Extending the Environmental, Social, and Governance Analytical Framework

U.S. consumers and investors are becoming more educated about how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters impact themselves and the economy. In fact, the increasing availability of information about ESG practices and their impacts on company performance is forcing companies to upgrade their standards and practices. Rather than risking backlash from regulators, the public, or investors, companies are now trying to manage and mitigate these risks and the potential for events such as the BP oil spill to protect their brand value and support continued consumer demand.

While this is positive for the U.S. economy as a whole, and for the companies poised to benefit from the push toward improving ESG awareness, it presents an increasingly complex investment landscape. At the same time, it also presents investors with a unique opportunity to identify and benefit from these trends.

That is why at Calvert we have developed sophisticated analytical approaches that enable our investment analysts and portfolio managers to quantify ESG issues in our valuation calculations and the buy and sell decisions of certain of our equity portfolios. This process further merges values with valuations in a way that seeks to improve investment performance and mitigate risks. To this end, we believe the ability to leverage the proprietary expertise of our investment and sustainability research teams can set Calvert apart as we strive to integrate ESG more deeply into our active portfolio management, seeking to identify those companies that manage their ESG impacts sustainably and create the most shareholder value.

Investment Climate

The six-month period ended March 31, 2013 was marked by uncertainties surrounding the U.S. presidential election and impending fiscal cliff, with equity markets ultimately benefiting from a relief rally to start 2013 as market participants responded favorably to the last-minute, short-term fiscal cliff deal. Hurricane Sandy weighed on the manufacturing sector, especially in the northeast, but improving data in the U.S. labor and housing markets and accommodative monetary policy by the Federal Reserve (Fed) helped boost investor sentiment.

There was some progress on the European policy front, but recessionary pressures in the eurozone and concerns about slower growth in China were a drag on international equity markets as the period wore on. Despite the headwinds emanating from Europe, all major global equity indices finished the first half of the fiscal year in positive territory with the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returning 10.19%, 11.10%, 14.48%, 12.18%, and 3.95%, respectively.

In a reversal of a multi-year trend, value stocks significantly outperformed growth stocks, and within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Industrials, and Consumer

Congress Avoids Fiscal Cliff but Political Dysfunction Continues

The fiscal cliff became a major source of concern for investors as the calendar-year-end deadline approached. Despite initial positive rhetoric from policymakers, negotiations were visibly contentious before Congress reached a last-minute deal that allowed the payroll tax cut to expire and postponed most spending cuts for two months, spurring a relief rally. However, political dysfunction quickly returned to the

forefront as U.S. policymakers were unable to reach a deal to avoid sequestration, prompting $85 billion in automatic spending cuts to take effect. Despite renewed fiscal policy headwinds, investors looked past the federal budget sequester and focused on the gradually improving economic conditions in the United States.

Economic Recovery in the United States Continues Despite Hurricane Sandy

Despite the negative economic impact of Hurricane Sandy, other U.S. macro data were mostly positive. Vehicle sales remained strong, construction spending continued to increase, and exports from the United States reached a record high as manufacturing activity rebounded following the “superstorm.” Our contention in the second half of 2011 that the U.S. housing sector had started to recover is now supported by multiple data points, including sales of new and existing homes as well as building permits and housing starts, which all increased through the first half of the fiscal year. At the same time, the inventory of homes for sale continued to tighten, helping push home prices higher. The decision by the U.S. Fed to purchase $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month in an effort to lower long-term interest rates seemed to be working as mortgage rates remained near historic lows.

The labor market continued to show signs of healing as unemployment claims maintained their downward trend and the unemployment rate fell to 7.6% as of March, although this was driven by a drop in labor force participation.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at a 3.1% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2012, although this slowed to a 0.1% gain in the fourth quarter. The

GROWTH OF $10,000

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


All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.86%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

marginal advance in the fourth quarter was attributed to a significant decline in government spending, which offset strong gains in residential investment and capital expenditures and a 2.2% increase in consumer spending.

The third-quarter U.S. earnings season proved to be less than stellar, as reported earnings of S&P 500 companies declined 1% on a year-over-year basis. However, 67% of S&P 500 companies beat earnings expectations and 65% topped revenue forecasts for the fourth-quarter earnings season.

Overall, strong signs of recovery in the U.S. housing market, the slowly improving employment picture, a decent earnings season, and good year-to-date performance in the equity markets seemed to be having a positive impact on Americans. Consumer confidence reached its highest level in five years while consumer spending also improved, giving us confidence that U.S. equity markets can continue to perform well in the long run.

Fed Maintains Accommodative Monetary Policy as Global Monetary Easing Cycle Continues

Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative stance. With that said, debate appeared to be growing inside the Fed about the appropriate time to scale back the most recent round of quantitative easing. The eventuality of this scale-back triggered considerable discussion in the media around the impact of rising interest rates.

Meanwhile, Japan launched a massive easing campaign aimed at fighting deflation, which helped produce a significant run in Japanese equities.

Progress on the Policy Front, but Eurozone in Double-Dip Recession

The eurozone officially entered into a recession in late 2012 for the second time in four years. With unemployment in the euro region hitting a record high 12%, and manufacturing PMI mired deep in contraction territory, the fiscal drag in the eurozone continued to be worse than anticipated. Even core European economies were not immune to the region’s recessionary pressures. The United Kingdom had its AAA credit rating cut by Moody’s, while the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Belgium reported their economies shrank in the fourth quarter.

There were some notable improvements on the European sovereign debt side, however. The European Central Bank’s pledge to buy the sovereign debt of countries under severe fiscal stress helped restore some investor confidence in the eurozone bond market.

Economic and financial crisis was averted in Cyprus as the country’s policymakers reached a deal with eurozone finance ministers and international creditors for a 10 billion euro bailout. While the last-minute deal prevented imminent defaults of the country’s major banks, it also renewed concerns about the region’s ability to resolve its sovereign debt crisis.

Signs of China’s Economic Slowdown Stabilizing

Unfortunately, recessionary pressures in Europe are also likely to continue impacting emerging market economies. However, data released during the period suggested China’s economic slowdown was stabilizing and the Chinese government’s growth-boosting measures seemed to be having the desired effect without stoking inflation fears. China’s real GDP rose 7.9% in the fourth quarter and both measures of China’s Manufacturing PMI finished the period in expansion territory.

