Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. Each Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act and is not subject to the CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, each Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
Two intertwined forces dominated fixed-income markets during the one-year period ended March 31, 2013: a low interest-rate environment that drove investors to search for yield and investors’ increased appetite for risk. Highly accommodative monetary policies instituted by central banks around the world pushed interest rates to historic lows. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) acted several times during the period to maintain downward pressure on rates. In the spring of 2012, the Fed extended Operation Twist, the central bank’s swapping of its short-term holdings for long-term Treasury bonds. In September 2012, the Fed began purchasing approximately $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) monthly. And in December 2012, it replaced Operation Twist, which was expiring, with outright purchases of approximately $45 billion more of Treasuries each month — for a combined monthly total of about $85 billion in quantitative easing. This downward pressure on yields drove investors to look elsewhere for income. The result was that many investors increased their allocation to higher-yielding bonds, which pushed up prices for those securities.
At the same time, improving economic conditions made fixed-income investors seem more comfortable with riskier asset classes. In the United States, unemployment began to decline, and the battered housing market appeared to be finally turning around. Overseas, actions by the European Central Bank calmed many investors’ fears that Europe’s debt crisis would lead to a fracturing of the eurozone. Just weeks before period-end, however, a bank crisis in Cyprus reminded investors that Europe’s economic woes are not over.
Against this backdrop, municipal bonds rallied during the one-year period ended March 31, 2013, led by the long end of the yield curve and lower credit-quality6 bonds. The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index2, a measure of the broad U.S. municipal bond market, returned 5.25% for the period. During the same time frame, the Funds’ benchmark, the Barclays Capital 7 Year Municipal Bond Index (the Index) — an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the United States with maturities ranging from six to eight years — rose 4.41%.
As yields on high-quality bonds fell, investors moved out on the yield curve, buying longer-maturity municipal bonds to potentially take advantage of higher yields at the long end of the yield curve. In their quest for income, investors also favored lower-quality, higher-yielding issues. As a result,
longer-duration7, lower-credit-quality bonds were the best performers in the municipal space during the period.
The ratio of 10-year AAA municipal yields to 10-year Treasury yields — which historically has averaged less than 100% because municipal yields are federally tax exempt — began the period at 95.48% and ended the period at 103.24%. Therefore, for the one-year period ended March 31, 2013, Treasuries outperformed municipal bonds. However, at period-end, municipal bonds were attractive relative to Treasuries because they offered higher yields than Treasuries, on both an absolute and tax-equivalent basis.
Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, both Funds outperformed the 4.41% return of the Index. Eaton Vance AMT-Free Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) had a total return of 4.49%, while Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund Class A shares at NAV returned 4.88%.
The Funds’ overall strategy is to invest in municipal obligations that are exempt from regular federal income tax. The Funds seek to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration of between three and nine years to attempt to capture potentially more attractive yields compared with shorter-maturity bonds, but seek to avoid the potentially higher interest-rate risk and volatility of longer-maturity bonds.
While the Index includes only bonds with maturities of six to eight years, the Funds may invest in individual municipal obligations of any maturity and own some longer-maturity bonds in order to capture their potentially higher yields and greater tax-exempt income payments.8 The Funds hedge to various degrees against the greater potential risk of volatility in the area of the yield curve beyond eight years by using Treasury futures in seeking to provide some downside protection. In addition, Eaton Vance AMT-Free Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund avoids bonds with income that is taxable under the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
For the 12-month period, the Funds’ strategy of overweighting longer-maturity bonds, relative to the Index, contributed to performance versus the Index during a period when longer-maturity bonds outperformed. Specifically, performance versus the Index of both Funds benefited from an overweighting in bonds with maturities of 10 years and longer, which are not held by the Index. Overweights in hospital and industrial development revenue (IDR) bonds also aided relative performance versus the Index for both Funds.

