(1) A portion of each applicable common stock for which a written call option is outstanding at March 31, 2014 has been pledged as collateral for such written option.

(2) Non-income producing security.

(3) 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 March 31, 2014. Net income allocated from the investment in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC for the fiscal year to date ended March 31, 2014 was $3,253.

(4) Amount is less than (0.05)%.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at March 31, 2014, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

Aggregate cost $
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 103,350,900
Gross unrealized depreciation (6,564,111 )
Net unrealized appreciation $ 96,786,789

Written options activity for the fiscal year to date ended March 31, 2014 was as follows:

Outstanding, beginning of period 41,585 $ 4,572,251
Options written 84,515 7,944,067

Options expired (41,270 ) (4,164,089 )
Outstanding, end of period 46,665 $ 4,073,651

At March 31, 2014, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund writes covered call options on individual stocks above the current value of the stock to generate premium income. In writing call options on individual stocks, the Fund in effect, sells potential appreciation in the value of the applicable stock above the exercise price in exchange for the option premium received. The Fund retains the risk of loss, minus the premium received, should the price of the underlying stock decline.

At March 31, 2014, the aggregate fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in a liability position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk was $2,716,338.

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)

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.

At March 31, 2014, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
