    Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund (ETG)
    Semi-Annual Report
    April 30, 2025


    Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations 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 Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. The adviser is also registered as a commodity trading advisor.
    Managed Distribution Plan. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Order), the Fund is authorized to distribute long-term capital gains to shareholders more frequently than once per year. Pursuant to the Order, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved a Managed Distribution Plan (MDP) pursuant to which the Fund makes monthly cash distributions to common shareholders, stated in terms of a fixed amount per common share.
    The Fund currently distributes monthly cash distributions equal to $0.1293 per share in accordance with the MDP. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the MDP. The MDP will be subject to regular periodic review by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and the Board may amend or terminate the MDP at any time without prior notice to Fund shareholders. However, at this time there are no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause the termination of the MDP.
    The Fund may distribute more than its net investment income and net realized capital gains and, therefore, a distribution may include a return of capital. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” With each distribution, the Fund will issue a notice to shareholders and a press release containing information about the amount and sources of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and sources of distributions contained in the notice and press release are only estimates and are not provided for tax purposes. The amounts and sources of the Fund’s distributions for tax purposes will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV for each calendar year.
    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.

    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated net of management fees and other expenses by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or market price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested in accordance with the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale of Fund shares. Performance at market price will differ from performance at NAV due to variations in the Fund’s market price versus NAV, which may reflect factors such as fluctuations in supply and demand for Fund shares, changes in Fund distributions, shifting market expectations for the Fund’s future returns and distribution rates, and other considerations affecting the trading prices of closed-end funds. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, 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.

    1 MSCI World Index is an unmanaged index of equity securities in the developed markets. MSCI indexes are net of foreign withholding taxes. Source: MSCI. MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder. ICE BofA Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index is an unmanaged index of fixed-rate, preferred securities issued in the U.S. ICE® BofA® indices are not for redistribution or other uses; provided “as is”, without warranties, and with no liability. Eaton Vance has prepared this report and ICE Data Indices, LLC does not endorse it, or guarantee, review, or endorse Eaton Vance’s products. BofA® is a licensed registered trademark of Bank of America Corporation in the United States and other countries. The Blended Index consists of 80% MSCI World Index and 20% ICE BofA Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index, rebalanced monthly. 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.
    2 Performance results reflect the effects of leverage.
    3 The shares of the Fund often trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. The discount or premium may vary over time and may be higher or lower than what is quoted in this report. For up-to-date premium/discount information, please refer to https://funds.eatonvance.com/closed-end-fund-prices.php.
    4 The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV or market price at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. For additional information about nondividend distributions, please refer to Eaton Vance Closed-End Fund Distribution Notices (19a) posted on our website, eatonvance.com. 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. For information about the tax character of distributions made in prior calendar years, please refer to Pricing and Performance - Distributions on the Fund’s webpage available at eatonvance. com. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. Fund distributions may be affected by numerous factors including changes in Fund performance, the cost of financing for leverage, portfolio holdings, realized and projected returns, and other factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change.
    5 Total leverage is shown as a percentage of the Fund’s aggregate net assets plus borrowings outstanding. The Fund employs leverage through borrowings. Use of leverage creates an opportunity for income, but creates risks including greater price volatility. The cost of borrowings rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. The Fund may be required to maintain prescribed asset coverage for its leverage and may be required to reduce its leverage at an inopportune time.

    Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

    1  Significant Accounting Policies
    Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund (the Fund) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of after-tax total return consisting primarily of tax-advantaged dividend income and capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in dividend-paying common and preferred stocks.
    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.
    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 National Market System 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 or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that uses various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events.
    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.
    Derivatives. Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded, with adjustments for fair valuation for certain foreign futures contracts as described below.
    Foreign Securities, Futures Contracts and Currencies. Foreign securities, futures contracts and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by a third party pricing service. The pricing service uses a proprietary model to determine the exchange rate. Inputs to the model include reported trades and implied bid/ask spreads. The daily valuation of exchange-traded foreign securities and certain exchange-traded foreign futures contracts generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities and contracts trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities and certain foreign futures contracts to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities and foreign futures contracts that meet certain criteria, the Fund’s Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities and foreign futures contracts to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities and foreign futures contracts.
    Other. Investments in management investment companies (including money market funds) that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day.
    Fair Valuation. In connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Trustees have designated the Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “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 security’s 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 company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
    B  Investment Transactions—Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
    C  Income—Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, the Fund has filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries (the “EU reclaims”). These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries.

    Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund
    April 30, 2025
    Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) — continued

    Due to the uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these EU reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, the EU reclaims are recorded as income only when the likelihood of their receipt becomes certain. During the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Fund received approximately $6,187,000 from Sweden for EU reclaims and interest thereon. Such amount is included in other income on the Statement of Operations. 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 as dividend income, capital gains or return of capital based on the nature of the distribution.
    D  Federal and Other Taxes—The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its 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.
    In addition to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund may also be subject to local taxes on the recognition of capital gains in certain countries. In determining the daily net asset value, the Fund estimates the accrual for such taxes, if any, based on the unrealized appreciation on certain portfolio securities and the related tax rates. Taxes attributable to unrealized appreciation are included in the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. Capital gains taxes on securities sold are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments.
    As of April 30, 2025, 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.
    E  Foreign Currency Translation—Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
    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 Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Fund) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Fund. However, the Fund’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Fund shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
    H  Futures Contracts—Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or index, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.
    I  Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts—The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until such time as the contracts have been closed. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
    J  Segment Reporting—During this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires incremental disclosures related to a public entity’s reportable segments. The Fund operates as a single reportable segment, an investment company whose investment objective(s) is included in Note 1. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2023-07, the Fund’s President acts as the Fund's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is responsible for assessing the performance of the Fund's single segment and deciding how to allocate the segment’s resources. To perform this function, the CODM reviews the information in the Fund’s financial statements.

    K  Interim Financial Statements—The interim financial statements relating to April 30, 2025 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Fund’s management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
    2  Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
    Subject to its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund intends to make monthly distributions from its net investment income, net capital gain (which is the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) and other sources. The Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income. Distributions in any year may include a return of capital component.
    The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, including open derivative contracts, of the Fund at April 30, 2025, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
    Aggregate cost $1,646,418,048
    Gross unrealized appreciation $ 259,450,983
    Gross unrealized depreciation (66,311,687)
    Net unrealized appreciation $ 193,139,296
    3  Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
    The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of average daily gross assets as follows and is payable monthly:
    Average Daily Gross Assets Annual Fee Rate
    Up to and including $1.5 billion 0.850%
    Over $1.5 billion up to and including $3 billion 0.830%
    Over $3 billion up to and including $5 billion 0.810%
    Over $5 billion 0.790%
    Gross assets, as defined in the Fund's investment advisory agreement, means total assets of the Fund, including any form of investment leverage, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations, but not excluding any liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred stock or other similar preference securities, (iii) the reinvestment of collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies, and/or (iv) any other means. Accrued expenses includes other liabilities other than indebtedness attributable to leverage. For the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Fund’s investment adviser fee amounted to $8,068,119 or 0.85% (annualized) of the Fund’s average daily gross assets.
    Pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement, EVM has delegated the investment management of the Fund to Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd. (EVAIL), an affiliate of EVM and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. EVM pays EVAIL a portion of its investment adviser fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. EVM also serves as administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation.
    The Fund may invest in a money market fund, the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds - Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Fund”), an open-end management investment company managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The investment adviser fee paid by the Fund is reduced by an amount equal to its pro rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2025, the investment adviser fee paid was reduced by $10,049 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund.

    Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s organization receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser 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. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.
    4  Purchases and Sales of Investments
    Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $1,082,478,930 and $1,163,511,064, respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2025.
    5  Common Shares of Beneficial Interest
    The Fund may issue common shares pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan. There were no common shares issued by the Fund for the six months ended April 30, 2025 and the year ended October 31, 2024.
    In November 2013, the Board of Trustees initially approved a share repurchase program for the Fund. Pursuant to the reauthorization of the share repurchase program by the Board of Trustees in March 2019, the Fund is authorized to repurchase up to 10% of its common shares outstanding as of the last day of the prior calendar year at market prices when shares are trading at a discount to net asset value (NAV). The share repurchase program does not obligate the Fund to purchase a specific amount of shares. There were no repurchases of common shares by the Fund for the six months ended April 30, 2025. During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Fund repurchased 137,048 of its common shares under the share repurchase program at a cost, including brokerage commissions, of $2,556,960 and an average price per share of $18.66. The weighted average discount per share to NAV on these repurchases amounted to 10.11% for the year ended October 31, 2024.
    6  Financial Instruments
    The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at April 30, 2025 is included in the Portfolio of Investments. At April 30, 2025, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
    In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the Fund is subject to the following risks:
    Equity Price Risk: The Fund enters into equity futures contracts on securities indices to gain or limit exposure to certain markets, particularly in connection with engaging in the dividend capture trading strategy.
    Foreign Exchange Risk: During the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Fund engaged in forward foreign currency exchange contracts to seek to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
    The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that may contain provisions whereby the counterparty may terminate the contract under certain conditions, including but not limited to a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a certain level over a certain period of time, which would trigger a payment by the Fund for those derivatives in a liability position. At April 30, 2025, the Fund had no open derivatives with credit-related contingent features in a net liability position.
    The over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives in which the Fund invests are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the contract fails to perform its obligations under the contract. To mitigate this risk, the Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with substantially all its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event as defined under the relevant ISDA Master Agreement. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the counterparty to accelerate payment by the Fund of any net liability owed to it.
    The collateral requirements for derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement are governed by a Credit Support Annex to the ISDA Master Agreement. Collateral requirements are determined at the close of business each day and are typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under an ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a

    minimum transfer threshold amount before a transfer is required, which may vary by counterparty. Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Fund and/or counterparty is held in segregated accounts by the Fund’s custodian and cannot be sold, re-pledged, assigned or otherwise used while pledged. The portion of such collateral representing cash, if any, is reflected as deposits for derivatives collateral and, in the case of cash pledged by a counterparty for the benefit of the Fund, a corresponding liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged by the Fund as collateral, if any, are identified as such in the Portfolio of Investments.
    The fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk at April 30, 2025 was as follows:
      Fair Value
    Derivative Asset Derivative Liability Derivative
    Futures contracts $5,438,314 (1) $(6,438,673) (1)
    (1) Only the current day's variation margin on open futures contracts is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin on open futures contracts, as applicable.
    The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations by risk exposure for the six months ended April 30, 2025 was as follows:
    Risk Derivative Realized Gain (Loss)
    on Derivatives Recognized
    in Income(1)
    Change in Unrealized
    Appreciation (Depreciation) on

