Belair Capital Fund LLC as of December 31, 1998
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Belair Capital Fund LLC (the "Fund") achieved a total return of 17.1% during
the period from its inception on February 6, 1998 until December 31, 1998. This
return reflects an increase in the Fund's net asset value per share from $100.00
to $116.66, and the payment of an income distribution of $0.43 per share at the
conclusion of the year. For comparison, the S&P 500, an unmanaged index commonly
used to measure the performance of U.S. stocks, had a total return of 24.3% over
the same period.*
This year, U.S. equity market leadership came principally from the very largest
capitalization stocks that dominate the S&P 500 and to a lesser extent, the
holdings of Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). During 1998, more
than half of the returns of the S&P 500 came from just 15 stocks - each of which
is a mega-cap stock with a market value of more than $60 billion. Of the 500
stocks in the Index, fewer than 145 stocks did as well as the Index itself and a
majority of Index stocks underperformed the Index by more than 20%. Rarely has
the leadership in the U.S. stock market been as narrow as it was in 1998.
After an impressive rally in the first half of 1998, the market posted heavy
losses from August to early October, then performed strongly in the fourth
quarter. Investor confidence, bolstered by the Federal Reserve Board's interest
rate cuts, modest economic growth, and low inflation, kept stock prices moving
upward. The four-year period ending in 1998 marked the first time in history
that the S&P 500 achieved four consecutive years of annual total returns of at
least 20%.
Volatility and narrow leadership were also characteristics of the fixed income
markets in 1998. The Fund participates in fixed income investments through its
portfolio of Partnership Preference Units issued by operating partnerships
affiliated with publicly-traded REITs. As described in the Fund's semi-annual
report and the third quarter investment update, the Fund's performance during
the year was negatively affected by markdowns in the valuation of its holdings
of Partnership Preference Units and the associated interest rate swap
agreements. On a combined basis, the Fund's Partnership Preference Units and
interest rate swaps generally decline in value when credit spreads widen (as
fixed income markets grow more risk-averse) and generally increase in value when
credit spreads tighten. Although still wider than normal, by the end of the year
credit spreads had begun to narrow after widening precipitously in the third
quarter in reaction to financial turmoil in Russia and other economic hot spots
around the globe.
During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Fund organized a subsidiary, Belair Real
Estate Corporation ("BREC"), to hold the Fund's investments in Partnership
Preference Units. BREC is a Delaware corporation that has been organized and
intends to operate in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT. The
Fund owns 100% of the common stock issued by BREC and intends to hold all of
BREC's common stock at all times. Holding its investments in Partnership
Preference Units through a REIT subsidiary offers two advantages to the Fund and
its Shareholders. First, BREC may be able to acquire Partnership Preference
Units from more issuers than the Fund could invest in directly. Second, the
state tax filing requirements and payments obligations for various states that
apply to Shareholders as a result of the Fund investing directly in Partnership
Preference Units can generally be avoided if the Fund's real estate investments
are held through BREC.
For BREC to qualify as a REIT, it must be beneficially owned in the aggregate by
100 or more persons. BREC has satisfied this requirement by issuing to the Fund
approximately 2,100 shares of 8% preferred stock with a liquidation preference
of $100 per share, and by the Fund in turn donating 20 shares of such preferred
stock to up to 105 (currently 103) charitable organizations. The donation of
approximately $210,000 of preferred stock is an expense of the Fund. Eaton Vance
believes that the costs of organizing BREC and of qualifying BREC as a REIT are
small in relation to the associated benefits, and that holding the Partnership
Preference Units through BREC will result in net cost savings over time for the
Fund and its Shareholders.
Looking ahead to 1999, the factors that precipitated the turbulence in 1998
remain present. While volatility in the markets can be troubling, Eaton Vance
believes that, as a normal and healthy part of the investment process, market
fluctuations present good opportunities for long-term investors. We continue to
believe that the Fund is well-positioned to achieve strong after-tax performance
over the long term.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
An interview with Duncan W. Richardson, Vice President and Portfolio Manager of
Belair Capital Fund LLC and Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio
[PHOTO OF DUNCAN W. RICHARDSON, PORTFOLIO MANAGER APPEARS HERE]
Duncan W. Richardson
Portfolio Manager
Q: Duncan, what can you tell us about the extreme highs and lows of the stock
market over the past year?
