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. Each Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Funds is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, each 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
The fiscal year that began December 1, 2017, was characterized by a flattening of the municipal bond yield curve.7 Driven by four federal funds rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) — starting in December 2017, and continuing in March, June, and September 2018 — rates generally rose across the entire U.S. Treasury yield curve, more so at the short end of the curve.
In the opening month of the period, the municipal market experienced considerable volatility after theGOP-controlled House and Senate passed new tax legislation. The most significant change to the municipal market was the elimination of an issuer’s ability to refinance debt prior to its call date through the issuance of advanced refunding bonds, which accounted for about 20% of new issuances over the previous decade. As a result, December 2017 witnessed the largestone-month issuance of new municipal debt, as issuers rushed to beat the December 31, 2017 deadline. Investors sold short maturity bonds to buynew-issue longer-maturity bonds in anticipation of lower supply going forward. The net result was a rise in prices on longer-term debt that drove a flattening of the yield curve in December 2017.
At the start of the new year, however, bond prices reversed direction. Signs of inflation, wage growth, and fears that new tax legislation might overheat the economy pushed short-term interest rates higher and longer-term bond prices lower. Upward pressure on short-term rates continued in March and June 2018 as the Fed delivered its first two rate hikes of the year. From April through the end of August 2018, fluctuating perceptions of geopolitical risk were a primary driver of rates at the long end of the curve. Investor sentiment toggled between concerns over a global trade war, optimism about economic growth, and uncertainties surrounding the strained relationship between the U.S. and North Korea.
In September 2018, the Fed hiked rates again and both U.S. Treasury and municipal rates rose across the curve. In October 2018, a strong U.S. employment report and easing concerns over Italy’s national budget continued the upward pressure on longer-term rates. In the final month of the period, however, longer-term rates declined after the Fed made dovish comments about the future direction of interest rates and the Democrats won a majority in the House of Representatives, decreasing the possibility of further tax cuts in 2019.
During the12-month period, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the Index),2 a broad measure of the asset class, returned 1.13% as coupon income modestly outweighed the
negative effects of falling bond prices. While rates forAAA-rated8 bonds rose across the yield curve, rate increases were greater at the shorter end of the curve.
On a total return basis, bonds with 15 years or less remaining to maturity generally outperformed bonds with 20 or more years to maturity. At the same time, lower-rated bonds generally outperformed higher-rated issues. Municipal bonds, in general, outperformed comparable U.S. Treasurys during the period, with the exception of the30-year area of the curve where municipals performed in line with U.S. Treasurys.
Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018, shares of the California, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania Trusts (the Funds) at net asset value (NAV) underperformed the 1.13% return of the Funds’ benchmark, the Index, while the New Jersey Trust at NAV outperformed the Index.
Each Fund’s overall strategy is to invest primarily in investment grade bonds of the Fund’s particular state. Management may hedge investments against the potential risk of volatility associated with the use of leverage and by investing in bonds at the long end of the yield curve using U.S. Treasury futures.
As a risk management tactic within each individual Fund, interest rate hedging is used to moderate performance on both the upside and downside of the market. During this period of declining municipal bond prices, the Funds’ Treasury futures hedge mitigated some of the price declines, and contributed modestly to performance relative to the unhedged Index for the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Funds. The California, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, and Ohio Funds did not employ a hedging strategy during the period.
During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018, management employed leverage through Residual Interest Bond financing,6 Auction Preferred Shares (APS) and Institutional MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (iMTP) to seek to enhance the Funds’tax-exempt income. In general, the use of leverage has the effect of achieving additional exposure to the municipal market, and magnifying a Fund’s exposure to its underlying investments in both up and down markets. During this period of rising rates and falling bond prices, the use of leverage amplified the relatively minor declines in the price of bonds owned by the Funds but also generated additionaltax-exempt income. As of November 30, 2018, the Funds had no APS and iMTP Shares outstanding.

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 market price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested and include management fees and other expenses. Fund performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV due to factors such as changing perceptions about the Fund, market conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand for Fund shares, or changes in Fund distributions. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance 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.

