Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Fund is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, the Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.
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.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
With virtually every U.S. equity index posting strong double-digit returns for the12-month period ended December 31, 2019 — and bond markets solidly in the black as well — 2019 was a good year for investments.
As the new year dawned in January 2019, investors appeared to be taking a “glass is half full” approach. Although U.S. manufacturing output and business investment remained weak — held back by slowing global growth and anon-again/off-again U.S.-China trade war — strong spending by U.S. consumers and dovish remarks by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) combined to lift investor sentiment. After four federal funds rate hikes the previous year, markets began to project the Fed might actually lower rates in 2019 to stimulate the economy. U.S. unemployment, meanwhile, remained low and hiring remained strong.
As a result, U.S. stocks across multiple markets climbed from January through April 2019. Overseas, central banks around the world began to cut interest rates and employ other tools to stimulate their respective economies. Even a global stock pullback in May — sparked by heightened concerns about the U.S.-China trade spat — proved to be temporary, and the U.S. and global stock rallies resumed in June and July.
After holding interest rates steady through the first half of the year, the Fed cut the federal funds rate on July 31, 2019 — its first reduction in over a decade — followed by two additional rate cuts in September and October to end the period at1.50%-1.75%. By end of the third quarter, 60 central banks around the world had lowered their interest rates as well.
After falling in August, U.S. equities rallied again during the final months of the period, spurred by optimism about a U.S.-China trade détente and better-than-expected U.S. employment reports. The year ended with two events in December that did much to allay investor concerns about international trade and tariffs: passage of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement by the U.S. House of Representatives and the Trump administration’s agreement to aso-called “phase–one” trade deal with China.
During the12-month period ended December 31, 2019, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average®2 returned 25.34%, while the broader U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, returned 31.49%. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned 36.69% during the period.Large-cap U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, generally outperformed theirsmall-cap counterparts, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. As a group, growth stocks outpaced value stocks in both large- andsmall-cap categories, as measured by the Russell growth and value indexes.
Fund Performance
For the12-month period ended December 31, 2019, Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 (the Fund) returned 29.83% at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index (the Index), which returned 31.49%.
The Fund underperformed relative to the Index largely due to stock selection. Sector and industry allocations were marginally positive. The Fund had positive returns in all 11 market sectors in the Index. The Index had positive returns in 10 sectors.
The industrials sector detracted most from relative Fund performance versus the Index during the period largely due to stock selection. In the aerospace & defense industry, aircraft manufacturer Boeing Co. (Boeing) was among the Fund’s worst performing individual stocks. The grounding of the 737 MAX aircraft after two crashes detracted from the Boeing’s operational results. The Fund’s overweight position in the lagging air freight & logistics industry also hampered returns relative to the Index during the period.
The information technology (IT) sector also detracted from Fund performance versus the Index due to subpar stock selection as well as the Fund’s underweight position in the outperforming sector. Within the IT sector, the communications equipment industry was a notable laggard during the period. Among the Fund’s weakest stocks was Arista Networks, Inc., a developer of cloud networking equipment. The stock price declined during the period due to disappointing financial results amid slowing infrastructure spending and increased competition. An underweight position in two outperforming stocks — consumer electronics company Apple, Inc. and software giant Microsoft Corp. — also detracted from relative Fund results.
Stock selection in the health care sector constrained relative returns versus the Index during the period. In particular, the Fund’s overweight position in the underperforming biotechnology industry hurt relative results. Within the industry, biopharmaceutical company AbbVie, Inc. was among the Fund’s weakest stocks as sales results disappointed amid slower growth and limited new product advances.
On the positive side, the consumer discretionary sector contributed to relative performance versus the Index aided by strong stock selection. In the outperforming hotels, restaurants & leisure industry, casual restaurant operator Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. was one of the Fund’s leading stocks after reporting positive sales and earnings results during the period.
The Fund’s underweight position in the lagging utilities sector also boosted relative Fund performance versus the Index during the period.
The communication services sector also contributed to returns relative to the Index mostly due to stock selection and a favorable overweight position. In particular, the interactive media & services industry delivered notable results. Leading social networking company Facebook, Inc. was among the Fund’s leading stocks after reporting double-digit revenue growth.
Overall, the Fund’s leading individual stock was Paycom Software, Inc., a cloud-based human capital management software provider. The company generated better-than-expected financial results driven by continued demand for its talent management software.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) 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 for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

Important Notice to Shareholders
| The Fund typically meets redemptions of Fund shares by distributing portfolio securities equal in value to the Fund shares being redeemed. The selection of each security to be distributed in a redemption is in the sole discretion of the Fund’s investment adviser. Settlement of redemptions ordinarily will occur within five business days of the processing of a redemption, provided that all requested delivery information has been provided by the redeeming shareholder. Redeeming shareholders will be exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the value of the securities distributed by the Fund upon redemptions until the securities are received and/or sold by the shareholder. If portfolio securities distributed to meet a redemption are sold by the redeeming shareholder, the shareholder will incur brokerage commissions or other transaction costs. Shareholders should consult with their financial intermediary in connection with a redemption request. Questions concerning redemptions may be directed to Eaton Vance Investor Services at1-866-910-2425. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, 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 and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing 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 (July 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019).
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 Fund return. 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 be higher.

