At Sentinel, we look at companies with very specific attributes: strong cash
flow, experienced management, quality products and dependable customers. This
approach worked well in 2006 where we kept a high exposure to the energy,
materials and industrials sectors.

Christian Thwaites President and Chief Executive Officer

     The Chinese describe the Year of the Dog as eccentric. 2006 lived up to its
reputation. The year opened with a bang, with all the leading indexes sharply
up, followed quickly by a whimper in early spring and ending with a sharp rally
in the summer that extended to the year-end.

     In the opening months, we saw strong oil prices, declining housing starts,
increased interest rates and deteriorating economic indicators. The three-year
bull market seemed played out. However, this was but a prelude to the real drama
of the second half of the year. From January to November, the Standard & Poor's
500 Composite Stock price Index rose over 14%, the Russell 2000 Index - which
measures smaller capitalization stocks -was up over 16% and the MSCI EAFE Index
of international stocks, over 20%. Some of the reasons for these gains remind us
of the "the dog that did not bark" explanation from Conan Doyle. Oil did not
soar to $100 a barrel, the economy did not slow precipitously despite a
precarious housing market, interest rates did not rise despite repeated
solecisms from the Fed Chairman and American consumers did not relent from
buying at rates higher than a year ago. As investors took comfort in these
non-events and corporate profits continued to expand at over 15%, confidence
grew.

     The debt market was particularly resilient in 2006. In the U.S., short-term
government borrowing cost around 5.36% at the end of November, whereas 30-year
debt cost a mere 4.50%. We have had inverted yield curves, often heralding
recession. This time, something else was afoot. Top-notch corporate borrowers
needed only pay from 40 basis points to 70 basis points more than the U.S.
government, while high-risk companies and countries (think Gazprom and Peru)
paid only an additional 60 to 70 basis points. This was due to pension funds
willing to pay up for liability-matching assets, and to credit derivatives,
which allow investors to parcel up bonds into numerous components. The result:
excess liquidity, capital availability and low defaults. This, in turn, has
built up investor confidence, higher corporate profits and equity prices.

     Overall, it has been a good year for stocks and especially for the stocks
we like to buy. For the sixth successive year, "value" stocks have outperformed
"growth" stocks; the Russell 1000 Value Index and the Russell 1000 Growth Index
rose by 20.3% and 8.36%, respectively, in the 12 months ending November 30,
2006. The growth/value distinction has dubious practical value. It is a backward
definition: yesterday's growth stocks can rapidly become today's value stocks
based on a narrow range of historic financial data. At Sentinel, we look at
companies with very specific attributes: strong cash flow, experienced
management, quality products and dependable customers. This approach worked well
in 2006, when we kept a high exposure to the energy, materials and industrials
sectors. We liked companies that sell in overseas markets, produce late-cycle
products and enjoy recurring revenue. When we ventured into healthcare and
information technology, it was always with more cash-generative and dependable
companies. This common sense, low-flying strategy worked.

     At Sentinel, we take a prosaic approach to investing. When markets run
indiscriminately, as in early 2006, we are content to review our holdings.
However, when markets buckle and quality rises to the fore, we are often at our
most confident. We show this in statistics such as upside/downside capture,
beta, alpha, Sharpe ratios and the standard deviation of our funds. In practical
terms, we mitigate the inherent risk of investing by preserving capital where we
can, keeping turnover and expenses low and consistently applying a grounded
investment process. To paraphrase the proverb, at Sentinel the journey is more
interesting than the destination.

     In an industry where manager turnover and corporate reshuffling have been
endemic, we have quietly built out our resources. We completed the acquisition
of Bramwell Capital in 2006. Today, Elizabeth Bramwell and her team manage the
Sentinel Capital Growth and Growth Leaders Funds to the same tenets and
disciplines she has nurtured over 35 years. We also welcomed Kate Schapiro to
manage the Sentinel International Equity Fund. This fund adheres to the same
process we built at Sentinel and we look forward to continued success in this
important asset class. Our government securities funds continue to thrive in
David Brownlee's experienced hands. In this highly competitive and efficient
sector, David and his team have produced another year of strong returns.

     We continue to believe that intellectual capital is the preeminent
competitive advantage in investment management. We welcomed new members to our
Common Stock and Small Company Funds, under the leadership of Dan Manion and
Charles Schwartz, and new leadership to our Mid Cap Growth Fund, with Paul
Kandel. We continue to build our company for future generations of customers,
shareholders and employees.

     Looking ahead to 2007, we see three trouble spots. First, some emerging
markets look dangerously overvalued and could cast a wide net in the event of a
break. Recent but not isolated

2




examples are Thailand and Venezuela in recent weeks. Second, Private Equity
investors have amassed sizeable and leveraged funds to stalk bid candidates.
These funds can lend price support in the short term as they offer record prices
for buyout candidates. However, they can also destabilize markets as high
indebtedness, lack of access to secondary sources of capital and the timing of
the "liquidity event" can lead to great uncertainty. Third, housing markets in
nearly every major economy look overstretched, with little relief in sight.
However, there are many attractions looking into 2007. Exchange rates are
managing through a process of readjustment without the currency runs that were a
pattern of much of the 1990s; interest rates are mostly low in real terms and,
above all, corporate profits continue to show strong double-digit growth in a
period of stable inflation. Whilst the market may have priced much of this in
the recent rally, it is a strong platform with which to enter the New Year. We
believe that Sentinel shareholders should benefit from our continued adherence
to an investment discipline that sees beyond the now and focuses on long-term
results.

     Thank you for your continued investment in Sentinel Funds.

Understanding your Sentinel Funds Financial Statements

(1) Schedule of Investment in Securities

This schedule shows you which investments your fund owned on the last day of the
reporting period. The schedule includes:

     .    a list of each investment

     .    the number of shares/par amount of each stock, bond or short-term note

     .    the market value of each investment

     .    the percentage of investments in each industry

     .    the percent and dollar breakdown of each category

(2) Statement of Assets and Liabilities

This statement details what the fund owns (assets), what it owes (liabilities),
and its net assets as of the last day of the period. If you subtract what the
fund owes from what it owns, you get the fund's net assets. For each class of
shares, the net assets divided by the total number of shares outstanding gives
you the price of an individual share, or the net asset value per share.

     Net Assets are also broken down by capital (money invested by
shareholders); net investment income not yet paid to shareholders or net
investment losses, if any; net gains earned on investments but not yet paid to
shareholders or net losses on investments (known as realized gains or losses);
and finally gains or losses on securities still owned by the fund (known as
unrealized appreciation or depreciation). This breakdown tells you the value of
net assets that are performance-related, such as investment gains or losses, and
the value of net assets that are not related to performance, such as shareholder
investments and redemptions.

(3) Statement of Operations

This statement breaks down how each fund's net assets changed during the period
as a result of the fund's operations. It tells you how much money the fund made
or lost after taking into account income, fees and expenses, and investment
gains or losses. It does not include shareholder transactions and distributions.
Fund Operations include:

     .    income earned from investments

     .    management fees and other expenses

     .    gains or losses from selling investments (known as realized gains or
          losses)

     .    gains or losses on current fund holdings (known as unrealized
          appreciation or depreciation)

(4) Statement of Changes in Net Assets

These statements show how each fund's net assets changed over the past two
reporting periods. It details how much a fund grew or shrank as a result of:

     .    operations - a summary of the Statement of Operations for the most
          recent period

     .    distributions - income and gains distributed to shareholders

     .    capital share transactions - shareholders' purchases, reinvestments,
          and redemptions

Net assets at the beginning of the period plus the sum of operations,
distributions to shareholders and capital share transactions result in net
assets at the end of the period.

(5) Financial Highlights

These statements itemize current period activity and statistics and provide
comparison data for the last five fiscal years (or less if the fund or class is
not five years old). On a per-share basis, it includes:

     .    share price at the beginning of the period

     .    investment income and capital gains or losses

     .    income and capital gains distributions paid to shareholders

     .    share price at the end of the period

It also includes some key statistics for the period:

     .    total return - the overall percentage return of the fund, assuming
          reinvestment of all distributions

     .    expense ratio - operating expenses as a percentage of average net
          assets

     .    net income ratio - net investment income as a percentage of average
          net assets

     .    portfolio turnover - the percentage of the portfolio that was replaced
          during the period.

                                                                               5

Actual and Hypothetical Expenses for Comparison Purposes

Example
As a shareholder of one or more of the Sentinel Funds, you incur two types of
costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase
payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including
management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses.
The example for each share class is intended to help you understand your ongoing
costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the
ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

     Each example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning
of the period and held for the entire period from 06/01/06 through 11/30/06.

Actual Expenses
The first line of each share class in the table beginning on the next page
provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may
use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to
estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account
value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6),
then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading
entitled "Expenses Paid from 06/01/06 through 11/30/06" to estimate the expenses
you paid on your account during this period.

.    Certain Account Fees and Minimum Account Size

     Certain participant accounts are subject to the following recurring annual
     fees that are not included in the expenses shown in the table. If your
     account was subject to these fees, then the actual account values at the
     end of the period and the actual expenses for the period will be higher.
     Due to the expense of maintaining accounts with small balances, we reserve
     the right to charge an annual maintenance fee of up to $25 to any account
     that has a current value less than $1,000 and that has been open for at
     least 24 months. This fee will be deducted automatically from each
     participant account in June of each year unless it is prepaid.

.    Miscellaneous Recurring Fees

Retirement Custodial Accounts
   Annual Custodial Fee per Social Security Number                        $15.00
   Closeout Fee per Account                                               $15.00
   Transfer of Assets per Transaction                                     $25.00
Service Fees
   Express Mail Deliveries                                                $15.00
   Federal Funds Wire                                                     $20.00
   Bounced check-writing checks                                           $25.00
   Bounced check received for deposit                                     $25.00

.    Recurring Fees for Services for Employee Benefit Plans

     The Sentinel Destinations platform offers participant record keeping
services to employer-sponsored retirement plans such as 401(k), pension or
profit sharing plans. Plans using the Sentinel Destinations platform will be
subject to additional fees for the services provided. Contact your financial
advisor or Sentinel Administrative Services, Inc. for more information regarding
Sentinel Destinations.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each share class in the table beginning on the next page
provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses
based on the actual expense ratio of the share class and an assumed rate of
return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the
share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to
estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a
specific Sentinel Fund share class to other funds. To do so, compare this 5%
hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the
shareholder reports of the other funds. As with actual account values and
expenses, the hypothetical account values and expenses shown in the table do not
reflect any of the recurring fees outlined above. If your account is subject to
such fees, then the hypothetical account values at the end of the period shown
and the hypothetical expenses paid for the period should be increased before
comparing these amounts to the corresponding amounts for other funds.

     Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight
your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as
sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the
table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine
the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these
transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

                                                                               7

Sentinel Balanced Fund seeks a combination of growth of capital and current
income with relatively low risk and relatively low fluctuations in value, by
investing in high quality common stocks and investment grade bonds.

"We believe a high quality equity portfolio and a sizeable commitment to
fixed-income securities should generate an attractive income stream and reduce
overall portfolio risk for the Sentinel Balanced Fund."

     The Sentinel Balanced Fund produced a total return of 11.64% for the fiscal
year ending November 30, 2006. The Fund's return lagged the 14.22% return for
the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index over this time period, but
exceeded the 5.94% return for the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index by a substantial
margin. This performance compares favorably to the 11.26% total return for the
Morningstar Moderate Allocation Category, with the Fund ranking in the 38th
percentile within its peer group of 1,033 funds.

     After successfully protecting shareholders' capital in the difficult stock
market environment of 2000-2003, the Fund has produced strong gains during the
subsequent broad-based stock market rebound. Relative to peer funds over the
past 3- and 5-year time frames, the Fund ranks in the 36th and 29th percentiles,
respectively, versus the Morningstar Moderate Allocation Fund category of 805
and 618 funds, respectively, and the Fund's 10-year ranking is placed solidly in
the 48th percentile among 326 funds.

     The Fund began the fiscal year with a mix of 64% stocks, 34% bonds, and 2%
cash and cash equivalents in the portfolio. The Fund's asset allocation as of
November 30, 2006 was 66% stocks, 33% bonds, and 1% cash and cash equivalents.
This modest shift reflects the outper-formance of equities versus fixed-income
securities, rather than an asset allocation decision. The Fund's equity holdings
represent a well-diversified portfolio of high quality, cash generating
companies. We have been sellers on strength of Energy throughout the fiscal
year, although we remained overweight in the sector versus the S&P index, and
invested the proceeds in stocks and sectors with higher secular growth rates,
including Health Care, as we expected earnings growth to once again warrant a
premium valuation. We also continued to be positive on the outlook for the
Industrial sector and own numerous stocks poised to benefit from global
industrial infrastructure expansion.

     During the fiscal year, the bond market provided investors with modest
returns, with most of the positive performance coming in the last few months of
the period. The Federal Reserve Board suspended its string of 17 consecutive
interest rate increases in August and adopted a wait-and-see approach, but still
cited inflation as a bigger risk to the U.S. economy than slower economic
growth. Interest rates remained volatile during the period, but finished
virtually unchanged. The U.S. Treasury yield curve inverted over the fiscal
year, with short-maturity securities trading at higher yields than long-maturity
bonds. Many investors believe that an inverted yield curve is a precursor to an
economic recession. As such, many bond investors favored longer duration bonds,
at lower yields, than their short-duration counterparts, which provided higher
yields. Given this inversion, longer-maturity bonds generally outperformed those
of shorter duration during the period.

     We expect to continue to focus on the stocks of larger-capitalization,
high quality companies, and we see a compelling risk/reward proposition in
large-cap multinational companies with solid growth prospects, discretionary
cash flows, financial strength and reasonable valuations. We believe a high
quality equity portfolio and a sizeable commitment to fixed-income securities
should generate an attractive income stream and reduce overall portfolio risk
for the Sentinel Balanced Fund.

     We greatly appreciate your continuing support.

Sentinel Capital Growth Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and, secondarily,
current income. The Fund normally invests primarily in a broad range of common
stocks of companies believed to have above-average growth potential. The Fund
uses a blended "top-down" and "bottom-up" approach, focusing on both
macroeconomic and company-specific factors.

"Our focus is on companies that are positioned to benefit from the long-term
payoff on research, plant and market expansion."

Elizabeth R. Bramwell, CFA

     The Sentinel Capital Growth Fund gained 8.12% in the fiscal year ending
November 30, 2006.This compares to 8.37% for the Russell 1000 Growth Index,
14.22% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, which has more
of a value stock mix, and 6.94% for the Morningstar Large Growth Category.

     The fiscal year was characterized by solid economic growth, especially
internationally, and solid employment expansion. Interest rates rose in the
first half before leveling, and inflation was moderate.

     Sectors that did well in the first half of the fiscal year were
Industrials, Energy, Financials and Materials. Stocks that contributed the
greatest gains for the Fund were Peabody Energy, Caterpillar, Schlumberger, J.C.
Penney and BlackRock. Health Care detracted from Fund gains.

     Sectors that contributed strongly in the second half of the fiscal year
were Consumer Discretionary, Materials, Financials and Health Care. Stocks that
contributed the greatest gains for the Fund were J.C. Penney, ExxonMobil,
Praxair, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Coach. Industrials detracted from Fund
performance.

     Sectors that did well for the Fund over the full fiscal year were
Financials, Materials, Industrials, Energy and Consumer Discretionary. Stocks
that contributed the greatest gains were J.C. Penney, ExxonMobil, Chicago
Mercantile Exchange, Gilead and Schlumberger. Consumer Staples detracted from
Fund gains.

     The Fund is a diversified portfolio of 60-90 stocks. Investments are made
in companies with strong fundamentals within a macroeconomic framework. Our
focus is on companies that are positioned to benefit from the long-term payoff
on research, plant and market expansion.

     Going forward, the investment climate appears favorable. We expect the
domestic economy to grow 1-2% in the next six months, in a lagged response to
earlier increases in interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve Board,
before reaccelerating in the second half of 2007. Any inflationary pressures
should moderate in a slowing economy. We look for international growth, however,
to exceed 3%. U.S. companies with foreign operations should benefit from higher
international growth. We have positioned the Fund's portfolio accordingly.

     We believe that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to raise the Fed Funds rate
beyond 5.25%, given the slowdown in the housing market and the overall
deceleration in economic growth.

     Mitigating a slower economy in the United States is the increased number of
persons working. The domestic number of persons employed has increased some 1.8
million in the last twelve months. Globally, employment continues to rise,
especially in emerging markets. An expanding middle class in countries around
the world should drive long-term, expanding demand for new and better consumer
goods.

     Capital spending on non-residential construction, mining and energy is
expected to be a driving force for economic growth, both domestically and
globally. In the United States, capital spending has increased broadly for
productivity-enhancing equipment and alternative fuels. Public spending on
roads, hospitals and schools is strong. Globally, as emerging markets evolve,
the demand for capital spending on roads, bridges, electrification, clean water,
sanitation and telecommunications is expected to increase for years to come.

     While housing slows in the United States, it is likely to expand in many
foreign markets. Where infrastructure is being built, the demand for basic
materials is expected to be especially strong.

     We continue to believe that engineering and infrastructurerelated companies
should benefit from multi-year increased demand. Composite materials with
enhanced features such as lightness and strength, and products and services
providing and driving energy efficiency, should also do well. Financial
services, brand name consumer goods and healthcare should all benefit from
rising standards of living.

     We continue to believe that earnings growth is the key longterm metric for
stock market performance. Valuations of growth and value stocks have
increasingly converged and, in November, growth stocks outperformed value
stocks. Valuations appear attractive, with the Fund's portfolio selling at a
2007 estimated P/E ratio of 16 times for estimated 14% earnings growth.
Historically, a P/E ratio-to-growth of 1.0 has been a favorable metric for
future market performance. Also, substantial liquidity exists in the global
capital markets, and private equity funds with substantial liquid assets are
offering to buy specific public companies at meaningful premiums to current
market prices. This activity should be positive for overall valuations.

     We appreciate your investment in the Sentinel Capital Growth Fund as part
of your long-term investment strategy.

Note that Fund performance reflects all expenses and management fees, but no
contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) because none would apply if the shares
had been held for the entire period. Performance shown for the indices does not
include a CDSC, fees or expenses; performance shown for the Average Annual Total
Return at Net Asset Value in the accompanying table reflects expenses and
management fees but no CDSC.

Performance prior to March 17, 2006 is based on the Fund's predecessor, the
Bramwell Growth Fund, which was offered without a sales load. Performance has
been restated to reflect the sales load and adjusted for higher estimated
expenses.

Sentinel Capital Opportunity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing in "growth" stocks of large-capitalization companies that are listed
on U.S. exchanges or in the over-the-counter market.

"The Fund is a diver-sified portfolio that seeks long-term capital appreciation
by investing in companies with above-average growth prospects."

Elizabeth R. Bramwell, CFA

     The Sentinel Capital Opportunity Fund gained 7.01% in the fiscal year
ending November 30, 2006.This compares to 14.22% for the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index, which has more of a value stock mix, 8.37% for the
Russell 1000 Growth Index, and 6.94% for the Morningstar Large Growth Category.

     The fiscal year was characterized by solid economic growth, especially
internationally, and solid employment expansion. Interest rates rose in the
first half before leveling, and inflation was moderate.

     Sectors that did well in the first half of the fiscal year were Energy,
Industrials and Materials. Stocks that contributed the greatest gains for the
Fund were Schlumberger, Boeing, United Technologies, Baker Hughes and Cisco.
Information technology, health care and consumer stocks were the greatest
detractors from Fund performance.

     Sectors that contributed strongly in the second half of the fiscal year
were Information Technology, Materials, Financials, Consumer Discretionary and
Health Care. Stocks that contributed the greatest gains for the Fund were Cisco,
Apple Computer, Allegheny Technologies, Goldman Sachs and Microsoft. The energy
sector detracted from Fund performance.

     Sectors that did well for the Fund over the full fiscal year were
Materials, Industrials, Financials, Energy and Consumer Discretionary. Stocks
that contributed the greatest gains were Cisco, Apple Computer, Schlumberger,
Boeing and Allegheny Technologies. The overall Information Technology sector
detracted from Fund returns.

