After a “risk-on” year in 2013, the first quarter of 2014 proved to be a more challenging environment for equities. Concerns about economic growth in emerging markets, geopolitical turmoil in the Ukraine, and somewhat softer macroeconomic data in the United States injected more risk aversion into the markets. At the same time, profit-taking and tempered expectations for a repeat performance of stellar 2013 returns likely drove down investor risk tolerance in the first quarter.

Despite investors taking a more cautious approach toward equities at the start of 2014, the exceptionally strong performance of the equity markets, particularly U.S. equities, in the fourth quarter of 2013 allowed all major global equity indices to finish the six-month reporting period in positive territory. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned 12.51%, 12.48%, 9.94%, 6.56%, and 1.49%, respectively.

From an investment-style perspective, small-cap stocks underperformed their large-cap counterparts, while value stocks outperformed growth stocks. The rotation from expensive growth stocks to more bargain-priced value stocks, if it continues, could suggest a more favorable outlook for

A Look at the Environmental, Social, and Governance Analytical Framework

In recent years, U.S. consumers, investors, and companies themselves have become increasingly aware of how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters impact the corporate bottom line, the economy, and quality of life. At Calvert, we continue to look for ways to add value to many of our equity portfolios by integrating critical ESG factors into our research process on a company-by-company basis. We work extensively with our in-house sustainability research department to develop quantitative ESG methods and measures, compiled from multiple externally- and internally-generated data sources. We use these inputs in conjunction with fundamental research on company valuations and investment theses.

This integrated approach has yielded multiple opportunities to add value to the investment process, either by identifying long-term investment potential or by uncovering hidden risks. Calvert also continues to advocate for improved corporate policies in the areas of climate change, financial market reform, corporate governance, revenue transparency, and sustainability reporting, among others. Taken together, these efforts are helping to enhance the market’s focus on and understanding of relevant ESG issues.

U.S. Economic Recovery Moves Forward, Despite Fed Tapering Talk

Positive fourth-quarter results in the equity markets were driven by several factors, centering on continued U.S. economic recovery and growing investor confidence, thus creating an environment conducive to earnings expansion. These factors explain, in part, why U.S. equities shone so strongly compared with foreign developed and emerging markets. Extreme weather likely held back economic growth in much of the U.S. during the period, but markets

found support as investors gained comfort in the view that weaker economic data was more a by-product of inclement weather, rather than reflecting a broader economic slowdown.

The Fed’s decision to begin tapering its quantitative easing (QE) programs in January divided analysts on whether rising interest rates would dampen the economic recovery and create downward pressure on stocks, or whether they would instill confidence that the Fed is being responsible and attract more investors. On the whole, the resiliency and low volatility of interest rates in the wake of Fed tapering was a positive sign, indicating that—at least for a while—tapering need not produce the kind of jump in interest rates many analysts had feared.

Consumers Play a Key Role in Recovery

Although market analysts have focused largely on what is happening at the Federal Reserve, we believe an important driver of economic activity in the United States, and of Fed policy by extension, is the continued improvement in the health of the consumer balance sheet. This gives consumers better access to consumer loans and mortgages, supporting the continued recovery of the housing and automotive industries, among others. At the same time, initial jobless claims maintained their downward trend throughout the period. Continued improvements in the labor market should support consumer spending and the U.S. housing sector—keys to the success of the U.S. economic recovery.

An Anemic Europe and Sluggish China Worry Investors

A global backdrop of lower-than-target inflation persisted throughout the period, despite continued aggressive easing actions by the world’s largest central banks. There are several drivers contributing to low

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 Class 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 1.78%. 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.

inflation we believe are likely to persist in the near-term. For example, anemic economic activity in Europe continued to highlight the threat of deflation, as inflation in the euro-zone dipped below 1% during the period. While European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi indicated a willingness to intervene if further downside risks to price stability materialize, there appear to be few catalysts capable of driving an increase in demand-side inflation since the euro area’s economic recovery has remained tepid.

Worries about a hard landing in China returned to the forefront of investor concerns as the China HSBC Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) steadily declined throughout the period into contraction territory. Meanwhile, political upheaval in the Ukraine, which culminated with Russian forces occupying the Crimea region, injected further risk aversion into investor sentiment. The situation continued to negatively impact emerging-market stocks and currencies, which were already under pressure due to the prospect of slower GDP growth in emerging markets. We expect the Ukraine situation to be a continued source of headline market risk in the near-term, until a final diplomatic solution is reached.

Outlook

The contrast in economic conditions between the United States and both Europe and China (and other emerging markets) should continue to draw more investment to the U.S. in the near-term. Fed tapering will most likely add to this effect in equities as well as other asset classes. We expect the dollar to continue strengthening slowly, which may provide another reason for foreign investors to favor U.S. securities over those in their domestic markets. This also supports our outlook for continued low inflation in the near-term.

The recovery may still feel “sluggish” because the current 6.7% unemployment rate—while down from a recession peak of 10%—is still running higher than in previous expansions. From the perspective of equity investors, however, higher unemployment is likely keep downward pressure on wages, which, in turn, could help strengthen profit margins.

We think the Fed will be particularly careful not to derail economic expansion, especially as long as inflation remains low, and will do so by carefully telegraphing its position and plans as they evolve. Moreover, the signal that the Fed is serious about normalizing interest rates should improve investor confidence about the condition of the economy and reassure those who have been worried about the inflationary risk of an eternal quantitative easing. However, sharp changes in interest-rate expectations remain a risk factor, as they can drive mortgage rates higher, negatively impacting housing activity and weakening this major component of the U.S. economic recovery.

We also believe the U.S. economy can still compensate for a dampened global growth outlook. And we expect economic growth to reaccelerate in the second-half of the year on the heels of continued improvement in the housing and labor markets. In addition, as consumer activity picks up in the spring and summer, there is potential for some lost consumer activity to be recovered later in the year. Overall, we believe these conditions continue to provide a favorable underpinning for the equities markets.

