Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than
their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. For the
Fund’s performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to eatonvance.com. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net
asset value (NAV) with all distributions reinvested. Returns for other classes of shares offered by the Fund are different. Performance less than one year is cumulative. The
minimum investment is $1,000 for A Shares and $250,000 for I Shares. Minimums may be waived in certain situations. Please see the prospectus for additional
information.
As used herein, beta is defined as a management style that focuses on market exposure in terms of size, style, geography, market capitalization, and other factors. 2Diversification

Founder, CEO and Chief Investment Officer

Joined Eaton Vance 2010
Managed Fund since inception
Mr. Bernstein founded Richard Bernstein Advisors LLC
in 2009. He has over 30 years of experience on Wall
Street, most recently as the chief investment strategist
at Merrill Lynch & Co. where he started in 1988.
About Risk: Fund share values are sensitive to stock market volatility. Investments in foreign instruments or currencies can involve greater risk and volatility than
U.S. investments because of adverse market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical or other conditions. In emerging countries, these risks may be more
significant. Smaller companies are generally subject to greater price fluctuations, limited liquidity, higher transaction costs and higher investment risk than
larger, established companies. Derivative instruments can be used to take both long and short positions, be highly volatile, result in economic leverage (which
can magnify losses), and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying instrument on which the derivative is based, such as counterparty, correlation
and liquidity risk. If a counterparty is unable to honor its commitments, the value of Fund shares may decline and/or the Fund could experience delays in the
return of collateral or other assets held by the counterparty. No Fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money investing in a Fund. The Fund
may engage in other investment practices that may involve additional risks and you should review the Fund prospectus for a complete description.
Percent of total net assets. Portfolio profile subject to change due to active management. Percentages may not total 100% due to rounding. 7The Fund may obtain exposure
to certain market segments through investments in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and futures. For purposes of the asset breakdowns, allocations with respect to the
Fund’s investments in ETFs and futures are based on the underlying portfolio composition of each ETF and future as of the calendar quarter end. Cash & Equivalents is calculated
and presented net of any notional futures exposure. 8Weightings are calculated using individual portfolio holdings (equity-only basis) and index constituent weights. Region is based
on MSCI’s country/region membership methodology and, with respect to the Fund’s investments in ETFs, is based on the underlying portfolio composition of each ETF as of the
calendar quarter-end. Size is based upon float-adjusted market caps and our own range definitions of Large Cap (greater than $10B), Midcap ($2B-$10B) and Small Cap (less
than $2B). Style is based upon S&P’s Global Broad Market Style Indexes. Sources: Bloomberg, Axioma Inc., Standard & Poor’s, MSCI. The S&P Global BMI Style Index uses
three growth variables and four value variables to classify each stock in the universe as 100% growth, 100% value, or a mixture of both growth and value. This approach permits
a stock to be classified, for example, as 60% growth and 40% value, for better securities classification and less index turnover by recognizing that companies may gradually move
from one style to another over time.

Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important

the prospectus carefully before investing.