     The Fund is a diversified portfolio that seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in companies with above-average growth prospects.

     Going forward, the investment climate appears favorable. We expect the
domestic economy to grow 1-2% in the next six months, in a lagged response to
earlier increases in interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve Board,
before reaccelerating in the second half of 2007. Any inflationary pressures
should moderate in a slowing economy. We look for international growth, however,
to exceed 3%. U.S. companies with foreign operations should benefit from higher
international growth. We have positioned the Fund's portfolio accordingly.

     We believe that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to raise the Fed Funds rate
beyond 5.25%, given the slowdown in the housing market and the overall
deceleration in economic growth.

     Mitigating a slower economy in the United States is the increased number of
persons working. The domestic number of persons employed has increased some 1.8
million in the last 12 months. Globally, employment continues to rise,
especially in emerging markets. An expanding middle class in countries around
the world should drive long-term, expanding demand for new and better consumer
goods.

     Capital spending on non-residential construction, mining and energy is
expected to be a driving force for economic growth, both domestically and
globally. In the United States, capital spending has increased broadly for
productivity-enhancing equipment and alternative fuels. Public spending on
roads, hospitals and schools is strong. Globally, as emerging markets evolve,
the demand for capital spending on roads, bridges, electrification, clean water,
sanitation and telecommunications is expected to increase for years to come.

     While housing slows in the United States, it is likely to expand in many
foreign markets. Where infrastructure is being built, the demand for basic
materials is expected to be especially strong.

     We continue to believe that engineering and infrastructure-related
companies should benefit from multi-year increased demand. Composite materials
with enhanced features such as lightness and strength, and products and services
providing and driving energy efficiency, should also do well. Financial
services, brand name consumer goods and healthcare should all benefit from
rising standards of living.

     We continue to believe that earnings growth is the key long-term metric for
stock market performance. Valuations of growth and value stocks have
increasingly converged and, in November, growth stocks outperformed value
stocks. Valuations appear attractive, with the Fund's portfolio selling at a
2007 estimated P/E ratio of 16 times for estimated 14% earnings growth.
Historically, a P/E ratio-to-growth of 1.0 has been a favorable metric for
future market performance. Also, substantial liquidity exists in the global
capital markets, and private equity funds with substantial liquid assets are
offering to buy specific public companies at meaningful premiums to current
market prices. This activity should be positive for overall valuations.

     We appreciate your investment in the Sentinel Capital Opportunity Fund as
part of your long-term investment strategy.

Sentinel Capital Opportunity Fund Performance Notes:

Graph ending values are based upon an initial investment of $10,000; graph and
total return data assume reinvestment of all distributions. Data shown
represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results;
current performance may be higher or lower than that shown. Investment return
and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell
shares. Consider a fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully
before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Please
read the prospectus carefully before you invest. Visit www.sentinelfunds.com for
the most current month-end performance information.

On December 7, 2006, the Board of Directors met and approved proposals under
which the Capital Opportunity Fund would reorganize into the Capital Growth
Fund. The Board has called a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March
16, 2007, at which time the shareholders of the Capital Opportunity Fund will
vote on the proposal. Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on
January 2, 2007, the record date for the Special Meeting, will be entitled to
vote at the meeting. The Fund will mail proxy materials to shareholders of
record, which will discuss the proposal in detail. These proxy materials are
expected to begin mailing in late January 2007.

If approved by shareholders, the Capital Opportunity Fund will close to new
accounts and investments (other than reinvested dividends) shortly before the
reorganization is consummated, which, if approved, is expected to occur in late
March 2007.

Note that Fund performance reflects the maximum 5% sales charge and includes
expenses and management fees, while index performances do not; performance shown
for the Average Annual Total Return at Net Asset Value in the accompanying table
reflects expenses and management fees but no sales charge. Performance prior to
September 26, 2005 is based on the Fund's predecessor, the Sentinel Growth Index
Fund, which was offered with a maximum 2.5% sales load and sought to match
before expenses the performance of the S&P 500/BARRA Growth Index, restated to
reflect the current maximum sales load. It does not reflect the increase in
maximum 12b-1 fees. If it did, returns would be lower.

contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) because none would apply if the shares
had been held for the entire period. Performance shown for the indices does not
include a CDSC, fees or expenses; performance shown for the Average Annual Total
Return at Net Asset Value in the accompanying table reflects expenses and
management fees but no sales charge. Performance prior to September 26, 2005 is
based on the Fund's predecessor, the Sentinel Growth Index Fund which sought to
match before expenses the performance of the S&P 500/BARRA Growth Index. It does
not reflect the increase in maximum 12b-1 fees. If it did, returns would be
lower.

Sentinel Common Stock Fund seeks a combination of growth of capital, current
income, growth of income, and relatively low risk as compared with the stock
market as a whole, by investing mainly in a diverse group of common stocks of
well-established companies.

"Strong stock selection across the portfolio this past fiscal year resulted in
the Fund's performance advantage over its market benchmark."

Daniel J. Manion, CFA

     The Sentinel Common Stock Fund returned 15.18% for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 2006. This compares favorably to the total return of the Fund's
benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, which returned
14.22% for the same time period.

     The Fund is a diversified portfolio of high-quality companies with strong
fundamentals and reasonable valuations. Strong stock selection across the
portfolio this past fiscal year resulted in the Fund's performance advantage
over its market benchmark. Over the course of the fiscal year, the
best-performing sectors in the stock market (as measured by the S&P 500 Index)
were Telecom Services and Energy, where the Fund was well represented. The
weakest sectors during the past year were Technology, and Health Care, where the
Fund had an above-average exposure versus the index.

     We plan to continue to focus on large-capitalization stocks, and
multinational companies in particular, as we expect U.S. economic growth to slow
relative to recent levels as we enter 2007, but we anticipate higher rates of
growth in international economies. We expect an upturn in the level of corporate
capital spending, with much of this directed at international growth
opportunities. We anticipate continuing to be positive in the outlook for the
Industrial sector, and, at the end of the period, the Fund owned numerous stocks
poised to benefit from global industrial infrastructure expansion. The capital
spending theme is also expected to be present in our Energy sector positioning,
which we believe will emphasize companies within the oilfield equipment and
services segment, particularly those with exposure to internationally-directed
activity. We expect to see better relative performance from the Health Care
sector, given the non-cyclical growth drivers and strong demographics supporting
demand for the products of our healthcare holdings, such as medical device
manufacturers.

     Although the equity markets have seen a strong advance over the last
several months, we remain positive on the general outlook for the stock market
and are optimistic about finding attractive opportunities for total returns and
modest levels of risk in high-quality, large-cap stocks. The Fund owned, in
aggregate, shares of companies that were growing earnings at attractive rates,
generating free cash flow, repurchasing their shares and increasing dividend
payments to shareholders. It is these types of companies where we plan to invest
the bulk of the Sentinel Common Stock Fund's assets.

     Thank you for your continued support.

     The Sentinel Conservative Allocation Fund returned 9.31% for the fiscal
year ending November 30, 2006. The Fund's performance exceeded the 5.94% return
for the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index by a substantial margin but lagged the
11.58% return for the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High-Yield Index. Its
performance compared favorably to the 8.66% return for the Morningstar
Conservative Allocation Category.

     Effective August 14, 2006, Sentinel Asset Management, Inc. commenced
internal management of the Fund, ending a sub-advisory relationship that had
been in existence since the Fund's inception. Sentinel has considerable in-house
expertise and experience managing funds in the asset classes that represent the
key components of the Fund's holdings: domestic and international equities,
investment grade and high yield fixed income securities, and short-term
instruments. Additionally, as of November 1, 2006, a change in the Fund's
prospectus took effect, increasing its maximum equity allocation to 50% from
35%.

     The Fund's asset allocation as of November 30, 2006 was 37% equities
(including international equities and Exchange Traded Funds); 43% government
bonds, 15% corporate bonds (including high yield bonds), and 5% cash. Since
mid-August of this fiscal year, the Fund has meaningfully increased its equity
exposure, while using foreign currency-denominated debt holdings and
lower-quality credits within the corporate bond component of the Fund as a
source of funds. Sector weightings in the Fund's equity allocation also changed,
as we moved to increase overall portfolio diversification.

     The Fund's equity holdings are mostly comprised of high quality,
cash-generating companies. Dividend income is an important consideration, and
the Fund tends to own companies that have a history of above-average rates of
dividend growth. The bulk of our equity holdings are large-cap multinational
companies with solid growth prospects, strong discretionary cash flows,
financial strength and reasonable valuations.

     We continued to see a compelling risk/reward proposition in
larger-capitalization stocks in general, which have lagged mid-and small-cap
stocks by a wide margin over much of the past five years.

     During the fiscal year, the bond market provided investors with modest
returns, with most of the positive performance coming in the last few months of
the period. The Federal Reserve Board suspended its string of 17 consecutive
interest-rate increases in August and adopted a wait-and-see approach, but still
cited inflation as a bigger risk to the U.S. economy than slower economic
growth. Interest rates remained volatile during the 12- month period, but
finished virtually unchanged. The U.S. Treasury yield curve inverted over the
fiscal year, with short-maturity securities trading at higher yields than
long-maturity bonds.

     The Fund continued to emphasize yield in this relatively low interest-rate
environment, and we plan to continue to maintain high exposure to
mortgage-backed securities. A sizeable commitment to very high grade
fixed-income securities should generate an attractive income stream, and could
mitigate overall return volatility in the corporate high yield bond and equity
asset classes, potentially reducing overall portfolio risk for the Sentinel
Conservative Allocation Fund.

     We appreciate your support.

Sentinel Government Securities Fund seeks high current income while seeking to
control risk by investing mainly in U.S. government bonds including direct
obligations of the U.S. Treasury, the U.S. government, its agencies and
instrumentalities.

"During the fiscal year, the bond market provided investors with modest returns,
with most of the positive performance coming in the last few months of the
period."

David M. Brownlee, CFA

     For the fiscal year ending November 30, 2006, the Sentinel Government
Securities Fund returned 5.41%. By comparison, the Lehman Brothers Government
Bond Index returned 5.16%. The Fund's peer group, the Morningstar Intermediate
Government Category, returned 4.85%.

     During the fiscal year, the bond market provided investors with modest
returns, with most of the positive performance coming in the last few months of
the period. The Federal Reserve Board suspended its string of 17 consecutive
interest rate increases in August, and adopted a wait-and-see approach, but
still cited inflation as a bigger risk to the U.S. economy than slower economic
growth. Interest rates remained volatile during the period, but finished
virtually unchanged. The U.S. Treasury 10-year Note fell 3 basis points, from
4.48% to 4.45%, while the U.S. Treasury 2-year Note - the U.S. Treasury security
most sensitive to changes by the Federal Reserve - rose 20 basis points, from
4.41% to 4.61%.

     The U.S. Treasury yield curve inverted over the fiscal year, with
short-maturity securities trading at higher yields than long-maturity bonds.
Many investors believe that an inverted yield curve is a precursor to an
economic recession. Accordingly, many bond investors favored longer-duration
bonds, at lower yields, than their short-duration counterparts, which possessed
higher yields. As measured by the 2-year U.S. Treasury note to 30-year U.S.
Treasury bond yield differential, the U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened from
+28 basis points on November 30, 2005, to -5 basis points on November 30, 2006.
Given this inversion, longer- maturity bonds generally outperformed those of
shorter duration.

     In terms of relative performance, within the U.S. government securities
sector of the fixed-income market, mortgage-backed securities (MBS) outperformed
their U.S. Treasury and Agency counterparts by a wide margin, as evidenced by
the 6.55% 12-month total return for the Lehman Brothers MBS Index versus the
5.16% return for the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index. Bond investors
viewed the MBS sector as very attractive, given its relatively high yield
increments over U.S. Treasury securities. Prepayments on mortgage-backed
securities remained very stable and relatively dormant over the 12-month period.

     As of November 30, 2006, the Sentinel Government Securities Fund's
effective duration stood at 2.85 years, down from 3.86 years at the close of the
previous fiscal year. Exposure to the MBS sector was 100% of assets, with
approximately 92% in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and 8% in
mortgage pass-through pools. The Fund emphasized yield in this relatively low,
yet volatile, interest-rate environment, and we intend to maintain high exposure
to the MBS sector. The Fund's active duration management and yield emphasis via
mortgage-backed securities allowed it to outperform its peer group for the
12-month period.

     In summary, it was a year in which bonds returned their initial starting
yield levels or their coupon. We are adamantly committed to the Fund's goals of
high current income while seeking to control risk through all market
environments, and we appreciate your continued support.

Sentinel Growth Leaders Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing
primarily in common stocks of 20 to 30 companies believed to have above-average
growth potential. The Fund is non-diversified and will hold fewer securities
than a diversified portfolio. The Fund may be more affected by the performance
of a particular stock, either positively or negatively, than a more broadly
diversified fund.

"Investments are made in companies with strong fundamentals within a
macroeconomic framework."

Elizabeth R. Bramwell, CFA

     The Sentinel Growth Leaders Fund gained 10.17% in the fiscal year ending
November 30, 2006.This compares to 8.37% for the Russell 1000 Growth Index,
14.22% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, which has more
of a value stock mix, and 6.94% for the Morningstar Large Growth Category.

     The fiscal year was characterized by solid economic growth, especially
internationally, and solid employment expansion. Interest rates rose in the
first half before leveling, and inflation was moderate.

     The most important sector to contribute to Fund gains in the first half of
the fiscal year was the Industrial sector. Stocks that contributed the greatest
gains were Jacobs Engineering, Commercial Metals, Ansys, Regal Beloit and
BlackRock. Health Care and consumer stocks detracted from Fund gains.

     Sectors that contributed strongly in the second half were Materials and
Financials. Stocks that contributed the greatest gains to Fund performance were
Allegheny Technologies, Cisco, Goldman Sachs, CB Richard Ellis and Phelps Dodge.
Industrials detracted from performance.

     Sectors that did well for the Fund over the full fiscal year were
Materials, Financials, Industrials and Information Technology. Stocks that
contributed the greatest gains were Allegheny Technologies, Commercial Metals,
Cisco, Jacobs Engineering and Goldman Sachs. Consumer Staples detracted from
Fund gains.

     The Fund is a non-diversified portfolio of 20-30 stocks. Investments are
made in companies with strong fundamentals within a macroeconomic framework.
Because of its concentration, the Fund should be regarded as a more aggressive
portfolio than Sentinel Capital Growth Fund, in that the price movements of a
single stock may have a greater positive or negative effect on overall
performance.

     Going forward, the investment climate appears favorable. We expect the
domestic economy to grow 1-2% in the next six months, in a lagged response to
earlier increases in interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve, before
reaccelerating in the second half of 2007. Any inflationary pressures should
moderate in a slowing economy. We look for international growth, however, to
exceed 3%. U.S. companies with foreign operations should benefit from higher
international growth. We have positioned the Fund's portfolio accordingly.

     We believe that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to raise the Fed Funds rate
beyond 5.25%, given the slowdown in the housing market and the overall
deceleration in economic growth.

     Mitigating a slower economy in the United States is the increased number of
persons working. The domestic number of persons employed has increased some 1.8
million in the last 12 months. Globally, employment continues to rise,
especially in emerging markets. An expanding middle class in countries around
the world should drive long-term, expanding demand for new and better consumer
goods.

     Capital spending on non-residential construction, mining and energy is
expected to be a driving force for economic growth, both domestically and
globally. In the United States, capital spending has increased broadly for
productivity-enhancing equipment and alternative fuels. Public spending on
roads, hospitals and schools is strong. Globally, as emerging markets evolve,
the demand for capital spending on roads, bridges, electrification, clean water,
sanitation and telecommunications is expected to increase for years to come.

     While housing slows in the United States, housing is likely to expand in
many foreign markets. Where infrastructure is being built, the demand for basic
materials is expected to be especially strong.

     We continue to believe that engineering and infrastructure-related
companies should benefit from multi-year increased demand. Composite materials
with enhanced features such as lightness and strength, and products and services
providing and driving energy efficiency, should also do well. Financial
services, brand name consumer goods and healthcare should all benefit from
rising standards of living.

     We continue to believe that earnings growth is the key long-term metric for
stock market performance. Valuations of growth and value stocks have
increasingly converged and, in November, growth stocks outperformed value
stocks. Valuations appear attractive, with the Fund's portfolio selling at a
2007 estimated P/E ratio of 17 times for estimated 16% earnings growth.
Historically, a P/E ratio-to-growth of 1.0 has been a favorable metric for
future market performance. Also, substantial liquidity exists in the global
capital markets, and private equity funds with substantial liquid assets are
offering to buy specific public companies at meaningful premiums to current
market prices. This activity should be positive for overall valuations.

     We appreciate your investment in the Sentinel Growth Leaders Fund as part
of your long-term investment strategy.

shown for the Average Annual Total Return at Net Asset Value in the accompanying
table reflects expenses and management fees but no sales charge.

Bramwell Focus Fund, which was offered without a sales load, restated to reflect
the sales load. Performance does not reflect the increase in the maximum Rule

Sentinel High Yield Bond Fund seeks high current income and total return by
investing mainly in lower rated corporate bonds that have higher effective
interest rates than investment grade bonds.

"While the Fund achieved a healthy absolute return, its underperformance versus
the indices and its peer group was mostly attributed to the more cautious
approach the Fund has taken versus its peers."

 Daniel E. Gass, Jr., CFA

     For the fiscal year ending November 30, 2006, the Sentinel High Yield Bond
Fund's total return was 8.50%. By comparison, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate
High-Yield Index returned 11.58%, the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II
Constrained Index returned 10.59%, and the Morningstar High Yield Bond Category
returned 9.96%.

     While the Fund achieved a healthy absolute return, its underperformance
versus the indices and its peer group was mostly attributed to the more cautious
approach the Fund has taken versus its peers. We owned few high-risk, distressed
bonds (defined as bonds with spreads greater than 1,000 basis points over
comparable U.S. Treasuries). The Merrill Lynch US High Yield Distressed Index
returned 36.7% during the fiscal year, indicating that high-risk debt was amply
rewarded this year. On the other hand, the Merrill Lynch US High Yield, BB
Rated, Constrained Index (the best quality section of the high yield market)
returned 8.20%, more in line with our total return number of 8.50%. A very low
default rate and ample liquidity for risky assets provided the backdrop for this
divergence in relative performance.

     The Fund had solid returns from the Consumer Product, Entertainment,
Restaurant and Metals/Mining sectors, while the Cable and Auto sectors posted
weaker results. Cable company Charter Communications (a CCC credit) and
automakers Ford and GM (both now CCC credits) enjoyed very strong performance,
and while the Fund had exposure to these names, our timing of purchases and
underweights versus its Lehman and Merrill Lynch benchmarks hurt relative
performance. Our 5.4% average exposure to common stocks in the portfolio (all
stocks of high yield credits, with the exception of Bristol Myers) helped the
Fund's performance, as they collectively returned over 15% for the fiscal year.

     Going forward, we expect to continue to seek out common stocks of
better-quality names in the high yield sector, especially those producing stock
dividends, which can be found in the master limited partnership structures of
many smaller energy companies. We plan to continue with our strategy of biasing
the Fund's portfolio toward a better quality mix of companies, with a duration
slightly shorter than its Merrill Lynch benchmark. While defaults have been at
all-time lows and high yield participants continue to reach for riskier and
riskier assets, we plan to stay the course, based on our belief that over time,
better companies return higher risk-adjusted returns.

Sentinel International Equity Fund seeks growth of capital by investing in
common stocks of established non-U.S. companies selected mainly for their growth
prospects, or in U.S. companies that conduct their business mainly outside of
the United States.

"Changes made to the Fund early in the fiscal year helped position it to benefit
from several key market trends."

Katherine Schapiro, CFA

     Following on the heels of double-digit returns in 2005, major foreign stock
markets continued to climb in 2006. For the fiscal year ending November 30,
2006, the Sentinel International Equity Fund returned 26.04%. By comparison, the
Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia and Far East (MSCI EAFE)
Index rose 28.20%, and the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend Category increased
27.17%.

