Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Eaton Vance Corp. (“the Company”) include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As a result, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled affiliates. The Company consolidates any voting interest entity in which the Company’s ownership exceeds 50 percent or where the Company has control. In addition, the Company consolidates any variable interest entity (“VIE”) (including the collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) entity referred to in Note 9) for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company recognizes non-controlling and other beneficial interests in consolidated affiliates in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100 percent. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

From time to time, the Company may maintain a controlling interest in an Eaton Vance open-end registered investment company (a “sponsored fund”). Upon consolidation, the Company retains the specialized accounting treatment of the sponsored fund. Under the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies, underlying investments held by consolidated sponsored funds are carried at fair value, with corresponding changes in fair value reflected in gains and other investment income, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

With limited exceptions, each of the Company’s sponsored funds is organized as a separately managed component (or “series”) of a series trust. All assets of a series irrevocably belong to that series and are subject to the liabilities of that series; under no circumstances are the liabilities of one series payable by another series. Series trusts themselves have no equity investment at risk, but decisions regarding the trustees of the trust and certain key activities of each sponsored fund within the trust, such as appointment of each sponsored fund’s investment adviser, typically reside at the trust level. As a result, shareholders of a sponsored fund that is organized as a series of a series trust lack the ability to control the key decision-making processes that most directly affect the performance of the sponsored fund. Accordingly, the Company believes that each trust is a VIE and each sponsored fund is a silo of a VIE that also meets the definition of a VIE. Having concluded that each silo is a VIE, the primary beneficiary evaluation defaults to an analysis of economic interest. The Company typically holds the majority of the shares of a sponsored fund corresponding to a majority economic interest during the seed investment stage when the fund’s investment track record is being established or when the fund is in the early stages of soliciting third-party investors. The Company consolidates the fund as primary beneficiary during this period. While the sponsored fund is consolidated, fee revenue is recorded, but is eliminated in consolidation.

The Company regularly seeds new sponsored funds and therefore may consolidate a variety of sponsored funds during a given reporting period. Due to the similarity of risks related to the Company’s involvement with each sponsored fund, disclosures required under the VIE model are aggregated, such as those disclosures regarding

the carrying amount and classification of assets of the sponsored funds, and the gains and losses that the Company recognizes from the sponsored funds.

When the Company is no longer deemed to control a sponsored fund, typically when either the Company redeems its shares or shares held by third parties exceed the number of shares held by the Company, the Company deconsolidates the sponsored fund and removes the related assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests from balance sheet accounts and classifies the Company’s remaining investment as either an equity method investment or an available-for-sale investment as applicable. Because consolidated sponsored funds utilize fair-value measurements, there is no incremental gain or loss recognized upon deconsolidation.

The extent of the Company’s exposure to loss with respect to a consolidated sponsored fund is the amount of the Company’s investment in the sponsored fund. The Company is not obligated to provide financial support to sponsored funds, and the assets of sponsored funds can only be used to settle obligations of the sponsored funds. Beneficial interest holders of sponsored funds do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.

3. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance on reporting a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) with respect to foreign currency. The new guidance addresses the accounting for a CTA when a parent either sells a part of or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The Company is evaluating the impact of this change and will adopt the new guidance on November 1, 2014.

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance on reporting amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The new guidance does not change the requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements, but requires new footnote disclosures regarding the reclassification of AOCI by component into net income. The Company will implement the new disclosure requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

4. Consolidated Funds

Underlying investments held by consolidated sponsored funds were included in investments on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and classified as investment securities, trading, at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012. Net investment income related to consolidated sponsored funds was included in gains and other investment income, net, on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. Net investment income was partially offset by amounts attributable to non-controlling interest holders, which are recorded in net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interest holders in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

The following table sets forth the balances related to consolidated sponsored funds that are included on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012 as well as the Company’s net interest in these funds:

(in thousands)	April 30, 2013			October 31, 2012

Investment securities, trading

Investment securities, trading, consist of debt and equity securities held in the portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts. A separately managed account seeded by the Company for product development purposes is not a legal entity subject to consolidation but rather an individual portfolio of securities in the Company’s name managed to establish an investment track record. As a result, the Company looks through the construct of the portfolio to the underlying debt and equity securities and treats these securities as trading investments for accounting and disclosure purposes. The following is a summary of the fair value of investments classified as trading at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012:

(in thousands)	April 30, 2013		October 31, 2012
Debt securities	$	98,225	$	70,805
Equity securities		186,796		119,448
Total investment securities, trading	$	285,021	$	190,253

The Company seeds new investment strategies on a regular basis as a means of establishing investment records that can be used in marketing those strategies to retail and institutional clients. New investment strategies may

be seeded as either sponsored funds or separately managed accounts. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, the Company seeded investments in 9 sponsored funds and 14 separately managed accounts; during the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Company seeded investments in 13 sponsored funds and 3 separately managed accounts.

