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 investment adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of 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 Funds adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. The adviser is also registered as a commodity trading advisor.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
As the 12-month period opened on April 1, 2019, investors were concerned about a growing U.S.-China trade war. In connection with its final 2018 rate hike the previous December, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) had lowered its number of projected interest rate increases in 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 in both the Treasury and municipal bond markets 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 2019, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 25 basis points on July 31, 2019 its first reduction in over a decade and followed with two additional rate cuts in September and October. After those cuts, the federal funds rate was at 1.55%.
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 January 2020 raised investor concerns and led to a renewed flight to quality that briefly revived the bond market rally. On January 2, the assassination of Irans 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.
As the virus turned into a global pandemic in February and March, it ended the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion and brought most of the worlds economies to a standstill. The historically strong correlation between municipal bonds and Treasurys broke down, as economic activity declined dramatically and credit markets, along with equities, plunged in value amid unprecedented volatility. In response, the Fed announced two
emergency rate cuts in March lowering the federal funds rate to 0.00%-0.25% along with other measures designed to support the credit markets through various liquidity programs. These moves helped calm the markets and led municipal bonds to rally in the final days of the period.
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020, the municipal bond yield curve experienced a so-called bull market flattening, where rates declined across the curve, but more so toward the long end of the curve. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a broad measure of the asset class, returned 3.85% for the fiscal year although it declined 3.63% in the final month of the period. Reflecting investors late-period turn to a more conservative approach, municipal bonds with higher credit ratings outperformed lower-rated issues during the period.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020, Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) returned 1.12%, underperforming the 1.69% return of the Funds benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1 Year Municipal Bond Index (the Index).
The Fund invests primarily in municipal obligations that are exempt from regular federal income tax, primarily municipal floating-rate bonds or obligations and fixed-rate municipal obligations with respect to which the Fund enters into agreements to swap the fixed rate for a floating rate. Management did not employ any fixed-rate to floating-rate swaps during the period.
Detractors from Fund performance versus the Index during the period included an underweight position, relative to the Index, in zero-coupon bonds; security selection in AAA- and AA-rated bonds; and a defensive, out-of-Index allocation to municipal variable rate demand obligations, which are short-term cash securities that lagged the Index for a majority of the period.
In contrast, contributors to results versus the Index included security selection in the industrial development revenue sector; security selection in the health care sector; and an allocation to bonds with longer maturities than those in the Index which is limited to bonds with 1-2 years remaining to maturity during a period when longer-maturity bonds in general outperformed shorter-maturity bonds.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to eatonvance.com.

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 Funds 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 Funds filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Bloomberg Barclays 1 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 1-2 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. |
3 |
Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class I is linked to Class A. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. |
Effective August 19, 2013, the Fund changed its investment objective and policies. Prior to August 19, 2013, the Fund employed a strategy of investing in fixed-rate bonds with a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration of between three and nine years. Performance prior to August 19, 2013 reflects the Funds performance under its former investment objective and policies. |

The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV at the end of the period. The Funds 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 Funds distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Funds long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. The SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a funds 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. |
6 |
Ratings are based on Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), 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 issuers creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&Ps measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moodys) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agencys analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuers current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a securitys 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. |
Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |
Additional Information |
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. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service 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 mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2019 March 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 sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). 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.

