  $ 1,490,481,833  

The percentage shown for each investment category in the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments is based on net assets.

 

  (1) 

Inverse floating-rate security whose coupon varies inversely with changes in the interest rate index. The stated interest rate represents the coupon rate in effect at October 31, 2018.

 

  (2) 

Variable rate security. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at October 31, 2018.

 

  (3) 

Interest only security that entitles the holder to receive only interest payments on the underlying mortgages. Principal amount shown is the notional amount of the underlying mortgages on which coupon interest is calculated.

 

  (4) 

Principal only security that entitles the holder to receive only principal payments on the underlying mortgages.

 

  (5) 

Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be sold in certain transactions in reliance on an exemption from registration (normally to qualified institutional buyers). At October 31, 2018, the aggregate value of these securities is $281,929,782 or 18.9% of the Portfolio’s net assets.

 

  (6) 

Weighted average fixed-rate coupon that changes/updates monthly. Rate shown is the rate at October 31, 2018.

  (7) 

Adjustable rate mortgage security whose interest rate generally adjusts monthly based on a weighted average of interest rates on the underlying mortgages. The coupon rate may not reflect the applicable index value as interest rates on the underlying mortgages may adjust on various dates and at various intervals and may be subject to lifetime ceilings and lifetime floors and lookback periods. Rate shown is the coupon rate at October 31, 2018.

 

  (8) 

Interest only security that entitles the holder to receive only a portion of the interest payments on the underlying loans. Principal amount shown is the notional amount of the underlying loans on which coupon interest is calculated.

 

  (9) 

Senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will typically have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”). Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or minimum rate.

 

(10) 

This Senior Loan will settle after October 31, 2018, at which time the interest rate will be determined.

 

(11) 

Loan is subject to scheduled mandatory prepayments. Maturity date shown reflects the final maturity date.

 

(12) 

Amount is less than 0.05% or (0.05)%, as applicable.

 

(13) 

Security exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside the United States. Security may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. At October 31, 2018, the aggregate value of these securities is $149,667,331 or 10.0% of the Portfolio’s net assets.

 

(14) 

Inflation-linked security whose principal is adjusted for inflation based on changes in a designated inflation index or inflation rate for the applicable country. Interest is calculated based on the inflation-adjusted principal.

 

(15) 

Inflation-linked security whose principal is adjusted for inflation based on changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index. Interest is calculated based on the inflation-adjusted principal.

 

(16) 

Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged to cover collateral requirements on open derivative contracts.

 

(17) 

Non-income producing security.

 

(18) 

For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, security is categorized as Level 3 (see Note 9).

 

(19) 

Restricted security (see Note 5).

 

(20) 

Security is subject to risk of loss depending on the occurrence, frequency and severity of the loss events that are covered by underlying reinsurance contracts and that may occur during a specified risk period.

 

(21) 

Affiliated investment company, available to Eaton Vance portfolios and funds, which invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of October 31, 2018.

1  Significant Accounting Policies

Global Opportunities 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 total return. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At October 31, 2018, Eaton Vance Short Duration Strategic Income Fund and Eaton Vance International (Cayman Islands) Short Duration Strategic Income Fund held an interest of 93.0% and 7.0%, respectively, in the Portfolio.

The Portfolio seeks to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in Eaton Vance GOP Commodity Subsidiary, Ltd. (the Subsidiary), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Portfolio organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands with the same objective and investment policies and restrictions as the Portfolio. The net assets of the Subsidiary at October 31, 2018 were $16,570,799 or 1.1% of the Portfolio’s consolidated net assets. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Portfolio is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

A  Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.

Debt Obligations. Debt obligations are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term debt obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Senior Floating-Rate Loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service.

Equity Securities. Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices.

Derivatives. U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices at valuation time as reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority. Non U.S. exchange-traded options and 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 closing 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. Forward volatility agreements are valued by a third party pricing service using techniques that consider factors including the volatility of the underlying instrument and the period of time until expiration. Swaps and options on 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, and in the case of credit default swaps, based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. Future cash flows on swaps are discounted to their present value using swap rates provided by electronic data services or by broker/dealers. Alternatively, swaptions may be valued at the valuation provided by a broker/dealer (usually the counterparty to the option), so determined using similar techniques as those employed by the pricing service.

Foreign Securities and Currencies. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Portfolio’s Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities.

Affiliated Fund. The Portfolio may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.

Fair Valuation. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Portfolio in a manner that 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 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.

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. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately. Inflation adjustments to the principal amount of inflation-adjusted bonds and notes are reflected as interest income. Deflation adjustments to the principal amount of an inflation-adjusted bond or note are reflected as reductions to interest income to the extent of interest income previously recorded on such bond or note. 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 interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Distributions from investment companies are recorded as dividend income, capital gains or return of capital based on the nature of the distribution.

