Semiannual Report
June 30, 2019
Important Note. Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund’s website (eatonvance.com/funddocuments), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website address to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. If you are a direct investor, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by signing up fore-Delivery at eatonvance.com/edelivery. If you own your shares through a financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank), you must contact your financial intermediary to sign up.
You may elect to receive all future Fund shareholder reports in paper free of charge. If you are a direct investor, you can inform the Fund that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by calling1-800-262-1122. If you own these shares through a financial intermediary, you must contact your financial intermediary or follow instructions included with this disclosure, if applicable, to elect to continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Eaton Vance funds held directly or to all funds held through your financial intermediary, as applicable.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Fund is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, the Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call1-800-262-1122.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to eatonvance.com.

Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
2 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class C is linked to Class A. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. |
3 | Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/20. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2019 – June 30, 2019).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect theone-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on December 31, 2018. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio. |
** | Absent an allocation of certain expenses to an affiliate, expenses would be higher. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Stock 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 anopen-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). Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents apro-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 Stock 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 (15.0% at June 30, 2019). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
A Investment Valuation — Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
B Income — The Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’spro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio, less all actual and accrued expenses of the Fund.
C Federal Taxes — The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscalyear-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and theBy-laws provide that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, theBy-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
G Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
H Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2019 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued
same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of theex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified topaid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
At December 31, 2018, the Fund had a net capital loss of $210,052 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2018 that it has elected to defer. This net capital loss is treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s taxable year ending December 31, 2019.
3 Transactions with Affiliates
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only) exceed 0.98%, 1.73% and 0.73% 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 April 30, 2020. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM was allocated $81,181 of the Fund’s operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
EVM providessub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to aSub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, EVM earned $5,102 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $3,110 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the six months ended June 30, 2019. 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).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to $58,818 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays 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 six months ended June 30, 2019, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $40,884 for Class C shares.
Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to $13,628 for Class C shares.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).
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. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Fund was informed that EVD received less than $100 of CDSCs paid by Class C shareholders and no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.
6 Investment Transactions
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $2,080,300 and $9,363,195, respectively. In addition, a Portfolio transaction fee is imposed by the Portfolio on the combined daily inflows or outflows of the Fund and the Portfolio’s other investors as more fully described at Note 1H of the Portfolio’s financial statements included herein. Such fee is allocated to the Fund based on itspro-rata interest in the Portfolio. The amount of the Portfolio transaction fee imposed on the Fund, if any, and the allocation of such fee are presented as Other capital on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Stock 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 capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At June 30, 2019, Eaton Vance Stock Fund, Eaton Vance Stock NextShares and Eaton Vance Balanced Fund held an interest of 15.0%, 1.0% and 83.9%, 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 (U.S. GAAP). The Portfolio is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Equity Securities.Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices.
Foreign Securities and Currencies.Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Portfolio’s Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities.
Affiliated Fund.The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Fair Valuation.Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Portfolio in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B Investment Transactions — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C Income — Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if theex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of theex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
D Federal Taxes — The Portfolio has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of taxable income. Since at least one of the Portfolio’s investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least annually among its investors, each investor’s distributive share of the Portfolio’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and losses and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscalyear-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
E Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized

gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G Indemnifications — Under the Portfolio’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, interestholders in the Portfolio could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Portfolio. However, the Portfolio’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Portfolio interestholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
H Capital Transactions — To seek to protect the Portfolio (and, indirectly, other investors in the Portfolio) against the costs of accommodating investor inflows and outflows, the Portfolio imposes a fee (“Portfolio transaction fee”) on inflows and outflows by Portfolio investors. The Portfolio transaction fee is sized to cover the estimated cost to the Portfolio of, in connection with issuing interests, converting the cash and/or other instruments it receives to the desired composition and, in connection with redeeming its interests, converting Portfolio holdings to cash and/or other instruments to be distributed. Such fee, which may vary over time, is limited to amounts that have been authorized by the Board of Trustees and determined by EVM to be appropriate. The maximum Portfolio transaction fee is 2% of the amount of net contributions or withdrawals. The Portfolio transaction fee is recorded as a component of capital transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
I Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2019 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Portfolio’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a 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 0.60% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million and 0.575% from $500 million but less than $1 billion, and is payable monthly. On net assets of $1 billion or over, the annual fee is reduced. The fee reduction cannot be terminated or reduced without the approval of a majority vote of the Trustees of the Portfolio who are not interested persons of BMR or the Portfolio and by the vote of a majority of the holders of interest in the Portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee amounted to $1,745,919 or 0.59% (annualized) of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The Portfolio invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
Trustees and officers of the Portfolio who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
3 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $205,295,565 and $208,112,059, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at June 30, 2019, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost | $ | 496,952,141 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 136,735,046 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation | (2,169,484 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation | $ | 134,565,562 |