Expenses are equal to the Funds annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Investment Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Funds investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each classs paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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 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 Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the securitys fair value, which is the amount that the Fund 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 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 and Related Income 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes The Funds 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 its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by the Fund, as exempt-interest dividends.
As of March 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 Legal Fees Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
F 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.
G Indemnifications Under the Trusts 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 Trusts Declaration of Trust contains an
16 |
Eaton Vance
Floating-Rate Municipal Income Fund
March 31, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements continued
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 Funds 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.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The net investment income of the Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was as follows:
Year Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Tax-exempt income |
$ | 10,314,214 | $ | 8,980,835 | ||||
Ordinary income |
$ | 21,317 | $ | 4,550 |
As of March 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income |
$ | 32,179 | ||
Deferred capital losses |
$ | (1,638,426 | ) | |
Net unrealized depreciation |
$ | (1,053,783 | ) | |
Distributions payable |
$ | (101,274 | ) |
At March 31, 2020, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $1,638,426 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 Funds next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at March 31, 2020, $484,048 are short-term and $1,154,378 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at March 31, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost |
$ | 586,589,731 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation |
$ | 703,232 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation |
(1,757,015 | ) | ||
Net unrealized depreciation |
$ | (1,053,783 | ) |
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) and is payable monthly. The annual asset rate and daily income rate are 0.30% and 3.00%, respectively, on average daily net assets of up to $500 million, 0.275% and 2.75%, respectively, on average daily net assets of $500 million

Floating-Rate Municipal Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements continued
but less than $1 billion and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $1 billion or more. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the investment adviser fee amounted to $2,434,402 or 0.35% of the Funds average daily net assets.
Prior to August 1, 2019, EVM and BMR had agreed to reimburse the Funds expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only) exceeded 0.60% and 0.45% of the Funds average daily net assets for Class A and Class I, respectively. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and BMR were allocated $5,880 in total of the Funds operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2020.
EVM serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended March 31, 2020, EVM earned $3,142 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds principal underwriter, received $2,909 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended March 31, 2020. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A shares (see Note 4).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVMs or BMRs organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund 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 March 31, 2020, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plan
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Trustees approved distribution and service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $422,276 for Class A shares.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).
5 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $333,513,534 and $464,736,516, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2020.
6 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Funds Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

7 Line of Credit
The Fund 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 Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund 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 Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At March 31, 2020, the Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $47,600,000, at an interest rate of 1.09%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at March 31, 2020. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 8) at March 31, 2020. The Funds average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended March 31, 2020 were not significant.
8 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.
At March 31, 2020, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Municipal Securities |
$ | | $ | 585,535,948 | $ | | $ | 585,535,948 | ||||||||
Total Investments |
$ | | $ | 585,535,948 | $ | | $ | 585,535,948 |
9 Risks and Uncertainties
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus that was first detected in China in December 2019 has spread rapidly internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to 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 outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries and individual companies and can affect the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The near-term impact of this coronavirus has resulted in substantial market volatility, which may have an adverse effect on the Funds investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Investment Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Municipal Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Investment Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of March 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 five years in the period then ended, 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 March 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 five years in the period then ended, 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 Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds 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 Funds 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 March 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.

