Calvert US Large-Cap Core Responsible Index Fund is managed by Calvert Research and Management, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley following the 2017 acquisition of Calvert Investment Management by Eaton Vance and Morgan Stanley's subsequent $7 billion purchase of Eaton Vance in 2021. Calvert Research and Management specializes in responsible investing across equity, fixed income, and multi-asset strategies, leveraging proprietary ESG research and the Calvert Principles to evaluate financially material environmental, social, and governance factors.
Recent management changes include the appointment of Gordon Wotherspoon and Jennifer Mihara as co-portfolio managers effective July 1, 2024, overseeing the fund's strategy amid sustained growth in assets under management. The fund maintains its passive indexing approach with minor active optimizations for ESG alignment, supporting ongoing expansion in responsible investment offerings as Calvert integrates advanced sustainability data and engages in corporate governance initiatives. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or structural reorganizations have been reported for the fund in the last 1-2 years, reflecting stability within Morgan Stanley's broader platform.