5 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $625 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 29, 2019. Borrowings are made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Portfolio based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Portfolio, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
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) |
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 June 30, 2019, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Common Stocks | $ | 625,988,074 | * | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 625,988,074 | |||||||
Short-Term Investments | — | 5,529,629 | — | 5,529,629 | ||||||||||||
Total Investments | $ | 625,988,074 | $ | 5,529,629 | $ | — | $ | 631,517,703 |
* | The level classification by major category of investments is the same as the category presentation in the Portfolio of Investments. |

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 the investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect fromyear-to-year only if its continuation is approved on an annual basis by a vote of the fund’s board of trustees, including 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 held on April 24, 2019, the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (the “Eaton Vance Funds”), including a majority of the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voted to approve the continuation of existing investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements for each of the Eaton Vance Funds for an additionalone-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of its Contract Review Committee, which is a committee exclusively comprised of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of meetings held between February and April 2019. Members of the Contract Review Committee also considered information received at prior meetings of the Board and its committees, to the extent such information was relevant to the Contract Review Committee’s annual evaluation of the investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements.
Among other things, the information the Board considered included the following (for funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the portfolio-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
• | A report from an independent data provider comparing advisory and related fees paid by each fund to such fees paid by comparable funds, as identified by the independent data provider (“comparable funds”); |
• | A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio (and its components) to those of comparable funds; |
• | A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund (including, where relevant, yield data, Sharpe ratios and information ratios) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |

• | Comparative information concerning the fees charged and services provided by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each fund in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund(s), if any; |
• | Profitability analyses with respect to the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the funds; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
• | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, as well as each of the funds’ investment strategies and policies; |
• | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets, when necessary, and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
• | Information about the policies and practices of each fund’s adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable and in the context of asub-adviser with trading responsibilities) with respect to trading, including their processes for seeking best execution of portfolio transactions; |
• | Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits, if any, received by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable and in the context of asub-adviser with trading responsibilities) to each fund as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”; |
• | Data relating to the portfolio turnover rate of each fund; |
Information about each Adviser andSub-adviser

• | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s and Boston Management and Research’s oversight ofsub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |
Other Relevant Information
• | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and othernon-investment advisory services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates; |
• | Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by the adviser or administrator to each of the funds; and |
• | The terms of each investment advisory agreement. |
During the various meetings of the Board and its committees throughout the twelve months ended April 2019, the Trustees received information from portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the advisers andsub-advisers (where applicable) of the funds regarding investment and performance matters, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing the funds’ investment objectives. The Trustees also received information regarding risk management techniques employed in connection with the management of the funds. The Board and its Committees evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management, Boston Management and Research and fundsub-advisers (as applicable), with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Trustees held regular teleconferences to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements.
The Contract Review Committee was advised throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee, with the advice of such counsel, exercised their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each investment advisory andsub-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 investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement. In evaluating each investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement, including the fee structures and other terms contained in such agreements, the members of the Contract Review Committee were also informed by multiple years of analysis and discussion with the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the Eaton Vance Funds.
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 continuation of the investment advisory agreement between Stock Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance Stock Fund (the “Fund”) invests, and Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. Based on the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee, 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 for 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 processes in light of the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted that the Adviser has devoted extensive resources toin-house equity research and also draws upon independent research available from third-party sources. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of the Adviser and other factors, including the reputation and resources of the Adviser to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the time and attention devoted to the Eaton Vance Funds, including the Portfolio, by senior management, as well as the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of the Portfolio, including the provision of administrative services. The Board also considered the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Portfolio.
The Board considered the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also considered 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 fund complex offering

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 that of comparable funds and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board’s review included comparative performance data with respect to the Fund for theone-, three-, five- andten-year periods ended September 30, 2018. In this regard, the Board noted that the performance of the Fund was lower than the median performance of the Fund’s peer group for the three-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark index for the three-year period. On the basis of the foregoing, the performance of the Fund over other periods, 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 considered contractual fee rates payable by the Portfolio and by the Fund for advisory and administrative services (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund’s management fees and total expense ratio for theone-year period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to those of comparable funds, before and after giving effect to any undertaking to waive fees or reimburse expenses. The Board also received and considered information about the services offered and the fee rates charged by the Adviser to other types of accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are substantially similar to and/or managed in a similar investment style as the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the differences in the nature and scope of services the Adviser provides to the Fund as compared to other types of accounts and the material differences in compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks to the Adviser as between the Fund and other types of accounts. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on the Fund’s total expense ratio relative to comparable funds.
After considering 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 advisoryand related services are reasonable.
Profitability and“Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board considered 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 marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services.
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 deemed not to be excessive.
The Board also considered direct or indirectfall-out benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their respective relationships 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.
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 economies of scale, if any, 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 Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale, if any, when they are realized by the Adviser. The Board also concluded that the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow the Fund and the Portfolio to continue to benefit from any economies of scale in the future.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures
1 | Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return is designed to provide diversified commodity exposure, with weightings based on each underlying commodity’s liquidity and economic significance. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
2 | Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) with all distributions reinvested. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Investor Class is linked to Institutional Class. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. |
3 | Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 4/30/20. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report. |
4 | Commodity Exposure reflects the Fund’s net exposure to commodities through its investment incommodity-linked derivative instruments. |
5 | Other Net Assets represents other assets less liabilities and includes any investment type that represents less than 1% of net assets. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2019 – June 30, 2019).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect theone-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on December 31, 2018. |
** | Absent an allocation of certain expenses to affiliates, expenses would be higher. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Parametric Commodity Strategy 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 anopen-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund offers Investor Class and Institutional Class shares, which are offered at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents apro-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 seeks to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in PSC Commodity Subsidiary, Ltd. (the Subsidiary), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands with the same objective and investment policies and restrictions as the Fund. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The net assets of the Subsidiary at June 30, 2019 were $59,506,529 or 18.8% of the Fund’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 Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Debt Obligations.Debt obligations are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security.Short-term debt obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Derivatives. Financial and commodities futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Affiliated Fund.The Fund may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Fair Valuation.Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is 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 relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B Investment Transactions — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C Income — 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.
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 Fund is treated as a U.S. shareholder of the Subsidiary. As a result, the Fund is required to include in gross income for U.S. federal 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 Fund.

Commodity Strategy Fund
June 30, 2019
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,de-recognition, or disclosure. The Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscalyear-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
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 Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated 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 theBy-laws provide that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, theBy-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H Financial and Commodities Futures Contracts — Upon entering into a financial or commodities futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically, typically each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, commodity or currency, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial or commodities futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial or commodities 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 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements — The interim consolidated financial statements relating to June 30, 2019 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-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 theex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified topaid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
At December 31, 2018, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $74,263 which would reduce its taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at December 31, 2018, $40,481 are short-term and $33,782 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund, including open derivative contracts and the Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary, at June 30, 2019, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost | $ | 383,496,367 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 406,018 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation | (65,763,351 | ) | ||
Net unrealized depreciation | $ | (65,357,333 | ) |

3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser and administration fee is earned by EVM as compensation for investment advisory and administrative services rendered to the Fund and the Subsidiary. Pursuant to the investment advisory and administrative agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreement between the Trust and EVM and the investment advisory agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreement between the Subsidiary and EVM, the Fund and Subsidiary pay EVM an aggregate fee at an annual rate of 0.55% of the Fund’s consolidated average daily net assets up to $1 billion and at reduced rates on consolidated net assets of $1 billion and over, and is payable monthly. The fee reductions cannot be terminated or reduced without the approval of a majority vote of the Trustees of the Fund who are not interested persons of EVM or the Fund and by the vote of a majority of shareholders. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the investment adviser and administration fee amounted to $857,549 or 0.55% (annualized) of the Fund’s consolidated average daily net assets. Pursuant to asub-advisory agreement, EVM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), a majority-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. EVM pays Parametric a portion of its investment adviser and administration fee forsub-advisory services provided to the Fund. EVM and Parametric have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s expenses, including expenses of the Subsidiary, to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only) exceed 0.90% and 0.65% of the Fund’s consolidated average daily net assets of Investor Class and Institutional Class, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated at any time after April 30, 2020. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and Parametric were allocated $127,803 in total of the Fund’s operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
EVM providessub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to aSub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, EVM earned $1,449 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received distribution and service fees from Investor Class (see Note 4).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s organization 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 six months ended June 30, 2019, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plan
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Investor Class shares (Investor Class Plan) pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Investor Class Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Investor Class 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to $25,315 for Investor Class shares.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).