Despite these positive data points, the Chinese economy is not out of the woods yet. China’s transition from an export-driven economy to a more consumer-driven economy will likely face significant challenges. Having said that, continued economic growth in the United States could provide a significant positive boost for the Chinese economy.

Outlook

Equity markets started 2013 having gained a tremendous amount of ground since the depths of the financial crisis. A recovering U.S. housing market, a decline in unemployment, record-high exports, and encouraging year-end manufacturing data fueled by an attractive U.S. dollar exchange rate have all helped boost U.S. equity market sentiment. However, with the possibility of another less-than-stellar upcoming earnings season, and few positive catalysts on the near-term horizon, a short-term pull-back in equities remains a distinct possibility.

We believe the U.S. economy will be able to maintain some expansion despite the sequester. Although having a short-term negative impact on economic growth, actions that reduce spending and improve budget strength for the United States over the long term are necessary. We expect housing to continue as a major driver of the recovery, having a positive impact on economic growth and consumer confidence as well as contributing to employment in housing-related sectors, as opposed to being a drag on the economy.

At the same time, we see the eurozone’s problems continuing to drag on and negatively impacting global economic growth. We believe the consensus forecast from the past several months for a European recovery was a bit premature. Because the economic recessionary pressures in the region are so pronounced and strong--especially in peripheral Europe, with Cyprus as one example, however small--the potential default issue may continue to resurface over time, reawakening markets to that reality.

Overall, we believe 2013 could be another good year for U.S. equities as investors look past the political dysfunction in Washington and move more money into stocks as they become more comfortable with risk. Value stocks generally performed better than growth companies in the second half of 2012 and we believe that this trend may persist in 2013, as risk aversion continues to subside. We also think small-cap equities are poised to post better returns than large-caps, driven by healthy earnings and top-line results as well as global M&A activity.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert International Equity Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. is comprised of four separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers five classes of shares of capital stock - Classes A, B, C, I, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. Class B shares are no longer offered for purchase, except through reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions and through certain exchanges. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class B and Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived for certain other institutional accounts where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges and (c) class-specific voting rights.

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

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund, except Special Equities investments, to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties. Special Equities investments, as described in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information, are fair valued by the Board’s Special Equities Committee.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratifica-

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 26


 

tion by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Funds’ investments by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities and venture capital securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value if the variation from the prior day’s closing price exceeds specified parameters. Such securities would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing this technique may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Venture capital securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Fund’s Board of Directors and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. Venture capital direct equity securities are generally valued using the most appropriate and applicable method to measure fair value in light of each company’s situation. Methods may include market, income or cost approaches with discounts as appropriate based on assumptions of liquidation or exit risk. Examples of the market approach are subsequent rounds of financing, comparable transactions, and revenue times an industry multiple. An example of the income approach is the

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 27


 

discounted cash flow. Examples of the cost approach are replacement cost, salvage value, or net asset percentage. Venture capital limited partnership (“LP”) securities are valued at the fair value reported by the general partner of the partnership adjusted as necessary to reflect subsequent capital calls and distributions and any other available information. In the absence of a reported LP unit value, fair value may be estimated based on the Fund’s percentage equity in the partnership and/or other balance sheet information and portfolio value for the most recently available period reported by the general partner. In some cases adjustments may be made to account for daily pricing of material public holdings within the partnership. Venture capital debt securities are valued based on assumptions of credit and market risk. For venture capital securities denominated in foreign currency, the fair value is marked to the daily exchange rate.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee or with respect to Special Equities investments, by the Special Equities Committee using the venture capital methodologies described above.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 28


 

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At March 31, 2013, securities valued at $8,791,536, or 2.8% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS    
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL  
Equity securities* $293,328,168 $293,328,168 **
Other debt obligations $5,932,740 5,932,740

TOTAL $293,328,168 $10,328,618 $4,395,658 $308,052,444  

 

* For further breakdown of equity securities by country, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

** Exclusive of $576,261 venture capital equity shown in venture capital heading.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

  VENTURE CAPITAL   TOTAL  
Balance as of 9/30/12 $3,605,572   $3,605,572  
Accrued discounts/premiums -   -  
Realized gain (loss) -   -  
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 150,106   150,106  
Purchases 684,886   684,886  
Sales (44,906 ) (44,906 )
Transfers in and/or out of Level 31 -   -  
Balance as of 3/31/13 $4,395,658   $4,395,658  

 

1 The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of Level 3 as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended March 31, 2013, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities included in the change in net assets was ($150,106). Total unrealized gain (loss) for all securities (including Level 1 and Level 2) can be found on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 29


 

Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund’s Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase in the same Fund (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 30


 

Expense Offset Arrangement: The Fund had an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may have been paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits were used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. This arrangement was suspended on January 1, 2013, until further notice, due to low interest rates. Such a deposit arrangement was an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) or, for International Funds, by country, and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and post-

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 41


 

age expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 11, 2012, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and each Subadvisor.

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.

The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Investment Subadvisory Agreement with the applicable Subadvisor. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 43


 

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Fund’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s investment, supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board considered the Advisor’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 Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Fund. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisors and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed below the median of its peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 44


 

ended June 30, 2012. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2012, and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance. The Board noted the Advisor’s continued monitoring of the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken with respect to the Fund’s performance.

In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class I and Class Y shares and that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses. The Board noted the Advisor’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the cost of providing the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an overall reduction in the transfer agency fees across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund’s Class I and Class Y Shares. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fees to the Subadvisors. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 45


 

The Board considered the effect of the Fund’s current size and its potential growth on its performance and fees. The Board took into account that the Fund’s advisory fee schedule contained breakpoints that would reduce the advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the Fund’s assets increased. The Board noted that the Fund was currently realizing economies of scale in its advisory fee. The Board also 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.

In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.

In evaluating each of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisors relating to their respective operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisors provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for themselves, and descriptions of their respective investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.

The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and each of the Subadvisors based on a number of factors relating to each Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the respective Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by each Subadvisor; each Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; each Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; each Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of each Subadvisor’s personnel; each Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the respective Investment Subadvisory Agreement; each Subadvisor’s risk management processes; each Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by each Subadvisor under the respective Investment Subadvisory Agreement.

As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Fund’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the Fund’s peer group and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk- adjusted performance of the Subadvisors.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to each Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Board noted that the subadviso-ry fees under each Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate each Investment Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. In addition, the Board

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 46


 

took into account the fees Martin Currie, Inc. charged to its other clients and considered these fee comparisons in light of the differences in managing these other accounts. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fees were reasonable. Because the Advisor pays the Subadvisors’ subadvisory fees and the subadvisory fees were negotiated at arm’s length by the Advisor, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisors and the profitability to the Subadvisors of their relationships with the Fund were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Subadvisor’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that Martin Currie, Inc.’s subadvisory fee schedule for the Fund contained breakpoints that reduced the subadvisory fee rate on assets above specified levels.

In reapproving each Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Advisor and each Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies; (c) the Advisor and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Advisor and each Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) appropriate action is being taken with respect to the performance of the Fund; and (f) the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and each Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Extending the Environmental, Social, and Governance Analytical Framework

U.S. consumers and investors are becoming more educated about how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters impact themselves and the economy. In fact, the increasing availability of information about ESG practices and their impacts on company performance is forcing companies to upgrade their standards and practices. Rather than risking backlash from regulators, the public, or investors, companies are now trying to manage and mitigate these risks and the potential for events such as the BP oil spill to protect their brand value and support continued consumer demand.

While this is positive for the U.S. economy as a whole, and for the companies poised to benefit from the push toward improving ESG awareness, it presents an increasingly complex investment landscape. At the same time, it also presents investors with a unique opportunity to identify and benefit from these trends.

That is why at Calvert we have developed sophisticated analytical approaches that enable our investment analysts and portfolio managers to quantify ESG issues in our valuation calculations and the buy and sell decisions of certain of our equity portfolios. This process further merges values with valuations in a way that seeks to improve investment performance and mitigate risks. To this end, we believe the ability to leverage the proprietary expertise of our investment and sustainability research teams can set Calvert apart as we strive to integrate ESG more deeply into our active portfolio management, seeking to identify those companies that manage their ESG impacts sustainably and create the most shareholder value.

Investment Climate

The six-month period ended March 31, 2013 was marked by uncertainties surrounding the U.S. presidential election and impending fiscal cliff, with equity markets ultimately benefiting from a relief rally to start 2013 as market participants responded favorably to the last-minute, short-term fiscal cliff deal. Hurricane Sandy weighed on the manufacturing sector, especially in the northeast, but improving data in the U.S. labor and housing markets and accommodative monetary policy by the Federal Reserve (Fed) helped boost investor sentiment.

There was some progress on the European policy front, but recessionary pressures in the eurozone and concerns about slower growth in China were a drag on international equity markets as the period wore on. Despite the headwinds emanating from Europe, all major global equity indices finished the first half of the fiscal year in positive territory with the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returning 10.19%, 11.10%, 14.48%, 12.18%, and 3.95%, respectively.

In a reversal of a multi-year trend, value stocks significantly outperformed growth stocks, and within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors, while the

Information Technology, Telecommunication Services, and Energy sectors lagged.

Congress Avoids Fiscal Cliff but Political Dysfunction Continues

The fiscal cliff became a major source of concern for investors as the calendar-year-end deadline approached. Despite initial positive rhetoric from policymakers, negotiations were visibly contentious before Congress reached a last-minute deal that allowed the payroll tax cut to expire and postponed most spending cuts for two months, spurring a relief rally. However, political dysfunction quickly returned to the forefront as U.S. policymakers were unable to reach a deal to avoid sequestration, prompting $85 billion in automatic spending cuts to take effect. Despite renewed fiscal policy headwinds, investors looked past the federal budget sequester and focused on the gradually improving economic conditions in the United States.

Economic Recovery in the United States Continues Despite Hurricane Sandy

Despite the negative economic impact of Hurricane Sandy, other U.S. macro data were mostly positive. Vehicle sales remained strong, construction spending continued to increase, and exports from the United States reached a record high as manufacturing activity rebounded following the “superstorm.” Our contention in the second half of 2011 that the U.S. housing sector had started to recover is now supported by multiple data points, including sales of new and existing homes as well as building permits and housing starts, which all increased through the first half of the fiscal year. At the same time, the inventory of homes for sale continued to tighten,

GROWTH OF $10,000

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

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 1.53%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

helping push home prices higher. The decision by the U.S. Fed to purchase $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month in an effort to lower long-term interest rates seemed to be working as mortgage rates remained near historic lows.

The labor market continued to show signs of healing as unemployment claims maintained their downward trend and the unemployment rate fell to 7.6% as of March, although this was driven by a drop in labor force participation.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at a 3.1% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2012, although this slowed to a 0.1% gain in the fourth quarter. The marginal advance in the fourth quarter was attributed to a significant decline in government spending, which offset strong gains in residential investment and capital expenditures and a 2.2% increase in consumer spending.

The third-quarter U.S. earnings season proved to be less than stellar, as reported earnings of S&P 500 companies declined 1% on a year-over-year basis. However, 67% of S&P 500 companies beat earnings expectations and 65% topped revenue forecasts for the fourth-quarter earnings season.

Overall, strong signs of recovery in the U.S. housing market, the slowly improving employment picture, a decent earnings season, and good year-to-date performance in the equity markets seemed to be having a positive impact on Americans. Consumer confidence reached its highest level in five years while consumer spending also improved, giv-

ing us confidence that U.S. equity markets can continue to perform well in the long run.

Fed Maintains Accommodative Monetary Policy as Global Monetary Easing Cycle Continues

Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative stance. With that said, debate appeared to be growing inside the Fed about the appropriate time to scale back the most recent round of quantitative easing. The eventuality of this scale-back triggered considerable discussion in the media around the impact of rising interest rates.

Meanwhile, Japan launched a massive easing campaign aimed at fighting deflation, which helped produce a significant run in Japanese equities.

Progress on the Policy Front, but Eurozone in Double-Dip Recession

The eurozone officially entered into a recession in late 2012 for the second time in four years. With unemployment in the euro region hitting a record high 12%, and manufacturing PMI mired deep in contraction territory, the fiscal drag in the eurozone continued to be worse than anticipated. Even core European economies were not immune to the region’s recessionary pressures. The United Kingdom had its AAA credit rating cut by Moody’s, while the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Belgium reported their economies shrank in the fourth quarter.

There were some notable improvements on the European sovereign debt side, however. The European Central Bank’s pledge to buy the sovereign debt of countries under severe fiscal stress helped restore some investor confidence in the eurozone bond market.

