(2) Security was acquired in connection with a restructuring of a Senior Loan and may be subject to restrictions on resale.
(3) Security is valued using significant unobservable inputs and is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
(4) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be sold in certain transactions in reliance on an exemption from registration (normally to qualified institutional buyers). At March 31, 2025, the aggregate value of these securities is $6,120,679 or 6.5% of the Fund's net assets.
(5) Senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will typically have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the "Prime Rate"). Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or minimum rate. Rates for SOFR are generally 1 or 3-month tenors and may also be subject to a credit spread adjustment. Senior Loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before they can be bought or sold.
(6) This Senior Loan will settle after March 31, 2025, at which time the interest rate will be determined.
(7) The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at March 31, 2025 of contracts within the senior loan facility. Interest rates on contracts are primarily redetermined either monthly or quarterly by reference to the indicated base lending rate and spread and the reset period.
(8) Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. The stated interest rate reflects the weighted average of the reference rate and spread for the funded portion, if any, and the commitment fees on the portion of the loan that is unfunded. At March 31, 2025, the total value of unfunded loan commitments is $120,596. See Note 1E for description.
(9) Fixed-rate loan.
(10) May be deemed to be an affiliated investment company (see Note 6). The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of March 31, 2025.

Floating-Rate Advantage Fund
March 31, 2025
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Floating-Rate Advantage Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Management Series (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund invests primarily in senior floating-rate loans of domestic and foreign borrowers.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 0.75% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies(ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment Valuation- Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (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 by the
Board's valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities.Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Debt Securities. Debt securities are generally valued based on valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services' pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. Accordingly, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than sixty days are valued based on valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Senior Floating-Rate Loans.Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities.Exchange-traded 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. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation.In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund's investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security's "fair value", which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities,

quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company's or entity's financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of March 31, 2025, based on the inputs used to value them:

Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the six months ended March 31, 2025 is not presented.
B Investment Transactions and Income- Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. The Fund may earn certain fees in connection with its investments in senior floating-rate loans. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, consent fees and prepayment fees, which are recorded to income as earned.
C Share Class Accounting- Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class's paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares.
D Senior Floating Rate Loans- The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund's investment in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the lender) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of such payments by the lender from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is issuing the participation interest.
E Unfunded Loan Commitments- The Fund may enter into certain loan agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower's discretion. The commitments, if any, are disclosed in the accompanying Schedule of Investments. At March 31, 2025, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
F Distributions to Shareholders- Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. The Fund declares income distributions daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration and generally pays them monthly. The Fund makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
G Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications- Under the Trust's organizational document, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and provides that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders or former shareholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
I Federal Income Taxes- No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
J Segment Reporting- During this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures(ASU 2023-07), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity's reportable segments. The Fund operates as a single reportable segment, an investment company whose investment objective is included in Note 1. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2023-07, the Fund's President acts as the Fund's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is responsible for assessing the performance of the Fund's single segment and deciding how to allocate the segment's resources. To perform this function, the CODM reviews the information in the Fund's financial statements.
K Interim Financial Statements- The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2025 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund's average daily gross assets as follows and is payable monthly:
Average Daily Gross Assets Annual Fee
Rate
Up to and including $1 billion 0.480%
In excess of $1 billion 0.430%
Gross assets of the Fund are calculated by deducting all liabilities of the Fund except the principal amount of any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the investment advisory fee amounted to $280,756 or 0.60% (annualized) of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the "Liquidity Fund"), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $1,839 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM has agreed to reimburse certain of the Fund's operating expenses (excluding investment advisory, administrative and distribution and service fees) in excess of 0.06% annually for each of Class A, Class I and Class R6 of such class's average daily net assets. The expense reimbursement relates to ordinary operating expenses only and does not include expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses. The expense reimbursement agreement with CRM may be changed or terminated after February 1, 2026. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, CRM waived and/or reimbursed expenses of $108,058.