7 Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments withoff-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include 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 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. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at June 30, 2019 is included in the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments. At June 30, 2019, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund is subject to commodity risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Commodity risk is the risk that the value of a commodity or commodity index will fluctuate based on increases or decreases in the commodities market and factors specific to a particular industry or commodity. The Fund invests primarily in commodities-linked derivative investments, including commodity futures contracts that provide exposure to the investment returns of the commodities markets, without investing directly in physical commodities.
The fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is commodity risk at June 30, 2019 was as follows:
Fair Value | ||||||||
Derivative | Asset Derivative | Liability Derivative | ||||||
Futures contracts | $ | 19,814,391 | (1) | $ | (14,591,335 | )(1) | ||
Total derivatives not subject to master netting or similar agreements | $ | 19,814,391 | $ | (14,591,335 | ) |
(1) | Amount represents cumulative unrealized appreciation or (depreciation) on futures contracts. Only the current day’s variation margin on open futures contracts is reported within the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin on open futures contracts, as applicable. |
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is commodity risk for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was as follows:
Derivative | Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | ||||||
Futures contracts | $ | (9,337,569 | )(1) | $ | 19,452,734 | (2) |
(1) | Consolidated Statement of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) – Futures contracts. |
(2) | Consolidated Statement of Operations location: Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – Futures contracts. |
The average notional cost of futures contracts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2019, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately as follows:
Futures Contracts — Long | Futures Contracts — Short | |||||
$451,853,000 | $ | 136,103,000 |

8 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $625 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 29, 2019. 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 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the 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 six months ended June 30, 2019.
9 Risks Associated with Commodities
The commodities which underlie commodity-linked derivatives in which the Fund invests may be subject to additional economic andnon-economic variables, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international economic, political and regulatory developments. These factors may have a larger impact on commodity prices and commodity-linked instruments than on traditional securities. Certain commodities are also subject to limited pricing flexibility because of supply and demand factors. Others are subject to broad price fluctuations as a result of the volatility of the prices for certain raw materials and the instability of supplies of other materials. These additional variables may create additional investment risks which subject the Fund’s investments to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.
10 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At June 30, 2019, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Short-Term Investments — | ||||||||||||||||
U.S. Treasury Obligations | $ | — | $ | 295,746,009 | $ | — | $ | 295,746,009 | ||||||||

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 the investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect fromyear-to-year only if its continuation is approved on an annual basis by a vote of the fund’s board of trustees, including 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 held on April 24, 2019, the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (the “Eaton Vance Funds”), including a majority of the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voted to approve the continuation of existing investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements for each of the Eaton Vance Funds for an additionalone-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of its Contract Review Committee, which is a committee exclusively comprised of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of meetings held between February and April 2019. Members of the Contract Review Committee also considered information received at prior meetings of the Board and its committees, to the extent such information was relevant to the Contract Review Committee’s annual evaluation of the investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements.
Among other things, the information the Board considered included the following (for funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the portfolio-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
• | A report from an independent data provider comparing advisory and related fees paid by each fund to such fees paid by comparable funds, as identified by the independent data provider (“comparable funds”); |
• | A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio (and its components) to those of comparable funds; |
• | A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund (including, where relevant, yield data, Sharpe ratios and information ratios) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
• | Data regarding investment performance relative to benchmark indices and, in certain instances, to customized groups of peer funds and blended indices identified by the adviser in consultation with the Portfolio Management Committee of the Board; |
• | Comparative information concerning the fees charged and services provided by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each fund in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund(s), if any; |
• | Profitability analyses with respect to the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the funds; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
• | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, as well as each of the funds’ investment strategies and policies; |
• | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets, when necessary, and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
• | Information about the policies and practices of each fund’s adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable and in the context of asub-adviser with trading responsibilities) with respect to trading, including their processes for seeking best execution of portfolio transactions; |
• | Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits, if any, received by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable and in the context of asub-adviser with trading responsibilities) to each fund as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”; |
• | Data relating to the portfolio turnover rate of each fund; |
Information about each Adviser andSub-adviser
• | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each fund; |

• | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s and Boston Management and Research’s oversight ofsub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |
Other Relevant Information
• | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and othernon-investment advisory services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates; |
• | Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by the adviser or administrator to each of the funds; and |
• | The terms of each investment advisory agreement. |
During the various meetings of the Board and its committees throughout the twelve months ended April 2019, the Trustees received information from portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the advisers andsub-advisers (where applicable) of the funds regarding investment and performance matters, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing the funds’ investment objectives. The Trustees also received information regarding risk management techniques employed in connection with the management of the funds. The Board and its Committees evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management, Boston Management and Research and fundsub-advisers (as applicable), with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Trustees held regular teleconferences to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements.
The Contract Review Committee was advised throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee, with the advice of such counsel, exercised their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each investment advisory andsub-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 investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement. In evaluating each investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement, including the fee structures and other terms contained in such agreements, the members of the Contract Review Committee were also informed by multiple years of analysis and discussion with the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the Eaton Vance Funds.
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 continuation of the investment advisory and administrative agreement between Parametric Commodity Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) and Eaton Vance Management (the “Adviser”) and thesub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (the“Sub-adviser”), an affiliate of the Adviser, with respect to the Fund, including their respective fee structures, are in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. Based on the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory and administrative agreement and thesub-advisory agreement for the Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory and administrative agreement and thesub-advisory agreement for the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and theSub-adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s and theSub-adviser’s management capabilities and investment processes in light of the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund, including recent changes to such personnel. Regarding the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s responsibilities with respect to oversight of theSub-adviser. The Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of theSub-adviser’s investment professionals in investing in commodity-linked derivative securities. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of the Adviser and other factors, including the reputation and resources of the Adviser to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the time and attention devoted to the Eaton Vance Funds, including the Fund, by senior management, as well as the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of the Fund, including the provision of administrative services. The Board also considered the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund.
The Board considered the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including theSub-adviser. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also considered 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.

