Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Economic and Market Conditions
International equity markets posted positive returns across most regions during the period from April 1, 2010, to January 31, 2011. Although there were times of market weakness during this 10-month span — notably those brought on by a sovereign debt crisis in Europe, an overheated Chinese economy and geopolitical tensions elsewhere in the world — equity investors seemed to gain confidence that there was light at the end of the tunnel.
Developed-market economies outside the U.S. registered healthy gains during the 10 months, with the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index1, advancing 9.35%, led mainly by the double-digit gains of some regional Asia-Pacific markets outside of Japan. While many of these markets outperformed those in Europe, the pessimism surrounding European stocks early in the period subsided somewhat, as economic growth resumed and sovereign debt fears began to fade. Meanwhile, the emerging-market economies continued to show strength.
Within the MSCI EAFE Index during this 10-month period, the top-performing countries were Sweden, Singapore and Hong Kong, and the worst performers were Greece and Ireland, both of which posted negative returns. On a sector basis, consumer discretionary, industrials and telecommunication services were the strongest during this period, while health care, utilities and information technology were the weakest.
Management Discussion
Eaton Vance Structured International Equity Fund (the Fund) was renamed as of 11/1/10 and now includes the name “Parametric” in reference to its investment sub-adviser, Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC. The Fund’s objective remains to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks its objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of companies domiciled in developed markets outside the United States. The Fund may also invest in equity securities of companies domiciled in emerging-market countries.
For the period from its inception on April 1, 2010, to January 31, 2011, the Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (the Index) but fell short of the average return of funds in its Lipper peer group.1 The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Index can be attributed in part to its security allocation, which seeks to reduce market concentrations; in particular, the Fund was helped by its underweight to the mega-cap tier of stocks that constituted the majority of the Index’s holdings. Individual security selection in countries based on volatility estimations also contributed to the Fund’s excess performance versus the Index, especially during the first half of the period when high-volatility stocks underperformed.
Security selection and a sizable underweighting in the volatile financials sector helped buoy the Fund’s relative performance, as did the performance of some of the Fund’s individual holdings in the consumer discretionary, energy, consumer staples and materials sectors.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance — continued
Conversely, a slight underweight in industrials, coupled with some inopportune security selection in that sector, detracted from the Fund’s performance versus the Index.
On a country basis, the Fund’s structural underweighting to Japan, the largest country weighting in the Index, was beneficial to the Fund’s relative performance, as the Japanese economy continued to underperform most others in the Asia-Pacific region. Similarly, structural overweights to Singapore and Hong Kong, two of the region’s stronger economies, also boosted the Fund’s relative results, as did its overweighted exposure to Denmark, one of Europe’s best-performing economies during the period. On the downside, a slight underweighting and the performance of some of the Fund’s holdings in Germany detracted from relative results. Small overweighted allocations to Israel, Greece and Finland also dampened the Fund’s performance versus the Index.
The Fund seeks to employ a top-down, disciplined and structured investment process that emphasizes broad exposure and diversification† among developed markets outside the U.S., economic sectors and individual issuers. This strategy utilizes targeted allocations and periodic rebalancing to take advantage of certain quantitative and behavioral characteristics of the developed markets as identified by the portfolio managers.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures
1. | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. Total returns shown for an Index do not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in an Index. MSCI Index returns reflect dividends net of any applicable foreign withholding taxes. Index performance is available as of month end only. The MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index is an unmanaged index of equities in the developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is an unmanaged index of emerging markets common stocks. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at NAV, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. (Index 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.) |
|
2. | Returns are cumulative since inception. Cumulative Total Returns are shown at NAV and do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. SEC Cumulative Total Returns for Class A reflect the maximum 5.75% sales charge. SEC Cumulative Total Returns for Class C reflect a 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the first year. Class I shares are offered at NAV. Prior to January 1, 2011, 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 were no longer subject to a redemption fee. Absent an allocation of certain expenses to the investment adviser, sub-adviser and administrator, the returns would be lower. |
|
3. | Source: Prospectus dated 3/31/10, as revised or supplemented. Net Expense Ratio reflects a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 5/31/11. Thereafter, the expense reimbursement may be changed or terminated at any time. Without this expense limitation performance would have been lower. |
|
4. | The hypothetical performance in the line graph and the total returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. (Index 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.) |
|
5. | Geographic Allocation is shown as a percentage of the Fund’s total common stocks as of 1/31/11. |
|
6. | Sector Weightings and Top 10 Holdings are shown as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets as of 1/31/11 and exclude cash equivalents. |
The views expressed throughout this report are those of portfolio management 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.