State-specific Results
Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Trust shares at NAV returned –0.70%, underperforming the 1.13% return of the Index. Detractors from Fund performance versus the Index included leveraged investments used by the Fund, and security selections in the health care sector and general obligation (GO) bonds. In contrast, performance relative to the Index was helped by security selection inA-rated andBBB-rated bonds, security selection and an overweight position inzero-coupon bonds, and security selection in insured Puerto Rico bonds.
Returns were supported by the relatively strong performance of Puerto Rico’s debt structure during the period as ongoing bankruptcy negotiations signaled that bondholder recoveries may exceed initial expectations by the market. The Fund’s insured Puerto Rico holdings were insured by various municipal bond insurers. It should be noted that most uninsured bonds issued by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and its conduit issuers were no longer included in the Index. As Puerto Rico continued to deal with its ongoing fiscal crisis during the period, bonds issued by different legal entities were influenced by a number of factors, including monetary default. As the period ended, Puerto Rico continued to negotiate with creditors to address its current debt structure under the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act passed by the U.S. Congress.
Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Trust shares at NAV returned –0.82%, underperforming the 1.13% return of the Index. Leveraged investments used by the Fund, security selection in the education sector, and security selection inAA-rated bonds detracted from performance relative to the Index. During a period when lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-rated issues, an overweight inBBB-rated bonds and below contributed to performance versus the Index. Additional contributors to relative results included security selection and an overweight position in insured Puerto Rico bonds and holdings that were prerefunded during the period.
Eaton Vance Michigan Municipal Income Trust shares at NAV returned –0.20%, underperforming the 1.13% return of the Index. Detractors from performance relative to the Index included leveraged investments used by the Fund, an underweight inBBB-rated issues and security selection in the health care sector. In contrast, performance versus the Index was aided by an overweight position and security selection in insured Puerto Rico bonds, security selection in the water and sewer sector, and holdings that were prerefunded during the period.
Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipal Income Trust shares at NAV returned 1.53%, outperforming the 1.13% return of the Index. Security selection and an overweight position in insured and uninsured Puerto Rico bonds, security selection and an overweight position inBBB-rated bonds, and security selection inzero-coupon bonds all contributed to Fund performance versus the Index. Detractors from Fund performance relative to the Index included leveraged investments used by the Fund, security selection in state GO bonds, and security selection inAA-rated bonds.
Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Trust shares at NAV returned –0.61%, underperforming the 1.13% return of the Index. Leveraged investments used by the Fund detracted from performance relative to the Index, as did security selection in the lease revenue/certificates of participation sector and security selection in 4.0% coupon bonds. Contributors to performance versus the Index included security selection in insured Puerto Rico bonds, an overweight position inBBB-rated bonds and below, and security selection in the housing sector.
Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Trust shares at NAV returned –0.66%, underperforming the 1.13% return of the Index. Performance versus the Index was hurt by leveraged investments used by the Fund, security selection in local GO bonds, and an overweight and security selection inzero-coupon bonds. Contributors to results versus the Index included security selection and an overweight position in insured Puerto Rico bonds, security selection in the industrial development revenue sector, and security selection in the education sector.
Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipal Income Trust shares at NAV returned –0.05%, underperforming the 1.13% return of the Index. Leveraged investments used by the Fund, security selection in local GO bonds, and security selection inAAA-rated bonds all detracted from Fund performance versus the Index. Contributors to performance relative to the Index included security selection and an overweight position in insured Puerto Rico bonds, an overweight position in the health care sector, and holdings that were prerefunded during the period.

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 market price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested and include management fees and other expenses. Fund performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV due to factors such as changing perceptions about the Fund, market conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand for Fund shares, or changes in Fund distributions. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance 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.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures
1 | The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements.” The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2 | Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 | Performance results reflect the effects of leverage. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. Included in the average annual total return at NAV for the five and ten year periods is the impact of the tender and repurchase of a portion of the Fund’s Auction Preferred Shares (APS) at 95.5% of the Fund’s APS per share liquidation preference. Had this transaction not occurred, the total return at NAV would be lower for the Fund. |
4 | The shares of the Fund often trade at a discount or premium from their net asset value. The discount or premium of the Fund may vary over time and may be higher or lower than what is quoted in this report. Forup-to-date premium/discount information, please refer to http://eatonvance.com/closedend. |
5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV or market price at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes astax-exempt income, qualified andnon-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form1099-DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after eachyear-end. For information about the tax character of distributions made in prior calendar years, please refer toPerformance-Tax Character of Distributions on the Fund’s webpage available at eatonvance.com. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. Fund distributions may be affected by numerous factors including changes in Fund performance, the cost of financing for Funds that employ leverage, portfolio holdings, realized and projected returns, and other factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lowertax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. |
6 | Fund employs RIB financing leverage. The leverage created by RIB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater price volatility). The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. See “Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held” in the notes to the financial statements for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage represents the amount of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period end as a percentage of Fund net assets applicable to common shares plus Floating Rate Notes. The Fund may be required to maintain prescribed asset coverage for its leverage and may be required to reduce its leverage at an inopportune time. |
7 | Yield curve is a graphical representation of the yields offered by bonds of various maturities. The yield curve flattens when long-term rates fall and/or short-term rates increase, and the yield curve steepens when long-term rates increase and/or short-term rates fall. |
8 | Ratings are based on Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |

The Trust invests primarily in debt securities issued by California municipalities.

In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at November 30, 2018, 17.7% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 1.7% to 7.5% of total investments.

The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 1.0% to 4.6% of total investments.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Trust (California Trust), Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Trust (Massachusetts Trust), Eaton Vance Michigan Municipal Income Trust (Michigan Trust), Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipal Income Trust (New Jersey Trust), Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Trust (New York Trust), Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Trust (Ohio Trust) and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipal Income Trust (Pennsylvania Trust), (each individually referred to as the Trust, and collectively, the Trusts), are Massachusetts business trusts registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), asnon-diversified,closed-end management investment companies. The Trusts’ investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and taxes in its specified state.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Trusts. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Each Trust is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Debt Obligations. Debt obligations are generally valued on the basis of 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 asked 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. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term debt obligations purchased with a remaining maturity 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.
Derivatives. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
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 a Trust in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that a Trust 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 condition, 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 and Related Income — 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — Each Trust’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 taxable, if any, andtax-exempt 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. Each Trust intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments innon-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Trust, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
As of November 30, 2018, the Trusts had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,de-recognition, or disclosure. Each Trust 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 Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
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 each 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 each Trust. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as a Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, each Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Trust shareholders and theBy-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Trust shareholders. Moreover, theBy-laws also provide for indemnification out of Trust 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, each Trust enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Trust that have not yet occurred.
G Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — The Trusts may invest in residual interest bonds, also referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby a Trust may sell a variable or fixed rate bond for cash to a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), while at the same time, buying a residual interest in the assets and cash flows of the SPV. The bond is deposited into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the SPV by the Trust, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Trust (the Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The residual interest bond held by a Trust gives the Trust the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the Bond held by the SPV transferred to the Trust, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Trust exercise such right, it would generally pay the SPV the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Trusts account for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Bond in their Portfolio of Investments and the Floating Rate Notes (net of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs, if any) as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes issued” in their Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the SPV for redemption at par at each reset date. Accordingly, the fair value of the payable for floating rate notes issued approximates its carrying value. If measured at fair value, the payable for floating rate notes would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 10) at November 30, 2018. Interest expense related to a Trust’s liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Trust, as noted above, or by the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. Structuring fees paid to the liquidity provider upon the creation of an SPV are recorded as debt issuance costs and are being amortized as interest expense to the expected maturity of the related trust. Unamortized structuring fees related to a terminated SPV are recorded as a realized loss on extinguishment of debt. At November 30, 2018, the amounts of the Trusts’ Floating Rate Notes and related interest rates and collateral were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

For the year ended November 30, 2018, the Trusts’ average settled Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the average interest rate, including fees and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Trust | | | Massachusetts Trust | | | Michigan Trust | | | New Jersey Trust | | | New York Trust | | | Ohio Trust | | | Pennsylvania Trust | |

Average Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 27,954,397 | | | $ | 9,073,507 | | | $ | 6,113,370 | | | $ | 12,745,425 | | | $ | 28,199,644 | | | $ | 10,558,644 | | | $ | 9,846,521 | |

