(1)

The investment adviser and administrator have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 0.95% for Class A, 1.70% for Class C and 0.70% for Class I. This expense reimbursement will continue through May 31, 2013. Any amendments 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 expenses, taxes or litigation expenses. Amounts reimbursed may be subject to recoupment 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:


	Expenses with Redemption				Expenses without Redemption

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years

Class A shares	$320	$594	$ 962	$1,999	$320	$594	$ 962	$1,999
Class C shares	$273	$609	$1,144	$2,609	$173	$609	$1,144	$2,609
Class I shares	$72	$299	$ 621	$1,535	$72	$299	$ 621	$1,535

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 202% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund normally 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 (which are those rated AA or higher by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group ("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, i.e. "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 5 - 7 years and an average weighted 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 duration, including the acquisition of municipal obligations at a premium or discount. The Fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents.

In implementing the Fund’s investment strategy, the portfolio managers will identify certain benchmark ratios that the managers believe represent efficient pricing of Municipal Securities in relation to Taxable Municipal, Treasury and Agency Securities with similar durations. Such ratios are primarily a function of the respective yields of Municipal, Taxable Municipal, Treasury and Agency Securities. When the prices of Municipal Securities deviate from such benchmark ratios, the portfolio managers may deem such securities to be overvalued or undervalued in relation to Taxable Municipal, Treasury and Agency Securities, depending on the nature of the price deviation, and may adjust the Fund’s asset mix among Municipal, Taxable Municipal, Treasury and Agency Securities as deemed consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund’s Municipal/Taxable Municipal/Treasury/Agency cross-over strategy is primarily quantitatively driven and generally will be implemented when pricing ratios so dictate, subject to market conditions and the ability to execute transactions in sufficient volume and at desired prices. Execution of the cross-over strategy may be affected if it is anticipated that there will be changes in tax rates or regulations governing Municipal Securities such that a change in relative yield relationships is likely, thereby causing a change in benchmark trading ratios. Allocation decisions will generally be influenced by a tax requirement that at least 50% of the Fund’s total assets be invested in Municipal Securities as of the end of each fiscal quarter in order to pass tax-exempt income to Fund shareholders. The portfolio managers generally will seek to enhance after-tax total return by actively engaging in relative value trading within the portfolio to take advantage of price appreciation opportunities in the markets for Municipal, Taxable Municipal, Treasury and Agency Securities.

The investment adviser’s process for selecting Municipal Securities for purchase and sale generally includes consideration of the creditworthiness of the issuer or person obligated to repay the obligation. In evaluating creditworthiness, the investment adviser considers ratings assigned by rating agencies and generally performs additional credit and investment analysis.

Principal Risks

Municipal Bond Market Risk. The amount of public information available about municipal bonds is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds and the investment performance of the Fund may be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the investment adviser than would be the case for a stock fund or corporate bond fund. The secondary market for municipal bonds also tends to be less well-developed and less liquid than many other securities markets, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to sell its bonds at attractive prices. In addition, municipal obligations can experience downturns in trading activity and the supply of municipal obligations may exceed the demand in the market. During such periods, the spread can widen between the


Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund	2	Summary Prospectus dated June 1, 2011

price at which an obligation can be purchased and the price at which it can be sold. Less liquid obligations can become more difficult to value and be subject to erratic price movements. Economic and other events (whether real or perceived) can reduce the demand for certain investments or for investments generally, which may reduce market prices and cause the value of Fund shares to fall. The frequency and magnitude of such changes cannot be predicted. The increased presence of non-traditional participants or the absence of traditional participants in the municipal markets may lead to greater volatility in the markets.

Risk of U.S. Government-Sponsored Agencies. While certain U.S. Government-sponsored agencies (such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Fannie Mae) may be chartered or sponsored by acts of Congress, their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.

Interest Rate Risk. As interest rates rise, the value of Fund shares is likely to decline. Conversely, when interest rates decline, the value of Fund shares is likely to rise. Obligations with longer maturities typically offer higher yields, but involve greater risk because the prices of such obligations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities. In a declining interest rate environment, prepayments of obligations may increase if the issuer has the ability to pre-pay or "call" the obligation. In such circumstances, the Fund may have to reinvest the prepayment proceeds at lower yields.

Credit Risk. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may reduce the capacity of issuers of fixed income securities to make principal and interest payments and may lead to defaults. Such defaults may reduce the value of Fund shares and income distributions. The value of a fixed income security also may decline because of real or perceived concerns about the issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments. In addition, the credit rating of securities held by the Fund may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes. Municipal obligations may be insured as to principal and interest payments. If the claims-paying ability or other rating of the insurer is downgraded by a rating agency, the value of such obligations may be negatively affected. In the case of an insured bond, the bond’s rating will be deemed to be the higher of the rating assigned to the bond’s issuer or the insurer.

Risk Associated with Limited Issuance. Under the Act the ability of municipalities to issue Build America Bonds expired on December 31, 2010 and there can be no certainty as to whether future legislation will be enacted that would again permit such issuance. Since the enactment of the Act, approximately $180 billion in Build America Bonds has been issued by municipalities. Given the limited issuance of Build America Bonds, they may not be actively traded. In addition, illiquidity may negatively affect the value of the bonds.

Risks of Principal Only Investments. Principal only investments entitle the holder to receive par value of such investment if held to maturity. The values of principal only investments are subject to greater fluctuation in response to changes in market interest rates than bonds which pay interest currently. The Fund will accrue income on these investments and is required to distribute that income each year. The Fund may be required to sell securities to obtain cash needed for such income distributions.

Tax Risk. Income from tax-exempt municipal obligations could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, or non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.

Risks Associated with Quantitative Management. The Fund relies on its investment adviser to achieve its investment objective. The investment adviser uses quantitative investment techniques and analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no assurance that these will achieve the desired results. The Fund's strategy is highly dependent on quantitatively-based pricing theories and valuation models that generally have not been independently tested or otherwise reviewed.

General Fund Investing Risks. The Fund is not a complete investment program and you may lose money by investing in the Fund. All investments carry a certain amount of risk and there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to achieve its investment objective. In general, the Annual Fund Operating Expenses expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets will change as Fund assets increase and decrease, and the Fund’s Annual Fund Operating Expenses may differ in the future. Purchase and redemption activities by Fund shareholders may impact the management of the Fund and its ability to achieve its investment objective. Investors in the Fund should have a long-term investment perspective and be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines in value. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, entity or person.

Performance

Performance history will be available for the Fund after the Fund has been in operation for one calendar year.