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval — continued
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 fund complex offering exposure to a variety of asset classes and investment disciplines, as well as 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 theSub-adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory and administrative agreement and thesub-advisory agreement.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of comparable funds and appropriate benchmark indices, as well as a customized peer group of similarly managed funds. The Board’s review included comparative performance data with respect to the Fund for theone-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2018. In this regard, the Board noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than the median performance of the Fund’s peer group and custom peer group for the three-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark index for the three-year period. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board considered contractual fee rates payable by the Fund for advisory and administrative services (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund’s management fees and total expense ratio for theone-year period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to those of comparable funds, before and after giving effect to any undertaking to waive fees or reimburse expenses. The Board noted that the Fund has established a wholly-owned subsidiary to accommodate the Fund’s commodity-related investments. The subsidiary is managed by the Adviser and theSub-adviser pursuant to separate investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements, respectively, that are subject to annual approval by the Board. The subsidiary’s fee rates are the same as those charged to the Fund, and the Fund will not pay any additional management fees with respect to its assets invested in the subsidiary. The Board also received and considered information about the services offered and the fee rates charged by the Adviser and/orSub-adviser to other types of accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are substantially similar to and/or managed in a similar investment style as the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the differences in the nature and scope of services the Adviser and/orSub-adviser provide to the Fund as compared to other types of accounts and the material differences in compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks to the Adviser and/orSub-adviser as between the Fund and other types of accounts. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on the Fund’s total expense ratio relative to comparable funds.
After considering the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and theSub-adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability and“Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board considered the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including theSub-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 marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services.
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 theSub-adviser, are deemed not to be excessive.
The Board also considered direct or indirectfall-out benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates, including theSub-adviser, in connection with their respective relationships with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser or theSub-adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.
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 economies of scale, if any, 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 Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale, if any, when they are realized by the Adviser. The Board also concluded that the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow the Fund to continue to benefit from any economies of scale in the future.

Semiannual Report
June 30, 2019
Important Note. Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund’s website (eatonvance.com/funddocuments), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website address to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. If you are a direct investor, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by signing up for e-Delivery at eatonvance.com/edelivery. If you own your shares through a financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank), you must contact your financial intermediary to sign up.
You may elect to receive all future Fund shareholder reports in paper free of charge. If you are a direct investor, you can inform the Fund that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by calling 1-800-262-1122. If you own these shares through a financial intermediary, you must contact your financial intermediary or follow instructions included with this disclosure, if applicable, to elect to continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Eaton Vance funds held directly or to all funds held through your financial intermediary, as applicable.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. Each Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Funds is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, each Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call1-800-262-1122.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