    (1) Statement of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss): Futures contracts and Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively.
    (2) Statement of Operations location: Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation): Futures contracts.
    The average notional cost of futures contracts and average notional amounts of other derivative contracts outstanding during the six months ended April 30, 2025, which are indicative of the volume of these derivative types, were approximately as follows:
    Futures
    Contracts — Long
    Futures
    Contracts — Short
    Forward
    Foreign Currency
    Exchange Contracts*
    $97,966,000 $94,314,000 $26,434,000
    * The average notional amount for forward foreign currency exchange contracts is based on the absolute value of notional amounts of currency purchased and currency sold.

    7  Liquidity Agreement
    The Fund has entered into a Liquidity Agreement (the Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) that allows the Fund to borrow or otherwise access up to $435 million through securities lending transactions, direct loans from SSBT or a combination of both. The Fund has granted to SSBT a security interest in all its cash, securities and other financial assets, unless otherwise pledged, to secure the payment and performance of its obligations under the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Fund has made its securities available for securities lending transactions by SSBT acting as securities lending agent for the Fund. Securities lending transactions are required to be secured with cash collateral received from the securities borrowers equal at all times to at least 100%, 102% or 105% of the market value of the securities loaned, depending on the type of security. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to SSBT on the next business day. The Fund is subject to the possible delay in the recovery of loaned securities. Pursuant to the Agreement, SSBT has provided indemnification to the Fund in the event of default by a securities borrower with respect to security loans. However, the Fund retains all risk of loss and gains associated with securities purchased using cash received under the Agreement. The Fund is entitled to receive from securities borrowers all substitute interest, dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the securities on loan. The Fund may instruct SSBT to recall a security on loan at any time. At April 30, 2025, the value of the securities loaned and the value of the cash collateral received by SSBT, which exceeded the value of the securities loaned, amounted to $196,878,393
    and $202,051,827, respectively.
    Interest on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement is charged at a rate equal to the Overnight Bank Financing Rate (OBFR) plus 0.62%, payable monthly. SSBT retains all net fees that may arise in connection with securities lending transactions. If the value of securities available to lend falls below a prescribed level, the interest rate may be increased. If the Fund utilizes less than 50% of the commitment amount, it will be charged a monthly non-usage fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the commitment. The Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon 90 days’ prior written notice to SSBT. If certain asset coverage and collateral requirements or other covenants are not met, the Agreement could be deemed in default and result in termination. At April 30, 2025, the Fund had borrowings outstanding under the Agreement of $370 million at an annual interest rate of 4.95%, which are shown as Liquidity Agreement borrowings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of the borrowings at April 30, 2025 approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the Agreement would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 9) at April 30, 2025. For the six months ended April 30, 2025, the aggregate average borrowings under the Agreement and the average annual interest rate (excluding fees) were $370,000,000 and 5.03%, respectively.
    8  Affiliated Investments
    At April 30, 2025, the value of the Fund's investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $17,309,067, which represents 1.2% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in such investments by the Fund for the six months ended April 30, 2025 were as follows:

    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 fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
    In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

    10  Risks and Uncertainties
    Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
    Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country, and by acts of terrorism and war. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Securities that trade or are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

    Eaton Vance Funds
    IMPORTANT NOTICES

    Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“EQ”), the closed-end funds transfer agent, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct EQ, or your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact EQ or your financial intermediary. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by EQ or your financial intermediary.
    Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
    Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. You may also access proxy voting information for the Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios at www.eatonvance.com/
    proxyvoting.
    Share Repurchase Program. The Fund's Board of Trustees has approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Fund to repurchase up to 10% of its common shares outstanding as of the last day of the prior calendar year in open-market transactions at a discount to net asset value. The repurchase program does not obligate the Fund to purchase a specific amount of shares. The Fund's repurchase activity, including the number of shares purchased, average price and average discount to net asset value, is disclosed in the Fund's annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders.
    Additional Notice to Shareholders. If applicable, a Fund may also redeem or purchase its outstanding preferred shares in order to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, borrowing or rating agency requirements or for other purposes as it deems appropriate or necessary.
    Closed-End Fund Information. Eaton Vance closed-end funds make fund performance data and certain information about portfolio characteristics available on the Eaton Vance website shortly after the end of each month. Other information about the funds is available on the website. The funds’ net asset value per share is readily accessible on the Eaton Vance website. Portfolio holdings for the most recent month-end are also posted to the website approximately 30 days following the end of the month. This information is available at www.eatonvance.com on the fund information pages under “Closed-End Funds & Term Trusts.”
