Important Note. Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund’s website (eatonvance.com/nextsharesdocuments), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website address to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by contacting your financial intermediary (such as a financial advisor, broker-dealer or bank).

You may elect to receive all future Fund shareholder reports in paper free of charge. You can contact your financial intermediary or follow instructions included with this disclosure, if applicable, to elect to continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held through your financial intermediary.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of the Fund. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Fund is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, the Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.

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.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing in NextShares, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-262-1122.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance¹

Economic and Market Conditions

The 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, was marked by strong performance across the municipal bond market, with the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,² a broad measure of the asset class, returning 8.65%. The municipal bond yield curve⁹ experienced a so-called “bull market flattening”, where rates declined across the curve, but more so toward the long end of the curve. With investors searching for yield in a low-rate environment, lower rated⁸ bonds generally outperformed higher rated bonds, while longer duration¹⁰ issues outperformed shorter duration issues.

As the period opened on February 1, 2019, investors were concerned about a growing U.S.-China trade war. Following its December 19, 2018 federal funds rate hike — the last one on record — the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) lowered its projected number of rate increases for 2019 from three to two, which some investors viewed as indicating weakness in the U.S. economy. The result was a “flight to quality” by investors seeking the relative safety of fixed-income securities over stocks, initiating a bond rally that pushed longer term bond prices up and yields down.

The fixed-income rally continued through the spring and summer of 2019, propelled by lower-than-desired inflation, low European interest rates, on-again/off-again trade-conflict rhetoric, and Fed comments in March that were more dovish than the market had expected — leading many investors to conclude that further rate hikes were off the table for 2019. After holding interest rates steady through the first half of the period, the Fed cut the federal funds rate for the first time in over a decade on July 31, 2019, followed by two more rate cuts in September and October to end the period at 1.50%-1.75%.

In the middle and long portions of the yield curve — where rates are influenced more by the market than the Fed — rates bottomed at the beginning of September. From September 3 through the end of December, U.S. and European interest rates trended modestly upward, amid better-than-expected U.S. employment reports and cautious optimism about a U.S.-China trade détente.

Two events in the final month of the period, January 2020, raised investor concerns and led to a renewed “flight to quality” that revived the bond market rally. On January 2, the assassination of Iran’s top military commander by a U.S. drone strike briefly raised the specter of a U.S.-Iran military conflict. More lasting was the effect of the coronavirus outbreak in China, which threatened to slow global economic growth for possibly months.

Within the municipal bond market, technical factors amplified the price rally during the period. The 2017 tax law changes resulted in a combination of lower supply of new municipal issues and increased demand from high-income investors in high-tax states who had seen their tax bills rise under the revised code.

Fund Performance

For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2020, Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond NextShares (the Fund) returned 7.92% at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 10 Year Municipal Bond Index (the Index), which returned 8.61%.

The Index is unmanaged and returns do not reflect any applicable sales charges, commissions, or expenses.

The Fund provides rules-based, approximately equal-weighted exposure in each year across the 5-15 year maturity portion of the yield curve, with the objective of seeking current income exempt from regular federal income tax. Management seeks to add incremental return through active security selection and in-depth credit analysis.

During the period, yield-curve positioning and duration detracted from Fund performance versus the Index. While the Index was entirely positioned in the 8-12 year area of the yield curve, the Fund was approximately equally weighted across the yield curve from 5 through 15 years. The Fund’s out-of Index holdings in the 5-7 year area of the curve underperformed the Index holdings in the longer maturity area of the curve and, thus, detracted from results relative to the Index.

In addition, the Fund had a shorter duration, or sensitivity to interest rate changes, than the Index during the period. This detracted from relative performance because the Fund benefited less than the Index from declining interest rates and rising bond prices during the period. The Fund’s duration positioning was a by-product of the Fund’s rules-based, equal-weighted yield-curve positioning.

In contrast, security selection and credit quality contributed to Fund performance versus the Index during the period. Active security selection — management’s work with credit analysts to pick sectors, issuers, and individual bonds to invest in — was the largest contributor to results relative to the Index.

With regard to credit quality, the Fund’s overweight exposure to A- and BBB-rated bonds aided relative performance, as lower rated bonds outperformed higher rated bonds during the period.