Economic and financial crisis was averted in Cyprus as the country’s policymakers reached a deal with eurozone finance ministers and international creditors for a 10 billion euro bailout. While the last-minute deal prevented imminent defaults of the country’s major banks, it also renewed concerns about the region’s ability to resolve its sovereign debt crisis.

Signs of China’s Economic Slowdown Stabilizing

Unfortunately, recessionary pressures in Europe are also likely to continue impacting emerging market economies. However, data released during the period suggested China’s economic slowdown was stabilizing and the Chinese government’s growth-boosting measures seemed to be having the desired effect without stoking inflation fears. China’s real GDP rose 7.9% in the fourth quarter and both measures of China’s Manufacturing PMI finished the period in expansion territory.

Despite these positive data points, the Chinese economy is not out of the woods yet. China’s transition from an export-driven economy to a more consumer-driven economy will likely face significant challenges. Having said that, continued economic growth in the United States could provide a significant positive boost for the Chinese economy.

Outlook

Equity markets started 2013 having gained a tremendous amount of ground since the depths of the financial crisis. A recovering U.S. housing market, a decline in unemployment, record-high exports, and encouraging year-end manufacturing data fueled by an attractive U.S. dollar exchange rate have all helped boost U.S. equity market sentiment. However, with the possibility of another less-than-stellar upcoming earnings season, and few positive catalysts on the near-term horizon, a short-term pull-back in equities remains a distinct possibility.

We believe the U.S. economy will be able to maintain some expansion despite the sequester. Although having a short-term negative impact on economic growth, actions that reduce spending and improve budget strength for the United States over the long term are necessary. We expect housing to continue as a major driver of the recovery, having a positive impact on economic growth and consumer confidence as well as contributing to employment in housing-related sectors, as opposed to being a drag on the economy.

At the same time, we see the eurozone’s problems continuing to drag on and negatively impacting global economic growth. We believe the consensus forecast from the past several months for a European recovery was a bit premature. Because the economic recessionary pressures in the region are so pronounced and strong--especially in peripheral Europe, with Cyprus as one example, however small--the potential default issue may continue to resurface over time, reawakening markets to that reality.

Overall, we believe 2013 could be another good year for U.S. equities as investors look past the political dysfunction in Washington and move more money into stocks as they become more comfortable with risk. Value stocks generally performed better than growth companies in the second half of 2012 and we believe that this trend may persist in 2013, as risk aversion continues to subside. We also think small-cap equities are poised to post better returns than large-caps, driven by healthy earnings and top-line results as well as global M&A activity.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. is comprised of four separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers five classes of shares of capital stock - Classes A, B, C, I, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge at the time of redemption, depending on how long investors have owned the shares. Class B shares are no longer offered for purchase, except through reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions and through certain exchanges. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class B and Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived for certain other institutional accounts where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A Shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.

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

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation

www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19


 

Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Funds’ investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Funds’ investments by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would

www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 20


 

materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At March 31, 2013, securities valued at $1,408,051, or 0.5% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets as of March 31, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $305,744,573 $305,744,573
Other debt obligations $6,363,461 6,363,461
TOTAL $305,744,573 $6,363,461 $312,108,034

 

* For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

Restricted Securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Generally, these securities may only be sold publicly upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or in transactions exempt from such registration. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified

www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21


 

cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

Expense Offset Arrangement: The Fund had an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may have been paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits were used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. This arrangement was suspended on January 1, 2013, until further notice, due to low interest rates. Such a deposit arrangement was an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31


 

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fee, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 11, 2012, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Fund.

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund’s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.

The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33


 

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Fund’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Fund. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisor and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer group for the one, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and

www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34


 

total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for some classes and that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses for one share class. The Board noted the Advisor’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the cost of providing the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor. The Board also noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an overall reduction in the transfer agency fees across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the high quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses for one share class. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for some classes. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

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 given the Fund’s current size. 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.

In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.

In evaluating the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisor relating to its operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisor pro-

www.calvert.com CALVERT CAPITAL ACCUMULATION FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 35


 

vided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for itself, and descriptions of its investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.

The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadvisor and the Advisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; the Fund’s performance record and the Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s risk management processes; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Subadvisor under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement.

As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Fund’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the Fund’s peer group and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Board noted that the subadvisory fee under the Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Investment Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fee was reasonable. Because the Advisor pays the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee and the subadvisory fee was negotiated at arm’s length by the Advisor, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in its consideration.

In reapproving the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor

has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the Fund’s performance is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Extending the Environmental, Social, and Governance Analytical Framework

U.S. consumers and investors are becoming more educated about how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters impact themselves and the economy. In fact, the increasing availability of information about ESG practices and their impacts on company performance is forcing companies to upgrade their standards and practices. Rather than risking backlash from regulators, the public, or investors, companies are now trying to manage and mitigate these risks and the potential for events such as the BP oil spill to protect their brand value and support continued consumer demand.

While this is positive for the U.S. economy as a whole, and for the companies poised to benefit from the push toward improving ESG awareness, it presents an increasingly complex investment landscape. At the same time, it also presents investors with a unique opportunity to identify and benefit from these trends.

That is why at Calvert we have developed sophisticated analytical approaches that enable our investment analysts and portfolio managers to quantify ESG issues in our valuation calculations and the buy and sell decisions of certain of our equity portfolios. This process further merges values with valuations in a way that seeks to improve investment performance and mitigate risks. To this end, we believe the ability to leverage the proprietary expertise of our investment and sustainability research teams can set Calvert apart as we strive to integrate ESG more deeply into our active portfolio management, seeking to identify those companies that manage their ESG impacts sustainably and create the most shareholder value.

Investment Climate

The six-month period ended March 31, 2013 was marked by uncertainties surrounding the U.S. presidential election and impending fiscal cliff, with equity markets ultimately benefiting from a relief rally to start 2013 as market participants responded favorably to the last-minute, short-term fiscal cliff deal. Hurricane Sandy weighed on the manufacturing sector, especially in the northeast, but improving data in the U.S. labor and housing markets and accommodative monetary policy by the Federal Reserve (Fed) helped boost investor sentiment.