Average Interest Rate | | | 1.99 | % | | | 2.04 | % | | | 2.10 | % | | | 2.06 | % | | | 2.03 | % | | | 2.08 | % | | | 2.04 | % |
In certain circumstances, the Trusts may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with brokers by which a Trust agrees to reimburse the broker for the difference between the liquidation value of the Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Trusts had no shortfalls as of November 30, 2018.
The Trusts may also purchase residual interest bonds in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Trusts’ investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Trusts’ investment policies do not allow the Trusts to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Management believes that the Trusts’ restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Trusts’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Trusts’ restrictions apply. Residual interest bonds held by the Trusts are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
H Financial Futures Contracts— Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Trust is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Trust each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Trust. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Trust may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.
I When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Trusts may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Trusts maintain cash and/or security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis aremarked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
J Statement of Cash Flows — The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of a Trust is the amount included in the Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the unrestricted cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
2 Auction Preferred Shares
Each Trust issued Auction Preferred Shares (APS) on March 1, 1999 in a public offering. Dividends on the APS, which accrued daily, were cumulative at rates which were reset every seven days by an auction, unless a special dividend period had been set. Beginning February 13, 2008 and consistent with the patterns in the broader market for auction-rate securities, the Trusts’ APS auctions were unsuccessful in clearing due to an imbalance of sell orders over bids to buy the APS. As a result, the dividend rates were reset to the maximum rate, which was 110% (150% for taxable distributions) of the greater of the 1) “AA” Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate or 2) Taxable Equivalent of the Short-Term Municipal Obligation Rate on the date of the auction. The stated spread over the reference benchmark rate was determined based on the credit rating of the APS. On March 26, 2018, each Trust redeemed all of its outstanding APS at a liquidation price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued but unpaid APS dividends. Each Trust replaced its APS with residual interest bond financing (see Note 1G). Prior to the redemption of the APS, the Trusts paid an annual fee equivalent to 0.15% of the liquidation value of the APS to broker/dealers as a service fee if the auctions were unsuccessful; otherwise, the annual fee was 0.25%. At November 30, 2018, the Trusts had no APS outstanding.
During the year ended November 30, 2018, the number of APS redeemed and their redemption amount were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Trust | | | Massachusetts Trust | | | Michigan Trust | | | New Jersey Trust | |

There were no transactions in APS during the year ended November 30, 2017.
3 Institutional MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
On February 26, 2016, each Trust issued Institutional MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (iMTP Shares) in a private offering to finance a tender offer for its outstanding APS.

The iMTP Shares were a form of preferred shares that represented stock of the Trusts. The iMTP Shares had a par value of $0.01 per share, a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, and a mandatory redemption date of September 1, 2019, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by a Trust. Dividends on the iMTP Shares were determined weekly based upon the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Index Rate plus a spread. Such spread to the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index Rate was determined based on the current credit rating of the iMTP Shares.
The iMTP Shares were subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. After February 28, 2017, the iMTP Shares were redeemable at the option of each Trust at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends and, on redemptions prior to March 1, 2018, plus an optional redemption premium. The iMTP Shares were also subject to mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends (mandatory redemption price), if a Trust was in default for an extended period on its asset maintenance requirements with respect to its preferred shares. For so long as the iMTP Shares were outstanding, a Trust’s effective leverage ratio was not permitted to exceed 45%.
The holders of the iMTP Shares and common shares had equal voting rights of one vote per share except that the holders of the iMTP Shares were entitled to elect two Trustees of each Trust. If the dividends on the iMTP Shares remained unpaid in an amount equal to two full years’ dividends, the holders of the iMTP Shares had the right to elect a majority of each Trust’s Trustees.
During the year ended November 30, 2018, each Trust redeemed all of its iMTP Shares at a liquidation price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Each Trust replaced its iMTP Shares redeemed with residual interest bond financing (see Note 1G). The number of iMTP Shares redeemed and their redemption amount were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Trust | | | Massachusetts Trust | | | Michigan

Redemption Amount | | $ | 29,600,000 | | | $ | 18,400,000 | | | $ | 16,975,000 | |
Dividends accrued on iMTP Shares are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes and are included in interest expense and fees on the Statements of Operations. Costs incurred by each Trust in connection with its offering of iMTP Shares were capitalized as deferred offering costs and were being amortized to the mandatory redemption date of September 1, 2019. Unamortized deferred offerings costs on iMTP Shares which were redeemed in full by a Trust were recorded as realized loss on extinguishment of debt.
The average liquidation preference of the iMTP Shares during the year ended November 30, 2018 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Trust | | | Massachusetts Trust | | | Michigan Trust | | | New Jersey Trust | |

4 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
Each Trust intends to make monthly distributions of net investment income to common shareholders, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding APS and iMTP Shares during periods when APS and iMTP Shares were outstanding. In addition, at least annually, each Trust intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years). Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. Distributions to APS shareholders were recorded daily and were payable at the end of each dividend period. The amount of dividends accrued (including capital gains, if any) to APS shareholders, average APS dividend rates, and dividend rate ranges for the year ended November 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Average iMTP Dividend Rates | | | 2.83 | % | | | 2.81 | % | | | 2.81 | % |
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.
The tax character of distributions declared, including distributions on iMTP Shares that are treated as interest expense for financial reporting purposes, for the years ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 was as follows:

At November 30, 2018, the following Trusts, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards and deferred capital losses which would reduce the respective Trust’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 Trusts of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Under tax regulations, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 2010 are considered deferred capital losses and are treated as arising on the first day of a Trust’s next taxable year, retaining the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Deferred capital losses are required to be used prior to capital loss carryforwards, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards, whose character is short-term, and the amounts of the deferred capital losses are as follows:

5 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to each Trust. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreements between the Trusts and EVM, the investment advisory fee payable by each Trust is 0.70% of the Trust’s average weekly gross assets and is payable monthly. Pursuant to a fee reduction agreement between each Trust and EVM that commenced on May 1, 2010, the annual investment adviser fee is reduced by 0.015% every May 1 thereafter for the next nineteen years. This annual fee reduction was accelerated for California Trust (effective June 1, 2018), Massachusetts Trust, New Jersey Trust (effective February 1, 2018), New York Trust, Michigan Trust (effective July 1, 2018), Ohio Trust (effective January 1, 2018) and Pennsylvania Trust (effective August 1, 2018), each of which is currently subject to an advisory fee of 0.40% of average weekly gross assets. The fee reductions cannot be terminated or reduced without the approval of a majority vote of the Trustees of the Trusts who are not interested persons of EVM or each Trust and by a vote of a majority of shareholders. Average weekly gross assets include the principal amount of any indebtedness for money borrowed, including debt securities issued by a Trust, and the amount of any outstanding preferred shares issued by the Trust. Pursuant to a fee reduction agreement with EVM, average weekly gross assets are calculated by adding to net assets the liquidation value of a Trust’s APS and iMTP Shares then outstanding and the amount payable by the Trust to floating rate note holders, such adjustment being limited to the value of the APS outstanding prior to any APS redemptions by the Trust. The administration fee is earned by EVM for administering the business affairs of each Trust and is computed at an annual rate of 0.20% of each Trust’s average weekly gross assets. For the year ended November 30, 2018, the investment adviser fees and administration fees were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Trust | | | Massachusetts Trust | | | Michigan Trust | | | New Jersey Trust | |
| | | | |
Investment Adviser Fee | | $ | 739,406 | | | $ | 240,141 | | | $ | 233,063 | | | $ | 421,202 | |

Trustees and officers of the Trusts who are members of EVM’s organization receive remuneration for their services to the Trusts out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Trusts who are not affiliated with EVM 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 November 30, 2018, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Trusts are officers of EVM.
6 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, for the year ended November 30, 2018 were as follows:

7 Common Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Trusts may issue common shares pursuant to their dividend reinvestment plans. There were no common shares issued by the Trusts for the years ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017.
On November 11, 2013, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts authorized the repurchase by each Trust of up to 10% of its then currently outstanding common shares in open-market transactions at a discount to net asset value (NAV). The repurchase program does not obligate the Trusts to purchase a specific amount of shares. During the year ended November 30, 2018, the California Trust repurchased 121,000 of its common shares under the share repurchase program at a cost, including brokerage commissions, of $1,478,804 and an average price per share of $12.22. The weighted average discount per share to NAV on these repurchases amounted to 11.81% for the year ended November 30, 2018.
There were no repurchases of common shares by the Trusts for the year ended November 30, 2017.
8 Overdraft Advances
Pursuant to the custodian agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Trusts to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft, the Trusts are obligated to repay SSBT at the current rate of interest charged by SSBT for secured loans (currently, the Federal Funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to SSBT. SSBT has a lien on a Trust’s assets to the extent of any overdraft. At November 30, 2018, the Ohio Trust had a payment due to SSBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement of $4,364. Based on the short-term nature of these payments and the variable interest rate, the carrying value of the overdraft advances approximated its fair value at November 30, 2018. If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 10) at November 30, 2018. The Trusts’ average overdraft advances during the year ended November 30, 2018 were not significant.
9 Financial Instruments
The Trusts may trade in financial instruments withoff-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities. These financial instruments may include 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 a Trust has in particular classes of financial instruments and do 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. At November 30, 2018, there were no obligations outstanding under these financial instruments.
Each Trust is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Trusts hold fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. During the year ended November 30, 2018, the New Jersey Trust and Pennsylvania Trust entered into U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.