     Changes made to the Fund early in the fiscal year helped position it to
benefit from several key market trends. These trends included robust expansions
in several emerging markets including China, India, Russia and Brazil.
Recognizing the high risk associated with direct investments in emerging
markets, we took a more conservative stance toward stocks in these regions.
Nevertheless, the Fund was a beneficiary of strong stock price appreciation in
China Life Insurance Co, China Mobile Ltd. and Brazil-based Cia Vale Rio Doce.
We believed other countries in the Asian region, including Japan, would be
primary beneficiaries of China's powerful expansion through increased
intra-regional trade, a strong capital investment cycle and a burgeoning
domestic consumer market. Therefore, we increased exposure to smaller markets
such as Hong Kong and Singapore, and maintained the equal weight investment in
Japan, relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. Unfortunately, Japan's market proved a
major laggard after topping the list in 2005, with the Nikkei 225 Index rising
just 13.2% in U.S. dollars. In particular, Japanese consumer-related stocks in
the portfolio failed to respond positively to improving employment trends in the
country, and early signs the domestic economy would begin to experience modest
inflationary pressures after a decade of falling prices.

     In Europe, we increased investments in German stocks based on expectations
of strong corporate earnings growth from strengthened balance sheets, and the
possibility of structural reforms in the country with the advent of new
government leadership. New holdings included RWE, the second-largest German
power utility, and Fresenius Ag, a medium-sized health care conglomerate with
strengths in kidney dialysis, nutritional products and hospital management.
German stocks were among the best-performing of the larger, developed markets,
up nearly 36% in dollar terms as measured by MSCI. European stocks generally
posted strong returns in the year, both in local currencies and in U.S. dollar
terms, buoyed by stronger-than-expected economic growth and booming mergers and
acquisition activity. Over the 12-month period, the Euro currency rose about 12%
and the British pound climbed 13% versus the U.S. dollar, helping to boost
returns to U.S-based shareholders of European securities.

     With respect to sectors, we increased the Fund's exposure to industrial
stocks, beneficiaries of the global boom in infrastructure spending, as well as
utilities and energy holdings, given expectations of continued strong energy
prices over the course of the coming year. Utilities and Industrials sectors, as
measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, ranked among the best-performing sectors,
rising 50% and 31.6%, respectively. The Energy sector posted only a 17% gain as
oil prices increased dramatically in the first part of the year, but corrected
back to the $60 per barrel level by fiscal year end.

     Looking forward, we think the uncertainty surrounding the pace of slowdown
in the U.S. economy will have an impact on investors' attitudes toward global
growth prospects. However, a surprise slowdown in China's rapid growth rate
could have more serious implications for its trading partners, and therefore
bears close watching.

Note to shareholders: The past fiscal year marked a change for the Sentinel
International Equity Fund. On December 15, 2005, Sentinel Asset Management, Inc.
ended the Fund's subadvisory investment management arrangement with Evergreeen
Investments, and hired an in-house investment team, headed by Katherine
Schapiro. Over the next two months, with agreement from the Fund's Board of
Directors, our team repositioned the holdings of the Fund to better match the
characteristics of Morningstar's Foreign Large Blend category, adding more
growth-oriented stocks to its previous value-oriented portfolio, which had been
measured against Morningstar's Foreign Large Value Category. We believed this
move was in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders, who desired exposure
to stock markets outside of the United States while maintaining a moderate risk
profile, and was consistent with the Fund's objective for long-term capital
appreciation. Morningstar recognized the changes in portfolio management and
holdings as significant, and re-categorized the Fund in the more relevant
Foreign Large Blend Category as of November 30, 2006.

                                                                              45

Sentinel Mid Cap Growth Fund seeks growth of capital by focusing on common
stocks of mid-sized growing companies with experienced and capable managements.

"The Fund has been constructed as a well-diversified portfolio of high quality
companies we believe have strong fundamentals and reasonable valuations."

Paul Kandel

     The Sentinel Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 7.21% for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 2006 and lagged the 14.22% return for the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index, the 12.88% return for the Russell Midcap Growth
Index and the 10.09% return of the Morningstar Mid Cap Growth Category.

     The fiscal year ending November 30, 2006 was a strong year for the Russell
index. Each of the 10 major Russell sectors posted positive returns, with the
strongest returns achieved in the Materials, Telecommunications and Utility
sectors, while the weakest returns were in the Health Care and Consumer
Discretionary sectors. Driven by record M&A activity ($3.3 trillion of M&A deals
were announced in 2006, according to Thompson Financial Company), the fiscal
year ending November 30, 2006 turned out to be a stronger year than had been
forecasted for equities and mid-cap stocks. The year started slowly, as concerns
over an economic slowdown and rising commodity prices caused the mid-cap market
to fall during the first half of the year. However, the Russell Index bottomed
in July, as energy prices eased, and then proceeded to rally 17% off the bottom.

     During the fiscal year, the worst-performing segments of the Sentinel Mid
Cap Growth Fund were Information Technology, which was negatively impacted by
earnings disappointments from Websense, Navteq and Jabil Circuits, and Health
Care, where our winners could not offset disappointments at Teva
Pharmaceuticals, Resmed and United Surgical Partners. The Fund's best-performing
segments were Energy, whose returns were aided by our exposure to Baker Hughes,
Nobel Energy and Valero Energy, and Financial Services, which benefited from
exposure to companies such as NASDAQ, Moody's and OptionsExpress.

     We expect several themes to play out in 2007. First, we suspect that the
trend in M&A activity will continue into and throughout 2007, due to a
combination of corporate balance sheets flush with cash and a growing pool of
private equity/LBO funds seeking to deploy capital. Second, we believe the
multi-year outperformance by small-cap stocks is coming to a close and that the
stock market could migrate up the market-cap spectrum to those larger companies
that tend to have greater international exposure. In fact, this trend has
already been in place since the end of June. Along the same lines, after many
years of value outperforming growth, we think that pendulum will shift back and
growth should outperform value in 2007. This trend has also been in place since
July. Additionally, we believe the Federal Reserve Board will be in a tricky
position as it tries to stimulate growth while avoiding inflationary pressures.
To this end, we expect the Federal Reserve to reverse course in 2007 and begin
to cut interest rates. Finally, we also believe that the growth will be greater
overseas than in the United States.

     We believe that mid-cap stocks in general could benefit from these trends
in 2007. In particular, Energy, Information Technology and Industrials should be
sector beneficiaries as they derive a majority of their revenues and earnings
from overseas. The themes and forecasts mentioned above could be further
exacerbated if the U.S. dollar continues to weaken versus the foreign
currencies. Though we do not consider the stock market to be particularly
undervalued at current levels, we plan to continue to attempt to find companies
that we believe to be leaders in their industry and can demonstrate strong
earnings growth and/or product cycles.

     The Fund has been constructed as a well-diversified portfolio of high
quality companies we believe have strong fundamentals and reasonable valuations.
We have reduced the number of positions in the portfolio to add to the
securities in which we have greater conviction. We expect to focus on
multinational companies, because we believe growth will be greater overseas than
in the United States.

     We thank you for your continued support.

Sentinel Short Maturity Government Fund seeks high current income and limited
fluctuations in principal value by investing mainly in U.S. government bonds
with average lives at the time of purchase of three years or less.

"The investment goal of the Fund is to provide a high level of current income
and limited fluctuations in principal value by investing in U.S. government
bonds, including its agencies and instrumentalities."

                             David M. Brownlee, CFA

     For the fiscal year ending November 30, 2006, the Sentinel Short Maturity
Government Fund returned 4.11%. By comparison, the Lehman 1-3 Year Government
Bond Index ("Lehman Index") returned 4.49% and its peer group, the Morningstar
Short Government Category, returned 4.22% during the same period.

     The investment goal of the Fund is to provide a high level of current
income and limited fluctuations in principal value by investing in U.S.
government bonds, including its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund
attempts to earn a competitive yield and rate of return between that of a money
market fund and an intermediate government bond fund. At least 80% of the Fund's
net assets are invested in U.S. government securities with average lives, at the
time of purchase, of 3 years or less. The investment style of the Fund has been
to have at least 95% of assets invested in all market environments, with a
primary focus on yield, as the price appreciation/depreciation of short-maturity
securities has been fairly limited over a 12-month investment horizon. In
addition, yield and total return are highly and positively correlated for
short-duration instruments over short-term investment horizons. The Fund's
target duration has been 2.0 years. Given its emphasis on yield, the Fund may
temporarily lag in performance relative to short-term U.S. Treasury securities
if short-term interest rates decline sharply.

     During the fiscal year, the bond market provided investors with modest
returns, with most of the positive performance coming in the last few months of
the period. The Federal Reserve Board increased the Federal Funds target rate
five times, in 25 basis-point increments, for a total of 125 basis points,
bringing the Federal Funds rate up to 5.25% from its initial 4.00%. However, the
Fed suspended its string of 17 consecutive interest rate increases in August,
and adopted a wait-and-see approach. The U.S. Treasury 2-year Note - the U.S.
Treasury security most sensitive to actions by the Fed - rose only 20 basis
points over the 12-month period, from 4.41% to 4.61% - much less than the 125
basis points of Federal Reserve tightening.

     As of November 30, 2006, the Sentinel Short Maturity Government Fund's
exposure to mortgage-backed securities stood at 88% of assets, with the
remaining 12% in U.S. Agency debentures. The effective duration of the Fund was
1.3 years. The Fund slightly underperformed the Lehman Index, which had no
expenses. The bond market in the fiscal year will be noted for its modest and
narrow distribution of returns.

     As always, we look forward to helping you achieve your investment goals and
objectives, and we thank you for your support.

increase in the Short Maturity Government Fund's maximum sales charge from 1% to
3%. Returns have not been adjusted to reflect the decrease in the maximum 12b-1
fee from 0.35% to 0.25%. If they had, those returns would be higher.

Sentinel Small Company Fund seeks growth of capital by investing mainly in
common stocks of small companies believed to have attractive growth potential
and valuations.

"In a volatile year for small-cap stocks, the Fund achieved a solid return for
our shareholders while maintaining its conservative risk profile."

     The Sentinel Small Company Fund returned 16.05% for the fiscal year ending
November 30, 2006. The Fund modestly lagged the Russell 2000 Index return of
17.43%, while comparing favorably to the Morningstar Small Growth Category
return of 10.58%.

