Global Macro Portfolio as of April 30, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Global Macro Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Portfolio’s investment objective is to seek total return. Total return is defined as income plus capital appreciation. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At April 30, 2010, Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Fund, Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund and Eaton Vance International (Cayman Islands) Strategic Income Fund held an interest of 72.3%, 21.6% and 3.3%, respectively, in the Portfolio.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment Valuation — Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days and excluding most seasoned mortgage-backed securities) are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Most seasoned, fixed rate 30-year mortgage-backed securities are valued through the use of the investment adviser’s matrix pricing system, which takes into account bond prices, yield differentials, anticipated prepayments and interest rates provided by dealers. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less (excluding those that are non-U.S. dollar denominated, which typically are valued by a pricing service or dealer quotes) are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price for the day of valuation as quoted on any exchange on which the option is listed or, in the absence of sales on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority. Over-the-counter options (including options on securities, indices and foreign currencies) are valued by a third party pricing service using techniques that consider factors including the value of the underlying instrument, the volatility of the underlying instrument and the period of time until option expiration. Financial futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Portfolio’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. Interest rate swaps and options on interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. Such pricing service valuations are based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value using swap quotations provided by electronic data services or by broker/dealers. Alternatively, swaptions may be valued at the valuation provided by the counterparty, so determined using the same techniques as those employed by the pricing service. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Portfolio in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Portfolio might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all
25
Global Macro Portfolio as of April 30, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
B Investment Transactions — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C Income — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Inflation adjustments to the principal amount of inflation-adjusted bonds and notes are reflected as interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates.
D Federal Taxes — The Portfolio has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of taxable income. Since at least one of the Portfolio’s investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least annually among its investors, each investor’s distributive share of the Portfolio’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
As of April 30, 2010, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Portfolio’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended October 31, 2009 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
E ��Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Portfolio’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.
F Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications — Under the Portfolio’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, interestholders in the Portfolio could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Portfolio. However, the Portfolio’s Declaration of Trust contains an
26
Global Macro Portfolio as of April 30, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
express disclaimer of liability on the part of Portfolio interestholders and the By-laws provide that the Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred.
I Financial Futures Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts. The Portfolio’s investment in financial futures contracts is designed for hedging against changes in interest rates or as a substitute for the purchase of securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Portfolio each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.
J Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Portfolio enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contract is adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contract has been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
K Written Options — Upon the writing of a call or a put option, the premium received by the Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written, in accordance with the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Portfolio. The Portfolio, as a writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or other assets may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the securities or other assets underlying the written option. The Portfolio may also bear the risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.
L Purchased Options — Upon the purchase of a call or put option, the premium paid by the Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The amount of the investment is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased, in accordance with the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. If an option which the Portfolio has purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Portfolio exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.
M Interest Rate Swaps — The Portfolio may enter into interest rate swap agreements to enhance return, to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices or interest rates, or as substitution for the purchase or sale of securities. Pursuant to these agreements, the Portfolio either makes floating-rate payments based on a benchmark interest rate in exchange for fixed-rate payments or the Portfolio makes fixed-rate payments in exchange for payments on a floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship
27
Global Macro Portfolio as of April 30, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
between two rates of interest. The Portfolio is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates.
