IMPORTANT NOTICES
Privacy. The Eaton Vance organization is committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (Privacy Policy) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
| | |
| • | Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Eaton Vance fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions. |
|
| • | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Eaton Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker/dealers. |
|
| • | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
|
| • | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Boston Management and Research, and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. Our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial adviser/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such adviser’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122. This description is also available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
 Thomas H. Luster, CFA Co-Portfolio Manager | | • | | The 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, opened with early signs of economic recovery and significantly less volatility in the credit markets than in the previous period. Economic growth, while slow, returned during the period, with GDP (gross domestic product) for all four quarters posting positive results. |
|
 Maria C. Cappellano Co-Portfolio Manager | | • | | Throughout the year, the Federal Reserve held policy rates between 0.00% and 0.25%, acknowledging the slow pace of economic recovery and employment, as well as the relative stability of the inflation outlook. The Fed also telegraphed its intention to institute a second round of quantitative easing, which would entail purchasing significant amounts of longer- term Treasury securities in an effort to accelerate economic recovery. |
Management Discussion
• | | During the last year, the Fund completed its transition to a government money market fund as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) implemented sweeping reform to the rules that govern the universe of money market funds. As of October 31, 2010, the Fund was primarily invested in U.S. Government agency bonds and U.S. Treasury obligations. Among other mandates, the SEC reform created new liquidity requirements and a shorter weighted average maturity, reducing the Fund’s yield as demand for shorter maturity securities increased. |
|
• | | If the current low-rate environment and the Fed’s target rate of 0.00% to 0.25% continue, the ability of the Fund and its peers to generate positive yield will remain limited. |
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. Portfolio information provided in the report may not be representative of the Fund’s current or future investments and may change due to active management.
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.

1 | | Average Annual Total Returns do not include the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If the sales charge were deducted, the returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class B reflect the maximum applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% - 1st and 2nd years; 4% - 3rd year; 3% - 4th year; 2% - 5th year; 1% - 6th year. SEC returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year. Class A shares are offered at net asset value. Although the Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. |

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (if applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund as of October 31, 2010
FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on April 30, 2010. | |

| ** | Absent an allocation of certain expenses to affiliates, expenses would be higher. | |

Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Cash Management Fund) (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a rate of income as may be consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. Prior to February 27, 2010, the Fund invested all of its investable assets in interests in Cash Management Portfolio (the Portfolio), a New York trust managed by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), having the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. As of the close of business on February 26, 2010, the Fund received its pro rata share of cash and securities from the Portfolio as part of a complete liquidation of the Portfolio (see Note 9). As of March 1, 2010, the Fund invests directly in securities. The Fund offers three classes of shares. The Fund’s shares outstanding as of the close of business on December 4, 2010 and prior to the offering of additional share classes, were designated as Class A shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value with no front-end sales charge. Class B and Class C shares are only offered in exchange for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, of other Eaton Vance funds. Class B and Class C shares are offered at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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.
A Investment Valuation — The Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Fund must comply with certain conditions. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, the Fund may value its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
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 — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Prior to February 27, 2010, the net investment income or loss consisted of the Fund’s pro rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio, less all actual and accrued expenses of the Fund.
D Federal Taxes — The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $204,398 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2016. During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $22,941 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E 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.
F Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the
11
Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net investment income of the Fund is determined daily, and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared daily as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:

3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by BMR as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and is payable monthly. On net assets of $1 billion or more, the annual fee is reduced. Prior to February 27, 2010 when the Fund’s assets were invested in the Portfolio, the Fund was allocated its share of the Portfolio’s adviser fee. The Portfolio paid advisory fees to BMR on the same fee schedule as that of the Fund as described above. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s allocated portion of the adviser fee paid by the Portfolio totaled $274,045 and the adviser fee paid by the Fund amounted to $630,491. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s investment adviser fee, including the adviser fee allocated from the Portfolio, was 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. BMR has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees or reimburse expenses of the Fund (and prior to February 27, 2010, of the Portfolio) to the extent necessary to maintain a yield of not less than zero. For the year ended October 31, 2010, BMR waived investment adviser fees and reimbursed expenses of the Fund of $731,050. In addition, the Fund’s allocated portion of the fee waiver and expense reimbursement by BMR from the Portfolio was $173,812. The Fund’s distributor also waived its fees (see Note 4). EVM serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $8,145 in sub-transfer agent fees. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, also

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
receives distribution and service fees from Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund 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 October 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. On issuance of Class B and Class C shares of the Fund in exchange for shares of an Eaton Vance fund, the respective class will assume a portion of the Uncovered Distribution Charges associated with the shares so exchanged. Uncovered Distribution Charges are generally equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by an Eaton Vance fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund accrued to EVD $223,277 and $60,768 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% (annualized) of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, all of which were voluntarily waived by EVD. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $14,648,000 and $1,025,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. The Trustees approved service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class B and Class C shares. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $44,655 and $12,154 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, all of which were waived by EVD.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
Class B and Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) at the original CDSC rate that such shares were subject to prior to their exchange into the Fund. A CDSC generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within three to six years of purchase, depending on the fund from which shares were exchanged, at declining rates that begin at 5% and 3%, respectively. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. Generally, the CDSC is based on the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $75,000 and $6,000 of CDSCs paid by Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, including maturities, and other than investments acquired in the transfer of assets from the Portfolio as described below, for the year ended October 31, 2010 were as follows:

Included in decreases is $157,294,661, representing the Fund’s interest in the Portfolio as of the close of business on February 26, 2010, which was exchanged for cash and securities of the Portfolio on that date having the same cost and value.

7 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended October 31, 2010.
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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

9 Reorganization
As of the close of business on February 26, 2010, the Fund acquired the net assets of Eaton Vance Money Market Fund (Money Market Fund) pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Trustees of the Trust. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 62,345,364 shares of Class B of the Fund (valued at $62,345,364) for the same number of shares of the Money Market Fund, each outstanding on February 26, 2010. Money Market Fund’s investment in the Portfolio, with a fair value (and identified cost) of $62,450,436 was the principal asset acquired by the Fund. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $156,915,818. The net assets of Money Market Fund at that date of $62,345,364 were combined with those of the Fund, resulting in combined net assets of $219,261,182.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2009, the beginning of the Fund’s annual reporting period, the Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2010 are as follows:
| | | | | | |
Net investment loss | | $ | (9,257 | ) | | |
Net realized gains | | $ | 32,262 | | | |
Net increase in net assets from operations | | $ | 23,005 | | | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Money Market Fund that have been included in the Fund’s Statement of Operations since February 27, 2010.
10 Name Change
Effective March 1, 2010, the name of the Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund was changed from Eaton Vance Cash Management Fund. The name change was made in connection with a change to the Fund’s investment policies to provide that it will invest substantially all of its net assets in obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund (formerly Eaton Vance Cash Management Fund):
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund (formerly Eaton Vance Cash Management Fund) (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from January 1, 2007, to October 31, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights in their report dated February 21, 2007.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 three years in the period then ended and the period from January 1, 2007, to October 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Eaton Vance U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. The Board considered the Adviser’s experience in managing portfolios consisting of high quality money market instruments and short-term obligations. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Fund, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

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

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
Duncan W. Richardson, CFA
Portfolio Manager
• | | U.S. equity markets seesawed their way to solid gains for the year ending October 31, 2010. Over the course of the year, investors’ attitudes toward risk were buffeted by unsettling macroeconomic factors and political uncertainty. In fact, until the final few months of the period, the markets continued to exhibit the general lack of confidence and ongoing volatility that has characterized the equity space through most of the past two years. |
|
• | | Domestic equities made a strong start to the period but pulled back in the April-June period, as sovereign debt problems in the eurozone, slower growth in China and a turbulent U.S. political environment chilled investor sentiment. Despite these macro concerns, however, signs of economic growth, albeit somewhat anemic, and improvements in corporate business fundamentals also began to appear. By September and October, investors seemed to have grown more comfortable with risk tolerance, and equities began to establish some traction to the upside. |
|
• | | For the year as a whole, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.52%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 17.62% and the NASDAQ Composite Index was up 23.88%. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks across all market capitalizations, and mid- and small-cap stocks outpaced large-cap stocks. |
Management Discussion
• | | Against this backdrop, the Fund1 underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index (the Index),2 for the year ending October 31, 2010, as well as the average return of funds in its peer group — the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Classification. The Fund’s performance is a function of the performance of the underlying Portfolios in which it invests, as well as its allocation among these Portfolios. |
|
• | | Although the Fund’s international equity allocation was reduced in April 2010, its still-significant weighting relative to the Index, which has no international stock exposure, detracted from performance. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI Europe, Australasia Far East (EAFE) Index, significantly underperformed their U.S. counterparts, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, for the year. |
|
• | | Conversely, the Fund’s overweighting versus the Index in smid-cap stocks was beneficial to the Fund’s relative performance. |

See pages 3 and 4 for more performance information, including after-tax returns.
| | |
1 | | The Fund currently invests all of its investable assets in seven separate registered investment companies (Portfolios) managed by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliates. |
|
2 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
|
3 | | These returns do not include the 5.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
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.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | Management made other adjustments to the Fund’s target allocations in April 2010 relative to its targets as of October 31, 2009. In addition to the 1% decrease from Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio, there was a 2% decrease in the allocation to Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio. The decreases were offset by increases of approximately 1.5% each to Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio and Tax-Managed Value Portfolio. |
|
• | | In allocating Fund assets among the underlying Portfolios, management seeks to maintain broad diversification1 and to emphasize market sectors that we believe offer relatively attractive risk-adjusted return prospects, based on an assessment of current and future market trends and conditions. We continue to believe that the Fund’s multi-cap and multi-style asset exposure can provide investors with diversification and the potential for lower volatility. To the extent possible, adjustments in allocations among the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Portfolios will be made in a tax-efficient manner. |
|
• | | As always, I would like to thank my fellow shareholders for their continued confidence and participation in the Fund. |
| | |

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class A of the Fund with that of the Russell 3000 Index, an unmanaged index of the 3,000 largest U.S. stocks. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each of Class A and the Russell 3000 Index. Class A total returns are presented at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The table includes the total returns of each Class of the Fund at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

* | | Source: Lipper Inc. Class A of the Fund commenced investment operations on 3/4/02.
A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class B shares and Class C shares on 3/4/02 (commencement of operations) would have been valued at $13,186 and $13,163, respectively, on 10/31/10. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. |

Class A, Class B and Class C of the Fund commenced investment operations on 3/4/02. Returns at Public Offering Price (POP) reflect the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge and applicable CDSC, while Returns at Net Asset Value (NAV) do not.
After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held by non-taxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions for a period may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period, or because the taxable portion of distributions made during the period was insignificant. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be greater than or equal to Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund as of October 31, 2010
FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on April 30, 2010. The Example reflects expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolios. | |

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term, after tax returns. The Fund currently pursues its objective by investing all of its investable assets in interests in the following seven tax-managed equity portfolios managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) or its affiliates: Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio, Tax-Managed Value Portfolio, Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio, Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio, Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Portfolio, Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio and Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio (the Portfolios), which are Massachusetts business trusts. The value of the Fund’s investments in the Portfolios reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio, Tax-Managed Value Portfolio, Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio, Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio, Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Portfolio, Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio and Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio (1.5%, 6.1%, 43.8%, 44.3%, 42.9%, 21.0% and 49.8%, respectively, at October 31, 2010). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolios. A copy of each Portfolio’s financial statements is available on the EDGAR database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov), at the Commission’s public reference room in Washington, DC or upon request from the Fund’s principal underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), by calling 1-800-262-1122.
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.
A Investment Valuation — The valuation policy of each Portfolio is as follows: Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments 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 Portfolio in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or 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 all 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
11
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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.
The Portfolios may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund) and Eaton Vance Cash Collateral Fund, LLC (Cash Collateral Fund), affiliated investment companies managed by EVM. Cash Reserves Fund and Cash Collateral Fund generally value their investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund and Cash Collateral Fund may value their investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
B Income — The Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’s pro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolios and other income, 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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $41,053,006 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2017.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $44,194,150 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) of all or substantially all of its net investment income and to
12
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
distribute annually all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 3,000,796 | | | $ | 1,356,903 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was increased by $434,065, accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $1,518,245 and paid-in capital was decreased by $1,084,180 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs), investments in partnerships, the tax treatment of distributions in excess of net investment income, investments in passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and foreign currency gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (41,053,006 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 61,429,848 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, investments in PFICs, partnership allocations, investments in partnerships and distributions from REITs.
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by EVM as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.75% from $500 million up to $1 billion and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $1 billion or more, and is payable monthly. The investment adviser fee payable by the Fund is reduced by the Fund’s allocable portion of the adviser fees paid by the Portfolios in which it invests. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s investment adviser fee totaled $3,974,253, of which $3,410,224 was allocated from the Portfolios and $564,029 was paid or accrued directly by the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s investment adviser fee, including the fees allocated from the Portfolios, was 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The administration fee is earned by EVM as compensation for administering the business affairs of the Fund and is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $746,233.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $24,413 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that EVD, an affiliate of EVM, received $57,028 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolios who are not members of EVM’s organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolios are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $634,153 for Class A shares.
13
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $423,024 and $1,405,681 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $1,591,000 and $12,550,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $141,008 and $468,561 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $700, $75,000 and $13,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. At October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the Fund’s investments in the Portfolios were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used as significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |

| | |
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
| • | Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds; |
| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser
| | |
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |
| • | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) with Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”), as well as the investment advisory agreements of Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio, Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Portfolio, Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio, Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio, Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio, Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio and Tax-Managed Value Portfolio (the “Portfolios”), the portfolios in which the Fund invests, each with Boston Management and Research (“BMR”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. In addition, the Contract Review Committee concluded that each of the investment sub-advisory agreements between BMR and Atlanta Capital Management Company, LLC (“Atlanta Capital”), with respect to Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Portfolio, between BMR and Eagle Global Advisors, L.L.C. (“Eagle”), with respect to Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio, and between BMR and Fox Asset Management LLC (“Fox”), with respect to Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio, including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreements for the Fund and the Portfolios. EVM and BMR are each referred to as an “Adviser” herein; EVM with respect to the Fund and BMR with respect to the Portfolios. EVM and BMR are affiliates. Eagle, Fox and Atlanta Capital are referred to herein as the “Sub-advisers.” Fox and Atlanta Capital are affiliates of EVM and BMR.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Fund and each Portfolio and the sub-advisory agreement of each relevant Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Portfolio by BMR and to the relevant Portfolio by the Sub-adviser and to the Fund by EVM. BMR manages the Portfolios, while EVM allocates the assets of the Fund among the Portfolios.
The Board considered the Adviser’s and the Sub-adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolios, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolios. The Board specifically noted BMR’s in-house equity research capabilities and experience in managing funds that seek to maximize after-tax returns. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities supervising the relevant Portfolio’s Sub-adviser. For all the Portfolios, the Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund and each Portfolio by senior management. The Board also considered the capabilities of each Sub-adviser.
19
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of EVM and relevant affiliates thereof and of the Sub-adviser. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by EVM and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-advisers, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board also considered the performance of the underlying Portfolios. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolios and the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. The Board considered the fact that with respect to three of the underlying Portfolios, the Adviser had agreed to waive fees and/or pay expenses of the Portfolios in an additional amount.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolios and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolios, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser or the Sub-advisers as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolios and other investment advisory clients. The Board also concluded that, in light of its role as a sub-adviser not affiliated with the Adviser, Eagle’s profitability in managing the Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio was not a material factor.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolios, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolios increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Portfolios and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolios, the structure of the advisory fees, which include breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates, Eagle and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address.

Economic and Market Conditions
• | | In a year characterized by dramatic starts and stops, global equity markets posted solid gains for the year ending October 31, 2010. Following a positive start to the year, investor concerns — including European sovereign risk contagion, credit tightening in China and the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill — blunted global markets’ progress during the April-June period as many investors reduced their exposure to risk-sensitive assets and returned to the sidelines. European and U.S. markets suffered the worst during this period; Asia-Pacific markets fared somewhat better; and emerging markets, as a whole, outperformed developed markets but still recorded losses. |
• | | The July-September period brought yet another change of direction, however, as global stocks rebounded on strengthening economic data and attractive valuations. Despite ongoing macro concerns worldwide, many economies began to show signs of growth: U.S. corporate business fundamentals made some positive advancements, the sovereign debt situation in southern Europe showed improvement, and the euro and other currencies strengthened versus the U.S. dollar. By September and October, investors worldwide seemed to have grown more comfortable with risk tolerance, and equities began to establish some traction to the upside. |
|
• | | For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, the MSCI World Index returned 12.74%. Meanwhile, the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index advanced 8.36%, the MSCI All-Country Asia-Pacific Index returned 13.66%, the S&P 500 Index was up 16.52% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 23.56%. |
Management Discussion
• | | Although the Fund1 posted a high single-digit return for the 12 months ending October 31, 2010, this result trailed that of both its benchmark, the MSCI World Index (the Index), and its Lipper peer group.2 This lagging performance versus the Index was due in part to inopportune sector allocation, as well as the underperformance of some of the Fund’s individual holdings. |
|
• | | The Fund’s overweighted exposure to energy — one of the weakest-performing sectors in the Index during the 12-month period — was a major detractor from relative results. Security selection within energy, especially in the oil, gas and consumable fuels industry, also was a drag on the Fund’s relative performance, as many of the stocks in this industry sold off in response to the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this year. An underweight in the information technology sector hurt performance versus the Index, as did security selection within the sector’s computers and peripherals industry. Security selection in the aerospace and defense industry also detracted. |
|
• | | Upside performance versus the Index was aided by security selection within pockets of the materials, |

The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
| | utilities, financials, telecommunication services and industrials sectors. In particular, the Fund benefited from the performance of some of its holdings in the road and rail, insurance and chemicals industries. |
|
• | | Consistent with the Fund’s objective of achieving total return, management maintained its primary focus on investing in dividend-paying common and preferred stocks of companies it believes may produce attractive levels of dividend income. For example, the Fund had overweighted allocations to utilities and energy, sectors that both tend to represent significant numbers of dividend-paying stocks. |

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on April 30, 2010. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio. | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Global Dividend Income Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Dividend Income Fund) (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I and Class R shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Global Dividend Income Portfolio (formerly, Dividend Income 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 (95.4% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $202,060,885 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2014 ($1,311,256), October 31, 2015 ($8,547,018), October 31, 2016 ($89,543,701), October 31, 2017 ($74,538,069) and October 31, 2018 ($28,120,841).
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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
11
Eaton Vance Global Dividend Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make monthly 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, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 26,128,925 | | | $ | 27,165,666 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $66,388 and accumulated undistributed net investment income was decreased by $66,388 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss) and distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITS). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 1,614,632 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (202,060,885 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 59,073,859 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales and partnership allocations.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
The administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $608,972. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $19,216 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $158,506 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class C and Class R shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares
12
Eaton Vance Global Dividend Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $589,469 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class C shares (Class C Plan) and Class R shares (Class R Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class C Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of Class C, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $1,094,022 for Class C shares, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class C Plan was approximately $12,758,000.
The Class R Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD an amount equal to 0.50% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Trustees of the Trust have currently limited Class R distribution payments to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $1,034, representing 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares.
The Class C and Class R Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $364,674 and $1,034 for Class C and Class R shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class C Plan. CDSCs received on Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $700 and $16,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $28,931,994 and $41,266,279, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Global Dividend Income Fund (formerly Eaton Vance Dividend Income Fund):
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Global Dividend Income Fund (formerly Eaton Vance Dividend Income Fund) (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, November 30, 2005, to October 31, 2006. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Global Dividend Income Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, November 30, 2005, to October 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Global Dividend Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Global Dividend Income Portfolio (formerly, Dividend Income 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 total return by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities that pay dividends. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Global Dividend Income Fund held a 95.4% interest 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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. The value of preferred equity securities that are valued by a pricing service on a bond basis will be adjusted by an income factor, to be determined by the investment adviser, to reflect the next anticipated regular dividend. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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, 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 securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Portfolio’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to
24
Global Dividend Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. 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. 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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
I Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Portfolio entered into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contract is adjusted by
25
Global Dividend Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
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. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million and is payable monthly. On average daily net assets of $500 million and over, the annual fee is reduced. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $2,768,100 of which $4,272 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $2,763,828 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.65% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM reimbursed the Portfolio $1,168 for a trading error. The effect of the loss incurred and the reimbursement by EVM of such amount had no impact on total return.
3 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $670,102,077 and $640,183,331, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 363,145,048 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 64,815,083 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (2,045,055 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 62,770,028 | | | |
|
|
The net unrealized appreciation on foreign currency transactions at October 31, 2010 on a federal income tax basis was $251,745.
5 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and 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.
The Portfolio is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Portfolio holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against this risk, the Portfolio entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Portfolio also entered into such contracts to hedge the currency risk of investments it anticipated purchasing.
The non-exchange traded derivatives in which the Fund may invest, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract.
At October 31, 2010, there were no obligations outstanding under these financial instruments.
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is foreign exchange risk for the year ended October 31, 2010 was as follows:

The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $26,692,000.
6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
7 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Global Dividend Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Global Dividend Income Portfolio (formerly Dividend Income Portfolio):
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Global Dividend Income Portfolio (formerly Dividend Income Portfolio) (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, March 24, 2006 to October 31, 2006. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Dividend Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, March 24, 2006 to October 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Global Dividend Income Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Dividend Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Dividend Income Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board noted that appropriate actions are being taken by the Adviser to improve Fund performance and concluded that additional time is required to evaluate the effectiveness of such actions.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and by the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees, and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Fund, the structure of the Portfolio advisory fee, which include breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.

