**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.**

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance<sup>†</sup>

------

Economic and Market Conditions

The 12-month period starting December 1, 2021, was dominated by the ongoing effects of one black swan event -- the COVID-19 pandemic -- and fallout from another -- Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In the opening month of the period, stock investors as well as consumers appeared to take a "glass is half full" approach. In both the U.S. and Europe, consumers celebrated the holidays by spending money saved earlier in the pandemic. Major U.S. equity indexes closed at new all-time highs as 2021 came to a close.

But as the new year began, investors appeared to reevaluate the twin threats of inflation and interest rate hikes, and stock performance turned negative. In February, Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent shock waves through U.S. and global markets, exacerbating inflationary pressures on energy and food costs. Central banks around the world -- including the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed), the Bank of England, and the European Central Bank -- initiated their first interest rate hikes in years. In Europe, looming energy shortages caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict pushed inflation rates even higher and stock prices lower during the period.

In the U.S., investors began to expect the Fed would raise interest rates at every policy meeting in 2022 and, in turn, worried that aggressive rate hikes could tip the economy into recession. At its June, July, September, and November 2022 policy meetings, the Fed hiked the federal funds rate 0.75% each time -- to a 3.75%-4.00% range -- its first moves of that magnitude since 1994. Higher interest rates, inflation, and recessionary worries drove stock prices down around the globe.

In October and November 2022, however, U.S. and European stocks delivered positive performance for the first time in months. The period-end rally was driven by a combination of better-than-expected U.S. company earnings, improving investor sentiment that stocks had been oversold in August and September, government measures to address Europe's energy crisis, declining year-over-year inflation, and hope that the Fed was about to temper the size of its rate hikes.

Meanwhile in the world's second-largest economy, China's zero-COVID policy severely restricted its economic output. The MSCI Golden Dragon Index, a measure of Chinese large-cap and mid-cap stocks, was one of the worst-performing major indexes during the period, declining 24.53%.

Major equity indexes elsewhere also suffered losses. For the period as a whole, the MSCI ACWI Index, a broad measure of global equities, returned -11.62%; the S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned -9.21%; and the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned -25.59%. Overseas, the MSCI EAFE Index of developed-market international equities returned -10.14%; while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, dragged down by its China allocation, returned -17.43% during the period.

Fund Performance

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022, Eaton Vance Focused Global Opportunities Fund (the Fund) returned –11.42% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI World Index (the Index), which returned -10.86%.

No exposure to the energy sector, the best-performing sector within the Index during the period, detracted from Fund performance versus the Index. Stock selections in the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from performance relative to the Index as well.

Within the industrials sector, the Fund's out-of-Index position in warehousing logistics provider GXO Logistics, Inc. (GXO) hurt returns versus the Index. GXO's stock price declined due to investor concerns that future growth might be hurt by an economic slowdown in Europe -- GXO's principal market -- and by a rising U.S. dollar that lowered the value of overseas revenues.

Elsewhere in industrials, the Fund's overweight position in Irish building materials company Kingspan Group PLC (Kingspan) detracted from Fund returns relative to the Index during the period. Kingspan's stock price declined sharply after the firm posted strong quarterly sales, but announced that future delivery orders had weakened. By period-end, Kingspan was sold from the Fund.

Within the consumer discretionary sector, an overweight position in Germany-based athletic apparel company adidas AG (Adidas) detracted from relative returns versus the Index. Several factors contributed to a decline in Adidas' stock price during the period, including lower sales forecasts amid initiatives to liquidate excess inventory; the termination of Adidas' partnership with Kanye West's Yeezy brand; lower revenues in China -- which accounted for nearly a quarter of Adidas' sales; and the unexpected resignation of Adidas' CEO. By period-end, Adidas was sold from the Fund.

In contrast, stock selections and an overweight position in the consumer staples sector; stock selections in the financials sector; and stock selections and an underweight position in the information technology sector contributed to Fund performance versus the Index during the period.

<br> *Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the redemption of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, 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.*

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance<sup>†</sup> — continued

------

In the consumer staples sector, an overweight position in American beverage firm Coca-Cola Co. (Coca-Cola) contributed to relative returns versus the Index. While the company suspended business in Russia due to the war in Ukraine, Coca-Cola's stock price rose as revenue and market share across other overseas markets -- and in the U.S. -- increased during the period.

