Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders.
 
Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial adviser, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial adviser. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial adviser.
 
 
 
 
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
 
 
 
 
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122. This description is also available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
 
 
 
 
Additional Notice to Shareholders. The Fund may redeem or purchase its outstanding auction preferred shares (APS) in order to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, borrowing or rating agency requirements or for other purposes as it deems appropriate or necessary. The Fund also may purchase shares of its common stock in the open market when they trade at a discount to net asset value or at other times if the Fund determines such purchases are advisable. There can be no assurance that the Fund will take such action or that such purchases would reduce the discount.

Economic and Market Conditions
  During the six months ending October 31, 2010, the rally in U.S. Treasuries rewarded longer duration, as the 10- and 30-year maturity bonds produced 10.6% and 10.8% returns, respectively. Reflecting modest spread widening during the period, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index returned 6.8% over the period while the shorter-duration S&P/ LSTA Leveraged Loan Index returned approximately 2.1%. U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) also generated positive returns, with the BofA Merrill Lynch Mortgage Master Index returning 4.0%.1

The bank loan market generated positive returns and remained generally healthy, if not as robust as earlier in 2010, during the six-month period. Despite a negative return in the May-June period that was driven primarily by concerns over the European debt crisis, the loan market regained strength for the remainder of the period. The market’s recovery was driven by stronger demand and greater liquidity in the marketplace, along with improved corporate fundamentals. As a result, investors in search of yield began to take on incremental credit risk once again, evidenced by improved inflows into high-yield bond and bank loan mutual funds.
  The high-yield bond market had solid six-month returns, benefiting from the same economic and market factors that helped the bank loan market. High-yield fundamentals, which have been improving for the past several quarters, continued a positive trend into the latter months of the period. Corporate operating earnings growth were strong in the second and third quarters of 2010, and ratings downgrades

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. The Fund’s performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price performance generally reflects investment results over time, during shorter periods, returns at market price can also be affected by factors such as changing perceptions about the Fund, market conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand for the Fund’s shares, or changes in Fund distributions. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, 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 the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.
    and new defaults have diminished to more modest levels, providing additional evidence of fundamental improvements. Our expectation is for continued moderate declines in default rates as older defaults fall off of the rolling 12-month figures and are replaced by fewer new defaults.
 
  Over the six-month period, the pace of acceleration in economic activity moderated worldwide, shifting investor focus to the weakening in the U.S. economy and anticipation of another round of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve.
Management Discussion
  The Fund is a closed-end fund and trades on the NYSE Amex exchange under the symbol “EVV.” The Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in two distinct investment categories: 1) U.S. government agency MBS and other

It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. The Indices’ total returns do not reflect the commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices. The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index’s total return reflects changes in value of the loans constituting the Index and accrual of interest. The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index is an unmanaged index of the institutional leveraged loan market. The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index is an unmanaged index of below-investment grade U.S. corporate bonds. The BofA Merrill Lynch Mortgage Master Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. mortgage-backed securities traded on the secondary market. Unlike the Fund, the Indices’ returns do not reflect the effects of leverage.

Six-month returns are cumulative. Performance results reflect the effects of leverage resulting from the Fund’s issuance of Auction Preferred Shares (APS) and its debt financing.
 
3  
The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV or market price at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and return of capital.

Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

U.S. government securities; and 2) investments rated below investment-grade, which include (but are not limited to) senior, secured loans and high-yield bonds. As of October 31, 2010, the Fund was invested 26.6% in seasoned U.S. government agency MBS (seasoned MBS) and other U.S. government agency debt and 59.3% in below-investment-grade securities; of the latter, 27.8% was invested in senior, secured loans and 31.6% was invested in high-yield corporate bonds. The Fund’s other investments included 6.7% in commercial MBS (CMBS) and 3.5% in investment-grade corporate bonds. During the six-month period, the Fund had total returns of 6.09% at net asset value and 4.90% at market price.