The Company recognized trading gains related to trading securities still held at the reporting date of $6.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $15.9 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Investment securities, available-for-sale

Investment securities, available-for-sale, consist exclusively of seed investments in certain sponsored funds, privately offered equity funds and closed-end funds, where the company has less than a 20 percent interest in the fund. The following is a summary of the gross unrealized gains and (losses) included in accumulated other comprehensive income related to securities classified as available-for-sale at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012:

April 30, 2013			Gross Unrealized
(in thousands)	Cost		Gains		Losses			Fair Value
Investment securities, available-for-sale	$	13,851	$	5,931	$	(12	)	$	19,770

(in thousands)	Cost		Gains		Losses			Fair Value
Investment securities, available-for-sale	$	22,331	$	8,835	$	(18	)	$	31,148

Net unrealized holding gains (losses) on investment securities, available-for-sale, included in other comprehensive (loss) income were $1.0 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $(2.9) million and $2.7 million for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company reviewed gross unrealized losses of $12,000 as of April 30, 2013 and determined that these losses were not other-than-temporary, primarily because the Company has both the ability and intent to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient to recover such losses. The aggregate fair value of investments with unrealized losses was $0.9 million at April 30, 2013. No investment with a gross unrealized loss has been in a loss position for greater than one year.

The following is a summary of the Company’s realized gains and losses upon disposition of investments classified as available-for-sale for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012:

Investments in equity method investees

On August 6, 2012, the Company completed the purchase of a 49 percent interest in Hexavest Inc. (“Hexavest”), a Montreal, Canada-based investment advisor that provides discretionary management of equity and tactical asset allocations using a predominantly top-down investment style. The Company accounted for the purchase using the equity method. As of April 30, 2013, the investment in Hexavest was comprised of $4.5 million of equity in the net assets of Hexavest, intangible assets of $41.2 million, goodwill of $145.7 million and a deferred tax liability of $11.1 million, for a total carrying value of $180.3 million. As of October 31, 2012, the investment in Hexavest was comprised of $3.4 million of equity in the net assets of Hexavest, intangible assets of $42.7 million, goodwill of $146.6 million and a deferred tax liability of $11.5 million, for a total carrying value of $181.2 million. The Company will be obligated to make two additional payments in respect of the acquired interest if Hexavest exceeds defined annual revenue thresholds in the first and second twelve-month periods following the closing. These payments, if made, will be considered goodwill and will be recorded as additions to the carrying amount of the equity method investment. The Company’s interest in finite-lived intangible assets acquired in the transaction is being amortized over an estimated useful life of seventeen years.

In connection with the transaction, the Company also acquired an option, executable in fiscal 2017, to purchase an additional 26 percent interest in Hexavest. As part of the purchase price allocation, a value of $8.3 million was assigned to this option. The option is included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012.

The Company has a 7 percent equity interest in a private equity partnership managed by a third party that invests in companies in the financial services industry. The Company’s investment in the partnership was $5.3 million and $9.8 million at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively.

The Company had equity-method investments in the following sponsored funds as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012:

	Equity Ownership Interest (%)						Carrying Value ($)⁽¹⁾

⁽¹⁾

The carrying value of equity method investments in Eaton Vance-managed funds is measured based on the funds’ net asset values. The Company has the ability to redeem its investments in these funds at any time. Not shown are Company investments in certain of the above-listed funds that were not accounted for as equity method investments as of the indicated date.

The Company did not recognize any impairment losses related to its investments in equity method investees during the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company received dividends of $10.2 million and $10.5 million, respectively, from its investments in equity method investees.

(1)	The Company’s investment in this CLO entity is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The investment is carried at amortized cost unless facts and circumstances indicate that the investment has been impaired, at which time the investment is written down to fair value. There was no re-measurement of this asset during the six month period ended April 30, 2013 or the twelve month period ended October 31, 2012.
(2)	Investments in equity method investees are not measured at fair value in accordance with GAAP.
(3)	Investments, other include investments carried at cost that are not measured at fair value in accordance with GAAP.

Valuation methodologies

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as well as the general classification of those assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of investments in money market funds and agency securities. Money market funds are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy. Agency securities are valued based upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or

corroborated by observable market data. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these assets are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Investment securities, trading – debt

Investment securities, trading – debt, consist of debt obligations held in the portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third-party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker-dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less (excluding those that are non-U.S. denominated, which typically are valued by a third-party pricing service or dealer quotes) are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Depending upon the nature of the inputs, investment securities, trading – debt, are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Investment securities, trading – equity

Investment securities, trading – equity, consist of foreign and domestic equity securities held in the portfolios of consolidated sponsored funds and separately managed accounts. 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 asked prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria as established by our fair value pricing service, the portfolios use 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. The service utilizes a multi-factor model that considers such information as an issue’s local closing price and post-closing fluctuations in relevant general market and sector indices, currencies, depositary receipts and futures, as applicable. The size of the adjustment is determined by the observed changes in these factors since the close of the applicable foreign market. The pricing service uses a multiple regression methodology and back testing to validate the quality and correlations of their evaluations. In addition, the Company performs its own independent back test review of fair values versus the subsequent local market opening prices when available. Depending upon the nature of the inputs, investment securities, trading – equity are generally classified as Level 1 or 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Investment securities, available-for-sale

Investment securities, available-for-sale, consist of investments in sponsored mutual funds and privately offered equity funds. Sponsored mutual funds that are listed on an active exchange are valued using published net asset values and are classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy. Investments in sponsored privately offered equity funds and portfolios that are not listed on an active exchange but have net asset values that are comparable to mutual funds and have no redemption restrictions are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments, which include foreign exchange contracts, stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts, are recorded as either other assets or other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign exchange contracts are valued by interpolating a value using the spot foreign exchange rate and forward points, which are based on spot rate and currency interest rate differentials. Index futures contracts and

commodity futures contracts are valued using a third-party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices. Derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Assets of consolidated CLO entity

Assets of the consolidated CLO entity include investments in money market funds, equity securities, debt securities, bank loans and warrants. Fair value is determined utilizing unadjusted quoted market prices when available. Interests in senior floating-rate loans for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mid-point of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third-party pricing service. Fair value may also be based upon valuations obtained from independent third-party brokers or dealers utilizing matrix pricing models that consider information regarding securities with similar characteristics. In certain instances, fair value has been determined utilizing discounted cash flow analyses or single broker non-binding quotes. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these assets are classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the valuation hierarchy.

Securities sold, not yet purchased

Securities sold, not yet purchased, are recorded as other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are valued by a third-party pricing service that determines fair value based on bid and ask prices. Securities sold, not yet purchased, are generally classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Liabilities of consolidated CLO entity

Liabilities of the consolidated CLO entity include debt securities and senior and subordinated note obligations of the consolidated CLO entity. The debt securities are valued based upon quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data. The senior and subordinated notes are valued based upon model-based valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the market. Depending on the nature of the inputs, these liabilities are classified as Level 2 or 3 within the valuation hierarchy.

Transfers in and/or out of Levels

The following table summarizes fair value transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended April 30,				Six Months Ended April 30,
(in thousands)	2013		2012		2013		2012
Transfers from Level 1 into Level 2⁽¹⁾	$	120	$	-	$	120	$	7,204
Transfers from Level 2 into Level 1⁽²⁾		137		2,620		1,743		-

⁽¹⁾

Transfers from Level 1 into Level 2 primarily represent debt and equity securities that were valued based on prices of similar securities because unadjusted quoted market prices were not available in the current period.

⁽²⁾

Transfers from Level 2 into Level 1 primarily represent debt and equity securities due to the availability of unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets.

Level 3 assets and liabilities

The following table shows a reconciliation of the beginning and ending fair value measurements of assets and liabilities that are valued on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012:

(1)	Substantially all net gains and losses on investments and note obligations attributable to the assets and borrowings of the Company's consolidated CLO entity are allocated to non-controlling and other beneficial interests on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.
(2)	Transfers into Level 3 were the result of a reduction in the availability of significant observable inputs used in determining the fair value of a second lien term loan. Fair value was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis.
(3)	Transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 were due to an increase in the observability of the inputs used in determining the fair value of certain instruments.