1 | S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index oflarge-cap stocks commonly used as a measure of U.S. stock market performance. S&P Dow Jones Indices are a product of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P DJI”) and have been licensed for use. S&P®and S&P 500® are registered trademarks of S&P DJI; Dow Jones® is a registered trademark of Dow Jones Trademark Holdings LLC (“Dow Jones”); S&P DJI, Dow Jones and their respective affiliates do not sponsor, endorse, sell or promote the Fund, will not have any liability with respect thereto and do not have any liability for any errors, omissions, or interruptions of the S&P Dow Jones Indices. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
2 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable.After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions, including using the highest historical individual federal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state/local taxes. Actualafter-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 intax-deferred accounts or shares held by nontaxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares 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’safter-tax returns also may reflect foreign tax credits passed by the Fund to its shareholders. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2019 – June 30, 2019).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Tax-Managed Growth Funds 1.1 and 1.2
June 30, 2019
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1(Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1) and Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2(Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2) (each a Fund, and collectively the Funds) are diversified series of the 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 anopen-end management investment company. Each Fund currently offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I 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). Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. 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 Funds’ prospectus. Currently, Class B shares are only available for purchase upon exchange from another Eaton Vance fund or through reinvestment of distributions.Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 is closed to new investors. Each class represents apro-rata interest in each 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. Each Fund typically invests all of its investable assets in interests inTax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio), a Massachusetts business trust, having the same investment objective and policies as the Funds. The value of each Fund’s investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (8.6% and 4.4% forTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 andTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2, respectively, at June 30, 2019). The performance of each 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 Funds’ financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies.”
A Investment Valuation — Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
B Income — Each Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’spro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio, less all actual and accrued expenses of the Fund.
C Federal Taxes — Each 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 June 30, 2019, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,de-recognition, or disclosure. Each Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscalyear-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to each Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and theBy-laws provide that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, theBy-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
G Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
H Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2019 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Funds’ management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
It is the present policy of each 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). Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-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 a Fund at the net asset value as of theex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified topaid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
At December 31, 2018, the Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses which would reduce the respective Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the respective Fund’s next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. The amounts of the deferred capital losses are as follows:
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 | Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 | |||||||
Deferred capital losses | ||||||||
Short-term | $ | 4,580,647 | $ | 1,002,414 | ||||
Long-term | 1,390,272 | 475,110 |
3 Transactions with Affiliates
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator to the Funds. EVM receives no compensation fromTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 for such services and a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets fromTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 for such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the administration fee forTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 amounted to $599,732. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
EVM providessub-transfer agency and related services to the Funds pursuant to aSub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. 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).Sub-transfer agent fees earned by EVM, which are included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statements of Operations, and Class A sales charges that the Funds were informed were received by EVD for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 | Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 | |||||||
EVM’sSub-Transfer Agent Fees | $ | 115,615 | $ | 41,240 | ||||
EVD’s Class A Sales Charges | $ | 11,239 | $ | 20,030 |
Trustees and officers of the Funds who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds and the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.

4 Distribution Plans
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, each Fund pays 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 each 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 for Class A shares amounted to the following:
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 | Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 | |||||||
Class A Distribution and Service Fees | $ | 1,746,481 | $ | 689,338 |
Each Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, each Fund pays 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 respective Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees:
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 | Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 | |||||||
Class B Distribution Fees | $ | 2,449 | $ | 2,259 | ||||
Class C Distribution Fees | $ | 157,341 | $ | 269,939 |
Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, each Fund also makes 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to the following:
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 | Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 | |||||||
Class B Service Fees | $ | 816 | $ | 753 | ||||
Class C Service Fees | $ | 52,447 | $ | 89,980 |
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d), and Class B shares ofTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 are further limited to a 5% maximum sales charge as determined in accordance with such rule.
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. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Funds were informed that EVD received approximately the following amounts of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B, and Class C shareholders:
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 | Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 | |||||||
Class A | $ | — | $ | 5,000 | ||||

Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Portfolio’s investment objective is to achieve long-term, after-tax returns for interestholders through investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At June 30, 2019, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 and Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset Allocation Fund held an interest of 5.0%, 8.6%, 4.4%, and 0.9% respectively, in the Portfolio. In addition, an unregistered fund managed by the adviser to the Portfolio held an aggregate interest of 81.1% in the Portfolio.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Portfolio is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies.”
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Equity Securities. Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices.
Foreign Securities and Currencies. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Portfolio’s Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities.
Affiliated Fund. The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Fair Valuation. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Portfolio in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B Investment Transactions — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C Income — Dividend income is recorded on 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. In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, the Portfolio has filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries. Due to the uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements for such reclaims. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
D Federal Taxes — The Portfolio has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of taxable income. Since at least one of the Portfolio’s investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least annually among its investors, each investor’s distributive share of the Portfolio’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and losses and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.

Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio
June 30, 2019
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued
As of June 30, 2019, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
E Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
F Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G Indemnifications — Under the Portfolio’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, interestholders in the Portfolio could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Portfolio. However, the Portfolio’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Portfolio interestholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
H Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2019 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Portfolio’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. Under the investment advisory agreement, BMR receives a monthly advisory fee at a rate of 0.625% annually of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million. The advisory fee on net assets of $500 million or more is reduced as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rate (for each level) | |||
$500 million but less than $1 billion | 0.5625 | % | ||
$1 billion but less than $1.5 billion | 0.5000 | % | ||
$1.5 billion but less than $7 billion | 0.4375 | % | ||
$7 billion but less than $10 billion | 0.4250 | % | ||
$10 billion but less than $15 billion | 0.4125 | % | ||
$15 billion but less than $20 billion | 0.4000 | % | ||
$20 billion but less than $25 billion | 0.3900 | % | ||
$25 billion and over | 0.3800 | % |
The Portfolio invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee amounted to $38,785,198 or 0.44% (annualized) of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Officers and Trustees of the Portfolio who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.
3 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $84,289,776 and $24,504,689, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. In addition, investors contributed securities with an aggregate market value of $906,349,771 and investments having an aggregate market value of $484,884,006 were distributed in payment for capital withdrawals during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

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 $625 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 29, 2019. Borrowings are made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Portfolio based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Portfolio, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
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) |
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.