The Fund’s high-yield bond investments performed well, in line with the market, for the six months ending October 31, 2010. During the first three months of the period, the Fund’s high-yield securities benefited from a shorter average duration and from an underweighting in low-quality CCC-rated holdings. In the latter three months, however, these characteristics detracted from performance as investor demand increased in the riskier segments of the market.
  During the six-month period, the Fund’s bank loan investments underperformed the broader bank loan market, primarily as a result of strong performance in the riskier end of the market. Management continued to maintain smaller allocations to large lower-quality loans—notably, some significant issues that came to market in 2007—than did the market, an underweighting that it believes may lead to better long-term performance. A lower allocation to B-rated loans, which rallied the most after the May/June volatility, slightly detracted during the summer months. The price of these issues rallied more than the overall

APS percentage represents the liquidation value of the Fund’s APS outstanding at 10/31/10 as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets applicable to common shares plus APS and borrowings outstanding. In the event of a rise in long-term interest rates, the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio could decline, which would reduce the asset coverage for its APS and borrowings.

market as investors sought higher discount opportunities. European bank loan holdings, meanwhile, contributed positively to performance.

In the MBS portion of the Fund, the investment emphasis remained on seasoned MBS. Typically, the mortgages underlying seasoned MBS were originated in the 1980s and 1990s. As a result, they have generally lower loan-to-home value ratios, meaning that the underlying homeowners have more equity in their homes than the average borrower. In addition, these loans are guaranteed by government agencies. For the six-month period, seasoned MBS spreads tightened by approximately 15 basis points (0.15%). Prepayment rates continued to run in the low- to mid-teens without any meaningful increase, despite new lows in mortgage rates. Shifting focus to the entire U.S. government agency MBS market, a lack of new supply resulted in a positive technical environment, providing support for yield spreads as U.S. Treasury yields declined.
  As of October 31, 2010, the Fund employed leverage of 32.1% of total assets—1.7% from TALF loans, 21.2% in other borrowings and 9.2% from APS.1 TALF loans are non-recourse to the Fund. Use of leverage creates an opportunity for income, but at the same time creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV and market price of common shares).

(1) Senior floating-rate interests (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility and includes commitment fees on unfunded loan commitments, if any. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders.
 
(2) Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. See Note 1G for description.
 
(3) Represents a payment-in-kind security which may pay all or a portion of interest/dividends in additional par/shares.
 
(4) This Senior Loan will settle after October 31, 2010, at which time the interest rate will be determined.
 
(5) Defaulted matured security. Interest rate has been adjusted to reflect non-accrual status.
 
(6) Security valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
 
(7) Currently the issuer is in default with respect to interest payments. Interest rate has been adjusted to reflect non-accrual status.
 
(8) Principal less than $1,000.
 
(9) Amount is less than 0.05%.
 
(10) Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in certain transactions (normally to qualified institutional buyers) and remain exempt from registration. At October 31, 2010, the aggregate value of these securities is $352,329,550 or 17.8% of the Fund’s net assets applicable to common shares.
 
(11) Security converts to floating rate after the indicated fixed-rate coupon period.
 
(12) The maturity dates shown are the scheduled maturity date and final maturity date, respectively. The scheduled maturity date is earlier than the final maturity date due to the possibility of earlier repayment.
 
(13) Security (or a portion thereof) has been pledged to cover collateral requirements on open financial contracts.
 
(14) Adjustable rate mortgage security. Rate shown is the rate at October 31, 2010.
 
(15) Weighted average fixed-rate coupon that changes/updates monthly.
 
(16) Security held as collateral for borrowings under the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF).
 
(17) Variable rate security. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at October 31, 2010.
 
(18) Non-income producing security.
 
(19) Security was acquired in connection with a restructuring of a Senior Loan and may be subject to restrictions on resale.
 
(20) Restricted security (see Note 8).
 
