For more information about Eaton Vance's Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called "householding" and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise.
If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.
Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio (if applicable) will file a schedule of its portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds' and Portfolios' Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

The Fund
Performance for the Past Six Months
• During the six months ended June 30, 2005, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 (the Fund) shares had a total return of
- -1.55%. This return was the result of a decrease in net asset value per share to $519.63 on June 30, 2005, from $530.77 on December 31, 2004, and the distribution of $2.90 per share in income.
• For comparison, the S&P 500 Index – a broad-based, unmanaged market index commonly used as a measure of overall U.S. stock market performance – had a total return of -0.81% for the same period.(1)
See pages 3 and 4 for more performance information, including after-tax returns.
Management Discussion
• Although consumer spending, manufacturing activity and corporate earnings growth remained healthy during the first half of 2005, investor concerns about rising interest rates, a mounting trade deficit and record oil prices hampered stock market performance. Equity market leadership for the first half of 2005 can be characterized as defensive and interest-rate sensitive. Higher-yielding stocks generally outperformed more aggressive stocks, and small- and mid-cap stocks generally outperformed large-cap stocks. Energy, utilities and health care were the strongest performing sectors, while telecommunications and materials were the weakest performing sectors.
• The Fund invests in Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio), which invests on a long-term basis in a broadly diversified portfolio of primarily large-cap stocks. During the first half of 2005, its large-cap orientation and growth emphasis were not consistent with a market environment that favored small-and mid-cap stocks and value-style investing. The Portfolio’s de-emphasis of the slower-growth, high-yielding sectors, such as utilities, hurt returns during the period. The Portfolio’s returns were also negatively affected by its overweight of airfreight logistics and machinery investments, and adverse stock selection within food and staples retailing industries.
• On the positive side, an overweighted position in the energy sector helped Portfolio performance, as investments in oil production, equipment and drilling companies advanced on record oil prices. The Portfolio’s underweight of the information technology and materials sectors was also helpful, as electronic equipment, computers and metal industries declined during the first half of 2005. The Portfolio also benefited from favorable stock selection within the diversified telecom, mortgage-thrifts and consumer service industries during the period.
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio manager and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
(1) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

“Return Before Taxes” does not take into consideration shareholder taxes. It is most relevant to tax-free or tax-deferred shareholder accounts. “Return After Taxes on Distributions” reflects the impact of federal income taxes due on Fund distributions of dividends and capital gains. It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who continue to hold their shares. “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” also reflects the impact of taxes on capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares. It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who sell their shares.

The Fund commenced operations on 3/29/66.
After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal income tax rate and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant for shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held by non-taxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions for a period may be the same as Return Before Taxes for that period because no distributions were paid during that period or because the taxable portion of distributions made during the period was insignificant. Also,Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be greater than Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of realized losses on the sale of Fund shares.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 as of June 30, 2005
FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2005 – June 30, 2005).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. 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 your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 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 (if applicable). Therefore, the second section 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.

| | Beginning Account Value (1/1/05) | | Ending Account Value (6/30/05) | | Expenses Paid During Period* (1/1/05 – 6/30/05) | |

Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,022.50 | | $ | 2.31 | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.46% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on December 31, 2004. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio.

C Expenses - The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
D Federal Taxes - The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Although the Fund intends to distribute net realized long-term gains to shareholders each year, the Fund reserves the right to designate such gains as undistributed and pay the federal tax thereon on behalf of shareholders. Provision for such tax is recorded on the Fund's records on the last business day of the Fund's fiscal year because the Internal Revenue Code provides that such tax is allocated among shareholders of record on that date.
E Expense Reduction - Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as a custodian to the Fund and the Portfolio. Pursuant to the respective custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on average daily cash balances the Fund or the Portfolio maintains with IBT. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, there were no credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fee.
F Indemnifications - Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. 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 agains t the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
H Use of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I Interim Financial Statements - The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2005 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.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 as of June 30, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund's policy is to distribute all or substantially all of the net investment income allocated to the Fund by the Portfolio (less the Fund's direct expenses) and to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains (reduced by any available capital loss carryforwards from prior years) allocated by the Portfolio to the Fund, if any. Distributions are paid in the form of additional shares of the Fund or, at the election of the shareholder, in cash. Shareholders may reinvest all distributions in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value as of the close of business on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are re-classified to paid-in capital.
3 Shares of Beneficial Interest

5 Transactions with Affiliates
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of those services. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, EVM earned $2,078 in sub-transfer agent fees.
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee earned by BMR. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with EVM or BMR may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of these annual fees in accordance with terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, no significant amounts have been deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.

Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio as of June 30, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Portfolio, which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on December 1, 1995, seeks to provide long-term, after-tax returns through investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuations - Securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System generally are valued at the official NASDAQ closing price. 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 asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by an independent pricing service. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price for the day of valuation as quoted on the principal exchange or board of trade on which the options are traded or, in the absence of sales on such date, at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices therefore. Futures positions on securities and currencies generally are valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. If short-term debt securities were acquired with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, their amortized cost value will be based on their value on the sixty-first day prior to maturity. Other fixed income and debt securities, including listed securities and securities for which price quotations are available, will normally be valued on the basis of valuations furnishe d by a pricing service. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by an independent quotation service. 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 Trustees have 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. Investments held by the Portfolio for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Portfolio considering relevant factors, data and information including the market value of freely tradable securities of the same class in the principal market on which such securities are normally traded.
B Income Taxes - The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of such taxable income. Since some of the Portfolio's investors are regulated investment companies that invest all or substantially all of their assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (unde r the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least annually among its investors, each investor's distributive share of the Portfolio's net investment income, net realized capital gains, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
C Futures Contracts - Upon the entering of a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Portfolio (margin maintenance) each day, dependent on daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. The Portfolio's investment in financial futures contracts is des igned to hedge against anticipated future changes in the price of current or anticipated portfolio positions. Should prices move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss.
D Put Options - Upon the purchase of a put option by the Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires, the Portfolio will realize
25
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio as of June 30, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. When the Portfolio exercises a put option, settlement is made in cash. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.
E Securities Sold Short - The Portfolio may sell a security short if it owns at least an equal amount of the security sold short or another security exchangeable for an equal amount of the security sold short in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities or in order to hedge portfolio positions. The Portfolio will generally borrow the security sold in order to make delivery to the buyer. Upon executing the transaction, the Portfolio records the proceeds as deposits with brokers in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and establishes an offset ting payable for securities sold short for the securities due on settlement. The proceeds are retained by the broker as collateral for the short position. The liability is marked-to-market and the Portfolio is required to pay the lending broker any dividend or interest income earned while the short position is open. A gain or loss is recorded when the security is delivered to the broker. The Portfolio may recognize a loss on the transaction if the market value of the securities sold increases before the securities are delivered.
F Foreign Currency Translation - Investment valuations, other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net real ized 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.
G Indemnifications - Under the Portfolio's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Interestholders in the Portfolio are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities and obligations of the Portfolio in the event that the Portfolio fails to satisfy such liabilities and obligations; provided, however, that, to the extent assets are available in the Portfolio, the Portfolio may, under certain circumstances, indemnify interestholders from and against any claim or liability to which such holder may become subject by reason of being or having been an interestholder in the Portfolio. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
H Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
I Expense Reduction - Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances the Portfolio maintains with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Portfolio's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, there were $231 in credit balances used to reduce the Portfolio's custodian fee.
J Use of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
K Interim Financial Statements - The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2005 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, but in the opinion of the Portfolio's management reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. Under the advisory agreement, BMR receives a
26
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio as of June 30, 2005
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
monthly advisory fee of 5/96 of 1% (0.625% annually) of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio up to $500,000,000, and at reduced rates as daily net assets exceed that level. Certain of the advisory fee rate reductions are pursuant to an agreement between the Portfolio's Board of Trustees and BMR. Those reductions may not be changed without Trustee and interestholder approval. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the advisory fee was 0.44% (annualized) of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. BMR has also agreed to reduce the investment adviser fee by an amount equal to that portion of commissions paid to broker dealers in execution of Portfolio security transactions that is consideration for third-party research services. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, BMR waived $88,889 of its advisory fee. Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of E VM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of such investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio that are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees' Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, no significant amounts have been deferred.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
3 Investment Transactions