You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund as of October 31 , 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
| | | | |
Mark S. Venezia, CFA Co-Portfolio Manager | | John R. Baur Co-Portfolio Manager | | Michael A. Cirami, CFA Co-Portfolio Manager |
• | | During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, the strongest returns in the global credit markets were generated by the riskier assets, including the emerging markets. Credit spreads were tighter across most of the U.S. credit markets for the 12-month period, with the strongest performance produced during the first six months. In the U.S. fixed-income markets, positive returns during the last six months were primarily the result of a rally in U.S. Treasuries, accompanied by only modest spread widening. For the fiscal year, yields fell across the U.S. Treasury curve, with the 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year bond yields declining by 55, 114, and 78 basis points, respectively. |
• | | Turning to the global currency markets, the euro depreciated by more than 5% versus the U.S. dollar during the period; however, most other currencies across the developed and emerging markets, including the Japanese yen, appreciated significantly. Currency appreciation was widespread for the period, including significant appreciation in emerging Asia and Latin America (against the dollar) and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa (against the euro). |
• | | For the 12-month period, among the most notable developments were the problems in Europe, as markets increasingly focused on the fiscal problems in Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. The first half of the period produced consistent negative headlines out of Greece, resulting in both increased volatility and significant credit spread widening in those four countries. |
• | | Globally, economic data released during the first six months of the period provided evidence of economic recovery, particularly in the emerging markets. Specifically, the global economic recovery was led by Asia, with a pickup in demand from Europe and the U.S. leading to an export recovery, which had a positive effect on export-oriented countries. Countries in Latin America, with the exception of Venezuela, also grew at varying levels, with Uruguay and Peru amongst the strongest. However, the pace of acceleration in economic activity moderated in the final six months, and the focus shifted to the weakening in the U.S. economy and the anticipation of another round of quantitative easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund1 seeks to provide total return by investing in securities, derivatives, and other instruments to establish long and short investment exposures to emerging markets. In this connection, the Fund invests at least 80% of total net assets in securities denominated in currencies of emerging-market countries, fixed-income instruments issued by emerging market entities or sovereigns, and/or derivative instruments, denominated in or based on the currencies, interest rates, or issues of, emerging market countries. |

|
2 | | Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. |
|
3 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares underperformed its benchmark, the JPMorgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Market Global Diversified (Unhedged) (the Index). The Fund’s underperformance was primarily driven by the underweighting of duration in key countries relative to the Index. The Fund had less exposure to bonds, in favor of currency or other interest-rate positions, in many of the countries represented in the Index. As a result, the portion of the Fund’s duration contributed from bond investments in the largest emerging-market countries was significantly lower than that of the Index (i.e., “the underweighting of duration”). With the exception of Turkey, the Fund underperformed in each of the countries representing the largest weights (approximately 10%) in the Index. |
|
• | | The regions representing the greatest source of underperformance relative to the benchmark were Asia and Eastern Europe. In Asia, short duration relative to the benchmark in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand resulted in lower returns. In Eastern Europe, although the Fund’s positions in inflation-linked bonds in Turkey outperformed the government bond positions in the Index, underperformance in Poland and Russia, combined with negative performance from an off-benchmark (i.e., not included in the Index) position in Macedonia, resulted in less robust regional returns for that region. |
|
• | | Within Latin America, the Fund’s off-benchmark positions in Uruguay and the Dominican Republic helped to boost the return in that region, closely matching the region’s return in the Index. |
|
• | | The Fund’s duration increased to 5.42 years as of October 31, 2010, from 4.54 years as of October 31, 2009. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a fund or a fixed-income security to changes in interest rates. A shorter duration instrument normally has less exposure to interest rate risk than longer duration instruments. |

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class A of the Fund with that of the JPMorgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Market Global Diversified (Unhedged) (the JPMorgan GBI-EM Index), an unmanaged index of local currency bonds with maturities of more than one year issued by emerging markets governments. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each of Class A of the Fund and the JPMorgan GBI-EM Index. Class A total returns are presented at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The table includes the total returns of each Class of the Fund at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The actual expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010) for Class A and Class I, and (August 3, 2010 – October 31, 2010) for Class C. The hypothetical expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the one-half year period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Emerging Markets Local Income 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 (61.9% at October 31, 2010). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The consolidated financial statements of the Portfolio, including the consolidated 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.
A Investment Valuation — Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
B Income — The Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’s pro-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.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $500,426 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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
10
Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,203,225 | | | $ | 189,242 | | | |
Long-term capital gains | | $ | 478,482 | | | $ | — | | | |
Tax return of capital | | $ | 326,737 | | | $ | — | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $280,036, accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $240,800 and paid-in capital was decreased by $520,836 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss), swap contracts, premium amortization, paydown gain (loss) and the tax treatment of distributions in excess of net investment income. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 3,363,063 | | | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (260,493 | ) | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders, swap contracts, foreign currency transactions, tax accounting for straddle transactions, options contracts, futures contracts, wash sales, partnership allocations and premium amortization.
3 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 the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets that are not invested in other investment companies for which EVM or its affiliates serve as investment adviser or administrator (“Investable Assets”) up to $1 billion and is payable monthly. On Investable Assets of $1 billion and over, the annual fee is reduced. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund incurred no investment adviser fee on Investable Assets. To the extent the Fund’s assets are invested in the Portfolio, the Fund is allocated its share of the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. EVM also serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that they exceed 1.25%, 1.95% and 0.95% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after February 28, 2012. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM was allocated $154,778 of the Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2010.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $744 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $151,420 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received
11
Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.30% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $96,358 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class C Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $18,914 for Class C shares representing 0.75% (annualized) of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
The Class C Plan also authorizes the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $6,305 for Class C shares.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received $394 of CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders and no CDSCs paid by Class C shareholders.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $251,585,714 and $15,089,141, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds
Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Emerging
Markets Local Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, 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, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, June 27, 2007, to October 31, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, June 27, 2007, to October 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Portfolio’s investment objective is to seek total return. Total return is defined as income plus capital appreciation. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund, Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund and Eaton Vance International (Cayman Islands) Strategic Income Fund held an interest of 61.9%, 33.0% and 5.1%, respectively, in the Portfolio.
The Portfolio seeks to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in Eaton Vance EMLIP Commodity Subsidiary, Ltd. (Subsidiary), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Portfolio organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands with the same objective and investment policies and restrictions as the Portfolio. The Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The net assets of the Subsidiary at October 31, 2010 were $2,796,165 or 0.7% of the Portfolio’s consolidated net assets. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Subsidiary, which commenced operations in May 2010. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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.
A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days and excluding most seasoned mortgage-backed securities) 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, 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. Most seasoned, fixed rate 30-year mortgage-backed securities are valued through the use of the investment adviser’s matrix pricing system, which takes into account bond prices, yield differentials, anticipated prepayments and interest rates provided by dealers. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less (excluding those that are non-U.S. dollar denominated, which typically are valued by a pricing service or dealer quotes) are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Precious metals are valued at the New York Composite mean quotation reported by Bloomberg at the valuation time. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices at valuation time as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority for U.S. listed options or by the relevant exchange or board of trade for non-U.S. listed options. Over-the-counter options (including options on securities, indices and foreign currencies) are valued by a third party pricing service using techniques that consider factors including the value of the underlying instrument, the volatility of the underlying instrument and the period of time until option expiration. Financial futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Portfolio’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. Interest rate swaps and options on interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such pricing service valuations are based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value using swap rates provided by electronic data services or by broker/dealers. Alternatively, swaptions may be valued at the valuation provided by the counterparty, so determined using the same techniques as those employed by the pricing service. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value
25
Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. 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. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Inflation adjustments to the principal amount of inflation-adjusted bonds and notes are reflected as interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
The Subsidiary is treated as a controlled foreign corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and is not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Portfolio is treated as a U.S. shareholder of the Subsidiary. As a result, the Portfolio is required to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes all of the Subsidiary’s income, whether or not such income is distributed by the Subsidiary. If a net loss is realized by the Subsidiary, such loss is not generally available to offset the income earned by the Portfolio.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
F 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
26
Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
I Financial Futures Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts. The Portfolio’s investment in financial futures contracts is designed for hedging against changes in interest rates or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Portfolio 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.
J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Portfolio enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contract is adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contract has been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K Written Options — Upon the writing of a call or a put option, the premium received by the Portfolio is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written, in accordance with the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Portfolio. The Portfolio, as a writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or other assets may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities or other assets underlying the written option. The Portfolio may also bear the risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.
L Purchased Options — Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Portfolio is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment

is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. If an option which the Portfolio had purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Portfolio exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.
M Interest Rate Swaps — Pursuant to interest rate swap agreements, the Portfolio either makes floating-rate payments based on a benchmark interest rate in exchange for fixed-rate payments or the Portfolio makes fixed-rate payments in exchange for payments on a floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Portfolio is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates.
N Cross-Currency Swaps — Cross-currency swaps are interest rate swaps in which interest cash flows are exchanged between two parties based on the notional amounts of two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. Cross-currency swaps also involve the exchange of the notional amounts at the start of the contract at the current spot rate with an agreement to re-exchange such amounts at a later date at the same exchange rate, a specified rate or the then current spot rate. The entire principal value of a cross-currency swap is subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations.
O Credit Default Swaps — When the Portfolio is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Portfolio is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Portfolio pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Portfolio would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits from the contract. When the Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Portfolio could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Portfolio effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Portfolio also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Up-front payments or receipts, if any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
P Total Return Swaps — In a total return swap, the Portfolio makes payments at a rate equal to a predetermined spread to the one or three-month LIBOR. In exchange, the Portfolio receives payments based on the rate of return of a benchmark industry index or basket of securities. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes
28
Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
in the relationship between the rate of interest and the benchmark industry index or basket of securities. The Portfolio is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of interest rates, securities, or the index.
Q Repurchase Agreements — The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers determined to be creditworthy by the Portfolio’s investment adviser. Under a repurchase agreement, the Portfolio buys a security at one price and simultaneously promises to sell that same security back to the seller at a higher price for settlement at a later date. At the time the Portfolio enters into a repurchase agreement, it typically receives collateral at least equal to the repurchase price. The value of the collateral will be marked to market daily and, except in the case of a repurchase agreement entered to facilitate a short sale, the value of such collateral will at least equal 90% of such repurchase price. The terms of a repurchase agreement entered into to facilitate a short sale may provide that the value of collateral received by the Portfolio is less than the repurchase price. In such a case, the Portfolio will segregate liquid assets equal to the marked to market value of its obligation to the counterparty to the repurchase agreement. In the event of bankruptcy of the counterparty or a third party custodian, the Portfolio might experience delays in recovering its cash or experience a loss.
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 and the Subsidiary. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between the Portfolio and BMR and the investment advisory agreement between the Subsidiary and BMR, the Portfolio and Subsidiary each pay BMR a fee at an annual rate of 0.650% of its respective average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.625% from $1 billion up to $2 billion, 0.600% from $2 billion up to $5 billion, and 0.575% of average daily net assets of $5 billion or more, and is payable monthly. In determining the investment adviser fee for the Portfolio and Subsidiary, the applicable advisory fee rate is based on the average daily net assets of the Portfolio (inclusive of its interest in the Subsidiary). Such fee rate is then assessed separately on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets (exclusive of its interest in the Subsidiary) and the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets to determine the amount of the investment adviser fee. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $1,091,887 of which $1,421 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $1,090,466 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.65% of the Portfolio’s consolidated average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.

5 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts and swap contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and 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.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2010 is as follows:

* | | If the Portfolio is the seller of credit protection, the notional amount is the maximum potential amount of future payments the Portfolio could be required to make if a credit event, as defined in the credit default swap agreement, were to occur. At October 31, 2010, such maximum potential amount for all open credit default swaps in which the Portfolio is the seller was $8,500,000. |
|
** | | The contract annual fixed rate represents the fixed rate of interest received by the Portfolio (as a seller of protection) or paid by the Portfolio (as a buyer of protection) annually on the notional amount of the credit default swap contract. |
|
*** | | Current market annual fixed rates, utilized in determining the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of period end, serve as an indicator of the market’s perception of the current status of the payment/performance risk associated with the credit derivative. The current market annual fixed rate of a particular reference entity reflects the cost, as quoted by the pricing vendor, of selling protection against default of that entity as of period end and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. The higher the fixed rate, the greater the market perceived risk of a credit event involving the reference entity. A rate identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the reference entity. |

At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the Portfolio is subject to the following risks:
Credit Risk: The Portfolio enters into credit default swap contracts to manage its credit risk, to gain exposure to a credit in which the Portfolio may otherwise invest, or to enhance return.
Equity Risk: The Portfolio enters into total return swap agreements on a security, basket of securities or an index to enhance return, to change the duration of the overall portfolio, to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices or interest rates or as substitution for the purchase or sale of securities. The Portfolio also enters into options on an equity index to enhance return.
Foreign Exchange Risk: The Portfolio engages in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency options to enhance return, to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, to manage certain investment risks and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.
Interest Rate Risk: The Portfolio holds fixed-rate bonds. The value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Portfolio enters into interest rate and cross-currency swap contracts. The Portfolio also enters into interest rate swap agreements to enhance return or as a substitution for the purchase or sale of securities. The Portfolio also purchases and sells U.S. Treasury and foreign debt futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.

Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
The Portfolio enters into swap contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Portfolio’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Portfolio for those derivatives in a liability position. At October 31, 2010, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $953,137. The aggregate fair value of assets pledged as collateral by the Portfolio for such liability was $874,930 at October 31, 2010.
The non-exchange traded derivatives in which the Portfolio invests, including swap contracts, over-the counter options and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. The Portfolio is not subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to its written options as the Portfolio, not the counterparty, is obligated to perform under such derivatives. At October 31, 2010, the maximum amount of loss the Portfolio would incur due to counterparty risk was $4,355,100, representing the fair value of such derivatives in an asset position, with the highest amount from any one counterparty being $789,847. Such maximum amount would be reduced by any unamortized upfront payments received by the Portfolio. Such amount would be increased by any unamortized upfront payments made by the Portfolio. To mitigate this risk, the Portfolio has entered into master netting agreements with substantially all its derivative counterparties, which allows it and a counterparty to aggregate amounts owed by each of them for derivative transactions under the agreement into a single net amount payable by either the Portfolio or the counterparty. At October 31, 2010, the maximum amount of loss the Portfolio would incur due to counterparty risk would be reduced by approximately $2,854,000 due to master netting agreements. Counterparties may be required to pledge collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities or highly-rated bonds for the benefit of the Portfolio if the net amount due from the counterparty with respect to a derivative contract exceeds a certain threshold. The amount of collateral posted by the counterparties with respect to such contracts would also reduce the amount of any loss incurred.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) by risk exposure at October 31, 2010 was as follows:

2010, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately $4,480,000, $130,721,000 and $55,773,000, respectively.
The average principal amount of purchased currency option contracts and average number of purchased index option contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately $7,858,000 and 1,256 contracts, respectively.
6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
7 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by entities whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Emerging
Markets Local Income Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio and subsidiary (the “Portfolio”), including the consolidated portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the consolidated supplementary data for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, June 27, 2007, to October 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio and subsidiary as of October 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the supplementary data for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, June 27, 2007, to October 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including yield where relevant) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
| • | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of similarly managed funds and appropriate indices; |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management
| | |
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
| • | Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds; |
| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser
| | |
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |
| • | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |
| • | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s procedures for overseeing third party advisers and sub-advisers; |
Other Relevant Information
| | |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund (the “Fund”) with Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”), as well as the terms of the investment advisory agreement for Emerging Markets Local Income Portfolio, the portfolio in which the Fund invests (the “Portfolio”), with Boston Management and Research (“BMR”), an affiliate of EVM (EVM, with respect to the Fund, and BMR, with respect to the Portfolio, are each referred to herein as the “Adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the investment advisory agreements for the Fund and the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements of the Fund and the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by EVM and to the Portfolio by BMR. The Board considered EVM’s and BMR’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments to be held by the Fund and the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio and the Fund. The Board specifically noted EVM’s and BMR’s expertise with respect to emerging markets and in-house research capabilities. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund and Portfolio by senior management.
The Board noted that under the terms of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund, EVM may invest assets of the Fund directly in securities, for which it would receive a fee, or in the Portfolio, for which it receives no separate fee but for which BMR receives an advisory fee from the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the potential benefits to the Fund of the ability to make direct investments, such as an improved ability to: manage the Fund’s duration, or other general market exposures, using certain derivatives; add exposure to specific market sectors or asset classes without changing the Portfolio’s investments, which would affect any other fund investing in the Portfolio; hedge some of the general market risks of the Portfolio while retaining the value added by the individual manager; and hedge a portion of the exposures of the Portfolio while retaining others (e.g., hedging the U.S. government exposure of the Portfolio while retaining its exposure to high-grade corporate bonds).
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of EVM and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late

trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of EVM and its affiliates in recent years to requests from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by EVM and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of comparable funds identified by an independent data provider as well as a peer group of similarly managed funds and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-year period ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. In light of the Fund’s relatively brief operating history, the Board concluded that additional time was required to evaluate Fund performance.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and by the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. In considering the Fund’s total expense ratio and management fees, the Board noted the impact of the Fund’s use of leverage. The Board also considered the fact that EVM had waived fees and/or paid expenses for the Fund.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by EVM and BMR, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Portfolio, the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser in connection with its relationship with the Fund and Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. The Board noted the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels both at the Fund and the Portfolio level. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address.

Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.

Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Scott H. Page, CFA
Co-Portfolio Manager

Craig P. Russ
Co-Portfolio Manager
Economic and Market Conditions
• | | The bank loan market continued to recover from its 2008 lows for most of the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010. In spite of a small negative return during the April-June quarter, the market, as measured by the S&P/ LSTA Leveraged Loan Index1 (the Index), produced double-digit performance for the year. The market’s recovery was driven by stronger demand and greater liquidity in the marketplace, along with improved corporate fundamentals. |
• | | The market’s healthier tone was attributed to receding fears over deflation and a possible double-dip recession in the U.S. As a result, investors in search of yield began to take on incremental credit risk, evidenced by improved inflows into high-yield bond and bank loan mutual funds. These greater inflows led to more robust demand in the secondary market, as well as increased refinancing activity, bond-for-loan takeouts, and a general improvement in the over-all tone of the market—all of which contributed to tighter credit spreads and higher prices for bank loans. Importantly, and in contrast to other fixed-income sectors, bank loan credit spreads remained above their historical average levels over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). |
|
• | | Bank loan issuer fundamentals, which have been improving for the past several quarters, continued this trend into the latter months of the fiscal year. Corporate operating earnings growth was up 12.1% in the second calendar quarter of 2010 for public filers in the Index—the fourth consecutive quarter of such increases. Ratings downgrades and new defaults have also diminished to more modest levels, providing additional evidence of fundamental improvements. We believe default rates will continue to decline moderately as older defaults fall off of the rolling 12-month figures and are replaced by fewer new defaults. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund’s2 investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund invests primarily in senior floating-rate loans of domestic and foreign borrowers. In managing the Fund, the investment adviser seeks to invest in a portfolio of senior loans that it believes will be less volatile over time than the general loan market. |
|
• | | The Fund’s investments included 444 borrowers in 37 industries as of October 31, 2010, with an average loan representing 0.20% of total investments, and no industry constituted more than 10.7% of total investments. Health care, cable and satellite television, and business equipment and services were among the top industry weightings. The Fund’s loans were primarily senior, secured loans to companies with average revenues exceeding $1 billion. |
|
• | | For the year ending October 31, 2010, the Fund underperformed the Index, primarily as a result of strong performance in the riskier end of the market. |

1 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return reflects changes in value of the loans constituting the Index and accrual of interest and does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the loans represented in the Index. |
|
2 | | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, Floating Rate Portfolio (the Portfolio), with the same objective and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
3 | | These returns do not include the 2.25% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Advisers Class and Class I shares are offered at net asset value. During the period, Advisers Class, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of the settlement of purchase. Effective January 1, 2011, Advisers Class, Class A and Class I shares will no longer be subject to a redemption fee. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
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.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | During the period, the Fund continued to maintain smaller allocations to very large lower-quality loans—notably, some significant issues that came to market in 2007—than did the Index. This underweighting detracted from performance because the price of these issues rallied more than the overall market as investors sought higher discount opportunities. The Fund’s lower allocation to B-rated loans, which rallied the most after the May/June volatility, also detracted from relative performance during the summer months, as did an underweight to CCC-rated loans earlier in the year. In addition, the Fund’s investments in European loans contributed positively to its performance during the period. |
|
• | | We continue to believe that the Fund is well positioned for the current market environment. The Fund invests broadly across the floating-rate loan market, providing shareholders with diversified exposure to the asset class.* The cornerstones of the Fund’s investment approach have always been—and continue to be—bottom-up credit research and dedication to diversification. This approach helps the Fund seek lower volatility relative to the overall loan market, while helping to contain risk in difficult credit environments. |
* | | Diversification cannot assure a profit or eliminate the risk of loss. |

The rating assigned to a security by a rating agency 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. If securities are rated differently by the rating agencies, the higher rating is applied. |

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The Advisers Class and Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Floating Rate 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 (77.8% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $312,940,018 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2011 ($8,406,344), October 31, 2012 ($4,215,434), October 31, 2013 ($7,255,003), October 31, 2014 ($1,123,368), October 31, 2015 ($24,641,774), October 31, 2016 ($205,764,300), October 31, 2017 ($32,557,773) and October 31, 2018 ($28,976,022).
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Redemption Fees — Upon the redemption or exchange of shares by Advisers Class, Class A and Class I shareholders within 90 days of the settlement of purchase, a fee of 1% of the current net asset value of these shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
I Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:

|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 163,958,884 | | | $ | 105,017,355 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $17,194,267, accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $9,861,226, and paid-in capital was decreased by $27,055,493 due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss), defaulted bond interest and mixed straddles. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 14,488,014 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (312,940,018 | ) | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (41,755,041 | ) | | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (7,278,535 | ) | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, partnership allocations, swap contracts, defaulted bond interest and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
The administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $5,520,738. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $109,290 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $121,709 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Advisers Class, Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect distribution plans for the Advisers Class shares and Class A shares (Advisers/Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Advisers/Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Advisers Class and Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $984,777 for Advisers Class shares and $2,643,601 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $455,733 and $5,069,923 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $10,448,000 and $183,543,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $151,911 and $1,689,975 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $200,000, $69,000 and $116,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $2,072,106,542 and $204,474,811, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

(1) | | Senior floating-rate interests (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |
|

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Floating Rate 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 provide a high level of current income. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Floating Rate Fund, Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund, Eaton Vance Floating Rate & High Income Fund, Eaton Vance Multi Strategy Absolute Return Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Diversified Income Fund), Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund and Eaton Vance Short Term Real Return Fund held an interest of 77.8%, 8.9%, 9.9%, 1.3% and 0.7%, and 0.2%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Interests in senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower’s outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower’s assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.
Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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, 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 securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Portfolio’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement
39
Floating Rate Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
period reported by the third party pricing service. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. 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. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities.
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Portfolio may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Portfolio is obligated to fund
40
Floating Rate Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments. At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
H Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Portfolio enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K Credit Default Swaps — When the Portfolio is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Portfolio is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Portfolio pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Portfolio would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits from the contract. When the Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Portfolio could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Portfolio effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Portfolio also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Up-front payments or receipts, if any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.