(21) Affiliated investment company available to Eaton Vance portfolios and funds which invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments. The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of October 31, 2010. Net income allocated from the investment in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC for the fiscal year to date ended October 31, 2010 was $37,906.

Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund as of October 31, 2010

1   Significant Accounting Policies
 
Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (the Fund) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund may, as a secondary objective, also seek capital appreciation to the extent it is consistent with its primary objective.
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
A  Investment Valuation — Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower’s outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower’s assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Fund based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Fund. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Fund. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.
 
Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days and excluding most seasoned mortgage-backed securities) are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Most seasoned, fixed rate 30-year mortgage-backed securities are valued through the use of the investment adviser’s matrix pricing system, which takes into account bond prices, yield differentials, anticipated prepayments and interest rates provided by dealers. The value of preferred debt securities that are valued by a pricing service on an equity basis will be adjusted by an income factor, to be determined by the investment adviser, to reflect the next anticipated regular dividend. Short-term debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that will use various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are generally valued at the mean of the average bid and average asked prices that are reported by currency dealers to a third party pricing service at the valuation time. Such third party pricing service valuations are supplied for specific settlement periods and the Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange

contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent settlement period reported by the third party pricing service. Credit default swaps are normally valued using valuations provided by a third party pricing service. The pricing services employ electronic data processing techniques to determine the present value based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker/dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the pricing service using proprietary models. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker-dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
 
The Fund may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, Cash Reserves Fund may value its investment securities in the same manner as debt obligations described above.
 
B  Investment Transactions — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
C  Income — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities.
 
D  Federal Taxes — The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
 
At April 30, 2010, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $326,502,216 which will reduce its taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on April 30, 2012 ($26,481,368), April 30, 2013 ($40,885,552), April 30, 2014 ($28,843,098), April 30, 2015 ($18,927,766), April 30, 2016 ($31,018,401), April 30, 2017 ($112,795,908) and April 30, 2018 ($67,550,123).
 
A capital loss carryforward of $41, 407,625 included in the amounts above is available to the Fund as a result of the reorganization on March 12, 2010 (see Note 14). Utilization of this capital loss carryforward may be limited in accordance with certain income tax regulations.
 
Additionally, at April 30, 2010, the Fund had a net capital loss of $33,109,072 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2009. This net capital loss is treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s taxable year ending April 30, 2011.
 
As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended April 30, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
 
E  Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.

F  Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
 
G  Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Fund may enter into certain credit agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments. At October 31, 2010, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
 
H  Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
I  Indemnifications — Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Fund) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Fund. However, the Fund’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Fund shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
 
J  Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The Fund enters into forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
K  Credit Default Swaps — When the Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, the Fund is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty to the contract if a credit event by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer or sovereign issuer, on the debt obligation occurs. In return, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund would have spent the stream of payments and received no benefits from the contract. When the Fund is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Fund effectively adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The interest fee paid or received on the swap contract, which is based on a specified interest rate on a fixed notional amount, is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation. Up-front payments or receipts, if

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT’D
 
any, are recorded as other assets or other liabilities, respectively, and amortized over the life of the swap contract as realized gains or losses. The Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller. The Fund segregates assets in the form of cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to any unrealized depreciation of the credit default swaps of which it is the buyer, marked to market on a daily basis. These transactions involve certain risks, including the risk that the seller may be unable to fulfill the transaction.
 
L  Statement of Cash Flows — The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Fund is the amount included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
 
M  Interim Financial Statements — The interim financial statements relating to October 31, 2010 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
 
2   Auction Preferred Shares
 
The Fund issued Auction Preferred Shares (APS) on July 25, 2003 in a public offering. The underwriting discount and other offering costs incurred in connection with the offering were recorded as a reduction of the paid-in capital of the common shares. Dividends on the APS, which accrue daily, are cumulative at rates which are reset weekly for Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D, and approximately monthly for Series E by an auction, unless a special dividend period has been set. Series of APS are identical in all respects except for the reset dates of the dividend rates. If the APS auctions do not successfully clear, the dividend payment rate over the next period for the APS holders is set at a specified maximum applicable rate until such time as the APS auctions are successful. Auctions have not cleared since February 13, 2008 and the rate since that date has been the maximum applicable rate (see Note 3). The maximum applicable rate on the APS is 150% of the “AA” Financial Composite Commercial Paper Rate on the date of the auction.
 