In the financials sector, the Fund's overweight position in British multinational banking and financial services company HSBC Holdings PLC (HSBC) rose in price and contributed to returns versus the Index. HSBC posted strong earnings growth and expanded profit margins after several of its key businesses benefited from rising global interest rates. By period-end, HSBC was sold from the Fund.

Fund Expenses

------

#### Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022).

#### Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

#### Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

1 Significant Accounting Policies

Eaton Vance Focused Global Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Growth Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.

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.**

**Foreign Securities and Currencies. Foreign securities 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 generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities 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 that meet certain criteria, the Fund's Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities 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.**

**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, which became effective September 8, 2022, 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 and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable countries' tax rules and rates.

D Federal 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.

As of November 30, 2022, 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 Expenses—The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.

------

F 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.

G 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.

H Indemnifications—Under the Trust'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 Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust 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.

2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information

It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) of all or substantially all of its net investment income and to distribute annually all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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.

The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Year Ended November 30,** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Year Ended November 30,** |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2022** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2021** |

| Long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$623397 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$— |

3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The investment adviser and administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory and administrative services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Average Daily Net Assets** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Annual Fee Rate** |
| Up to $500 million | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.800% |
| $500 million but less than $1 billion | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.775% |
| $1 billion but less than $2.5 billion | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.750% |
| $2.5 billion but less than $5 billion | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.730% |
| $5 billion and over | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.715% |

---

For the year ended November 30, 2022, the investment adviser and administration fee amounted to $63,425 or 0.80% of the Fund's average daily net 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 and administration fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. Effective April 26, 2022, 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 and administration 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 year ended November 30, 2022, the investment adviser and administration fee paid was reduced by $158 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by EVM. EVM did not receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.

EVM and EVAIL have agreed to reimburse the Fund's expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only and excluding such expenses as borrowing costs, taxes or litigation expenses) exceed 1.20% and 0.95% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class A and Class I, respectively. This agreement may be changed or terminated after March 31, 2023. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and EVAIL were allocated $135,269 in total of the Fund's operating expenses for the year ended November 30, 2022.

EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended November 30, 2022, EVM earned $625 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund's principal underwriter, received no sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended November 30, 2022. EVD received distribution and service fees from Class A shares (see Note 4).

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 and administration 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. For the year ended November 30, 2022, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.

4 Distribution Plan

The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended November 30, 2022 amounted to $26 for Class A shares.

Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).

5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

Class A shares may be subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if redeemed within 12 months (18 months prior to April 29, 2022) of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. For the year ended November 30, 2022, the Fund was informed that EVD received no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.

6 Purchases and Sales of Investments

Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $4,768,873 and $2,301,616, respectively, for the year ended November 30, 2022.

7 Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Fund's Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

8 Line of Credit

The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $725 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 25, 2022, the borrowing limit was decreased from $800 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Also in connection with the renewal of the agreement, an arrangement fee totaling $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended November 30, 2022.

9 Investments in Affiliated Funds

At November 30, 2022, the value of the Fund's investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $60,947, which represents 0.6% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in affiliated funds by the Fund for the year ended November 30, 2022 were as follows:

10 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.

At November 30, 2022, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund's investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Asset Description** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Level 1** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Level 2** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Level 3** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Total** |

11 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. 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.

#### Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks of disease, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

12 Proposed Plan of Reorganization

In December 2022, the Trustees of the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Fund is expected to be reorganized with and into a newly formed series of Calvert Management Series. The proposed reorganization is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Fund and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

------

To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Growth Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance Focused Global Opportunities Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Focused Global Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Growth Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of November 30, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2022, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP<br> Boston, Massachusetts<br> January 25, 2023

We have served as the auditor of one or more Eaton Vance investment companies since 1959.

Board of Trustees' Contract Approval

Overview of the Contract Review Process

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that the investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year-to-year only if its continuation is approved on an annual basis by a vote of the fund's board of trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund ("independent trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.