10 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 November 30, 2018, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Trusts’ investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance Michigan Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Trust, and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipal Income Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance Michigan Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance New Jersey Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Trust, Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Trust, and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipal Income Trust, (collectively, the “Trusts”), including the portfolios of investments, as of November 30, 2018, the related statements of operations and cash flows 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 Trusts as of November 30, 2018, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their 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 Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trusts’ 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 Trusts 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 Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their 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 Trusts’ 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 November 30, 2018, 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.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 11 of the financial statements, which describes Agreements and Plans of Reorganization for certain of the Trusts. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Each Trust offers a dividend reinvestment plan (Plan) pursuant to which shareholders automatically have distributions reinvested in common shares (Shares) of the Trust unless they elect otherwise through their investment dealer. On the distribution payment date, if the NAV per Share is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, then new Shares will be issued. The number of Shares shall be determined by the greater of the NAV per Share or 95% of the market price. Otherwise, Shares generally will be purchased on the open market by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the Plan agent (Agent). Distributions subject to income tax (if any) are taxable whether or not Shares are reinvested.
If your Shares are in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you can ask the firm or nominee to participate in the Plan on your behalf. If the nominee does not offer the Plan, you will need to request that the Trust’s transfer agentre-register your Shares in your name or you will not be able to participate.
The Agent’s service fee for handling distributions will be paid by the Trust. Plan participants will be charged their pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market purchases.
Plan participants may withdraw from the Plan at any time by writing to the Agent at the address noted on the following page. If you withdraw, you will receive Shares in your name for all Shares credited to your account under the Plan. If a participant elects by written notice to the Agent to sell part or all of his or her Shares and remit the proceeds, the Agent is authorized to deduct a $5.00 fee plus brokerage commissions from the proceeds.
If you wish to participate in the Plan and your Shares are held in your own name, you may complete the form on the following page and deliver it to the Agent. Any inquiries regarding the Plan can be directed to the Agent at1-866-439-6787.

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 recent12-month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling1-800-262-1122 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments
Please see schedule of investments contained in the Report to Stockholders included under Item 1 of this FormN-CSR.
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures forClosed-End Management Investment Companies
The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a proxy voting policy and procedure (the “Fund Policy”), pursuant to which the Trustees have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Fund’s investment adviser and adopted the investment adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Policies”) which are described below. The Trustees will review the Fund’s proxy voting records from time to time and will annually consider approving the Policies for the upcoming year. In the event that a conflict of interest arises between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the investment adviser will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such conflict until it consults with the Board’s Special Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy. The Board’s Special Committee will instruct the investment adviser on the appropriate course of action.
The Policies are designed to promote accountability of a company’s management to its shareholders and to align the interests of management with those shareholders. An independent proxy voting service (“Agent”), currently Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., has been retained to assist in the voting of proxies through the provision of vote analysis, implementation and recordkeeping and disclosure services. The investment adviser will generally vote proxies through the Agent. The Agent is required to vote all proxies and/or refer them back to the investment adviser pursuant to the Policies. It is generally the policy of the investment adviser to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Agent. The Agent shall refer to the investment adviser proxies relating to mergers and restructurings, and the disposition of assets, termination, liquidation and mergers contained in mutual fund proxies. The investment adviser will normally vote against anti-takeover measures and other proposals designed to limit the ability of shareholders to act on possible transactions, except in the case ofclosed-end management investment companies. The investment adviser generally supports management on social and environmental proposals. The investment adviser may abstain from voting from time to time where it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweighs the benefits derived from exercising the right to vote or the economic effect on shareholders interests or the value of the portfolio holding is indeterminable or insignificant.
In addition, the investment adviser will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and prospective corporate clients. The investment adviser’s personnel responsible for reviewing and voting proxies on behalf of the Fund will report any proxy received or expected to be received from a company included on that list to the personnel of the investment adviser identified in the Policies. If such personnel expects to instruct the Agent to vote such proxies in a manner inconsistent with the guidelines of the Policies or the recommendation of the Agent, the personnel will consult with members of senior management of the investment adviser to determine if a material conflict of interests exists. If it is determined that a material conflict does exist, the investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Special Committee.
Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling1-800-262-1122, and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website athttp://www.sec.gov.

