Tax-Managed
Growth Portfolio
June 30, 2012
Notes
to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1 Significant
Accounting Policies
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a Massachusetts
business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The Portfolios investment
objective is to achieve long-term, after-tax returns for
interestholders through investing in a diversified portfolio of
equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees
to issue interests in the Portfolio. At June 30, 2012,
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.0, Eaton Vance
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1, Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Growth
Fund 1.2 and Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Equity Asset
Allocation held an interest of 7.5%, 14.0%, 5.6%, and 1.4%
respectively, in the Portfolio. In addition, an unregistered
fund advised by the adviser to the Portfolio held 71.5% interest
in the Portfolio.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of
the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A Investment
Valuation 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. The value of preferred equity securities that are valued
by a pricing service on a bond basis will be adjusted by an
income factor, to be determined by the investment adviser, to
reflect the next anticipated regular dividend. The daily
valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities generally is
determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange
on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close
of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the
valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their
fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York
Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet
certain criteria, the Portfolios Trustees have approved
the use of a fair value service that values such securities to
reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the
applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other
instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued
securities. 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. Short-term debt obligations purchased with a remaining
maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized
cost, which approximates market value. If short-term debt
securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than
sixty days, they will be valued by a pricing service.
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 Portfolio in a manner that
fairly reflects the securitys value, or the amount that
the Portfolio 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 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
securitys 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 companys or entitys 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 Portfolio 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
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for
dividends received in cash
and/or
securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain
dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio
is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on
foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in
accordance with the Portfolios understanding of the
applicable countries tax rules and rates. Interest income
is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for
amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
D Federal
Taxes The Portfolio has elected to be treated
as a partnership for federal tax purposes. No provision is made
by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on any taxable
income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio
is ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its
share of taxable income. If at least one of the Portfolios
investors is a regulated investment company that invests all or
substantially all of its assets in the Portfolio, the Portfolio
normally must satisfy the applicable source of income and
diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code)
in order for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will
allocate, at least annually among its investors, each
investors distributive share of the Portfolios net
investment income, net realized capital gains and any other
items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
37
Tax-Managed
Growth Portfolio
June 30, 2012
Notes
to Financial Statements (Unaudited) continued
As of June 30, 2012, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax
positions that would require financial statement recognition,
de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio files a U.S.
federal tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is
subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a
period of three years from the date of filing.
E Expense
Reduction State Street Bank and
Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Portfolio.
Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced
by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash
balance the Portfolio maintains with SSBT. All credit balances,
if any, used to reduce the Portfolios 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 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.
H Indemnifications
Under the Portfolios organizational documents, its
officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain
liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Portfolio. Under Massachusetts law, if certain
conditions prevail, interestholders in the Portfolio could be
deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the
Portfolio. However, the Portfolios Declaration of Trust
contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of
Portfolio interestholders and the By-laws provide that the
Portfolio shall assume the defense on behalf of any Portfolio
interestholder. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for
indemnification out of Portfolio property of any interestholder
held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been
an interestholder for all loss or expense arising from such
liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the
Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may
contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolios maximum
exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio
that have not yet occurred.
I Prior Period
Adjustments Subsequent to the issuance of the
2011 financial statements, management of Tax-Managed Growth
Portfolio determined that the Portfolios capital
transactions were misstated in the prior year as a result of
misstatements in the recording of contributions and withdrawals.
The correction of these misstatements results in offsetting
decreases to the contributions and the withdrawals within the
Statements of Changes in Net Assets of approximately
$902,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. These changes
had no effect on the Portfolios net assets, net decrease
in net assets from capital transactions, financial highlights,
total return, taxable income or taxable realized gain (loss) of
the Portfolio.
J Interim Financial
Statements The interim financial statements
relating to June 30, 2012 and for the six months then ended
have not been audited by an independent registered public
accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Portfolios
management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of
the financial statements.
2 Investment
Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and
Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, as compensation for
investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. The fee
is computed at an annual rate of 0.625% of the Portfolios
average daily net assets up to $500 million. The advisory
fee on net assets of $500 million or more is reduced as

