You may qualify for a reduced sales charge if you invest, or agree to invest over a 13-month period, at least $50,000 in Eaton Vance Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and in Sales Charges beginning on page 40 of the Fund's Prospectus and page 20 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

(1)

The investment adviser and administrator has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 1.00% for Class A shares and 0.75% for Class I shares. This expense reimbursement will continue through November 30, 2014. Any amendment to or a termination of this reimbursement would require written approval of the Board of Trustees. The expense reimbursement relates to ordinary operating expenses only and does not include expenses such as: brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, taxes or litigation expenses. Amounts reimbursed may be recouped by the investment adviser and administrator during the Fund’s current fiscal year to the extent actual expenses are less than the contractual expense cap during such year.

Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

         
  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Class A shares $572 $847 $1,143 $1,983
Class I shares $77 $313 $568 $1,298