The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class I and Class R6 and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, CRM was paid administrative fees of $56,256.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund's principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2025 amounted to $8,827 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $733 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The Fund was also informed that EVD received no contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A shareholders for the same period.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $1,568 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $250,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $55,000 ($40,000 prior to January 1, 2025) annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $20,000 ($15,000 prior to January 1, 2025) annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Trustees' fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3 Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities and including paydowns and principal repayments on senior floating rate loans, were $12,113,398 and $17,493,147, respectively.
4 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
At September 30, 2024, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $7,948,365 which would reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, can be carried forward for an unlimited period, and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at September 30, 2024, $1,245,450 are short-term and $6,702,915 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at March 31, 2025, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $118,457,758
Gross unrealized appreciation $303,988
Gross unrealized depreciation (3,055,062)
Net unrealized depreciation $(2,751,074)
5 Credit Agreement
The Fund has entered into a committed, senior secured 364-day revolving line of credit agreement, as amended (the Agreement) with a bank to borrow up to a limit of $45 million. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Fund. The Fund is required to maintain a certain borrowing base while borrowings are outstanding. Borrowings may be made for general business purposes, including the purchase of investment securities and temporary or emergency purposes.

Floating-Rate Advantage Fund
March 31, 2025
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
Interest on advances under the Agreement is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the Fund's option of (a) Term SOFR (subject to a 0% floor) plus a Term SOFR adjustment of 0.10% plus a 0.90% margin (the "SOFR Rate") and (b) Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.90% (which cannot be lower than the SOFR Rate). Term SOFR is defined as the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for a 1-month tenor. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund pays a facility fee of 0.15% per annum on the commitment amount.
In connection with the renewal of the Agreement on March 11, 2025, the Fund paid upfront fees of $22,500, which are being amortized to interest expense through March 10, 2026. The unamortized balance at March 31, 2025 is approximately $21,000 and is included in "prepaid upfront fees on note payable" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At March 31, 2025, the Fund had borrowings outstanding under the Agreement of $20,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 5.32%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the Agreement and the variable interest rate, the carrying amount of the borrowings at March 31, 2025 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the Agreement would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2025. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the average borrowings under the Agreement and the average annual interest rate (excluding fees) were $23,230,769 and 5.88%, respectively.
6 Affiliated Investments

8 Risks and Uncertainties
Credit Risk
The Fund invests primarily in below investment grade senior floating rate loans, which have speculative characteristics because of the credit risk associated with their issuers. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to reduce the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments. Such companies are more likely to default on their payments of interest and principal owed than issuers of investment grade bonds. An economic downturn generally leads to a higher non-payment rate, and a loan or other debt obligation may lose significant value before a default occurs. Lower rated investments also may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan's value.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Global Equity Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Management Series (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies(ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment Valuation- Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (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 by the
Board's valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities.Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund's Board has approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities.Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation.In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund's investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security's "fair value", which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company's or entity's financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.

(1) Includes foreign equity securities whose values were adjusted to reflect market trading of comparable securities or other correlated instruments that occurred after the close of trading in their applicable foreign markets.
B Investment Transactions and Income- Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain.
C Share Class Accounting- Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D Foreign Currency Transactions- The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E Distributions to Shareholders- Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.
F Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G Indemnifications- Under the Trust's organizational document, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an
9
Table of Contents
Calvert
Global Equity Fund
March 31, 2025
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and provides that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders or former shareholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H Federal Income Taxes- No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
I Segment Reporting- During this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures(ASU 2023-07), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity's reportable segments. The Fund operates as a single reportable segment, an investment company whose investment objective is included in Note 1. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2023-07, the Fund's President acts as the Fund's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is responsible for assessing the performance of the Fund's single segment and deciding how to allocate the segment's resources. To perform this function, the CODM reviews the information in the Fund's financial statements.
J Interim Financial Statements- The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2025 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:
Average Daily Net Assets Annual Fee
Rate
Up to $500 million 0.680%
$500 million but less than $1 billion 0.655%
$1 billion but less than $2.5 billion 0.630%
$2.5 billion but less than $5 billion 0.610%
$5 billion and over 0.595%
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the investment advisory fee amounted to $34,673 or 0.68% (annualized) of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, CRM has delegated a portion of the investment management of the Fund to Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd. (EVAIL), an affiliate of CRM and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. CRM pays EVAIL a portion of its investment advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the
"Liquidity Fund"), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $93 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM and EVAIL have agreed to reimburse the Fund's operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.14% and 0.89% for Class A and Class I, respectively, of such class's average daily net assets. This expense reimbursement will remain in effect for a five-year period from September 15, 2023. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, CRM and EVAIL waived and/or reimbursed expenses in total of $48,726.