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. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreement between the Portfolio and BMR, the fee is computed at an annual rate 0.575% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.525% from $1 billion up to $2 billion, 0.500% from $2 billion up to $5 billion, 0.480% from $5 billion up to $10 billion and 0.460% of average daily net assets of $10 billion or more, and is payable monthly. The fee reduction cannot be terminated without the consent of the Trustees and shareholders. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $26,393,174 of which $82,858 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $26,310,316 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.52% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, 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 and including maturities and principal repayments on Senior Loans and including maturities and paydowns, aggregated $3,611,283,598 and $1,902,390,690, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
Included in purchases are the cost of securities purchased by the Portfolio from investment companies advised by EVM or its affiliates of $340,093,526. Such transactions were executed in accordance with affiliated transaction procedures approved by the Portfolio’s Trustees.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 6,857,985,305 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 106,666,869 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (146,864,226 | ) | | |

|
|
The net unrealized depreciation on foreign currency at October 31, 2010 on federal income tax basis was $6,620,711.
5 Restricted Securities
At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio owned the following securities (representing less than 0.1% of net assets) which were restricted as to public resale and not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (excluding Rule 144A securities). The Portfolio has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities. The value of these securities is determined based on valuations provided by brokers when available, or if not available, they are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

6 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of
42

the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Portfolio is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Portfolio holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against this risk, the Portfolio enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Portfolio also enters into such contracts to hedge the currency risk of investments it anticipates purchasing.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is foreign exchange risk at October 31, 2010 was as follows:

The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $488,232,000.
7 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 a prime rate or an amount above either the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% (0.15% prior to March 22, 2010) 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
43

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
particular time. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended October 31, 2010.
8 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
9 Credit Risk
The Portfolio invests primarily in below investment grade floating rate loans and floating rate debt obligations, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to reduce the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments. Such companies are more likely to default on their payments of interest and principal owed than issuers of investment grade bonds. An economic downturn generally leads to a higher non-payment rate, and a loan or other debt obligation may lose significant value before a default occurs. Lower rated investments also may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan’s value.
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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Floating Rate Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Floating Rate Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Floating Rate Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and senior loans owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and selling or agent banks; where replies were not received from brokers and selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Floating Rate Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including yield where relevant) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
| • | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of similarly managed funds and appropriate indices; |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management
| | |
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
| • | Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds; |
| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser
| | |
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |
| • | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |
| • | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s procedures for overseeing third party advisers and sub-advisers; |
Other Relevant Information
| | |

Eaton Vance Floating Rate Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Floating Rate Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. In particular, the Board evaluated the experience and abilities of such personnel in analyzing factors such as the special considerations relevant to investing in senior floating rate loans. The Board noted the experience of the Adviser’s large group of bank loan investment professionals and other personnel who provide services to the Portfolio, including portfolio managers and analysts. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and by the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

• | | The bank loan market continued to recover from its 2008 lows for most of the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010. In spite of a small negative return during the April-June quarter, the market, as measured by the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index 1 (the Index), produced double-digit performance for the year. The market’s recovery was driven by stronger demand and greater liquidity in the marketplace, along with improved corporate fundamentals. |
• | | The market’s healthier tone was attributed to receding fears over deflation and a possible double-dip recession in the U.S. As a result, investors in search of yield began to take on incremental credit risk, evidenced by improved inflows into high-yield bond and bank loan mutual funds. These greater inflows led to more robust demand in the secondary market, as well as increased refinancing activity, bond-for-loan takeouts, and a general improvement in the overall tone of the market—all of which contributed to tighter credit spreads and higher prices for bank loans. Importantly, and in contrast to other fixed-income sectors, bank loan credit spreads remained above their historical average levels over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). |
• | | Bank loan issuer fundamentals, which have been improving for the past several quarters, continued this trend into the latter months of the fiscal year. Corporate operating earnings growth was up 12.1% in the second calendar quarter of 2010 for public filers in the Index—the fourth consecutive quarter of such increases. Ratings downgrades and new defaults have also diminished to more modest levels, providing additional evidence of fundamental improvements. We believe default rates will continue to decline moderately as older defaults fall off of the rolling 12-month figures and are replaced by fewer new defaults. |
• | | The corporate high-yield bond market performed well for most of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010. For the 12-month period, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index (the “High Yield Index”), a performance measure of below-investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds, returned 19.26%. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund’s2 investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund currently seeks its objective by investing at least 65% of its total assets in Floating Rate Portfolio and not more than 20% of its total assets in High Income Opportunities Portfolio. The Portfolios are separate registered investment companies managed by Eaton Vance or its affiliates. As of October 31, 2010, the Fund was 81.2% invested in Floating Rate Portfolio and 18.8% invested in High Income Opportunities Portfolio. |

During the period, Advisers Class, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of the settlement of purchase.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | Floating Rate Portfolio’s floating-rate loan investments included 444 borrowers as of October 31, 2010, with an average loan representing 0.20% of total investments, and no industry constituting more than 10.7% of total investments. Health care, cable and satellite television, and business equipment and services were among the top industry weightings. The Portfolio’s loans were primarily senior, secured loans to companies with average revenues exceeding $1 billion. |
|
• | | For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, Floating Rate Portfolio underperformed the Index,1 primarily as a result of strong performance in the riskier end of the market. During the period, the Portfolio continued to maintain smaller allocations to very large lower-quality loans—notably, some significant issues that came to market in 2007—than did the Index. This underweighting detracted from performance because the price of these issues rallied more than the overall market as investors sought higher discount opportunities. The Portfolio’s lower allocation to B-rated loans, which rallied the most after the May/June volatility, also detracted from relative performance during the summer months, as did an underweight to CCC-rated loans earlier in the year. In addition, the Portfolio’s investments in European loans contributed positively to its performance during the period. |
• | | High Income Opportunities Portfolio registered double-digit total returns for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, outpacing the average return of the funds in its peer group, the Lipper High Current Yield Funds Classification, and in line with the High Yield Index.1 Strong security selection, particularly among the Portfolio’s B and BB rated holdings, was one of the main drivers of performance for the period. An overweighting in CCC bonds, as well as solid security selection in automotive and auto parts, energy, metals and mining, and chemicals all further contributed to the Portfolio’s performance relative to the High Yield Index. In contrast, an underweighting in the strong-performing CC rated segment, as well as an overweighting in B rated bonds, which did not perform as well in the early part of the fiscal year, detracted from relative performance versus the High Yield Index. Returns also were hindered because of an underweighting in segments of the financials sector that did perform well during the period. |
| | |
1 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Portfolio. |
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. Portfolio information provided in the report may not be representative of the Portfolio’s current or future investments and may change due to active management.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers five classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). The Advisers Class and Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund currently pursues its objective by investing all of its investable assets in interests in the following two portfolios managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) or its affiliates: Floating Rate Portfolio and High Income Opportunities Portfolio (the Portfolios), which are Massachusetts business trusts. The value of the Fund’s investments in the Portfolios reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Floating Rate Portfolio and the High Income Opportunities Portfolio (9.9% and 17.4%, respectively, at October 31, 2010). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolios. The financial statements of the Floating Rate Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements. A copy of the High Income Opportunities Portfolio’s financial statements is available on the EDGAR database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov), at the Commission’s public reference room in Washington, DC or upon request from the Fund’s principal underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), by calling 1-800-262-1122.
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.
A Investment Valuation — Valuation of securities by the Floating Rate Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. Such policies are consistent with those of High Income Opportunities Portfolio.
B Income — The Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’s pro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolios, 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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $106,724,624 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2011 ($2,993,864), October 31, 2012 ($2,290,023), October 31, 2013 ($2,252,412), October 31, 2015 ($3,277,415), October 31, 2016 ($60,560,805), October 31, 2017 ($19,014,413) and October 31, 2018 ($16,335,692).
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Redemption Fees — Upon the redemption or exchange of shares by Advisers Class, Class A and Class I shareholders within 90 days of the settlement of purchase, a fee of 1% of the current net asset value of these shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
I Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 35,621,398 | | | $ | 30,529,188 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $16,078,153, accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $2,389,016 and paid-in capital was decreased by $18,467,169 due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for swap contracts, premium amortization, mixed straddles, defaulted bond interest and foreign currency gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,191,382 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (106,724,624 | ) | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (42,390,085 | ) | | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (697,548 | ) | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders, swap contracts, wash sales, partnership allocations, defaulted bond interest, premium amortization and investments in partnerships.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
The administration fee is earned by EVM as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $1,008,801. The Portfolios have engaged Boston Management and Research

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
(BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolios’ Notes to Financial Statements.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $27,024 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that EVD, an affiliate of EVM, received $23,738 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Advisers Class, Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolios who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolios are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for the Advisers Class shares and Class A shares (Advisers/Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Advisers/Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Advisers Class and Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $383,457 for Advisers Class shares and $533,287 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $193,835 and $1,428,972 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $7,112,000 and $65,779,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $64,612 and $476,323 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $16,000, $30,000 and $17,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. At October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the Fund’s investment in High Income Opportunities Portfolio, whose financial statements are not included but available elsewhere as discussed in Note 1, was valued based on Level 1 inputs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

(1) | | Senior floating-rate interests (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |

Floating Rate Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Floating Rate 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 provide a high level of current income. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Fund, Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund, Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund, Eaton Vance Multi Strategy Absolute Return Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Diversified Income Fund), Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund and Eaton Vance Short Term Real Return Fund held an interest of 77.8%, 8.9%, 9.9%, 1.3% and 0.7%, and 0.2%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower’s outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower’s assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.
Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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, 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 securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Portfolio’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement
40

period reported by the third party pricing service. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. 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. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities.
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Portfolio may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Portfolio is obligated to fund
41
Floating Rate Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments. At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
H Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Portfolio enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K Credit Default Swaps — When the Portfolio is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Portfolio is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Portfolio pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Portfolio would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits from the contract. When the Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Portfolio could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Portfolio effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Portfolio also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Up-front payments or receipts, if any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
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
42
Floating Rate Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
to the Portfolio. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreement between the Portfolio and BMR, the fee is computed at an annual rate 0.575% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.525% from $1 billion up to $2 billion, 0.500% from $2 billion up to $5 billion, 0.480% from $5 billion up to $10 billion and 0.460% of average daily net assets of $10 billion or more, and is payable monthly. The fee reduction cannot be terminated without the consent of the Trustees and shareholders. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $26,393,174 of which $82,858 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $26,310,316 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.52% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, 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 and including maturities and principal repayments on Senior Loans and including maturities and paydowns, aggregated $3,611,283,598 and $1,902,390,690, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
Included in purchases are the cost of securities purchased by the Portfolio from investment companies advised by EVM or its affiliates of $340,093,526. Such transactions were executed in accordance with affiliated transaction procedures approved by the Portfolio’s Trustees.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 6,857,985,305 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 106,666,869 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (146,864,226 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (40,197,357 | ) | | |
|
|
The net unrealized depreciation on foreign currency at October 31, 2010 on federal income tax basis was $6,620,711.
5 Restricted Securities
At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio owned the following securities (representing less than 0.1% of net assets) which were restricted as to public resale and not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (excluding Rule 144A securities). The Portfolio has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities. The value of these securities is determined based on valuations provided by brokers when available, or if not available, they are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

6 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and 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.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2010 is as follows:

At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Portfolio is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Portfolio holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against this risk, the Portfolio enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Portfolio also enters into such contracts to hedge the currency risk of investments it anticipates purchasing.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is foreign exchange risk at October 31, 2010 was as follows:

The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $488,232,000.
7 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 a prime rate or an amount above either the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% (0.15% prior to March 22, 2010) 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 October 31, 2010.

8 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
9 Credit Risk
The Portfolio invests primarily in below investment grade floating-rate loans and floating-rate debt obligations, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to reduce the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments. Such companies are more likely to default on their payments of interest and principal owed than issuers of investment grade bonds. An economic downturn generally leads to a higher non-payment rate, and a loan or other debt obligation may lose significant value before a default occurs. Lower rated investments also may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan’s value.
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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Floating Rate Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Floating Rate Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Floating Rate Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and senior loans owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and selling or agent banks; where replies were not received from brokers and selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Floating Rate Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |

| | |
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
| • | Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds; |
| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser
| | |
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreements of Floating Rate Portfolio and High Income Opportunities Portfolio, the portfolios in which Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund (the “Fund”) invests (the “Portfolios”), each with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreements. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to each agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreements for the Portfolios.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements of the Portfolios, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolios by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolios, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolios. In particular, the Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing special considerations relevant to investing in senior secured floating rate loans. For both Portfolios, the Board noted the experience of the Adviser’s large group of bank loan investment professionals and other personnel who provide services to the Portfolios, including portfolio managers and analysts. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund and each Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board also considered the performance of the underlying Portfolios. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolios and by the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolios and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolios, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolios and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolios, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolios increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolios, the structure of the advisory fees, which include breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

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

Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
Susan Schiff, CFA
Portfolio Manager
• | | The 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, opened with early signs of economic recovery and significantly less volatility in the credit markets than in the previous period. Economic growth, while slow, returned during the period, with GDP (gross domestic product) for all four quarters posting positive results. |
• | | Throughout the year, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) held policy rates between 0.00% and 0.25%, acknowledging the slow pace of economic recovery and employment, as well as the relative stability of the inflation outlook. The Fed also telegraphed its intention to institute a second round of quantitative easing, which would entail purchasing significant amounts of longer-term Treasury securities in an effort to accelerate economic recovery. |
• | | There were significant changes in all but the shortest yields on the U.S. Treasury curve during the year, the most significant coming in the 3- to 10-year portion of the curve, where there was a decline in yields of between 80 basis points (0.80%) and 115 basis points (1.15%). |
• | | Most of the government programs aimed at bolstering the economy had run their course by period end. Some of these programs were directed at freeing up capital and providing access to credit; others were more targeted to helping existing homeowners avoid foreclosure and maintaining affordability for new homeowners. One of the most significant steps taken was the Fed’s purchase of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in the secondary market. Although this program to sustain lower mortgage rates ended on March 31, 2010, the Fed purchased a total of $1.25 trillion in U.S. Government Agency MBS. This purchase program was generally considered to be well managed, and its conclusion did not cause a disruption in the MBS market. |
Management Discussion
• | | For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, the Fund1 underperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government Index (the Index), but it outpaced the average return of funds in the same Lipper Short-Intermediate U.S. Government Funds Classification.2 The Fund’s relative underperformance versus the Index was primarily the result of a shorter duration than the Index and a rally among bonds in the 5- to 10-year part of the yield curve, where the Fund was slightly underweighted versus the Index. In the seasoned MBS market on which the Fund focuses—typically comprising securities originated in the 1980s and 1990s—the yield spread over Treasuries tightened by approximately 20 basis points (0.20%) during the 12 months. Principal prepayment rates on the Fund’s seasoned MBS were relatively stable for the period, paying consistently at an annualized rate in the low-to-mid teens. |

1 | | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, Government Obligations Portfolio, with the same objective and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
2 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value (NAV), of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
|
3 | | These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for the Fund’s Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B shares and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I and Class R shares are offered at NAV. |
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio manager and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. Portfolio information may not be representative of the Portfolio’s current or future investments and may change due to active management.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
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.

Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | The Fund’s investment emphasis remained on seasoned U.S. Government Agency MBS during most of the period. As these seasoned MBS typically were originated decades ago, they tend to have lower loan-to-home value ratios, meaning that the underlying homeowners have more equity in their homes than the average borrower. In addition, these loans are guaranteed by government agencies. The Fund had no direct exposure to the subprime lending market or to non-agency MBS during the period. |
• | | Toward the end of the first calendar quarter of 2010, most of the new money coming into the Fund was put to work in other U.S. Government sectors, such as Agency debentures, as management believed the offerings from this sector represented better relative value than the MBS being offered. By the July-September quarter, however, it was felt that more opportunity had emerged in the Fund’s traditional seasoned MBS, and management directed new money primarily into that segment. |
• | | As the economy continued to show disappointingly slow signs of stabilization and positive growth and the Fed continued to keep longer-term rates low by purchasing bonds, the Fund lengthened its duration slightly with an increase from 2.93 years at the beginning of the 12-month period to 3.26 years as of October 31, 2010. Duration indicates price sensitivity to changes in interest rates of a fixed-income security or portfolio based on the timing of anticipated principal and interest payments. A shorter duration instrument normally has less exposure to interest-rate risk than a longer duration instrument. |

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class A of the Fund with that of the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. government bonds with maturities from one up to (but not including)10 years. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each of Class A of the Fund and in the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government Index. The chart also offers a comparison with the Lipper Short-Intermediate U.S. Government Funds Classification, the Fund’s peer Classification. Class A total returns are presented at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The table includes the total returns of each Class of the Fund at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers five classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I and Class R shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Government Obligations 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 (97.9% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio and other income, 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. At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $213,299,183 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2011 ($78,339,789), October 31, 2012 ($67,101,638), October 31, 2013 ($23,607,593), October 31, 2014 ($17,522,954), October 31, 2015 ($6,336,492), October 31, 2016 ($1,612,295) and October 31, 2018 ($18,778,422).
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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
12
Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 37,172,360 | | | $ | 32,697,314 | | | |
Tax return of capital | | | 1,898,614 | | | | 1,869,104 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $7,663,362, accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $9,279,888 and paid-in capital was decreased by $16,943,250 due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for paydown gain (loss) and premium amortization. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (213,299,183 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 62,634,714 | | | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (975,087 | ) | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders, wash sales, partnership allocations, futures contracts, premium amortization and mixed straddle amounts.
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 serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $42,799 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $399,373 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares
13
Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $1,385,073 for Class A shares. The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan), Class C shares (Class C Plan) and Class R shares (Class R Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $810,436 and $2,296,306 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $13,475,000 and $88,348,000, respectively. The Class R Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD an amount equal to 0.50% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Trustees of the Trust have currently limited Class R distribution payments to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $21,055, representing 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares.
The Class B, Class C and Class R Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $270,145, $765,435 and $21,055 for Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $31,000, $125,000 and $69,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $316,668,247 and $80,240,917, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2006, were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights in their report dated December 27, 2006.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Government Obligations Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Government Obligations 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 provide a high current return. The Portfolio invests primarily in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued, backed or otherwise guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund, Eaton Vance Multi-Strategy Absolute Return Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Diversified Income Fund) and Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund held an interest of 97.9%, 0.5% and 0.6%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days and excluding most seasoned mortgage-backed securities) 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, 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. Most seasoned, fixed rate 30-year mortgage-backed securities are valued through the use of the investment adviser’s matrix pricing system, which takes into account bond prices, yield differentials, anticipated prepayments and interest rates provided by dealers. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Financial futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — 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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the
24
Government Obligations Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
H Financial Futures Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts. The Portfolio’s investment in financial futures contracts is designed for hedging against changes in interest rates or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Portfolio 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 Forward Sale Commitments — The Portfolio may enter into forward sale commitments to sell generic U.S. government agency MBS to hedge its portfolio positions and/or to enhance return. The proceeds to be received from the forward sale commitment are recorded as a liability and are subsequently valued at approximately the current market value of the underlying security in accordance with the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. The Portfolio records an unrealized gain or loss on investments to the extent of the difference between the proceeds to be received and the value of the open forward sale commitment on the day of determination. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment or the delivery of securities, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Portfolio entered into the commitment.
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. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreement between the Portfolio and BMR, the fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.6875% from $500 million up to $1 billion, 0.6250% from $1 billion up to $1.5 billion, 0.5625% from $1.5 billion up to $2 billion, 0.5000% from $2 billion up to $2.5 billion and 0.4375% annually of average daily net assets of $2.5 billion or more, and is payable monthly. The fee reduction cannot be terminated without the consent of the Trustees and shareholders. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $7,467,635 of which $2,827 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $7,464,808 was paid or accrued directly by
25
Government Obligations Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.71% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, 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 and forward sale commitments and including maturities and paydowns, aggregated $395,750,323 and $225,105,432, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 1,145,066,404 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 63,453,314 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | — | | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 63,453,314 | | | |
|

5 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its 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 the Portfolio 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.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2010 is as follows:

|
|
At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Portfolio holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Portfolio purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk at October 31, 2010 was as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
The average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $54,308,000.
6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
7 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Government Obligations Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Government Obligations Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Government Obligations Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits. The supplementary data for the year ended October 31, 2006, was audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on that supplementary data in their report dated December 27, 2006.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Government Obligations Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including yield where relevant) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
| • | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of similarly managed funds and appropriate indices; |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management
| | |
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
| • | Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds; |
| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser
| | |
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |
| • | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |
| • | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s procedures for overseeing third party advisers and sub-advisers; |
Other Relevant Information

Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Government Obligations Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Government Obligations Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted the Adviser’s experience in investing in mortgage-backed securities, including seasoned mortgage-backed securities. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and by the Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address.

Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser.

The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
Michael W. Weilheimer, CFA
Co-Portfolio Manager

Thomas P. Huggins
Co-Portfolio Manager
• | | The corporate high-yield bond market performed well for most of the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010. In spite of a small negative return during the April-June quarter, the high-yield market, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index (the Index), produced a strong showing for the year, as investors seemed to put aside fears about sovereign credit risk and a possible double-dip recession to purchase high-yield paper. New-issue supply was up considerably, much of it coming in the form of refinancings, spurred on by narrowing yields. |
• | | Spreads on high-yield bonds (their incremental yield in excess of Treasury bonds of comparable maturity) narrowed by 170 basis points (1.70%) during the period, ending October at 593 basis points or 5.93% above Treasury yields. The average price of a bond within the Index finished at $102.56, with a 7.17% yield-to-worst, which indicates the lowest yield to any stated maturity or call date. Lower-quality paper again led the way, with CCC rated issues returning 21.03% for the period, while BB and B rated issues returned 19.16% and 16.41%, respectively. |
|
• | | Credit fundamentals continued to improve and corporate defaults to trend below normal for the year, with the speculative-grade default rate falling to 3.6% by period end, according to Moody’s Investors Service. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund1 registered double-digit total returns for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, with all of its share classes outpacing the average return of the funds in its peer group, the Lipper High Current Yield Funds Classification.3 The Fund’s Class I shares outperformed the primary benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index (the Index), but the returns for its Class A, Class B and Class C shares each came up short of the Index. |
|
• | | Strong security selection, particularly among the Fund’s B and BB rated holdings, was one of the main drivers of performance for the period. An overweighting in CCC bonds, as well as solid security selection in automotive and auto parts, energy, metals and mining, and chemicals all further contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. |
|
• | | The Fund’s underperformance versus the Index in all but the Class I shares was attributable to an underweighting in the strong-performing CC rated segment, as well as an overweighting in B rated bonds, |

1 | | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, High Income Opportunities Portfolio, with the same objectives and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
2 | | These returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for the Fund’s Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B shares and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value (NAV). During the period, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of settlement of purchase. Effective Janaury 1, 2011, Class A and Class I shares will no longer be subject to a redemption fee. |
|
3 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or Lipper Classification. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices. The Lipper average is the average total return, at NAV, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

Credit ratings are based largely on the rating agency’s investment analysis at the time of rating and the rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition. The rating assigned to a security by a rating agency 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. If securities are rated differently by the rating agencies, the higher rating is applied. |

These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class B of the Fund with that of the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index, an unmanaged index of below investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market, and the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, whose constituents are capitalization-weighted, based on their current amount outstanding, provided the total allocation to an individual issuer does not exceed 2%. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each of Class B of the Fund, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index and the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Constrained Index. The table includes the total returns of each Class of the Fund at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at NAV. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 4.75% sales charge. SEC returns for Class B reflect applicable CDSC based on the following schedule: 5% — 1st and 2nd years; 4% — 3rd year; 3% — 4th year; 2% — 5th year; 1% — 6th year. SEC returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year. During the period, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of settlement of purchase. Effective January 1, 2011, Class A and Class I shares will no longer be subject to a redemption fee. |

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on April 30, 2010. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio. | |

Eaton Vance High Income Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance High Income Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in High Income Opportunities Portfolio (the Portfolio), a Massachusetts business trust, having the same investment objectives 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 (53.2% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio and other income, 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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $75,451,376 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2016 ($33,167,924) and October 31, 2017 ($42,283,452). During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $2,937,917 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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,
11
Eaton Vance High Income Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 the By-laws provide that the Fund shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Redemption Fees — Upon the redemption or exchange of shares by Class A and Class I shareholders within 90 days of the settlement of purchase, a fee of 1% of the current net asset value of these shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
I Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 38,620,006 | | | $ | 41,341,526 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $137,208,303, accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $3,134,238 and paid-in capital was decreased by $140,342,541 due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for swap contracts, premium amortization and defaulted bond interest. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 3,453,624 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (75,451,376 | ) | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (27,404,397 | ) | | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (1,371,707 | ) | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, swap contracts, premium amortization, investment in partnerships, the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders, defaulted bond interest and partnership allocations.
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 serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $22,486 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $108,304 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the
12
Eaton Vance High Income Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $627,934 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $477,279 and $892,541 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $23,704,000 and $50,968,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $159,093 and $297,141 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $16,000, $84,000 and $15,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $17,257,548 and $72,679,862, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance High Income Opportunities Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance High Income Opportunities Fund (“the Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance High Income Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

PIK - Payment In Kind
| | |
(1) | | Senior floating-rate interests (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |
|
(2) | | This Senior Loan will settle after October 31, 2010, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
|
(3) | | Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. See Note 1G for description. |
|
(4) | | Defaulted security. Currently the issuer is in default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
|
(5) | | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in certain transactions (normally to qualified institutional |
| | |
| | buyers) and remain exempt from registration. At October 31, 2010, the aggregate value of these securities is $312,371,310 or 36.7% of the Portfolio’s net assets. |
|
(6) | | Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. |
|
(7) | | Restricted security (see Note 5). |
|
(8) | | Non-income producing security. |

High Income Opportunities Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
High Income Opportunities 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 provide a high level of current income. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance High Income Opportunities Fund, Eaton Vance Floating-Rate & High Income Fund, Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund and Eaton Vance International (Cayman Islands) Strategic Income Fund held an interest of 53.2%, 17.4%, 17.8% and 2.8%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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, 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 securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower’s outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower’s assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans. Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. 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. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities.
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Portfolio may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Portfolio is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments. At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
H Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
31
High Income Opportunities Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
J Credit Default Swaps — When the Portfolio is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Portfolio is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Portfolio pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Portfolio would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits from the contract. When the Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Portfolio could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Portfolio effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Portfolio also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Upfront payments or receipts, if any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
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. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.30% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.275% from $500 million up to $1 billion and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $1 billion or more; plus 3.00% of the Portfolio’s daily gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) when daily net assets are less than $500 million, 2.75% when daily net assets are $500 million but less than $1 billion, and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $1 billion or more, and is payable monthly. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $4,565,024 of which $1,391 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $4,563,633 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.58% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the
32
High Income Opportunities Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 October 31, 2010, 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 and including maturities, paydowns and principal repayments on Senior Loans, aggregated $631,768,560 and $607,618,249, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 838,317,727 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 67,978,593 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (71,537,527 | ) | | |

Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (3,558,934 | ) | | |
|

5 Restricted Securities
At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio owned the following securities (representing 1.4% of net assets) which were restricted as to public resale and not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (excluding Rule 144A securities). The Portfolio has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities. The value of these securities is determined based on valuations provided by brokers when available, or if not available, they are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

6 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include swap contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and 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.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2010 is as follows:

* | | Credit ratings are those of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Corp. The credit rating of the reference debt obligation (together with the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the swap) are a representative measure of the current payment/performance risk of the credit default swap. A lower credit rating increases the probability of the occurrence of a credit event. |
|
** | | If the Portfolio is the seller of credit protection, the notional amount is the maximum potential amount of future payments the Portfolio could be required to make if a credit event, as defined in the credit default swap agreement, were to occur. At October 31, 2010, such maximum potential amount for all open credit default swaps in which the Portfolio is the seller was $12,810,000. |
|
(1) | | Upfront payment is exchanged with the counterparty as a result of the standardized trading coupon. |
At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio enters into credit default swap contracts to manage its credit risk, to gain exposure to a credit in which it may otherwise invest, or to enhance return.
The Portfolio enters into swap contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Portfolio’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Portfolio for those swaps in a liability position. At October 31, 2010, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $31,206.
The non-exchange traded derivatives in which the Portfolio invests, including swap contracts, are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. At October 31, 2010, the maximum amount of loss the Portfolio would incur due to counterparty risk was $664,399, representing the fair value of such derivatives in an asset position, with the highest amount from any one counterparty being $348,544. Such amount would be reduced by any unamortized upfront payments received by the Portfolio. Counterparties may be required to pledge collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities or highly-rated bonds for the benefit of the Portfolio if the net amount due from the counterparty with respect to a derivative contract exceeds a certain threshold. The amount of collateral posted by the counterparties with respect to such contracts would also reduce the amount of any loss incurred.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is credit risk at October 31, 2010 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fair Value |
| | |

|
Credit default swap contracts | | $ | 664,399 | | | $ | (31,206 | ) | | |
| | |
(1) | | Statement of Assets and Liabilities location: Receivable for open swap contracts. |
|
(2) | | Statement of Assets and Liabilities location: Payable for open swap contracts. |
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is credit risk for the year ended October 31, 2010 was as follows:

| | |
(2) | | Statement of Operations location: Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – Swap contracts. |
The average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $11,060,000.
7 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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
34
High Income Opportunities Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
8 Credit Risk
The Portfolio regularly invests in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high yield securities. These investments have different risks than investments in debt securities rated investment grade and held by the Portfolio. Risk of loss upon default by the borrower is significantly greater with respect to such debt than with other debt securities because these securities are generally unsecured and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates, than are investment grade issuers.
9 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

High Income Opportunities Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of High Income Opportunities Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of High Income Opportunities Portfolio (“the Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and senior loans owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and selling or agent banks; where replies were not received from brokers and selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of High Income Opportunities Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:

| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |

| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of High Income Opportunities Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance High Income Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. In particular, the Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing special considerations relevant to investing in high-yield debt. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of comparable funds identified by an independent data provider as well as a peer group of similarly managed funds and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009 for the Fund. In considering the Fund’s longer-term performance record, the Board noted that the Fund’s performance had improved relative to its peers in recent periods. On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information provided by the Adviser in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Portfolio and by the Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

| • | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Boston Management and Research, and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. Our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address.