8 Legal Proceedings
In November 2010, the Portfolio was named as defendant and a putative member of the proposed defendant class of shareholders in the case entitled Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (UCC) of the Tribune Company v. FitzSimons, et al. as a result of its ownership of shares in the Tribune Company (Tribune) in 2007 when Tribune effected a leveraged buyout transaction (LBO) and was converted to a privately held company. The UCC, which has been replaced by a Litigation Trustee pursuant to Tribune’s plan of reorganization, seeks to recover payments of the proceeds of the LBO. In June 2011, a group of Tribune creditors filed multiple actions against former Tribune shareholders involving state law constructive fraudulent conveyance claims arising out of the LBO (the “SLFC actions”). The Portfolio has been named as a defendant in one of the SLFC actions filed in United States District Court — District of Massachusetts by Deutsche Bank Trust Co. Americas seeking to recover the proceeds received in connection with the LBO from former shareholders. The FitzSimons action and the SLFC actions are now part of a multi-district litigation proceeding in the Southern District of New York. The value of the proceeds received by the Portfolio is approximately $48,237,000 (equal to 0.3% of net assets at June 30, 2019).
The Portfolio cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings or the effect, if any, on the Portfolio’s net asset value. The attorneys’ fees and costs related to these actions are expensed by the Portfolio as incurred.

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 the investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect fromyear-to-year only if its continuation is approved on an annual basis by a vote of the fund’s board of trustees, including 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 held on April 24, 2019, the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (the “Eaton Vance Funds”), including a majority of the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voted to approve the continuation of existing investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements for each of the Eaton Vance Funds for an additionalone-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of its Contract Review Committee, which is a committee exclusively comprised of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of meetings held between February and April 2019. Members of the Contract Review Committee also considered information received at prior meetings of the Board and its committees, to the extent such information was relevant to the Contract Review Committee’s annual evaluation of the investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements.
Among other things, the information the Board considered included the following (for funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the portfolio-level):
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
• | A report from an independent data provider comparing advisory and related fees paid by each fund to such fees paid by comparable funds, as identified by the independent data provider (“comparable funds”); |
• | A report from an independent data provider comparing each fund’s total expense ratio (and its components) to those of comparable funds; |
• | A report from an independent data provider comparing the investment performance of each fund (including, where relevant, yield data, Sharpe ratios and information ratios) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
• | Data regarding investment performance relative to benchmark indices and, in certain instances, to customized groups of peer funds and blended indices identified by the adviser in consultation with the Portfolio Management Committee of the Board; |
• | Comparative information concerning the fees charged and services provided by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each fund in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund(s), if any; |
• | Profitability analyses with respect to the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the funds; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
• | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, as well as each of the funds’ investment strategies and policies; |
• | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets, when necessary, and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
• | Information about the policies and practices of each fund’s adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable and in the context of asub-adviser with trading responsibilities) with respect to trading, including their processes for seeking best execution of portfolio transactions; |
• | Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits, if any, received by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable and in the context of asub-adviser with trading responsibilities) to each fund as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”; |
• | Data relating to the portfolio turnover rate of each fund; |
Information about each Adviser andSub-adviser
• | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each fund; |
• | Information regarding the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and, for portfolio managers and certain other investment professionals, information relating to their responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts, if applicable; |

• | Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
• | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by the adviser and its affiliates and thesub-adviser (where applicable) of each fund, if any, including descriptions of their various compliance programs and their record of compliance; |

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval — continued
• | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s and Boston Management and Research’s oversight ofsub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |
Other Relevant Information
• | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and othernon-investment advisory services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates; |
• | Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by the adviser or administrator to each of the funds; and |
• | The terms of each investment advisory agreement. |
During the various meetings of the Board and its committees throughout the twelve months ended April 2019, the Trustees received information from portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the advisers andsub-advisers (where applicable) of the funds regarding investment and performance matters, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing the funds’ investment objectives. The Trustees also received information regarding risk management techniques employed in connection with the management of the funds. The Board and its Committees evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management, Boston Management and Research and fundsub-advisers (as applicable), with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Trustees held regular teleconferences to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements.
The Contract Review Committee was advised throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee, with the advice of such counsel, exercised their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each investment advisory andsub-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 investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement. In evaluating each investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement, including the fee structures and other terms contained in such agreements, the members of the Contract Review Committee were also informed by multiple years of analysis and discussion with the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the Eaton Vance Funds.
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 continuation of the investment advisory agreement betweenTax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 (the “Fund”) invests, and Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. Based on the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee, 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 for 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 processes in light of the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted that the Adviser has devoted extensive resources toin-house equity research and also draws upon independent research available from third-party sources. The Board considered the experience of the Adviser’s investment professionals in managing funds that seek to maximizeafter-tax returns. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of the Adviser and other factors, including the reputation and resources of the Adviser to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the time and attention devoted to the Eaton Vance Funds, including the Portfolio, by senior management, as well as the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of the Portfolio, including the provision of administrative services. The Board also considered the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Portfolio.
The Board considered the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also considered 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.