D  Federal and Other 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. If one of the Portfolio’s investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least annually among its investors, each investor’s distributive share of the Portfolio’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and losses and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.

In addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, the Portfolio may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, the Portfolio estimates the accrual for such taxes, if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are included in the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains taxes on securities sold are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments.

The Subsidiary is treated as a controlled foreign corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and is not expected to be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Portfolio is treated as a U.S. shareholder of the Subsidiary. As a result, the Portfolio is required to include in gross income for U.S. federal tax purposes all of the Subsidiary’s income, whether or not such income is distributed by the Subsidiary. If a net loss is realized by the Subsidiary, such loss is not generally available to offset the income earned by the Portfolio.

As of October 31, 2018, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.

E  Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

F  Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Portfolio may enter into certain loan agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Portfolio is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments, if any, are disclosed in the accompanying Consolidated Portfolio of Investments.

G  Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 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.

 

  32  


Global Opportunities Portfolio

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 — 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 contract amount (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, index or currency, 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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed. 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 Consolidated 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. When an index option is exercised, the Portfolio is required to deliver an amount of cash determined by the excess of the exercise price of the option over the value of the index (in the case of a put) or the excess of the value of the index over the exercise price of the option (in the case of a call) at contract termination. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the 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 Consolidated 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. As the purchaser of an index option, the Portfolio has the right to receive a cash payment equal to any depreciation in the value of the index below the exercise price of the option (in the case of a put) or equal to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price of the option (in the case of a call) as of the valuation date of the option. If an option which the Portfolio had 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 on a security, 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 on a security, 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. Purchased options traded over-the-counter involve risk that the issuer or counterparty will fail to perform its contractual obligations.

M  Interest Rate Swaps — Swap contracts are privately negotiated agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty. Certain swap contracts may be centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”), whereby all payments made or received by the Portfolio pursuant to the contract are with a central clearing party (CCP) rather than the original counterparty. The CCP guarantees the performance of the original parties to the contract. Upon entering into centrally cleared swaps, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the CCP, either in cash or securities, an amount of initial margin determined by the CCP, which is subject to adjustment.

Pursuant to interest rate swap agreements, the Portfolio either makes floating-rate payments to the counterparty (or CCP in the case of centrally cleared swaps) based on a benchmark interest rate in exchange for fixed-rate payments or the Portfolio makes fixed-rate payments to the counterparty (or CCP in the case of a centrally cleared swap) in exchange for payments on a floating benchmark interest rate. Payments received or made, including amortization of upfront payments/receipts, 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. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the CCP daily. The value of the swap is determined by changes in the relationship between two rates of interest. The Portfolio is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty. In the case of centrally cleared swaps, counterparty risk is minimal due to protections provided by the CCP. Risk may also arise from movements in interest rates.

N  Inflation Swaps — Pursuant to inflation swap agreements, the Portfolio either makes floating-rate payments based on a benchmark index in exchange for fixed-rate payments or the Portfolio makes fixed-rate payments in exchange for floating-rate payments based on the return of a benchmark index. By

design, the benchmark index is an inflation index, such as the Consumer Price Index. 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 between the rate of interest and the benchmark index. 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 or the index.

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 (or CCP in the case of a centrally cleared swap) 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 proceeds 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 may create economic 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. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the CCP daily. All upfront payments and receipts, if any, are amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. Those upfront payments or receipts for non-centrally cleared swaps are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, net of amortization. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments or receipts, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts to determine the market value of swaps as presented in Notes 6 and 9. 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. In the case of centrally cleared swaps, counterparty risk is minimal due to protections provided by the CCP.

Q  Swaptions — A purchased swaption contract grants the Portfolio, in return for payment of the purchase price, the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, at some designated future time on specified terms. When the Portfolio purchases a swaption, the premium paid to the writer is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the swaption. A written swaption gives the Portfolio the obligation, if exercised by the purchaser, to enter into a swap contract according to the terms of the underlying agreement. When the Portfolio writes a swaption, the premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the swaption. When a swaption is exercised, the cost of the swap is adjusted by the amount of the premium paid or received. When a swaption expires or an unexercised swaption is closed, a gain or loss is recognized in the amount of the premium paid or received, plus the cost to close. The Portfolio’s risk for purchased swaptions is limited to the premium paid. The writer of a swaption bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset terms of the underlying swap contract. Purchased swaptions traded over-the-counter involve risk that the issuer or counterparty will fail to perform its contractual obligations.

R  Forward Volatility Agreements — Forward volatility agreements are transactions in which two parties agree to the purchase or sale of a swaption straddle (i.e., a receiver swaption and a payer swaption with the same expiration date) on an underlying floating-rate versus a fixed rate reference entity. The fixed rate shall equal the prevailing at-the-money forward rate of the benchmark swap at determination date. Changes in the value of the agreement are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The primary risk associated with forward volatility agreements is the change in the volatility of the underlying reference entity.