A: The market volatility that began in 1997 was amplified in 1998. At this
time last year, we were concerned that the Asian economies would be
collapsing. That fear turned out to be well-founded, but the U.S. market
rallied dramatically between January and April. An already high valuation
range for stocks was stretched to historic levels. With higher valuation
levels comes higher risk. In this environment, any external shock can have
an amplified effect on the market.
We have seen overreactions to political developments, the economic
slowdowns overseas, the risk of currency devaluations, and the deflationary
threat. All have swung the market wildly in the last several months.
Q: How did Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio perform in this context?
A: Overall, we have continued to do quite well despite increasing volatility
in the marketplace. Year in and year out, our goal is to be in the top
quintile of pre-tax performance for all growth funds, and the top decile
for after-tax performance.
For the year, our performance was below that of the S&P 500 but still
better than that of most competitive funds. 1998 was a year in which market
leadership was concentrated in a handful of very large capitalization
stocks that have major weightings in the S&P 500 index. Portfolios such as
ours that had smaller weightings in the very largest companies had a hard
time keeping up with the S&P 500. No doubt our more diversified, more
valuation-sensitive approach hurt us in terms of relative performance in
1998. But we think our less risky approach is likely to continue working
very well over the long term.
Q: Is there one factor that drives the performance of this Portfolio?
A: The performance of the Portfolio can't be attributed to one particular
stock or one particular sector. How the Portfolio performs depends more on
our ability to correctly evaluate the earnings potential of scores of
quality growth companies. We have an extremely well-seasoned team of
analysts, averaging 16 years of experience in their areas of research.
Strong research is central to Eaton Vance's fundamental approach to growth
stock investing.
As a growth fund, we look for companies with a history of strong earnings
and future growth potential. We are disciplined and don't want to overpay
for earnings that might not be delivered. The turbulent economic
environment around the world puts corporate earnings at risk. Companies
have been lowering their guidance for earnings, and as a result there have
been some dramatic devaluations of individual stocks and sectors. We have
used this near-term fear and uncertainty to our advantage, taking the
opportunity to buy when our favored stocks were "on sale."
Q: How do you decide when to sell a stock?
A: Our "selling discipline" is a key factor in the success of our management
style. As a rule, we seek to avoid selling highly appreciated securities
that would result in capital gains. Generally, if the market price of a
purchased stock in the Portfolio has underperformed by 10% or more from our
tax cost, we will consider selling the stock and taking a loss. This is a
good investment practice to preserve capital.
Selling an underperforming stock gives us a better perspective from which
to reevaluate both our original investment case and the company's current
fundamentals. Often, with emotion-driven volatility, we've had
opportunities to buy back a stock at a lower price than where we sold it.
We generally want to own stocks for a minimum of five years, so we can
easily sit out of an investment for 30 days. Our selling discipline helps
keep the Portfolio in the right investments at the right prices and adds to
the tax efficiency of our results.
3
Belair Capital Fund LLC as of December 31, 1998
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Q: What about a selling discipline for your "winners"?
A: As I said, we try not to sell highly appreciated securities that would
result in capital gains. That said, if an individual stock grows to become
too large a portion of the Portfolio, or if there has been a deterioration
in the company's fundamentals, I will generally try to lower the exposure
of the Portfolio to that stock. We make every effort to ensure any gains
taken are from the most favorable tax lots. This is to minimize any annual
distributions to our shareholders.
Q: Earlier you referred to the Portfolio being more diversified than some of
its competitors. Would you elaborate?
A: Certainly. There are other funds that focus more on specific sectors and
have higher concentrations in individual stocks. However, we don't
radically overweight or underweight any particular sector, and our top
holdings have been less concentrated versus other funds. We view
diversification as a partial shock absorber. Equity investors must take
some market risk in order to participate in the higher returns equities can
offer, but my mantra for this Portfolio is "No unnecessary risks."We
attempt to minimize our stock-specific and sector-specific risks.