See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 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 indicated. The Fund’s performance at market price will differ from its results at net asset value (NAV). The market price used to calculate the Market Price return is the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. If you trade your shares at another time during the day, your return may differ. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested at NAV or closing market price (as applicable) on the payment date of the distribution, and are net of management fees and other expenses. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted. Performance less than or equal to one year is cumulative. For performance as of the most recent month-end, including historical trading premiums/discounts relative to NAV, please refer to eatonvance.com.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward-looking statements.” The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward-looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Shares of NextShares funds are normally bought and sold in the secondary market through a broker, and may not be individually purchased or redeemed from the fund. In the secondary market, buyers and sellers transact with each other, rather than with the fund. NextShares funds issue and redeem shares only in specified creation unit quantities in transactions by or through Authorized Participants. In such transactions, a fund issues and redeems shares in exchange for the basket of securities, other instruments and/or cash that the fund specifies each business day. By transacting in kind, a NextShares fund can lower its trading costs and enhance fund tax efficiency by avoiding forced sales of securities to meet redemptions. Redemptions may be effected partially or entirely in cash when in-kind delivery is not practicable or deemed not in the best interests of shareholders. A fund’s basket is not intended to be representative of the fund’s current portfolio positions and may vary significantly from current positions. As exchange-traded securities, NextShares can operate with low transfer agency expenses by utilizing the same highly efficient share processing system as used for exchange-listed stocks and ETFs.

Market trading prices of NextShares are linked to the fund’s next-computed net asset value (NAV) and will vary from NAV by a market-determined premium or discount, which may be zero. Buyers and sellers of NextShares will not know the value of their purchases and sales until after the fund’s NAV is determined at the end of the trading day. Market trading prices may vary significantly from anticipated levels. NextShares do not offer investors the opportunity to buy and sell intraday based on current (versus end-of-day) determinations of fund value. NextShares trade execution prices will fluctuate based on changes in NAV. Although limit orders may be used to control trading costs, they cannot be used to control or limit trade execution prices. As a new type of fund, NextShares have a limited operating history and may initially be available through a limited number of brokers. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for NextShares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue unchanged. Buying and selling NextShares may require payment of brokerage commissions and expose transacting shareholders to other trading costs. Frequent trading may detract from realized investment returns. The return on a shareholder’s NextShares investment will be reduced if the shareholder sells shares at a greater discount or narrower premium to NAV than he or she acquired the shares.

Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Bloomberg Barclays 10 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 8-12 years. Bloomberg Barclays 15 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 12-17 years. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

⁴

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a separate investment fund (the Portfolio). The returns at NAV for periods before the date the Fund commenced operations are for a mutual fund that invests in the Portfolio (the Portfolio Investor). The performance during such period does not represent the performance of the Fund. The prior investment performance of the Portfolio Investor (rather than the Portfolio itself) is shown because it reflects the expenses typically borne by a retail fund investing in the Portfolio. The Portfolio Investor returns are not adjusted to reflect differences between the total net operating expenses of the Fund and the Portfolio Investor during the periods shown. If such an adjustment were made, the performance presented would be higher, because the Fund’s total net operating expenses are lower than those of the Portfolio Investor. Performance is for a share class of the Portfolio Investor offered at net asset value. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked.

Prior to April 15, 2015, the Portfolio Investor had a different name and investment objective and employed a different investment strategy from the Portfolio Investor’s current investment strategy. Performance prior to April 15, 2015 reflects the Portfolio Investor’s performance under its former investment objective and policies.

⁵	Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratio reflects a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 5/31/20. Without the reimbursement, performance would have been lower. The expense ratios for the current reporting period can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

⁶

The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form 1099-DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. The SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. Subsidized yield reflects the effect of fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

⁷	The Fund primarily invests in an affiliated investment company (Portfolio) with substantially the same objective(s) and policies as the Fund and may also invest directly. Unless otherwise noted, references to investments are to the aggregate holdings of the Fund and the Portfolio.

⁸

Ratings are based on Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” (if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above.

⁹

Yield curve is a graphical representation of the yields offered by bonds of various maturities. The yield curve flattens when long-term interest rates fall and/or short-term interest rates increase, and the yield curve steepens when long-term interest rates increase and/or short-term interest rates fall.

¹⁰	Duration is a measure of the expected change in price of a bond — in percentage terms — given a one percent change in interest rates, all else being constant. Securities with lower durations tend to be less sensitive to interest rate changes.

Fund profile subject to change due to active management.