• | | In a year characterized by dramatic starts and stops, international equity markets posted solid gains for the 12 months ending October 31, 2010. Following a positive start to the year, investor concerns — including European sovereign risk contagion, credit tightening in China and the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill — blunted global markets’ progress during the April-June period as many investors reduced their exposure to risk-sensitive assets and returned to the sidelines. Even a $1 trillion EU loan package was not enough to calm pessimistic sentiment, as fears of a double-dip recession began to appear. Europe suffered the worst during this period; Asia-Pacific markets fared somewhat better; and emerging markets, as a whole, outperformed developed markets but still recorded losses. |
|
• | | The July-September period brought yet another change of direction, however, as international stocks rebounded on strengthening economic data and attractive valuations. The sovereign debt situation in southern Europe began to improve, as did the standing of the euro and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Emerging market growth stocks had the strongest performance; according to International Monetary Fund estimates, emerging market economies were expected to grow at 7.1% in 2010, versus a rate of 2.7% in developed countries. During the third quarter, capital raised in emerging markets amounted to $138 billion, twice that of developed markets. |
|
• | | For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index advanced 8.36%, the MSCI All-Country Asia-Pacific Index returned 13.66%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 23.56%. |
Management Discussion
• | | Against this backdrop, the Fund1 posted positive returns, but underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (the Index),2 for the year ending October 31, 2010. Within the Index, materials, industrials, consumer staples and consumer discretionary contributed the most to returns for the year, while financials and energy detracted. |
|
• | | The European sovereign debt crisis that spread contagion into emerging markets in the first half of 2010 had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. In particular, the Fund’s allocation to Czech Republic and Poland hurt results. While emerging markets did outperform later in the period and make a positive contribution to performance from a country |

1 | | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, International Equity Portfolio, with the same objective and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
2 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. Index returns reflect dividends net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |

|
4 | | These returns do not include the 5.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. During the period, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1.00% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of settlement of purchase. Effective January 1, 2011, Class A and Class I will no longer be subject to a redemption fee. Absent an allocation of certain expenses to the investment adviser and sub-adviser of the Portfolio and the administrator of the Fund, the returns would be lower. |
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.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
| | allocation perspective, the Fund’s performance was hampered by security selection. Brazil, the Fund’s largest emerging market country, performed poorly for the Fund, primarily due to an energy holding which underperformed, but the country also lagged emerging markets overall after prior year outperformance. |
• | | In developed markets, the Fund’s underweight relative to the Index in the outperforming U.K. was a drag on performance, as was a lack of exposure to Australia. Exposure to Greece earlier in the year was a detriment to performance due to the sovereign debt crisis and austerity measures. Overweight allocations in top-performing Singapore and Hong Kong benefited the Fund, as well as underweights in Japan and France. Stock selection in Japan and in Switzerland also helped. |
• | | A relative overweighting and stock selection in the energy sector, as well as Fund holdings in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors, detracted from performance. Stock selection in health care, materials and information technology, on the other hand, made positive contributions to returns. |

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class A of the Fund with that of the MSCI EAFE Index, an unmanaged index of equities in the developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each of Class A and the MSCI EAFE Index. Class A total returns are presented at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The table includes the total returns of each Class of the Fund at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

SEC returns for Class C reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year. During the period, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1.00% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of settlement of purchase. Effective January 1, 2011, Class A and Class I will no longer be subject to a redemption fee. Absent an allocation of certain expenses to the investment adviser and sub-adviser of the Portfolio and the administrator of the Fund, the returns would be lower. |

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

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

Eaton Vance International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance International Equity Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in International Equity 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 (67.5% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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. At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $10,130,160 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2014 ($7,211), October 31, 2015 ($65,592), October 31, 2016 ($2,978,887), October 31, 2017 ($5,891,996) and October 31, 2018 ($1,186,474).
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for
10
Eaton Vance International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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.
H Redemption Fees — Upon the redemption or exchange of shares by Class A or Class I shareholders within 90 days of the settlement of purchase, a fee of 1% of the current net asset value of these shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
I Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) 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, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 356,589 | | | $ | 334,469 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was increased by $5,030 and accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $5,030 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss) and investments in passive foreign investment companies (PFICs). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 306,453 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (10,130,160 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 2,660,480 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to partnership allocations, foreign currency transactions and investments in PFICs.
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 and the sub-adviser of the Portfolio, Eagle Global Advisors, L.L.C. (Eagle), have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that they exceed 1.50%, 2.25% and 1.25% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after February 28, 2011. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and Eagle were allocated $60,596 and $60,596, respectively, of the Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $990 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $4,017 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $16,348 for Class A shares. The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class C Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of Class C, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by Class C. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $16,676 for Class C shares representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class C Plan was approximately $123,000. The Class C Plan also authorizes the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $5,559 for Class C shares.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class C Plan. CDSCs received on Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $200 of CDSCs paid by Class C shareholders and no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $16,921,780 and $15,698,811, respectively.

Eaton Vance International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance International Equity Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, May 31, 2006, to October 31, 2006. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, May 31, 2006, to October 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

International Equity Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
International Equity 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 total return by investing in a diversified portfolio of foreign equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance International Equity Fund and Eaton Vance Equity Asset Allocation Fund held an interest of 67.5% and 12.1%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. 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. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
21
International Equity Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million and is payable monthly. On net assets of $500 million and over, the annual fee is reduced. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, BMR pays Eagle Global Advisors, L.L.C. (Eagle) a portion of its adviser fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Portfolio. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $332,458 of which $620 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $331,838 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 1.00% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to a voluntary expense reimbursement,
22
International Equity Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
BMR and Eagle were allocated $5,853 and $5,853, respectively, of the Portfolio’s operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2010.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, 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 $16,784,229 and $14,955,785, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 28,440,226 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 5,286,384 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (692,728 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 4,593,656 | | | |
|
|
The net unrealized appreciation on foreign currency at October 31, 2010 on a federal income tax basis was $3,168.
5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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. At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $700,000 at an interest rate of 1.44%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at October 31, 2010. The Portfolio’s average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended October 31, 2010 were not significant.
6 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
7 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

International Equity Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of International Equity Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of International Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, May 31, 2006, to October 31, 2006. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of International Equity Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, May 31, 2006, to October 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance International Equity Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including yield where relevant) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
| • | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of similarly managed funds and appropriate indices; |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of International Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”) and the sub-advisory agreement with Eagle Global Advisors, L.L.C. (“Eagle” or the “Sub-adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser and Sub-adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser and Sub-adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities supervising the Sub-adviser. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management. With respect to the Sub-adviser, the Board took into consideration the resources available to the Sub-adviser in fulfilling its duties under the sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-adviser’s experience in managing international equity portfolios.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, and of the Sub-adviser. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information provided by the Adviser in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009 as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. The Board considered the fact that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser had waived fees and/or paid expenses for the Fund.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser or Sub-adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients. The Board also concluded that, in light of its role as a sub-adviser not affiliated with the Adviser, the Sub-adviser’s profitability in managing the Portfolio was not a material factor.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates, Eagle, and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

| • | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
|
| • | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Boston Management and Research, and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. Our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Co-Portfolio Manager
Economic and Market Conditions
• | | During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, the strongest returns in the global credit markets were generated by the riskier assets, including the emerging markets. Credit spreads were tighter across most of the U.S. credit markets for the 12-month period, with the strongest performance produced during the first six months. In the U.S. fixed-income markets, positive returns during the last six months were primarily the result of a rally in U.S. Treasuries, accompanied by only modest spread widening. For the fiscal year, yields fell across the U.S. Treasury curve, with the 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year bond yields declining by 55,114, and 78 basis points, respectively. |
|
• | | Turning to the global currency markets, the euro depreciated by more than 5% versus the U.S. dollar during the period; however, most other currencies across the developed and emerging markets, including the Japanese yen, appreciated significantly. Currency appreciation was widespread for the period, including significant appreciation in emerging Asia and Latin America (against the dollar) and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa (against the euro). |
|
• | | For the 12-month period, among the most notable developments were the problems in Europe, as markets increasingly focused on the fiscal problems in Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. The first half of the period produced consistent negative headlines out of Greece, resulting in both increased volatility and significant credit spread widening in those four countries. |

• | | Globally, economic data released during the first six months of the period provided evidence of economic recovery, particularly in the emerging markets. Specifically, the global economic recovery was led by Asia, with a pickup in demand from Europe and the U.S. leading to an export recovery, which had a positive effect on export-oriented countries. Countries in Latin America, with the exception of Venezuela, also grew at varying levels, with Uruguay and Peru amongst the strongest. However, the pace of acceleration in economic activity moderated in the final six months, and the focus shifted to the weakening in the U.S. economy and the anticipation of another round of quantitative easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund1 seeks to provide total return by investing in securities, derivatives, and other instruments to establish long and short investment exposures around the world. In this connection, the Fund invests principally in securities denominated in foreign currencies, fixed-income instruments issued by foreign entities or sovereigns, and/ or derivative instruments, denominated in or based on the currencies, interest rates, or issues of foreign countries. |
|
• | | For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, the Fund generated a positive total return but underperformed the JPMorgan Government Bond Index – Global, ex U.S. (the Index).2 The Fund’s underperformance can be attributed to its diversified approach to gaining foreign exchange exposures and duration rather than the concentrated weightings in debt denominated in the euro, British pound and Japanese yen in the Index. During the year, the primary drivers of the Fund’s underperformance versus the Index were its avoidance of Japanese local debt and an underweight |

1 | | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, International Income Portfolio (the Portfolio), with the same objective and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
2 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. |
|
3 | | Return does not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares. If the sales charge was deducted, the return would be lower. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
| | position in the Japanese yen. Offsetting that under-performance, the Fund’s positions in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Greece, U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and commodities produced significant positive returns for the Fund. |
|
• | | The Fund’s exposures in Eastern Europe contributed positively to its relative performance, primarily due to positions in Turkey. Turkey had a surprisingly strong recovery from the international economic crisis, and the Fund’s position in Turkish inflation-linked bonds benefited from strong demand, as concerns about future inflation became an investor focus. Additionally, the Fund’s position in local debt of the Czech Republic benefited from strong currency performance versus the euro. |
|
• | | Performance in Latin America was positive throughout the region. The Fund’s positions in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico generated the most significant positive returns. Generally, Latin America benefited from growth in the region, as well as broad dollar weakness. |
|
• | | In Greece, the debt crisis pushed credit default swap (CDS) spreads hundreds of basis points wider, and the Fund’s short CDS position benefited. Although an international bailout package and a government-imposed austerity program helped to mitigate the pace of widening credit spreads, concerns about default and restructuring remained. |
|
• | | Commodities were also a significant source of positive return for the Fund. The Fund has positions in gold and silver, which returned 30% and 52% for the fiscal year, respectively. In the U.S., the rally in U.S. Treasuries, accompanied by modest spread tightening, led to positive returns for the Fund’s MBS positions as well. |
|
• | | The Fund’s duration was reduced to 1.49 years as of October 31, 2010, from 4.51 years as of October 31, 2009. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a fund or a fixed-income security to changes in interest rates. A shorter duration instrument normally has less exposure to interest rate risk than longer duration instruments. |

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class A of the Fund with that of the JPMorgan Government Bond Index—Global, ex U.S. (JPMorgan Index), an unmanaged, broad-based market index consisting entirely of foreign denominated securities. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in Class A of the Fund and in the JPMorgan Index. Class A total returns are presented at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemptions of Fund shares.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance International Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance International Income Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers Class A shares, which are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in International Income 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 (5.1% at October 31, 2010). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The consolidated financial statements of the Portfolio, including the consolidated 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.
A Investment Valuation — Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
B Income — The Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’s pro-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.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $54,282 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 29,480 | | | $ | 291,229 | | | |
Long-term capital gains | | $ | 4,395 | | | $ | 123,388 | | | |
Tax return of capital | | $ | 275,688 | | | | — | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $246,288, accumulated undistributed net investment income was decreased by $113,255 and paid-in capital was decreased by $133,033 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss), net operating losses, paydown gain (loss), swap contracts and premium amortization. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 35,244 | | | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (6,244 | ) | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to futures contracts, swap contracts, foreign currency transactions, premium amortization, tax accounting for straddles, partnership allocations and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.
3 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 the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.625% of the Fund’s average daily net assets that are not invested in other investment companies for which EVM or its affiliates serve as investment adviser or administrator (“Investable Assets”) up to $1 billion and is payable monthly. On Investable Assets of $1 billion and over, the annual fee is reduced. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund incurred no investment adviser fee on Investable Assets. To the extent the Fund’s assets are invested in the Portfolio, the Fund is allocated its share of the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. EVM also serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that they exceed 1.10% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A. This agreement may be changed or terminated after February 28, 2011. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM was allocated $116,965 of the Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2010.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $505 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $5,904 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A shares (see Note 4).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plan
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.30% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $20,220 for Class A shares.

Eaton Vance International Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
Class A shares may be subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $4,280,436 and $2,019,915, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
Class A | | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
Sales | | | 424,658 | | | | 548,445 | | | |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance International Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance International Income Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, 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, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, June 27, 2007, to October 31, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance International Income Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, June 27, 2007, to October 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

International Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
International Income Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Portfolio’s investment objective is to seek total return. Total return is defined as income plus capital appreciation. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance International Income Fund, Eaton Vance International (Cayman Islands) Strategic Income Fund and Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund held an interest of 5.1%, 13.6% and 81.2%, respectively, in the Portfolio.
The Portfolio seeks to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in Eaton Vance IIP Commodity Subsidiary, Ltd. (the Subsidiary), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Portfolio organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands with the same objective and investment policies and restrictions as the Portfolio. The Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The net assets of the Subsidiary at October 31, 2010 were $8,761,676 or 5.2% of the Portfolio’s consolidated net assets. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Subsidiary, which commenced operations in May 2010. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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.
A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days and excluding most seasoned mortgage-backed securities) 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, 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. Most seasoned, fixed rate 30-year mortgage-backed securities are valued through the use of the investment adviser’s matrix pricing system, which takes into account bond prices, yield differentials, anticipated prepayments and interest rates provided by dealers. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less (excluding those that are non-U.S. dollar denominated, which typically are valued by a pricing service or dealer quotes) are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Precious metals are valued at the New York composite mean quotation reported by Bloomberg at the valuation time. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices at valuation time as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority for U.S. listed options or by the relevant exchange or board of trade for non-U.S. listed options. Over-the-counter options (including options on securities, indices and foreign currencies) are valued by a third party pricing service using techniques that consider factors including the value of the underlying instrument, the volatility of the underlying instrument and the period of time until option expiration. Financial futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Portfolio’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. Interest rate swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such pricing service valuations are based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value using swap rates provided by electronic data services or by broker/dealers. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. Foreign securities and currencies
22
International Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Inflation adjustments to the principal amount of inflation-adjusted bonds and notes are reflected as interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
The Portfolio is subject to a two percent transaction tax on foreign currency inflows for new investments in Brazil. Such tax is included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency.
The Subsidiary is treated as a controlled foreign corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and is not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Portfolio is treated as a U.S. shareholder of the Subsidiary. As a result, the Portfolio is required to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes all of the Subsidiary’s income, whether or not such income is distributed by the Subsidiary. If a net loss is realized by the Subsidiary, such loss is not generally available to offset the income earned by the Portfolio.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
F 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
23
International Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
I Financial Futures Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts. The Portfolio’s investment in financial futures contracts is designed for hedging against changes in interest rates or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Portfolio 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.
J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Portfolio enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contract is adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contract has been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K Written Options — Upon the writing of a call or a put option, the premium received by the Portfolio is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written, in accordance with the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Portfolio. The Portfolio, as a writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or other assets may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities or other assets underlying the written option. The Portfolio may also bear the risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.
L Purchased Options — Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Portfolio is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with
24
International Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. If an option which the Portfolio had purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Portfolio exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.
M Interest Rate Swaps — Pursuant to interest rate swap agreements, the Portfolio either makes floating-rate payments based on a benchmark interest rate in exchange for fixed-rate payments or the Portfolio makes fixed-rate payments in exchange for payments on a floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Portfolio is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates.
N Cross-Currency Swaps — Cross-currency swaps are interest rate swaps in which interest cash flows are exchanged between two parties based on the notional amounts of two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. Cross-currency swaps also involve the exchange of the notional amounts at the start of the contract at the current spot rate with an agreement to re-exchange such amounts at a later date at either the same exchange rate, a specified rate or the then current spot rate. The entire principal value of a cross-currency swap is subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations.
O Credit Default Swaps — When the Portfolio is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Portfolio is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Portfolio pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Portfolio would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits from the contract. When the Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Portfolio could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Portfolio effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Portfolio also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Up-front payments or receipts, if any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
P Total Return Swaps — In a total return swap, the Portfolio makes payments at a rate equal to a predetermined spread to the one or three-month LIBOR. In exchange, the Portfolio receives payments based on the rate of return of a benchmark industry index or basket of securities. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between the rate of interest and the benchmark industry index or basket of securities. The Portfolio is exposed to credit loss in the event of
25
International Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of interest rates, securities, or the index.
Q Repurchase Agreements — The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers determined to be creditworthy by the Portfolio’s investment adviser. Under a repurchase agreement, the Portfolio buys a security at one price and simultaneously promises to sell that same security back to the seller at a higher price for settlement at a later date. At the time the Portfolio enters into a repurchase agreement, it typically receives collateral at least equal to the repurchase price. The value of the collateral will be marked to market daily and, except in the case of a repurchase agreement entered to facilitate a short sale, the value of such collateral will at least equal 90% of such repurchase price. The terms of a repurchase agreement entered into to facilitate a short sale may provide that the value of collateral received by the Portfolio is less than the repurchase price. In such a case, the Portfolio will segregate liquid assets equal to the marked to market value of its obligation to the counterparty to the repurchase agreement. In the event of bankruptcy of the counterparty or a third party custodian, the Portfolio might experience delays in recovering its cash or experience a loss.
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 and the Subsidiary. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between the Portfolio and BMR and the investment advisory agreement between the Subsidiary and BMR, the Portfolio and Subsidiary each pay BMR a fee at an annual rate of 0.625% of its respective average daily net assets up to $1 billion and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $1 billion or more, and is payable monthly. In determining the investment adviser fee for the Portfolio and Subsidiary, the applicable advisory fee rate is based on the average daily net assets of the Portfolio (inclusive of its interest in the Subsidiary). Such fee rate is then assessed separately on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets (exclusive of its interest in the Subsidiary) and the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets to determine the amount of the investment adviser fee. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $691,226 of which $2,778 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $688,448 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.

International Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the Portfolio is subject to the following risks:
Credit Risk: The Portfolio enters into credit default swap contracts to manage its credit risk, to gain exposure to a credit in which the Portfolio may otherwise invest, or to enhance return.
Equity Risk: The Portfolio enters into total return swap agreements on a security, basket of securities or an index to enhance return, to change the duration of the overall portfolio, to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices or interest rates or as substitution for the purchase or sale of securities. The Portfolio also enters into equity index futures contracts to enhance return.
Foreign Exchange Risk: The Portfolio engages in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency options to enhance return, to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, to manage certain investment risks and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.
Interest Rate Risk: The Portfolio holds fixed-rate bonds. The value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Portfolio enters into interest rate and cross-currency swap contracts. The Portfolio also enters into interest rate swap agreements to enhance return or as a subsitution for the purchase or sale of securities. The Portfolio also purchases and sells U.S. Treasury and foreign debt futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The Portfolio enters into swap contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Portfolio’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Portfolio for those derivatives in a liability position. At October 31, 2010, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $1,307,327.
The non-exchange traded derivatives in which the Portfolio invests, including swap contracts, over-the-counter options and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. The Portfolio is not subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to its written options as the Portfolio, not the counterparty, is obligated to perform under such derivatives. At October 31, 2010, the maximum amount of loss the Portfolio would incur due to counterparty risk was $1,477,663, representing the fair value of such derivatives in an asset position, with the highest amount from any one counterparty being $356,962. Such maximum amount would be reduced by any unamortized upfront payments received by the Portfolio. Such amount would be increased by any unamortized upfront payments made by the Portfolio. To mitigate this risk, the Portfolio has entered into master netting agreements with substantially all its derivative counterparties, which allows it and a counterparty to aggregate amounts owed by each of them for derivative transactions under the agreement into a single net amount payable by either the Portfolio or the counterparty. At October 31, 2010, the maximum amount of loss the Portfolio would incur due to counterparty risk would be reduced by approximately $517,000 due to master netting agreements. Counterparties may be required to pledge collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities or highly-rated bonds for the benefit of the Portfolio if the net amount due from the counterparty with respect to a derivative contract exceeds a certain threshold. The amount of collateral posted by the counterparties with respect to such contracts would also reduce the amount of any loss incurred.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) by risk exposure at October 31, 2010 was as follows:

The average notional amounts of futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swap contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately $7,202,000, $94,951,000 and $13,837,000, respectively.
The average principal amount of purchased option contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $4,651,000.
6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
7 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by entities whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

International Income Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of International Income Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of International Income Portfolio and subsidiary (the “Portfolio”), including the consolidated portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the consolidated supplementary data for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, June 27, 2007, to October 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of International Income Portfolio and subsidiary as of October 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the supplementary data for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, June 27, 2007, to October 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance International Income Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:

| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser

| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |
| • | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |
| • | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s procedures for overseeing third party advisers and sub-advisers; |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Eaton Vance International Income Fund (the “Fund”) with Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”), as well as the terms of the investment advisory agreement for International Income Portfolio, the portfolio in which the Fund invests (the “Portfolio”), with Boston Management and Research (“BMR”), an affiliate of EVM (EVM, with respect to the Fund, and BMR, with respect to the Portfolio, are each referred to herein as the “Adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the investment advisory agreements for the Fund and the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements of the Fund and the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by EVM and to the Portfolio by BMR.
The Board considered EVM’s and BMR’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments to be held by the Fund and the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund and the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted EVM’s and BMR’s expertise with respect to global markets and in-house research capabilities. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund and Portfolio in the complex by senior management.
The Board noted that under the terms of the investment advisory agreement of the Fund, EVM may invest assets of the Fund directly in securities, for which it may receive a fee, or in the Portfolio, for which it receives no separate fee but for which BMR receives an advisory fee from the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the potential benefits to the Fund of the ability to make direct investments, such as an improved ability to: manage the Fund’s duration, or other general market exposures, using certain derivatives; add exposure to specific market sectors or asset classes without changing the Portfolio’s investments, which would affect any other fund investing in the Portfolio; hedge some of the general market risks of the Portfolio while retaining the value added by the individual manager; and hedge a portion of the exposures of the Portfolio while retaining others (e.g., hedging the U.S. government exposure of the Portfolio while retaining its exposure to high-grade corporate bonds).
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of EVM and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
The Board also evaluated the responses of EVM and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by EVM and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of comparable funds identified by an independent data provider as well as a peer group of similarly managed funds and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-year period ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information provided by the Adviser in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates to be paid by the Fund directly or indirectly through its pro rata share of the expenses of the Portfolio (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. In considering the Fund’s total expense ratio and management fees, the Board noted the impact of the Fund’s use of leverage. The Board considered the fact that EVM had waived fees and/or paid expenses for the Fund.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by EVM and BMR, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Portfolio, the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Portfolio and the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolios increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. The Board noted the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels both at the Fund and at the Portfolio level. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund can be expected to continue to share such benefits equitably.