There was some progress on the European policy front, but recessionary pressures in the eurozone and concerns about slower growth in China were a drag on international equity markets as the period wore on. Despite the headwinds emanating from Europe, all major global equity indices finished the first half of the fiscal year in positive territory with the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets

Congress Avoids Fiscal Cliff but Political Dysfunction Continues

The fiscal cliff became a major source of concern for investors as the calendar-year-end deadline approached. Despite initial positive rhetoric from policymakers, negotiations were visibly contentious before

Congress reached a last-minute deal that allowed the payroll tax cut to expire and postponed most spending cuts for two months, spurring a relief rally. However, political dysfunction quickly returned to the forefront as U.S. policymakers were unable to reach a deal to avoid sequestration, prompting $85 billion in automatic spending cuts to take effect. Despite renewed fiscal policy headwinds, investors looked past the federal budget sequester and focused on the gradually improving economic conditions in the United States.

Economic Recovery in the United States Continues Despite Hurricane Sandy

Despite the negative economic impact of Hurricane Sandy, other U.S. macro data were mostly positive. Vehicle sales remained strong, construction spending continued to increase, and exports from the United States reached a record high as manufacturing activity rebounded following the “superstorm.” Our contention in the second half of 2011 that the U.S. housing sector had started to recover is now supported by multiple data points, including sales of new and existing homes as well as building permits and housing starts, which all increased through the first half of the fiscal year. At the same time, the inventory

of homes for sale continued to tighten, helping push home prices higher. The decision by the U.S. Fed to purchase $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month in an effort to lower long-term interest rates seemed to be working as mortgage rates remained near historic lows.

The labor market continued to show signs of healing as unemployment claims maintained their downward trend and the unemployment rate fell to 7.6% as of March, although this was driven by a drop in labor force participation.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at a 3.1% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2012, although this slowed to a 0.1% gain in the fourth quarter. The marginal advance in the fourth quarter was attributed to a significant decline in government

GROWTH OF $10,000

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

All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 2.35%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

spending, which offset strong gains in residential investment and capital expenditures and a 2.2% increase in consumer spending.

The third-quarter U.S. earnings season proved to be less than stellar, as reported earnings of S&P 500 companies declined 1% on a year-over-year basis. However, 67% of S&P 500 companies beat earnings expectations and 65% topped revenue forecasts for the fourth-quarter earnings season.

Overall, strong signs of recovery in the U.S. housing market, the slowly improving employment picture, a decent earnings season, and good year-to-date performance in the equity markets seemed to be having a positive impact on Americans. Consumer confidence reached its highest level in five years while consumer spending also improved, giving us confidence that U.S. equity markets can continue to perform well in the long run.

Fed Maintains Accommodative Monetary Policy as Global Monetary Easing Cycle Continues

Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative stance. With that said, debate appeared to be growing inside the Fed about the appropriate time to scale back the most recent round of quantitative easing. The eventuality of this scale-back triggered considerable discussion in the media around the impact of rising interest rates.

Meanwhile, Japan launched a massive easing campaign aimed at fighting deflation, which helped produce a significant run in Japanese equities.

Progress on the Policy Front, but Eurozone in Double-Dip Recession

The eurozone officially entered into a recession in late 2012 for the second time in four years. With unemployment in the euro region hitting a record high 12%, and manufacturing PMI mired deep in contraction territory, the fiscal drag in the eurozone continued to be worse than anticipated. Even core European economies were not immune to the region’s recessionary pressures. The United Kingdom had its AAA credit rating cut by Moody’s, while the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Belgium reported their economies shrank in the fourth quarter.

There were some notable improvements on the European sovereign debt side, however. The European Central Bank’s pledge to buy the sovereign debt of countries under severe fiscal stress helped restore some investor confidence in the eurozone bond market.

Economic and financial crisis was averted in Cyprus as the country’s policymakers reached a deal with eurozone finance ministers and international creditors for a 10 billion euro bailout. While the last-minute deal prevented imminent defaults of the country’s major banks, it also renewed concerns about the region’s ability to resolve its sovereign debt crisis.

Signs of China’s Economic Slowdown Stabilizing

Unfortunately, recessionary pressures in Europe are also likely to continue impacting emerging market economies. However, data released during the period suggested China’s economic slowdown was stabilizing and the Chinese government’s growth-boosting measures seemed to be having the desired effect without stoking inflation fears. China’s real GDP rose 7.9% in the fourth quarter and both measures of China’s Manufacturing PMI finished the period in expansion territory.

Despite these positive data points, the Chinese economy is not out of the woods yet. China’s transition from an export-driven economy to a more consumer-driven economy will likely face significant challenges. Having said that, continued economic growth in the United States could provide a significant positive boost for the Chinese economy.

Outlook

Equity markets started 2013 having gained a tremendous amount of ground since the depths of the financial crisis. A recovering U.S. housing market, a decline in unemployment, record-high exports, and encouraging year-end manufacturing data fueled by an attractive U.S. dollar exchange rate have all helped boost U.S. equity market sentiment. However, with the possibility of another less-than-stellar upcoming earnings season, and few positive catalysts on the near-term horizon, a short-term pull-back in equities remains a distinct possibility.

We believe the U.S. economy will be able to maintain some expansion despite the sequester. Although having a short-term negative impact on economic growth, actions that reduce spending and improve budget strength for the United States over the long term are necessary. We expect housing to continue as a major driver of the recovery, having a positive impact on economic growth and consumer confidence as well as contributing to employment in housing-related sectors, as opposed to being a drag on the economy.

At the same time, we see the eurozone’s problems continuing to drag on and negatively impacting global economic growth. We believe the consensus forecast from the past several months for a European recovery was a bit premature. Because the economic recessionary pressures in the region are so pronounced and strong--especially in peripheral Europe, with Cyprus as one example, however small--the potential default issue may continue to resurface over time, reawakening markets to that reality.

Overall, we believe 2013 could be another good year for U.S. equities as investors look past the political dysfunction in Washington and move more money into stocks as they become more comfortable with risk. Value stocks generally performed better than growth companies in the second half of 2012 and we believe that this trend may persist in 2013, as risk aversion continues to subside. We also think small-cap equities are poised to post better returns than large-caps, driven by healthy earnings and top-line results as well as global M&A activity.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. is comprised of four separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund offers four classes of shares of capital stock - Classes A, C, I, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived for certain other institutional accounts where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges, and (c) class-specific voting rights.

