Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations 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 investment adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund. 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 and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), sub-adviser to the Fund, are registered with the CFTC as commodity pool operators. The adviser and Parametric are also registered as commodity trading advisors.
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 call 1-800-260-0761.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance†
Economic and Market Conditions
Developed equity markets outside the U.S. declined sharply during the first half of the 12-month period ended January 31, 2023, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (the Index). During the second half of the period, international stocks mounted a strong comeback, finishing the period in slightly negative territory. Overall results at the country level were mixed, with 14 of the 21 international markets within the Index recording losses during the period.
Overseas markets impacted by Russia’s war in Ukraine -- as well as markets with high technology exposures -- fared the worst during the period. Conversely, a strong showing from energy stocks benefitted a handful of energy-rich nations. U.S.-based investors faced an added challenge from the U.S. dollar’s relative strength, resulting in losses from foreign currency depreciation during the period.
In Europe, the war in Ukraine weighed strongly on international markets. In particular, Germany and Austria experienced acute losses due to their dependence on Russian energy. High inflation, rising interest rates, and the possibility of a near-term recession across the region also punished stocks. Countries with higher industrial exposure -- specifically Ireland, Finland, and Sweden -- were particularly vulnerable during the period. Additionally, a strong pullback in technology stocks, including key semiconductor manufacturing equipment suppliers, challenged markets in the Netherlands. In contrast, rising energy prices enabled both the U.K. and Portugal to deliver positive returns.
Turning to the Pacific region, stock performance in Japan trailed the broader Index largely due to a fierce decline in the yen versus the U.S. dollar -- a side effect of rising U.S. rates. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan continued its growth-oriented low interest rate policy during the period. Australia and New Zealand experienced the highest Index returns, resulting from double-digit gains from a handful of sectors, including utilities and industrials.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2023, Parametric International Equity Fund (the Fund) returned -5.51% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its benchmark, the Index, which returned -2.83%.
Factors detracting from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index included sector diversification across the U.K., which resulted in an overweight exposure to real estate. Property stocks in the U.K. fell sharply as the Bank of England pursued aggressive interest rate increases to slow the pace of inflation. In Germany, the Fund’s stock selections, which emphasized medium- and small-size companies, also detracted from relative performance versus the Index. This was partially the result of including underperforming small-cap stocks within the utilities and health care sectors. The Fund’s sector allocations in Sweden further detracted from relative returns during the period. This was partially due to an overweight position in communication services, which experienced sharp declines.
The Fund’s emphasis on diversification at the sector level within each country also detracted from relative returns. The Fund’s emphasis on diversification -- via a system of broad security representation with an emphasis on reducing portfolio risk -- further detracted from relative performance during the period.
In contrast, the Fund’s emphasis on diversification -- via a system of targeting country weights and systematically rebalancing them as they change -- contributed to performance relative to the Index during the period. Based on diversification targets, the Fund held underweight exposures to larger countries, and overweight exposures to smaller countries.
Factors contributing to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index included an underweight exposure to Japan, where markets fell for U.S.-based investors due to a sharply depreciating yen. The Fund’s active sector allocations within Japan also improved relative returns during the period. This was due in part to an underweight position in the consumer discretionary sector, which fell.
In Switzerland, the Fund’s stock selections within the financials sector also added to relative performance -- partially the result of excluding high beta stocks. Additionally, sector allocations in Singapore contributed to relative returns, resulting from an underweight position in communication services during the period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 (August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023).
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). 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.
| Beginning Account Value (8/1/22) | Ending Account Value (1/31/23) | Expenses Paid During Period* (8/1/22 – 1/31/23) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Actual | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,069.10 | $4.02** | 0.77% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,070.80 | $2.71** | 0.52% |
Class R | $1,000.00 | $1,067.50 | $5.32** | 1.02% |

Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,022.58 | $2.65** | 0.52% |
Class R | $1,000.00 | $1,020.06 | $5.19** | 1.02% |
Class R6 | $1,000.00 | $1,022.74 | $2.50** | 0.49% |
* | 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 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on July 31, 2022. |
** | Absent an allocation of certain expenses to affiliates, expenses would be higher. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Parametric International Equity Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class A shares are offered at net asset value to shareholders who owned Investor Class shares which were redesignated as Class A shares on January 15, 2020, and only for such shareholders’ accounts established prior to such date. Class I (renamed from Institutional Class effective April 29, 2022) shares, Class R and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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.
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) 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 National Market System 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 Fund'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.
Other. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Trustees have designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect 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—Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, the Fund 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 Fund’s financial statements for such outstanding reclaims.
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.