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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Susan Schiff, CFA
Portfolio Manager
Economic and Market Conditions
• | | The 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, opened with early signs of economic recovery and significantly less volatility in the credit markets than in the previous period. Economic growth, while slow, returned during the period, with GDP (gross domestic product) for all four quarters posting positive results. |
|
• | | Throughout the year, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) held policy rates between 0.00% and 0.25%, acknowledging the slow pace of economic recovery and employment, as well as the relative stability of the inflation outlook. The Fed also telegraphed its intention to institute a second round of quantitative easing, which would entail purchasing significant amounts of longer-term Treasury securities in an effort to accelerate economic recovery. |
|
• | | There were significant changes in all but the shortest yields on the U.S. Treasury curve during the year, the most significant coming in the 3- to 10-year portion of the curve, where there was a decline in yields of between 80 basis points (0.80%) and 115 basis points (1.15%). |
|
• | | Most of the government programs aimed at bolstering the economy had run their course by period end. Some of these programs were directed at freeing up capital and providing access to credit; others were more targeted to helping existing homeowners avoid foreclosure and maintaining affordability for new homeowners. One of the most significant steps taken was the Fed’s purchase of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in the secondary market. Although this program to sustain lower mortgage rates ended on March 31, 2010, the Fed purchased a total of $1.25 trillion in U.S. Government Agency MBS. This purchase program was generally considered to be well managed, and its conclusion did not cause a disruption in the MBS market. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund1 seeks total return, an objective it pursues primarily through investments in securities issued by the U.S. government (or its agencies and instrumentalities). At least 90% of the Fund’s net assets are invested in investment-grade securities. |
|
• | | During the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, the Fund outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index (the Index), and its Class A and Class I shares outperformed the average return of the funds in the Lipper Short U.S. Government Funds Classification.3 The Fund’s excess performance versus the Index was primarily the result of an approximate 7% allocation to bank loans in the Floating Rate Portfolio and a slight tightening in the yield spreads between MBS and Treasuries. In the seasoned MBS market on which the Fund focuses—typically comprising securities originated in the 1980s and 1990s—this yield spread tightened by approximately 20 basis points (0.20%) during the period. Principal prepayment rates on the Fund’s seasoned MBS were relatively stable for the entire period, paying consistently at an annualized rate in the low-to-mid teens. |
|
• | | Bank loan performance, as measured by the S&P/ LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, was relatively strong for the year ending October 31, 2010, returning 11.91%. The bank loan market was supported by greater |

1 | | The Fund pursues its objective by investing in one or more registered investment companies (each a “Portfolio”) that are managed by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliates. The Fund currently invests in Investment Portfolio, Government Obligations Portfolio and Floating Rate Portfolio (collectively, the “Portfolios”). References to investments are to the Portfolios’ holdings. |
|
2 | | These returns do not include the 2.25% maximum sales charge for the Fund’s Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B shares and Class C shares. Class I shares are offered at net asset value (NAV). If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. |
|
3 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper average is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
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.

Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
| | inflows, as investors were not only searching for higher yields but also appeared to be growing more comfortable with incremental credit risk in an environment of improving business fundamentals among bank loan issuers and evidence of a stabilizing U.S. economy. |
|
• | | The Fund’s investment emphasis remained on seasoned U.S. Government Agency MBS during the entire period. As these seasoned MBS were typically originated decades ago, they tend to have lower loan-to-home value ratios, meaning that the underlying homeowners have more equity in their homes than the average borrower. In addition, these loans are guaranteed by government agencies. Within the seasoned MBS market, the Fund focused on seasoned adjustable-rate mortgages (seasoned ARMs). Also, the Fund continued to add exposure to U.S. Government Agency for International Development (AID) bonds and U.S. Government Agency debentures. Both of these additions were made because of management’s belief that these areas represented relative value within the Fund’s allowable markets. The Fund had no direct exposure to the subprime lending market or to non-agency MBS during the period. |
|
• | | As the economy continued to show disappointingly slow signs of stabilization and positive growth and the Fed continued to keep longer-term rates low by purchasing bonds, the Fund lengthened its duration slightly with an increase from 1.51 years at the beginning of the 12-month period to 1.83 years as of October 31, 2010. Duration indicates price sensitivity to changes in interest rates of a fixed-income security or portfolio based on the timing of anticipated principal and interest payments. A shorter duration instrument normally has less exposure to interest-rate risk than a longer duration instrument. |

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class A of the Fund with that of the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index of short-term U.S. Treasury securities, and the Lipper Short U.S. Government Funds Classification. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each of Class A, the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index and the Lipper Short U.S. Government Funds Classification. Class A total returns are presented at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The table includes the total returns of each Class of the Fund at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on April 30, 2010. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolios. | |

Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares four years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund currently pursues its objective by investing all of its investable assets in interests in the following three portfolios managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) or its affiliates: Investment Portfolio, Floating Rate Portfolio and Government Obligations Portfolio (the Portfolios), which are Massachusetts business trusts. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Portfolios reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of Investment Portfolio, Floating Rate Portfolio and Government Obligations Portfolio (96.5%, 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively, at October 31, 2010). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolios. The financial statements of Investment Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements. A copy of each Portfolio’s financial statements is available on the EDGAR database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov), at the Commission’s public reference room in Washington, DC or upon request from the Fund’s principal underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), by calling 1-800-262-1122.
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.
A Investment Valuation — Valuation of securities by Investment Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Investment Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report. Such policies are consistent with those of Floating Rate Portfolio and Government Obligations Portfolio for applicable investments.
Additional valuation policies for Floating Rate Portfolio are as follows: The Portfolio’s investments are primarily in interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) of domestic and foreign issues. Interests in Senior Loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower’s outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower’s assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.

Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
B Income — The Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’s pro-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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $28,042,131 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2011 ($4,082,489), October 31, 2012 ($3,697,770), October 31, 2013 ($1,016,104), October 31, 2014 ($811,882), October 31, 2015 ($374,820), October 31, 2016 ($594,536), October 31, 2017 ($766,153) and October 31, 2018 ($16,698,377), respectively.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:

Tax return of capital | | | — | | | | 866,415 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was increased by $2,560,475, accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $2,747,697 and paid-in capital was decreased by $187,222 due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for paydown gain (loss), premium amortization, mixed straddles, defaulted bond interest and foreign currency gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 134,811 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (28,042,131 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 28,876,226 | | | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (339,699 | ) | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, partnership allocations, futures contracts, premium amortization, defaulted bond interest and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
EVM serves as the investment adviser and administrator of the Fund, providing investment advisory services (relating to the investment of the Fund’s assets in the Portfolios), and administering the business affairs of the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative agreement, and subsequent fee waiver agreement between the Fund and EVM, the fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of Fund’s average daily net assets, all of which is waived. The fee waiver agreement may not be amended or terminated without the approval of the Fund’s Trustees and shareholders. The Portfolios have engaged BMR to render investment advisory services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s allocated portion of the adviser fees paid by the Portfolios was 0.51% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and amounted to $2,566,873. EVM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that they exceed 1.00%, 1.75%, 1.60% and 0.75% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after February 28, 2011. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM was not allocated any of the Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $13,929 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that EVD, an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $38,506 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolios who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolios are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $812,474 for Class A shares. The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% and 0.60% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts therefore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $68,947 and $848,300 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% and 0.60% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, respectively. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered

Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $1,276,000 and $14,299,000, respectively. The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $22,982 and $353,459 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within four years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 3% in the case of redemptions in the first year of purchase, declining to 2.5% in the second year, 2.0% in the third year, 1.0% in the fourth year and 0.0% thereafter. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $75,000, $19,000 and $56,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the Fund’s investments in Floating Rate Portfolio and Government Obligations Portfolio, whose financial statements are not included but are available elsewhere as discussed in Note 1, were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2006, with the exception of the Portfolio Turnover of the Fund (which has been corrected in the financial highlights and is explained therein) were audited by other auditors whose report, dated December 27, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited the Portfolio Turnover of the Fund (which has been added to the financial highlights) appearing in the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2006. This additional measure is explained in financial highlights. Our procedures included recomputing the additional measure. In our opinion, such measure has been appropriately calculated. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2006 financial statements of the Fund other than with respect to the additional measure and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2006 financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Investment 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 seek total return. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund and Eaton Vance Multi-Strategy Absolute Return Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Diversified Income Fund) held an interest of 96.5% and 2.6%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days and excluding most seasoned mortgage-backed securities) 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, 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. Most seasoned, fixed rate 30-year mortgage-backed securities are valued through the use of the investment adviser’s matrix pricing system, which takes into account bond prices, yield differentials, anticipated prepayments and interest rates provided by dealers. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Financial futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — 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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee
24
Investment Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
H Financial Futures Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts. The Portfolio’s investment in financial futures contracts is designed for hedging against changes in interest rates or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Portfolio 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 Forward Sale Commitments — The Portfolio may enter into forward sale commitments to sell generic U.S. government agency MBS to hedge its portfolio positions and/or to enhance return. The proceeds to be received from the forward sale commitment are recorded as a liability and are subsequently valued at approximately the current market value of the underlying security in accordance with the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. The Portfolio records an unrealized gain or loss on investments to the extent of the difference between the proceeds to be received and the value of the open forward sale commitment on the day of determination. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment or the delivery of securities, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Portfolio entered into the commitment.
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. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $2,407,876 of which $11,859 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $2,396,017 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.

5 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its 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 the Portfolio 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.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2010 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | $ | (923,139 | ) | | |
|
|
At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Portfolio holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Portfolio purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk at October 31, 2010 was as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
The average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $111,923,000.
6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
7 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Investment Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors ofInvestment Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Investment Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits. The supplementary data for the year ended October 31, 2006, was audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on that supplementary data in their report dated December 27, 2006.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures include confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Investment Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the four years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including yield where relevant) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
| • | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of similarly managed funds and appropriate indices; |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management
| | |
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
| • | Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds; |
| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser
| | |
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |

Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory and administrative agreement of Eaton Vance Low Duration Fund (the “Fund”) with Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”), as well as the investment advisory agreements of Floating Rate Portfolio, Government Obligations Portfolio, Investment Portfolio and Multi-Sector Portfolio, the portfolios in which the Fund is authorized to invest (the “Portfolios”), each with Boston Management and Research (“BMR”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory and administrative agreement and the investment advisory agreements for the Fund and the Portfolios, respectively. EVM and BMR are each referred to as an “Adviser” herein; EVM with respect to the Fund and BMR with respect to the Portfolios. EVM and BMR are affiliates.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory and administrative agreement of the Fund and the investment advisory agreements of each Portfolio the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Portfolio by BMR and to the Fund by EVM. BMR manages the Portfolios, while EVM allocates the assets of the Fund among the Portfolios and is also authorized to cause the Fund to make direct investments in the same type of securities in which the Portfolios are authorized to invest.
The Board considered EVM’s and BMR’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund and Portfolios, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund and Portfolios. In particular, the Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing special considerations relevant to investing in investment grade securities. With respect to the Floating Rate Portfolio, the Board noted the experience of BMR’s large group of bank loan investment professionals and other personnel who provide services to the Portfolios, including portfolio managers and analysts. With respect to the Government Obligations Portfolio, the Board noted BMR’s experience in investing in mortgage-backed securities, including seasoned mortgage-backed securities. For all the Portfolios, the Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund and each Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio

holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by EVM and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by EVM and BMR, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory and administrative agreement and investment advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board also considered the performance of the underlying Portfolios. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolios and the Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. The Board considered that EVM is waiving its investment advisory and administration fee in its entirety and has agreed to pay other expenses of the Fund, which will lower the Fund’s total expense ratios.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolios and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolios, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and Portfolios and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolios, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolios increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Portfolios and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolios, the structure of the advisory fees, which include breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Privacy. The Eaton Vance organization is committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
| | |
| • | Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Eaton Vance fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions. |
|
| • | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Eaton Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker/dealers. |
|
| • | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
|
| • | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Boston Management and Research, and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. Our Privacy Policy only applies to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial adviser/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such adviser’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122. This description is also available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Economic and Market Conditions
• | | Welcome to Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund, which commenced operations on August 31, 2010. For the two-month period ending October 31, 2010, the strongest returns in the global credit markets were generated by the riskier assets. Credit spreads were approximately 100 basis points tighter at the end of the period in U.S. high-yield corporate debt, and the S&P 500 returned approximately 13% for the two-month period. Yields on U.S. Treasuries fell in the short to intermediate part of the curve with the 2-year, 3-year, and 5-year bonds declining 14, 20, and 17 basis points, respectively. Yields at the long end rose, with yields on the 10-year and 30-year bonds increasing by 13 and 46 basis points, respectively. |
|
• | | Turning to the global currency markets, the two months were a period of broad dollar weakness. The euro appreciated approximately 10% versus the U.S. dollar—one of the strongest currency returns in the world for the two-month period. Although most currencies appreciated versus the dollar, only a few Eastern European currencies appreciated versus the euro. |
|
• | | Globally, the pace of acceleration in economic activity moderated, and the focus remained on the weakening in the U.S. economy and the anticipation of another round of quantitative easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund1 seeks to provide total return by investing in securities, derivatives, and other instruments to establish long and short investment exposures around the world. The Fund’s long and short investments are primarily sovereign exposures, including sovereign debt, currencies and interest rates. The Fund may also invest in corporate debt issuers and, to a more limited extent, equities and commodities. Sovereign exposures include both developed and emerging markets. |
|
• | | For the two-month period from its inception on August 31, 2010, through October 31 2010, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the Index).2 The Fund’s foreign investments contributed to the Fund’s outperformance. Regionally, Eastern Europe and Asia were the sources of the strongest returns, while Africa was a significant negative for the Fund. |
|
• | | Looking more closely at Eastern Europe, Turkey produced the strongest returns for the Fund. Turkey had a surprisingly strong recovery from the international economic crisis, and the Fund’s position in Turkish inflation-linked bonds benefited from strong demand, as concerns about future inflation became an investor focus. Additionally, the Polish zloty was one of the few Eastern European currencies to appreciate versus the euro; the Fund’s position in zloty currency forward contracts contributed positively to its performance during the period. |

|
2 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
|
3 | | Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | Emerging Asian currencies benefited from broad dollar weakness and flows into the region. In particular, the Indian rupee contributed significantly to the Fund’s performance. Additionally, the South Korean won was one of the strongest currency returns in both the region and the world, benefiting the Fund’s long position. |
|
• | | The largest source of negative performance for the Fund during the period was a short South African rand position. Despite its endowment with natural resources, management remained concerned about the country’s fundamentals and maintained a short position, utilizing currency forwards, in this country. |
|
• | | The Fund’s duration was 1.62 years as of October 31, 2010. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a fund or a fixed-income security to changes in interest rates. A shorter duration instrument normally has less exposure to interest rate risk than longer duration instruments. |

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class A of the Fund with that of the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the BofA Merrill Lynch Index), an unmanaged index of U.S. Treasury securities maturing in 90 days. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each of Class A of the Fund and the BofA Merrill Lynch Index. Class A total returns are presented at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The table includes the total returns of each Class of the Fund at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The actual expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 31, 2010 – October 31, 2010). The hypothetical expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the one-half year period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on August 31, 2010. As of October 31, 2010, the Fund offered three classes of shares. Effective December 1, 2010, the Fund began offering Class R shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I and Class R shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage 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 (47.5% at October 31, 2010). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The consolidated financial statements of the Portfolio, including the consolidated 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.
A Investment Valuation — Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
B Income — The Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’s pro-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 October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Fund’s initial period of operations from August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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

Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) 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, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
During the period from the start business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized gain was increased by $323,241, accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $50,115 and paid-in capital was decreased by $373,356 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for net operating losses, swap contracts, premium amortization and foreign currency gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | $ | 465,968 | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 4,463 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, tax accounting for straddle transactions, futures contracts, swap contracts and premium amortization.
3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser and administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for investment advisory and administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets that are not invested in other investment companies for which EVM or its affiliates serve as investment adviser or administrator (“Investable Assets”) up to $500 million, and is payable monthly. On Investable Assets of $500 million and over, the annual fee is reduced. For the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, the Fund incurred no adviser and administration fee on Investable Assets. To the extent the Fund’s assets are invested in the Portfolio, the Fund is allocated its share of the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. EVM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that they exceed 1.55%, 2.25%, and 1.25% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after February 28, 2013. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM was allocated $112,934 of the Fund’s operating expenses for the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, EVM earned $8 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $20,654 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser and administration fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay
11
Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.30% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010 amounted to $3,553 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class C Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $2,130 for Class C shares representing 0.75% (annualized) of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
The Class C Plan also authorizes the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010 amounted to $710 for Class C shares.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. For the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received no CDSCs paid by Class A and Class C shareholders.
6 Investment Transactions
For the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $110,055,318 and $23,454,104, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Portfolio was organized on June 3, 2010 and remained inactive until August 31, 2010 except for matters related to its organization, including the sale of initial interests of $106,000 and the expensing of $5,000 of organization costs, and change in its name from Global Strategies Portfolio. The Portfolio commenced operations on August 31, 2010. The Portfolio’s investment objective is total return. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund, Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund and Eaton Vance International (Cayman Islands) Strategic Income Fund held an interest of 47.5%, 45.3% and 7.1%, respectively in the Portfolio.
The Portfolio seeks to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in Eaton Vance GMAP Commodity Subsidiary, Ltd. (the Subsidiary), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Portfolio organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands with the same objective and investment policies and restrictions as the Portfolio. The Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The net assets of the Subsidiary at October 31, 2010 were $2,763,576 or 1.5% of the Portfolio’s consolidated net assets. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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.
A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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, 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 securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less (excluding those that are non-U.S. dollar denominated, which typically are valued by a pricing service or dealer quotes) are generally
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Precious metals are valued at the New York Composite mean quotation reported by Bloomberg at the valuation time. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices at valuation time as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority for U.S. listed options or by the relevant exchange or board of trade for non-U.S. listed options. Over-the-counter options (including options on securities, indices and foreign currencies) are valued by a third party pricing service using techniques that consider factors including the value of the underlying instrument, the volatility of the underlying instrument and the period of time until option expiration. Financial futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Portfolio’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. 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. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
20
Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Inflation adjustments to the principal amount of inflation-adjusted bonds and notes are reflected as interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign interest and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
The Subsidiary is treated as a controlled foreign corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and is not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Portfolio is treated as a U.S. shareholder of the Subsidiary. As a result, the Portfolio is required to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes all of the Subsidiary’s income, whether or not such income is distributed by the Subsidiary. If a net loss is realized by the Subsidiary, such loss is not generally available to offset the income earned by the Portfolio.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio’s initial period of operations from August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of
21
Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
I Financial Futures Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts. The Portfolio’s investment in financial futures contracts is designed for hedging against changes in interest rates or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Portfolio 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.
J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Portfolio enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contract is adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contract has been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K Purchased Options — Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Portfolio is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. If an option which the Portfolio had purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Portfolio will
realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Portfolio exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.
L Cross-Currency Swaps — Cross-currency swaps are interest rate swaps in which interest cash flows are exchanged between two parties based on the notional amounts of two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. Cross-currency swaps also involve the exchange of the notional amounts at the start of the contract at the current spot rate with an agreement to re-exchange such amounts at a later date at either the same exchange rate, a specified rate or the then current spot rate. The entire principal value of a cross-currency swap is subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations.
M Credit Default Swaps — When the Portfolio is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Portfolio is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Portfolio pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Portfolio would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits from the contract. When the Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Portfolio could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap
22
Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
agreement entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Portfolio effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Portfolio also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Up-front payments or receipts, if any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
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 and the Subsidiary. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between the Portfolio and BMR and the investment advisory agreement between the Subsidiary and BMR, the Portfolio and Subsidiary each pay BMR a fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of its respective average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.95% from $500 million but less than $1 billion, 0.925% from $1 billion but less than $2.5 billion, 0.90% from $2.5 billion but less than $5 billion, and 0.88% of average daily net assets of $5 billion or more, and is payable monthly. In determining the investment adviser fee for the Portfolio and Subsidiary, the applicable advisory fee rate is based on the average daily net assets of the Portfolio (inclusive of its interest in the Subsidiary). Such fee rate is then assessed separately on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets (exclusive of its interest in the Subsidiary) and the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets to determine the amount of the investment adviser fee. For the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee was 1.00% (annualized) of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets and amounted to $235,142.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.