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 investment adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of 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 Funds adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. The adviser is also registered as a commodity trading advisor.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
As the 12-month period opened on April 1, 2019, investors were concerned about a growing U.S.-China trade war. In connection with its final 2018 rate hike the previous December, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) had lowered its number of projected interest rate increases in 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 in both the Treasury and municipal bond markets 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 2019, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 25 basis points on July 31, 2019 its first reduction in over a decade and followed with two additional rate cuts in September and October. After those cuts, the federal funds rate was at 1.55%.
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 January 2020 raised investor concerns and led to a renewed flight to quality that briefly revived the bond market rally. On January 2, the assassination of Irans 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.
As the virus turned into a global pandemic in February and March, it ended the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion and brought most of the worlds economies to a standstill. The historically strong correlation between municipal bonds and Treasurys broke down, as economic activity declined dramatically and credit markets, along with equities, plunged in value amid unprecedented volatility. In response, the Fed announced two emergency rate cuts in March lowering the federal funds rate to 0.00%-0.25% along with other measures designed to support the credit markets through various liquidity programs. These moves helped calm the markets and led municipal bonds to rally in the final days of the period.
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020, the municipal bond yield curve experienced a so-called bull market flattening, where rates declined across the curve, but more so toward the long end of the curve. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a broad measure of the asset class, returned 3.85% for the fiscal year although it declined 3.63% in the final month of the period. Reflecting investors late-period turn to a more conservative approach, municipal bonds with higher credit ratings outperformed lower-rated issues during the period.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020, Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) returned 1.66%, underperforming the 2.91% return of the Funds benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 7 Year Municipal Bond Index (the Index).
The Funds overall strategy is to invest in municipal obligations that are exempt from regular federal income tax. While the Index includes only bonds with maturities of six to eight years, the Fund may invest in individual municipal obligations of any maturity and thus owns bonds with shorter maturities and longer maturities than the holdings in the Index, while seeking to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration between three and nine years. During the period, the Funds out-of-Index holdings in bonds with shorter maturities than those in the Index underperformed the Index and detracted from performance versus the Index. However, the Funds out-of-Index holdings in bonds with longer maturities than those in the Index outperformed the Index and contributed to relative returns.
Detractors from Fund performance versus the Index included, as noted above, out-of-Index holdings in shorter-maturity bonds, with 15 years remaining to maturity; an overweight, relative to the Index, in Illinois bonds, which declined in value as its fiscal liabilities mounted; and an overweight in bonds rated BBB and below, during a period when higher-rated bonds in the Index outperformed lower-rated bonds.
In contrast, contributors to Fund performance versus the Index during the period included out-of-Index holdings in longer-maturity bonds, with 812 years remaining to maturity; an overweight in zero-coupon bonds, which were the best-performing coupon structure in the Index during the period; and security selection in local general obligation bonds, which were the best-performing sector in the Index during the period.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to eatonvance.com.

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 Funds 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 Funds filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Bloomberg Barclays 7 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 6-8 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. |
3 |
Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |

5 |
The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV at the end of the period. The Funds 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 Funds distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Funds long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. The SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a funds 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. |
6 |
Ratings are based on Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), 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 issuers creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&Ps measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moodys) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agencys analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuers current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a securitys 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. |
Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |
Additional Information |
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. |
Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. 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. |
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. |
Important Notice to Shareholders |
Effective December 31, 2019, Christopher J. Eustance and Trevor G. Smith joined the portfolio management team of the Fund. |
Effective May 1, 2020, the Fund changed its investment strategy related to duration. The Fund now seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration of less than five years, rather than a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration of between three and nine years. This change reflects the way the Fund has been positioned in recent years. In addition, effective May 1, 2020, the Funds primary benchmark index changed from the Bloomberg Barclays 7 Year Municipal Bond Index to the Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate 1-10 Year Municipal Bond Index because the investment adviser believes that the Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate 1-10 Year Municipal Bond Index better reflects the duration of the investments held by the Fund. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service 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 mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2019 March 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 sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Investment Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Funds investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Funds prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each classs paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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 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 Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the securitys fair-value, which is the amount that the Fund 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 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 and Related Income 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes The Funds 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 its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by the Fund, 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 March 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 Legal Fees Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
F 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.

G Indemnifications Under the Trusts 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 Trusts 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 Funds 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.
H When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions The Fund 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 Fund 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.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The net investment income of the Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was as follows:
Year Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Tax-exempt income |
$ | 13,406,905 | $ | 14,469,194 | ||||
Ordinary income |
$ | 364,987 | $ | 353,708 |
As of March 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income |
$ | 552,893 | ||
Deferred capital losses |
$ | (9,392,277 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation |
$ | 11,635,400 | ||
Distributions payable |
$ | (552,893 | ) |
At March 31, 2020, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $9,392,277 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 Funds next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at March 31, 2020, $9,263,260 are short-term and $129,017 are long-term.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at March 31, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost |
$ | 484,135,831 | ||