International Equity Fund
January 31, 2023
Notes to Financial Statements — continued
As of January 31, 2023, 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 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 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 Foreign Currency Translation—Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
G Use of Estimates—The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with 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.
H Indemnifications—Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
2 Distributions to Shareholders 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 the ex-dividend date. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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 to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022 was as follows:
| Year Ended January 31, |
| 2023 | 2022 |
Ordinary income | $12,546,353 | $27,232,795 |
Long-term capital gains | $ 6,652,046 | $ 5,703,327 |
During the year ended January 31, 2023, distributable earnings was decreased by $3,579,142 and paid-in capital was increased by $3,579,142 primarily due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
As of January 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Deferred capital losses | $ (6,038,958) |
Net unrealized appreciation | 33,873,138 |
Distributable earnings | $27,834,180 |
At January 31, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $6,038,958 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 January 31, 2023, $4,937,181 are short-term and $1,101,777 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at January 31, 2023, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost | $ 447,895,265 |
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ 94,142,591 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (60,264,436) |
Net unrealized appreciation | $ 33,878,155 |
3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser and administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory and administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rate |
Up to $1 billion | 0.400% |
$1 billion but less than $2.5 billion | 0.375% |
$2.5 billion but less than $5 billion | 0.360% |
$5 billion and over | 0.350% |
For the year ended January 31, 2023, the investment adviser and administration fee amounted to $2,110,084 or 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, EVM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), an affiliate of EVM and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. EVM pays Parametric a portion of its investment adviser and administration fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.
Effective April 26, 2022, the Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment adviser and administration fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the year ended January 31, 2023, the investment adviser and administration fee paid was reduced by $1,090 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by EVM. EVM did not receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
EVM and Parametric have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding expenses such as brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses of unaffiliated funds, borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.75%, 0.50%, 1.00% and 0.47% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class I, Class R and Class R6, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after May 31, 2023. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and Parametric were allocated $352,648 in total of the Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended January 31, 2023.

EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended January 31, 2023, EVM earned $30,911 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 $458 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended January 31, 2023. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class R shares (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 year ended January 31, 2023, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. 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 year ended January 31, 2023 amounted to $189,761 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class R shares (Class R Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class R Plan requires the Fund to pay EVD an amount up to 0.50% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Trustees of the Trust have currently limited Class R distribution payments to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. For the year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $18,522 for Class R shares.
Pursuant to the Class R 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 year ended January 31, 2023 amounted to $18,522 for Class R 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
Class A shares may be subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if redeemed within 12 months (18 months prior to April 29, 2022) 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 year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund was informed that EVD received no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.
6 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $71,366,473 and $199,274,695, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2023.

8 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $725 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 25, 2022, the borrowing limit was decreased from $800 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) 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. Also in connection with the renewal of the agreement, an arrangement fee totaling $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. 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. Average borrowings and the average annual interest rate (excluding fees) for the year ended January 31, 2023 were $994,008 and 3.97%, respectively.

9 Securities Lending Agreement
The Fund has established a securities lending agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) as securities lending agent in which the Fund lends portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund earns interest on the amount invested but it must pay (and at times receive from) the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. For security loans secured by non-cash collateral, the Fund earns a negotiated lending fee from the borrower. A portion of the income earned by the Fund from its investment of cash collateral, net of rebate fees, and lending fees received is allocated to SSBT for its services as lending agent and the portion allocated to the Fund is presented as securities lending income, net on the Statement of Operations. Non-cash collateral is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund is subject to possible delay in the recovery of loaned securities. Pursuant to the securities lending agreement, SSBT has provided indemnification to the Fund in the event of default by a borrower with respect to a loan. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral.
At January 31, 2023, the value of the securities loaned and the value of the collateral received, which exceeded the value of the securities loaned, amounted to $28,364,383 and $30,020,337, respectively. Collateral received was comprised of cash of $10,847,429 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $19,172,908. The securities lending transactions have no contractual maturity date and each of the Fund and borrower has the option to terminate a loan at any time.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of January 31, 2023.
| Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions |
| Overnight and Continuous | <30 days | 30 to 90 days | >90 days | Total |
Common Stocks | $ 10,846,910 | $ — | $ — | $ — | $ 10,846,910 |
Warrants | 519 | — | — | — | 519 |
Total | $10,847,429 | $ — | $ — | $ — | $10,847,429 |
The carrying amount of the liability for collateral for securities loaned at January 31, 2023 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11) at January 31, 2023.
10 Investments in Affiliated Issuers and Funds
At January 31, 2023, the value of the Fund's investment in affiliated issuers and funds, including issuers and funds that may be deemed to be affiliated, was $2,544,483, which represents 0.5% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the year ended January 31, 2023 were as follows:

11 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At January 31, 2023, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3* | Total |
Common Stocks: | | | | |
Asia/Pacific | $ 1,517,875 | $ 138,831,250 | $ 44,216 | $ 140,393,341 |
Developed Europe | 4,161,492 | 315,672,676 | 0 | 319,834,168 |
Developed Middle East | 1,576,590 | 7,922,257 | — | 9,498,847 |

Total Investments | $19,303,021 | $462,426,183 | $44,216 | $481,773,420 |
* | None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund. |
** | Includes foreign equity securities whose values were adjusted to reflect market trading of comparable securities or other correlated instruments that occurred after the close of trading in their applicable foreign markets. |
Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended January 31, 2023 is not presented.
12 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks of disease, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund’s performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Parametric International Equity Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Parametric International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

However, if such retirement and resignation would cause the Fund to be out of compliance with Section 16 of the 1940 Act or any other regulations or guidance of the SEC, then such retirement and resignation will not become effective until such time as action has been taken for the Fund to be in compliance therewith. The “noninterested Trustees” consist of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined under the 1940 Act.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations 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 investment adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund. 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 and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), sub-adviser to the Fund, are registered with the CFTC as commodity pool operators. The adviser and Parametric are also registered as commodity trading advisors.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance†
Economic and Market Conditions
Emerging-market (EM) equities fell meaningfully in 2022, impacted by high inflation, rising interest rates, a strong U.S. dollar, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the Index) returned -12.12% during the 12-month period ended January 31, 2023. Negative performance was influenced by weakness in parts of Asia and Europe, though pockets of strength could be found. In addition, a rally in commodity prices buoyed natural resource-rich countries during the period.
Though not the worst-performing country, China was the predominant source of Index weakness during the period. Bejing’s ongoing regulatory crackdowns, along with its draconian zero-COVID policy, were the main sources of poor performance during the period. South Korea and Taiwan also faced negative impacts from a slowdown in China’s economy as diminished exports to their populous neighbor dragged down both countries. A global pullback in technology shares during the period was an additional source of trouble for the three Asian countries.
In Europe, performance was challenged by geopolitical conflict, with emerging markets located close to the war in Ukraine and countries reliant on Russian energy taking the brunt of the losses, which included double-digit declines in Hungary and Poland. Further weighing on EM returns was Russia’s removal from the Index at zero value after the country was deemed “uninvestable.”
On the other hand, Turkey’s stock market gained over 65% as investors sought refuge to hedge high inflation within the country. More broadly, resilient commodity prices amid rising global inflation provided an economic backstop for many Latin American countries, with Brazil, Chile, and Mexico delivering solid performance gains during the period.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2023, Parametric Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) returned -6.32% for Class A shares at net asset value, outperforming its benchmark, the Index, which returned -12.12%.
The Fund’s emphasis on diversification -- via a system of targeting country weights and systematically rebalancing them back to those target weights -- contributed to performance relative to the Index during the period. Based on diversification targets, the Fund held underweight exposures to larger countries, and overweight exposures to smaller countries during the period. The Fund’s emphasis on diversification at the sector level also helped relative returns in each emerging market. The Fund’s inclusion of out-of-Index frontier market countries was an additional source of outperformance during the period.
An overweight exposure to Turkey contributed to performance relative to the Index during the period. Turkey was the best-performing emerging market, advancing over 65% as local investors plowed assets into its stock market in hopes of outpacing inflation. The Fund’s overweight exposure to Thailand also benefited relative performance during the period. Thailand’s stock market advanced on broad strength across sectors, including a significant jump in health care and technology shares. Furthermore, an underweight position in Taiwan helped returns, as a strong decline in technology shares detracted from performance versus the Index during the period.
In contrast, an underweight exposure to India detracted from returns relative to the Index. India’s stock market outperformed the Index during the period due to solid gains from its industrials and consumer staples sectors. The Fund’s sector allocations in Brazil also negatively impacted relative performance, largely due to an overweight position in health care, which fell significantly. In addition, the Fund’s inclusion of Vietnam detracted from relative returns during the period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