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $22,688,870 and $415,840,100, respectively. In addition, investments having an aggregate market value of $565,731,197 at dates of withdrawal were distributed in payment for capital withdrawals. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, investors contributed securities with a value of $468,511,867.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the investments owned at June 30, 2005 as computed on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost | | $ | 4,486,007,609 | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 13,797,696,167 | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (1,780,983 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 13,795,915,184 | | |
Unrealized appreciation on currency is $17,884.
5 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes.
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The Portfolio did not have any open obligations under these financial instruments at June 30, 2005.
6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and EVM and its affiliates in a $150 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings will be made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0
BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The investment advisory agreement between Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") and its investment adviser, Boston Management and Research, provides that the advisory agreement will continue in effect from year to year so long as its continuance is approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the noninterested Trustees of the Portfolio cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval and (ii) by the Trustees of the Portfolio or by vote of a majority of the outstanding interests of the Portfolio.
In considering the annual approval of the investment advisory agreement between the Portfolio and the investment adviser, the Special Committee of the Board of Trustees considered information that had been provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished to the Special Committee for a series of meetings held in February and March in preparation for a Board meeting held on March 21, 2005 to specifically consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreement. Such information included, among other things, the following:
• An independent report comparing Portfolio advisory fees with those of comparable funds;
• An independent report comparing the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0's (the "Fund") expense ratio to those of comparable funds;
• Information regarding Fund investment performance in comparison to a relevant peer group of funds and appropriate indices;
• The economic outlook and the general investment outlook in relevant investment markets;
• Eaton Vance Management's ("Eaton Vance") results and financial condition and the overall organization of the investment adviser;
• The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of Fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;
• The allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by the investment adviser as a result of brokerage allocation;
• Eaton Vance's management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants;
• The resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by Eaton Vance on behalf of the funds it manages and the record of compliance with the investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions;
• The quality, nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates; and
• The terms of the advisory agreement and the reasonableness and appropriateness of the particular fee paid by the Portfolio for the services described therein.
In evaluating the investment advisory agreement between Eaton Vance and the Portfolio, the Special Committee also considered information relating to the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other Eaton Vance personnel whose responsibilities include portfolio management. The Special Committee also considered the investment adviser's experience in managing equity funds with an objective of after-tax returns. The Special Committee also took into account the time and attention to be devoted by senior management to the Portfolio and the other funds in the complex. The Special Committee also took into account the time and attention to be devoted by senior management to the Portfolio and the other funds in the complex. The Special Committee evaluated the level of skill and expertise required to
29
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0
BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONT'D
manage the Portfolio and concluded that the human resources available at the investment adviser were appropriate to fulfill effectively its duties on behalf of the Portfolio.
In its review of comparative information with respect to Fund investment performance, the Special Committee concluded that the Fund has performed within a range that the Special Committee deemed competitive. With respect to its review of investment advisory fees, the Special Committee concluded that the fees paid by the Portfolio are within the range of those paid by comparable funds within the mutual fund industry. In reviewing the information regarding the expense ratio of the Fund, the Special Committee concluded that the Fund's expense ratio is within a range that is competitive with comparable funds.
In addition to the factors mentioned above, the Special Committee reviewed the profit levels of the investment adviser and its affiliates in providing investment management and administration services for the Fund and Portfolio and for all Eaton Vance funds as a group. The Special Committee also considered the other benefits realized by Eaton Vance and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Portfolio, as well as Eaton Vance's implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program. Pursuant to the soft dollar reimbursement program, the Portfolio may receive reimbursement payments in respect of third party research services obtained by Eaton Vance as a result of soft dollar credits generated through trading on behalf of the Portfolio. In addition, the Special Committee considered the fiduciary duty assumed by the investment adviser in connection with the services rendered to the Po rtfolio and the business reputation of the investment adviser and its financial resources. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the services rendered, the profits realized by the investment adviser are not unreasonable. The Special Committee also considered the extent to which the investment adviser appears to be realizing benefits from economies of scale in managing the Portfolio, and concluded that the fee breakpoints which are in place will allow for an equitable sharing of such benefits, when realized, with the Portfolio and the shareholders of the Fund.
The Special Committee did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether or not to renew the investment advisory agreement. Nor are the items described herein all the matters considered by the Special Committee. In assessing the information provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates, the Special Committee also took into consideration the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds which provides a large variety of shareholder services.
Based on its consideration of the foregoing factors and conclusions, and such other factors and conclusions as it deemed relevant, and assisted by independent counsel, the Special Committee concluded that the renewal of the investment advisory agreement, including the fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders.