Growth Portfolio
June 30, 2012
Notes
to Financial Statements (Unaudited) continued
The Portfolio invests its cash in Cash Reserves Fund. EVM
does not currently receive a fee for advisory services provided
to Cash Reserves Fund. For the six months ended June 30,
2012, the Portfolios investment adviser fee amounted to
$19,284,827, or 0.46% (annualized) of the Portfolios
average daily net assets.
Except for Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of
EVMs or BMRs organizations, officers and Trustees
receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of
the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio who are
not affiliated with the investment adviser 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 June 30, 2012, no
significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and
Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above
organizations.
3 Purchases
and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term
obligations, aggregated $111,625,412 and $62,110,312,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. In
addition, investors contributed securities with a value of
$13,067,285 and investments having an aggregate market value of
$576,490,461 at dates of withdrawal were distributed in payment
for capital withdrawals, during the six months ended
June 30, 2012.
4 Federal

5 Line
of Credit
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds
managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $600 million
unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks.
Borrowings are made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate the
handling of unusual
and/or
unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged
to the Portfolio based on its borrowings at an amount above
either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a
fee computed at an annual rate of 0.08% on the daily unused
portion of the line of credit is allocated among the
participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter.
Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the
Portfolio, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its
requested amounts at any particular time. The Portfolio did not
have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six
months ended June 30, 2012.
6 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 funds own assumptions in determining the fair
value of investments)
|
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level
disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The
inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing
in those securities.

7 Legal
Proceedings
In November 2010, the Portfolio was named as defendant and
a putative member of the proposed defendant class of
shareholders in the case entitled Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors (UCC) of the Tribune Company v. FitzSimons,
et al. as a result of its ownership of shares in the Tribune
Company (Tribune) in 2007 when Tribune effected a leveraged
buyout transaction (LBO) and was converted to a privately held
company. The UCC seeks to recover payments of the proceeds of
the LBO. This adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court has
been stayed pending further order of the Bankruptcy Court. The
value of the proceeds received by the Portfolio is approximately
$48,237,000 (equal to 0.58% of net assets at June 30, 2012).
In addition, on June 2, 2011, another group of Tribune
creditors filed multiple actions involving state law
constructive fraudulent conveyance claims against former Tribune
shareholders. The Portfolio also has been named in one or more
of these lawsuits.
The Portfolio cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings or
the effect, if any, on the Portfolios net asset value. The
attorneys fees and costs related to these actions will be
expensed by the Portfolio as incurred.

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
continuation is approved at least annually by the funds
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 23, 2012, 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 by each
adviser to the Eaton Vance Funds (including information
specifically requested by the Board) for a series of meetings of
the Contract Review Committee held between February and
April 2012, as well as information considered during prior
meetings of the committee. Such information included, among

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, 2012, 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 ten, nineteen,
seven, eight and fourteen times respectively. At such meetings,
the Trustees participated in investment and performance reviews
with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals
of each adviser relating to each fund. The Board and its
Committees considered the investment and trading strategies used
in pursuing each funds investment objective, including,
where relevant, the use of derivative instruments, as well as
risk management techniques. The Board and its Committees also
evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory
developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other
issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated
in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management
and other fund advisers with respect to such matters.
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 funds 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 continuation of the investment advisory
agreement of Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the
Portfolio), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.1 (the Fund) invests,
with Boston Management and Research (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 Portfolio.
Nature,
Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory
agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature,
extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the
Adviser.
The Board considered the Advisers management capabilities
and investment process with respect to the types of investments
held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and
number of its investment professionals and other personnel who
provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar
services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted the
Advisers in-house equity research capabilities and
experience in managing funds that seek to maximize after-tax
returns. 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
Portfolio by senior management.
The Board 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, including the
ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among
different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