The following table shows the valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value measurement of Level 3 liabilities at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012:

April 30, 2013			Valuation	Unobservable
($ in thousands)	Fair Value		Technique	Inputs⁽¹⁾	Range

Liabilities of consolidated CLO entity:

				Prepayment rate	30 percent
				Recovery rate	70 percent
				Default rate	200 bps
Senior and subordinated note obligations	$	365,460	Income approach	Discount rate	105-450 bps

October 31, 2012			Valuation	Unobservable
($ in thousands)	Fair Value		Technique	Inputs⁽¹⁾	Range

Liabilities of consolidated CLO entity:

				Prepayment rate	30 percent
				Recovery rate	70 percent
				Default rate	200 bps
Senior and subordinated note obligations	$	443,946	Income approach	Discount rate	135-700 bps

⁽¹⁾

Discount rate refers to spread over LIBOR. Lower spreads relate to the more senior tranches in the CLO note structure; higher spreads relate to the less senior tranches. The default rate refers to the constant annual default rate. Prepayment rate is the rate at which the underlying collateral is expected to repay principal. Recovery rate is the expected recovery of defaultedamounts received through asset sale or recovery through bankruptcy restructuring or other settlement processes.

Valuation process

The Company elected the fair value option for both the collateral assets held and senior and subordinated notes issued by its consolidated CLO entity upon consolidation to mitigate any accounting inconsistencies between the carrying value of the assets held to provide cash flows for the note obligations and the carrying value of those note obligations.

Senior and subordinated note obligations of the Company’s consolidated CLO entity are issued in various tranches with different risk profiles. The notes are valued on a quarterly basis by the Company’s bank loan investment team utilizing an income approach that projects the cash flows of the collateral assets using the team’s projected default rate, prepayment rate, recovery rate and discount rate, as well as observable assumptions about market yields, collateral reimbursement assumptions, callability and other market factors that vary based on the nature of the investments in the underlying collateral pool. Once the undiscounted cash flows of the collateral assets have been determined, the bank loan team applies appropriate discount rates that it believes a reasonable market participant would use to determine the discounted cash flow valuation of the notes. The bank loan team routinely monitors market conditions and model inputs for cyclical and secular changes in order to identify any material factors that could influence the Company’s valuation method. The bank loan team reports directly to the Chief Income Investment Officer.

Sensitivity to changes in significant unobservable inputs

For senior and subordinated notes issued by the Company’s consolidated CLO entity, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is generally accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for discount rates. Significant increases in either of these inputs would result in a significantly lower measurement of fair value.

Although the Company believes the valuation methods described above are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges

During the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company reclassified into interest expense $0.2 million of the loss on the Treasury lock transaction in connection with the Company’s issuance of ten-year senior notes in October 2007. At April 30, 2013, the remaining unamortized loss on this transaction was $2.0 million. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $0.4 million of the loss on the Treasury lock transaction into interest expense.

Other derivative financial instruments not designated for hedge accounting

The Company has entered into a series of foreign exchange contracts, stock index futures contracts and commodity futures contracts to hedge currency risk exposure and market risk associated with its investments in separately managed accounts and consolidated sponsored funds seeded for new product development purposes.

At April 30, 2013, the Company had 53 foreign exchange contracts outstanding with three counterparties with an aggregate notional value of $54.5 million; 2,264 stock index futures contracts outstanding with one counterparty with an aggregate notional value of $155.7 million; and 200 commodity futures contracts outstanding with one counterparty with an aggregate notional value of $11.1 million.

8. Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments

Certain financial instruments are not carried at fair value. The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these financial instruments at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012:

	April 30, 2013						October 31, 2012
(in thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Fair Value Level		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Fair Value Level
Investments, other	$	7,470	$	7,470		3	$	7,470	$	7,470		3
Other assets	$	8,254	$	8,254		3	$	8,307	$	8,307		3
Debt	$	500,000	$	602,672		2	$	500,000	$	604,316		2

Included in investments, other, is a $6.6 million non-controlling capital interest in Atlanta Capital Management Holdings, LLC (“ACM Holdings”), a partnership that owns certain non-controlling interests of Atlanta Capital Management LLC (“Atlanta Capital”). The Company’s interest in ACM Holdings is non-voting and entitles the Company to receive $6.6 million when put or call options for certain non-controlling interests of Atlanta Capital are exercised. The carrying value of this investment approximates fair value. The fair value of the investment is determined using a cash flow model which projects future cash flows based upon contractual obligations. Once the undiscounted cash flows have been determined, the Company applies an appropriate discount rate. The inputs to the model are considered Level 3.

Included in other assets is a five-year option to acquire an additional 26 percent interest in Hexavest. The $8.3 million carrying value of this option approximates fair value. The fair value of the option is determined using a Monte Carlo model which simulates potential future market multiples of earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) and compares this to the contractually fixed multiple of Hexavest’s EBIT at which the option can be exercised. The Monte Carlo model uses this array of simulated multiples and their difference from the contractual multiple times the projected EBIT for Hexavest to estimate the future exercise value of the option, which is then adjusted to present value. The inputs to the model are considered Level 3.