N Spread Lock Swap Contracts — A spread lock swap contract allows the user to lock in the forward differential (or spread) between the swap rate and a specified benchmark on an interest rate swap contract. These contracts involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated based on the difference between the swap spread and an agreed upon fixed spread, the notional amount of the agreement and the duration of the swap. During the term of the outstanding spread lock swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. Payments received or made at the termination of the spread lock swap contract are recorded as realized gains or losses. Upon termination, the Portfolio is obligated to enter into the interest rate swap agreement which can be closed at any time up to the maturity date at the then current value. The Portfolio is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty.
O Cross-Currency Swaps — Cross-currency swaps are interest rate swaps in which interest cash flows are exchanged between two parties based on the notional amounts of two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. Cross-currency swaps also involve the exchange of the notional amounts at the start of the contract at the current spot rate with an agreement to re-exchange such amounts at a later date at either the same exchange rate, a specified rate or the then current spot rate. The entire principal value of a cross-currency swap is subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations.
P Credit Default Swaps — When the Portfolio is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Portfolio is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Portfolio pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Portfolio would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits from the contract. When the Portfolio is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Portfolio could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Portfolio for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Portfolio effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Portfolio also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Upfront payments or receipts, if any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Portfolio segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
Q Total Return Swaps — In a total return swap, the Portfolio makes payments at a rate equal to a predetermined spread to the one or three-month LIBOR. In exchange, the Portfolio receives payments based on the rate of return of a benchmark industry index or basket of securities. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between the rate of interest and the benchmark industry index or basket of securities. The Portfolio is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of interest rates, securities, or the index.
R When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis, including TBA (To Be Announced) securities. Payment and
28
Global Macro Portfolio as of April 30, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Portfolio maintains security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
S Repurchase Agreements — The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers determined to be creditworthy by the Portfolio’s investment adviser. Under a repurchase agreement, the Portfolio buys a security at one price and simultaneously promises to sell that same security back to the seller at a higher price for settlement at a later date. At the time the Portfolio enters into a repurchase agreement, it typically receives collateral at least equal to the repurchase price. The value of the collateral will be marked to market daily and, except in the case of a repurchase agreement entered to facilitate a short sale, the value of such collateral will at least equal 90% of such repurchase price. The terms of a repurchase agreement entered into to facilitate a short sale may provide that the value of collateral received by the Portfolio is less than the repurchase price. In such a case, the Portfolio will segregate liquid assets equal to the marked to market value of its obligation to the counterparty to the repurchase agreement. In the event of bankruptcy of the counterparty or a third party custodian, the Portfolio might experience delays in recovering its cash or experience a loss.
T Securities Sold Short — The Portfolio may seek to hedge investments or increase total return through short sales of securities. A short sale is a transaction in which the Portfolio sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Portfolio must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer with an obligation to replace such borrowed security at a later date. Until the security is replaced, the Portfolio is required to repay the lender any dividends or interest, which accrue during the period of the loan. The proceeds received from a short sale are recorded as a liability and the Portfolio records an unrealized gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the value of the open short position on the day of determination. A gain, limited to the price at which the Portfolio sold the security short, or a loss, potentially unlimited as there is no upward limit on the price of a security, is recorded when the short position is terminated. Interest payable on securities sold short is recorded as interest expense.
U Forward Sale Commitments — The Portfolio may enter into forward sale commitments to enhance return. The proceeds to be received from the forward sale commitment are recorded as a liability and are subsequently valued at approximately the current market value of the underlying security in accordance with the Portfolio’s policies on investment valuations discussed above. The Portfolio records an unrealized gain or loss on investments to the extent of the difference between the proceeds to be received and the value of the open forward sale commitment on the day of determination. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment or the delivery of securities, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on investments based on the price established when the Portfolio entered into the commitment.
2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.615% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.595% from $500 million up to $1 billion, 0.575% from $1 billion up to $1.5 billion, 0.555% from $1.5 billion up to $2 billion, 0.520% from $2 billion up to $3 billion, and 0.490% of average daily net assets of $3 billion or more, and is payable monthly. Prior to its liquidation in February 2010, the portion of the adviser fee payable by Cash Management Portfolio, an affiliated investment company, on the Portfolio’s investment of cash therein was credited against the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio currently invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee totaled $7,004,023 of which $110,410 was allocated from Cash Management Portfolio and $6,893,613 was paid or accrued directly by the Portfolio. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee, including the portion allocated from Cash Management Portfolio, was 0.564% (annualized) of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.