| Important Notice to Shareholders |
| Effective April 29, 2022, the Fund’s Investor Class shares were redesignated as Class A shares. Class A shares are subject to a front-end sales charge, subject to certain exceptions. Former Investor Class shareholders, who established their Fund accounts before April 29, 2022, did not pay a sales charge in connection with the redesignation or will not be subject to this sales charge on future purchases of Class A shares for such accounts. Effective April 29, 2022, the Fund’s Institutional Class shares were redesignated as Class I shares. This share class redesignation did not result in changes to the annual operating expenses of Class I or the Fund. |

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 (August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023).
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). 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.
| Beginning Account Value (8/1/22) | Ending Account Value (1/31/23) | Expenses Paid During Period* (8/1/22 – 1/31/23) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Actual | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,080.50 | $ 8.97 | 1.71% |
Class C | $1,000.00 | $1,076.70 | $12.88 | 2.46% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,081.90 | $ 7.66 | 1.46% |
Class R6 | $1,000.00 | $1,082.10 | $ 7.29 | 1.39% |

Hypothetical | | | | |
(5% return per year before expenses) | | | | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,016.59 | $ 8.69 | 1.71% |
Class C | $1,000.00 | $1,012.80 | $12.48 | 2.46% |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,017.85 | $ 7.43 | 1.46% |
Class R6 | $1,000.00 | $1,018.20 | $ 7.07 | 1.39% |
* | 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 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on July 31, 2022. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Parametric Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A (renamed from Investor Class effective April 29, 2022) shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Former Investor Class shareholders, who established their Fund accounts before April 29, 2022, did not pay a sales charge in connection with the redesignation or will not be subject to this sales charge on future purchases of Class A shares for such accounts. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Effective March 1, 2013, Class C shares of the Fund are no longer available for purchase, except by existing shareholders (including shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions) or employer sponsored retirement plans. Effective November 5, 2020, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class I (renamed from Institutional Class effective April 29, 2022) shares and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Sub-accounting, recordkeeping and similar administrative fees payable to financial intermediaries, which are a component of transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations, are not allocated to Class R6 shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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.
Equity Securities. Equity securities (including warrants and rights) 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 National Market System 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 Fund'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.
Other. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Trustees have designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect 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—Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions from investment companies are recorded as dividend income, capital gains or return of capital based on the nature of the distribution. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, the Fund 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
Parametric
Emerging Markets Fund
January 31, 2023
Notes to Financial Statements — continued
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 outstanding reclaims.
D Federal and Other Taxes—The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
In addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, the Fund estimates the accrual for such taxes, if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are included in the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains taxes on securities sold are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments.
As of January 31, 2023, 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 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 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 Foreign Currency Translation—Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
G Use of Estimates—The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with 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.
H Indemnifications—Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
2 Distributions to Shareholders 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 the ex-dividend date. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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 to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022 was as follows:
| Year Ended January 31, |
| 2023 | 2022 |
Ordinary income | $9,147,965 | $5,705,604 |
Parametric
Emerging Markets Fund
January 31, 2023
Notes to Financial Statements — continued
During the year ended January 31, 2023, accumulated loss was increased by $1,249,154 and paid-in capital was increased by $1,249,154 primarily due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of January 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ 1,050,251 |
Deferred capital losses | (271,246,971) |
Net unrealized appreciation | 32,725,888 |
Accumulated loss | $(237,470,832) |
At January 31, 2023, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $271,246,971 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 January 31, 2023, $229,420 are short-term and $271,017,551 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at January 31, 2023, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost | $ 175,016,769 |
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ 74,338,610 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (40,688,136) |
Net unrealized appreciation | $ 33,650,474 |
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rate |
Up to $500 million | 0.850% |
$500 million but less than $1 billion | 0.800% |
$1 billion but less than $2.5 billion | 0.775% |
$2.5 billion but less than $5 billion | 0.750% |

The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received no sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended January 31, 2023. EVD 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 organization receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with EVM may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended January 31, 2023, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. 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 year ended January 31, 2023 amounted to $67,164 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. 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 year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $1,804 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 year ended January 31, 2023 amounted to $602 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 12 months of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Redemptions of Class A shares by former Investor Class shareholders are not subject to a CDSC. 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 year ended January 31, 2023, 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 Purchases and Sales of Investments

8 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $725 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 25, 2022, the borrowing limit was decreased from $800 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) 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. Also in connection with the renewal of the agreement, an arrangement fee totaling $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2023.