Important Notice to Shareholders

The Fund’s investment adviser, Eaton Vance Management (EVM), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. (EVC). Effective January 15, 2020, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved the delegation of the day-to-day investment management of the Fund to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EVC. On such date, Parametric became the sub-adviser of the Fund. There has been no change in portfolio management for the Fund. The Fund’s portfolio managers from EVM became employees of Parametric in connection with these changes.

Fund Expenses

Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2019 – January 31, 2020).

Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.


	Beginning Account Value (8/1/19)		Ending Account Value (1/31/20)		Expenses Paid During Period* (8/1/19 – 1/31/20)			Annualized Expense Ratio

Actual
	$	1,000.00	$	1,029.20	$	1.79	**		0.35	%

Hypothetical
(5% return per year before expenses)
	$	1,000.00	$	1,023.40	$	1.79	**		0.35	%

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on July 31, 2019. The Example reflects the expenses of both the Fund and the Portfolio.

**	Absent an allocation of certain expenses to affiliates, expenses would be higher.

1 Significant Accounting Policies

Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond NextShares (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance NextShares Trust II (the Trust), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The Fund is an exchange-traded managed fund operating pursuant to an order issued by the SEC granting an exemption from certain provisions of the 1940 Act. Individual shares of the Fund may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange or alternative trading system through a broker-dealer that offers NextShares, and may not be directly purchased or redeemed from the Fund. Market trading prices for the Fund are directly linked to the Fund’s next-computed net asset value per share (NAV) and will vary from NAV by a market-determined premium or discount, which may be zero. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio (the Portfolio), a Massachusetts business trust, having substantially the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. The value of the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (1.0% at January 31, 2020). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.

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 (U.S. GAAP). The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

A Investment Valuation — Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.

B Income — The Fund’s net investment income or loss consists of the Fund’s pro-rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Portfolio, less all actual and accrued expenses of the Fund.

C 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 taxable, if any, and tax-exempt 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. The Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by the Portfolio’s investments in municipal obligations, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by the Portfolio, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.

As of January 31, 2020, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Fund files a U.S. federal income 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.

D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.

E Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

F Indemnifications — Under the Trust’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 Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, 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.

G Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information

It is the present policy of the Fund to make monthly distributions of all or substantially all of its net investment income and to distribute annually all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Distributions are paid in cash and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are 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.

TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond NextShares

January 31, 2020

Notes to Financial Statements — continued

The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019 was as follows:


	Year Ended January 31,
	2020		2019

Tax-exempt income	$	160,790	$	151,340

As of January 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:



Undistributed tax-exempt income	$	13,199

Deferred capital losses	$	(118,987	)

Net unrealized appreciation	$	452,259

At January 31, 2020, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $118,987 which would 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 would 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. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at January 31, 2020, $63,001 are short-term and $55,986 are long-term.

3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.32% of the Fund’s average daily net assets that are not invested in other investment companies for which EVM or its affiliates serve as investment adviser and receive an advisory fee (“Direct Assets”) up to $1 billion and is payable monthly. On Direct Assets of $1 billion and over, the annual fee is reduced. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Fund incurred no investment adviser fee on Direct Assets. To the extent the Fund’s assets are invested in the Portfolio, the Fund is allocated its share of the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See Note 2 of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. EVM also serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation.

Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement effective January 15, 2020, EVM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp. EVM pays Parametric a portion of its investment adviser fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund.

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an operations agreement with EVM pursuant to which EVM provides the Fund with services required for it to operate as a NextShares exchange-traded managed fund in accordance with the exemptive order obtained by EVM and the Trust. Pursuant to the agreement, the Fund pays EVM a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets provided the average net assets of NextShares funds sponsored by EVM (“Covered Assets”) are less than $10 billion. The annual rate is reduced if Covered Assets are $10 billion and above. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the operations agreement fee amounted to $3,630 or 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

EVM and Parametric have agreed to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only) exceed 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets through May 31, 2020. Thereafter, the reimbursement may be changed or terminated at any time. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and Parametric were allocated $100,777 in total of the Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended January 31, 2020.

Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund and the Portfolio are officers of the above organizations.

