EATON VANCE TAX-ADVANTAGED BOND STRATEGIES SHORT TERM FUND

EATON VANCE TAX-ADVANTAGED BOND STRATEGIES INTERMEDIATE TERM FUND

EATON VANCE TAX-ADVANTAGED BOND STRATEGIES LONG TERM FUND

Supplement to Prospectus dated June 1, 2014

1. The following replaces the first paragraph under “Principal Investment Strategies” in “Fund Summaries – Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund” in the Funds’ Prospectus:

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations that are exempt from regular federal income tax (“Municipal Securities”), municipal obligations that are not exempt from regular federal income tax (“Taxable Municipal Securities”), direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (“Treasury Securities”) and/or obligations of U.S. Government agencies, instrumentalities and government-sponsored enterprises (“Agency Securities”) (the “80% Policy”). Taxable Municipal Securities include obligations issued pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Act”) or other legislation providing for the issuance of taxable municipal debt on which the issuer receives federal support (any bonds so issued are considered “Build America Bonds”). When investing in Build America Bonds the Fund expects to invest in direct pay Build America Bonds and “principal only” strips of tax credit Build America Bonds. Provisions of the Act relevant to the issuance of Build America Bonds expired on December 31, 2010 and, as such, issuance has ceased. The Fund normally invests in Municipal Securities and Taxable Municipal Securities rated in the two highest rating categories (those rated AA or higher by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) or Aa or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”)) or, if unrated, determined by the investment adviser to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase, but may also invest up to 30% of its net assets in Municipal Securities or Taxable Municipal Securities rated A at the time of purchase by S&P, Fitch or Moody’s or, if unrated, determined by the investment adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund may continue to hold securities that are downgraded (including bonds downgraded to below investment grade credit quality (“junk bonds”)) if the investment adviser believes it would be advantageous to do so. The Fund will not invest in a Municipal Security the interest on which the Fund’s investment adviser believes is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. For its investment in Municipal Securities, the Fund invests primarily in general obligation or revenue bonds. The Fund currently targets an average portfolio duration of approximately 2 - 4.5 years and an average weighted portfolio maturity of approximately 3 - 6 years, but may invest in securities of any maturity or duration, and may in the future alter its maturity or duration target range. The Fund may use various techniques to shorten or lengthen its dollar-weighted average portfolio duration, including the acquisition of municipal obligations at a premium or discount. The Fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents.

The Fund will not invest in a Municipal Security the interest on which the Fund’s investment adviser believes is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. For its investment in Municipal Securities, the Fund invests primarily in general obligation or revenue bonds. The Fund currently targets an average portfolio duration of approximately 5 - 7 years and an average weighted portfolio maturity of approximately 5 - 13 years, but may invest in securities of any maturity or duration, and may in the future alter its maturity or duration target range. The Fund may use various techniques to shorten or lengthen its dollar weighted average portfolio duration, including the acquisition of municipal obligations at a premium or discount.

The Fund may use various techniques to shorten or lengthen its dollar weighted average portfolio duration, including the acquisition of municipal obligations at a premium or discount. The Fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may borrow from banks for investment purposes.