5 Financial Instruments
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts and swap contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

* | | If the Portfolio is the seller of credit protection, the notional amount is the maximum potential amount of future payments the Portfolio could be required to make if a credit event, as defined in the credit default swap agreement, were to occur. At April 30, 2010, such maximum potential amount for all open credit default swaps in which the Portfolio is the seller was $26,600,000. |

*** | | Current market annual fixed rates, utilized in determining the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of period end, serve as an indicator of the market’s perception of the current status of the payment/performance risk associated with the credit derivative. The current market annual fixed rate of a particular reference entity reflects the cost, as quoted by the pricing vendor, of selling protection against default of that entity as of period end and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. The higher the fixed rate, the greater the market perceived risk of a credit event involving the reference entity. A rate identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the reference entity. |

At April 30, 2010, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
In the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives, the Portfolio is subject to the following risks:
Credit Risk: The Portfolio may enter into credit default swap contracts to manage its credit risk, to gain exposure to a credit in which the Portfolio may otherwise invest, or to enhance return.
Equity Risk: The Portfolio may enter into total return swap agreements on a security, basket of securities or an index to enhance return, to change the duration of the overall portfolio, to hedge against fluctuations in securities prices or interest rates or as substitution for the purchase or sale of securities. The Portfolio may enter into equity index futures contracts to enhance return.
Foreign Exchange Risk: The Portfolio engages in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency options to enhance return, to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, to manage certain investment risks and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.
Interest Rate Risk: The Portfolio holds fixed-rate bonds. The value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To hedge against this risk, the Portfolio may enter into interest rate and cross-currency swap contracts. The Portfolio may also purchase and sell U.S. Treasury and foreign debt futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The Portfolio enters into swap contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Portfolio’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Portfolio for those derivatives in a liability position. At April 30, 2010, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $4,897,577. The aggregate fair value of assets pledged as collateral by the Portfolio for such liability was $4,643,329 at April 30, 2010.
The non-exchange traded derivatives in which the Portfolio invests, including swap contracts, over-the counter options and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. The Portfolio is not subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to its written options as the Portfolio, not the counterparty, is obligated to perform under such derivatives. At April 30, 2010, the maximum amount of loss the Portfolio would incur due to counterparty risk was $47,315,761, representing the fair value of such derivatives in an asset position, with the highest amount from any one counterparty being $8,140,808. Such maximum amount would be increased by any unamortized upfront payments made by the Portfolio. To mitigate this risk, the Portfolio has entered into master netting agreements with substantially all its derivative counterparties, which allows it and a counterparty to aggregate amounts owed by each of them for derivative transactions under the agreement into a single net amount payable by either the Portfolio or the counterparty. At April 30, 2010, the maximum amount of loss the Portfolio would incur due to counterparty risk would be reduced by approximately $21,644,000 due to master netting agreements. Counterparties may be required to pledge collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Government securities or highly-rated bonds for the benefit of the Portfolio if the net amount due from the counterparty with respect to a derivative contract exceeds a certain threshold. The amount of collateral posted by the counterparties with respect to such contracts would also reduce the amount of any loss incurred.
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) by risk exposure at April 30, 2010 was as follows:

The average notional amounts of futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended April 30, 2010, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately $102,206,000, $978,074,000 and $669,325,000, respectively.
The average principal amount of purchased currency option contracts outstanding during the six months ended April 30, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $49,534,000.
6 Line of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Portfolio based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Portfolio, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended April 30, 2010.
7 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
Investing in securities issued by entities whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
8 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
37
Global Macro Portfolio as of April 30, 2010
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT’D
| | |
| • | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
|
| • | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
| • | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At April 30, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

Global Macro Portfolio as of April 30, 2010
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Investors of Global Macro Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Global Macro Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of April 30, 2010, the related statement of operations for the six month period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the six month period then ended and the year ended October 31, 2009, and the supplementary data for the six month period then ended and each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2009. These financial statements and supplementary data are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplementary data based on our audits. The supplementary data for the years ended October 31, 2006, and all prior periods presented were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on the supplementary data in their report dated December 27, 2006.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and supplementary data are free of material misstatement. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and supplementary data referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Macro Portfolio as of April 30, 2010, the results of its operations for the six month period then ended, the changes in its net assets for the six month period then ended and the year ended October 31, 2009, and the supplementary data for the six month period then ended and each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

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

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