4 Investment Transactions

For the year ended January 31, 2020, increases and decreases in the Fund’s investment in the Portfolio aggregated $88,717 and $224,537, respectively. In addition, a Portfolio transaction fee is imposed by the Portfolio on the combined daily inflows or outflows of the Fund and the Portfolio’s other investors as more fully described at Note 1H of the Portfolio’s financial statements included herein. Such fee is allocated to the Fund based on its pro-rata interest in the Portfolio. The amount of the Portfolio transaction fee imposed on the Fund, if any, and the allocation of such fee are presented as Other capital on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

5 Capital Share Transactions

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of capital stock (no par value per share) in one or more series (such as the Fund). The Fund issues and redeems shares only in blocks of 25,000 shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). The Fund issues and redeems Creation Units in return for the securities, other instruments and/or cash (the “Basket”) that the Fund specifies each business day. Creation Units may be purchased or redeemed only by or through Authorized Participants, which are broker-dealers or institutional investors that have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor for this purpose. The Fund imposes a transaction fee on Creation Units issued and redeemed to offset the estimated cost to the Fund of processing the transaction, which is paid by the Authorized Participants directly to a third-party administrator. In addition, Authorized Participants pay the Fund a variable charge for converting the Basket to or from the desired portfolio composition. Such variable charges are reflected as Transaction fees on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

At January 31, 2020, EVM owned approximately 95.6% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

6 Subsequent Event

An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this coronavirus may last for an extended period of time and through March 20, 2020, the date these financial statements were issued, has resulted in substantial market volatility and may result in a significant economic downturn.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Eaton Vance NextShares Trust II and Shareholders of Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond NextShares:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond NextShares (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance NextShares Trust II), as of January 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, March 30, 2016, to January 31, 2017, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2020, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, March 30, 2016, to January 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

1 Significant Accounting Policies

5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond 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 Portfolio’s investment objective is to seek current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests in the Portfolio. At January 31, 2020, Parametric TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund) and Eaton Vance TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond NextShares held an interest of 99.0% and 1.0%, respectively, 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 (U.S. GAAP). The Portfolio is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.

Debt Obligations. Debt obligations 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 ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, 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. Short-term debt obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Fair Valuation. 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 most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is 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 security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable 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 entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.

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.

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. Since at least one of the Portfolio’s 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 investor’s distributive share of the Portfolio’s net investment income, net realized capital gains and losses and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.

As of January 31, 2020, the Portfolio had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Portfolio files a U.S. federal income 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.

F Indemnifications — Under the Portfolio’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 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 Portfolio’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Portfolio interestholders. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s 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.

G When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Portfolio maintains cash and/or security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will

be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

H Capital Transactions — To seek to protect the Portfolio (and, indirectly, other investors in the Portfolio) against the costs of accommodating investor inflows and outflows, the Portfolio imposes a fee (“Portfolio transaction fee”) on inflows and outflows by Portfolio investors. The Portfolio transaction fee is sized to cover the estimated cost to the Portfolio of, in connection with issuing interests, converting the cash and/or other instruments it receives to the desired composition and, in connection with redeeming its interests, converting Portfolio holdings to cash and/or other instruments to be distributed. Such fee, which may vary over time, is limited to amounts that have been authorized by the Board of Trustees and determined by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) to be appropriate. The maximum Portfolio transaction fee is 2% of the amount of net contributions or withdrawals. The Portfolio transaction fee is recorded as a component of capital transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

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 0.32% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and at reduced rates on average daily net assets of $1 billion or more, and is payable monthly. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Portfolio’s investment adviser fee amounted to $2,132,713 or 0.32% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, BMR pays Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Eaton Vance Corp., a portion of its investment adviser fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Portfolio. Pursuant to a voluntary expense reimbursement, BMR and Parametric were allocated $54,130 in total of the Portfolio’s operating expenses for the year ended January 31, 2020.

Trustees and officers of the Portfolio who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations 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 year ended January 31, 2020, 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 $266,132,417 and $183,615,370, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2020.

4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Portfolio at January 31, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:



Aggregate cost	$	665,472,000

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	43,239,221

Gross unrealized depreciation		—

Net unrealized appreciation	$	43,239,221

5 Line of Credit

The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in an $800 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 27, 2020. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 29, 2019, funds managed by Calvert Research and Management, an affiliate of EVM, were added as participating funds to the agreement and the borrowing limit was increased from $625 million. 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 0.15% 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 year ended January 31, 2020.

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 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 January 31, 2020, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Portfolio’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:


Asset Description	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Tax-Exempt Investments	$	—	$	708,711,221	$	—	$	708,711,221

Total Investments	$	—	$	708,711,221	$	—	$	708,711,221

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees and Investors of 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, March 28, 2016, to January 31, 2017, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of January 31, 2020, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and the period from the start of business, March 28, 2016, to January 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Portfolio is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 for a fund to enter into an investment advisory agreement with an investment adviser, the fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“independent trustees”), must approve the agreement and its terms at an in-person meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.