     In a volatile year for small-cap stocks, the Fund achieved a solid return
for our shareholders while maintaining its relatively conservative risk profile.
By continuing to hold a well-balanced portfolio across the major economic
sectors, we had a more conservative weighting in Consumer Discretionary, Health
Care, and Information Technology than our Morningstar peer group. As these
sectors were clear market underperformers over the past year, this balanced
approach helped us outperform our Morningstar category while managing risk.

     For the fiscal year, our holdings in the Energy and Consumer Staples
sectors were outperformers versus the Russell 2000 Index. Within the Energy
sector, our overweight versus the index in Equipment and Services was beneficial
to returns as well as very strong stock performance in this industry group, led
by Core Laboratories, Tetra Technologies, and Superior Energy Services. In
Consumer Staples, our holdings in Chattam, Church & Dwight, and Casey's General
Stores were the main contributors to our outperformance in this sector. For the
year, our results in Financials and Consumer Discretionary lagged the Russell
2000 index. Our underweight versus the index and relatively weak performance in
the Real Estate group was a large component of the underperformance in the
Financial sector. Within the Consumer Discretionary sector, our Consumer
Services and Consumer Apparel holdings did not keep pace with the benchmark
holdings.

     We believe our focus on building a well-balanced portfolio of high-quality
small companies that have solid financial characteristics while maintaining a
critical eye on valuation should continue to deliver solid returns. A
disciplined execution of our conservative growth style has served our
shareholders well in the past and we are taking prudent measures toward aligning
the Fund for continued long-term success. As always, we appreciate your

(2) Significant Accounting Policies:

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require
management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the
financial statements. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

A. Security Valuation: Equity securities that are traded on a national or
foreign securities exchange and over-the-counter securities listed in the NASDAQ
National Market System are valued at the last reported sales price or official
closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded on the date of
determination as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE"), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, each day that the NYSE is open for
business. Foreign equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange are
subject to fair value pricing when deemed appropriate, using valuations provided
by an independent pricing service. Securities for which no sale was reported on
the valuation date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and
asked prices. Over-the-counter securities not listed on the NASDAQ National
Market System are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices.
Fixed-income securities are valued on the basis of valuations provided by an
independent pricing service. The mean between the bid and asked prices is used
for valuation purposes. Securities for which market quotations are not readily
available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring
before the Fund's pricing time but after the close of the securities' primary
markets, will be fair valued under procedures adopted by the Funds' board. The
board has delegated this responsibility to a pricing committee, subject to its
review and supervision. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are
valued at cost plus accrued interest earned, which approximates market value.
Money market securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value, in accordance with the terms of a rule adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The amortized cost method values a security at cost on the
date of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to maturity of
any discount or premium.

     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
FASB Statement No. 157 - Fair Value Measurements, that defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
Statement applies to fair value measurements that are already required or
permitted by other accounting standards and is intended to increase consistency
of those measurements. The Statement applies broadly to securities and other
types of assets and liabilities. FASB 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Fund management has
elected to adopt FASB 157 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. Adoption
of this rule would have had no significant impact on the Fund's financial
statements for this fiscal year.

B. Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income:

Securities transactions are accounted for on the next business day following
trade date (trade date plus one). Under certain circumstances, exceptions are
made so that purchases and sales are booked on trade date. These exceptions
include:

     (1)  when trades occur on a day that happens to coincide with the end of a
          quarterly financial reporting period; or

     (2)  on occasion, if Sentinel Administrative Services, Inc., the Funds'
          administrator, believes significant price movements are deemed large
          enough to impact the calculation of the net asset value per share.

84




     Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, which includes the
amortization of bond premiums on fixed-income securities. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date when verified by two independent sources and
adjusted daily for foreign tax withholding, reclaims and currency fluctuations,
when applicable. The cost of securities sold is determined, and realized gains
and losses are computed, using the identified cost method. Market discount and
original issue discount are accreted to income.

C. Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations,
which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments
for mortgage-backed securities, foreign currency transactions, and the
reclassification of net investment losses to paid-in-capital. Reclassifications
were made to reflect these differences as of November 30, 2006.

*    Name change. Formerly the Sentinel Capital Markets Income Fund prior to
     November 1, 2006.

D. Dollar Rolls: Sentinel Balanced, Sentinel Conservative Allocation, Sentinel
Government Securities and Sentinel Short Maturity Government Funds may enter
into dollar rolls in which the Funds sell securities for delivery in the current
month, and simultaneously contract to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and
maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the
Funds forego principal and interest paid on the securities. The Funds are
compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and
by the lower repurchase price at the future date. The difference between the
sale proceeds and the lower repurchase price is recorded as interest income.

E. Federal Income Taxes: Each Fund intends to continue to meet the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The
Company intends to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders,
relieving each Fund of any federal excise tax or income tax liability. In June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, that
requires the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax
positions must meet a "more likely than not" standard that based on their
technical merits, have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon
examination. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal periods
beginning after December 15, 2006. At adoption, the financial statements must be
adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not of
being sustained. Fund management is currently evaluating the impact that FASB
Interpretation No. 48 will have on the Fund's financial statements.

F. Foreign Currency Translations: The books and records of the Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S.
dollars at the mean between the buying and selling rates on the following basis:

     (1)  market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the
          closing daily rate of exchange; and

     (2)  purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at
          the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
          transactions.

     The Funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in
securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that due to
changes in market prices of such securities. However, pursuant to United States
federal income tax regulations, gains and losses from certain foreign currency
transactions are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

G. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: Sentinel Conservative Allocation and
Sentinel International Equity Funds may enter into forward foreign exchange
contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to
hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a foreign
currency. Forward contracts are valued at the forward rate and are
marked-to-market daily. The daily change in the market value is recorded as an
unrealized gain or loss. The Funds realize a gain or loss when the forward
contract is closed on delivery of the currency. Risks may arise with respect to
entering into forward contracts from potential inability of counterparties to
meet the terms of the forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the
value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. A Fund's risk of loss
from forward currency contracts may exceed the related amounts reflected on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

H. Repurchase Agreements: Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements as a
means of making short-term investments, of seven days or less, and in aggregate
amounts of not more than 25% of the net assets of a Fund, with the exception of
Sentinel Capital Opportunity Fund which may exceed 25% of the net assets. Each
Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of the securities collateralizing
repurchase agreements. All repurchase agreements entered into by the

                                                                              85




Funds provide that the market value of the collateral underlying the repurchase
agreement at the time of purchase, and each subsequent business day, will always
be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase agreement amount including accrued
interest, with the exception of Sentinel Capital Opportunity Fund which will be
equal to 100% of the repurchase agreement amount including accrued interest. If
the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy
proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security,
realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

I. Options: When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium
received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted
daily to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from
writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the
expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the
premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction is also
treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for
the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option written
by a Fund is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of
the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or
loss. If a put option written by a Fund is exercised, the premium reduces the
cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as writer of an
option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the
security underlying the written option.

     There were no option transactions during the period ended November 30,
2006.

J. Line of Credit: The Company has obtained access to an unsecured line of
credit of up to $30,000,000 from State Street Bank (SSB) for temporary borrowing
purposes. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at the current
overnight Federal Funds rate plus an additional 50 basis points. In addition, a
commitment fee of 0.10% of the unused balance is paid annually to the custodian
bank. The maximum amount of the line of credit was reduced to $20,000,000 in
December 2006.

     At November 30, 2006, none of the Funds had an outstanding balance against
this line of credit.

K. Securities Lending: Under an agreement with SSB, the Funds may lend their
securities, up to 50% of each Fund's portfolio before taking into account the
securities loan, to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial
institutions. Each loan is collateralized by cash in an amount equivalent to a
value of 102% (domestic) or 105% (foreign) of the market value of the loaned
securities. Any adjustments in collateral required to maintain those levels due
to market value fluctuations are made the next business day. The cash collateral
is invested in a registered money market fund advised by State Street Global
Advisors, a subsidiary of SSB. A portion of the income generated by the
investment of the collateral, net of any rebates paid by SSB to the borrowers,
is remitted to SSB as lending agent, and the remainder is paid to the Fund. The
Fund receives from the borrower all accrued dividend and interest amounts while
the securities are out on loan. The Fund retains certain ownership rights as to
the loaned securities when retaining such rights is considered to be in the
Fund's best interest. Generally, in the event of borrower default, the Fund has
the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event the
Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the
collateral, there may be a potential loss to the Fund. The Fund bears the risk
of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The income earned by
each Fund from securities lending is included in its Statement of Operations.

     At November 30, 2006 the following Funds had securities on loan:

                             Market Value
                                Loaned      Market Value

U.S. Treasury Money Market     18,473,798     18,845,414

L. Other: Direct expenses of a Fund are charged to that Fund while common
expenses of the Company are allocated proportionately based upon the Funds'
respective average net assets or number of shareholder accounts.

     Expenses not charged to a specific Class of each Fund are allocated on the
basis of daily net assets or number of shareholder accounts on a pro rata basis.
Class specific expenses such as 12b-1 distribution, blue sky registration,
certain transfer agency fees and NASDAQ listing fees are charged to the
appropriate class.

     Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are
allocated pro rata based on the value of shares outstanding for each Class
within a Fund.

     Earnings credits are received from the custodian and dividend paying agent
on cash balances and are reflected in the statement of operations as an expense
offset.

     The ratio of net investment income to average net assets for each Fund is
calculated utilizing the average shares method.

     Effective October 16, 2006, in compliance with the Securities and Exchange
Commission Rule 22c-2, the Funds have implemented redemption fees, to be
retained by the affected Funds, to recoup direct and indirect costs incurred as
a result of short-term trading strategies, such as market timing. All Fund share
classes of the Balanced, Capital Growth, Capital Opportunity, Common Stock,
Conservative Allocation, Government Securities, Growth Leaders, Mid Cap Growth
and Short Maturity Government Funds are subject to short-term trading fees of 1%
on shares held 15 days or less. All Fund share classes of the High Yield Bond,
International Equity and Small Company Funds are subject to short-term trading
fees of 2% on shares held 30 days or less.