At a meeting held on June 8, 2022, the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the "Board") that oversee the registered investment companies advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (the "Eaton Vance Funds"), including a majority of the independent trustees (the "Independent Trustees"), voted to approve the continuation of existing investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements<sup>1</sup> for each of the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. The Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of its Contract Review Committee, which is a committee exclusively comprised of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by the adviser and sub-adviser to each of the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of formal meetings held between April and June 2022. Members of the Contract Review Committee also considered information received at prior meetings of the Board and its committees, to the extent such information was relevant to the Contract Review Committee's annual evaluation of the investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements.

In connection with its evaluation of the investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements, the Board considered various information relating to the Eaton Vance Funds. This included information applicable to all or groups of Eaton Vance Funds, which is referenced immediately below, and information applicable to the particular Eaton Vance Fund covered by this report (additional fund-specific information is referenced below under "Results of the Contract Review Process"). (For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, references to "each fund" in this section may include information that was considered at the portfolio-level.)

*Information about each Adviser and Sub-adviser*

Accordingly, references to "sub-adviser" or "sub-advisory agreement" in this "Overview" section may not be applicable to the particular Eaton Vance Fund covered by this report. Following the "Overview" section, further information regarding the Board's evaluation of a fund's contractual arrangements is included under the "Results of the Contract Review Process" section.

• The terms of each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement.

During the various meetings of the Board and its committees over the course of the year leading up to the June 8, 2022 meeting, the Trustees received information from portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the advisers and sub-advisers of the funds regarding investment and performance matters, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing the funds' investment objectives. The Trustees also received information regarding risk management techniques employed in connection with the management of the funds. The Board and its committees evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management, Boston Management and Research and fund sub-advisers, with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Trustees held regular teleconferences to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements.

The Contract Review Committee was advised throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee, with the advice of such counsel, exercised their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement. In evaluating each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, including the fee structures and other terms contained in such agreements, the members of the Contract Review Committee were also informed by multiple years of analysis and discussion with the adviser and sub-adviser to each of the Eaton Vance Funds.

Results of the Contract Review Process

Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory and administrative agreement between Eaton Vance Focused Global Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") and Eaton Vance Management (the "Adviser"), and the sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd. (the "Sub-adviser"), an affiliate of the Adviser, with respect to the Fund, including their respective fee structures, are in the

interests of shareholders and, therefore, recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. Based on the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory and administrative agreement and the sub-advisory agreement for the Fund.

*Nature, Extent and Quality of Services*

In considering whether to approve the investment advisory and administrative agreement and the sub-advisory agreement for the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser.

The Board considered the Adviser's and the Sub-adviser's management capabilities and investment processes in light of the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. Regarding the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser's responsibilities with respect to oversight of the Sub-adviser, as well as the coordination between the Adviser and the Sub-adviser on research and other investment matters. With respect to the Sub-adviser, the Board considered the resources available to the Sub-adviser in fulfilling its duties under the sub-advisory agreement and the Sub-adviser's abilities and experience in implementing the Fund's investment strategy. In particular, the Board considered the abilities and experience of the Sub-adviser's investment professionals in investing in equity securities, including investing in both U.S. and foreign common stocks. The Board considered the international investment capabilities of the Sub-adviser, which is based in London, and the benefits to the Fund of having portfolio management services involving investments in international equities provided by investment professionals located abroad. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of the Adviser and other factors, including the reputation and resources of the Adviser to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the time and attention devoted to the Eaton Vance Funds, including the Fund, by senior management, as well as the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of the Fund, including the provision of administrative services. The Board also considered the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund.

The Board considered the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including the Sub-adviser. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also considered the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

The Board considered other administrative services provided or overseen by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large fund complex offering exposure to a variety of asset classes and investment disciplines, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory and administrative agreement and the sub-advisory agreement.

*Fund Performance*

The Board compared the Fund's investment performance to that of comparable funds identified by an independent data provider (the peer group), as well as an appropriate benchmark index and a custom peer group of similarly managed funds. The Board's review included comparative performance data with respect to the Fund for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. In this regard, the Board noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than the median performance of the Fund's custom peer group and lower than the median performance of the Fund's peer group for the three-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark index for the three-year period. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.

*Management Fees and Expenses*

The Board considered contractual fee rates payable by the Fund for advisory and administrative services (referred to collectively as "management fees"). As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund's management fees and total expense ratio for the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, as compared to those of comparable funds, before and after giving effect to any undertaking to waive fees or reimburse expenses. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on the Fund's total expense ratio relative to comparable funds.

After considering the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.

*Profitability and "Fall-Out" Benefits*

The Board considered the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including the Sub-adviser, in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution or other services.

The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Sub-adviser, are deemed not to be excessive.

The Board also considered direct or indirect fall-out benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Sub-adviser, in connection with their respective relationships with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser or the Sub-adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.

*Economies of Scale*

In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from economies of scale, if any, with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale, if any, when they are realized by the Adviser. The Board also concluded that the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow the Fund to continue to benefit from any economies of scale in the future.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

------

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines "liquidity risk" as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors' interests in the fund. The Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund's investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund's liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund's investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund's portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.

At a meeting of the Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors on June 7, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator's ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund's prospectus for more information regarding the Fund's exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

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. *Eaton Vance, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial intermediary, otherwise.* If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact 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 Eaton Vance 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.

**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.**

**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.**

**This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus. Before investing, investors should consider carefully the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund. This and other important information is contained in the summary prospectus and prospectus, which can be obtained from a financial intermediary. Prospective investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For further information, please call 1-800-262-1122.**

International Small-Cap Fund

November 30, 2022

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance<sup>†</sup>

------

Economic and Market Conditions

The 12-month period starting December 1, 2021, was dominated by the ongoing effects of one black swan event -- the COVID-19 pandemic -- and fallout from another -- Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In the opening month of the period, stock investors as well as consumers appeared to take a "glass is half full" approach. In both the U.S. and Europe, consumers celebrated the holidays by spending money saved earlier in the pandemic. Major U.S. equity indexes closed at new all-time highs as 2021 came to a close.

But as the new year began, investors appeared to reevaluate the twin threats of inflation and interest rate hikes, and stock performance turned negative. In February, Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent shock waves through U.S. and global markets, exacerbating inflationary pressures on energy and food costs. Central banks around the world -- including the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed), the Bank of England, and the European Central Bank -- initiated their first interest rate hikes in years. In Europe, looming energy shortages caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict pushed inflation rates even higher and stock prices lower during the period.

In the U.S., investors began to expect the Fed would raise interest rates at every policy meeting in 2022 and, in turn, worried that aggressive rate hikes could tip the economy into recession. At its June, July, September, and November 2022 policy meetings, the Fed hiked the federal funds rate 0.75% each time -- to a 3.75%-4.00% range -- its first moves of that magnitude since 1994. Higher interest rates, inflation, and recessionary worries drove stock prices down around the globe.

In October and November 2022, however, U.S. and European stocks delivered positive performance for the first time in months. The period-end rally was driven by a combination of better-than-expected U.S. company earnings, improving investor sentiment that stocks had been oversold in August and September, government measures to address Europe's energy crisis, declining year-over-year inflation, and hope that the Fed was about to temper the size of its rate hikes.

Meanwhile in the world's second-largest economy, China's zero-COVID policy severely restricted its economic output. The MSCI Golden Dragon Index, a measure of Chinese large-cap and mid-cap stocks, was one of the worst-performing major indexes during the period, declining 24.53%.

Major equity indexes elsewhere also suffered losses. For the period as a whole, the MSCI ACWI Index, a broad measure of global equities, returned -11.62%; the S&P 500® Index, a broad measure of U.S. stocks, returned -9.21%; and the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index returned -25.59%. Overseas, the MSCI EAFE Index of developed-market international equities returned -10.14%; while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, dragged down by its China allocation, returned -17.43% during the period.

Fund Performance

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022, Eaton Vance International Small-Cap Fund (the Fund) returned -20.24% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index (the Index), which returned -17.71%.

On an individual stock basis, the largest detractors from Fund performance versus the Index were overweight positions in Sdiptech AB (Sdiptech), PolyPeptide Group AG (Polypeptide), and RWS Holdings PLC. (RWS).

Stockholm-based Sdiptech provides infrastructure-related products and services that increasingly focus on ESG -- environmental, social, and governance -- projects in areas such as transportation, water, and power. Sdiptech's stock price declined after the firm's first-quarter 2022 earnings report cited rising costs and a decline in profit margins.

Polypeptide is a Swiss manufacturer of peptides for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Polypeptide's share price declined after the company announced lower sales than expected for the first half of 2022. Decreased profitability -- due to inflationary pressures and capital expenditures to accommodate growth -- was an additional headwind for Polypeptide during the period.

U.K.-based RWS is the largest language-services provider in the world. Its share price declined in the face of earnings weakness during the period.

On a sector basis, stock selections in the industrials and consumer staples sectors detracted from Fund performance relative to the Index, as did stock selections and an overweight position in the health care sector -- the worst performing sector within the Index during the period.

In contrast, the largest contributors to Fund performance versus the Index on an individual stock basis were overweight positions in ARC Resources, Ltd. (ARC) and Tosei Corp. (Tosei).

Shares in Canada-based energy exploration and production company ARC rallied on rising oil and gas prices during the period, especially after Russia invaded Ukraine and Russian oil exports were sanctioned by many NATO countries.

*See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.*

<br> *Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance<sup>†</sup> — continued

------

Tosei is a Japanese real estate investment and management firm focused on small- and medium-size Tokyo properties. Tosei's share price rose steadily during the period as its business properties gradually recovered from the early negative effects of the pandemic, and the company provided a strong outlook for future earnings growth.

On a sector basis, stock selections and underweight positions in the communication services and consumer discretionary sectors, along with stock selections in the information technology sector, contributed to Fund performance versus the Index during the period.

Fund Expenses

------

#### Example
As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022).

#### Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

#### Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

| **Actual** |  |  |  |  |
| Class A | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1000.00 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$955.50 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$6.42\*\* | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.31% |
| Class I | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1000.00 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$956.40 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$5.25\*\* | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.07% |

| (5% return per year before expenses) |  |  |  |  |
| Class A | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1000.00 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1018.50 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$6.63\*\* | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.31% |
| Class I | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1000.00 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1019.70 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$5.42\*\* | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.07% |

---

\* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on May 31, 2022.

\*\* Absent an allocation of certain expenses to affiliates, expenses would be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

1 Significant Accounting Policies

Eaton Vance International Small-Cap Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Growth Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.

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.**

**Foreign Securities and Currencies. Foreign securities 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 generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities 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 that meet certain criteria, the Fund's Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities 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.**

**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, which became effective September 8, 2022, 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 and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable countries' tax rules and rates. Distributions from investment companies are recorded as dividend income, capital gains or return of capital based on the nature of the distribution.

D Federal 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.

As of November 30, 2022, 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 Expenses—The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.

F 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.

G 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.

H Indemnifications—Under the Trust'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 Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust 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.

2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information

It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution annually (normally in December) of all or substantially all of its net investment income and to distribute annually all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. 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.

The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Year Ended November 30,** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Year Ended November 30,** |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2022** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2021** |
| Ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1162416 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$547883 |
| Long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$3385223 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$— |

---

As of November 30, 2022, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Undistributed ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$623707 |
| Deferred capital losses | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2663234) |
| Net unrealized depreciation | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (941648) |
| **Accumulated loss** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**$(2981175)** |

---

At November 30, 2022, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $2,663,234 which would reduce its taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at November 30, 2022, $2,663,234 are short-term.

| **Net unrealized depreciation** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**$(941290)** |

3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The investment adviser and administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory and administrative services rendered to the Fund. The investment adviser and administration fee is computed at an annual rate as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets as follows and is payable monthly:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Average Daily Net Assets** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Annual Fee Rate** |
| Up to $500 million | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.900% |
| $500 million but less than $1 billion | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.850% |
| $1 billion but less than $2.5 billion | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.825% |
| $2.5 billion but less than $5 billion | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.800% |
| $5 billion and over | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.780% |

---

For the year ended November 30, 2022, the investment adviser and administration fee amounted to $544,556 or 0.90% of the Fund's average daily net 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. EVAIL uses the portfolio management, research and other resources of its affiliate, MSIM Fund Management (Ireland) Limited (MSIM FMIL), to render investment advisory services to the Fund. MSIM FMIL has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with EVAIL pursuant to which MSIM FMIL is considered a participating affiliate of the sub-adviser as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allowing U.S. registered investment advisers to use portfolio management or research resources of unregistered advisory affiliates subject to the supervision of a U.S. registered adviser. EVM pays EVAIL a portion of its investment adviser and administration fee for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund. Effective April 26, 2022, 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 and administration 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 year ended November 30, 2022, the investment adviser and administration fee paid was reduced by $1,010 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Fund. Prior to April 26, 2022, the Fund may have invested its cash in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by EVM. EVM did not receive a fee for advisory services provided to Cash Reserves Fund.

EVM and EVAIL have agreed to reimburse the Fund's expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only) exceed 1.30% and 1.05% (1.40% and 1.15% prior to July 1, 2022) of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class A and Class I, respectively, through March 31, 2023. Thereafter, the reimbursement may be changed or terminated at any time. Pursuant to this agreement, EVM and EVAIL were allocated $42,179 in total of the Fund's operating expenses for the year ended November 30, 2022.

EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended November 30, 2022, EVM earned $2,727 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund's principal underwriter, received no sales charges on sales of Class A shares for the year ended November 30, 2022. EVD received distribution and service fees from Class A shares (see Note 4).

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 and administration 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. For the year ended November 30, 2022, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.

4 Distribution Plan

The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended November 30, 2022 amounted to $1,522 for Class A shares.

Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).

5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

Class A shares may be subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if redeemed within 12 months (18 months prior to April 29, 2022) of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. For the year ended November 30, 2022, the Fund was informed that EVD received no CDSCs paid by Class A shareholders.

6 Purchases and Sales of Investments

8 Line of Credit

The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $725 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks, which is in effect through October 24, 2023. In connection with the renewal of the agreement on October 25, 2022, the borrowing limit was decreased from $800 million. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely for temporary purposes related to redemptions and other short-term cash needs. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Also in connection with the renewal of the agreement, an arrangement fee totaling $150,000 was incurred that was allocated to the participating portfolios and funds. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended November 30, 2022.

9 Securities Lending Agreement

The Fund has established a securities lending agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) as securities lending agent in which the Fund lends portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in exchange for collateral consisting of either cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. Cash collateral is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market fund registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund earns interest on the amount invested but it must pay (and at times receive from) the broker a loan rebate fee computed as a varying percentage of the collateral received. For security loans secured by non-cash collateral, the Fund earns a negotiated lending fee from the borrower. A portion of the income earned by the Fund from its investment of cash collateral, net of rebate fees, and lending fees received is allocated to SSBT for its services as lending agent and the portion allocated to the Fund is presented as securities lending income, net on the Statement of Operations. Non-cash collateral is held by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund and cannot be sold or re-pledged by the Fund; accordingly, such collateral is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund is subject to possible delay in the recovery of loaned securities. Pursuant to the securities lending agreement, SSBT has provided indemnification to the Fund in the event of default by a borrower with respect to a loan. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of cash collateral.

At November 30, 2022, the Fund had no securities on loan.

10 Investments in Affiliated Funds

At November 30, 2022, the value of the Fund's investment in funds that may be deemed to be affiliated was $1,443,827, which represents 2.5% of the Fund's net assets. Transactions in affiliated funds by the Fund for the year ended November 30, 2022 were as follows:

11 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.

12 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. 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.

#### Pandemic Risk
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019 and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, changes to healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Health crises caused by outbreaks of disease, such as the coronavirus outbreak, may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks and disrupt normal market conditions and operations. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries and industries, and could continue to affect the market in significant and unforeseen ways. Other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future may have similar effects. Any such impact could adversely affect the Fund's performance, or the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

------

To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Growth Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance International Small-Cap Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance International Small-Cap Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Growth Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of November 30, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of November 30, 2022, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Eaton Vance investment companies since 1959.

Overview of the Contract Review Process

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that the investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year-to-year only if its continuation is approved on an annual basis by a vote of the fund's board of trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund ("independent trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.