S  When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Portfolio 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 Portfolio maintains cash and/or 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.

T  Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities — The Portfolio may invest in Interest Only (IO) and Principal Only (PO) securities, a form of stripped mortgage-backed securities, whereby the IO security receives all the interest and the PO security receives all the principal on a pool of mortgage assets. The yield to maturity on an IO security is extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and a rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the yield to maturity from these securities. If the underlying mortgages experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Portfolio may fail to recoup its initial investment in an IO security. The market value of IO and PO securities can be unusually volatile due to changes in interest rates.

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 and the Subsidiary. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between the Portfolio and BMR and the investment advisory agreement between the Subsidiary and BMR, the Portfolio and Subsidiary each pay BMR a fee at an annual rate of 0.615% of its respective average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.595% from $500 million but less than $1 billion, 0.575% from $1 billion but less than $1.5 billion, 0.555% from $1.5 billion but less than $2 billion and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $2 billion or more, and is payable monthly. In determining the investment adviser fee for the Portfolio and Subsidiary, the applicable advisory fee rate is based on the average daily net assets of the Portfolio (inclusive of its interest in the Subsidiary). Such fee rate is then assessed separately on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets (exclusive of its interest in the Subsidiary) and the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets to determine the amount of the investment adviser fee. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee amounted to $9,447,466 or 0.593% of the Portfolio’s consolidated average daily net assets. The Portfolio invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.

Trustees and officers of the Portfolio who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended October 31, 2018, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.

3  Purchases and Sales of Investments

6  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 and swaptions, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, forward volatility agreements 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. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2018 is included in the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments. At October 31, 2018, the Portfolio had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the Portfolio is subject to the following risks:

Credit Risk: The Portfolio enters into credit default swaps and swaptions to manage certain investment risks and/or to enhance total return or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities.

Equity Price Risk: The Portfolio enters into equity index options and futures contracts to enhance total return and/or to manage certain investment risks.

Foreign Exchange Risk: The Portfolio engages in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, currency options and cross-currency swaps to enhance total return, to seek to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities or currencies.

Interest Rate Risk: The Portfolio utilizes various interest rate derivatives including interest rate futures contracts, interest rate swaps and swaptions, inflation swaps, cross-currency swaps, options contracts and forward volatility agreements to enhance total return, to seek to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates and/or to change the effective duration of its portfolio.

The Portfolio enters into over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives 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 October 31, 2018, the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $13,876,621. The aggregate fair value of assets pledged as collateral by the Portfolio for such liability was $2,070,308 at October 31, 2018.

The OTC derivatives in which the Portfolio invests (except for written options and swaptions as the Portfolio, not the counterparty, is obligated to perform) are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. To mitigate this risk, the Portfolio (and Subsidiary) has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with substantially all its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Portfolio and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event as defined under the relevant ISDA Master Agreement. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Portfolio (and Subsidiary) may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Portfolio’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Portfolio fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the counterparty to accelerate payment by the Portfolio of any net liability owed to it.

The collateral requirements for derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a Credit Support Annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under an ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a minimum transfer threshold amount before a transfer is required, which may vary by counterparty. Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Portfolio (and Subsidiary) and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Portfolio’s custodian and cannot be sold, re-pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. The portion of such collateral representing cash, if any, is reflected as deposits for derivatives collateral and, in the case of cash pledged by a counterparty for the benefit of the Portfolio, a corresponding liability on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged by the Portfolio as collateral, if any, are identified as such in the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments. The carrying amount of the liability for cash collateral due to brokers at October 31, 2018 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, such liability would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 9) at October 31, 2018. Because the Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, it may not be able to negotiate terms with its counterparties that are equivalent to those a registered portfolio may negotiate. As a result, the Subsidiary may have greater exposure to those counterparties than a registered portfolio.

The fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) by risk exposure at October 31, 2018 was as follows:

The average notional amount for forward foreign currency exchange contracts is based on the absolute value of notional amounts of currency purchased and currency sold.

The average principal amount of purchased currency options contracts and written currency options contracts and average number of purchased index options contracts and written index options contracts outstanding during the year ended October 31, 2018, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately $222,886,000, $31,705,000, 5,522 and 13 contracts, respectively.

7  Line of Credit

The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $625 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 29, 2019. Borrowings are made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Portfolio based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Portfolio, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended October 31, 2018.

8  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 issuers, 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.

9  Fair Value Measurements

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Trustees and Investors of Global Opportunities Portfolio:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Global Opportunities Portfolio and subsidiary (the “Portfolio”), including the consolidated portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2018, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of October 31, 2018, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and senior loans owned as of October 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and selling or agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