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

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1 — continued
Fund-specific Results
For Eaton Vance AMT-Free Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund, security selection in AA-rated issues contributed to performance versus the Index as well. Additional contributors to relative performance versus the Index of Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund included an overweighting and security selection in A-rated and BBB-rated bonds, and security selection in hospital and IDR issues.
In contrast, the Funds’ hedging strategy detracted from the relative performance versus the Index of both Funds during the one-year period. Hedging interest-rate volatility through the use of Treasury futures, a risk management strategy, is intended to moderate performance versus the Index and volatility on both the upside and the downside. So in a period when municipal and Treasury bonds saw strong performance versus the Index, the Funds’ hedge mitigated a portion of the Funds’ positive performance versus the Index and, as intended, reduced the Funds’ volatility during the period.
An underweighting in Illinois, which had the worst credit rating of any state, also detracted from relative performance versus the Index for both Funds. Illinois municipal bonds performed well during a period when investors favored lower-rated, higher-yielding issues, as they pursued yield during a time of historically low interest rates.
A relative underweighting in A-rated bonds, the best-performing ratings category in the Index, also detracted from relative performance versus the Index for Eaton Vance AMT-Free Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund. Security selection in zero-coupon bonds also hurt relative performance versus the Index of Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund.

This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements”. The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

2 | Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Barclays Capital 7 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 6-8 years. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

3 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |

5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be composed of ordinary income, tax-exempt income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. |
| |
6 | Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by Standard and Poor’s or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the rating agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. If securities are rated differently by the rating agencies, the higher rating is applied. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by the national rating agencies stated above. |

7 | Duration is a measure of the expected change in price of a bond — in percentage terms — given a one percent change in interest rates, all else being constant. Securities with lower durations tend to be less sensitive to interest-rate changes. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2012 – March 31, 2013).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each 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 each 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 each table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 0.4% to 13.6% of total investments.

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Investment 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 Trust presently consists of five funds, two of which, each diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance AMT-Free Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (AMT-Free Limited Fund) and Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (National Limited Fund), (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Funds’ investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and limited principal fluctuation. The AMT-Free Limited Fund offers three classes of shares and the National Limited Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares held for the longer of (i) four years or (ii) the time at which the contingent deferred sales charge applicable to such shares expires will automatically convert to Class A shares as described in the Funds’ prospectus. Beginning January 1, 2012, Class B shares are only available for purchase upon exchange from another Eaton Vance fund or through reinvestment of distributions. The AMT-Free Limited Fund previously offered Class B shares. Such offering was discontinued during the year ended March 31, 2013. At the close of business on February 22, 2013, the AMT-Free Limited Fund’s Class B shares were merged into Class A shares. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of a Fund in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of 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 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 entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B Investment Transactions and Related Income — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — Each 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 taxable, if any, and tax-exempt net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in municipal obligations, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. For National Limited Fund, the portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
At March 31, 2013, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards and deferred capital losses which will reduce the respective Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The current year deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ next taxable year and are treated as

realized prior to the utilization of the capital loss carryforward. The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards and the amounts of the deferred capital losses are as follows:

| | |
Deferred capital losses | | $ | 79,676 | | | $ | 15,181,584 | |
Included in the amounts above for National Limited Fund is a capital loss carryforward of $3,303,292 as a result of reorganization on September 23, 2011 (see Note 12) and November 5, 2010. Utilization of this capital loss carryforward may be limited in accordance with certain income tax regulations.
As of March 31, 2013, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance each Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.
F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
I Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — The Funds may invest in residual interest bonds, also referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby a Fund may sell a variable or fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time, the Fund buys a residual interest in the assets and cash flows of a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), set up by the broker. The broker deposits a bond into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Fund (the Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third- parties. The residual interest bond held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the Bond held by the SPV to the Fund, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would generally pay the broker the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Funds account for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Bond in their Portfolio of Investments and the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
rate notes issued” in their Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the broker for redemption at par at each reset date. Interest expense related to the Funds’ liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the broker upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year.
At March 31, 2013, the AMT-Free Limited Fund and National Limited Fund had no Floating Rate Notes outstanding. For the year ended March 31, 2013, the AMT-Free Limited Fund and National Limited Fund had no transactions in residual interest bonds.
The Funds may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with the broker by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Funds had no shortfalls as of March 31, 2013.
The Funds may also purchase residual interest bonds from brokers in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Funds’ investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Funds’ investment policies do not allow the Funds to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Management believes that the Funds’ restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Funds’ restrictions apply. Residual interest bonds held by the Funds are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
J Financial Futures Contracts — Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.
K When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards, if any) are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.