Another factor distinguishes this Portfolio from passively managed index
funds and other "momentum"-style funds. A passive fund "automatically" buys
securities based on market capitalizations, without regard to fundamentals
or prices. Our active management style allows us to try to take advantage
of market volatility, rather than become a victim of it.
Q: What can you tell us about one of the Portfolio's top holdings, Automatic
Data Processing, Inc.?
A: This is a great example of a growth stock. We believe that over the long
haul, stock prices follow earnings. ADP has one of the best track records
for double-digit earnings growth, and we believe that the earnings stream
will continue to grow. As a long-term investor, that's exactly what we're
looking for. In addition, as a tax-conscious investor, we love this company
because we can use a buy-and-hold forever strategy. As long as the
company's growth continues, we will remain as investors. While the stock
has done well, at less than 2% of the Portfolio, I'm not yet worried about
too much stock-specific risk in Automatic Data, especially since its
fundamentals have remained on track.
Q: What do you see happening in the year ahead?
A: Historically high valuations and the dominance of many passive and
short-term investors in the market should ensure continued volatility. We
continue to anticipate a levelling off of equity market returns to the
historic average of 10% per year. It's important to remember that stock
prices will reflect the earnings power of individual companies, and
evaluating these earnings, not predicting markets, is our main focus.
We expect that downside earnings surprises will continue to play a role
through 1999, especially in certain industries as companies spend an
increasing amount to fix the Year 2000 computer problem. There are a number
of other potentially negative influences on corporate earnings that will
require constant monitoring by our research staff. Overall, we will aim to
keep the Portfolio's volatility low through its diversified structure and
our buy and sell disciplines.

Belair Capital Fund LLC as of December 31, 1998
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Belair Capital Fund LLC (Belair Capital) is organized as a Massachusetts
limited liability company to offer diversification and tax-sensitive
investment management to persons holding large and concentrated positions in
equity securities of selected publicly-traded companies. The investment
objective of Belair Capital is to achieve long-term, after-tax returns for
Shareholders. Belair Capital pursues this objective primarily by investing
indirectly in Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio), a diversified,
open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. The Portfolio is organized as a trust under the laws
of the state of New York. Belair Capital maintains its investment in the
Portfolio by investing in Belvedere Capital Fund Company LLC (Belvedere
Capital), a separate Massachusetts limited liability company that invests
exclusively in the Portfolio. The performance of Belair Capital and Belvedere
Capital are directly and substantially affected by the performance of the
Portfolio. Separate from its investment in the Portfolio through Belvedere
Capital, the Fund invests indirectly in income-producing, preferred equity
interests in real estate operating partnerships (partnership preference units)
affiliated with publicly-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs). Belair
Capital's investment in partnership preference units is achieved through its
investment in Belair Real Estate Corporation (BREC). BREC is a Delaware
corporation that has been organized and intends to operate in such a manner as
to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. At December
31, 1998, BREC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Belair Capital and BREC (collectively, the Fund). All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. For informational purposes,
the Portfolio's audited schedule of investments as well as an unaudited
summary of its operations are included with these consolidated financial
statements (see Note 8).
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements.
A Investment Security Costs -- The Fund's investment assets were principally
acquired on February 6, 1998, April 20, 1998 and June 25, 1998 through
contributions of common stock by Shareholders in exchange for Shares of the
Fund and in private purchases of partnership preference units, copper and
aluminum. The Fund immediately exchanged the contributed securities into
Belvedere Capital for shares thereof, and Belvedere Capital, in turn,
immediately thereafter exchanged the contributed securities into the Portfolio
for an interest in the Portfolio. The cost at which the Fund's investments are
carried on the books and in the financial statements is the value of the
contributed securities as of the close of business on the day prior to their
contribution to the Fund and, in the case of purchased securities, the
acquisition price thereof. The initial tax basis of the Fund's investment in
the Portfolio through Belvedere Capital is the same as the contributing
Shareholders' basis in securities and cash contributed to the Fund. The
initial tax basis of securities purchased by the Fund is the purchase cost. As
of December 31, 1998 the aggregate tax basis of the Fund's investments was
$615,960,955.