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

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 20


 

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Funds’ investments by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value if the variation from the prior day’s closing price exceeds specified parameters. Such securities would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing this technique may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21


 

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At March 31, 2013, securities valued at $93,828, or 0.1% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2013:

    VALUATION INPUTS    
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3   TOTAL
Equity securities* $60,529,332 $93,828   $60,623,160
Other debt obligations $3,280,951   3,280,951
TOTAL $60,529,332 $3,280,951 $93,828 ** $63,904,111

 

* For further breakdown of equity securities by country, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

** Level 3 securities represent 0.1% of net assets.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income,

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 22


 

which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income, and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

Expense Offset Arrangement: The Fund had an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may have been paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits were used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. This arrangement was suspended on January 1, 2013, until further notice, due to low interest rates. Such a deposit arrangement was an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. A Fund’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) or, for International Funds, by country, and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees,

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 32


 

shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 11, 2012, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. and the Advisor and the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and each Subadvisor.

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund and the Advisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed a report prepared by the Advisor regarding various services provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates. Such report included, among other data, information regarding the Advisor’s personnel and the Advisor’s revenue and cost of providing services to the Fund, and a separate report prepared by an independent third party, which provided a statistical analysis comparing the Fund ‘s investment performance, expenses, and fees to comparable mutual funds.

The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Investment Subadvisory Agreement with the applicable Subadvisor. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed con-

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34


 

tinuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Investment Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in private sessions with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including the personnel providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s advisory fee; comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates; the allocation of the Fund’s brokerage, including the Advisor’s process for monitoring “best execution”; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, derived by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other information, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board also took into account similar information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board’s familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board also noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis information regarding the Advisor’s compliance with applicable policies and procedures, including those related to personal investing. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor generally had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other changes. The Board also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Fund. The Board discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of the Subadvisors and its timeliness in responding to performance issues. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In considering the Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. In addition, the Board took into account overall financial market conditions. The Board also reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including, among other information, a comparison

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 35


 

of the Fund’s total return with its Lipper index and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer group for the one- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012 and below the median of its peer group for the three-year period ended June 30, 2012. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2012 and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s recent outperformance. The Board also noted that the Subadvisors had begun managing the Fund in September 2011. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory.

In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board compared the Fund’s fees and total expense ratio with various comparative data for the funds in its peer group. Among other findings, the data indicated that the Fund’s advisory fee (after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements) was below the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were above the median of its peer group. The Board noted that the allocation of advisory and administrative fees may vary among the Fund’s peer group. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and certain factors that affected the level of such expenses, including the cost of providing the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor. The Board noted that in 2011, the transfer agency fees paid by the Calvert Family of Funds had been renegotiated, resulting in an overall reduction in the transfer agency fees across the Calvert Family of Funds complex. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and the other factors considered.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability on a fund-by-fund basis. In reviewing the overall profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board also considered the fact that affiliates of the Advisor provided shareholder servicing, administrative and distribution services to the Fund for which they received compensation. The information considered by the Board included Calvert’s operating profit margin information both before and after tax expenses with respect to the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provided to the Calvert Family of Funds complex. The Board reviewed the profitability of the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Fund and whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed expenses of the Fund. The Board also noted the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund. The Board also considered that the Advisor derived benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Advisor paid the subad-visory fees to the Subadvisors. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 36


 

Advisor’s and its affiliates’ level of profitability from their relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

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 given the Fund’s current size. 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.

In reapproving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.

In evaluating each of the Investment Subadvisory Agreements, the disinterested Directors reviewed information provided by the Subadvisors relating to their respective operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Subadvisors provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for themselves, and descriptions of their respective investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.

The Board reapproved the Investment Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and each of the Subadvisors based on a number of factors relating to each Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the respective Investment Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by each Subadvisor; each Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record; each Subadvisor’s performance in employing its investment strategies; each Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of each Subadvisor’s personnel; each Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the respective Investment Subadvisory Agreement; each Subadvisor’s risk management processes; each Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by each Subadvisor under the respective Investment Subadvisory Agreement.

As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the Fund’s performance during the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the Fund’s peer group and noted that it reviewed on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and investment strategies. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk- adjusted performance of the Subadvisors.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to each Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Board noted that

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 37


 

the subadvisory fees under each Investment Subadvisory Agreement was paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee that the Advisor received under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate each Investment Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the subadvisory fees were reasonable. Because the Advisor pays the Subadvisors’ subadvisory fees and the subadvisory fees were negotiated at arm’s length by the Advisor, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisors and the profitability to the Subadvisors of their relationships with the Fund were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Subadvisor’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in its consideration, although the Board noted that each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee schedule for the Fund contained breakpoints that reduced the subadvisory fee rate on assets above specified levels.

In reapproving each Investment Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Investment Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) each Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies; (c) the Advisor and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) each Subadvisor is likely to execute its investment strategies consistently over time; (e) the Fund’s overall performance is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices; and (f) the Fund ‘s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable relative to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and each Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that reapproval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Investment Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Extending the Environmental, Social, and Governance Analytical Framework

U.S. consumers and investors are becoming more educated about how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters impact themselves and the economy. In fact, the increasing availability of information about ESG practices and their impacts on company performance is forcing companies to upgrade their standards and practices. Rather than risking backlash from regulators, the public, or investors, companies are now trying to manage and mitigate these risks and the potential for events such as the BP oil spill to protect their brand value and support continued consumer demand.

While this is positive for the U.S. economy as a whole, and for the companies poised to benefit from the push toward improving ESG awareness, it presents an increasingly complex investment landscape. At the same time, it also presents investors with a unique opportunity to identify and benefit from these trends.

That is why at Calvert we have developed sophisticated analytical approaches that enable our investment analysts and portfolio managers to quantify ESG issues in our valuation calculations and the buy and sell decisions of certain of our equity portfolios. This process further merges values with valuations in a way that seeks to improve investment performance and mitigate risks. To this end, we believe the ability to leverage the proprietary expertise of our investment and sustainability research teams can set Calvert apart as we strive to integrate ESG more deeply into our active portfolio management, seeking to identify those companies that manage their ESG impacts sustainably and create the most shareholder value.

Investment Climate

The six-month period ended March 31, 2013 was marked by uncertainties surrounding the U.S. presidential election and impending fiscal cliff, with equity markets ultimately benefiting from a relief rally to start 2013 as market participants responded favorably to the last-minute, short-term fiscal cliff deal. Hurricane Sandy weighed on the manufacturing sector, especially in the northeast, but improving data in the U.S. labor and housing markets and accommodative monetary policy by the Federal Reserve (Fed) helped boost investor sentiment.

There was some progress on the European policy front, but recessionary pressures in the eurozone and concerns about slower growth in China were a drag on international equity markets as the period wore on. Despite the headwinds emanating from Europe, all major global equity indices finished the first half of the fiscal year in positive territory with the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returning 10.19%, 11.10%, 14.48%, 12.18%, and 3.95%, respectively.

Congress Avoids Fiscal Cliff but Political Dysfunction Continues

The fiscal cliff became a major source of concern for investors as the calendar-year-end deadline approached. Despite initial positive rhetoric from policymakers, negotiations were visibly contentious before Congress reached a last-minute deal that allowed the payroll tax cut to expire and postponed most spending cuts for two months, spurring a relief rally. However,

political dysfunction quickly returned to the forefront as U.S. policymakers were unable to reach a deal to avoid sequestration, prompting $85 billion in automatic spending cuts to take effect. Despite renewed fiscal policy headwinds, investors looked past the federal budget sequester and focused on the gradually improving economic conditions in the United States.

Economic Recovery in the United States Continues Despite Hurricane Sandy

Despite the negative economic impact of Hurricane Sandy, other U.S. macro data were mostly positive. Vehicle sales remained strong, construction spending continued to increase, and exports from the United States reached a record high as manufacturing activity rebounded following the “superstorm.”

Our contention in the second half of 2011 that the U.S. housing sector had started to recover is now supported by multiple data points, including sales of new and existing homes as well as building permits and housing starts, which all increased through the first half of the fiscal year. At the same time, the inventory of homes for sale continued to tighten, helping push home prices higher. The decision by the U.S. Fed to purchase $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month in an effort to lower long-term interest rates seemed to be working as mortgage rates remained near historic lows.

The labor market continued to show signs of healing as unemployment claims maintained their downward trend and the unemployment rate fell to 7.6% as of March, although this was driven by a drop in labor force participation.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at a 3.1% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2012, although this slowed to a 0.1% gain in the fourth quarter. The marginal advance in the fourth quarter was attributed to a significant decline in government spending, which offset strong gains in residential investment and capital expenditures and a 2.2% increase in consumer spending.

The third-quarter U.S. earnings season proved to be less than stellar, as reported earnings of S&P 500 companies declined 1% on a year-over-year basis. However, 67% of S&P 500 companies beat earnings expectations and 65% topped revenue forecasts for the fourth-quarter earnings season.

Overall, strong signs of recovery in the U.S. housing market, the slowly improving employment picture, a decent earnings season, and good year-to-date performance in the equity markets seemed to be having a positive impact on Americans. Consumer confi-

GROWTH OF $10,000

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


All performance data shown, including the graph above and the adjacent table, represents past performance, does not guarantee future results, assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund’s distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; for current performance data visit www.calvert.com. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class A shares is 2.95%. This number may differ from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. Performance data quoted already reflects the deduction of the Fund’s operating expenses.

dence reached its highest level in five years while consumer spending also improved, giving us confidence that U.S. equity markets can continue to perform well in the long run.

Fed Maintains Accommodative Monetary Policy as Global Monetary Easing Cycle Continues

Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative stance. With that said, debate appeared to be growing inside the Fed about the appropriate time to scale back the most recent round of quantitative easing. The eventuality of this scale-back triggered considerable discussion in the media around the impact of rising interest rates.

Meanwhile, Japan launched a massive easing campaign aimed at fighting deflation, which helped produce a significant run in Japanese equities.

Progress on the Policy Front, but Eurozone in Double-Dip Recession

The eurozone officially entered into a recession in late 2012 for the second time in four years. With unemployment in the euro region hitting a record high 12%, and manufacturing PMI mired deep in contraction territory, the fiscal drag in the eurozone continued to be worse than anticipated. Even core European economies were not immune to the region’s recessionary pressures. The United Kingdom had its AAA credit rating cut by Moody’s, while the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Belgium reported their economies shrank in the fourth quarter.

There were some notable improvements on the European sovereign debt side, however. The European Central Bank’s pledge to buy the sovereign debt of countries under severe fiscal stress helped restore some investor confidence in the eurozone bond market.

Economic and financial crisis was averted in Cyprus as the country’s policymakers reached a deal with eurozone finance ministers and international creditors for a 10 billion euro bailout. While the last-minute deal prevented imminent defaults of the country’s major banks, it also renewed concerns about the region’s ability to resolve its sovereign debt crisis.

Signs of China’s Economic Slowdown Stabilizing

Unfortunately, recessionary pressures in Europe are also likely to continue impacting emerging market economies. However, data released during the period suggested China’s economic slowdown was stabilizing and the Chinese government’s growth-boosting measures seemed to be having the desired effect without stoking inflation fears. China’s real GDP rose 7.9% in the fourth quarter and both measures of China’s Manufacturing PMI finished the period in expansion territory.

Despite these positive data points, the Chinese economy is not out of the woods yet. China’s transition from an export-driven economy to a more consumer-driven economy will likely face significant challenges. Having said that, continued economic growth in the United States could provide a significant positive boost for the Chinese economy.

Outlook

Equity markets started 2013 having gained a tremendous amount of ground since the depths of the financial crisis. A recovering U.S. housing market, a decline in unemployment, record-high exports, and encouraging year-end manufacturing data fueled by an attractive U.S. dollar exchange rate have all helped boost U.S. equity market sentiment. However, with the possibility of another less-than-stellar upcoming earnings season, and few positive catalysts on the near-term horizon, a short-term pull-back in equities remains a distinct possibility.

We believe the U.S. economy will be able to maintain some expansion despite the sequester. Although having a short-term negative impact on economic growth, actions that reduce spending and improve budget strength for the United States over the long term are necessary. We expect housing to continue as a major driver of the recovery, having a positive impact on economic growth and consumer confidence as well as contributing to employment in housing-related sectors, as opposed to being a drag on the economy.

At the same time, we see the eurozone’s problems continuing to drag on and negatively impacting global economic growth. We believe the consensus forecast from the past several months for a European recovery was a bit premature. Because the economic recessionary pressures in the region are so pronounced and strong--especially in peripheral Europe, with Cyprus as one example, however small--the potential default issue may continue to resurface over time, reawakening markets to that reality.

