Investment Objective

The Portfolio seeks investment results that correspond to the total return performance of the bond market, as represented by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio offers opportunities for long-term growth of capital through investments in large-cap company equity securities that the portfolio manager believes are undervalued. The Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in the common stocks of large-cap companies, as defined by those within the range of market capitalizations of the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Advisor seeks to identify common stocks of companies it believes are significantly undervalued compared to their perceived worth or prospects, historical valuations or the general market level of valuation. The Advisor primarily uses a bottom-up approach focused on fundamental analysis of issuers in a number of different sectors and industries, in light of the issuers' current financial condition and industry position, as well as market, economic, political and regulatory conditions. The Portfolio has threshold responsibility standards with respect to tobacco, weapons and human rights, which it applies in determining whether a security qualifies for investment.

Investment Risk

Investment in mutual funds involves risk, including possible loss of principal invested. You could lose money on your investment in the Portfolio or the Portfolio could underperform because of the following risks: the stock market may fall in value, causing the prices of stocks held by the Portfolio to fall; individual investments of the Portfolio may not perform as expected; and/or the Portfolio’s portfolio management practices may not achieve the desired result. The Portfolio's value-oriented investing approach may fall out of favor with investors from time to time, during which the Portfolio may underperform other funds using different investment approaches. In addition, the market may not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time, or a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced, and it may not appreciate as anticipated. Large-cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. 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 higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Index reflects no deductions for fees or expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Visit www.calvert.com to obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. The performance does not reflect fees and charges imposed under the variable annuity and life insurance contracts through which an investment may be made. If these fees and charges were included, they would reduce these returns.

Standard Deviation is a measure of a fund's risk. A standard deviation of 1 means a fund can be expected to produce an annual return that is +/-1% of its average annual return 66% of the time.
Alpha is a measure of the difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta.
Beta is a measure of portfolio risk relative to the market or benchmark. A portfolio beta of 1.0 indicates a risk level equal to that of the fund's benchmark.
Excess Return is return in excess of the risk-free rate or in excess of a benchmark.
R Squared is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund's movements that can be explained by movements in its benchmark index.
Tracking Error is the difference in the return earned by a portfolio and the return earned by the benchmark against which the portfolio is constructed.
Information Ratio is a measure of the consistency of excess return of a mutual fund as compared to its benchmark.
Sharpe Ratio is used to measure risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by using standard deviation and return in excess of the benchmark to determine reward per unit of risk.

Important Disclosure

Net expense ratio reflects contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement through April 30, 2014.