9 Securities Lending Agreement
The Fund has established a securities lending agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) as securities lending agent in which the Fund lends portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund earns interest on the amount invested but it must pay (and at times receive from) the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. For security loans secured by non-cash collateral, the Fund earns a negotiated lending fee from the borrower. A portion of the income earned by the Fund from its investment of cash collateral, net of rebate fees, and lending fees received is allocated to SSBT for its services as lending agent and the portion allocated to the Fund is presented as securities lending income, net on the Statement of Operations. Non-cash collateral is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund is subject to possible delay in the recovery of loaned securities. Pursuant to the securities lending agreement, SSBT has provided indemnification to the Fund in the event of default by a borrower with respect to a loan. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral.
At January 31, 2023, the value of the securities loaned and the value of the collateral received, which exceeded the value of the securities loaned, amounted to $3,048,845 and $3,292,121, respectively. Collateral received was comprised of cash of $1,003,737 and U.S. government and/or agencies securities of $2,288,384. The securities lending transactions have no contractual maturity date and each of the Fund and borrower has the option to terminate a loan at any time.
The following table provides a breakdown of securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the obligations by class of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of January 31, 2023.
| Remaining Contractual Maturity of the Transactions |
| Overnight and Continuous | <30 days | 30 to 90 days | >90 days | Total |
Common Stocks | $1,003,737 | $ — | $ — | $ — | $1,003,737 |
The carrying amount of the liability for collateral for securities loaned at January 31, 2023 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11) at January 31, 2023.
10 Investments in Affiliated Funds
At January 31, 2023, the value of the Fund's investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $270,603, which represents 0.1% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in such funds by the Fund for the year ended January 31, 2023 were as follows:
Name | Value, beginning of period | Purchases | Sales proceeds | Net realized gain (loss) | Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | Value, end of period | Dividend income | Shares, end of period |
Short-Term Investments |
Liquidity Fund | $ — | $19,258,001 | $(18,987,398) | $ — | $ — | $270,603 | $5,210 | 270,603 |
11 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At January 31, 2023, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund's investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3* | Total |
Common Stocks: | | | | |
Asia/Pacific | $ 4,475,474 | $ 104,981,636 | $ 0 | $ 109,457,110 |

Total Investments | $31,453,452 | $175,259,729 | $1,954,062 | $208,667,243 |
* | None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund. |
** | Includes foreign equity securities whose values were adjusted to reflect market trading of comparable securities or other correlated instruments that occurred after the close of trading in their applicable foreign markets. |
Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended January 31, 2023 is not presented.
12 Risks and Uncertainties
Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
Emerging market securities often involve greater risks than developed market securities. Investment markets within emerging market countries are typically smaller, less liquid, less developed and more volatile than those in more developed markets like the United States, and may be focused in certain economic sectors. The information available about an emerging market issuer may be less reliable than for comparable issuers in more developed capital markets. Governmental actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in emerging market countries. It may be more difficult to make a claim or obtain a judgment in the courts of these countries than it is in the United States. The possibility of fraud, negligence, undue influence being exerted by an issuer or refusal to recognize ownership exists in some emerging markets. Disruptions due to work stoppages and trading improprieties in foreign securities markets have caused such markets to close. Emerging market securities are also subject to speculative trading, which contributes to their volatility.
On February 24, 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine, following rising tensions over the buildup of Russian troops along the Ukrainian border and joint military exercises by Russia with Belarus. In response to the invasion, many countries, including the U.S., have imposed economic sanctions on Russian governmental institutions, Russian entities, and Russian individuals. The conflict and sanctions have had a negative impact on the Russian economy, on the Russian currency, and on investments having exposure to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. The conflict could also have a significant effect on investments outside the region. The duration and extent of the military conflict with Russia and the related sanctions cannot be predicted at this time.
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks of disease, such as the
Parametric

coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Parametric Emerging Markets Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Parametric Emerging Markets Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Management. The Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust) are responsible for the overall management and supervision of the Trust's affairs. The Board members and officers of the Trust are listed below. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the last five years.