* | | If the Portfolio is the seller of credit protection, the notional amount is the maximum potential amount of future payments the Portfolio could be required to make if a credit event, as defined in the credit default swap agreement, were to occur. At October 31, 2010, such maximum potential amount for all open credit default swaps in which the Portfolio is the seller was $11,730,000. |
|
** | | The contract annual fixed rate represents the fixed rate of interest received by the Portfolio (as a seller of protection) or paid by the Portfolio (as a buyer of protection) annually on the notional amount of the credit default swap contract. |
|
*** | | Current market annual fixed rates, utilized in determining the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of period end, serve as an indicator of the market’s perception of the current status of the payment/performance risk associated with the credit derivative. The current market annual fixed rate of a particular reference entity reflects the cost, as quoted by the pricing vendor, of selling protection against default of that entity as of period end and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. The higher the fixed rate, the greater the market perceived risk of a credit event involving the reference entity. A rate identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the reference entity. |

The Portfolio pays interest on the currency received and receives interest on the currency delivered. At the termination date, the notional amount of the currency received will be exchanged for the notional amount of the currency delivered.
At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the Portfolio is subject to the following risks:
Credit Risk: The Portfolio enters into credit default swap contracts to manage its credit risk, to gain exposure to a credit in which the Portfolio may otherwise invest, or to enhance return.
Equity Risk: The Portfolio enters into options on an equity index to enhance return.
Foreign Exchange Risk: The Portfolio engages in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency options to enhance return, to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, to manage certain investment risks and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.
Interest Rate Risk: The Portfolio holds fixed-rate bonds. The value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Portfolio enters into cross-currency swap contracts. The Portfolio also purchases and sells U.S. Treasury and foreign debt futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The Portfolio enters into swap contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Portfolio’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Portfolio for those derivatives in a liability position. At October 31, 2010, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net
liability position was $1,892,913. The aggregate fair value of assets pledged as collateral by the Portfolio for such liability was $1,271,588 at October 31, 2010.
The non-exchange traded derivatives in which the Portfolio invests, including swap contracts, over-the counter options and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. At October 31, 2010, the maximum amount of loss the Portfolio would incur due to counterparty risk was $2,053,031, representing the fair value of such derivatives in an asset position, with the highest amount from any one counterparty being $661,478. Such maximum amount would be reduced by any unamortized upfront payments received by the Portfolio. Such amount would be increased by any unamortized upfront payments made by the Portfolio. To mitigate this risk, the Portfolio has entered into master netting agreements with substantially all its derivative counterparties, which allows it and a counterparty to aggregate amounts owed by each of them for derivative transactions under the agreement into a single net amount payable by either the Portfolio or the counterparty. At October 31, 2010, the maximum amount of loss the Portfolio would incur due to counterparty risk would be reduced by approximately $771,000 due to master netting agreements. Counterparties may be required to pledge collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities or highly-rated bonds for the benefit of the Portfolio if the net amount due from the counterparty with respect to a derivative contract exceeds a certain threshold. The amount of collateral posted by the counterparties with respect to such contracts would also reduce the amount of any loss incurred.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) by risk exposure at October 31, 2010 was as follows:

The average notional amounts of futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swap contracts outstanding during the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately $10,874,000, $145,214,000 and $47,311,000, respectively.
The average number of purchased option contracts outstanding during the period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately 13,200,000.
6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 period from the start of business on August 31, 2010 to October 31, 2010.
7 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by entities whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
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) |

Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio (formerly Global Strategies Portfolio):
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio (formerly Global Strategies Portfolio) and subsidiary (the “Portfolio”), including the consolidated portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statement of operations, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets, and the consolidated supplementary data for the period from the start of business, August 31, 2010, to October 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio and subsidiary as of October 31, 2010, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the supplementary data for the period from the start of business, August 31, 2010, to October 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that for a fund to enter into an investment advisory agreement with an investment adviser, the fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), must approve the agreement and its terms at an in-person meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on August 9, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the investment advisory and administrative agreement of Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust, with Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”) and the investment advisory agreement of Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) with Boston Management and Research (“BMR”). EVM and BMR are sometimes each referred to as an “Adviser” herein; EVM with respect to the Fund and BMR with respect to the Portfolio. EVM and BMR are affiliates. The Board reviewed information furnished with respect to the Fund and the Portfolio for the June 7, 2010 and August 9, 2010 meetings as well as information previously furnished with respect to the approval of other investment advisory agreements for other Eaton Vance Funds. Such information included, among other things, the following:

| • | Copies of or descriptions of the Adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board concluded that the terms of the investment advisory and administrative agreement of the Fund with EVM and the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio with BMR, including their fee structures, are in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the terms of the investment advisory and administrative agreement for the Fund and the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory and administrative agreement of the Fund and the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by EVM and to the Portfolio by BMR.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments to be held by the Fund and the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who will provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund and the Portfolio. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention expected to be devoted to the Fund and the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by the Adviser and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory and administrative agreement of the Fund and the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio.
Fund Performance
Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, it has no performance record.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates to be payable by the Fund and the Portfolio (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund’s management fees as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider and the Fund’s estimated expense ratio for a one-year period. The Board noted that the Portfolio has established a wholly-owned subsidiary for the primary purpose of investing in commodity-related investments. The subsidiary is managed by BMR pursuant to a separate investment advisory contract that is subject to annual approval by the Board. The subsidiary’s fee rates are the same as those charged to the Portfolio, and the Portfolio will not pay any additional management fees with respect to its assets invested in the subsidiary.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund and the Portfolio by the Adviser, the Board concluded with respect to the Fund and the Portfolio that the management fees proposed to be charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits projected to be realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund and the Portfolio. The Board considered the level of profits expected to be realized
31
Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
without regard to revenue sharing or other payments expected to be made by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits expected to be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services to be rendered, the profits expected to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board concluded that the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund and the Portfolio to share such benefits equitably.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents.

The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

Co-Portfolio Manager
• | | In a year characterized by dramatic starts and stops, global equity markets posted solid gains for the year ending October 31, 2010. Following a positive start to the year, investor concerns — including European sovereign risk contagion, credit tightening in China and the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill — blunted global markets’ progress during the April-June period as many investors reduced their exposure to risk-sensitive assets and returned to the sidelines. European and U.S. markets suffered the worst during this period; Asia-Pacific markets fared somewhat better; and emerging markets, as a whole, outperformed developed markets but still recorded losses. |
|
• | | The July-September period brought yet another change of direction, however, as global stocks rebounded on strengthening economic data and attractive valuations. Despite ongoing macro concerns worldwide, many economies began to show signs of growth: U.S. corporate business fundamentals made some positive advancements, the sovereign debt situation in southern Europe showed improvement, and the euro and other currencies strengthened versus the U.S. dollar. By September and October, investors worldwide seemed to have grown more comfortable with risk tolerance, and equities began to establish some traction to the upside. |
|
• | | For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, the MSCI World Index returned 12.74%. Meanwhile, the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index advanced 8.36%, the MSCI All-Country Asia-Pacific Index returned 13.66%, the S&P 500 Index was up 16.52% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 23.56%. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund posted a double-digit return for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010. Its Class A shares at net asset value and its Class I shares both outperformed the Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI World Index (the Index), but lagged the average return of funds in the Lipper peer group.1 Returns for the Fund’s Class B and Class C shares came up short of both the Index and peer group. |
|
• | | The Fund’s performance versus the Index was helped by its approximate 19% allocation to preferred stocks, which outperformed common stocks during the reporting period. It also benefited from opportune sector allocation and security selection in the common stock portion of the Fund. Its relative performance was held back slightly by its overweighted exposure to energy — one of the weakest-performing sectors in the Index during the period — and its underweight in the more-robust information technology sector. Security selection in both those sectors, as well as in consumer discretionary, also weighed on relative results. |
|
• | | Upside performance versus the Index was aided by the Fund’s significant underweight in the financials sector, the weakest area of the Index during the year. Security selection within financials also helped, as it did in the road and rail, and metal and mining industries as well. |
|
• | | Among the detractors in the common stock allocation, energy stocks — especially within the oil, gas and consumable fuels industry — were a drag on relative performance, |

The Fund’s primary benchmark was changed to the MSCI World Index to better reflect its investment strategy. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
| | as many of the stocks in this industry sold off in response to the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this year. Some of the Fund’s communications equipment and aerospace and defense holdings also held back performance. |
|
• | | Consistent with its objective of achieving after-tax total return consisting mainly of tax-favored dividend income and capital appreciation, the Fund was invested primarily in common and preferred stocks that generated a relatively high level of qualified dividend income during the period. For the 12 months ending October 31, 2010, the Fund had approximately 19% of net assets in preferred stocks. Within the common stock portion of the portfolio, the Fund maintained overweightings in energy and utilities, sectors that both tend to represent significant numbers of dividend-paying stocks. |

After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions and may differ from those shown. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of expense reductions. Absent these reductions, performance for certain periods would have been lower. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held by non-taxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions for a period may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period, or because the taxable portion of distributions made during the period was insignificant. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be greater than or equal to Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on April 30, 2010. | |

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Dividend Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Dividend Income Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Dividend Income Fund) (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve after-tax total return by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common and preferred stocks. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. The value of preferred equity securities that are valued by a pricing service on a bond basis will be adjusted by an income factor, to be determined by the investment adviser, to reflect the next anticipated regular dividend. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more
than sixty days) 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, 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 securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 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. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. 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 Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all 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

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Dividend Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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.
The Fund may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
D Federal Taxes — The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $651,942,179 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2011 ($252,492), October 31, 2012 ($2,039,433), October 31, 2013 ($4,586,180), October 31, 2014 ($31,957,656),
October 31, 2015 ($6,082,839), October 31, 2016 ($324,890,175), October 31, 2017 ($258,617,823) and October 31, 2018 ($23,515,581).
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E 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.
F Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
G 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.
H Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Dividend Income Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
The Fund enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
J 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make monthly 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, if any). Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 66,288,811 | | | $ | 80,794,808 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was increased by $94,955 and accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $94,955 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss) and distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 545,469 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (651,942,179 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 191,105,897 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales and investments in partnerships.
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by EVM as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.625% from $500 million up to $1 billion, 0.600% from $1 billion up to $2.5 billion and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $2.5 billion or more and is payable monthly. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Fund’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Fund’s investment adviser fee. The Fund currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Fund’s investment adviser fee totaled $7,743,039 of which $7,920 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $7,735,119 was paid or accrued directly by the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.63% of the Fund’s average daily net
18

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
assets. The administration fee is earned by EVM for administering the business affairs of the Fund and is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $1,845,813. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $48,494 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $169,099 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund who are not members of EVM’s organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund 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 October 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $1,642,607 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of
Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $655,682 and $3,352,969 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $5,501,000 and $47,667,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $218,561 and $1,117,656 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $2,000, $170,000 and $30,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

9 Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund 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.
The Fund is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Fund holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against this risk, the Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund also entered into such contracts to hedge the currency risk of investments it anticipated purchasing.
The non-exchange traded derivatives in which the Fund may invest, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract.
At October 31, 2010, there were no obligations outstanding under these financial instruments.
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is foreign exchange risk for the year ended October 31, 2010 was as follows:

(1) | | Statement of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) – Foreign currency and forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions. |
The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $89,009,000.
10 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended October 31, 2010.
11 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
12 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Dividend Income Fund (formerly Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Dividend Income Fund) (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Dividend Income Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:

| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |

| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Dividend Income Fund (the “Fund”) with Eaton Vance Management (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. The Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as special considerations relevant to investing in dividend-paying common and preferred stock. In particular, the Board evaluated the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities and experience in managing funds that seek to maximize after-tax returns. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information provided by the Adviser in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees (including administrative fees) and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser in connection with its relationship with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the Adviser’s profitability may have been affected by such increases or decreases. The Board also concluded that the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and the Fund.

The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

• | | In a year characterized by dramatic starts and stops, international equity markets posted solid gains for the 12 months ending October 31, 2010. Following a positive start to the year, investor concerns — including European sovereign risk contagion, credit tightening in China and the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill — blunted global markets’ progress during the April-June period as many investors reduced their exposure to risk-sensitive assets and returned to the sidelines. Even a $1 trillion EU loan package was not enough to calm pessimistic sentiment, as fears of a double-dip recession began to appear. Europe suffered the worst during this period; Asia-Pacific markets fared somewhat better; and emerging markets, as a whole, outperformed developed markets but still recorded losses. |
|
• | | The July-September period brought yet another change of direction, however, as international stocks rebounded on strengthening economic data and attractive valuations. The sovereign debt situation in southern Europe began to improve, as did the standing of the euro and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Emerging market growth stocks had the strongest performance; according to International Monetary Fund estimates, emerging market economies were expected to grow at 7.1% in 2010, versus a rate of 2.7% in developed countries. During the third quarter, capital raised in emerging markets amounted to $138 billion, twice that of developed markets. |
|
• | | For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index advanced 8.36%, the MSCI All-Country Asia-Pacific Index returned 13.66%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 23.56%. |
Management Discussion
• | | Against this backdrop, the Fund1 posted positive returns, but underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (the Index),2 for the year ending October 31, 2010. Within the Index, materials, industrials, consumer staples and consumer discretionary contributed the most to returns for the year, while financials and energy detracted. |
|
• | | The European sovereign debt crisis that spread contagion into emerging markets in the first half of 2010 had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. In particular, the Fund’s allocation to Czech Republic and Poland hurt results. While emerging markets did |

If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. During the period, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1.00% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of settlement of purchase.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
| | outperform later in the period and make a positive contribution to performance from a country allocation perspective, the Fund’s performance was hampered by security selection. Brazil, the Fund’s largest emerging market country, performed poorly for the Fund, primarily due to an energy holding which underperformed, but the country also lagged emerging markets overall after prior year outperformance. |
|
• | | In developed markets, the Fund’s underweight relative to the Index in the outperforming U.K. was a drag on performance, as was a lack of exposure to Australia. Exposure to Greece earlier in the year was a detriment to performance due to the sovereign debt crisis and austerity measures. Overweight allocations in top-performing Singapore and Hong Kong benefited the Fund, as well as underweights in Japan and France. Stock selection in Japan and in Switzerland also helped. |
|
• | | A relative overweighting and stock selection in the energy sector, as well as Fund holdings in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors, detracted from performance. Stock selection in health care, materials and information technology, on the other hand, made positive contributions to returns. |

It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who continue to hold their shares. “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” also reflects the impact of taxes on capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares. It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who sell their shares.

After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal income tax rate and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held by non-taxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions for a period may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period, or because the taxable portion of distributions made during the period was insignificant. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be greater than or equal to Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares. The Fund’s after-tax returns also may reflect foreign tax credits passed by the Fund to its shareholders.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Tax-Managed International Equity 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 (56.1% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio and other income, 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. At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $89,335,208 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2011 ($39,935,051), October 31, 2016 ($12,569,600) and October 31, 2017 ($36,830,557). During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $13,920,569 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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
12
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Redemption Fees — Upon the redemption or exchange of shares by Class A and Class I shareholders within 90 days of the settlement of purchase, a fee of 1% of the current net asset value of these shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
I Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) 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, if any).
Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,680,176 | | | $ | 1,618,668 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $35,046,128, accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $164,790, and paid-in capital was decreased by $35,210,918 due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss) and investments in passive foreign investment companies (PFICs). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 1,170,494 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (89,335,208 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 1,356,338 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to partnership allocations and investments in PFICs.
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 serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $9,323 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $7,725 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the
13
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $185,811 for Class A shares. The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $33,537 and $171,032 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $4,233,000 and $10,412,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $11,179 and $57,011 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $100, $6,000 and $1,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $20,622,965 and $36,794,518, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed International Equity 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 by investing in a diversified portfolio of foreign equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund and Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund held an interest of 56.1% and 43.8%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. 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. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.

Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million and is payable monthly. On net assets of $500 million and over, the annual fee is reduced. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, BMR pays Eagle Global Advisors, L.L.C. (Eagle) a portion of its adviser fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Portfolio. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $1,827,981 of which $481 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $1,827,500 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 1.00% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, 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 $127,301,198 and $158,405,254, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 164,866,907 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 9,106,669 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (2,065,495 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 7,041,174 | | | |
|
|
The net unrealized appreciation on foreign currency at October 31, 2010 on a federal income tax basis was $60,094.
5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
6 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
7 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including yield where relevant) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
• Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of similarly managed funds and appropriate indices;
| | |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
• Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund;
Information about Portfolio Management
| | |
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
| • | Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds; |
• Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund;
| | |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser
| | |
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |
| • | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |
| • | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s procedures for overseeing third party advisers and sub-advisers; |

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Tax-Managed International Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), and the sub-advisory agreement with Eagle Global Advisors, L.L.C. (“Eagle” or the “Sub-adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s and the Sub-adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities supervising the Sub-adviser. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management. With respect to the Sub-adviser, the Board took into consideration the resources available to the Sub-adviser in fulfilling its duties under the sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-adviser’s experience in managing international equity portfolios.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, and of the Sub-adviser. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
30
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed International Equity Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Portfolio and the Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, to the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser or Sub-adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients. The Board also concluded that, in light of its role as a sub-adviser not affiliated with the Adviser, the Sub-adviser’s profitability in managing the Portfolio was not a material factor.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates, Eagle, and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions

William R. Hackney III, CFA
Portfolio Manager
• | | U.S. equity markets seesawed their way to solid gains for the year ending October 31, 2010. Over the course of the year, investors’ attitudes toward risk were buffeted by unsettling macroeconomic factors and political uncertainty. In fact, until the final few months of the period, the markets continued to exhibit the general lack of confidence and ongoing volatility that has characterized the equity space through most of the past two years. |
• | | Domestic equities made a strong start to the period but pulled back in the April-June period, as sovereign debt problems in the eurozone, slower growth in China and a turbulent U.S. political environment chilled investor sentiment. Despite these macro concerns, however, signs of economic growth, albeit somewhat anemic, and improvements in corporate business fundamentals also began to appear. By September and October, investors seemed to have grown more comfortable with risk tolerance, and equities began to establish some traction to the upside. |
|
• | | For the year as a whole, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.52%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 17.62% and the NASDAQ Composite Index was up 23.88%. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks across all market capitalizations, and mid- and small-cap stocks outpaced large-cap stocks. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund1 registered double-digit returns for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, lagging the performance of its benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index (the Index),2 while finishing roughly in line with the average return of funds in its Lipper peer group. All 10 economic sectors in the Index posted strong returns for the 12 months, with the cyclical materials, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors leading the way. Financials had the lowest returns, although the sector still gained nearly 23% for the year. |
|
• | | The Fund’s underperformance versus the Index was primarily due to security selection, particularly in the health care and financials sectors. Two positions in health care equipment and supplies affected results. A below-benchmark allocation to the outperforming pharmaceuticals group also negatively impacted performance. In financials, the Fund’s picks in real estate investment trust stocks did not keep pace with comparable names in the Index, while an underweighting in that sector also detracted. |

| | |
1 | | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Portfolio, with the same objective and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
2 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
|
3 | | These returns do not include the 5.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Absent an allocation of certain expenses to the administrator of the Fund and the sub-adviser of the Portfolio, the returns would be lower. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
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.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | Upside support came from favorable security selection in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary and energy sectors, with further boosts from the Fund’s stock picks in the commercial banks, communications equipment, and energy equipment and services industries. Within the consumer discretionary sector, the Fund benefited from security selection in internet & catalog retail and auto components. |
|
• | | At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund’s holdings were broadly diversified across nine of the 10 economic sectors that compose the Index. The Fund had no exposure to the telecommunication services sector, which represented less than 1% of the market capitalization of the Index during the period. In making investment decisions, the portfolio manager balances investment and tax considerations in seeking to build and maintain a portfolio of mid-cap stocks that he believes will perform well over the long term on an after-tax basis. Using a combination of growth and value disciplines, management emphasizes higher-quality companies whose stocks are considered to trade at attractive valuations relative to earnings or cash flow per share. |

Class A, Class B and Class C of the Fund commenced investment operations on 3/4/02. Returns at Public Offering Price (POP) reflect the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge and applicable CDSC, while Returns at Net Asset Value (NAV) do not. Absent an allocation of certain expenses to the administrator of the Fund and the sub-adviser of the Portfolio, the returns would be lower.
After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held by non-taxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions for a period may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period, or because the taxable portion of distributions made during the period was insignificant. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be greater than or equal to Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund as of October 31, 2010
FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

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

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core 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 (57.1% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $1,631,301 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) 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, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized gain was increased by $11,141, accumulated net investment loss was decreased by $260,940 and paid-in capital was decreased by $272,081 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for net operating losses and distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | $ | 191,300 | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 11,375,231 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, partnership allocations and distributions from REITs.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
The administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $59,777. EVM and the sub-adviser of the Portfolio, Atlanta Capital Management Company, LLC (Atlanta Capital), have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that they exceed 1.60% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A and 2.35% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class B and Class C. This agreement may be changed or terminated after February 28, 2011. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and Atlanta Capital were allocated $10,641 and $23,409, respectively, of the Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2010. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $2,698 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $8,026 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $74,538 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD

during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $23,798 and $51,476 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $63,000 and $552,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $7,933 and $17,158 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $1,000 and $300 of CDSCs paid by Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively, and no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $8,685,650 and $6,107,297, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core 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 by investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of mid-cap companies. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund and Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund held an interest of 57.1% and 42.9%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. 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 value, or 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 all 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 — 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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities.
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
22
Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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 Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.80% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, and is payable monthly. On net assets of $500 and over, the annual fee is reduced. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, BMR pays Atlanta Capital Management Company, LLC (Atlanta Capital), an affiliate of EVM, a portion of its adviser fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the investment adviser fee was 0.80% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets and amounted to $607,269. BMR has agreed to reduce the investment adviser fee by an amount equal to that portion of commissions paid to broker-dealers in execution of security transactions attributed to the Portfolio that is consideration for third-party research services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, BMR waived $3,240 of its investment adviser fee. Atlanta Capital, in turn, waived $3,240 of its sub-advisory fee.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, 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 $24,387,077 and $29,943,382, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 56,558,134 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 23,140,706 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (234,066 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 22,906,640 | | | |
|
|
5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
6 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) |

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:

| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser

| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Mid-Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), and the sub-advisory agreement with Atlanta Capital Management Company, LLC (the “Sub-adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s and the Sub-adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio, including recent changes to such personnel. The Board specifically noted the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities supervising the Sub-adviser. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management. With respect to the Sub-adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-adviser in fulfilling its duties under the sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-adviser’s experience in managing equity portfolios.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. The Board noted the fact that the Administrator waived fees and/or paid expenses for the Fund. The Board also considered management’s proposals to take steps to address the longer-term prospects of the Fund.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including the Sub-adviser, in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, to the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser or Sub-adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Sub-adviser, are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

|
| • | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Boston Management and Research, and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. Our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us.

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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
• | U.S. equity markets seesawed their way to solid gains for the year ending October 31, 2010. Over the course of the year, investors’ attitudes toward risk were buffeted by unsettling macroeconomic factors and political uncertainty. In fact, until the final few months of the period, the markets continued to exhibit the general lack of confidence and ongoing volatility that has characterized the equity space through most of the past two years. |
• | Domestic equities made a strong start to the period but pulled back in the April-June quarter, as sovereign debt problems in the eurozone, slower growth in China and a turbulent U.S. political environment chilled investor sentiment. Despite these macro concerns, however, signs of economic growth, albeit somewhat anemic, and improvements in corporate business fundamentals also began to appear. By September and October, investors seemed to have grown more comfortable with risk tolerance, and equities began to establish some traction to the upside. |
• | For the year as a whole, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.52%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 17.62% and the NASDAQ Composite Index was up 23.88%. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks across all market capitalizations, and mid- and small-cap stocks outpaced large-cap stocks. |
Management Discussion
• | Although it posted a double-digit return for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2010, the Fund1 underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell MidCap Growth Index (the Index). It also lagged the broad U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, and the average return of funds in its Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds peer group.2 |
• | The Fund’s results for the fiscal year fell short of the Index’s return due in part to inopportune sector selection in areas of energy and consumer discretionary, as well as a moderate position, on average, in cash. Some underperforming holdings in the health care sector, especially within the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries, as well as in the textiles, apparel and leisure goods industry also detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index. |
• | Stock selection within the household durables, oil, gas and consumable fuels, and computers and peripherals industries contributed to positive performance, as did having no holdings in utilities, the weakest-performing

| | sector of the Index during the year. |
|
• | | In its choice of which stocks to own, management seeks companies that it believes will generate earnings growth over the long term that is faster than the U.S. economy and the U.S. stock market as a whole. It also seeks to own stocks that are reasonably priced in relation to the fundamental value of the underlying company. Management employs an intensive, research-driven approach that considers many factors in determining the proper mix of securities to own in the portfolio. Among those factors are the attractiveness of a stock’s current valuation, its potential for future price appreciation and an assessment of its risk and return profile. |

1 | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio, with the same objective and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
2 | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
|
3 | These returns do not include the 5.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | Effective November 1, 2010, a new portfolio management team began managing Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund. The new team comprises Kwang Kim, Gerald I. Moore and G.R. Nelson, each of whom is a portfolio manager of the Fund. Messrs. Kim and Nelson are both Vice Presidents of Eaton Vance and Boston Management and Research (BMR) and both have been analysts at Eaton Vance for more than five years. Mr. Moore joined Eaton Vance in October 2010 and is currently a Vice President of Eaton Vance and BMR. Previously, he had served since 2000 as a portfolio manager at Putnam Investments. |
• | | Effective January 1, 2011, the Fund’s primary benchmark index will be changed to the Russell 3000 Growth Index, an unmanaged index of the broad growth segment of the U.S. equity universe, which is deemed to be a more appropriate benchmark for the Fund. |
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund.