The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class I and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, CRM was paid administrative fees of $6,119.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund's principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2025 amounted to $254 for Class A shares.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $53 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The Fund was also informed that EVD received no contingent deferred sales charges paid by Class A shareholders for the same period.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $688 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $250,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $55,000 ($40,000 prior to January 1, 2025) annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $20,000 ($15,000 prior to January 1, 2025) annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Trustees' fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3 Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $2,143,774 and $3,462,198, respectively.
4 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at March 31, 2025, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $6,752,654
Gross unrealized appreciation $2,616,828
Gross unrealized depreciation (307,242)
Net unrealized appreciation $2,309,586
5 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 21, 2025. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings generally at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2024, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at March 31, 2025. Average borrowings and the weighted average annual interest rate (excluding fees) for the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $38,626 and 5.33%, respectively.

8 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country, and by acts of terrorism and war. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Calvert Global Small-Cap Equity Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Calvert Management Series (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term total return. The Fund is the accounting successor to the Eaton Vance Global Small-Cap Equity Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") pursuant to a reorganization (the "Reorganization") that took place at the close of business on September 15, 2023. The Fund also inherited the Predecessor Fund's historical performance. The Predecessor Fund was managed using investment policies, objectives, guidelines and restrictions that were substantially similar to those of the Fund. The Fund had no investment operations prior to the Reorganization. Financial information included for periods prior to the Reorganization is that of the Predecessor Fund.
The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% may apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares for accounts for which no sales charge was paid, if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, and with certain exceptions, are charged a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% on shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares are only available for purchase through a financial intermediary. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund's prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value, are not subject to a sales charge and are sold only to certain eligible investors. Each class represents a pro rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and is subject to different expenses.
The Fund applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies(ASC 946). Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.
A Investment Valuation- Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (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 by the
Board's valuation designee.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
Equity Securities.Equity securities (including warrants and rights) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Fund's Board has approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Such securities are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Other Securities.Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Fair Valuation.In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund's investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security's "fair value", which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company's or entity's financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material.
The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund's holdings as of March 31, 2025, based on the inputs used to value them:

(1) Includes foreign equity securities whose values were adjusted to reflect market trading of comparable securities or other correlated instruments that occurred after the close of trading in their applicable foreign markets.
B Investment Transactions and Income- Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Distributions received that represent a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments. Distributions received that represent a capital gain are recorded as a realized gain.
C Share Class Accounting- Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class.
D Foreign Currency Transactions- The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
E Distributions to Shareholders- Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
F Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G Indemnifications- Under the Trust's organizational document, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and provides that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders or former shareholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H Federal Income Taxes- No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.
Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
I Segment Reporting- During this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures(ASU 2023-07), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity's reportable segments. The Fund operates as a single reportable segment, an investment company whose investment objective is included in Note 1. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2023-07, the Fund's President acts as the Fund's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is responsible for assessing the performance of the Fund's single segment and deciding how to allocate the segment's resources. To perform this function, the CODM reviews the information in the Fund's financial statements.
J Interim Financial Statements- The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2025 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Related Party Transactions
The investment advisory fee is earned by Calvert Research and Management (CRM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:
Average Daily Net Assets Annual Fee
Rate
Up to $500 million 0.750%
$500 million but less than $1 billion 0.725%
$1 billion but less than $2.5 billion 0.700%
$2.5 billion but less than $5 billion 0.680%
$5 billion and over 0.665%
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the investment advisory fee amounted to $88,039 or 0.75% (annualized) of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, CRM has delegated a portion of the investment management of the Fund to Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd. (EVAIL), an affiliate of CRM and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. EVAIL uses the portfolio management, research and other resources of its affiliate, MSIM Fund Management (Ireland) Limited (MSIM FMIL) to render investment advisory services to the Fund. MSIM FMIL has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with EVAIL pursuant to which MSIM FMIL is considered a participating affiliate of the sub-adviser as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allowing U.S. registered investment advisers to use portfolio management or research resources of unregistered advisory affiliates subject to the supervision of a U.S. registered adviser. CRM pays EVAIL a portion of its investment advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.

