Tom Faust:
This is Tom Faust, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eaton Vance.
As you may be aware, Eaton Vance has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Morgan Stanley, one of the world’s leading financial services firms. In connection with the proposed transaction, shareholders of each of the Eaton Vance, Parametric and Calvert mutual funds and closed-end funds are being asked to approve new investment advisory agreements. Approval will provide continuity of the Funds’ investment programs and help ensure that Fund operations continue uninterrupted after the close of the transaction.
Fund shareholders will soon receive proxy materials for shareholder meetings to consider the new agreements. The Funds’ Boards of Trustees have carefully considered all the proposals, and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote FOR each proposal.
In addition, owners of separate accounts and certain private funds managed by Eaton Vance Management, Parametric, Calvert and Atlanta Capital may be sent consent letters to permit the management of their investment strategies to continue uninterrupted following the close of the transaction. Depending on the terms of the individual investment management agreement, client consents may be required to be in writing.
Eaton Vance and Morgan Stanley share a deep commitment to putting the interests of our clients first. We believe our proposed combination does just that. Eaton Vance and Morgan Stanley Investment Management will together create one of the world’s largest and most important global asset managers, with approximately $1.2 trillion of assets under management and expertise spanning the global capital markets. Bringing Eaton Vance and Morgan Stanley Investment Management together creates a uniquely powerful set of investment solutions to serve both institutional and individual clients in the U.S. and internationally.
We encourage our Fund shareholders and separate account clients to read the proxy and consent materials carefully, and to vote in favor of the proposals by following the instructions provided.
Thank you for your support in this important matter.

Why you should vote Fund shareholders are being asked to vote to approve new investment advisory agreements and, where applicable, new investment sub-advisory agreements. Your vote is important because the acquisition may cause each Fund’s existing investment advisory and, where applicable, investment sub-advisory agreement to terminate. The Funds’ investment objectives, investment strategies, portfolio managers and brands are expected to remain the same upon closing of the transaction.
How to vote Voting is easy and shareholders may vote online, by phone, by mail, or at the shareholder meeting. Please follow the instructions on your proxy card or voting instruction form to vote. Below are voting links for more detailed voting steps. | |
