Eaton Vance Short Duration Inflation-Protected Income Fund Class I EIRRX Strategy

The investment seeks real return. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in "inflation protected" instruments, which include (i) inflation-indexed debt obligations of varying maturities issued by the United States and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, corporations and other issuers and (ii) other fixed or floating-rate debt obligations (including junior and senior loans) with respect to which the fund enters into agreements to swap nominal interest payments for payments based on changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index ("CPI") or other measures of inflation. It is non-diversified.