The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended March 31, 2013 | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 1,903,606 | | | $ | 22,582,481 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,177 | | | $ | 116,964 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended March 31, 2012 | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 2,060,460 | | | $ | 24,110,701 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 113 | | | $ | 228,097 | |
During the year ended March 31, 2013, the following amounts were reclassified due to expired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount and expenditures on defaulted bonds:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Change in: | | | | | | | | |
Paid-in capital | | $ | (995,128 | ) | | $ | (1,431,742 | ) |
Accumulated net realized loss | | $ | 1,043,365 | | | $ | 1,448,854 | |
Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | | $ | (48,237 | ) | | $ | (17,112 | ) |
These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.
As of March 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | $ | 22,216 | | | $ | 1,018,817 | |
Capital loss carryforward and deferred capital losses | | $ | (1,938,419 | ) | | $ | (54,702,615 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 6,694,082 | | | $ | 67,426,765 | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (81,282 | ) | | $ | (926,077 | ) |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to futures contracts, the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders, expenditures on defaulted bonds, defaulted bond interest and accretion of market discount.

3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to each Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) as presented in the following table and is payable monthly.
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Daily Net Assets | | Annual Asset Rate | | | Daily Income Rate | |
| | |
Up to $500 million | | | 0.300 | % | | | 3.00 | % |
$500 million up to $1 billion | | | 0.275 | | | | 2.75 | |
On average daily net assets of $1 billion or more, the rates are further reduced.
For the year ended March 31, 2013, investment adviser fees incurred by the Funds and the effective annual rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Investment Adviser Fee | | $ | 286,286 | | | $ | 2,952,711 | |
Effective Annual Rate | | | 0.41 | % | | | 0.41 | % |
EVM serves as administrator of each Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM serves as the sub-transfer agent of each Fund and receives from the transfer agent an aggregate fee based upon the actual expenses incurred by EVM in the performance of these services. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5). Sub-transfer agent fees earned by EVM and Class A sales charges that the Funds were informed were received by EVD for the year ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
EVM’s Sub-Transfer Agent Fees | | $ | 1,160 | | | $ | 8,730 | |
EVD’s Class A Sales Charges | | $ | 6,405 | | | $ | 26,733 | |
Trustees and officers of the Funds who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Funds who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended March 31, 2013, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that each Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to each Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Trustees approved distribution and service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended March 31, 2013 for Class A shares amounted to the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Class A Distribution and Service Fees | | $ | 74,762 | | | $ | 521,223 | |

Each Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and/or Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class B (prior to the close of business on February 22, 2013 for AMT-Free Limited Fund) and Class C Plans, each Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the respective Funds. Each Fund will automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum of (i) 3% and 6.25% of the aggregate amount received by each Fund for Class B and Class C shares sold, respectively, plus (ii) interest calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD of each respective class, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5) and amounts theretofore paid or payable to EVD by each respective class. For the year ended March 31, 2013, the Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees, representing 0.75% (annualized for Class B of the AMT-Free Limited Fund) of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class B and Class C shares:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Class B Distribution Fees | | $ | 3,674 | | | $ | 31,724 | |
Class C Distribution Fees | | $ | 127,868 | | | $ | 1,084,993 | |
At March 31, 2013, the amounts of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Class B and Class C Plans were approximately as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Class B | | $ | — | | | $ | 3,966,000 | |
Class C | | $ | 12,167,000 | | | $ | 23,920,000 | |
The Class B (prior to the close of business on February 22, 2013 for AMT-Free Limited Fund) and Class C Plans also authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to that class. The Trustees approved service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD and, as such, are not subject to automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended March 31, 2013 amounted to the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Class B Service Fees | | $ | 735 | | | $ | 6,345 | |
Class C Service Fees | | $ | 25,574 | | | $ | 216,999 | |
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares (prior to the close of business on February 22, 2013 for AMT-Free Limited Fund) made within four years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 3% in the case of redemptions in the first year after purchase, declining half a percentage point in the second and third year and one percentage point in the fourth year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under each Fund’s Class B and Class C Plans. CDSCs received on Class B and Class C redemptions