$ | 17,182,818 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation |
(5,547,418 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation |
$ | 11,635,400 |
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) as presented in the following table and is payable monthly.
Daily Net Assets |
Annual Asset
Rate |
Daily Income
Rate |
||||||
Up to $500 million |
0.300 | % | 3.00 | % | ||||
$500 million up to $1 billion |
0.275 | 2.75 |
On average daily net assets of $1 billion or more, the rates are further reduced.
For the year ended March 31, 2020, the investment adviser fee amounted to $2,072,394 or 0.40% of the Funds average daily net assets.
EVM serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended March 31, 2020, EVM earned $20,308 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds principal underwriter, received $6,080 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended March 31, 2020. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVMs or BMRs organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund 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 March 31, 2020, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Trustees approved distribution and service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $283,918 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $223,654 for Class C shares.
Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. The Trustees approved service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder

accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $44,730 for Class C shares.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within 12 months of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund was informed that EVD received $200 of CDSCs paid by Class C shareholders and no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.
6 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $208,003,281 and $218,285,875, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2020.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Funds Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

8 Line of Credit
The Fund 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 Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund 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 Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended March 31, 2020.
9 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.
At March 31, 2020, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

10 Risks and Uncertainties
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus that was first detected in China in December 2019 has spread rapidly internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to 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 outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries and individual companies and can affect the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The near-term impact of this coronavirus has resulted in substantial market volatility, which may have an adverse effect on the Funds investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Investment Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance National Limited Maturity Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Investment Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of March 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 five years in the period then ended, 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 March 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 five years in the period then ended, 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 Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds 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 Funds 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 March 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.

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 investment adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of 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 Funds adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. The adviser is also registered as 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.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
As the 12-month period opened on April 1, 2019, investors were concerned about a growing U.S.-China trade war. In connection with its final 2018 rate hike the previous December, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) had lowered its number of projected interest rate increases in 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 in both the Treasury and municipal bond markets 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 2019, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 25 basis points on July 31, 2019 its first reduction in over a decade and followed with two additional rate cuts in September and October. After those cuts, the federal funds rate was at 1.55%.
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 January 2020 raised investor concerns and led to a renewed flight to quality that briefly revived the bond market rally. On January 2, the assassination of Irans 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.
As the virus turned into a global pandemic in February and March, it ended the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion and brought most of the worlds economies to a standstill. The historically strong correlation between municipal bonds and Treasurys broke down, as economic activity declined dramatically and credit markets, along with equities, plunged in value amid unprecedented volatility. In response, the Fed announced two emergency rate cuts in March lowering the federal funds rate to 0.00%-0.25% along with other measures designed to support the credit markets through various liquidity programs. These moves helped calm the markets and led municipal bonds to rally in the final days of the period.
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020, the municipal bond yield curve experienced a so-called bull market flattening, where rates declined across the curve, but more so toward the long end of the curve. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a broad measure of the asset class, returned 3.85% for the fiscal year although it declined 3.63% in the final month of the period. Reflecting investors late-period turn to a more conservative approach, municipal bonds with higher credit ratings outperformed lower-rated issues during the period.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020, Eaton Vance New York Municipal Opportunities Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) returned 2.33%, underperforming the 3.85% return of the Funds benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the Index).
In seeking to achieve its primary objective of maximizing after-tax total return, the Fund employs a flexible investment strategy that allows it to seek opportunities, principally in the New York municipal bond market, virtually anywhere on the yield curve, of any rating, and across different sectors. Management has the ability to be opportunistic in pursuing the Funds after-tax total return objective, trading holdings whenever opportunities arise, with the ability to invest up to 20% of net assets in debt obligations other than tax-exempt municipal bonds, including (but not limited to) taxable municipal obligations, U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Up to 50% of the Funds net assets may be invested in below-investment-grade securities. The Fund may also seek to hedge interest rate risk and hold leveraged investments.
Detractors from Fund performance versus the Index during the period included security selection in taxable municipal securities, which are not represented in the Index; an underweight position, relative to the Index, in zero-coupon bonds, which were the best-performing coupon structure in the Index during the period; and security selection in the health care sector.
In contrast, contributors to Fund performance relative to the Index included an underweight position in prerefunded, or escrowed, bonds; an overweight position in the education sector; and security selection in AAA-rated bonds.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to eatonvance.com.