At a meeting held on December 10 and 11, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the “Board”) of the registered investment companies (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (together, “Eaton Vance”), including a majority of the independent trustees (the “Independent Trustees”), voted to approve new investment sub-advisory agreements between Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”) and Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC (“PPA”), an affiliate of Eaton Vance, with respect to Eaton Vance 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond NextShares (the “Fund”), and between Boston Management and Research (“BMR”) and PPA with respect to 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), the portfolio in which the Fund invests, including their respective fee structures (together, the “New Sub-advisory Agreements”). EVM, with respect to the Fund, and BMR, with respect to the Portfolio, are each referred to herein as the “Adviser” as the context requires.

As of the date of the Meeting, the Board noted that EVM served as the investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative agreement, and that BMR served as the investment adviser to the Portfolio pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”). The Board also noted that each Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser may employ one or more investment sub-advisers to perform advisory services for the Fund and the Portfolio, as applicable, subject to required approvals, including by the Board. Based on information provided to the Board by Eaton Vance at the Meeting, the Board’s approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreements permits PPA to be appointed as a sub-adviser to both the Fund and the Portfolio, and enables the Fund and the Portfolio to continue their respective investment programs. The Board noted that EVM, BMR and PPA are each indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same parent company, Eaton Vance Corp. (“EVC”).

At the Meeting, and prior to voting its approval of the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board received information from Eaton Vance regarding a strategic initiative previously announced by EVC whereby, among other initiates, members of Eaton Vance’s Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies (“TABS”) division and Quantitative Strategies (“QS”) group would be joining PPA (the “Transition”). The Board considered information from Eaton Vance regarding the Transition, noting that the Transition was intended to strengthen EVC’s leadership positions in rules-based, systematic investment strategies. The Board received information that, in connection with the Transition, the Advisers would continue providing investment services to the Fund and the Portfolio, as applicable, pursuant to the Advisory Agreements, and PPA would provide portfolio management services to the Fund and the Portfolio pursuant to the New Sub-advisory Agreements.

In considering the proposal to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed information furnished for the Meeting, as well as information previously furnished throughout the year at the meetings of the Board and its committees. In this connection, the Board also considered information evaluated by the Board and its Contract Review Committee in determining to approve investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds at the meeting of the Board held on April 24, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Contract Renewal”). As part of this review, the Board considered information provided by Eaton Vance and its affiliates during the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal relating to the Board’s approval of the Advisory Agreements.

The Board was assured that the Transition would not result in, among other things, any changes to the nature or level of services currently being provided by the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement, which, following the Transition, would be provided collectively by the Adviser and PPA under each Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-advisory Agreements, respectively. In this regard, the Board considered the investment management related services that PPA will provide, as well as the ongoing services to be provided by each Adviser, including the background and experience of the portfolio management personnel who would continue to manage both the Fund and the Portfolio following the Transition. The Board considered that the individuals primarily responsible for providing portfolio management services to the Fund and the Portfolio, as applicable, under the Advisory Agreements will continue to serve in substantially the same roles, respectively, under each New Sub-advisory Agreement. The Board specifically noted that the terms of each New Sub-advisory Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the standard form used by Eaton Vance with affiliated sub-advisers for other Eaton Vance Funds in the Eaton Vance complex. Accordingly, in addition to the information considered at the Meeting and at prior meetings of the Board, including in connection with the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal, the Board considered relevant information provided by Eaton Vance in connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, as well as approvals of sub-advisory agreements between each Adviser and PPA with respect to other Eaton Vance Funds.

Information considered by the Board relating to the New Sub-advisory Agreements included, among other things, the following (certain information was considered by the Board in connection with the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal):

Information about Fees and Expenses

•

The advisory and related fees to be paid by the Fund and the Portfolio and the sub-advisory fees to be paid by each Adviser to PPA;

•

Comparative information concerning fees charged by other advisers for managing funds similar to the Fund and the Portfolio;

Information about Portfolio Management and Trading

•

Descriptions of the portfolio management services to be provided by PPA under the New Sub-advisory Agreements, as well as the investment strategies and policies to be employed;

•

Information about PPA’s policies and practices with respect to trading, including their processes for seeking best execution of portfolio transactions;

Information about each Adviser and PPA

•

Information regarding the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the Fund and the Portfolio, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing, as applicable, other mutual funds and/or investment accounts;

•

The Code of Ethics of PPA, together with information relating to compliance with, and the administration of, such code;

•

Policies and procedures relating to proxy voting and the handling of corporate actions and class actions;

•

Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance by PPA, including descriptions of its various compliance programs and its record of compliance;

•

Information concerning the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of the Adviser and its affiliates, including PPA;

•

A description of Eaton Vance’s oversight of sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; and

Other Relevant Information

•

The terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements.