(3) Management Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

Pursuant to Investment Advisory Agreements ("Advisory Agreements"), Sentinel
Asset Management, Inc. ("SAMI", a subsidiary of NLV Financial Corporation), as
the successor to Sentinel Advisors Company, provides general supervision of the
Funds' investments. Under the Advisory Agreements, each Fund pays SAMI a monthly
fee based on the annual rates shown. When determining the breakpoint for the
advisory fee, assets are aggregated for the Sentinel Government Securities and
Sentinel Short Maturity Government Funds.

     Prior to October 27, 2006, the Sentinel Government Securities and Sentinel
Short Maturity Government Funds' advisory fee breakpoints were determined by
aggregating those Funds' assets with assets of the Sentinel New York Tax-Free
Income and Sentinel Tax-Free Income Funds, which as of October 27, 2006

     The Class A shares of all Funds (except Sentinel U.S. Treasury Money Market
Fund) have adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act. These distribution plans are herein referred to as the "A Plans". Each of
the Funds that offer Class B shares (except Sentinel U.S. Treasury Money Market
Fund) has also adopted a distribution plan applicable to its Class B shares.
These plans are herein referred to as the "B Plans". Each of the Funds that
offer Class C shares has also adopted a Class C distribution plan applicable to
its Class C shares referred to as the "C Plans". Sentinel Balanced Fund has
adopted a distribution plan for its Class D shares referred to as the "D Plan".
Sentinel Short Maturity Government Fund has adopted a distribution plan for its
Class S shares referred to as the "S Plan".

     Under the A Plans, each participating Fund pays to Sentinel Financial
Services Company (the "Distributor", a subsidiary of SAMI), a monthly fee at the
maximum annual rate of (a) 0.30% of average daily net assets relating to Class A
shares outstanding in the case of the Sentinel Balanced, Sentinel Capital
Growth, Sentinel Capital Opportunity, Sentinel Common Stock, Sentinel
Conservative Allocation, Sentinel Growth Leaders, Sentinel International Equity,
Sentinel Mid Cap Growth and Sentinel Small Company Funds, (b) 0.20% of average
daily net assets relating to Class A shares outstanding in the case of the
Sentinel Government Securities and Sentinel High Yield Bond Funds or (c) 0.25%
of average daily net assets relating to Class A shares outstanding in the case
of the Sentinel Short Maturity Government Fund (was 0.35% of average daily net
assets prior to June 1, 2006). Such fees are used to reimburse the Distributor
for expenses incurred in connection with distribution and promotion of the
shares of each participating Fund.

     Under the Plan applicable to the Class B shares, the Class B shares of each
of the Sentinel Balanced, Sentinel Capital Opportunity, Sentinel Common Stock,
Sentinel Conservative Allocation, Sentinel High Yield Bond, Sentinel
International Equity, Sentinel Mid Cap Growth and Sentinel Small Company Funds
pays to the Distributor a monthly fee at an annual rate of up to a total of
1.00% of average daily net assets, of which up to 0.25% shall be for service
fees to broker-dealers, and the remaining 0.75% shall be for the recovery of the
initial sales commissions paid by the Distributor at the time of sales of Class
B shares, together with the cost of financing such payments, and for its other
distribution, sales and marketing expenditures applicable to the Class B shares.

     Under the Plan applicable to the Class C shares, the Class C shares of each
of the Sentinel Balanced, Sentinel Capital Growth, Sentinel Capital Opportunity,
Sentinel Common Stock, Sentinel Conservative Allocation, Sentinel Government
Securities, Sentinel Growth Leaders, Sentinel High Yield Bond, Sentinel
International Equity, Sentinel Mid Cap Growth, Sentinel Short Maturity
Government and Sentinel Small Company Funds pays to the Distributor a monthly
fee at an annual rate of up to a total of 1.00% of average daily net assets, of
which 0.75% is a distribution fee and 0.25% a service fee. In the first year
after the purchase this fee will be applied to recover the initial sales
commission of 1.00% paid by the Distributor to the selling dealer. In subsequent
years, the entire 1.00% will be paid to the selling dealer as additional
commission and/or service fees.

     Under the Plan Applicable to Sentinel Balanced Fund Class D shares, these
shares pay to the Distributor a monthly fee at an annual rate of up to a total
of 0.75% of average daily net assets.

     Under the Plan Applicable to Sentinel Short Maturity Government Class S
shares, these shares pay to the Distributor a monthly fee at an annual rate of
up to a total of 0.75% of average daily net assets. The entire distribution fee
may be paid to the selling dealer.

     The Funds are not assessed distribution fees on shares owned by NLV
Financial Corporation and its affiliates. Where NLV Financial Corporation and
its affiliates held an investment for the entire reporting period for this
annual report, December 1, 2005 to November 30, 2006, this may result in overall
distribution fees for that share class of less than the maximum limits involved.
NLV Financial Corporation and its affiliates had investments for the entire
reporting period in Sentinel Mid Cap Growth Fund Classes A, B and C and Sentinel
Balanced Fund Class D. NLV Financial Corporation and its affiliates also had
investments in Sentinel Conservative Allocation Fund Classes A, B and C during
the reporting period from December 1, 2005 to December 6, 2005, and in Sentinel
Capital Opportunity Fund Class A shares during the reporting period from
December 1, 2005 to December 20, 2005. In addition, NLV Financial Corporation
and its affiliates had investments in Sentinel Capital Growth Class C and
Sentinel Growth Leaders Class C from May 12, 2006 to November 30, 2006 and the
Sentinel Government Securities Class C and Sentinel Short Maturity Government
Fund Class C from June 1, 2006 to November 30, 2006.

     In addition, the retirement plans of the NLV Financial Corporation and its
affiliates receive a rebate of the 12b-1 fees paid by the plans.

     These asset-based fees, excepting the service fee component, are subject to
aggregate limits imposed by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

     The Distributor will not be reimbursed for any un-reimbursed eligible
expenses from any other Fund, or in any future year from any of the Plans.

     The Distributor also receives a sales charge added to the net asset value
received by the Funds on the sale of Class A shares. This compensation is not an
expense of the Funds and does not affect their operating results.

aggregating $2,630,624 for the period ended November 30, 2006. The Funds have

chosen to have their fees deferred in accordance with the Funds' deferred

and deferred compensation expenses on the Statement of Operations and Statement

     The Funds' Chief Compliance Officer also serves as Chief Compliance Officer
of Sentinel Variable Products Trust, a series investment company also advised by
SAMI, SAMI itself, and the separate accounts of National Life Insurance Company
which fund its variable life insurance and annuity products. Pursuant to an
Agreement dated December 9, 2004, the Funds and Sentinel Variable Products Trust
pay 50% of the costs incurred by these Chief Compliance Officer functions,
including the salary and benefits of the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer and his
administrative assistant, and the other costs incurred by the Chief Compliance
Officer. The Funds and Sentinel Variable Products Trust allocate their 50% share
of these costs in proportion to net assets. Out-of-pocket costs which can be
specifically allocated to a particular entity are so allocated.

     Pursuant to the Fund Services Agreement with Sentinel Administrative
Services, Inc. ("SASI", a subsidiary of SAMI), the Funds receive fund accounting

reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses of the Class
A shares of the Capital Opportunity Fund would be no more than 1.30% until
September 26, 2006. This arrangement was not extended and expired. SAMI and/or
its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses
so that the total annual fund operating expenses of the Class A shares of the
Common Stock Fund will be no more than 1.10% until December 19, 2007, and the
Class A shares of each of the Capital Growth and Growth Leaders Funds will be no
more than 1.75% until March 17, 2008. Effective July 1, 2006, SAMI and/or its
affiliates have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses so
that the total annual fund operating expenses of the Class A shares of Growth
Leaders Fund will not exceed 1.45%. This voluntary waiver may be modified or
terminated at any time. The Class B and Class C shares of these Funds, where
applicable, will benefit from these arrangements to the extent SAMI and/or its
affiliates waives its fees to meet these commitments.

     For the period ended November 30, 2006, the total amount reimbursable to
Capital Opportunity $81,475, Class A was Capital Opportunity Class B $13,908,

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors/Trustees and Shareholders of Sentinel Group Funds,
Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Sentinel Balanced Fund, Sentinel
Conservative Allocation Fund (formerly Sentinel Capital Markets Income Fund),
Sentinel Capital Opportunity Fund, Sentinel Common Stock Fund, Sentinel
Government Securities Fund, Sentinel High Yield Bond Fund, Sentinel
International Equity Fund, Sentinel Mid Cap Growth Fund, Sentinel Short Maturity
Government Fund, Sentinel Small Company Fund, Sentinel U.S. Treasury Money
Market Fund, Sentinel Capital Growth Fund, and Sentinel Growth Leaders Fund
comprising the Sentinel Group Funds, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the "Funds")
at November 30, 2006, and the results of each of their operations, the changes
in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
November 30, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

How to invest

To open a new account. Complete the application in the prospectus which also
contains additional information about the Funds.

To add shares. You may add shares to the same fund you own by sending a check
payable to the Sentinel Funds directly to Sentinel.

To invest automatically. Sentinel offers a number of ways to invest
automatically.

     To transfer money periodically from your checking or savings account into
any Sentinel fund:

     .    Decide how much you would like to transfer. You may open an Automatic
          Investment Plan account with as little as $50 as long as you reach a
          minimum balance of $1,000 within two years. (Sentinel Conservative
          Allocation Fund Automatic Investment Plan minimums: $100. Special
          requirements apply to S Shares of Sentinel Short Maturity Government
          Fund. See the prospectus.)

     .    Decide the frequency of your investment.

     .    Shares will be purchased on or about the 5th of the month unless
          otherwise specified. You will receive a confirmation of your automated
          transactions quarterly by mail.

96




     .    You can also choose to have the amount of your Automatic Investment
          Plan investments increase by any percentage or dollar amount you
          specify. Increases can occur annually, semiannually, quarterly or
          monthly. Changes to the Plan may be made over the phone.

There is no charge for these services.

To dollar cost average. When you transfer the same dollar amount through the
Automatic Investment Plan on a regular basis, you "dollar cost average." This
means you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high.
Assuming you continue the program over time, this can reduce your average cost
per share. Dollar cost averaging does not guarantee a profit or protect against
loss in a constantly declining market. If the strategy is discontinued when the
value of shares is less than their cost, a loss may be incurred. That's why you
should consider your ability to continue such a program through periods of
declining markets. To establish a dollar cost averaging plan:

     .    Complete the Electronic Funds Transfer section of the Application and
          select your frequency of investment.