The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV at the end of the period. The Funds 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 Funds distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Funds long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. The SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a funds 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. |

Ratings are based on Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), 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 issuers creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&Ps measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moodys) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agencys analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuers current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a securitys 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. |
Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |
Additional Information |
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. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service 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 mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2019 March 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 sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). 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.
* |
Expenses are equal to the Funds annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (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 September 30, 2019. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance New York Municipal Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified series of Eaton Vance Investment Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Funds investment objective is to seek to maximize after-tax total return. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Funds prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each classs paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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 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 Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the securitys fair value, which is the amount that the Fund 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 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 entitys 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 and Related Income 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes The Funds 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 its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by the Fund, 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 March 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 Legal Fees Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
F 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.

G Indemnifications Under the Trusts 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 Trusts 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 Funds 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.
H When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions The Fund 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 Fund 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 income 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.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The net investment income of the Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was as follows:
Year Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Tax-exempt income |
$ | 1,518,518 | $ | 1,642,924 | ||||
Ordinary income |
$ | 100,284 | $ | 97,775 |
As of March 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income |
$ | 41,809 | ||
Deferred capital losses |
$ | (646,945 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation |
$ | 1,058,483 | ||
Distributions payable |
$ | (43,398 | ) |
At March 31, 2020, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $646,945 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 Funds next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at March 31, 2020, $646,945 are short-term.

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at March 31, 2020, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost |
$ | 77,806,755 | ||

Net unrealized appreciation |
$ | 1,058,483 |
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) and is payable monthly. The annual asset rate and daily income rate are 0.30% and 3.00%, respectively, when daily net assets are less than $500 million and at reduced rates when daily net assets are $500 million or more. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the investment adviser fee amounted to $302,442 or 0.38% of the Funds average daily net assets.
EVM serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended March 31, 2020, EVM earned $9,571 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds principal underwriter, received $1,811 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended March 31, 2020. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVMs or BMRs organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund 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 March 31, 2020, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Trustees approved distribution and service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $66,197 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $75,946 for Class C shares.
Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. The Trustees approved service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the Class C sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $15,189 for Class C shares.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $300 of CDSCs paid by Class C shareholders and no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.

8 Line of Credit
The Fund 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 Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund 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 Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At March 31, 2020, the Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $500,000, at an interest rate of 1.09%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at March 31, 2020. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 10) at March 31, 2020. The Funds average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended March 31, 2020 were not significant.

9 Overdraft Advances
Pursuant to the custodian agreement, State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Fund to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft, the Fund is obligated to repay SSBT at the current rate of interest charged by SSBT for secured loans (currently, the Federal Funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to SSBT. SSBT has a lien on the Funds assets to the extent of any overdraft. At March 31, 2020, the Fund had a payment due to SSBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement of $292,172. Based on the short-term nature of these payments and the variable interest rate, the carrying value of the overdraft advances approximated its fair value at March 31, 2020. If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 10) at March 31, 2020. The Funds average overdraft advances during the year ended March 31, 2020 were not significant.
10 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.
At March 31, 2020, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3* | Total | ||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Municipal Securities |
$ | | $ | 76,835,264 | $ | | $ | 76,835,264 | ||||||||
Taxable Municipal Securities |
| 1,661,700 | | 1,661,700 | ||||||||||||
Miscellaneous |
| | 368,274 | 368,274 | ||||||||||||
Total Investments |
$ | | $ | 78,496,964 | $ | 368,274 | $ | 78,865,238 |
* |
None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund. |
Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended March 31, 2020 is not presented.
11 Risks and Uncertainties
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus that was first detected in China in December 2019 has spread rapidly internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to 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 outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries and individual companies and can affect the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The near-term impact of this coronavirus has resulted in substantial market volatility, which may have an adverse effect on the Funds investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Investment Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance New York Municipal Opportunities Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance New York Municipal Opportunities Fund (the Fund) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Investment Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of March 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 five years in the period then ended, 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 March 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 five years in the period then ended, 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 Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds 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 Funds 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 March 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.