The number of APS issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2010 is as follows:
 
             
    APS Issued and Outstanding      
 
Series A
    2,133      
Series B
    2,133      
Series C
    2,133      
Series D
    2,133      
Series E
    2,133      
 
The APS are redeemable at the option of the Fund at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, on any dividend payment date. The APS are also subject to mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if the Fund is in default for an extended period on its asset maintenance requirements with respect to the APS. If the dividends on the APS remain unpaid in an amount equal to two full years’ dividends, the holders of the APS as a class have the right to elect a majority of the Board of Trustees. In general, the holders of the APS and the common shares have equal voting rights of one vote per share, except that the holders of the APS, as a separate class, have the right to elect at least two members of the Board of Trustees. The APS have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverage with respect to the APS as defined in the Fund’s By-Laws and the 1940 Act. The Fund pays an annual fee up to 0.15% of the liquidation value of the APS to broker-dealers as a service fee if the auctions are unsuccessful; otherwise, the annual fee is 0.25%.
 
3   Distributions to Shareholders
 
The Fund intends to make monthly distributions of net investment income to common shareholders, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding APS. In addition, at least annually, the Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards from prior years, if any). Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are recorded daily and are payable at the end of each dividend period. The dividend rates for the APS at October 31, 2010, and the amount of dividends

paid (including capital gains, if any) to APS shareholders, average APS dividend rates (annualized), and dividend rate ranges for the six months then ended were as follows:

Series B
    0.29%       93,337       0.35%       0.27%–0.42%      
Series C
    0.33%       90,733       0.34%       0.23%–0.44%      
Series D
    0.30%       91,720       0.34%       0.20%–0.42%      
Series E
    0.30%       89,650       0.33%       0.26%–0.47%      
 
 
 
Beginning February 13, 2008 and consistent with the patterns in the broader market for auction-rate securities, the Fund’s APS auctions were unsuccessful in clearing due to an imbalance of sell orders over bids to buy the APS. As a result, the dividend rate of the APS were reset to the maximum applicable rate. The table above reflects such maximum dividend rate for each series as of October 31, 2010.
 
The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
 
4   Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
The investment adviser fee is earned by EVM as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average weekly gross assets and is payable monthly. Gross assets as referred to herein represent net assets plus obligations attributable to investment leverage. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s adviser fee totaled $10,387,411. EVM also serves as administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation.
 
In addition, EVM has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for fees and other expenses at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund’s average weekly gross assets during the first five full years of the Fund’s operations, 0.15% of the Fund’s average weekly gross assets in year six, 0.10% in year seven and 0.05% in year eight. The Fund concluded its first seven full years of operations on May 30, 2010. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM waived $801,882 of its investment adviser fee for the six months ended October 31, 2010.
 
Except for Trustees of the Fund who are not members of EVM’s organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with EVM may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.

The Fund has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities. The value of these securities is determined based on valuations provided by brokers when available, or if not available, they are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

9   Financial Instruments
 
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
 
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2010 is as follows:

                $ (1,173,474 )    
 
 
 
At October 31, 2010, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
 
The Fund is subject to foreign exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Fund holds foreign currency denominated investments, the value of these investments and related receivables and payables may change due to future changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To hedge against this risk, the Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund also enters into such contracts to hedge the currency risk of investments it anticipates purchasing.
 
The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Fund for those derivatives in a liability position. At October 31, 2010 the fair value of derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position was $807,900.
 
The fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is foreign exchange risk at October 31, 2010 was as follows:

The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the six months ended October 31, 2010, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $87,389,000.
 