The fair value of the Company’s debt has been determined using publicly available market prices, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

9. VIEs

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains investments in sponsored CLO entities, sponsored funds and privately offered equity funds that are considered VIEs. These variable interests generally represent seed investments made by the Company, as collateral manager or investment advisor, to launch or market these vehicles. The Company receives management fees for the services it provides as collateral manager or investment advisor to these entities. These fees may also be considered variable interests.

To determine whether or not the Company should be treated as the primary beneficiary of a VIE, management must make significant estimates and assumptions regarding probable future cash flows of the VIE. These estimates and assumptions relate primarily to market interest rates, credit default rates, prepayment rates, discount rates, the marketability of certain securities and the probability of certain outcomes.

Investments in VIEs that are consolidated

Sponsored funds

From time to time the Company invests in investment companies that meet the definition of a VIE. Disclosure regarding such consolidated sponsored funds is included in Note 4. In the ordinary course of business the Company may elect to contractually waive investment advisory fees that it is entitled to receive from sponsored funds, and these waivers are disclosed in Note 19.

Consolidated CLO entity

The Company is the primary beneficiary of one CLO entity where it has, by design and in its role as collateral manager, the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity. In developing its conclusion that it is the primary beneficiary of this entity, the Company determined that it has variable interests in the entity by virtue of both its residual interest in, and collateral management fees it receives from, the entity and that these variable interests may represent an obligation to absorb losses of or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. Quantitative distinguishing factors supporting the Company’s qualitative conclusion included the relative size of the Company’s economic interest (approximately 8 percent, which is greater than the Company’s investment in the non-consolidated CLO entities in which the Company holds variable interests and serves as collateral manager) and the presence of an incentive management fee which, when combined with returns on the Company’s residual interest, may result in more than an insignificant economic interest in the total returns of the entity. In consideration of these factors, the Company concluded that it was the primary beneficiary of that CLO entity for consolidation accounting purposes.

The Company irrevocably elected the fair value option for all financial assets and liabilities of the consolidated CLO entity. Unrealized gains and losses on assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in gains and other investment income, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Although the subordinated note obligations of the CLO entity have certain equity characteristics, the Company

has determined that the subordinated notes should be recorded as liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The assets of this CLO entity are held solely as collateral to satisfy the obligations of the entity. The Company has no right to the benefits from, nor does the Company bear the risks associated with, the assets held by the entity beyond the Company’s minimal direct investment and beneficial interest therein and management fees generated from the entity. The note holders of the CLO entity have no recourse to the Company’s general assets. There are no explicit arrangements nor does the Company hold implicit variable interests that would require the Company to provide any ongoing financial support to the entity.

The following tables present, as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, the fair value of the consolidated CLO entity’s assets and liabilities subject to fair value accounting:

April 30, 2013
	CLO Bank Loan Investments
(in thousands)	Total CLO bank loan investments		90 days or more past due			Senior and subordinated note obligations
Unpaid principal balance	$	312,301	$	1,150		$	387,811
Unpaid principal balance (over) under fair value		541		(629	)		(19,684	)
Fair value	$	312,842	$	521		$	368,127

October 31, 2012
	CLO Bank Loan Investments
(in thousands)	Total CLO bank loan investments			90 days or more past due			Senior and subordinated note obligations
Unpaid principal balance	$	425,153		$	500		$	471,546
Unpaid principal balance over fair value		(863	)		(485	)		(24,941	)
Fair value	$	424,290		$	15		$	446,605

During the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the changes in the fair values of the CLO entity’s bank loans and other investments resulted in net gains of $2.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively, while changes in the fair value of the CLO’s note obligations resulted in net losses of $1.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. The combined net gains of $0.3 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were recorded as gains and other investment income, net, of the consolidated CLO entity in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for those periods.

During the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the changes in the fair values of the CLO entity’s bank loans and other investments resulted in net gains of $2.5 million and $15.9 million, respectively, while changes in the fair value of the CLO’s note obligations resulted in net losses of $5.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively. The combined net losses of $2.7 million and net gains of $8.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were recorded as gains and other investment income, net, of the consolidated CLO entity in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for those periods.

Substantially all gains (losses) related to the CLO entity’s bank loans, other investments and note obligations recorded in earnings for the periods were attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

The CLO entity’s note obligations bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread, which ranges from 0.21 percent to 1.50 percent. The principal amounts outstanding of the note obligations issued by the CLO entity mature on April 20, 2019. It is expected that prepayments received will be used to pay down the entity’s note obligations. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, $83.7 million of prepayments were used to pay down the entity’s note obligations. The holders of a majority of the subordinated notes have the option to liquidate the CLO entity, provided there is sufficient value to repay the senior notes in full.