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 Board concluded that the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements, including their respective fee structures, are in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In considering whether to approve the New Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by PPA under the New Sub-advisory Agreements.

The Board considered PPA’s management capabilities and investment processes in light of the types of investments held by the Fund and the Portfolio, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who will provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services under the New Sub-advisory Agreements. The Board considered the resources available to PPA in fulfilling its duties under the New Sub-advisory Agreements and the abilities and experience of PPA’s investment professionals in implementing the investment strategies of the Fund and the Porfolio. In this regard, the Board noted that the individuals primarily responsible for providing portfolio management services to the Fund and the Portfolio, as applicable, under the Advisory Agreements will continue to serve in substantially the same roles under each New Sub-advisory Agreement. In particular, the Board considered the abilities and experience of such investment professionals in the TABS and municipal research groups involved in managing the Fund and the Portfolio and other funds and accounts that invest primarily in municipal bonds and employ tax-advantaged bond and laddered strategies. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of PPA as well as other factors, including the reputation and resources of PPA to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of the Fund and the Portfolio.

The Board considered the special attributes of the Fund relative to a traditional mutual fund and the benefits that are expected to be realized from an investment in the Fund, rather than a traditional mutual fund. The Board also considered the resources devoted by the applicable Adviser and its affiliates in developing and maintaining an infrastructure necessary to support the on-going operations of the Fund.

The Board considered the compliance programs of the Advisers and relevant affiliates thereof, including PPA. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities.

After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by PPA, taken as a whole, will be appropriate and consistent with the terms of the New Sub-advisory Agreements.

Performance, Management Fees, Profitability and Economies of Scale

The Board considered the fact that, as part of the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal with respect to the Fund and the Portfolio, the Board had concluded that (i) the management fees payable to the Adviser were reasonable, (ii) the profits being realized by the Adviser and its affiliates were deemed not to be excessive, and (iii) the Fund and the Portfolio currently share in the benefits from economies of scale, if any, when they are realized by the Adviser, and that 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 any economies of scale in the future. With respect to the performance of the Fund as part of the 2019 Annual Contract Renewal, the Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s brief operating history, additional time is required to evaluate Fund performance. In considering whether to approve the New


		36

January 31, 2020

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval — continued

Sub-advisory Agreements, the Board considered the fact that EVM, BMR and PPA are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the same parent company, EVC. The Board also considered that the Transition is not expected to result in any change in the terms of the Advisory Agreements (including the fees payable thereunder), and that the Adviser will be responsible for the payment of all fees to PPA. Accordingly, the Board concluded that the appointment of PPA as a sub-adviser under each New Sub-advisory Agreement is not expected to adversely affect the performance of the Fund or the Portfolio, the reasonableness of the management fees payable by the Fund and the Portfolio, a portion of which will be paid by each Adviser to PPA, the profits to be realized by each Adviser and its affiliates, including PPA, in managing the Fund and the Portfolio, or the extent to which the Fund and the Portfolio can be expected to benefit from economies of scale in the future.

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits delivery of only one copy of fund 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. Your broker may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct your broker otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact your broker. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by your broker.

Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-PORT 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.

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 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant (the “Pre-Approval Policies”). The Pre-Approval Policies establish a framework intended to assist the audit committee in the proper discharge of its pre-approval responsibilities. As a general matter, the Pre-Approval Policies (i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services determined to be pre-approved by the audit committee; and (ii) delineate specific procedures governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process, including the approval and monitoring of audit and non-audit service fees. Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies, it must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee.

The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by the registrant’s audit committee at least annually. The registrant’s audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrant’s principal accountant.

⁽²⁾	Various subsidiaries of Eaton Vance Corp. act in either an investment advisory and/or service provider capacity with respect to the Series and/or their respective “master” funds (if applicable).

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