As always, Calvert continues to work hard to ensure you have a say in the responsible management of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors for the companies in which we invest. Below are highlights of our accomplishments during the reporting period.

Shareholder Advocacy

Calvert filed more than 26 shareholder proposals over the reporting period on a variety of issues, including board diversity, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, disclosure of country-level sourcing and human rights risk assessment processes for apparel companies, and sustainability reporting.

After commitments from Pioneer Natural Resources Company and QEP Resources, Calvert has withdrawn one shareholder proposal and decided not to file a second one for the 2014 proxy season. The two companies agreed to improve disclosure and continue engagement regarding key challenges related to hydraulic fracturing, such as water use and emissions reduction. The resulting disclosures will help Calvert and the companies better understand how they are managing these important opportunities and risks.

Also, an effort led by Calvert Investments and other institutional investors drove the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) to announce the launch of a Sustainability Working Group in March to develop a consensus on sustainability reporting. Such a standard would promote greater transparency and fairness in the capital markets, improve cost-efficiencies, promote timeliness and consistency for reporting companies, and equip investors to value companies more accurately and make more informed investment decisions.

During the period, Calvert filed proxy resolutions with all the U.S. publicly traded financial exchanges—CBOE, CME, IntercontinentalExchange Group/NYSE and NASDAQ OMX (NDAQ)—on this issue. However, all resolutions were withdrawn after leadership agreed to join the Working Group. We congratulate these WFE member exchanges for their leadership on investor information transparency.

Calvert was a part of the working group that developed the Shareholder Director Exchange Protocol (SDX) released in February. The protocol addresses the increasing levels of direct engagement between institutional investors, such as activist investors, and public company boards, which can significantly change the dynamic between public companies and investors. Engagement is typically between investors and management, but there is a growing interest on the part of investors and directors for more dialogue, especially when fundamental corporate governance or sustainability issues emerge. The protocol helps lay the basis for productive engagement while addressing common concerns each side may have.

Community Investments

Many of our Funds participate in Calvert’s High Social Impact Investing program, through the CI notes administered through the Calvert Foundation. This community investment program may allocate a small percentage of Fund assets at below-market interest rates to investments that provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.

Through the CI notes’ WIN-WIN portfolio (Women Investing in Women), we recently invested in the Opportunity Fund, the leading microfinance provider in California, which provides microloans for small businesses, microsavings accounts, and community real estate financing. Its innovative repayment system allows clients like Chef Tina Ferguson-Riffe to grow her business with a $20,000 loan for new restaurant equipment and repay the loan based on daily credit/debit card sales, instead of large monthly payments.

In December, the CI notes program invested $1.2 million in One Acre Fund, a nonprofit that provides smallholder farmers in Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi a bundle of services including seed, training, and access to markets. One Acre Fund expects to reach 251,000 farm families in 2014.

Special Equities

A modest but important portion of certain funds is allocated to small private companies developing products or services that address important sustainability or environmental issues facing our society.

One such recent investment, acquired just after the reporting period, was Africa Renewable Energy Fund, which supports small- to medium-scale independent power producers in sub-Saharan Africa with grid-connected, development-stage renewable energy projects, including small hydro, wind, geothermal, solar, biomass and waste gas technologies. Electricity outages continue to be a major problem in many of these countries. This investment will help to address that supply gap in a sustainable manner.

As of March 31, 2014, Calvert Social Investment Foundation (“Calvert Foundation” or “Foundation”) Community Investment Notes represented the following percentages of Fund net assets: Calvert Balanced Portfolio 0.7%, Calvert Equity Portfolio 0.4%, Calvert Bond Portfolio 0.4%, Calvert International Equity Fund 1.2%, Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund 0.4%, and Calvert Small Cap Fund 0.3%. The Calvert Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Foundation’s Community Investment Note Program is not a mutual fund and should not be confused with any Calvert Investments-sponsored investment product.

As of March 31, 2014, the following companies represented the following percentages of Portfolio net assets: Pioneer Natural Resources Company .22% of Calvert Social Index Fund, 1.14% of Calvert Bond Portfolio and .29% of Calvert Balanced Portfolio; QEP Resources .04% of Calvert Social Index Fund, CBOE 0.04% of Calvert Social Index Fund, CME 0.19% of Calvert Social Index Fund, IntercontinentalExchange Group/NYSE 0.18% of Calvert Social Index Fund and 2.46% of Calvert Equity Portfolio, and NASDAQ OMX (NDAQ) 0.03% of Calvert Social Index Fund. Africa Renewable Energy Fund represented 0% of each of Calvert Equity Portfolio and Calvert International Equity Fund. Holdings are subject to change.

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, 2013 to March 31, 2014).

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.

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, foundations, and endowments 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 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 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. At March 31, 2014, $258,973,844 transferred out of Level 1 into Level 2. 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

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


 

appropriate based on assumptions of liquidation or exit risk. Examples of the market approach are subsequent rounds of financing, comparable transactions, and revenue times an industry multiple. An example of the income approach is the discounted cash flow. Examples of the cost approach are replacement cost, salvage value, or net asset percentage. Venture capital limited partnership (“LP”) securities are valued at the fair value reported by the general partner of the partnership adjusted as necessary to reflect subsequent capital calls and distributions and any other available information. In the absence of a reported LP unit value, 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

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


 

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, 2014, securities valued at $8,327,881, or 2.1% 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, 2014:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $111,414,684 $258,973,844** $370,388,528***

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.

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 postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) may also be shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses.

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 39


 

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 AND INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 10, 2013, 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.

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

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


 

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 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 also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Fund. 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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Fund’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Fund and the Advisor. 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 at the median of its peer group for the one-year period ended June 30, 2013. For the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013, the Fund performed below the median of its peer group. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2013, and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s recent improvement in performance and management’s continued monitoring of the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken to address 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

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


 

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 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. 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 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. 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.