B Investment Valuations -- The Fund's investments consist of partnership
preference units and shares of Belvedere Capital. Belvedere Capital's
exclusive investment is an interest in the Portfolio, the value of which is
derived from a proportional interest therein. Additionally, the Fund has
entered into interest rate swap contracts (see Note 7). The valuation policy
that follows is applicable to the assets of the Fund, Belvedere Capital and
the Portfolio. Marketable securities, including options, that are listed on
foreign or U.S. securities exchanges or in the NASDAQ National Market System
are valued at closing sale prices, on the exchange where such securities are
principally traded. Futures positions on securities or currencies are
generally valued at closing settlement prices. Unlisted or listed securities
for which closing sale prices are not available are valued at the mean between
the latest bid and asked prices. Short-term debt securities with a remaining
maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
value. Other fixed income and debt securities, including listed securities and
securities for which price quotations are available, will normally be valued
on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Investments held by
the Portfolio for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable are
valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the
direction of the Trustees. Investments held by the Fund for which valuations
or market quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value using methods
determined in good faith by the Investment Adviser. Interest rate swap
contracts are valued by obtaining dealer or counterparty quotes.

Belair Capital Fund LLC as of December 31, 1998
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
C Income -- Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Belvedere Capital's net investment
income or loss consists of Belvedere Capital's pro-rata share of the net
investment income of the Portfolio, less all actual or accrued expenses of
Belvedere Capital, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Fund's net investment income or loss consists of the Fund's
pro-rata share of the net investment income of Belvedere Capital, plus all
income earned on the Fund's direct investments, less all actual and accrued
expenses of the Fund determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
D Income Taxes -- Belair Capital, Belvedere Capital and the Portfolio are
treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a result, Belair
Capital, Belvedere Capital and the Portfolio do not incur federal income tax
liability, and the shareholders and partners thereof are individually
responsible for taxes on items of partnership income, gain, loss, and
deduction. BREC expects to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended. BREC will generally not be subject to federal income tax
to the extent that it distributes its earnings to its shareholders and
maintains its qualification as a REIT.
E Deferred Organization Expenses -- Costs incurred by Belair Capital in
connection with its organization are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over five years. Costs incurred in connection with the organization of BREC
are expensed as incurred.
F Interest Rate Swaps -- The Fund has entered into interest rate swap
agreements with respect to its borrowings and investments in fixed-rate
partnership preference units. Pursuant to these agreements, the Fund makes
quarterly payments to the counterparty at predetermined fixed rates, in
exchange for floating-rate payments from the counterparty at a predetermined
spread to three-month LIBOR, based on notional values approximately equal to
the Fund's acquisition cost for the fixed-rate partnership preference units.
During the terms of the outstanding swap agreements, changes in the underlying
values of the swaps are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Fund is
exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap
counterparty. However, the Fund does not anticipate non-performance by the
counterparty.
G Written Options -- The Portfolio and the Fund may write listed and
over-the-counter call options on individual securities, on baskets of
securities and on stock market indices. Upon the writing of a call option, an
amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolio or Fund is included in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the
liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the
option written in accordance with the investment valuation policies 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. The Portfolio or Fund as a
writer of an option may have no control over whether the underlying securities
may be sold and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in
the price of the securities underlying the written option.
H Purchased Options -- Upon the purchase of a put option, the premium paid by
the Portfolio or Fund 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 investment valuation policies discussed above. If an
option which the Portfolio or Fund has purchased expires on the stipulated
expiration date, the Portfolio or Fund will realize a loss in the amount of
the cost of the option. If the Portfolio or Fund enters into a closing sale
transaction, the Portfolio or Fund 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 or Fund 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.
I Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
J Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

2 Distributions to Shareholders
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund Belair Capital intends to make annual income distributions
approximately equal to the amount of its net investment income, if any, and
annual capital gains distributions equal to approximately 22% of the amount of
its net realized capital gains, if any, other than precontribution gains
allocated to a shareholder in connection with a tender offer or other
extraordinary corporate event with respect to a security contributed by such
shareholder, for which no capital gain distribution will be made. In addition,
whenever a distribution in respect of a precontribution gain is made, the Fund
intends to make a supplemental distribution to compensate shareholders
receiving such distributions for taxes that may be due in connection with the
precontribution gain and supplemental distributions.