Interest income and expense are recorded on an accrual basis and reported as gains and other investment income, net and as interest expense in other income (expense) of the consolidated CLO entity in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following carrying amounts related to the consolidated CLO entity were included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012:

	April 30,		October 31,
(in thousands)	2013		2012
Assets of consolidated CLO entity:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	61,244	$	36,758
Bank loans and other investments		319,321		430,583
Other assets		5,538		1,107
Liabilities of consolidated CLO entity:
Senior and subordinated note obligations		368,127		446,605
Other liabilities		489		766
Appropriated retained earnings		15,466		18,699
Net interest in consolidated CLO entity	$	2,021	$	2,378

The Company had a subordinated interest in the consolidated CLO entity of $1.6 million and $1.9 million as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively, which was eliminated in consolidation.

For the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded net income of $1.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively, related to the consolidated CLO entity. The Company recorded net income attributable to other beneficial interests of $0.1 million and $3.9 million for three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, reflecting the interests of third-party note holders of the consolidated CLO entity. Net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders included $1.2 million and $0.8 million related to the consolidated CLO entity for each of the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

For the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a net loss of $1.3 million and net income of $10.5 million, respectively, related to the consolidated CLO entity. The Company recorded a $3.2 million net loss attributable to other beneficial interests and net income attributable to other beneficial interests of $8.9 million for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, reflecting the interests of third-party note holders of the consolidated CLO entity. Net income attributable to Eaton Vance Corp. shareholders included $1.9 million and $1.6 million related to the consolidated CLO entity for each of the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Investments in VIEs that are not consolidated

Sponsored funds

The Company classifies its investments in certain sponsored funds that are considered VIEs as either equity method investments (generally when the Company owns more than 20 percent but less than 50 percent of the fund) or as available-for-sale investments (generally when the Company owns less than 20 percent of the fund), when it is not considered the primary beneficiary of those VIEs. The Company has provided aggregated disclosures with respect to these non-consolidated sponsored fund VIEs in Note 5.

Non-consolidated CLO entities

The Company is not deemed the primary beneficiary of several CLO entities in which it holds variable interests. In its role as collateral manager, the Company has the power to direct the activities of the CLO entities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. In developing its conclusion that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities, the Company determined that, although it has variable interests in each such entity by virtue of its residual interest therein and the collateral management fees it receives, its variable interests neither individually nor in the aggregate represent an obligation to absorb losses of or a right to receive benefits from any such entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. Quantitative factors supporting the Company’s qualitative conclusion in each case included the relative size of the Company’s residual interest (in each instance representing less than 6 percent of the residual interest tranche and less than 1 percent of the total capital of the entity) and the overall magnitude and design of the collateral management fees within each structure.

These non-consolidated entities had total assets of $1.8 billion as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012. The Company’s investment in these entities totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively, and collateral management fees receivable for these entities totaled $2.0 million on April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012. In the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not previously contractually required to provide. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in, and collateral management fees receivable from, the CLO entities as of April 30, 2013.

The Company’s investment in non-consolidated CLO entities is carried at amortized cost and is disclosed as a component of investments in Note 5. Income from non-consolidated CLO entities is recorded as a component of gains and other investment income, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, based upon projected investment yields.

Other entities

The Company holds variable interests in, but is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of, certain sponsored privately offered equity funds with total assets of $9.3 billion and $9.0 billion as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively. The Company’s variable interests in these entities consist of the Company’s direct ownership in these entities and any investment advisory fees earned but uncollected. The Company held investments in these entities totaling $5.1 million and $4.4 million on April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively, and investment advisory fees receivable totaling $0.4 million on April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012. In the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Company did not provide any financial or other support to these entities that it was not previously contractually required to provide. The Company’s risk of loss with respect to these managed entities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in and investment advisory fees receivable from the entities as of April 30, 2013.

The Company’s investments in privately offered equity funds are carried at fair value and included in investment securities, available for sale, which are disclosed as a component of investments in Note 5. The Company records any change in fair value, net of income tax, in other comprehensive income (loss).

10. Acquisitions

The Clifton Group Investment Management Company (“Clifton”)

On December 31, 2012, the Company’s subsidiary, Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”), acquired Clifton. The operating results of Clifton have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements since that date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the results of operations would not have been materially different from those reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Clifton is a provider of futures- and options-based overlay services and risk management solutions for institutional investors based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Clifton acquisition complements and expands the range of engineered portfolio solutions offered by Parametric. The Company paid $72.3 million in cash and issued an indirect ownership interest in Parametric with a fair market value of $12.8 million to certain Clifton principals. These indirect interests are subject to certain put and call arrangements at fair value that may be executed over a five-year period. There are no future contingent payments to be made in connection with the acquisition. Upon closing, Clifton became a division of Parametric.