Tax-Managed
Growth Fund 1.1
June 30, 2012
Board
of Trustees Contract Approval continued
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.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Funds investment performance to a
relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an
independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The
Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-,
three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2011
for the Fund. 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 Portfolio and by the Fund (referred to as
management fees). As part of its review, the Board
considered the management fees and the Funds total expense
ratio for the year ended September 30, 2011, 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 taken by management in recent years to reduce
expenses at the Eaton Vance fund complex level, including the
negotiation of reduced fees for transfer agency and custody
services.
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, to the Portfolio and to
all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level
of profits realized 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 and
its affiliates in connection with their relationships with the
Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research
services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of
securities transactions effected for the Portfolio 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 and the Portfolio, on the other
hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as
the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio 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
reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the
assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over
various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the
total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the
Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such
increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board
concluded that the Fund currently shares in the benefits from
economies of scale. The Board also concluded that, assuming
reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Fund and
the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes
breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow the Fund and the
Portfolio to continue to benefit from economies of scale in the
future.

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
continuation is approved at least annually by the funds
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 23, 2012, 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

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, 2012, 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 ten, nineteen,
seven, eight and fourteen times respectively. At such meetings,
the Trustees participated in investment and performance reviews
with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals
of each adviser relating to each fund. The Board and its
Committees considered the investment and trading strategies used
in pursuing each funds investment objective, including,
where relevant, the use of derivative instruments, as well as
risk management techniques. The Board and its Committees also
evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory
developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other
issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated
in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management
and other fund advisers with respect to such matters.
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 funds 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 continuation of the investment advisory
agreement of Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the
Portfolio), the portfolio in which Eaton Vance
Tax-Managed Growth Fund 1.2 (the Fund) invests,
with Boston Management and Research (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 Portfolio.
Nature,
Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory
agreement of the Portfolio, the Board evaluated the nature,
extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by the
Adviser.
The Board considered the Advisers management capabilities
and investment process with respect to the types of investments
held by the Portfolio, including the education, experience and
number of its investment professionals and other personnel who
provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar
services to the Portfolio. The Board specifically noted the
Advisers in-house equity research capabilities and
experience in managing funds that seek to maximize after-tax
returns. 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
Portfolio by senior management.
The Board 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, including the
ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among
different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

Board
of Trustees Contract Approval continued
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.
Fund Performance
The Board compared the Funds investment performance to a
relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an
independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The
Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-,
three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2011
for the Fund. The Board noted the Funds favorable
longer-term performance record, and considered various factors
that contributed to the Funds underperformance during more
recent periods, including stock selection, sector allocation,
and investments in large-capitalization equities. The Board also
considered that the Adviser had taken steps to improve
performance by restructuring key aspects of its equity group,
including staffing modifications, as well as changes to the
groups internal management, research, risk oversight and
investment processes. The Board noted that these actions were
ongoing and concluded that additional time is required to
evaluate the effectiveness of such actions.
Management
Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates,
including administrative fee rates, payable by the Portfolio and
by the Fund (referred to as management fees). As
part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and
the Funds total expense ratio for the year ended
September 30, 2011, 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 taken by
management in recent years to reduce expenses at the Eaton Vance
fund complex level, including the negotiation of reduced fees
for transfer agency and custody services.
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, to the Portfolio and to
all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level
of profits realized 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 and
its affiliates in connection with their relationships with the
Fund and the Portfolio, including the benefits of research
services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of
securities transactions effected for the Portfolio 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 and the Portfolio, on the other
hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as
the assets of the Fund and the Portfolio 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
reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the
assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over
various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the
total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the
Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such
increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board
concluded that the Fund currently shares in the benefits from
economies of scale. The Board also concluded that, assuming
reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of the Fund and
the Portfolio, the structure of the advisory fee, which includes
breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow the Fund and the
Portfolio to continue to benefit from economies of scale in the
future.