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

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


 

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 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, 2013 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 provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to each Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Board noted that 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. In addition, the Board 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Subadvisors. 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 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 invest-

ment 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 to address the Fund’s performance; and (f) the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and Subadvisors, respectively, and the other factors considered. 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.

After a “risk-on” year in 2013, the first quarter of 2014 proved to be a more challenging environment for equities. Concerns about economic growth in emerging markets, geopolitical turmoil in the Ukraine, and somewhat softer macroeconomic data in the United States injected more risk aversion into the markets. At the same time, profit-taking and tempered expectations for a repeat performance of stellar 2013 returns likely drove down investor risk tolerance in the first quarter.

Despite investors taking a more cautious approach toward equities at the start of 2014, the exceptionally strong performance of the equity markets, particularly U.S. equities, in the fourth quarter of 2013 allowed all major global equity indices to finish the six-month reporting period in positive territory. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned 12.51%, 12.48%, 9.94%, 6.56%, and 1.49%, respectively.

From an investment-style perspective, small-cap stocks underperformed their large-cap counterparts, while value stocks outperformed growth stocks. The rotation from expensive growth stocks to more bargain-priced value stocks, if it continues, could suggest a more favorable outlook for higher-quality stocks. Looking at sector performance, Health Care, Information Technology, and Materials were the top-performing sectors within the Russell 1000 Index, while the Telecommunications, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors lagged.

U.S. Economic Recovery Moves Forward, Despite Fed Tapering Talk

Positive fourth-quarter results in the equity markets were driven by several factors, centering on continued U.S. economic recovery and growing investor confidence, thus creating an environment conducive to earnings expansion. These factors explain, in part, why U.S. equities shone so strongly compared with foreign developed and emerging markets. Extreme weather likely held back economic growth in much of the U.S. during the period, but markets found support as investors gained comfort in the view that weaker economic data was more a by-product of inclement weather, rather than reflecting a broader economic slowdown.

The Fed’s decision to begin tapering its quantitative easing (QE) programs in January divided analysts on whether rising interest rates would dampen the economic recovery and create downward pressure on stocks, or whether they would instill confidence that the Fed is being responsible and attract more investors. On the whole, the resiliency and low volatility of interest rates in the wake of Fed tapering was a positive

sign, indicating that—at least for a while—tapering need not produce the kind of jump in interest rates many analysts had feared.

Consumers Play a Key Role in Recovery

Although market analysts have focused largely on what is happening at the Federal Reserve, we believe an important driver of economic activity in the United States, and of Fed policy by extension, is the continued improvement in the health of the consumer balance sheet. This gives consumers better access to consumer loans and mortgages, supporting the continued recovery of the housing and automotive industries, among others. At the same time, initial jobless claims maintained their downward trend throughout the period. Continued improvements in the labor market should support consumer spending and the U.S. housing sector—keys to the success of the U.S. economic recovery.

An Anemic Europe and Sluggish China Worry Investors

A global backdrop of lower-than-target inflation persisted throughout the period, despite continued aggressive easing actions by the world’s largest central banks. There are several drivers contributing to low inflation we believe are likely to persist in the near-term. For

example, anemic economic activity in Europe continued to highlight the threat of deflation, as inflation in the eurozone dipped below 1% during the period. While European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi indicated a willingness to intervene if further downside risks to price stability materialize, there appear to be few catalysts capable of driving an increase in demand-side inflation since the euro area’s economic recovery has remained tepid.

Worries about a hard landing in China returned to the forefront of investor concerns as the China HSBC Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) steadily declined throughout the period into contraction territory. Meanwhile, political upheaval in the Ukraine, which culminated with Russian forces occupying the Crimea region, injected further risk aversion into investor sentiment. The situation continued to negatively impact emerging-market stocks and currencies, which were already under pressure due to the prospect of slower GDP growth in emerging markets. We expect the Ukraine situation to be a continued source of headline market risk in the near-term, until a final diplomatic solution is reached.

Outlook

The contrast in economic conditions between the United States and both Europe and China (and other emerging markets) should continue to draw more investment to the U.S. in the near-term. Fed tapering will most likely add to this effect in equities as well as other asset classes. We expect the dollar to continue strengthening slowly, which may provide another reason for foreign investors to favor U.S. securities over those in their domestic markets. This also supports our outlook for continued low inflation in the near-term.

The recovery may still feel “sluggish” because the current 6.7% unemployment rate—while down from a recession peak of 10%—is still running higher than in previous expansions. From the perspective of equity investors, however, higher unemployment is likely keep downward pressure on wages, which, in turn, could help strengthen profit margins.

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%, 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 1.48%. 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.

We think the Fed will be particularly careful not to derail economic expansion, especially as long as inflation remains low, and will do so by carefully telegraphing its position and plans as they evolve. Moreover, the signal that the Fed is serious about normalizing interest rates should improve investor confidence about the condition of the economy and reassure those who have been worried about the inflationary risk of an eternal quantitative easing. However, sharp changes in interest-rate expectations remain a risk factor, as they can drive mortgage rates higher, negatively impacting housing activity and weakening this major component of the U.S. economic recovery.

We also believe the U.S. economy can still compensate for a dampened global growth outlook. And we expect economic growth to reaccelerate in the second-half of the year on the heels of continued improvement in the housing and labor markets. In addition, as consumer activity picks up in the spring and summer, there is potential for some lost consumer activity to be recovered later in the year. Overall, we believe these conditions continue to provide a favorable underpinning for the equities markets.

As always, Calvert continues to work hard to ensure you have a say in the responsible management of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors for the companies in which we invest. Below are highlights of our accomplishments during the reporting period.

Shareholder Advocacy

Calvert filed more than 26 shareholder proposals over the reporting period on a variety of issues, including board diversity, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, disclosure of country-level sourcing and human rights risk assessment processes for apparel companies, and sustainability reporting.