However, if such retirement and resignation would cause the Fund to be out of compliance with Section 16 of the 1940 Act or any other regulations or guidance of the SEC, then such retirement and resignation will not become effective until such time as action has been taken for the Fund to be in compliance therewith. The “noninterested Trustees” consist of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined under the 1940 Act. The business address of each Board member and officer is Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations 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 investment adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund. 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 and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), sub-adviser to the Fund, are registered with the CFTC as commodity pool operators. The adviser and Parametric are also registered as commodity trading advisors.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance†
Economic and Market Conditions
After a 28.7% surge by the broad market S&P 500® Index in 2021 -- hitting 70 new all-time highs to cap off a three-year total return of 100% -- the 12-month period ended January 31, 2023, may have been an inflection point of sorts for markets worldwide. A “transitory inflation” narrative held by multiple economists early in the period eroded as the Consumer Price Index surpassed 9%, the highest level in 40 years. Consumer price indicators in other countries also showed similar inflationary patterns during the period.
In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other global central banks acted decisively during the period with aggressive rate hikes to intentionally slow consumer demand and tame runaway prices. As part of the fallout from rising rates, stock volatility nearly doubled during the period -- making calendar year 2022 the first year in history that both equity and bond markets posted double-digit performance losses.
As stock-bond diversification generally failed to reduce portfolio risk, many investors who looked toward equity-hedging strategies were disappointed during the period. That’s because the Cboe S&P 500 5% Put Protection IndexSM -- which buys 1-month put options to protect underlying long equities -- returned -10.33%, underperforming the S&P 500® Index, which returned -8.22% during the period.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2023, Parametric Volatility Risk Premium-Defensive Fund (the Fund) returned -2.26% for Class I shares at net asset value (NAV), outperforming its primary benchmark, the Cboe S&P 500 BuyWrite IndexSM (the Index), which returned -5.30%. The Index is a passive covered call-writing benchmark. The Fund also outperformed its secondary benchmark -- a blend of 50% S&P 500® Index/50% ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index -- which returned -2.70% during the period.
The Fund pursued its objective by investing in a base portfolio generally composed of an approximately equal mix of equity securities and U.S. Treasury bills. The Fund sells -- or writes -- call and put options on the S&P 500® Index, a broad-based U.S. stock market benchmark. Written call and put options are intended to harvest the volatility risk premium, or VRP -- the difference between implied volatility and subsequent realized volatility, which has been historically positive and uncorrelated with other sources of returns.
The long equity securities held in the Fund were passively managed to reflect the S&P 500® Index, but actively managed to maximize after-tax returns. Sampling techniques were used to help mitigate the tax impact on investors during the period. For the period as a whole, equities detracted -4.45% from returns relative to the S&P 500® Index, while net option returns for written calls and puts contributed 2.49% to relative returns during the period. The Fund’s performance also gained value from the sale of options. In contrast, investors who bought certain downside protections did not fare as well during the period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases; 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 (August 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023).
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). 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.
| Beginning Account Value (8/1/22) | Ending Account Value (1/31/23) | Expenses Paid During Period* (8/1/22 – 1/31/23) | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Actual | | | | |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,011.40 | $2.48 | 0.49% |