10   Revolving Credit and Security Agreement
 
Effective April 11, 2008, the Fund entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, as amended (the Agreement) with conduit lenders and a bank to borrow up to a limit of $715,625,000 for a period of five years, the proceeds of which were primarily used to partially redeem the Fund’s APS. The Agreement provides for a renewable 364-day backstop financing arrangement, which ensures that alternate financing will continue to be available to the Fund should the conduits be unable to place their commercial paper. The Agreement was renewed effective March 29, 2010. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Fund. Interest is charged at a rate above the conduits’ commercial paper issuance rate and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund pays a monthly program fee of 0.75% per annum on its outstanding borrowings to administer the facility and a monthly liquidity fee of 0.50% per annum on the borrowing limit under the Agreement. The Fund also paid an initial structuring fee of $7,156,250 which is being amortized to interest expense over a period of five years. The unamortized structuring fee at October 31, 2010 is approximately $3,496,000 and is included in prepaid expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is required to maintain certain net asset levels during the term of the Agreement. At October 31, 2010, the Fund had borrowings outstanding under the Agreement of $618,200,000 at an interest rate of 0.32%. The carrying amount of the borrowings at October 31, 2010 approximated its fair value. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the average borrowings under the Agreement and the average interest rate were $510,580,435 and 0.42% (annualized), respectively.
 
11   Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility
 
The Fund participates in the Term Asset-Backed Loan Facility (TALF), a loan facility administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in conjunction with the U.S. Treasury Department. The program provides term financing for eligible asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities that meet certain criteria. Under the terms of the program, the Fund pledged as collateral commercial mortgage-backed securities in exchange for non-recourse loans of 85% of the value of the pledged collateral at the inception of the loans. The loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the Fund’s option without a penalty. Principal repayments on the pledged collateral must be used to reduce the outstanding loan balance. Interest on the loans is based on a predetermined rate on the loan origination date and is payable monthly, typically from the interest received on the pledged collateral. In addition, the Fund paid an administrative fee of 0.20% of the amount borrowed which is being amortized as interest expense to the maturity date of the loans. Unamortized administrative fees at October 31, 2010 were approximately $76,300 and are included in prepaid expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
At October 31, 2010, the Fund had two TALF loans outstanding aggregating $51,042,132 with an interest rate of 2.78% and a maturity date of January 28, 2013. The fair value of the securities pledged as collateral on the loans at October 31, 2010 was $64,350,600. For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the average borrowings under the TALF program and the weighted average interest rate were $51,042,132 and 2.78% (annualized), respectively.
 
The Fund has elected to value its TALF loans at fair value, as permitted by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, to mitigate the volatility in net assets caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The Fund values its TALF loans using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund. Each such determination is based on consideration of, including but not limited to, observable market transactions, the nonrecourse nature of the loans, the value of the underlying collateral, and market interest rates. At October 31, 2010, the fair value of the Fund’s TALF loans was determined to be its face value.
 
12   Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
 
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and

42

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT’D
 
reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Certain foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign securities markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.
 
13   Fair Value Measurements
 
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •  Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
At October 31, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
 
                                     
    Quoted

14   Reorganizations
 
Prior to the opening of business on March 12, 2010, the Fund acquired the net assets applicable to common shares of Eaton Vance Credit Opportunities Fund (the Acquired Fund) pursuant to an agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund on February 26, 2010. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 4,738,774 common shares of the Fund (valued at $77,565,332) for 7,274,487 common shares of the Acquired Fund, each outstanding on March 11, 2010, and cash consideration equal to the aggregate liquidation value of the Acquired Fund’s Auction Preferred Shares (valued at $8,000,000). The investment portfolio of the Acquired Fund, with a fair value of $84,111,346 and identified cost of $101,932,161 at March 11, 2010, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets applicable to common shares of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $1,840,816,015. The net assets applicable to common shares of the Acquired Fund at that date of $77,565,332, including $44,649,745 of accumulated net realized losses and $17,755,310 of unrealized depreciation, were combined with those of the Fund, resulting in combined net assets applicable to common shares of $1,918,381,347.
 