After commitments from Pioneer Natural Resources Company and QEP Resources, Calvert has withdrawn one shareholder proposal and decided not to file a second one for the 2014 proxy season. The two companies agreed to improve disclosure and continue engagement regarding key challenges related to hydraulic fracturing, such as water use and emissions reduction. The resulting disclosures will help Calvert and the companies better understand how they are managing these important opportunities and risks.

Also, an effort led by Calvert Investments and other institutional investors drove the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) to announce the launch of a Sustainability Working Group in March to develop a consensus on sustainability reporting. Such a standard would promote greater transparency and fairness in the capital markets, improve cost-efficiencies, promote timeliness and consistency for reporting companies, and equip investors to value companies more accurately and make more informed investment decisions.

During the period, Calvert filed proxy resolutions with all the U.S. publicly traded financial exchanges—CBOE, CME, IntercontinentalExchange Group/NYSE and NASDAQ OMX (NDAQ)—on this issue. However, all resolutions were withdrawn after leadership agreed to join the Working Group. We congratulate these WFE member exchanges for their leadership on investor information transparency.

Calvert was a part of the working group that developed the Shareholder Director Exchange Protocol (SDX) released in February. The protocol addresses the increasing levels of direct engagement between institutional investors, such as activist investors, and public company boards, which can significantly change the dynamic between public companies and investors. Engagement is typically between investors and management, but there is a growing interest on the part of investors and directors for more dialogue, especially when fundamental corporate governance or sustainability issues emerge. The protocol helps lay the basis for productive engagement while addressing common concerns each side may have.

Community Investments

Many of our Funds participate in Calvert’s High Social Impact Investing program, through the CI notes administered through the Calvert Foundation. This community investment program may allocate a small percentage of Fund assets at below-market interest rates to investments that provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.

Through the CI notes’ WIN-WIN portfolio (Women Investing in Women), we recently invested in the Opportunity Fund, the leading microfinance provider in California, which provides microloans for small businesses, microsavings accounts, and community real estate financing. Its innovative repayment system allows clients like Chef Tina Ferguson-Riffe to grow her business with a $20,000 loan for new restaurant equipment and repay the loan based on daily credit/debit card sales, instead of large monthly payments.

In December, the CI notes program invested $1.2 million in One Acre Fund, a nonprofit that provides smallholder farmers in Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi a bundle of services including seed, training, and access to markets. One Acre Fund expects to reach 251,000 farm families in 2014.

Special Equities

A modest but important portion of certain funds is allocated to small private companies developing products or services that address important sustainability or environmental issues facing our society.

One such recent investment, acquired just after the reporting period, was Africa Renewable Energy Fund, which supports small- to medium-scale independent power producers in sub-Saharan Africa with grid-connected, development-stage renewable energy projects, including small hydro, wind, geothermal, solar, biomass and waste gas technologies. Electricity outages continue to be a major problem in many of these countries. This investment will help to address that supply gap in a sustainable manner.

As of March 31, 2014, Calvert Social Investment Foundation (“Calvert Foundation” or “Foundation”) Community Investment Notes represented the following percentages of Fund net assets: Calvert Balanced Portfolio 0.7%, Calvert Equity Portfolio 0.4%, Calvert Bond Portfolio 0.4%, Calvert International Equity Fund 1.2%, Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund 0.4%, and Calvert Small Cap Fund 0.3%. The Calvert Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Foundation’s Community Investment Note Program is not a mutual fund and should not be confused with any Calvert Investments-sponsored investment product.

As of March 31, 2014, the following companies represented the following percentages of Portfolio net assets: Pioneer Natural Resources Company .22% of Calvert Social Index Fund, 1.14% of Calvert Bond Portfolio and .29% of Calvert Balanced Portfolio; QEP Resources .04% of Calvert Social Index Fund, CBOE 0.04% of Calvert Social Index Fund, CME 0.19% of Calvert Social Index Fund, IntercontinentalExchange Group/NYSE 0.18% of Calvert Social Index Fund and 2.46% of Calvert Equity Portfolio, and NASDAQ OMX (NDAQ) 0.03% of Calvert Social Index Fund. Africa Renewable Energy Fund represented 0% of each of Calvert Equity Portfolio and Calvert International Equity Fund. Holdings are subject to change.

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, 2013 to March 31, 2014).

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, foundations, and endowments 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 ratifica-

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


 

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 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. There were no such transfers 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.

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


 

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.

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, 2014, securities valued at $1,410,529, or 0.4% 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, 2014:

    VALUATION INPUTS  

INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES

LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $398,874,230  — $398,874,230
Other debt obligations $9,226,062  — 9,226,062
TOTAL $398,874,230 $9,226,062  — $408,100,292

 

* 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.

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


 

Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost 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.

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.

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) may also be 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

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


 

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 AND INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 10, 2013, 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.

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

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


 

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 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 also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Fund. 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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Fund’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Fund and the Advisor. 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 below the median of its peer group for the one- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. For the three-year period ended June 30, 2013, the Fund performed above the median of its peer group. The data also indicated that the Fund underperformed its Lipper index for the one- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013, and outperformed its Lipper index for the three-year period ended June 30, 2013. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance and management’s continuing monitoring of the Fund’s performance. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that appropriate action was being taken to address 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 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

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


 

providing the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor. 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 services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses. The Board also took into account 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 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 provided 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 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

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


 

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, 2013 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 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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 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) appropriate action is being taken to address the Fund’s performance; and (f) the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and Subadvisor, respectively, and the other factors considered. 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.

After a “risk-on” year in 2013, the first quarter of 2014 proved to be a more challenging environment for equities. Concerns about economic growth in emerging markets, geopolitical turmoil in the Ukraine, and somewhat softer macroeconomic data in the United States injected more risk aversion into the markets. At the same time, profit-taking and tempered expectations for a repeat performance of stellar 2013 returns likely drove down investor risk tolerance in the first quarter.

Despite investors taking a more cautious approach toward equities at the start of 2014, the exceptionally strong performance of the equity markets, particularly U.S. equities, in the fourth quarter of 2013 allowed all major global equity indices to finish the six-month reporting period in positive territory. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned 12.51%, 12.48%, 9.94%, 6.56%, and 1.49%, respectively.

From an investment-style perspective, small-cap stocks underperformed their large-cap counterparts, while value stocks outperformed growth stocks. The rotation from expensive growth stocks to more bargain-priced value stocks, if it continues, could suggest a more favorable outlook for higher-quality stocks. Looking at sector performance, Health Care, Information Technology, and Materials were the top-performing sectors within the Russell 1000 Index, while the Telecommunications, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors lagged.

U.S. Economic Recovery Moves Forward, Despite Fed Tapering Talk

Positive fourth-quarter results in the equity markets were driven by several factors, centering on continued U.S. economic recovery and growing investor confidence, thus creating an environment conducive to earnings expansion. These factors explain, in part, why U.S. equities shone so strongly compared with foreign developed and emerging markets. Extreme weather likely held back economic growth in much of the U.S. during the period, but markets found support as investors gained comfort in the view that weaker economic data was more a by-product of inclement weather, rather than reflecting a broader economic slowdown.

The Fed’s decision to begin tapering its quantitative easing (QE) programs in January divided analysts on whether rising interest rates would dampen the economic recovery and create downward pressure on stocks, or whether they would instill confidence that the Fed is being responsible and attract more investors. On the whole, the resiliency and low volatility of interest rates in the wake of Fed tapering was a

positive sign, indicating that—at least for a while—tapering need not produce the kind of jump in interest rates many analysts had feared.

Consumers Play a Key Role in Recovery

Although market analysts have focused largely on what is happening at the Federal Reserve, we believe an important driver of economic activity in the United States, and of Fed policy by extension, is the continued improvement in the health of the consumer balance sheet. This gives consumers better access to consumer loans and mortgages, supporting the continued recovery of the housing and automotive industries, among others. At the same time, initial jobless claims maintained their downward trend throughout the period. Continued improvements in the labor market should support consumer spending and the U.S. housing sector—keys to the success of the U.S. economic recovery.

An Anemic Europe and Sluggish China Worry Investors

A global backdrop of lower-than-target inflation persisted throughout the period, despite continued aggressive easing actions by the world’s largest central banks. There are several drivers contributing to low inflation we believe are likely to persist in the near-term. For example, anemic economic activity in Europe continued to highlight the threat of deflation, as inflation in the eurozone dipped below 1% during the period. While European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi indicated a willingness to intervene if further downside risks to price stability materialize, there appear to be few catalysts capable of driving an increase in demand-side inflation since the euro area’s economic recovery has remained tepid.

Worries about a hard landing in China returned to the forefront of investor concerns as the China HSBC Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) steadily declined throughout the period into contraction territory. Meanwhile, political upheaval in the Ukraine, which culminated with Russian forces occupying the Crimea region, injected further risk aversion into investor sentiment. The situation continued to negatively impact emerging-market stocks and currencies, which were already under pressure due to the prospect of slower GDP growth in emerging markets. We expect the Ukraine situation to be a continued source of headline market risk in the near-term, until a final diplomatic solution is reached.

Outlook

The contrast in economic conditions between the United States and both Europe and China (and other emerging markets) should continue to draw more investment to the U.S. in the near-term. Fed tapering will most likely add to this effect in equities as well as other asset classes. We expect the dollar to continue strengthening slowly, which may provide another reason for foreign investors to favor U.S. securities over those in their domestic markets. This also supports our outlook for continued low inflation in the near-term.

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 2.03%. 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.

The recovery may still feel “sluggish” because the current 6.7% unemployment rate—while down from a recession peak of 10%—is still running higher than in previous expansions. From the perspective of equity investors, however, higher unemployment is likely keep downward pressure on wages, which, in turn, could help strengthen profit margins.

We think the Fed will be particularly careful not to derail economic expansion, especially as long as inflation remains low, and will do so by carefully telegraphing its position and plans as they evolve. Moreover, the signal that the Fed is serious about normalizing interest rates should improve investor confidence about the condition of the economy and reassure those who have been worried about the inflationary risk of an eternal quantitative easing. However, sharp changes in interest-rate expectations remain a risk factor, as they can drive mortgage rates higher, negatively impacting housing activity and weakening this major component of the U.S. economic recovery.

We also believe the U.S. economy can still compensate for a dampened global growth outlook. And we expect economic growth to reaccelerate in the second-half of the year on the heels of continued improvement in the housing and labor markets. In addition, as consumer activity picks up in the spring and summer, there is potential for some lost consumer activity to be recovered later in the year. Overall, we believe these conditions continue to provide a favorable underpinning for the equities markets.

As always, Calvert continues to work hard to ensure you have a say in the responsible management of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors for the companies in which we invest. Below are highlights of our accomplishments during the reporting period.

Shareholder Advocacy

Calvert filed more than 26 shareholder proposals over the reporting period on a variety of issues, including board diversity, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, disclosure of country-level sourcing and human rights risk assessment processes for apparel companies, and sustainability reporting.

After commitments from Pioneer Natural Resources Company and QEP Resources, Calvert has withdrawn one shareholder proposal and decided not to file a second one for the 2014 proxy season. The two companies agreed to improve disclosure and continue engagement regarding key challenges related to hydraulic fracturing, such as water use and emissions reduction. The resulting disclosures will help Calvert and the companies better understand how they are managing these important opportunities and risks.

Also, an effort led by Calvert Investments and other institutional investors drove the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) to announce the launch of a Sustainability Working Group in March to develop a consensus on sustainability reporting. Such a standard would promote greater transparency and fairness in the capital markets, improve cost-efficiencies, promote timeliness and consistency for reporting companies, and equip investors to value companies more accurately and make more informed investment decisions.

