EHGIX Investment Objective and Strategy

Eaton Vance Hexavest Global Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Eaton Vance Growth Trust.

Investment objective

The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of issuers located throughout the developed world, including the United States (the 80% Policy). A company will be considered to be located in the developed world if it is domiciled in and tied economically to one or more developed countries as defined by the MSCI World Index. The MSCI World Index is an unmanaged index of approximately 1,600 companies located in 23 countries. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest (i) at least 30% of its net assets in companies located outside the United States, including in emerging market countries and (ii) in issuers located in at least five different countries (including the United States). A company will be considered to be located outside the United States if it is domiciled in and tied economically to one or more non-U.S.

countries and may include stocks of companies that trade in the form of depositary receipts. The Fund may invest in securities issued by companies with a broad range of market capitalizations, including smaller companies. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a type of pooled investment vehicle, in order to manage cash positions or seek exposure to certain markets or market sectors. The Fund will actively manage its exposure to foreign currencies and may seek to enhance return by increasing or decreasing its exposure to foreign currencies. The Fund expects to increase or decrease its foreign currency exposure primarily by entering into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund may also invest in futures contracts to enable changes in macroeconomic views to be efficiently and cost-effectively implemented, as well as to manage cash flows.

Both forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts are types of derivative instruments. The Fund may also use derivatives consistent with its 80% Policy. The Fund is managed using a predominately top-down investment style that incorporates proprietary fundamental research and quantitative models. The regional, country, currency, sector, and industry allocations of the portfolio are based primarily on the sub-advisers analysis of the macroeconomic environment, valuations of markets and the sentiment of investors (which often results in a contrarian view and value bias). Individual stock selection is based on fundamental research, optimization and quantitative screening to achieve desired market exposures and to emphasize stocks identified as having higher return potential.

At the top-down level, sell decisions will be based on a significant deterioration in the macroeconomic environment, valuation and/or sentiment. At the individual security level, sell decisions are based on a change in views at the top-down level or on a significant change in fundamentals or relative valuation of the security. The portfolio managers seek to manage investment risk by using quantitative tools to assist in portfolio construction and monitoring and maintaining desired market exposures across the Funds holdings.