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on May 1, 2009, the beginning of the Fund’s annual reporting period, the Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended April 30, 2010 are as follows:
 
             
Net investment income
  $ 142,462,493      
Net realized losses
  $ (52,049,865 )    
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations
  $ 603,910,531      
 
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund since March, 12, 2010.
 
15   Legal Proceedings
 
In May 2010, the Fund received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of a putative common shareholder. The demand letter alleged that Eaton Vance Management and the Trustees and officers of the Fund breached their fiduciary duty to the Fund in connection with redemption by the Fund of its auction preferred securities following the collapse of auction markets in February 2008. The letter demanded that the Board of Trustees of the Fund take certain action to remedy those alleged breaches. In August 2010, following a thorough investigation conducted by the independent Trustees of the Fund, the Board of Trustees of the Fund (including all of the independent Trustees) rejected the demands set forth in the demand letter. Additionally, two law firms have filed separate purported class action lawsuits against the Fund on behalf of putative common shareholders, alleging breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Fund’s redemption of auction preferred securities. In addition to the Fund, named defendants include Trustees of the Fund,

Eaton Vance Management and Eaton Vance Corp. The Fund, Eaton Vance Management and Eaton Vance Corp. believe these lawsuits to be without merit, and intend to defend themselves vigorously. The Fund believes that these lawsuits will not have a material effect on it or on Eaton Vance Management’s ability to serve as its investment adviser.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL
 
 
Overview of the Contract Review Process
 
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
 
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 26, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2010. Such information included, among other things, the following:
 
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
 
  •  An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;
  •  An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;
  •  An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including yield where relevant) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;
  •  Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of similarly managed funds and appropriate indices;
  •  For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund;
  •  Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund;
 
Information about Portfolio Management
 
  •  Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel;
  •  Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through “soft dollar” benefits received in connection with the funds’ brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds;
  •  Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund;
  •  The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;
 
Information about each Adviser
 
  •  Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser;
  •  Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;
  •  Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes;
  •  Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions;
  •  Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions;
  •  Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates;
  •  A description of Eaton Vance Management’s procedures for overseeing third party advisers and sub-advisers;
 
Other Relevant Information
 
  •  Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates;
  •  Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds’ administrator; and
  •  The terms of each advisory agreement.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
 
 
In addition to the information identified above, the Contract Review Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2010, with respect to one or more Funds, the Board met ten times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met nine, thirteen, three, eight and fifteen times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund’s investment objective, as well as trading policies and procedures and risk management techniques.
 
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
 
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.
 
Results of the Process
 
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement between Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (the “Fund”) and Eaton Vance Management (the “Adviser”), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
 
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.
 
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. In particular, the Board evaluated, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit risk and special considerations relevant to investing in senior secured floating-rate loans, mortgage-backed securities and high-yield bonds. The Board also considered the resources available to personnel of the Adviser, including research services. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund by senior management.
 
The Board also reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
 
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds.
 
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONTRACT APPROVAL CONT’D
 
Fund Performance
 
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of comparable funds identified by an independent data provider as well as a peer group of similarly managed funds and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2009 for the Fund. On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information provided by the Adviser in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
 
Management Fees and Expenses
 
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates payable by the Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and the Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions being taken to reduce expenses at the fund complex level. The Board noted the fact that the Adviser had waived fees and/or paid expenses for the Fund.
 
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
 
Profitability
 
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized with and without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser in connection with its relationship with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.
 
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
 
Economies of Scale
 
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board also considered the fact that the Fund is not continuously offered and concluded that, in light of the level of the Adviser’s profits with respect to the Fund, the implementation of breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule is not appropriate at this time. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and its affiliates and the Fund.