During the period, Calvert filed proxy resolutions with all the U.S. publicly traded financial exchanges—CBOE, CME, IntercontinentalExchange Group/NYSE and NASDAQ OMX (NDAQ)—on this issue. However, all resolutions were withdrawn after leadership agreed to join the Working Group. We congratulate these WFE member exchanges for their leadership on investor information transparency.

Calvert was a part of the working group that developed the Shareholder Director Exchange Protocol (SDX) released in February. The protocol addresses the increasing levels of direct engagement between institutional investors, such as activist investors, and public company boards, which can significantly change the dynamic between public companies and investors. Engagement is typically between investors and management, but there is a growing interest on the part of investors and directors for more dialogue, especially when fundamental corporate governance or sustainability issues emerge. The protocol helps lay the basis for productive engagement while addressing common concerns each side may have.

Community Investments

Many of our Funds participate in Calvert’s High Social Impact Investing program, through the CI notes administered through the Calvert Foundation. This community investment program may allocate a small percentage of Fund assets at below-market interest rates to investments that provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.

Through the CI notes’ WIN-WIN portfolio (Women Investing in Women), we recently invested in the Opportunity Fund, the leading microfinance provider in California, which provides microloans for small businesses, microsavings accounts, and community real estate financing. Its innovative repayment system allows clients like Chef Tina Ferguson-Riffe to grow her business with a $20,000 loan for new restaurant equipment and repay the loan based on daily credit/debit card sales, instead of large monthly payments.

In December, the CI notes program invested $1.2 million in One Acre Fund, a nonprofit that provides smallholder farmers in Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi a bundle of services including seed, training, and access to markets. One Acre Fund expects to reach 251,000 farm families in 2014.

Special Equities

A modest but important portion of certain funds is allocated to small private companies developing products or services that address important sustainability or environmental issues facing our society.

One such recent investment, acquired just after the reporting period, was Africa Renewable Energy Fund, which supports small- to medium-scale independent power producers in sub-Saharan Africa with grid-connected, development-stage renewable energy projects, including small hydro, wind, geothermal, solar, biomass and waste gas technologies. Electricity outages continue to be a major problem in many of these countries. This investment will help to address that supply gap in a sustainable manner.

As of March 31, 2014, Calvert Social Investment Foundation (“Calvert Foundation” or “Foundation”) Community Investment Notes represented the following percentages of Fund net assets: Calvert Balanced Portfolio 0.7%, Calvert Equity Portfolio 0.4%, Calvert Bond Portfolio 0.4%, Calvert International Equity Fund 1.2%, Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund 0.4%, and Calvert Small Cap Fund 0.3%. The Calvert Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Foundation’s Community Investment Note Program is not a mutual fund and should not be confused with any Calvert Investments-sponsored investment product.

As of March 31, 2014, the following companies represented the following percentages of Portfolio net assets: Pioneer Natural Resources Company .22% of Calvert Social Index Fund, 1.14% of Calvert Bond Portfolio and .29% of Calvert Balanced Portfolio; QEP Resources .04% of Calvert Social Index Fund, CBOE 0.04% of Calvert Social Index Fund, CME 0.19% of Calvert Social Index Fund, IntercontinentalExchange Group/NYSE 0.18% of Calvert Social Index Fund and 2.46% of Calvert Equity Portfolio, and NASDAQ OMX (NDAQ) 0.03% of Calvert Social Index Fund. Africa Renewable Energy Fund represented 0% of each of Calvert Equity Portfolio and Calvert International Equity Fund. Holdings are subject to change.

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, 2013 to March 31, 2014).

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, foundations, and endowments 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.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hier-

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


 

archy 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. At March 31, 2014, $91,233,359 transferred out of Level 1 into Level 2. 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.

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.

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


 

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, 2014, 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, 2014:

    VALUATION INPUTS  
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $2,814,646 $91,233,359**  — $94,048,005
Other debt obligations 4,944,188  — 4,944,188
TOTAL $2,814,646 $96,177,547  — $98,992,193

 

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

** Includes certain securities trading primarily outside the U.S. whose value was adjusted as a result of significant market movements following the close of local trading. On March 31, 2014, price movements exceeded specified parameters and the third party fair value pricing service quantitatively fair valued the affected securities.

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 connec-

www.calvert.com CALVERT INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23


 

tion 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.

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 postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) may

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


 

also be 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 AND INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 10, 2013, 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.

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

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


 

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 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 also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Fund. 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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Fund’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Fund and the Advisor. 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 universe by an independent third party in its report. This comparison indicated that the Fund performed above the median of its peer universe for the one-year period ended June 30, 2013 and at the median of its peer universe for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed its Lipper index for the one-year period ended June 30, 2013 and underperformed its Lipper index for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2013. 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 performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant indices.

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

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


 

(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 noted that the Advisor had agreed to reduce the advisory fee it charged to the Fund. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s current undertaking to maintain expense limitations for the Fund and that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses. 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. 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 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 and that the Advisor and one of its affiliates had agreed to reduce the advisory and administrative fees they charged to the Fund, respectively. 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 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.

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.

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


 

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 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, 2013 as compared to the Fund’s peer universe 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 provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to each Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Board noted that 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. The Board took into consideration the fees Trilogy Global Advisors, LP charges to 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 in view of the quality of the services received by the Fund from the Subadvisors. 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 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 subad-visory fees are reasonable in view of the services received by the Fund from the Advisor and Subadvisors. 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.

After a “risk-on” year in 2013, the first quarter of 2014 proved to be a more challenging environment for equities. Concerns about economic growth in emerging markets, geopolitical turmoil in the Ukraine, and somewhat softer macroeconomic data in the United States injected more risk aversion into the markets. At the same time, profit-taking and tempered expectations for a repeat performance of stellar 2013 returns likely drove down investor risk tolerance in the first quarter.