In conjunction with the purchase, the Company recorded $24.5 million of intangible assets, which consist primarily of client relationship intangible assets acquired. The client relationship intangible assets will be amortized over an eighteen-year period. The Company also recorded goodwill of $60.1 million, which is deductible for tax purposes. During the three months ended April 30, 2013, revenue and earnings from Clifton were $6.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, revenue and earnings from Clifton were $8.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Tax Advantaged Bond Strategies (“TABS”)

In fiscal 2009, the Company acquired the TABS business of M.D. Sass Investors Services, a privately held investment manager based in New York, New York for cash and future consideration. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company made a contingent payment of $14.1 million to the selling group based upon prescribed multiples of TABS’s revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The payment increased goodwill by $14.1 million. The Company will be obligated to make three additional annual contingent payments to certain remaining members of the selling group based on prescribed multiples of TABS’s revenue for the twelve months ending December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. All future payments will be in cash and will result in an addition to goodwill. These payments are not contingent upon any member of the selling group remaining an employee of the Company.

Parametric

In December 2012, certain non-controlling interest holders of Parametric exercised their final put option pursuant to the terms of the original acquisition agreement requiring the Company to purchase an additional 3.4 percent capital and 5.7 percent profit interest in the entity. The $43.5 million exercise price of the put option was based on a multiple of estimated earnings before taxes for the calendar year ended December 31, 2012. The payment was treated as an equity transaction and reduced redeemable non-controlling interests at closing on December 20, 2012. Indirect profit interests granted to Parametric employees under a long-term equity incentive plan of that entity increased to 4.9 percent on April 30, 2013, reflecting a 0.76 percent profit interest granted on November 1, 2012 under the plan. Indirect capital and profit interests in Parametric held by the principals of Clifton totaled 1.9 percent on April 30, 2013, reflecting indirect interests issued in conjunction with the Clifton acquisition on December 31, 2012. Capital and profit interests in Parametric held by the Company increased to 98.1 percent and 93.3 percent, respectively, on April 30, 2013, reflecting the transactions described above.

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	12,990	$	13,047	$	27,157	$	29,444

The total income tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation arrangements was $5.0 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $10.5 million and $9.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”)

The 2008 Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board, allows for awards of stock options, restricted shares and phantom stock units to eligible employees and non-employee Directors. A total of 19.8 million shares of Non-Voting Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan. Through April 30, 2013, 6.0 million restricted shares and options to purchase 14.5 million shares have been issued pursuant to the 2008 Plan.

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates assumptions as to dividend yield, volatility, an appropriate risk-free interest rate and the expected life of the option. Many of these assumptions require management’s judgment. The Company’s stock volatility assumption is based upon its historical stock price fluctuations. The Company uses historical data to estimate option forfeiture rates and the expected term of options granted. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant.

The weighted-average fair value per share of stock options granted during the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows:

	2013			2012
Weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted	$	7.68		$	6.68

Assumptions:
Dividend yield		2.8% to 5.5%			2.9% to 3.1%
Volatility		36	%		36	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.2% to 1.3%			1.5	%
Expected life of options		7.1 years			7.2 years

Stock option transactions under the 2008 Plan and predecessor plans for the six months ended April 30, 2013 are summarized in the below table.

(share and intrinsic value figures in thousands)	Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding, beginning of period		27,653		$	26.90
Granted		2,251			28.31
Exercised		(4,207	)		20.97
Forfeited/expired		(207	)		29.96
Options outstanding, end of period		25,490		$	27.98		5.1	$	324,971
Options exercisable, end of period		16,601		$	28.77		3.6	$	206,028
Vested or expected to vest		25,135		$	28.00		5.1	$	320,213

The number of shares subject to option and the weighted-average exercise price of options reflected in the table above have been adjusted pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s 2008 Plan and predecessor plans to reflect the effect of a $1.00 per share special dividend declared and paid in December 2012.

The Company received $83.5 million and $8.2 million related to the exercise of options for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Options exercised represent newly issued shares. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was $56.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The total fair value of options that vested during the six months ended April 30, 2013 was $28.0 million.

As of April 30, 2013, there was $35.0 million of compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted not yet recognized. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years.