The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 (the Fund) is a diversified series of the Eaton Vance Series Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as anopen-end management investment company. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests inTax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio), a Massachusetts business trust, having the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (4.7% at December 31, 2019). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies.”
A Investment Valuation — Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
B Income — The Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’spro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio, less all actual and accrued expenses of the Fund.
C 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.
As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,de-recognition, or disclosure. The Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscalyear-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
D 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.
E Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
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. 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 theBy-laws provide that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, theBy-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
G Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
It is the present policy of the Fund to make quarterly distributions of all or substantially all of its net investment income and to distribute annually all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years). Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the Fund at the net asset value as of theex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified topaid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.

December 31, 2019
Notes to Financial Statements — continued
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 31, | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 12,113,654 | | | $ | 11,604,263 | |
| | |
Tax return of capital | | $ | — | | | $ | 343,988 | |
During the year ended December 31, 2019, distributable earnings was decreased by $60,767,342 andpaid-in capital was increased by $60,767,342 due to differences between book and tax accounting for the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of December 31, 2019, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 8,047 | |
| |
Deferred capital losses | | $ | (4,682,713 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 1,011,132,621 | |
At December 31, 2019, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $4,682,713 which would reduce its 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 and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at December 31, 2019, $3,917,318 are short-term and $765,395 are long-term.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator to 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 providessub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to aSub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2019, EVM earned $34,677 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations.
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
4 Investment Transactions
For the year ended December 31, 2019, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $0 and $75,419,628, respectively. Decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio include distributions of securities as the result of redemptionsin-kind with a value of $65,337,354.
5 Shares of Beneficial Interest

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Series Trust and Shareholders of Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0 (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Series Trust), as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio
December 31, 2019
Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified,open-end management investment company. The Portfolio’s investment objective is to achieve long-term,after-tax returns for interestholders through investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At December 31, 2019, Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0, Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1, Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 and Eaton VanceTax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund held an interest of 4.7%, 8.0%, 4.2%, and 0.8% respectively, in the Portfolio. In addition, an unregistered fund managed by the adviser to the Portfolio held an aggregate interest of 82.3% in the Portfolio.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Portfolio is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies.”
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Equity Securities. Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing 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 on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official 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.
Foreign Securities and Currencies. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. 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 Portfolio’s 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.
Affiliated Fund. The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Fair Valuation. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Portfolio in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Portfolio 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.
B Investment Transactions — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C Income — Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if theex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of theex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, the Portfolio has filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries. Due to the uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements for such reclaims. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
D Federal Taxes — The Portfolio has elected to be 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 taxable income. Since at least one of the Portfolio’s investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (under 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 losses and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio
December 31, 2019
Notes to Financial Statements — continued
As of December 31, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscalyear-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
E Foreign Currency Translation— Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. 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.
F Use of Estimates— The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
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. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, interestholders in the Portfolio could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Portfolio. However, the Portfolio’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Portfolio interestholders. 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.
2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. Under the investment advisory agreement, BMR receives a monthly advisory fee at a rate of 0.625% annually of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million. The advisory fee on net assets of $500 million or more is reduced as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Annual Fee Rate (for each level) | |
| |
$500 million but less than $1 billion | | | 0.5625 | % |
| |
$1 billion but less than $1.5 billion | | | 0.5000 | % |
| |
$1.5 billion but less than $7 billion | | | 0.4375 | % |
| |
$7 billion but less than $10 billion | | | 0.4250 | % |
| |
$10 billion but less than $15 billion | | | 0.4125 | % |
| |
$15 billion but less than $20 billion | | | 0.4000 | % |
| |
$20 billion but less than $25 billion | | | 0.3900 | % |
| |
$25 billion and over | | | 0.3800 | % |
The Portfolio invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee amounted to $81,541,698 or 0.43% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Officers and Trustees of the Portfolio who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who 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 year ended December 31, 2019, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
3 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $206,905,515 and $121,317,923, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition, investors contributed securities with an aggregate market value of $2,162,578,875 and investments having an aggregate market value of $943,319,699 were distributed in payment for capital withdrawals during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Portfolio has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities.

6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 29, 2019, funds managed by Calvert Research and Management, an affiliate of EVM, were added as participating funds to the agreement and the borrowing limit was increased from $625 million. Borrowings are made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Portfolio 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 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Portfolio, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended December 31, 2019.

8 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
• | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At December 31, 2019, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

9 Legal Proceedings
In November 2010, the Portfolio was named as defendant and a putative member of the proposed defendant class of shareholders in the case entitled Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (UCC) of the Tribune Company v. FitzSimons, et al. as a result of its ownership of shares in the Tribune Company (Tribune) in 2007 when Tribune effected a leveraged buyout transaction (LBO) and was converted to a privately held company. The UCC, which has been replaced by a Litigation Trustee pursuant to Tribune’s plan of reorganization, seeks to recover payments of the proceeds of the LBO. In June 2011, a group of Tribune creditors filed multiple actions against former Tribune shareholders involving state law constructive fraudulent conveyance claims arising out of the LBO (the “SLFC actions”). The Portfolio has been named as a defendant in one of the SLFC actions filed in United States District Court — District of Massachusetts by Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas seeking to recover the proceeds received in connection with the LBO from former shareholders. The FitzSimons action and the SLFC actions are now part of a multi-district litigation proceeding in the Southern District of New York. The value of the proceeds received by the Portfolio is approximately $48,237,000 (equal to 0.2% of net assets at December 31, 2019).
The Portfolio cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings or the effect, if any, on the Portfolio’s net asset value. The attorneys’ fees and costs related to these actions are expensed by the Portfolio as incurred.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees and Investors ofTax-Managed Growth Portfolio:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities ofTax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