5 Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund and the Portfolio have engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as investment
adviser. Under the terms of the advisory agreement with the Portfolio, BMR
receives a monthly fee of 5/96 of 1% (0.625% annually) of the average daily
net assets of the Portfolio up to $500,000,000 and at reduced rates as daily
net assets exceed that level. For the period from the Fund's start of
business, February 6, 1998, to December 31, 1998 the advisory fee applicable
to the Portfolio was 0.478% of average net assets for such period. Belvedere
Capital's allocated portion of the advisory fee amounted to $11,018,954, of
which $5,878,535 was allocated to the Fund, for the period from the start of

10
Belair Capital Fund LLC as of December 31, 1998
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D
(including the value of all assets of Belair Capital other than Belair
Capital's investment in BREC, minus the sum of Belair Capital's liabilities
other than the principal amount of money borrowed) and BREC pays BMR a monthly
management fee at a rate of 1/20th of 1% (equivalent to 0.60% annually) of its
average gross investment assets (including the value of all assets of BREC,
minus the sum of BREC's liabilities other than any liability with respect to
Belair Capital's Credit Facility). The advisory fee payable by the Portfolio
in respect of the Fund's indirect investment in the Portfolio is credited
toward the Fund's advisory and administrative fee payment. For the period from
the start of business, February 6, 1998, to December 31, 1998 the advisory and
administrative fee payable to BMR by the Fund, less the Fund's allocated share
of the Portfolio's advisory fee, totaled $3,925,054.
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as manager of the Fund and receives no
separate compensation for services provided in such capacity.
Pursuant to a servicing agreement between Belvedere Capital and Eaton Vance
Distributors, Inc. (EVD), Belvedere Capital pays a servicing fee to EVD for
providing certain services and information to shareholders. The servicing fee
is paid on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 0.15% of Belvedere Capital's
average daily net assets and totaled $3,540,070 for the period from the Fund's
start of business, February 6, 1998, to December 31, 1998, of which $1,954,668
was allocated to Belair Capital. Pursuant to a servicing agreement between
Belair Capital and EVD, Belair Capital pays a servicing fee to EVD on a
quarterly basis at an annual rate of 0.20% of Belair Capital's average daily
net assets, less the Belair Capital's allocated share of the servicing fee
payable by Belvedere Capital. For the period from the start of business,
February 6, 1998, to December 31, 1998 the servicing fee paid directly by
Belair Capital totaled $550,623. For shares sold through a subagent, EVD
intends to assign servicing responsibilities and fees to the applicable
subagent beginning twelve months after the issuance of Fund shares to such
persons.
6 Credit Facility
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund has obtained a $600,000,000 Credit Facility with a term of seven
years from Merrill Lynch International Bank Limited. The Fund's obligations
under the Credit Facility are secured by a pledge of its assets. Interest on
borrowed funds is based on the prevailing LIBOR rate for the respective
interest period plus a spread of 0.45% per annum. The Fund may borrow for
interest periods of one month to five years. In addition, the Fund pays a
commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the unused amount of the loan
commitment. Initial borrowings have been used to purchase qualifying assets
(partnership preference units, copper and aluminum) to pay selling commissions
and organizational expenses, and to provide for the short-term liquidity needs
of the Fund. Additional borrowings under the Credit Facility may be made in
the future for these purposes. At December 31, 1998, amounts outstanding under
the Credit Facility totaled $583,000,000.
7 Interest Rate Swap Agreements
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements with Merrill Lynch
Capital Services, Inc., with respect to each of its holdings of partnership
preference units and the associated borrowings. Under such agreements, the
Fund has agreed to pay a fixed rate of interest in exchange for a floating
rate of interest. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments may
not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The
measurement of the risks associated with these investments is meaningful only
when considered in conjunction with all related assets, liabilities and
agreements. The Fund has the right to terminate the interest rate swap
agreements beginning in the first half of 2003, at dates corresponding
approximately to the initial call dates of the partnership preference units
held by the Fund.