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 investment adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of 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 Funds adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. The adviser is also registered as a commodity trading advisor.

Managements Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
As the 12-month period opened on April 1, 2019, investors were concerned about a growing U.S.-China trade war. In connection with its final 2018 rate hike the previous December, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) had lowered its number of projected interest rate increases in 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 in both the Treasury and municipal bond markets 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 2019, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 25 basis points on July 31, 2019 its first reduction in over a decade and followed with two additional rate cuts in September and October. After those cuts, the federal funds rate was at 1.55%.
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 January 2020 raised investor concerns and led to a renewed flight to quality that briefly revived the bond market rally. On January 2, the assassination of Irans 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.
As the virus turned into a global pandemic in February and March, it ended the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion and brought most of the worlds economies to a standstill. The historically strong correlation between municipal bonds and Treasurys broke down, as economic activity declined dramatically and credit markets, along with equities, plunged in value amid unprecedented volatility.
In response, the Fed announced two emergency rate cuts in March lowering the federal funds rate to 0.00%-0.25% along with other measures designed to support the credit markets through various liquidity programs. These moves helped calm the markets and led municipal bonds to rally in the final days of the period.
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020, the municipal bond yield curve experienced a so-called bull market flattening, where rates declined across the curve, but more so toward the long end of the curve. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a broad measure of the asset class, returned 3.85% for the fiscal year although it declined 3.63% in the final month of the period. Reflecting investors late-period turn to a more conservative approach, municipal bonds with higher credit ratings outperformed lower-rated issues during the period.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2020, Eaton Vance Short Duration Municipal Opportunities Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) returned 0.29%, underperforming the 2.50% return of the Funds benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate 1-10 Year Municipal Bond Index (the Index).
In seeking to achieve its primary objective of maximizing after-tax total return, the Fund employs a flexible investment strategy that allows it to seek opportunities virtually anywhere on the credit curve, across different sectors and different state issuers, while maintaining a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration below 4.5 years. Management has the ability to be opportunistic in pursuing the Funds after-tax total return objective, trading holdings whenever opportunities arise, with the ability to invest up to 20% of net assets in debt obligations other than tax-exempt municipal bonds, including (but not limited to) taxable municipal obligations, U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Up to 50% of the Funds net assets may be invested in below-investment-grade securities. The Fund may also seek to hedge interest rate risk and hold leveraged investments, which involves borrowing money.
Detractors from Fund performance versus the Index during the period included security selection and an overweight position, relative to the Index, in bonds rated BBB and below, during a period when higher-rated bonds in the Index outperformed lower-rated bonds; as well as security selection and an overweight position in the health care sector. A defensive, out-of-Index allocation to municipal variable rate demand obligations, which are short-term municipal notes, lagged the Index for a majority of the period, and detracted from relative performance as well.
In contrast, contributors to performance relative to the Index included an underweight position in prerefunded, or escrowed, bonds; an out-of-Index allocation to bonds with 17 or more years remaining to maturity, during a period when longer-maturity bonds in general outperformed shorter-maturity bonds; and an out-of-Index allocation to taxable municipal bonds, which generally outperformed tax-exempt municipal bonds during the period.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to eatonvance.com.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to eatonvance.com.

