1.  The following replaces the third paragraph under “Principal Investment Strategies” in “Fund Summaries – Eaton Vance Dividend Builder Fund”:

The portfolio manager seeks to purchase securities that he believes are reasonably priced in relation to their fundamental value and that may produce attractive levels of dividend income and offer the potential for dividend growth, while growing in value over time. The portfolio manager may also seek to purchase companies that he believes have the potential to initiate or reinstate a dividend in the foreseeable future. Portfolio securities are selected by a team of investment research analysts in the investment adviser’s equity research group working together with the portfolio manager.  In making recommendations for the portfolio, the team of equity research analysts makes investment judgments primarily on the basis of fundamental research analysis.  Fundamental research involves, (among other factors) a company’s earnings or cash flow capabilities, financial strength, growth potential, the strength of the company’s business franchises and management team, sustainability of a company’s competitiveness, and estimates of the company’s net value. The portfolio manager also uses quantitative portfolio optimization and risk management techniques in constructing the portfolio. The portfolio manager may sell a security when the investment adviser’s price objective for the stock is reached or the fundamentals of the company deteriorate or to pursue more attractive investment options. The portfolio manager seeks to manage investment risk by maintaining broad issuer and industry diversification among the Fund’s holdings, and by utilizing fundamental analysis of risk/return characteristics and quantitative portfolio optimization in securities selection.

2.  The following replaces “Risks Associated with Active Management.” under “Principal Risks” in “Fund Summaries – Eaton Vance Dividend Builder Fund”:

Risks Associated with Active Management. The Fund is an actively managed portfolio and its success depends upon the ability of the investment adviser to develop and effectively implement strategies to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. Subjective decisions may cause the Fund to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities on which it may otherwise have capitalized. The investment adviser also uses quantitative portfolio optimization and risk management techniques in making investment decisions for the Fund.  There can be no assurance that these techniques will achieve the desired results.

3.  The following replaces “Portfolio Managers” under “Management” in “Fund Summaries – Eaton Vance Dividend Builder Fund”:

Portfolio Manager.  The Portfolio is managed by Charles B. Gaffney, Vice President of BMR, who has managed the Portfolio since 2007.

4.  The following replaces “Portfolio Managers.” under “Management” in “Fund Summaries – Eaton Vance Small-Cap Value Fund”:
