EATON VANCE MULTI-CAP GROWTH FUND
Supplement to Prospectus dated January 1, 2012

3.  The following replaces “Fees and Expenses of the Fund” under “Fund Summary” and reflects the addition of Class I shares and certain other changes:

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.  You may qualify for a reduced sales charge if you invest, or agree to invest over a 13-month period, at least $50,000 in Eaton Vance Funds.  More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and in Sales Charges beginning on page 12 of this Prospectus and page 19 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

9.  The following replaces the first six paragraphs and related table under “Management.” in “Management and Organization”:

Management.  The Fund’s investment adviser is Boston Management and Research (“BMR”), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (“Eaton Vance”), with offices at Two International Place, Boston, MA 02110.  Eaton Vance has been managing assets since 1924 and managing mutual funds since 1931.  Eaton Vance and its affiliates currently manage over $185 billion on behalf of mutual funds, institutional clients and individuals.

11.  The following is added to “Purchasing Shares”:

Class I Shares

Class I shares are offered to clients of financial intermediaries who (i) charge such clients an ongoing fee for advisory, investment, consulting or similar services, or (ii) have entered into an agreement with the principal underwriter to offer Class I shares through a no-load network or platform.  Such clients may include individuals, corporations, endowments, foundations and qualified plans (including tax-deferred retirement plans and profit sharing plans).  Class I shares also are offered to investment and institutional clients of Eaton Vance and its affiliates and certain persons affiliated with Eaton Vance and certain Fund service providers.  Your initial investment must be at least $250,000.  Subsequent investments of any amount may be made at any time, including through automatic investment each month or quarter from your bank account.  You may make automatic investments of $50 or more each month or each quarter from your bank account.  You can establish bank automated investing on the account application or by providing written instructions.  Please call 1-800-262-1122 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) for further information.   

The minimum initial investment is waived for persons affiliated with Eaton Vance, its affiliates and certain Fund service providers (as described in the Statement of Additional Information).  The initial minimum investment also is waived for individual accounts of a financial intermediary that charges an ongoing fee for its services or offers Class I shares through a no-load network or platform (in each case, as described above), provided the aggregate value of such accounts invested in Class I shares is at least $250,000 (or is anticipated by the principal underwriter to reach $250,000) and for corporations, endowments, foundations and qualified plans with assets of at least $100 million.

Class I shares may be purchased through a financial intermediary or by requesting your bank to transmit immediately available funds (Federal Funds) by wire.  To make an initial investment by wire, you must complete an account application and telephone Eaton Vance Shareholder Services at 1-800-262-1122 to be assigned an account number.  You may request an account application by calling 1-800-262-1122 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).  Shareholder Services must be advised by telephone of each additional investment by wire.

12.  The following is added to “Choosing a Share Class.” under “Purchasing Shares”:

Class I shares are offered to clients of financial intermediaries who (i) charge such clients an ongoing fee for advisory, investment, consulting or similar services, or (ii) have entered into an agreement with the principal underwriter to offer Class I shares through a no-load network or platform.  Such clients may include individuals, corporations, endowments, foundations and qualified plans (as described above).  Class I shares are also offered to investment and institutional clients of Eaton Vance and its affiliates and certain persons affiliated with Eaton Vance and certain Fund service providers.  Class I shares do not pay distribution or service fees.

13.  The following replaces the last paragraph under “Reducing or Eliminating Class A Sales Charges.” in “Sales Charges”:

Class A shares are offered at net asset value (without a sales charge) to tax-deferred retirement plans and deferred compensation plans, and to clients of financial intermediaries who (i) charge an ongoing fee for advisory, investment, consulting or similar services; or (ii) have entered into an agreement with the principal underwriter to offer Class A shares through a no-load network, platform, or self-directed brokerage accounts that may or may not charge transaction fees to customers. Such clients may include individuals, corporations, endowments, foundations and pension plans (including tax-deferred retirement plans and profit sharing plans). Class A shares also are offered at net asset value to investment and institutional clients of Eaton Vance and its affiliates; certain persons affiliated with Eaton Vance; and to certain fund service providers as described in the Statement of Additional Information. Class A shares may also be purchased at net asset value pursuant to the reinvestment privilege and exchange privilege and when distributions are reinvested. See “Shareholder Account Features” for details.

14.   The following replaces “Exchange Privilege.” in “Shareholder Account Features”:

Exchange Privilege. You may exchange your Fund shares for shares of the same Class of another Eaton Vance fund. Exchanges are made at net asset value. If your shares are subject to a CDSC, the CDSC will continue to apply to your new shares at the same CDSC rate. For purposes of the CDSC, your shares will continue to age from the date of your original purchase of Fund shares. Any class of shares of a fund may be exchanged for any other class of shares of that fund, provided that the shares being exchanged are no longer subject to a CDSC and the conditions for investing in the other class of shares described in the applicable prospectus are satisfied.



3


Before exchanging, you should read the prospectus of the new fund carefully. Exchanges are subject to the terms applicable to purchases of the new fund’s shares as set forth in its prospectus. If you wish to exchange shares, write to the transfer agent (see back cover for address), log on to your account at www.eatonvance.com or call 1-800-262-1122. Periodic automatic exchanges are also available. The exchange privilege may be changed or discontinued at any time. You will receive at least 60 days’ notice of any material change to the privilege. This privilege may not be used for “market timing” and may be terminated for market timing accounts or for any other reason. For additional information, see “Restrictions on Excessive Trading and Market Timing” under “Purchasing Shares.” Ordinarily exchanges between different funds are taxable transactions for federal tax purposes, while permitted exchanges of one class for shares of another class of the same fund are not. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of federal, state, local and other taxes to transactions in Fund shares.

15.  The following replaces the paragraph under “Financial Highlights” and the table is added to the Fund’s Financial Highlights table:

The financial highlights are intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance for the period(s) indicated.  Certain information in the tables reflects the financial results for a single Fund share.  The total returns in the tables represent the rate an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value).  This information (except for the six months ended February 29, 2012) has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, and except that information for the year ended August 31, 2007 was audited by another independent registered public accounting firm.  The report of Deloitte & Touche LLP and the Fund’s financial statements are incorporated herein by reference and included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request.  Financial Highlights information is not provided for Class I shares because it has not yet commenced operations prior to the date of this supplement.