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 Funds 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 Funds filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate 110 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 110 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. |
3 |
Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The performance of Class I is linked to Class A. Performance presented in the Financial Highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. |
Performance prior to November 14, 2016 reflects the Funds performance under its former investment objective and policies. |
4 |
Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratios reflect a contractual expense reimbursement that continues through 7/31/20. 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. |
5 |
The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV at the end of the period. The Funds 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 Funds distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Funds long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. The SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a funds 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. |
6 |
Ratings are based on Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), 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 issuers creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&Ps measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moodys) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agencys analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuers current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a securitys 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. |
Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |
Additional Information |
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. |
Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. 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. |
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 Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service 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 mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2019 March 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 sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). 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.
* |
Expenses are equal to the Funds annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (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 September 30, 2019. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Short Duration Municipal Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified series of Eaton Vance Investment Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Funds investment objective is to seek to maximize after-tax total return. The Fund offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Effective January 25, 2019, Class C shares generally automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after their purchase as described in the Funds prospectus. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each classs paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
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 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.
Equity Securities. Equity securities 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 ask prices 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 ask prices.
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 Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the securitys fair value, which is the amount that the Fund 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 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 and Related Income 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Distributions from investment companies are recorded on the ex-dividend date as income, capital gains or return of capital based on the nature of the distribution.
C Federal Taxes The Funds 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 and dividend income generated by its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by the Fund, 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 March 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 Legal Fees Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.

F 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.
G Indemnifications Under the Trusts 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 Trusts 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 Funds 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.
H When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions The Fund 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 Fund 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.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The net investment income of the Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was as follows:
Year Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
Tax-exempt income |
$ | 13,432,658 | $ | 5,816,061 | ||||
Ordinary income |
$ | 1,393,384 | $ | 707,210 | ||||
Long-term capital gains |
$ | 22,687 | $ | |
During the year ended March 31, 2020, accumulated loss was increased by $54,462 and paid-in capital was increased by $54,462 due to the Funds use of equalization accounting. Tax equalization accounting allows the Fund to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholders portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of March 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income |
$ | 251,237 | ||
Post October capital losses |
$ | (1,874,590 | ) | |
Net unrealized depreciation |
$ | (11,692,911 | ) | |
Distributions payable |
$ | (259,447 | ) |
At March 31, 2020, the Fund had a net capital loss of $1,874,590 attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2019 that it has elected to defer. This net capital loss is treated as arising on the first day of the Funds taxable year ending March 31, 2021.

3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser and administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for investment advisory and administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Funds average daily net assets up to $1 billion, and at a reduced rate on daily net assets of $1 billion or more, and is payable monthly. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the investment adviser and administration fee amounted to $2,875,505 or 0.40% of the Funds average daily net assets.
EVM has agreed to reimburse the Funds expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding such expenses as borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 0.70%, 1.45% and 0.55% of the Funds average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after July 31, 2020. Pursuant to this agreement, no operating expenses were allocated to EVM for the year ended March 31, 2020.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended March 31, 2020, EVM earned $7,332 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds principal underwriter, received $15,654 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended March 31, 2020. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVMs organization receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser and administration fee. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with EVM 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 March 31, 2020, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.
4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Trustees approved distribution and service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $197,694 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect a distribution plan for Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $240,758 for Class C shares.
Pursuant to the Class C Plan, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. The Trustees approved service fee payments equal to 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the Class C sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $48,152 for Class C shares.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within 12 months of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 18 months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends

or capital gain distributions. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $38,000 and $10,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $677,919,060 and $374,977,343, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2020.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Funds Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:
Year Ended March 31, | ||||||||

8 Line of Credit
The Fund 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 Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund 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 Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At March 31, 2020, the Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line of credit of $24,800,000 at an interest rate of 1.09%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at March 31, 2020. If
31 |
Eaton Vance
Short Duration Municipal Opportunities Fund
March 31, 2020
Notes to Financial Statements continued
measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 9) at March 31, 2020. The Funds average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended March 31, 2020 were not significant.
9 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.
At March 31, 2020, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Municipal Securities |

10 Risks and Uncertainties
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus that was first detected in China in December 2019 has spread rapidly internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to 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 outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries and individual companies and can affect the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Health crises caused by outbreaks, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The near-term impact of this coronavirus has resulted in substantial market volatility, which may have an adverse effect on the Funds investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Investment Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Short Duration Municipal Opportunities Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Short Duration Municipal Opportunities Fund (the Fund), (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Investment Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of March 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 five years in the period then ended, 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 March 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 five years in the period then ended, 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 Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds 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 Funds 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 March 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.