After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal income tax rate and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant for shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held by non-taxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions for a period may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period, or because the taxable portion of distributions made during the period was insignificant. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be greater than or equal to Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund as of October 31, 2010
FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Tax-Managed Multi-Cap 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 (55.6% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $27,942,521 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2016 ($14,190,571) and October 31, 2017 ($13,751,950).
During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $9,800,143 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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
11
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) 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, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $111,440, accumulated net investment loss was decreased by $923,732 and paid-in capital was decreased by $1,035,172 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for net operating losses, investments in partnerships and foreign currency gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (27,942,521 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 8,344,858 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales and partnership allocations.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
The administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $111,637. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $6,135 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $8,640 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $119,347 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $47,382 and $152,762 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $573,000 and $1,612,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $15,794 and $50,921 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $7,000, $10,000 and $1,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Multi-Cap 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. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund and Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund held an interest of 55.6% and 44.3%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
22
Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million and is payable monthly. On net assets of $500 million and over, the annual fee is reduced. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $846,657 of which $3,320 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $843,337 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.65% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who
23
Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 October 31, 2010, 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 $242,502,901 and $265,075,834, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 101,461,484 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 17,930,769 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (421,359 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 17,509,410 | | | |
|
|
The net unrealized depreciation on foreign currency transactions at October 31, 2010 on a federal income tax basis was $1,276.
5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
6 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted

Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities and experience in managing funds that seek to maximize after-tax returns. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and by the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

| | |
| • | Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Eaton Vance fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions. |
|
| • | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Eaton Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker/dealers. |
|
| • | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
|
| • | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Boston Management and Research, and Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. Our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial adviser/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such adviser’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
• | U.S. equity markets seesawed their way to solid gains for the year ending October 31, 2010. Over the course of the year, investors’ attitudes toward  Nancy Tooke, CFA Portfolio Manager risk were buffeted by unsettling macro- economic factors and political uncertainty. In fact, until the final few months of the period, the markets continued to exhibit the general lack of confidence and ongoing volatility that has characterized the equity space through most of the past two years. |
• | | Domestic equities made a strong start to the period but pulled back in the April-June quarter, as sovereign debt problems in the eurozone, slower growth in China and a turbulent U.S. political environment chilled investor sentiment. Despite these macro concerns, however, signs of economic growth, albeit somewhat anemic, and improvements in corporate business fundamentals also began to appear. By September and October, investors seemed to have grown more comfortable with risk tolerance, and equities began to establish some traction to the upside. |
|
• | | For the year as a whole, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.52%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 17.62% and the NASDAQ Composite Index was up 23.88%. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks across all market capitalizations, and mid- and small-cap stocks outpaced large-cap stocks. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
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 Discussion
• | | Against this backdrop, the Russell 2000 Index (the Index)1 outpaced many of its larger-cap equity market counterparts and saw double-digit gains in each of its 10 economic sectors for the year ending October 31, 2010. The largest gains were made by the cyclical materials and information technology (IT) sectors, which were up 38% and 37%, respectively. Financials and healthcare had the most modest gains, although each sector returned more than 19%. |
|
• | | The Fund2 posted double-digit returns for the year; however, the Fund underperformed the Index for the year. While an underweighting in the financials sector relative to the Index was a plus, the Fund had no exposure to the outperforming real estate investment trusts industry, which detracted from returns. In addition, the Fund also had poor performance from a data processing company and a research and consulting services holding. |

| | |
1 | | The Fund’s primary benchmark changed from the S&P SmallCap 600 Index to the Russell 2000 Index, as the Russell 2000 Index was deemed to be a more appropriate primary benchmark for the Fund. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
|
2 | | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio, with the same objective and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
3 | | These returns do not include the 5.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. |

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | Within the healthcare sector, the Fund also had disappointing performance from select holdings in equipment and supplies, providers and services, and pharmaceuticals stocks. However, an underweighting in the sector was a positive. |
|
• | | On the upside, stock selection in industrials added to the Fund’s relative returns. Strong performance from a road & rail stock and an auto components company boosted performance, along with Fund picks in energy equipment & services, and oil, gas & consumable fuels. The Fund’s underweight to the utilities sector, coupled with positive stock selection, further added to returns. |
|
• | | The Fund’s tax-managed approach could be more timely than ever. After the equity market losses of the past few years, it’s possible investors could be giving back more gains in the form of taxes, even in an improving investment climate. In addition to making investment decisions based on research and fundamental analysis, the Fund’s strategy takes into account the taxes payable by shareholders in connection with distributions of investment income and net realized gains. Therefore, management approaches portfolio management with an eye toward tax efficiency, using such techniques as low turnover of stocks with appreciated gains and selectively selling underperforming holdings to realize losses. |
The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio manager and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who continue to hold their shares. “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” also reflects the impact of taxes on capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares. It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who sell their shares.

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

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund as of October 31, 2010
FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Tax-Managed Small-Cap 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 (78.9% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $33,969,941 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2017.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $35,254,110 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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
12
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) 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, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $22,245,109, accumulated net investment loss was decreased by $1,285,318 and paid-in capital was decreased by $23,530,427 due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for net operating losses and foreign currency gain (loss). These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (33,969,941 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 5,827,784 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales and partnership allocations.

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.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $13,092 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $5,567 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $232,339 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $37,012 and $191,904 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $7,204,000 and $12,036,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $12,338 and $63,968 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $3,000 and $2,000 of CDSCs paid by Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively, and no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Small-Cap 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 by investing in a diversified portfolio of publicly traded equity securities of small-cap companies. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund and Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund held an interest of 78.9% and 21.0%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
23
Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.625% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million and is payable monthly. On net assets of $500 million and over, the annual fee is reduced. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $1,059,381 of which $2,406 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $1,056,975 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.625% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 October 31, 2010, 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 $184,454,737 and $212,428,766, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 161,008,053 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 15,593,518 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (3,896,422 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 11,697,096 | | | |
|
|
The net unrealized appreciation on foreign currency transactions at October 31, 2010 on a federal income tax basis was $71.
5 Restricted Securities
At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio owned the following securities (representing 0.0% of net assets) which were restricted as to public resale and not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (excluding Rule 144A securities). The Portfolio has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities. The value of these securities is determined based on valuations provided by brokers when available, or if not available, they are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
7 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including yield where relevant) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |

| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |

| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser
| | |
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Tax-Managed Small-Cap Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board also noted the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities and experience in managing funds that seek to maximize after-tax returns. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Portfolio and the Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Portfolio, the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Portfolio and the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund and the Portfolio to continue to share such benefits equitably.

This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) will (if applicable) file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122. This description is also available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
• | U.S.  Gregory R. Greene, CFA Lead Portfolio Managerequity markets seesawed their way to solid gains for the 12 months ending October 31, 2010. Over the course of the year, investors’ attitudes toward risk were buffeted by unsettling macroeconomic factors and political uncertainty. In fact, until the final few months of the period, the markets continued to exhibit the general lack of confidence and ongoing volatility that has characterized the equity space through most of the past two years. |
• | Domestic equities made a strong start to the period but pulled back in the April-June quarter, as sovereign debt problems in the eurozone, slower growth in China and a turbulent U.S. political environment chilled investor sentiment. Despite these macro concerns, however, signs of economic growth, albeit somewhat anemic, and improvements in corporate business fundamentals also began to appear. By September and October, investors seemed to have grown more comfortable with risk tolerance, and equities began to establish some traction to the upside. |
|
• | For the year as a whole, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.52%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 17.62% and the NASDAQ Composite Index was up 23.88%. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks across all market capitalizations, and mid-and small-cap stocks outpaced large-cap stocks. |
|
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
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 Discussion
• | | The Fund1 recorded double-digit gains for the year ending October 31, 2010, but underperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index (the Index)2 and its Lipper peer group. Both industry allocation and stock selection were contributing factors to the shortfall. While the growth style outperformed the value style of investing over the period, small-cap stocks overall posted strong returns, outpacing many larger-cap counterparts. Within the Index, each of the 10 economic sectors saw double-digit returns. The strongest gains came from the materials sector (+38%), with consumer staples (+15%) posting the smallest advances. |
|
• | | Although the Fund’s underweight allocation in the financials sector was positive, it was offset by negative stock selection, making it the largest detractor from performance relative to the Index. In particular, two Fund holdings in thrifts & mortgage finance underperformed, while a lack of exposure to outperforming real estate investment trusts also detracted. Fund positions in energy and health care further dampened relative returns. |

| | |
1 | | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio, with the same objective and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
2 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
|
3 | | These returns do not include the 5.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. Absent an allocation of certain expenses to the administrator of the Fund and the sub-adviser of the Portfolio, the returns would be lower. |

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
• | | Conversely, the Fund had positive contributions from stock selection in the utilities sector – especially from selections in electric utilities – and in the consumer staples sector, where a Fund holding in the personal products group posted strong performance. Outperforming industries, such as software, construction & engineering, and building products also aided returns. |
|
• | | As always, management remains committed to find-ing well managed, inexpensive companies with strong balance sheets and cash flow in order to achieve long-term, after-tax returns for Fund shareholders. |

FUND PERFORMANCE
“Return Before Taxes” does not take into consideration shareholder taxes.

It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who continue to hold their shares. “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” also reflects the impact of taxes on capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares. It is most relevant to taxpaying shareholders who sell their shares.

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

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value 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 (50.2% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $1,673,990 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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
12
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) 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, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net investment loss was decreased by $179,856 and paid-in capital was decreased by $179,856 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for net operating losses. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 6,792,307 | | | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | $ | 1,873,506 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales and partnership allocations.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
The administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $52,459. EVM and the sub-adviser of the Portfolio, Fox Asset Management LLC (Fox), have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that they exceed 1.65%, 2.40%, 2.40% and 1.40% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after February 28, 2011. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and Fox were allocated $32,427 and $97,280, respectively, of the Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2010. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $2,883 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $6,059 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $60,232 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The
13
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $18,860 and $53,347 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately $60,000 and $578,000, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $6,286 and $17,783 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $30, $2,000 and $300 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $4,821,793 and $5,775,664, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value 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 by investing in a diversified portfolio of value stocks of small-cap companies. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund and Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund held an interest of 50.2% and 49.8%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 value, or 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 all 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 — 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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. 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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
22
Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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 Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million and is payable monthly. On net assets of $500 million and over, the annual fee is reduced. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, BMR pays Fox Asset Management LLC (Fox), an affiliate of EVM, a portion of its adviser fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the investment adviser fee was 1.00% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets and amounted to $729,152.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, 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 $34,665,856 and $39,216,088, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 57,952,198 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 14,231,600 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (60,489 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 14,171,111 | | | |
|
|
5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
6 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) |

Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of
Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses

| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |

| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser

| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), and the sub-advisory agreement with Fox Asset Management LLC (the “Sub-adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s and the Sub-adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board also noted the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities supervising the Sub-adviser. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management. With respect to the Sub-adviser, the Board took into account the resources available to the Sub-adviser in fulfilling its duties under the sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-adviser’s experience in managing equity portfolios.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
27
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. The Board considered the fact that the Adviser had waived fees and/or paid expenses for the Fund.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including the Sub-adviser, in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund, to the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Sub-adviser, in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Sub-adviser, are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates, and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates, and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

Portfolio Manager, Stephen J.
Kaszynski. Front row: John D.
Crowley, Matthew F. Beaudry
• | | U.S. equity markets seesawed their way to solid gains for the year ending October 31, 2010. Over the course of the year, investors’ attitudes toward risk were buffeted by unsettling macroeconomic factors and political uncertainty. In fact, until the final few months of the period, the markets continued to exhibit the general lack of confidence and ongoing volatility that has characterized the equity space through most of the past two years. |
|
• | | Domestic equities made a strong start to the period but pulled back in the April-June period, as sovereign debt problems in the eurozone, slower growth in China and a turbulent U.S. political environment chilled investor sentiment. Despite these macro concerns, however, signs of economic growth, albeit somewhat anemic, and improvements in corporate business fundamentals also began to appear. By September and October, investors seemed to have grown more comfortable with risk tolerance, and equities began to establish some traction to the upside. |
|
• | | For the year as a whole, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.52%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 17.62% and the NASDAQ Composite Index was up 23.88%. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks across all market capitalizations, and mid- and small-cap stocks outpaced large-cap stocks. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund1 gained an even 9.00% for Class A shares during the year ending October 31, 2010. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark—the Russell 1000 Value Index (the Index)2 —rose 15.71%. Overall, stock selection relative to the Index was the main cause of the Fund’s underperformance. |
|
• | | Early in the period, the Fund’s focus on financially stable companies with strong business fundamentals held back its performance in a market rally that favored smaller-cap, more-speculative issues. Later in the fiscal year, the Fund suffered again when the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster hammered the prices of many energy stocks that were held by the Fund. |
|
• | | As a result, energy stock selection was the Fund’s largest detractor relative to the Index. The calamitous effect of the Gulf oil spill spread throughout much of the sector, dragging down returns and causing investors to lose confidence in oil stocks. Not surprisingly given this backdrop, the two holdings that hurt Fund performance the most were from the energy sector. One of them is a leading independent oil exploration and production company. The other is the world’s largest drilling company, whose stock price fell precipitously. To make matters worse, the security was held by the Fund but was not part of the Index, worsening the impact to relative performance. A slight overweighting on average in the energy sector did not help either. |
|
• | | The Fund also trailed its benchmark in the consumer discretionary sector, the best-performing subgroup of the Index during the past 12 months, gaining just shy of 37%. This market segment tends to be cyclical—rising or falling in tandem with the prospects for the U.S. |

1 | | The Fund currently invests in a separate registered investment company, Tax-Managed Value Portfolio, with the same objective and policies as the Fund. References to investments are to the Portfolio’s holdings. |
|
2 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
|
3 | | These returns do not include the 5.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B and Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
| | economy. While the Fund was roughly equal-weighted in this sector and enjoyed a solid double-digit gain there, it still underperformed. Not having exposure to some of the better-performing industries in the sector—auto components, automobiles and leisure components—detracted. In addition, a majority of better-performing stocks in the Index had market caps of less than $10 billion, whereas the Fund’s focus was on companies that have market caps above $10 billion, leading market positions and solid balance sheets. While smaller-caps generally outperformed larger-caps across all sectors, it was particularly impactful in consumer discretionary. |
|
• | | On the upside, a combination of security and sector selection in financials contributed to the Fund’s performance. Financials was the Index’s largest sector weighting, accounting for more than 26% of the Index’s weighting on average during the past fiscal year. It also was the worst-performing Index sector during that time. Thus, the Fund benefited from underweighting financials, and its stock picks also outpaced the Index’s securities in the sector. |
|
• | | The Fund’s second-best contributor relative to the Index was stock selection in the industrials sector. The road & rail industry was particularly strong, driven by a modest economic recovery combined with very good industry pricing and cost discipline. |
|
• | | Given the possibility of higher taxes ahead, the Fund’s tax-managed attributes may prove advantageous as we go forward. Longer term, we believe the Fund’s disciplined value style and its research-driven investment process will continue to make it an attractive opportunity for long-term investors. |
|
• | | We thank you for your continued confidence and participation in Tax-Managed Value Fund. |

It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

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

Returns at Public Offering Price (POP) reflect the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge and applicable CDSC, while Returns at Net Asset Value (NAV) do not.
After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held by non-taxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions for a period may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period, or because the taxable portion of distributions made during the period was insignificant. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be greater than or equal to Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on April 30, 2010. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio. | |

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Tax-Managed Value 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 (93.9% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $318,198,783 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2016 ($172,768,968) and October 31, 2017 ($145,429,815).
During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $63,641,591 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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
12
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) 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, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 18,499,820 | | | $ | 15,397,041 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was increased by $386,687, accumulated undistributed net investment income was decreased by $187,915 and paid-in capital was increased by $574,602 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs), foreign currency gain (loss) and investments in partnerships. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 9,962,240 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (318,198,783 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 435,654,326 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, partnership allocations and distributions from REITs.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
The administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $2,600,274. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $67,065 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $32,922 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $2,009,214 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 5% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. Such payments were discontinued during portions of the year ended October 31, 2010 with respect to Class B. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $41,374 and $1,386,013 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.10% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, respectively. At October 31, 2010, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class C Plan was approximately $23,684,000. There were no Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Class B Plan at October 31, 2010.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $107,676 and $462,005 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $1,000, $36,000 and $6,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively. In addition, $33,190 of CDSCs were paid by Class B shareholders directly to the Fund for days when no Uncovered Distribution Charges existed.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $338,948,285 and $198,842,972, respectively.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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.

Tax-Managed Value Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Value 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 by investing in a diversified portfolio of value stocks. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund and Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund held an interest of 93.9% and 6.1%, respectively, 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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund) and Eaton Vance Cash Collateral Fund, LLC (Cash Collateral Fund), affiliated investment companies managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund and Cash Collateral Fund generally value their investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund and Cash Collateral Fund may value their investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. 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
24
Tax-Managed Value Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
rates. 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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreement between the Portfolio and BMR, the fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.625% from $500 million up to $1 billion, 0.600% from $1 billion up to $2 billion and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $2 billion or more, and is payable monthly. The fee reduction cannot be terminated without the consent of the Trustees and shareholders. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $11,488,208 of which $12,439 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $11,475,769 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended
25
Tax-Managed Value Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.62% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, 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 $788,733,176 and $637,165,447, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 1,544,122,806 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 473,068,654 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (1,986,843 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 471,081,811 | | | |
|
|
The net unrealized appreciation on foreign currency transactions at October 31, 2010 on a federal income tax basis was $143,947.
5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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 October 31, 2010.
6 Securities Lending Agreement
The Portfolio has established a securities lending agreement with SSBT as securities lending agent in which the Portfolio lends portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or U.S. Government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. Cash collateral is invested in Cash Collateral Fund. The Portfolio earns interest on the amount invested in Cash Collateral Fund but it must pay (and at times receive from) the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. The net loan rebate fee received by the Portfolio amounted to $11,950 for the year ended October 31, 2010. At October 31, 2010, the value of the securities loaned and the value of the collateral received amounted to $77,901,033 and $79,173,765, respectively. In the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio is subject to potential loss if it is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Portfolio bears risk in the event that invested collateral is not sufficient to meet its obligations due on loans.
7 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Tax-Managed Value Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Tax-Managed Value Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Tax-Managed Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Managed Value Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, 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 supplementary data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
| | |
| • | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
| • | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including yield where relevant) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
| • | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of similarly managed funds and appropriate indices; |
| • | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
| • | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |

| | |
| • | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
| • | Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds; |
| • | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
| • | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Information about each Adviser
| | |
| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
| • | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |
| • | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Tax-Managed Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Value Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including the fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio, including recent changes to such personnel. The Board specifically noted the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities and experience managing funds that seek to maximize after-tax returns. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Portfolio, the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Portfolio and the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund and Portfolio to continue to share such benefits equitably.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions
Scott H. Page, CFA
Co-Portfolio Manager
Craig P. Russ
Co-Portfolio Manager
• | | The bank loan market continued to recover from its 2008 lows for most of the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010. In spite of a small negative return during the April-June quarter, the market, as measured by the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index1 (the Index), produced double-digit performance for the year. The market’s recovery was driven by stronger demand and greater liquidity in the marketplace, along with improved corporate fundamentals. |
• | | The market’s healthier tone was attributed to receding fears over deflation and a possible double-dip recession in the U.S. As a result, investors in search of yield began to take on incremental credit risk, evidenced by improved inflows into high-yield bond and bank loan mutual funds. These greater inflows led to more robust demand in the secondary market, as well as increased refinancing activity, bond-for-loan takeouts, and a general improvement in the overall tone of the market—all of which contributed to tighter credit spreads and higher prices for bank loans. Importantly, and in contrast to other fixed-income sectors, bank loan credit spreads remained above their historical average levels over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). |
• | | Bank loan issuer fundamentals, which have been improving for the past several quarters, continued this trend into the latter months of the fiscal year. Corporate operating earnings growth was up 12.1% in the second calendar quarter of 2010 for public filers in the Index—the fourth consecutive quarter of such increases. Ratings downgrades and new defaults have also diminished to more modest levels, providing additional evidence of fundamental improvements. We believe default rates will continue to decline moderately as older defaults fall off of the rolling 12-month figures and are replaced by fewer new defaults. |
Management Discussion
• | | The Fund’s2 investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund invests primarily in senior floating-rate loans of domestic and foreign borrowers. The Fund utilizes leverage to acquire additional income-producing investments. In managing the Fund, the investment adviser seeks to invest in a portfolio of senior loans that it believes will be less volatile over time than the general loan market. |
• | | The Fund’s investments included 392 borrowers in 37 industries as of October 31, 2010, with an average loan representing 0.24% of total investments, and no industry constituted more than 11% of total investments. Health care, cable and satellite television, and business equipment and services were among the top industry weightings. The Fund’s loans were primarily senior, secured loans to companies with average revenues exceeding $1 billion. |
• | | Management’s use of leverage was a significant factor in the Fund’s outperformance of the Index, as its loans acquired with borrowings were bolstered by |

3 | | These returns do not include the 2.25% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) for Class B or Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the performance would be lower. Advisers Class and Class I shares are offered to investors at net asset value. During the period, Advisers Class, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of the settlement of purchase. Effective January 1, 2011, Advisers Class, Class A and Class I shares will no longer be subject to a redemption fee. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
| | generally strong conditions in the credit markets during the year. Use of leverage creates an opportunity for added return but at the same time creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value). |
• | | During the period, the Fund continued to maintain smaller allocations to very large lower-quality loans—notably, some significant issues that came to market in 2007—than did the Index. This under-weighting detracted from performance because the price of these issues rallied more than the overall market as investors sought higher discount opportunities. The Fund’s lower allocation to B-rated loans, which rallied the most after the May/June volatility, also detracted from relative performance during the summer months, as did an underweight to CCC-rated loans earlier in the year. In addition, the Fund’s investments in European loans contributed positively to its performance during the period. |
|
• | | We continue to believe that the Fund is well positioned for the current market environment. The Fund invests broadly across the floating-rate loan market, providing shareholders with diversified exposure to the asset class.* The cornerstones of the Fund’s investment approach have always been—and continue to be—bottom-up credit research and dedication to diversification. This approach helps the Fund seek lower volatility relative to the overall loan market, while helping to contain risk in difficult credit environments. |

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund offers five classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). The Advisers Class and Class I shares are generally sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Senior Debt 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 (99.9% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $305,569,032 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2011 ($86,475,719), October 31, 2012 ($774,702), October 31, 2013 ($704,819), October 31, 2015 ($14,497,995), October 31, 2016 ($124,652,882), October 31, 2017 ($50,458,629) and October 31, 2018 ($28,004,286).
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s and Predecessor Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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
12
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Redemption Fees — Upon the redemption or exchange of shares by Advisers Class, Class A and Class I shareholders within 90 days of the settlement of purchase, a fee of 1% of the current net asset value of these shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
I Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 65,234,401 | | | $ | 56,102,196 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $159,620,154, distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $6,218,061 and paid-in capital was decreased by $165,838,215 due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for mixed straddles, defaulted bond interest, foreign currency gain (loss) and swap contracts. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 7,611,783 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (305,569,032 | ) | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (29,987,848 | ) | | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (1,884,907 | ) | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, defaulted bond interest, partnership allocations, swap contracts and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
The administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $1,300,834. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $59,279 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $30,935 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received
13
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
distribution and service fees from Advisers Class, Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for the Advisers Class shares and Class A shares (Advisers/Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Advisers/Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Advisers Class and Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $94,589 for Advisers Class shares and $1,356,055 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class B and Class C Plans require the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.40% and 0.60% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $446,349 and $3,392,716 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively, representing 0.40% and 0.60% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.20% and 0.15% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares, respectively. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $223,174 and $848,179 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within four years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 3% in the case of redemptions in the first year of purchase, declining to 2.5% in the second year, 2.0% in the third year, 1.0% in the fourth year and 0.0% thereafter. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $8,000, $63,000 and $28,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Investment Transactions
For the year ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $31,692,604 and $118,970,455, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust) as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1) | | Senior floating-rate interests (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |
|
(2) | | Represents a payment-in-kind security which may pay all or a portion of interest in additional par. |
|
(3) | | Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. See Note 1G for description. |
|
(4) | | Defaulted matured security. Interest rate has been adjusted to reflect non-accrual status. |
|
(5) | | This Senior Loan will settle after October 31, 2010, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
|
(6) | | Currently the issuer is in default with respect to interest payments. Interest rate has been adjusted to reflect non-accrual status. |
|
(7) | | Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. |
|
(8) | | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in certain transactions (normally to qualified institutional buyers) and remain exempt from registration. At October 31, 2010, the aggregate value of these securities is $19,532,809 or 1.4% of the Portfolio’s net assets. |
|
(9) | | Security exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside the United States.