Despite investors taking a more cautious approach toward equities at the start of 2014, the exceptionally strong performance of the equity markets, particularly U.S. equities, in the fourth quarter of 2013 allowed all major global equity indices to finish the six-month reporting period in positive territory. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned 12.51%, 12.48%, 9.94%, 6.56%, and 1.49%, respectively.

From an investment-style perspective, small-cap stocks underperformed their large-cap counterparts, while value stocks outperformed growth stocks. The rotation from expensive growth stocks to more bargain-priced value stocks, if it continues, could suggest a more favorable outlook for higher-quality stocks. Looking at sector performance, Health Care, Information Technology, and Materials were the top-performing sectors within the Russell 1000 Index, while the Telecommunications, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors lagged.

U.S. Economic Recovery Moves Forward, Despite Fed Tapering Talk

Positive fourth-quarter results in the equity markets were driven by several factors, centering on continued U.S. economic recovery and growing investor confidence, thus creating an environment conducive to earnings expansion. These factors explain, in part, why U.S. equities shone so strongly compared with foreign developed and emerging markets. Extreme weather likely held back economic growth in much of the U.S. during the period, but markets found support as investors gained comfort in the view that weaker economic data was more a by-product of inclement weather, rather than reflecting a broader economic slowdown.

The Fed’s decision to begin tapering its quantitative easing (QE) programs in January divided analysts on whether rising interest rates would dampen the economic recovery and create downward pressure on stocks, or whether they would instill confidence that the Fed is being responsible and attract more investors. On the whole, the resiliency and low volatility of interest rates in the wake of Fed tapering was a positive

Consumers Play a Key Role in Recovery

Although market analysts have focused largely on what is happening at the Federal Reserve, we believe an important driver of economic activity in the United States, and of Fed policy by extension, is the continued improvement in the health of the consumer balance sheet. This gives consumers better access to consumer loans and mortgages, supporting the continued recovery of the housing and automotive industries, among others. At the same time, initial jobless claims maintained their downward trend throughout the period. Continued improvements in the labor market should support consumer spending and the U.S. housing sector—keys to the success of the U.S. economic recovery.

An Anemic Europe and Sluggish China Worry Investors

A global backdrop of lower-than-target inflation persisted throughout the period, despite continued aggressive easing actions by the world’s largest central banks. There are several drivers contributing to low inflation we believe are likely to persist in the near-term. For example, anemic economic activity in Europe continued to highlight the threat of deflation, as inflation in the eurozone dipped below 1% during the period. While European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi indicated a willingness to intervene if further downside risks to price stability materialize, there appear to be few catalysts capable of driving an increase in demand-side inflation since the euro area’s economic recovery has remained tepid.

Worries about a hard landing in China returned to the forefront of investor concerns as the China HSBC Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) steadily declined throughout the period into contraction territory. Meanwhile, political upheaval in the Ukraine, which culminated with Russian forces occupying the Crimea region, injected further risk aversion into investor sentiment. The situation continued to negatively impact emerging-market stocks and currencies, which were already under pressure due to the prospect of slower GDP growth in emerging markets. We expect the Ukraine situation to be a continued source of headline market risk in the near-term, until a final diplomatic solution is reached.

Outlook

The contrast in economic conditions between the United States and both Europe and China (and other emerging markets) should continue to draw more investment to the U.S. in the near-term. Fed tapering will most likely add to this effect in equities as well as other asset classes. We expect the dollar to continue strengthening slowly, which may provide another reason for foreign investors to favor U.S. securities over those in their domestic markets. This also supports our outlook for continued low inflation in the near-term.

The recovery may still feel “sluggish” because the current 6.7% unemployment rate—while down from a recession peak of 10%—is still running higher than in previous expansions. From the perspective of equity investors, however, higher unemployment is likely keep downward pressure on wages, which, in turn, could help strengthen profit margins.

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.


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 3.03%. 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.

We think the Fed will be particularly careful not to derail economic expansion, especially as long as inflation remains low, and will do so by carefully telegraphing its position and plans as they evolve. Moreover, the signal that the Fed is serious about normalizing interest rates should improve investor confidence about the condition of the economy and reassure those who have been worried about the inflationary risk of an eternal quantitative easing. However, sharp changes in interest-rate expectations remain a risk factor, as they can drive mortgage rates higher, negatively impacting housing activity and weakening this major component of the U.S. economic recovery.

We also believe the U.S. economy can still compensate for a dampened global growth outlook. And we expect economic growth to reaccelerate in the second-half of the year on the heels of continued improvement in the housing and labor markets. In addition, as consumer activity picks up in the spring and summer, there is potential for some lost consumer activity to be recovered later in the year. Overall, we believe these conditions continue to provide a favorable underpinning for the equities markets.

As always, Calvert continues to work hard to ensure you have a say in the responsible management of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors for the companies in which we invest. Below are highlights of our accomplishments during the reporting period.

Shareholder Advocacy

Calvert filed more than 26 shareholder proposals over the reporting period on a variety of issues, including board diversity, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, disclosure of country-level sourcing and human rights risk assessment processes for apparel companies, and sustainability reporting.

After commitments from Pioneer Natural Resources Company and QEP Resources, Calvert has withdrawn one shareholder proposal and decided not to file a second one for the 2014 proxy season. The two companies agreed to improve disclosure and continue engagement regarding key challenges related to hydraulic fracturing, such as water use and emissions reduction. The resulting disclosures will help Calvert and the companies better understand how they are managing these important opportunities and risks.

Also, an effort led by Calvert Investments and other institutional investors drove the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE) to announce the launch of a Sustainability Working Group in March to develop a consensus on sustainability reporting. Such a standard would promote greater transparency and fairness in the capital markets, improve cost-efficiencies, promote timeliness and consistency for reporting companies, and equip investors to value companies more accurately and make more informed investment decisions.

During the period, Calvert filed proxy resolutions with all the U.S. publicly traded financial exchanges—CBOE, CME, IntercontinentalExchange Group/NYSE and NASDAQ OMX (NDAQ)—on this issue. However, all resolutions were withdrawn after leadership agreed to join the Working Group. We congratulate these WFE member exchanges for their leadership on investor information transparency.