At a meeting held on June 8, 2022, the Boards of Trustees/Directors (collectively, the "Board") that oversee the registered investment companies advised by Eaton Vance Management or its affiliate, Boston Management and Research (the "Eaton Vance Funds"), including a majority of the independent trustees (the "Independent Trustees"), voted to approve the continuation of existing investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements<sup>1</sup> for each of the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. The Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of its Contract Review Committee, which is a committee exclusively comprised of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by the adviser and sub-adviser to each of the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of formal meetings held between April and June 2022. Members of the Contract Review Committee also considered information received at prior meetings of the Board and its committees, to the extent such information was relevant to the Contract Review Committee's annual evaluation of the investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements.

In connection with its evaluation of the investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements, the Board considered various information relating to the Eaton Vance Funds. This included information applicable to all or groups of Eaton Vance Funds, which is referenced immediately below, and information applicable to the particular Eaton Vance Fund covered by this report (additional fund-specific information is referenced below under "Results of the Contract Review Process"). (For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, references to "each fund" in this section may include information that was considered at the portfolio-level.)

Accordingly, references to "sub-adviser" or "sub-advisory agreement" in this "Overview" section may not be applicable to the particular Eaton Vance Fund covered by this report.

During the various meetings of the Board and its committees over the course of the year leading up to the June 8, 2022 meeting, the Trustees received information from portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the advisers and sub-advisers of the funds regarding investment and performance matters, and considered various investment and trading strategies used in pursuing the funds' investment objectives. The Trustees also received information regarding risk management techniques employed in connection with the management of the funds. The Board and its committees evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management, Boston Management and Research and fund sub-advisers, with respect to such matters. In addition to the formal meetings of the Board and its committees, the Independent Trustees held regular teleconferences to discuss, among other topics, matters relating to the continuation of investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements.

The Contract Review Committee was advised throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee, with the advice of such counsel, exercised their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement. In evaluating each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement, including the fee structures and other terms contained in such agreements, the members of the Contract Review Committee were also informed by multiple years of analysis and discussion with the adviser and sub-adviser to each of the Eaton Vance Funds.

Results of the Contract Review Process

Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory and administrative agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between Eaton Vance International Small-Cap Fund (the "Fund") and Eaton Vance Management (the "Adviser"), and the sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-advisory Agreement") between the Adviser and Eaton Vance Advisers International Ltd.

including their respective fee structures, are in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. Based on the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-advisory Agreement for the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser.

The Board considered the Adviser's and the Sub-adviser's management capabilities and investment processes in light of the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund. Regarding the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser's responsibilities with respect to oversight of the Sub-adviser, as well as the coordination between the Adviser and the Sub-adviser on research and other investment matters. With respect to the Sub-adviser, the Board considered the resources available to the Sub-adviser in fulfilling its duties under the Sub-advisory Agreement and the Sub-adviser's abilities and experience in implementing the Fund's investment strategy. In particular, the Board considered the abilities and experience of the Sub-adviser's investment professionals in investing in equity securities, including investing in both U.S. and foreign common stocks. The Board considered the international investment capabilities of the Sub-adviser, which is based in London, and the benefits to the Fund of having portfolio management services involving investments in international equities provided by investment professionals located abroad. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, the compensation methods of the Adviser and other factors, including the reputation and resources of the Adviser to recruit and retain highly qualified research, advisory and supervisory investment professionals. In addition, the Board considered the time and attention devoted to the Eaton Vance Funds, including the Fund, by senior management, as well as the infrastructure, operational capabilities and support staff in place to assist in the portfolio management and operations of the Fund, including the provision of administrative services. The Board also considered the business-related and other risks to which the Adviser or its affiliates may be subject in managing the Fund.

The Board considered the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including the Sub-adviser. The Board considered compliance and reporting matters regarding, among other things, personal trading by investment professionals, disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also considered the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

The Board considered other administrative services provided or overseen by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large fund complex offering exposure to a variety of asset classes and investment disciplines, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.

After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-advisory Agreement.