Potential for Conflicts of Interest. It is possible that conflicts of interest may arise in connection with a portfolio manager’s management of the Fund’s investments on the one hand and the investments of other accounts for which a portfolio manager is responsible on the other. For example, a portfolio manager may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, resources and investment opportunities among the Fund and other accounts he or she advises. In addition, due to differences in the investment strategies or restrictions between the Fund and the other accounts, the portfolio manager may take action with respect to another account that differs from the action taken with respect to the Fund. In some cases, another account managed by a portfolio manager may compensate the investment adviser based on the performance of the securities held by that account. The existence of such a performance based fee may create additional conflicts of interest for the portfolio manager in the allocation of management time, resources and investment opportunities. Whenever conflicts of interest arise, the portfolio manager will endeavor to exercise his or her discretion in a manner that he or she believes is equitable to all interested persons. EVM has adopted several policies and procedures designed to address these potential conflicts including a code of ethics and policies that govern the investment adviser’s trading practices, including among other things the aggregation and allocation of trades among clients, brokerage allocations, cross trades and best execution.
Compensation Structure for EVM
Compensation of EVM’s portfolio managers and other investment professionals has three primary components: (1) a base salary, (2) an annual cash bonus, (3) annualnon-cash compensation consisting of options to purchase shares of EVC nonvoting common stock and/or restricted shares of EVC nonvoting common stock that generally are subject to a vesting schedule and (4) (for equity portfolio managers) a Deferred Alpha Incentive Plan, which pays a deferred cash award tied to future excess returns in certain equity strategy portfolios. EVM’s investment professionals also receive certain retirement, insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to EVM’s employees. Compensation of EVM’s investment professionals is reviewed primarily on an annual basis. Cash bonuses, stock-based compensation awards, and adjustments in base salary are typically paid or put into effect at or shortly after the October 31st fiscal year end of EVC.
Method to Determine Compensation. EVM compensates its portfolio managers based primarily on the scale and complexity of their portfolio responsibilities and the total return performance of managed funds and accounts versus the benchmark(s) stated in the prospectus, as well as an appropriate peer group (as described below). In addition to rankings within peer groups of funds on the basis of absolute performance, consideration may also be given to relative risk-adjusted performance. Risk-adjusted performance measures include, but are not limited to, the Sharpe Ratio (Sharpe Ratio uses standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk). Performance is normally based on periods ending on the September 30th preceding fiscal year end. Fund performance is normally evaluated primarily versus peer groups of funds as determined by Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar, Inc. When a fund’s peer group as determined by Lipper or Morningstar is deemed by EVM’s management not to provide a fair comparison, performance may instead be evaluated primarily against a custom peer group or market index. In evaluating the performance of a fund and its manager, primary emphasis is normally placed on three-year performance, with secondary consideration of performance over longer and shorter periods. For funds that aretax-managed or otherwise have an objective ofafter-tax returns, performance is measured net of taxes. For other funds, performance is evaluated on apre-tax basis. For funds with an investment objective other than total return (such as current income), consideration will also be given to the fund’s success in achieving its objective. For managers responsible for multiple funds and accounts, investment performance is evaluated on an aggregate basis, based on averages or weighted averages among managed funds and accounts. Funds and accounts that have performance-based advisory fees are not accorded disproportionate weightings in measuring aggregate portfolio manager performance. A portion of the compensation payable to equity portfolio managers and investment professionals will be determined based on
the ability of one or more accounts managed by such manager to achieve a specified target average annual gross return over a three year period in excess of the account benchmark. The cash award to be payable at the end of the three year term will be established at the inception of the term and will be adjusted positively or negatively to the extent that the average annual gross return varies from the specified target return.
The compensation of portfolio managers with other job responsibilities (such as heading an investment group or providing analytical support to other portfolios) includes consideration of the scope of such responsibilities and the managers’ performance in meeting them.
EVM seeks to compensate portfolio managers commensurate with their responsibilities and performance, and competitive with other firms within the investment management industry. EVM participates in investment-industry compensation surveys and utilizes survey data as a factor in determining salary, bonus and stock-based compensation levels for portfolio managers and other investment professionals. Salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation are also influenced by the operating performance of EVM and its parent company. The overall annual cash bonus pool is generally based on a substantially fixed percentage ofpre-bonus adjusted operating income. While the salaries of EVM’s portfolio managers are comparatively fixed, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may fluctuate significantly from year to year, based on changes in manager performance and other factors as described herein. For a high performing portfolio manager, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may represent a substantial portion of total compensation.