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 (August 1, 2010 – January 31, 2011).
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.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.50% for Class A shares, 2.25% for Class C shares and 1.25% for Class I shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on July 31, 2010. |
|
** | Absent an allocation of certain expenses to affiliates, the expenses would be higher. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Parametric Structured International Equity Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Structured 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 commenced operations on April 1, 2010. 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. 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, 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. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are 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 January 31, 2011, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $94,897 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 January 31, 2019. In addition, such capital loss carryforward cannot be utilized prior to the utilization of new capital loss carryforwards, if any, created after January 31, 2011.
As of January 31, 2011, 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 April 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011 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.
21

Parametric Structured International Equity Fund
January 31, 2011
Notes to Financial Statements — continued
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 Trust shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Trust 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.
J 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 was assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee was accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Effective January 1, 2011, Class A and Class I shares are no longer subject to a redemption fee.
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 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
22

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 period ended January 31, 2011 was as follows:
| | | | | | |
|
|
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 332,386 | | | |
| | | | | | |
|
|
During the period ended January 31, 2011, accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $9,280, accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income was decreased by $1,530 and paid-in capital was decreased by $10,810 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for foreign currency gain (loss) and non-deductible expenses. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of January 31, 2011, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
|
|
Capital loss carryforward | | $ | (94,897 | ) | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 3,239,360 | | | |
| | | | | | |
|
|
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 passive foreign investment companies.
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 administration services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.95% of the Fund’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. For the period ended January 31, 2011, the investment adviser and administration fee amounted to $239,020 or 0.95% (annualized) 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 and administration fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
EVM and Parametric have agreed to waive their fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses exceed 1.50%, 2.25% and 1.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively, through May 31, 2011. Thereafter, the waiver and reimbursement may be changed or terminated at any time. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and Parametric waived fees and reimbursed expenses in total of $181,957 for the period ended January 31, 2011.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
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 January 31, 2011, EVM earned $41 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 $200 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the period ended January 31, 2011. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4).
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 and administration 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 period ended January 31, 2011, 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 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 January 31, 2011 amounted to $1,877 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 ended January 31, 2011, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $295 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 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 ended January 31, 2011 amounted to $98 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 ended January 31, 2011, the Fund was informed that EVD received no CDSCs paid by Class A and Class C shareholders.

8 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at January 31, 2011, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 42,190,516 | | | |
| | | | | | |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 3,877,453 | | | |

| | | | | | |
|
|
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 period ended January 31, 2011.
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.) |
|
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At January 31, 2011, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Asset Description | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | | |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Parametric Structured International Equity Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Parametric Structured International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from the start of business, April 1, 2010, to January 31, 2011. 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 Parametric Structured International Equity Fund as of January 31, 2011, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from the start of business, April 1, 2010, to January 31, 2011, 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 in order 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 March 15, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the investment advisory and administrative agreement of Eaton Vance Parametric Structured International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) a series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust, with Eaton Vance Management (the “Adviser”) and the sub-advisory agreement with Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Board reviewed information furnished with respect to the Fund at its March 15, 2010 meeting 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:

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 Fund’s investment advisory and administrative agreement and sub-advisory agreement with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, 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 investment advisory and administrative agreement and the sub-advisory agreement for the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory and administrative agreement and the sub-advisory agreement of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund 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 to be held by the Fund. The Board considered the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who will provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund, and whose responsibilities may include supervising the Sub-Adviser and coordinating activities in implementing the Fund’s investment strategy. The Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors relevant to investing in global markets, including the Adviser’s in-house equity research capabilities. The Board also
31

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval — continued
took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention expected to be devoted to Fund matters by senior management. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board noted the Sub-Adviser’s experience in deploying quantitive-based investment strategies. 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 reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser, the Sub-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 considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by the Adviser and its affiliates, including 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 and the Sub-Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory and administrative agreement and the sub-advisory agreement.
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, including any administrative fee rates, to be payable by the Fund (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.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded with respect to the Fund that the management fees proposed to be charged to the Fund for advisory and related services and the estimated expense ratio of the Fund are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits projected to be realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including the Sub-Adviser in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund. The Board considered the level of profits expected to be realized 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, 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 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, 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 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, including the Sub-Adviser, and the Fund 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.
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.

(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.
(f) Not applicable.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
