Brochure Summary

Overview

Eaton Vance and its advisory affiliates represent the investment management division of Morgan Stanley, a publicly held company (“Morgan Stanley”). We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, a corporation whose shares are publicly held and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MS”. Morgan Stanley is a leading global financial services firm providing investment banking, securities, wealth management and investment management services. With offices in more than 41 countries, the Firm’s employees serve clients worldwide including corporations, governments, institutions, and individuals. Eaton Vance and its predecessor organizations have been providing investment advice since 1924. Overview Eaton Vance offers advisory services in a variety of equity, income, mixed-asset and alternative strategies. Eaton Vance’s evaluation of investment alternatives generally places primary emphasis and reliance upon fundamental analysis of issuers of equity and debt securities; political, economic, and industry developments; money and capital market conditions, with attention to interest rate patterns; and any other factors that, in Eaton Vance’s judgment, could have an impact on the value of an investment. Eaton Vance provides investment advisory services to investment companies registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”), private investment vehicles and offshore pooled vehicles sponsored by Eaton Vance and its affiliates and provides sub-advisory services to registered investment companies and other pooled investment vehicles sponsored by unaffiliated parties who serve as the primary investment adviser (collectively, “Funds”). Eaton Vance also advises separately managed accounts for a wide range of institutional clients. In addition, Eaton Vance provides investment advice to individual retail investors through various bundled “wrap fee” programs (“Wrap Fee Programs”) and other platforms sponsored by certain broker-dealers and/or investment advisers (“Sponsor(s)”), including affiliates of Eaton Vance. Separate Accounts Eaton Vance provides investment advisory services through separately managed accounts to a variety of institutional clients, including high net worth individuals, business organizations, public and private pensions, trusts, foundations, charitable organizations, hospitals, labor unions, religious organizations, endowment funds, insurance companies, educational institutions, sovereign wealth funds and other entities (“Institutional Accounts”). The advisory services for these accounts are tailored to each client based on its individual investment objectives. Before establishing an Institutional Account, Eaton Vance and the client discuss the available investment strategies and the client’s investment objectives. Investment in certain securities or types of securities can be restricted at the request of the client. See Appendix A – Fee Schedules for a list of strategies offered for Institutional Accounts. Wrap Fee and Platform Programs Our investment advisory services are available through various bundled Wrap Fee Programs sponsored by certain broker-dealers and/or investment advisers (“Sponsor(s)”), including affiliates of Eaton Vance, to individual investors, including high net worth and other retail investors. As used herein, the term Sponsor includes overlay managers to the extent a Wrap Fee Program utilizes an overlay manager. Clients that participate in these Wrap Fee Programs enter into a single agreement with the applicable Sponsor for our advisory services, as well as other bundled services. For a single “wrap” fee (which is paid to the Sponsor and the Sponsor
then pays a portion to us) the Sponsors offer our investment advisory services to their separately managed account clients and are generally, depending on the program, primarily responsible for: i. Monitoring and evaluating our performance; ii. Executing client portfolio transactions typically without additional commission charge (except that the client will be charged an added commission charge if we use a broker other than the Sponsor to execute trades); FORM ADV, PART 2A EATON VANCE MANAGEMENT5 iii. Providing custodial services for clients’ assets; iv. Ensuring adherence to client guidelines, restrictions and/or client instructions; and/or v. Providing tax management services. We participate in certain Wrap Fee Programs pursuant to which we provide the Sponsors with a model portfolio that represents the securities we recommend in accordance with a particular investment strategy (the “Model Portfolio”). In most instances, we will communicate our recommendations comprising the Model Portfolio, and any changes thereto, to the Sponsors, who serve as investment advisers to the Wrap Fee Program clients and are responsible for implementation of any client-specific investment restrictions and for determining the suitability of our investment strategy for the client. In most instances, unless otherwise agreed, the Sponsor will exercise investment discretion with respect to securities that are purchased or sold for clients of such Model Portfolio Wrap Fee Programs and will be responsible for executing trades and seeking best execution for such Wrap Fee Program accounts. In addition to offering our advisory services through Wrap Fee Programs in the manner described above, certain separately managed accounts are offered to retail investors through what’s known as “dual contract arrangements” (a client will pay the Sponsor a fee and will also pay Eaton Vance an advisory fee) in which a Sponsor and its client enter into an agreement with regard to the Sponsor’s overall management of the client’s assets pursuant to which the Sponsor identifies managers that offer particular strategies or products that the Sponsor believes are suitable for each client. Either the Sponsor or the client then selects the particular strategy or product and the applicable manager to manage portions of the client’s portfolio. In a “dual contract” arrangement, Eaton Vance generally has separate agreements with the Sponsor and each applicable client, the latter of which outlines the scope and limitations of the advisory relationship between Eaton Vance and the client. In such arrangements, the Sponsor, who itself has a client relationship with the client, and/or the client are generally responsible for determining whether a strategy offered by Eaton Vance is suitable and appropriate for the client based on its investment objectives, risk tolerance and financial situation. Under these arrangements, the client can impose restrictions on investing in certain securities through the Sponsor or Eaton Vance, if applicable. For further discussion on the impacts of restrictions on trading, please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices, “Directed, Restricted or Constrained Brokerage Arrangements; Wrap Fee Programs”. Further Information For additional information regarding the specific investment strategies we employ please refer to Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss.