Overall, we believe 2013 could be another good year for U.S. equities as investors look past the political dysfunction in Washington and move more money into stocks as they become more comfortable with risk. Value stocks generally performed better than growth companies in the second half of 2012 and we believe that this trend may persist in 2013, as risk aversion continues to subside. We also think small-cap equities are poised to post better returns than large-caps, driven by healthy earnings and top-line results as well as global M&A activity.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Calvert World Values Fund, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. is comprised of four separate series. The operations of each series are accounted for separately. The Fund commenced operations on October 29, 2012. The Fund offers four classes of shares of capital stock - Classes A, C, I, and Y. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and, with certain exceptions, will be charged a deferred sales charge on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares have higher levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class I shares require a minimum account balance of $1,000,000. The $1 million minimum initial investment is waived for retirement plans that trade through omnibus accounts and may be waived for certain other institutional accounts where it is believed to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Class I shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Class Y shares are generally only available to wrap or similar fee-based programs offered by financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with the Fund’s Distributor to offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares have no front-end or deferred sales charge and have lower levels of expenses than Class A shares. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges, and (c) class-specific voting rights.

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

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Fund to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

www.calvert.com CALVERT EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 18


 

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Fund’s investments by major category are as follows: Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Fund, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. The Fund has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value if the variation from the prior day’s closing price exceeds specified parameters. Such securities would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing this technique may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded funds and closed-end funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would

www.calvert.com CALVERT EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19


 

materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At March 31, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $27,938,794 $27,938,794
Closed-end funds 1,195,663 1,195,663
Exchange traded funds 822,576 822,576
Other debt obligations $387,651 387,651
TOTAL $29,957,033 $387,651 $30,344,684

 

* For further breakdown of equity securities by country, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in

www.calvert.com CALVERT EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 20


 

accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income, and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities and foreign currencies.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee on redemptions, including exchanges, made within 30 days of purchase (within seven days for Class I shares). The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital and is intended to discourage market-timers by ensuring that short-term trading costs are borne by the investors making the transactions and not the shareholders already in the Fund.

Expense Offset Arrangement: The Fund had an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the custodian’s fees may have been paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. These credits were used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. This arrangement was suspended on January 1, 2013, until further notice, due to low interest rates. Such a deposit arrangement was an alternative to overnight investments.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

www.calvert.com CALVERT EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21


 

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.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) or, for International Funds, by country, and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees,

www.calvert.com CALVERT EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 29


 

shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown per class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on September 11, 2012, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, voted to approve an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between Calvert World Values Fund, Inc. and the Advisor, that would add the Fund to the Advisory Agreement, and initially approve the Investment Subadvisory Agreement (the “Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and Hermes Investment Management Limited (the “Subadvisor”) with respect to the Fund.

In evaluating the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed certain information and materials prepared by the Advisor and the Subadvisor regarding various services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor and its affiliates and the Subadvisor.

The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed amendment to the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in a private session with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board of

Directors considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, including the personnel that would be providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Fund’s proposed advisory fee; comparative fee and expense information for the Fund; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, to be derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund; the effect of the Fund’s potential growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses; the affiliated distributor’s process for monitoring sales load breakpoints; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other data, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board of Directors also took into account similar information provided throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board of Directors’ familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions and other reports. The Board of Directors discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of similarly managed funds’ subadvisors and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues with respect to those funds. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Fund, were also considered. The Board of Directors concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement.

In considering performance, the Board took into account the Subadvisor’s performance with similarly managed accounts, noting the Subadvisor’s long-term performance record with respect to the investment strategies that it would utilize in managing the Fund. Among other performance information presented to the Board, the Directors noted that the emerging markets product currently managed by the Subadvisor had outperformed the MSCI Emerging Market Index on a gross basis for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2012. The Board also considered that the strategy outperformed for the one-year period after adjusting for the Fund’s proposed fees and expenses. The Board also considered the performance of the Subadvisor’s emerging markets strategy relative to its Lipper peer group for the rolling three-year periods from April 2002 through March 2012. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.

In considering the Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board of Directors compared the Fund’s proposed fees and estimated total expense ratio with those of comparable funds. The Board noted that the Fund’s proposed management fee and estimated total expenses, after estimated reimbursements, were generally within the range of the management fees and total expenses paid by certain comparable funds as selected by the Advisor in the materials it provided to the Board. The Board of Directors took into account that the Advisor

had contractually agreed to impose expense limitations on all share classes of the Fund through January 31, 2014. The Board also considered the impact of the size of the Fund on the Fund’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors determined that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in view of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

In reviewing the anticipated profitability of the advisory fee to the Fund’s Advisor, the Board of Directors considered the fact that affiliates would be providing shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Fund for which they would receive compensation. The Board of Directors also considered whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to provide a high level of services to the Fund. The Board of Directors noted that the Advisor had agreed to reimburse expenses of the Fund above a certain asset level. The Board of Directors also considered that the Advisor would likely derive benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board also noted that the Advisor would pay the subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors concluded that the Advisor’s anticipated level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable.

The Board of Directors considered the effect of the Fund’s potential size and growth on its performance and expenses. The Board of Directors also 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. The Board of Directors concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time.

In approving the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director attributed different weight to various factors.

In evaluating the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor relating to the Subadvisor’s operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Advisor and the Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for the Subadvisor, and descriptions of the Subadvisor’s investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures and brokerage policies and practices.

The Board approved the Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor based on a number of factors relating to the Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record in employing its investment strategies; the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; the Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the Subadvisory Agreement; the Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Subadvisor under the Subadvisory Agreement.

As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the performance of comparable accounts managed by the Subadvisor using investment strategies that were substantially similar to the ones the Subadvisor proposed to use in managing the Fund. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of other subadvisors.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the estimated profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Board noted that the subadvisory fees under the Subadvisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees that the Advisor would receive under the Advisory Agreement. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. The Board took into account the level of fees that the Subadvisor charges its existing emerging markets product. Because the Advisor would pay the Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee and had negotiated that fee at arm’s length with the Subadvisor, the costs of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the estimated profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Subadvisor’s management of the Fund to be a material factor in its consideration.

In approving the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) the Subadvisor’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objective of the Fund; and (e) the Fund’s proposed advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that approval of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement would be in the interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
