Investment Objective

The Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio focuses on small, rapidly growing and under-researched companies whose securities, in the Subadvisor's opinion, are trading at reasonable prices. The Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities, such as common or preferred stocks, of small capitalization companies listed on U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. over-the-counter market. The Portfolio considers a small capitalization company to have a market capitalization within the range of companies in the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

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 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. Prices of small cap stocks can be more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. Small cap companies are more likely to have more limited product lines, fewer capital resources and less depth of management than larger companies.

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.