Fund Performance

The Board compared the Fund's investment performance to that of comparable funds identified by an independent data provider (the peer group), as well as an appropriate benchmark index and a custom peer group of similarly managed funds. The Board's review included comparative performance data with respect to the Fund for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. In this regard, the Board noted that the performance of the Fund was consistent with the median performance of the Fund's custom peer group and lower than the median performance of the Fund's peer group for the three-year period. The Board also noted that the performance of the Fund was higher than its benchmark index for the three-year period. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.

Management Fees and Expenses

The Board considered contractual fee rates payable by the Fund for advisory and administrative services (referred to collectively as "management fees"). As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund's management fees and total expense ratio for the one-year period ended December 31, 2021, as compared to those of comparable funds, before and after giving effect to any undertaking to waive fees or reimburse expenses. The Board also received and considered information about the services offered and the fee rates charged by the Adviser and/or Sub-adviser to other types of accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are substantially similar to and/or managed in a similar investment style as the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the differences in the nature and scope of services the Adviser and/or Sub-adviser provide to the Fund as compared to other types of accounts and the material differences in compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks to the Adviser and/or Sub-adviser as between the Fund and other types of accounts. The Board also considered certain Fund specific factors that had an impact on the Fund's total expense ratio relative to comparable funds, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee.

After considering the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.

Profitability and "Fall-Out" Benefits

The Board considered the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof, including the Sub-adviser, in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution or other services.

The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Sub-adviser, are deemed not to be excessive.

The Board also considered direct or indirect fall-out benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Sub-adviser, in connection with their respective relationships with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser or the Sub-adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.

Economies of Scale

In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from economies of scale, if any, with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of the Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of the Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale, if any, when they are realized by the Adviser. The Board also concluded that the structure of the advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow the Fund to continue to benefit from any economies of scale in the future.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

------

The Fund has implemented a written liquidity risk management program (Program) and related procedures to manage its liquidity in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Liquidity Rule). The Liquidity Rule defines "liquidity risk" as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors' interests in the fund. The Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors has designated the investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program and the related procedures. The administrator has established a Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee (Committee) to perform the functions necessary to administer the Program. As part of the Program, the administrator is responsible for identifying illiquid investments and categorizing the relative liquidity of the Fund's investments in accordance with the Liquidity Rule. Under the Program, the administrator assesses, manages, and periodically reviews the Fund's liquidity risk, and is responsible for making certain reports to the Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the liquidity of the Fund's investments, and to notify the Board of Trustees/Directors and the SEC of certain liquidity events specified in the Liquidity Rule. The liquidity of the Fund's portfolio investments is determined based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations under the Program.

At a meeting of the Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors on June 7, 2022, the Committee provided a written report to the Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program, as well as the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum (if applicable) for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Review Period). The Program operated effectively during the Review Period, supporting the administrator's ability to assess, manage and monitor Fund liquidity risk, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. During the Review Period, the Fund met redemption requests on a timely basis.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund's prospectus for more information regarding the Fund's exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

**Fund Management. The Trustees of Eaton Vance Growth Trust (the Trust) are responsible for the overall management and supervision of the Trust's affairs. The Board members and officers of the Trust are listed below. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the last five years. Board members hold indefinite terms of office. Each Trustee holds office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, subject to a prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Under the terms of the Fund's current Trustee retirement policy, an Independent Trustee must retire and resign as a Trustee on the earlier of: (i) the first day of July following his or her 74th birthday; or (ii), with limited exception, December 31st of the 20th year in which he or she has served as a Trustee. However, if such retirement and resignation would cause the Fund to be out of compliance with Section 16 of the 1940 Act or any other regulations or guidance of the SEC, then such retirement and resignation will not become effective until such time as action has been taken for the Fund to be in compliance therewith. The "noninterested Trustees" consist of those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as that term is defined under the 1940 Act. The business address of each Board member and officer is Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. As used below, "BMR" refers to Boston Management and Research, "EVC" refers to Eaton Vance Corp., "EV" refers to EV LLC, "EVM" refers to Eaton Vance Management and "EVD" refers to Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc.

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. *Eaton Vance, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial intermediary, otherwise.* If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact 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 Eaton Vance 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.