The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the "Liquidity Fund"), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment advisory fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the investment advisory fee paid was reduced by $121 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund.
CRM and EVAIL have agreed to reimburse the Fund's operating expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.31%, 2.06% and 1.06% for Class A, Class C and Class I respectively, of such class's average daily net assets. This expense reimbursement will remain in effect for a five-year period from September 15, 2023. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, CRM and EVAIL waived and/or reimbursed expenses in total of $68,430.
The administrative fee is earned by CRM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class I and is payable monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, CRM was paid administrative fees of $14,086.
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of CRM and the Fund's principal underwriter, a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. In addition, pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued for the six months ended March 31, 2025 amounted to $18,918 and $4,424 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
The Fund was informed that EVD received $136 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The Fund was also informed that EVD received less than $100 of contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) paid by Class C shareholders and no CDSC paid by Class A shareholders for the same period.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an affiliate of CRM, provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, sub-transfer agency fees and expenses incurred to EVM amounted to $1,900 and are included in transfer agency fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Each Trustee of the Fund who is not an employee of CRM or its affiliates receives an annual fee of $250,000, an annual Committee fee ranging from $8,500 to $16,500 depending on the Committee, and may receive a fee of $10,000 for special meetings. The Board chair receives an additional $55,000 ($40,000 prior to January 1, 2025) annual fee, Committee chairs receive an additional $20,000 ($15,000 prior to January 1, 2025) annual fee and the special equities liaison receives an additional $2,500 annual fee. Eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or other Calvert funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected equal to the dollar amounts deferred under the Plan, resulting in an asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Obligations of the Plan are paid solely from the Fund's assets. Trustees' fees are allocated to each of the Calvert funds served. Salaries and fees of officers and Trustees of the Fund who are employees of CRM or its affiliates are paid by CRM.
3 Investment Activity
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, were $5,421,604 and $9,040,215, respectively.

4 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at March 31, 2025, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost $17,622,379
Gross unrealized appreciation $4,727,351
Gross unrealized depreciation (1,381,409)
Net unrealized appreciation $3,345,942
5 Securities Lending
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend its securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT), the securities lending agent. Security loans are subject to termination by the Fund at any time and, therefore, are not considered illiquid investments. The Fund requires that the loan be continuously collateralized by either cash or securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is generally invested in a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act that is managed by an affiliate of SSBT. Any gain or loss in the market price of the loaned securities that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would accrue to the account of the Fund. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Fund and the securities lending agent based on agreed upon contractual terms. Non-cash collateral, if any, is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The risks associated with lending portfolio securities include, but are not limited to, possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities, possible loss of rights to the collateral should the borrower fail financially, as well as risk of loss in the value of the collateral or the value of the investments made with the collateral. The securities lending agent shall indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.
At March 31, 2025, the total value of securities on loan was $758,536 and the total value of collateral received was $812,403, comprised of cash of $78,596 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $733,807.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of March 31, 2025.
Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions

Continuous
<30 days 30 to 90 days >90 days Total
Common Stocks $78,596 $ - $ - $ - $78,596
The carrying amount of the liability for deposits for securities loaned at March 31, 2025 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 1A) at March 31, 2025.
6 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates, including CRM, in a $650 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 21, 2025. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings generally at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. In connection with the renewal of the agreement in October 2024, an arrangement fee of $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to its line of credit at March 31, 2025. Average borrowings and the weighted average annual interest rate (excluding fees) for the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $51,593 and 5.40%, respectively.

9 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country, and by acts of terrorism and war. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