Senior Debt Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Senior Debt 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 provide a high level of current income. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund held a 99.9% interest 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.
A Investment Valuation — Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower’s outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower’s assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Portfolio. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.
Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days 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, 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 securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Portfolio’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. 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. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately.
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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F 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.
G Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Portfolio may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Portfolio is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments. At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
H Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Senior Debt Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
I 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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. 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.
J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Portfolio enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contract is adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contract has been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K Statement of Cash Flows — The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Portfolio is the amount included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
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. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreement between the Portfolio and BMR, the fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Portfolio’s average daily gross assets up to and including $1 billion, 0.45% over $1 billion up to and including $2 billion, and at reduced rates as daily gross assets exceed that level, and is payable monthly. The fee reduction cannot be terminated without the consent of the Trustees and shareholders. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently 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 October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $7,974,088 of which $11,789 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $7,962,299 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio was 0.61% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 October 31, 2010, 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 and including maturities, paydowns and principal repayments on Senior Loans, aggregated $616,064,890 and $674,285,136, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.

6 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and 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.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2010 is as follows:

At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Portfolio is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Portfolio holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against this risk, the Portfolio enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Portfolio also enters into such contracts to hedge the currency risk of investments it anticipates purchasing.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is foreign exchange risk at October 31, 2010 was as follows:

The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $173,085,000.
7 Revolving Credit Agreement
The Portfolio has entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended (the Agreement) with conduit lenders and a bank that allows it to borrow up to $400 million and to invest the borrowings in accordance with its investment practices. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Portfolio. Interest is charged at a rate above the conduits’ commercial paper issuance rate and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Portfolio also pays a program fee of 0.75% per annum on its outstanding borrowings to administer the facility and a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the amount of the facility. Program and commitment fees for the year ended October 31, 2010 totaled $4,737,674 and are included in interest expense in the Statement of Operations. Also included in interest expense is $1,120,880 of amortization of previously paid renewal fees related to the period from November 1, 2009 through February 10, 2010, the date the Agreement was renewed. In connection with the structuring of the Agreement, the Portfolio is obligated to pay a fee of $1 million in quarterly installments of $50,000 through February 2012, of which $250,000 remains outstanding at October 31, 2010. The entire unpaid balance is payable on termination date if the Agreement is terminated by the Portfolio within the first five years and eliminated if the Agreement is terminated by the lenders at their discretion except for an event of default by the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had borrowings outstanding under the Agreement of $360,000,000 at an interest rate of 0.32%. The carrying amount of the borrowings at October 31, 2010 approximated its fair value. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the average borrowings under the Agreement and the average interest rate were $356,369,863 and 0.34%, respectively.
8 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
9 Credit Risk
The Portfolio invests primarily in below investment grade floating-rate loans and floating-rate debt obligations, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to reduce the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments. Such companies are more likely to default on their payments of interest and principal owed than issuers of investment grade bonds. An economic downturn generally leads to a higher non-payment rate, and a loan or other debt obligation may lose significant value before a default occurs. Lower rated investments also may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan’s value.
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
41
Senior Debt Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Senior Debt Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Senior Debt Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Senior Debt Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the supplementary data for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and senior loans owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and selling or agent banks; where replies were not received from brokers and selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Senior Debt Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the supplementary data for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses

| • | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
| • | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
| • | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
| • | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Senior Debt Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) invests, with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. In particular, the Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing special considerations relevant to investing in senior floating rate loans. The Board noted the experience of the Adviser’s large group of bank loan investment professionals and other personnel who provide services to the Portfolio, including portfolio managers and analysts. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and by the Fund (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio of the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. In considering the Fund’s total expense ratio and management fees, the Board noted the impact of the Fund’s use of leverage. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services the Fund, the Portfolio and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Portfolio and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund to continue to share such benefits equitably.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Economic and Market Conditions

Craig Brandon, CFA
Portfolio Manager

Cynthia Clemson, CFA
Portfolio Manager
• | | The 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, opened with early signs of economic recovery and significantly less volatility in the credit markets than in the previous period. Economic growth, while slow, returned during the period, with GDP (gross domestic product) for all four quarters posting positive results. |
• | | Throughout the year, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) held policy rates between 0.00% and 0.25%, acknowledging the slow pace of economic recovery and employment, as well as the relative stability of the inflation outlook. The Fed also telegraphed its intention to institute a second round of quantitative easing, which would entail purchasing significant amounts of longer-term Treasury securities in an effort to accelerate economic recovery. |
• | | There was significant movement in all but the shortest yields on the U.S. Treasury curve during the year, the most significant coming in the 3- to 10-year portion of the curve, where there was a decline in yields of between 80 basis points (0.80%) and 115 basis points (1.15%). |
• | | Demand for Build America Bonds was generally strong throughout the period. While there was an abundance of new issues of these taxable municipal securities being offered at attractive rates of return, demand kept pace with the issuance. Demand was driven not only by attractive new issue opportunities, but also by the forward-looking uncertainty regarding the continuation of the Build America Bond program, which is scheduled to terminate at year end 2010. Bond prices moved higher for most of the period in response to the heavy demand, but ran out of steam and traded lower at the end of the period, particularly within the higher credit-quality sector. Toward the end of the 12-months, however, bonds at the high end of the credit-quality spectrum traded down somewhat as investors seemed to judge them as expensive compared with lower credit-quality bonds. |
Management Discussion
• | | From the date of its commencement of operations on November 17, 2009, through October 31, 2010, the Eaton Vance Build America Bond Fund1 outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Local Authorities Index (the Index). Several factors contributed to this excess performance versus the Index. As a new asset class, Build America Bonds offered investors, such as this Fund, an attractive risk-reward premium for entering this new asset class. As the market developed, the premium was tempered; however, the premium helped the Fund outpace the Index, because the Index is not composed entirely of Build America Bonds. |
• | | The Fund’s concentration in issues at the high end of the credit-quality spectrum also contributed to its |

2 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. |

If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Absent a contractual reimbursement by the administrator of the Fund, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. |

Eaton Vance Build America Bond Fund as of October 31, 2010
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
| | solid performance during the year, as high-quality Build America Bonds performed very well for most of the period. In the closing months of the fiscal year, however, these bonds gave back a portion of their earlier gains, thus diminishing some of the Fund’s overall performance. |
• | | A further upside contribution to the Fund’s relative outperformance came from its selective purchases of some issues that were not contained in the Index. These out-of-index purchases were made because management deemed the issues to offer better relative value, and their subsequent price appreciation helped the Fund outperform. |
|
• | | At the end of October 2010, the Fund was invested solely in securities rated A or higher, with approximately 90% rated AAA or AA. The top sectors in terms of concentration were general obligations, water and sewer, and transportation bonds. |
|
• | | The Fund takes a relative-value approach. This means that management examines individual bonds to evaluate whether they represent good relative value compared with other bonds in the marketplace. Although Build America Bonds are generally high-quality, management believes research is crucial to understanding relative value. Employing a bottom-up process, management has sought to diversify across different states, sectors and issuers. However, the very legislation that created Build America Bonds made this asset class more concentrated than the traditional municipal market. |
|
• | | Going forward, management recognizes that state and local governments face significant budget deficits and challenges surrounding pension reform. These deficits were amplified during the past two years by steep declines in tax revenues. Management will continue to monitor new developments, including those affecting the longevity of the Build America Bond program. Management also will maintain a long-term perspective as it manages the Fund with the same income-focused, relative value approach Eaton Vance has always employed. Eaton Vance believes this approach will serve investors well over the long term. |

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class A of the Fund with that of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Local Authorities Index, the local government component of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which is an unmanaged index of domestic investment-grade bonds. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each of Class A of the Fund and in the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Local Authorities Index. Class A total returns are presented at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The table includes the total returns of each Class of the Fund at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

|
| | A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class C shares and Class I shares on 11/17/09 (commencement of operations) would have been valued at $11,191 ($11,091 after deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge) and $11,281, respectively, on 10/31/10. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. Absent a reduction of expenses by the investment adviser and administrator, the returns would have been lower. Index returns are available as of month end only. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
| | |
|
1 | | Cumulative Total Returns do not include the 4.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. The SEC Cumulative Total Return for Class A shares reflects the maximum 4.75% sales charge. The SEC Cumulative Total Return for Class C shares reflects a 1% CDSC for the first year. 2 Source: Prospectus dated 11/17/09. Net Expense Ratio reflects a contractual expense limitation that continues through February 28, 2013. Thereafter, the expense limitation may be changed or terminated at any time. Without this expense limitation, performance would have been lower. 3 The Fund’s distribution rate represents actual distributions paid to shareholders and is calculated by dividing the last distribution per share (annualized) by the net asset value. 4 The Fund’s SEC yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the 30-day period by the offering price at the end of the period and annualizing that result. 5 It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. |

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Eaton Vance Build America Bond Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Build America Bond Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on November 17, 2009. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in Build America Bond 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 (99.8% at October 31, 2010). 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.
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’s pro-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 October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Fund’s initial period of operations from November 17, 2009 to October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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 Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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.
H Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any) are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.

Distributions declared from: | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 841,538 | | | |
During the period ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized gain was decreased by $15,666, paid-in capital was decreased by $8,481 and accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $24,147 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for amortization of premium and non-deductible expenses. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 46,836 | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 366,304 | | | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (25,914 | ) | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders and amortization of premium.
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 has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent that they exceed 0.95%, 1.70% and 0.70% annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after February 28, 2013. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM was allocated $163,040 of the Fund’s operating expenses for the period ended October 31, 2010. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the period ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $590 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $72,534 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the period ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the period ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $29,847 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class C Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of Class C, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by Class C. For the period ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $32,794 for Class C shares representing 0.75% (annualized) of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class C Plan was approximately $785,000.
The Class C Plan also authorizes the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the period ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $10,905 for Class C shares.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class C Plan. CDSCs received on Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the period ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $1,000 of CDSCs paid by Class C shareholders and no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.
6 Investment Transactions
For the period ended October 31, 2010, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $56,993,005 and $5,425,421, respectively.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Build America Bond Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Build America Bond Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), as of October 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from the start of business, November 17, 2009, to October 31, 2010. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Build America Bond Fund as of October 31, 2010, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from the start of business, November 17, 2009, to October 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Build America Bond Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Build America Bond 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 was organized on October 19, 2009 and remained inactive until November 17, 2009 except for matters related to its organization, including the sale of initial interests of $105,010 and the expensing of $5,000 of organization costs. The Portfolio’s primary investment objective is current income and its secondary objective is capital appreciation. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2010, Eaton Vance Build America Bond Fund held an interest of 99.8% 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.
A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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, 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 securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 value, or 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 all 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.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
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 — 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 any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio’s initial period of operations from November 17, 2009 to October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with
20
Build America Bond Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
H When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Portfolio 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 Portfolio maintains 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 are marked-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.
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. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion, and is payable monthly. On average daily net assets of $1 billion and over, the annual fee is reduced. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund. For the period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $116,352 of which $319 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $116,033 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the period ended October 31, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.60% (annualized) of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. In addition, pursuant to a voluntary expense reimbursement, BMR was allocated $67,687 of the Portfolio’s operating expenses for the period ended October 31, 2010.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees 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 period ended October 31, 2010, 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 and including maturities, for the period ended October 31, 2010 aggregated $52,286,010 and $197,512, respectively.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at October 31, 2010, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
21
Build America Bond Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 52,112,889 | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 768,381 | | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (393,583 | ) | | |
|
|
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 374,798 | | | |
|
|
5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. 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 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. 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. At October 31, 2010, the Portfolio had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $200,000 at an interest rate of 1.44%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at October 31, 2010. The Portfolio’s average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended were not significant.
6 Liquidity Risk
The ability of municipalities to issue Build America Bonds expires on December 31, 2010. If this ability is not extended beyond that date, the number of Build America Bonds available in the market will be limited and there can be no assurance that Build America Bonds will be actively traded. In addition, illiquidity may negatively affect the value of the bonds.
7 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) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Build America Bond Portfolio as of October 31, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Build America Bond Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Build America Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the supplementary data for the period from the start of business, November 17, 2009, to October 31, 2010. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Build America Bond Portfolio as of October 31, 2010, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the supplementary data for the period from the start of business, November 17, 2009, to October 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Eaton Vance Build America Bond Fund
BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that for a fund to enter into an investment advisory agreement with an investment adviser, the fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), must approve the agreement and its terms at an in-person meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Board concluded that the terms of the Portfolio’s investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the terms of the advisory agreement for the Portfolio.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments to be held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who will provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit risk and special considerations relevant to investing in income securities, including municipal bonds. The Board noted the Adviser’s in-house research capabilities. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Portfolio by senior management.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, to be payable by the Portfolio (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the Portfolio’s management fees as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees proposed to be charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits projected to be realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Portfolio. The Board considered the level of profits expected to be realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits expected to be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Portfolio.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits expected to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Portfolio, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Portfolio increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board concluded that the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, can be expected to cause the Adviser and its affiliates and the Portfolio to share such benefits equitably.

The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122.

Co-Portfolio Manager
• | | In a year characterized by dramatic starts and stops, international equity markets posted solid gains for the year ending October 31, 2010. Following a positive start to the year, investor concerns — including European sovereign risk contagion, credit tightening in China and the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill — blunted global markets’ progress during the April-June period as many investors reduced their exposure to risk-sensitive assets and returned to the sidelines. Even a $1 trillion European Union loan package was not enough to calm pessimistic sentiment, as fears of a double-dip recession began to appear. Europe suffered the worst during this period; Asia-Pacific markets fared somewhat better; and emerging markets, as a whole, outperformed developed markets but still recorded losses. |
|
• | | The July-September period brought yet another change of direction, however, as international stocks rebounded on strengthening economic data and attractive valuations. The sovereign debt situation in southern Europe began to improve, as did the standing of the euro and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Emerging market growth stocks had the strongest performance; according to International Monetary Fund estimates, emerging market economies were expected to grow at a rate of 7.1% in 2010, versus a rate of 2.7% in developed countries. During the same period, capital raised in emerging markets amounted to $138 billion, twice that of developed markets. |
|
• | | For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2010, the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index advanced 8.36%, the MSCI All-Country Asia-Pacific Index returned 13.66% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 23.56%. |
Management Discussion
• | | Against this backdrop of strong emerging market performance, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the Index),1 for the year ending October 31, 2010. The Fund’s double-digit returns (for Class A) performed in line with its Lipper peer group. Top contributors to relative performance included underweights to China and Brazil, as well as overweights to Chile and the Philippines. An overweighting in Thailand also added to returns. |
|
• | | Conversely, the Fund’s stake in other frontier markets not included in the Index — including United Arab Emirates, Slovenia, Vietnam, Jordan and Croatia — detracted the most from relative performance. |
| | | | |
Total Return Performance | | | | |

Class A2 | | | 25.77 | % |

Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Average1 | | | 25.81 | |
See page 3 for more performance information.
| | |
1 | | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. MSCI Index returns reflect dividends net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. |
|
2 | | These returns do not include the 5.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. During the period, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1.00% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of settlement of purchase. Effective January 1, 2011, Class A and Class I shares will no longer be subject to a redemption fee. |
|
3 | | Source: MSCI. MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
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 PERFORMANCE
• | | Effective November 1, 2010, the Fund’s name was changed to Eaton Vance Parametric Structured Emerging Markets Fund. Management will continue to employ its structured investment process seeking broad diversification.1 This strategy utilizes a tiered country allocation model and periodic rebalancing to take advantage of certain quantitative and behavioral characteristics of emerging markets. |
| | |
1 | | Diversification cannot assure a profit or eliminate the risk of loss. |

These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. Portfolio information provided in the report may not be representative of the Fund’s current or future investments and may change due to active management.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The line graph and table set forth below provide information about the Fund’s performance. The line graph compares the performance of Class A of the Fund with that of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, an unmanaged index of emerging markets common stocks. The lines on the graph represent the total returns of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in each of Class A and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Class A total returns are presented at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The table includes the total returns of each Class of the Fund at net asset value and maximum public offering price. The performance presented below does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

1 | | Average Annual Total Returns do not include the 5.75% maximum sales charge for Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. SEC Average Annual Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 5.75% sales charge and, for Class C, reflect a 1% CDSC for the first year. Class I shares are offered at net asset value. During the period, Class A and Class I shares were subject to a 1.00% redemption fee if redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of settlement of purchase. Effective January 1, 2011, Class A and Class I shares will no longer be subject to a redemption fee. Absent expense limitations for certain periods by the adviser, the sub-adviser and the administrator, the returns would be lower. |

|
| | A $10,000 hypothetical investment at net asset value in Class C shares and Class I shares on 6/30/06 (commencement of operations) would have been valued at $15,485 and $16,174, respectively, on 10/31/10. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

FUND EXPENSES
Example: As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 – October 31, 2010).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Parametric Structured Emerging Markets Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Structured Emerging Markets Fund) (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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.
A Investment Valuation — Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) 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 therefore 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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, 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 securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments 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 Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all 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 — 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 the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed,
30
Eaton Vance Parametric Structured Emerging Markets Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
D Federal Taxes — The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
In addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, the Fund estimates the accrual for such taxes, if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Tax expense attributable to unrealized appreciation is included in the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains taxes on securities sold are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments.
At October 31, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $47,661,936 which will 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 will 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. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2016 ($2,790,563) and October 31, 2017 ($44,871,373). A capital loss carryforward of $7,660,713 included in the amounts above is available to the Fund as a result of the reorganization on September 24, 2010 (see Note 12). Utilization of this capital loss carryforward may be limited in accordance with certain income tax regulations.
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
During the year ended October 31, 2010, a capital loss carryforward of $2,226,891 was utilized to offset net realized gains by the Fund.
E 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.
F Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
G 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.
H Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I 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 the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-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
31
Eaton Vance Parametric Structured Emerging Markets Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
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.
J Redemption Fees — Upon the redemption or exchange of shares by Class A or Class I shareholders within 90 days of the settlement of purchase, a fee of 1% of the current net asset value of these shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
K Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. agency obligations, commercial paper and mortgage-backed securities involving any or all of its assets with banks and broker-dealers determined to be creditworthy by the Fund’s investment adviser, Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Under a repurchase agreement, the Fund buys a security at one price and simultaneously promises to sell that same security back to the seller at a higher price for settlement at a later date. The Fund’s repurchase agreements provide that the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement, and will be marked to market daily. The repurchase date is usually overnight, but may be within seven days of the original purchase date. In the event of bankruptcy of the counterparty or a third party custodian, the Fund might experience delays in recovering its cash or experience a loss.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) 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, if any). Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 9,000,582 | | | $ | 4,918,001 | | | |
During the year ended October 31, 2010, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $1,119,616, accumulated undistributed net investment income was decreased by $1,016,076 and paid-in capital was decreased by $103,540 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss), investments in passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and foreign capital gains taxes. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 20,746,506 | | | |
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (47,661,936 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 359,238,490 | | | |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, investments in PFICs and partnership allocations.
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by EVM as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.80% from $500 million up to $1 billion, 0.775% from $1 billion up to $2.5 billion and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $2.5 billion or more, and is payable monthly. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the investment adviser fee amounted to $10,601,526 or 0.81% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, EVM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), an affiliate of EVM. EVM pays Parametric a portion of its advisory fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. The administration fee is earned by EVM for administering the business affairs of the Fund and is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the administration fee amounted to $1,955,154.
32
Eaton Vance Parametric Structured Emerging Markets Fund as of October 31, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
EVM and Parametric have agreed to waive their fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses exceed 1.60%, 2.35% and 1.35% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively, through February 28, 2011. Thereafter, the waiver and reimbursement may be changed or terminated at any time. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and Parametric waived no fees and reimbursed no expenses for the year ended October 31, 2010.
EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. For the year ended October 31, 2010, EVM earned $11,118 in sub-transfer agent fees. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $29,682 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2010. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Except for Trustees of the Fund who are not members of EVM’s organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund 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 October 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that the Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $304,512 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class C Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for Class C shares sold, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of Class C, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by Class C. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $139,983 for Class C shares representing 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. At October 31, 2010, the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class C Plan was approximately $13,141,000.
The Class C Plan also authorizes the Fund to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended October 31, 2010 amounted to $46,661 for Class C shares.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund’s Class C Plan. CDSCs received on Class C redemptions when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist are credited to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $55,000 and $19,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $701,408,618 and $101,508,593, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.

| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 1,567,806,683 | | | |
|
|

|
|
9 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended October 31, 2010.
10 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
11 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.) |
34

| | |
| • | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

12 Reorganization
As of the close of business on September 24, 2010, the Fund acquired the net assets of Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Fund (Emerging Markets Fund) pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders of Emerging Markets Fund. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 3,405,956 shares of Class A of the Fund (valued at $50,476,946) for the 2,044,212 shares of Class A and 561,782 shares of Class B of the Emerging Markets Fund, each outstanding on September 24, 2010. In conjunction with the reorganization, the Emerging Markets Fund received its pro rata share of cash and securities from the Emerging Markets Portfolio in a complete liquidation of its 99.9% interest therein. The investment portfolio of Emerging Markets Portfolio, with a fair value of $34,060,510 and identified cost of $26,838,935 was the principal asset acquired by the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the identified cost of the investments received from the Emerging Markets Portfolio was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $1,616,648,886. The net assets of Emerging Markets Fund at that date of $50,476,946, including $7,660,713 of accumulated net realized losses and $7,136,741 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Fund, resulting in combined net assets of $1,667,125,832. Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2009, the beginning of the Fund’s annual reporting period, the Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2010 are as follows:
| | | | | | |
Net investment income | | $ | 14,529,356 | | | |
Net realized gains | | $ | 9,874,746 | | | |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 329,419,800 | | | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Emerging Markets Fund that have been included in the Fund’s Statement of Operations since September 24, 2010.
13 Name Change
Effective November 1, 2010, the name of the Fund was changed from Eaton Vance Structured Emerging Markets Fund.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Parametric Structured Emerging Markets Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Structured Emerging Markets Fund):
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Parametric Structured Emerging Markets Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Structured Emerging Markets Fund) (the ”Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2010, and 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, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights, based on our audits. The financial highlights for the period from the start of business, June 30, 2006, to October 31, 2006, were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights in their report dated December 20, 2006.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Parametric Structured Emerging Markets Fund as of October 31, 2010, 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 four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement of Eaton Vance Structured Emerging Markets Fund (the “Fund”) with Eaton Vance Management (the “Adviser”), and the sub-advisory agreement with Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (the “Sub-adviser”), including their fee structures, are in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreements. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s and Sub-adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. The Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as special considerations relevant to investing in emerging markets. The Board noted the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities. With respect to the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities supervising the Sub-adviser. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund by senior management. With respect to the Sub-adviser, the Board noted the Sub-adviser’s experience in deploying quantitative-based investment strategies.
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including the Sub-adviser. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by the Adviser and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one- and three-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s expense ratio for the one-year ended September 30, 2009 as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. The Board considered the fact that the Adviser had waived fees and/or paid expenses for the Fund.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including the Sub-adviser, in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with its relationship with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser or Sub-adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Sub-adviser, are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Portfolios and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. The Board noted the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates, and the Fund.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant (the “Pre-Approval Policies”). The Pre-Approval Policies establish a framework intended to assist the audit committee in the proper discharge of its pre-approval responsibilities. As a general matter, the Pre-Approval Policies (i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services determined to be pre-approved by the audit committee; and (ii) delineate specific procedures governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process, including the approval and monitoring of audit and non-audit service fees. Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies, it must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee.
The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by the registrant’s audit committee at least annually. The registrant’s audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrant’s principal accountant.
(e)(2) No services described in paragraphs (b)-(d) above were approved by the registrant’s audit committee pursuant to the “de minimis exception” set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