     .    Allow at least one month for your first transfer to be made.

To invest by telephone. The Telephone Investment Service enables you to move
money directly from your bank account to a Sentinel fund of your choice,
automatically and at no charge. To have access to the Telephone Investment
Service:

     .    Complete the Telephone Investment Service section of the Application.

     .    You may use the Telephone Investment Service to transfer any amount
          from $50 to $50,000. Just call Sentinel.

To invest on the internet. To invest with Sentinel over the internet, simply
access your account on our website at www.sentinelfunds.com and follow the easy
instructions you'll find there.

The Government Direct Deposit Privilege. The Government Direct Deposit Privilege
enables you to purchase Fund shares automatically via direct deposit of your
federal salary, Social Security or certain veterans, military or other payments
from the federal government. You may choose to deposit any amount from these
payments (minimum of $50.00). To enroll you must complete and return a Direct
Deposit Sign-Up Form to Sentinel for each type of payment to be deposited.
Contact Sentinel or the appropriate federal agency for forms. Note that death or
legal incapacity will terminate participation, and that should you wish to
terminate participation you'll need to provide written notification to the
appropriate federal agency.

Payroll Savings Plan. The Payroll Savings Plan enables you to purchase Fund
shares automatically on a regular basis (minimum of $50.00 per transaction).
Depending upon your employer's direct deposit program, you may have part or all
of your paycheck invested in your existing Sentinel account electronically
through the Automated Clearing House system each pay period. To begin you'll
need to file an authorization form, available from Sentinel, with your
employer's payroll department. Note that you may change amounts or cancel the
Plan only by written notification to your employer.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements

     Sentinel Group Funds, Inc. has entered into advisory agreements
(collectively "Advisory Agreements") with Sentinel Asset Management, Inc.
("Advisor") for each of its series funds (each a "Fund" and collectively,
"Funds"). The Advisory Agreements were last approved by the Board of Directors
of Sentinel Group Funds, Inc. ("Board" or "Directors") on August 23, 2006.

     The renewal of the Advisory Agreements for an additional year was reviewed
by the Directors who are not interested persons of any Fund as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, ("Independent Directors") at a
special meeting held on July 18, 2006, following which the Advisor furnished
additional information at the request of the Independent Directors. The Board,
including all of the Independent Directors, met on August 22-23, 2006 to further
consider the Advisory Agreements.

     The Board's approvals were based on its consideration, at those meetings
and throughout the preceding year, of the advisory-related services provided by
the Advisor and its affiliates and the personnel who provide these services. In
reaching its determinations, the Board considered all factors it believed
relevant, including performance of each Fund's Class A shares as compared to the
Class A shares of similar mutual funds not managed by the Advisor provided by
Morningstar Associates LLC; the nature, extent and quality of services rendered
by the Advisor and its affiliates; revenue received by the Advisor from the
Funds; the costs borne by, and profitability of, the Advisor and its affiliates
in providing services to each of the Funds; Fund advisory fees and Class A share
expenses as compared to those of similar mutual funds not managed by the Advisor
provided by Morningstar Associates LLC; the extent to which economies of scale
would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect these
economies of scale for the benefit of investors; the Advisor's policies and
practices regarding execution of portfolio transactions of the Funds, including
the extent to which the Advisor benefits from soft dollar arrangements; indirect
benefits that the Advisor and its affiliates may receive from their
relationships to the Funds; information about fees charged by the Advisor to
other clients with similar objectives; the professional experience and
qualifications of each Fund's portfolio manager and other senior personnel of
the Advisor; the compliance record of the Advisor and affiliates under
applicable laws and under its internal compliance program; and the terms of the
Advisory Agreements.

Advisor Personnel and Investment Process. Each quarter, the Directors discuss
with senior management of the Advisor the strategies being used to achieve each
Fund's stated objectives. Among other things, the Board considers the size,
education and experience of each Fund's portfolio management team. At their
August 23, 2006 meeting, the Board noted the change in December 2005 of the
portfolio manager of the International Equity Fund, and that the Fund's new
portfolio manager, Katherine Schapiro, was well qualified with 24 years
experience as an investment professional. The Board also noted the change in
July 2006 of the portfolio manager for the Mid Cap Growth Fund, and that Paul
Kandel was well qualified with 18 years as an investment professional. The Board
considered the change in August 2006 of portfolio managers for the Conservative
Allocation Fund (f/k/a Capital Markets Income Fund) upon the termination of the
investment sub-advisory agreement with Evergreen Investment Management Company,
which now include Daniel J. Manion, David M. Brownlee, Daniel E. Gass and Ms.
Schapiro.

     Throughout the year, the Board requested and received information that
included sales and redemption data for each Fund, a discussion on investment
strategies used by the Fund and the valuation and pricing of each Fund's
portfolio holdings. In preparation for their August meetings, the Governance
Committee and the Independent Directors requested and evaluated materials from
the Advisor and its affiliates that included performance and expense information
(including advisory fees) for other similar mutual funds provided by Morningstar
Associates LLC, an independent third party provider. Prior to voting, the Board
reviewed the Advisory Agreements with management and fund counsel, who is
independent of the Advisor, and received a memorandum from such counsel
discussing the legal standards for their consideration of advisory agreements.

Fund Performance. The Board receives performance data at least quarterly and
discusses with the Advisor portfolio manager effectiveness. At the August
meetings, the Board considered the Funds' 1-, 3- and 5-years net returns as of
March 31, 2006 as compared to peer group and category net return information
provided by Morningstar Associates LLC and also reviewed each Fund's most recent
quarterly performance.

     The Board noted that (1) each of the Balanced, Government Securities and
Short Maturity Government Funds ranked in the top half of its Morningstar peers
with respect to the 1-, 3- and 5-

                                                                              99




year net returns, (2) the Common Stock fund ranked in the top half of its
category with respect to 1-, 3- and 5-year net returns, (3) each of the Capital
Opportunity, High Yield Bond and Small Company Funds ranked in the top half of
its peers and category with respect to its 5-year net returns, (4) the
Conservative Allocation Fund ranked in the top half of its Morningstar peers and
category with respect to its 3-year net return, (5) the International Equity
Fund ranked in the top half of its Morningstar peers with respect to its 3- and
5-year net returns, (6) the Mid Cap Growth Fund showed comparatively less
attractive performance results, except that it ranked in the top half of its
Morningstar peers with respect to its 5-year, risk-adjusted net returns and (7)
the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund ranked in the bottom half of its Morningstar
peers and category with respect to its 1-, 3- and 5-year net returns.

     After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the
context of their overall conclusions regarding each of the advisory agreements,
that the performance of the applicable Funds and the Advisor supported the
approval of the Advisory Agreements.

Advisory Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed each Fund's expense ratios for
the fiscal period ended November 30, 2005 (including advisory fees) compared to
those of the other funds in its Morningstar peer group. The Board noted (1) the
advisory fee for each Fund was subject to a breakpoint schedule, (2) each of the
Balanced, Capital Growth, Capital Opportunity, Common Stock, Conservative
Allocation, International Equity, and Small Company Funds ranked in the top half
of (indicating lower expenses than) its Morningstar peers and category with
respect to advisory fees and net expenses, (2) each of the Government Securities
and Mid Cap Growth funds ranked in the top half (indicating lower fees than) its
Morningstar category with respect to advisory fees and net expense, (5) each of
the Short Maturity Government and U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds ranked in the
top half of (indicating lower fees than) its Morningstar peers with respect to
its advisory fee, (6) the High Yield Bond Fund ranked in the top half of
(indicating lower fees than) its Morningstar peers with respect to its net
expenses.

Profitability. The Board reviewed information prepared by the Advisor regarding
the profitability of the Advisor of its advisory relationship with each Fund as
well as the overall profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates. The
Independent Directors also reviewed with the Advisor the methodology it used to
allocate expenses for purposes of such profitability analysis. The Board
reviewed the 2005 profitability of the Advisor and its affiliates in providing
services to the Funds as compared to the profitability of several publicly held
investment management companies provided by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods ("KBW"). The
Board noted that the profitability of the Advisor and its affiliates was not
inconsistent with the KBW data.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there had been economies of
scale with respect to the management of the Funds, and whether the Funds had
appropriately benefited from any available economies of scale. The Board noted
that all of the Funds were currently subject to an advisory fee breakpoint
schedule. They also considered the current level of assets of each Fund. After
reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of
their overall conclusions regarding the Advisory Agreements, that the extent to
which economies of scale were shared with the Funds supported the Advisory
Agreements.

Conclusion. The Board considered the Advisor to be an experienced asset
management firm and considered the overall quality of services provided by the
Advisor to be excellent. It believed that the Advisor is financially sound and
well managed. After several meetings of the Governance Committee and the Board,
including a number of deliberations by the Independent Directors without the
presence of employees of the Advisor or its affiliates, the Board, including a
majority of the Independent Directors, approved the Advisory Agreements. For the
Common Stock Fund, the approval was subject to the continuance of a contractual
arrangement under which the Advisor would waive fees and/or reimburse expenses
so that the total annual fund operating expenses of the Class A shares of the
Common Stock Fund would be no more than 1.10% until December 19, 2007. The Board
concluded that the advisory fee set forth in the Advisory Agreements was
reasonable in relation to the services to be provided and that continuation of
the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy. The policy of the Registrant’s Audit Committee is to pre-approve (or establish policies for pre-approval) all auditing services to be provided to the Registrant by the independent auditor and to pre-approve (or establish policies for the pre-approval of) all non-auditing services, including tax services, to be provided to the Registrant by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee also must pre-approve (or establish policies for the pre-approval of) non-auditing services to be provided to the Registrant’s investment adviser (and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant) if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant.

(e)(2) 100% of the services described in (c) and (d) above were approved by the Audit Committee.

(f) All of the work in connection with the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements was performed by full-time employees of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

(g) Except as disclosed in Item 4(c), there were no non-audit fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for each of the Registrant’s last two fiscal years.

(h) The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