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval — continued
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 fund complex offering exposure to a variety of asset classes and investment disciplines, as well as 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 that of comparable funds and appropriate benchmark indices, as well as a customized peer group of similarly managed funds. The Board’s review included comparative performance data with respect to the Fund for theone-, three-, five- andten-year periods ended September 30, 2018. In this regard, the Board noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than the median performance of the Fund’s peer group and custom peer group for the three-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark index for the three-year period. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board considered contractual fee rates payable by the Portfolio and by the Fund for advisory and administrative services (referred to collectively as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund’s management fees and total expense ratio for theone-year period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to those of comparable funds, before and after giving effect to any undertaking to waive fees or reimburse expenses. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on the Fund’s total expense ratio relative to comparable funds.
After considering 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 and“Fall-Out” Benefits
The Board considered 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 marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services.
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 deemed not to be excessive.
The Board also considered direct or indirectfall-out benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their respective relationships 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.
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 economies of scale, if any, 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 Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale, if any, when they are realized by the Adviser. The Board also concluded that the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow the Fund and the Portfolio to continue to benefit from any economies of scale in the future.

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 the investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect fromyear-to-year only if its continuation is approved on an annual basis by a vote of the fund’s board of trustees, including 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 held on April 24, 2019, the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of the registered investment companies advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (the “Eaton Vance Funds”), including a majority of the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voted to approve the continuation of existing investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements for each of the Eaton Vance Funds for an additionalone-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of its Contract Review Committee, which is a committee exclusively comprised of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of meetings held between February and April 2019. Members of the Contract Review Committee also considered information received at prior meetings of the Board and its committees, to the extent such information was relevant to the Contract Review Committee’s annual evaluation of the investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements.
Among other things, the information the Board considered included the following (for funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, references to “each fund” in this section may include information that was considered at the portfolio-level):

• | Comparative information concerning the fees charged and services provided by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each fund in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund(s), if any; |
• | Profitability analyses with respect to the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the funds; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
• | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, as well as each of the funds’ investment strategies and policies; |
• | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets, when necessary, and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
• | Information about the policies and practices of each fund’s adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable and in the context of asub-adviser with trading responsibilities) with respect to trading, including their processes for seeking best execution of portfolio transactions; |
• | Information about the allocation of brokerage transactions and the benefits, if any, received by the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable and in the context of asub-adviser with trading responsibilities) to each fund as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and policies with respect to “soft dollars”; |
• | Data relating to the portfolio turnover rate of each fund; |
Information about each Adviser andSub-adviser
• | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each fund; |

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval — continued
• | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s and Boston Management and Research’s oversight ofsub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |
Other Relevant Information
• | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and othernon-investment advisory services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates; |
• | Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by the adviser or administrator to each of the funds; and |
• | The terms of each investment advisory agreement. |
During the various meetings of the Board and its committees throughout the twelve months ended April 2019, the Trustees received information from portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the advisers andsub-advisers (where applicable) of the funds regarding investment and performance matters, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing the funds’ investment objectives. The Trustees also received information regarding risk management techniques employed in connection with the management of the funds. The Board and its Committees evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management, Boston Management and Research and fundsub-advisers (as applicable), with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Trustees held regular teleconferences to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of investment advisory andsub-advisory agreements.
The Contract Review Committee was advised throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee, with the advice of such counsel, exercised their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each investment advisory andsub-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 investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement. In evaluating each investment advisory andsub-advisory agreement, including the fee structures and other terms contained in such agreements, the members of the Contract Review Committee were also informed by multiple years of analysis and discussion with the adviser andsub-adviser (where applicable) to each of the Eaton Vance Funds.
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 continuation of the investment advisory agreement betweenTax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which Eaton VanceTax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 (the “Fund”) invests, and Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. Based on the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee, 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 for 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 processes in light of the types of investments held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted that the Adviser has devoted extensive resources toin-house equity research and also draws upon independent research available from third-party sources. The Board considered the experience of the Adviser’s investment professionals in managing funds that seek to maximizeafter-tax returns. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of the Adviser and other factors, including the reputation and resources of the Adviser to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the time and attention devoted to the Eaton Vance Funds, including the Portfolio, by senior management, as well as the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of the Portfolio, including the provision of administrative services. The Board also considered the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Portfolio.
The Board considered the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also considered 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.