8 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of each Fund at March 31, 2013, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Limited Fund | | | National Limited Fund | |
| | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 66,128,299 | | | $ | 647,174,097 | |
| | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 7,233,149 | | | $ | 70,757,815 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (539,067 | ) | | | (3,331,050 | ) |
| | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 6,694,082 | | | $ | 67,426,765 | |
9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $600 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.08% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At March 31, 2013, the AMT-Free Limited Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $2,500,000, at an interest rate of 1.13%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at March 31, 2013. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11) at March 31, 2013. The Funds’ average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended March 31, 2013 were not significant.

10 Financial Instruments
The Funds may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities. These financial instruments may include financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment a 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 March 31, 2013 is as follows:

At March 31, 2013, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Funds hold fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Funds purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The fair values of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk at March 31, 2013 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.
| | |
Ÿ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| | |
Ÿ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| | |
Ÿ | | 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 March 31, 2013, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds’ investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

12 Reorganization
As of the close of business on September 23, 2011, the National Limited Fund acquired the net assets of Eaton Vance New Jersey Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (New Jersey Limited Fund) pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders of New Jersey Limited Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by BMR with substantially similar investment objectives and policies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 3,259,884 shares of Class A of the National Limited Fund (valued at $33,127,013) for the 3,275,936 shares of Class A of New Jersey Limited Fund, 46,192 shares of Class B of the National Limited Fund (valued at $469,668) for the 46,438 shares of Class B of New Jersey Limited Fund, 334,479 shares of Class C of the National Limited Fund (valued at $3,188,414) for the 315,368 shares of Class C of New Jersey Limited Fund, and 98 shares of Class I of the National Limited Fund (valued at $998) for the 99 shares of Class I of New Jersey Limited Fund each outstanding on September 23, 2011. The investment portfolio of New Jersey Limited Fund, with a fair value of $36,398,464 and identified cost of $33,146,730 was the principal asset acquired by the National Limited Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the National Limited Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the identified cost of the investments received from the New Jersey Limited Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the National Limited Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the National Limited Fund immediately before the acquisition were $676,048,146. The net assets of New Jersey Limited Fund at that date of $36,786,093, including $2,702,517 of accumulated net realized losses and $3,251,734 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the National Limited Fund, resulting in combined net assets of $712,834,239.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on April 1, 2011, the beginning of the National Limited Fund’s annual reporting period, the National Limited Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2012 were as follows:
| | | | |
| | | | |
Net investment income | | $ | 24,865,260 | |
Net realized loss | | $ | (10,056,213 | ) |
Net increase in net assets from operations | | $ | 58,599,841 | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it was not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of New Jersey Limited Fund since September 23, 2011 through the period ended March 31, 2012.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Investment Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance AMT-Free Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund and Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance AMT-Free Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund and Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Investment Trust), including the portfolios of investments, as of March 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Eaton Vance AMT-Free Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund and Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund as of March 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the 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.

Ÿ | | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account).

| | |
Ÿ | | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc., Eaton Vance Trust Company, Eaton Vance Management’s Real Estate Investment Group and Boston Management and Research. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Eaton Vance, or your financial advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial advisor, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial advisor. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial advisor.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