Calvert was a part of the working group that developed the Shareholder Director Exchange Protocol (SDX) released in February. The protocol addresses the increasing levels of direct engagement between institutional investors, such as activist investors, and public company boards, which can significantly change the dynamic between public companies and investors. Engagement is typically between investors and management, but there is a growing interest on the part of investors and directors for more dialogue, especially when fundamental corporate governance or sustainability issues emerge. The protocol helps lay the basis for productive engagement while addressing common concerns each side may have.

Community Investments

Many of our Funds participate in Calvert’s High Social Impact Investing program, through the CI notes administered through the Calvert Foundation. This community investment program may allocate a small percentage of Fund assets at below-market interest rates to investments that provide economic opportunity for struggling populations.

Through the CI notes’ WIN-WIN portfolio (Women Investing in Women), we recently invested in the Opportunity Fund, the leading microfinance provider in California, which provides microloans for small businesses, microsavings accounts, and community real estate financing. Its innovative repayment system allows clients like Chef Tina Ferguson-Riffe to grow her business with a $20,000 loan for new restaurant equipment and repay the loan based on daily credit/debit card sales, instead of large monthly payments.

In December, the CI notes program invested $1.2 million in One Acre Fund, a nonprofit that provides smallholder farmers in Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi a bundle of services including seed, training, and access to markets. One Acre Fund expects to reach 251,000 farm families in 2014.

Special Equities

A modest but important portion of certain funds is allocated to small private companies developing products or services that address important sustainability or environmental issues facing our society.

One such recent investment, acquired just after the reporting period, was Africa Renewable Energy Fund, which supports small- to medium-scale independent power producers in sub-Saharan Africa with grid-connected, development-stage renewable energy projects, including small hydro, wind, geothermal, solar, biomass and waste gas technologies. Electricity outages continue to be a major problem in many of these countries. This investment will help to address that supply gap in a sustainable manner.

As of March 31, 2014, Calvert Social Investment Foundation (“Calvert Foundation” or “Foundation”) Community Investment Notes represented the following percentages of Fund net assets: Calvert Balanced Portfolio 0.7%, Calvert Equity Portfolio 0.4%, Calvert Bond Portfolio 0.4%, Calvert International Equity Fund 1.2%, Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund 0.4%, and Calvert Small Cap Fund 0.3%. The Calvert Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Foundation’s Community Investment Note Program is not a mutual fund and should not be confused with any Calvert Investments-sponsored investment product.

As of March 31, 2014, the following companies represented the following percentages of Portfolios’ net assets: Pioneer Natural Resources Company .22% of Calvert Social Index Fund, 1.14% of Calvert Bond Portfolio and .29% of Calvert Balanced Portfolio; QEP Resources .04% of Calvert Social Index Fund, CBOE 0.04% of Calvert Social Index Fund, CME 0.19% of Calvert Social Index Fund, IntercontinentalExchange Group/NYSE 0.18% of Calvert Social Index Fund and 2.46% of Calvert Equity Portfolio, and NASDAQ OMX (NDAQ) 0.03% of Calvert Social Index Fund. Africa Renewable Energy Fund represented 0% of each of Calvert Equity Portfolio and Calvert International Equity Fund. Holdings are subject to change.

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, 2013 to March 31, 2014).

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, foundations, and endowments 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.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Fund’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a dis-

closure 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. At March 31, 2014, $33,888,992 transferred out of Level 1 into Level 2. 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.

Participatory notes are valued based on the value of the underlying equity security as determined using the valuation techniques for equity securities listed above. Participatory notes are 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.

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.

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, 2014, securities valued at $2,229,352, or 4.0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

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

** Includes certain securities trading primarily outside the U.S. whose value was adjusted as a result of significant market movements following the close of local trading. On March 31, 2014, price movements exceeded specified parameters and the third party fair value pricing service quantitatively fair valued the affected securities.

Participatory Notes: The Fund may gain exposure to securities in certain foreign markets through investments in participatory notes (“P-notes”), especially in markets where direct investment by the Fund is not possible. P-notes are generally issued by a bank or broker-dealer (the “counterparty”) and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying equity security. While the holder of a P-note is entitled to receive from the counterparty any dividends paid by the underlying security, the counterparty retains legal ownership and voting rights of the underlying security. The risks associated with investing in a P-note may include the possible failure of the counterparty to perform its obligations under the terms of the agreement, an inability to liquidate or transfer the notes, and an imperfect correlation between the value of the P-note and the underlying security.

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23


 

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.

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 postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) may

www.calvert.com CALVERT EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31


 

also be 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 AND INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on December 10, 2013, 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 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.

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.

www.calvert.com CALVERT EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 33


 

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 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 also took into account the environmental, social, sustainability and governance research and analysis provided by the Advisor to the Fund. 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 took into consideration, among other factors, the effectiveness of the Fund’s and Advisor’s processes, policies and procedures and the Advisor’s personnel. The Board also took into account, among other items, periodic reports received from the Advisor over the past year concerning the Advisor’s ongoing review and enhancement of certain processes, policies and procedures of the Fund and the Advisor. 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 passive benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group, the Lipper Emerging Markets category. This comparison indicated that the Fund outperformed its passive benchmark since the Fund’s inception in October 2012 through June 30, 2013. The data also indicated that the Fund outperformed the average of the funds in its Lipper category over that same period. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and to a relevant index.

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 above the median of its peer group and that total expenses (net of waivers and/or reimbursements) were at 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 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. 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 services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor had reimbursed a portion of the Fund’s expenses. The Board also took into account 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 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 provided 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 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 since the Fund’s inception in October 2012 through June 30, 2013 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 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 in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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 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 a relevant index; and (f) the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in view of the quality of services received by the Fund from the Advisor and Subadvisor and the other factors considered. 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.