Hypothetical | | | | |
(5% return per year before expenses) | | | | |
Class I | $1,000.00 | $1,022.74 | $2.50 | 0.49% |
* | 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 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on July 31, 2022. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Parametric Volatility Risk Premium - Defensive Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is total return. The Fund offers Class I (renamed from Institutional Class effective April 29, 2022) shares, which are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge.
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.
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 National Market System 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.
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. U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices at valuation time as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options and over-the-counter options are valued by a third party pricing service using techniques that consider factors including the value of the underlying instrument, the volatility of the underlying instrument and the period of time until option expiration.
Other. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day.
Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Trustees have designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect 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—Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
D Federal Taxes—The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
As of January 31, 2023, 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 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
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 Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
H Written Options—Upon the writing of a call or a put option, the premium received by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written, in accordance with the Fund’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. When an index option is exercised, the Fund is required to deliver an amount of cash determined by the excess of the exercise price of the option over the value of the index (in the case of a put) or the excess of the value of the index over the exercise price of the option (in the case of a call) at contract termination. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as a writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or other assets may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities or other assets underlying the written option. The Fund may also bear the risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.
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 the ex-dividend date. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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 to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2023 and January 31, 2022 was as follows:
| Year Ended January 31, |
| 2023 | 2022 |
Ordinary income | $ 6,138,503 | $3,008,213 |
Long-term capital gains | $45,599,543 | $9,045,058 |
During the year ended January 31, 2023, distributable earnings was decreased by $9,052,752 and paid-in capital was increased by $9,052,752 due to the Fund’s use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of January 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed long-term capital gains | $ 7,226,082 |
Net unrealized appreciation | 158,614,505 |
Distributable earnings | $165,840,587 |

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at January 31, 2023, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost | $557,634,169 |
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ 160,862,359 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | (2,247,854) |
Net unrealized appreciation | $158,614,505 |
3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser and administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory and administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:
Average Daily Net Assets | Annual Fee Rate |
Up to $1 billion | 0.400% |
$1 billion but less than $2.5 billion | 0.375% |
$2.5 billion but less than $5 billion | 0.360% |
$5 billion and over | 0.350% |
For the year ended January 31, 2023, the investment adviser and administration fee amounted to $3,168,274 or 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, EVM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), an affiliate of EVM and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. EVM pays Parametric a portion of its investment adviser and administration fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. Effective April 26, 2022, the Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment adviser and administration fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the year ended January 31, 2023, the investment adviser and administration fee paid was reduced by $22,733 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by EVM. EVM did not receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended January 31, 2023, EVM earned $121,285 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations.
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s 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 year ended January 31, 2023, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.
4 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $110,815,550 and $184,746,482, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2023.

5 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:
| Year Ended January 31, 2023 | | Year Ended January 31, 2022 |
| Shares | Amount | | Shares | Amount |

6 Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include written options 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 January 31, 2023 is included in the Portfolio of Investments. At January 31, 2023, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund employs a systematic, rules based options strategy of writing call and put options on the S&P 500 Index, that seeks to take advantage of the volatility risk premium (i.e., the tendency for volatility priced into an option to be higher, on average, than the volatility actually experienced on the securities underlying the option). Premiums received from writing options can offset the equity risk premium foregone.
The fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk at January 31, 2023 was as follows:
| Fair Value |
Derivative | Asset Derivative | Liability Derivative(1) |
Written options | $ — | $(3,014,025) |
|
(1) | Statement of Assets and Liabilities location: Written options outstanding, at value. |
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk for the year ended January 31, 2023 was as follows:
Derivative | Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income(1) | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income(2) |
Written options | $16,676,888 | $498,696 |
|
(1) | Statement of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss): Written options. |
(2) | Statement of Operations location: Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation): Written options. |

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
The average number of written options contracts outstanding during the year ended January 31, 2023, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was 1,309 contracts.
7 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $725 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 25, 2022, the borrowing limit was decreased from $800 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) 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. Also in connection with the renewal of the agreement, an arrangement fee totaling $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2023.
8 Securities Lending Agreement
The Fund has established a securities lending agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) as securities lending agent in which the Fund lends portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund earns interest on the amount invested but it must pay (and at times receive from) the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. For security loans secured by non-cash collateral, the Fund earns a negotiated lending fee from the borrower. A portion of the income earned by the Fund from its investment of cash collateral, net of rebate fees, and lending fees received is allocated to SSBT for its services as lending agent and the portion allocated to the Fund is presented as securities lending income, net on the Statement of Operations. Non-cash collateral is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund is subject to possible delay in the recovery of loaned securities. Pursuant to the securities lending agreement, SSBT has provided indemnification to the Fund in the event of default by a borrower with respect to a loan. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral.

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 January 31, 2023, 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 |
Common Stocks | $ 367,053,025* | $ — | $ — | $ 367,053,025 |
Short-Term Investments: | | | | |

11 Risks and Uncertainties
Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks of disease, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Shareholders of Parametric Volatility Risk Premium - Defensive Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Parametric Volatility Risk Premium - Defensive Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2023, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