Restricted Shares

Compensation expense related to restricted share grants is recorded over the forfeiture period of the restricted shares, as they are contingently forfeitable. As of April 30, 2013, there was $84.8 million of compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years.

A summary of the Company's restricted share activity for the six months ended April 30, 2013 under the 2008 Plan and predecessor plans is summarized in the below table:

				Weighted-
				Average
				Grant
				Date Fair
(share figures in thousands)	Shares			Value
Unvested, beginning of period		3,233		$	26.43
Granted		1,601			29.11
Vested		(756	)		26.29
Forfeited		(103	)		28.15
Unvested, end of period		3,975		$	27.53

The total fair value of restricted stock that vested during the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was $19.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively.

Phantom Stock Units

In the six months ended April 30, 2013, 9,465 phantom stock units were issued to non-employee Directors pursuant to the 2008 Plan. Because these units are contingently forfeitable, compensation expense is recorded over the forfeiture period. The total liability paid out associated with phantom stock during the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2013, there was $0.4 million of compensation cost related to unvested awards not yet recognized. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.

13. Common Stock Repurchases

The Company’s current share repurchase program was announced on October 26, 2011. The Board authorized management to repurchase and retire up to 8.0 million shares of its Non-Voting Common Stock on the open market and in private transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and amount of share purchases are subject to management’s discretion. The Company’s share repurchase program is not subject to an expiration date.

In the first six months of fiscal 2013, the Company purchased and retired approximately 0.7 million shares of its Non-Voting Common Stock under the current repurchase authorization. Approximately 3.2 million additional shares may be repurchased under the current authorization.

15. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $38.2 million and $35.2 million, or 36.1 percent and 35.9 percent of pre-tax income, for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The provision for income taxes was $74.1 million and $70.4 million, or 36.9 percent and 35.8 percent of pre-tax income, for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The provision for income taxes in the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 is comprised of federal, state, and foreign taxes. The primary differences between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate of 35.0 percent are state income taxes, income recognized by the consolidated CLO entity, other non-controlling interests and the tax benefit of disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options.

The Company records a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. There was no valuation allowance recorded as of April 30, 2013 or October 31, 2012.

The Company is currently under audit by several states. One state previously provided the Company with a draft position that may result in a proposed adjustment to the Company’s previously filed tax returns. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, this state provided additional background to the Company on the state’s draft position. The Company has evaluated this recent correspondence and determined that there is no new information that causes the Company to change its initial conclusion regarding the technical merits of its position. The Company intends to continue its discussions with the state on this matter. If an adjustment is proposed, the Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. It is possible the ultimate resolution of the proposed adjustment, if unfavorable, may be material to the results of operations in the period it occurs. Pending receipt of a formal assessment, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months cannot be made.

16. Non-controlling and Other Beneficial Interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interest holders totaled $7.4 million and $9.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $19.8 million and $27.5 million for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The components of net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interest holders for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Antidilutive common shares related to stock options excluded from the computation of earnings per diluted share were approximately 3.0 million and 14.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were approximately 3.1 million and 15.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as engagement letters with advisors and consultants, information technology agreements, distribution agreements and service agreements. In certain circumstances, these indemnities in favor of third parties relate to service agreements entered into by investment funds managed and/or advised by Eaton Vance Management or Boston Management and Research, both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors, officers and employees in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended. Certain agreements do not contain any limits on the Company’s liability and, therefore, it is not possible to estimate the Company’s potential liability under these indemnities. In certain cases, the Company has recourse against third parties with respect to these indemnities. Further, the Company maintains insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain claims under these indemnities.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, after discussions with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

In July 2006, the Company committed to invest $15.0 million in a private equity partnership that invests in companies in the financial services industry. The Company has invested $13.9 million of the total $15.0 million of committed capital at April 30, 2013. The Company believes the remaining $1.1 million will likely be invested by March 2015.

The Company has entered into transactions in financial instruments in which it has sold securities, not yet purchased as part of its corporate hedging program. As of April 30, 2013, the Company has $1.6 million included within other liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheet related to securities sold, not yet purchased.

19. Related Party Transactions

Funds

The Company is an investment advisor to, and has administrative agreements with, certain sponsored funds, privately offered equity funds and closed-end funds for which certain employees are officers and/or directors. Substantially all of the services to these entities for which the Company earns a fee, including investment advisory, distribution, shareholder and administrative, are provided under contracts that set forth the services to be provided and the fees to be charged. These contracts are subject to annual review and approval by the funds’ boards of directors or trustees. Revenue for services provided or related to these funds for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

For the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had investment advisory agreements with certain sponsored funds pursuant to which the Company contractually waived $1.6 million and $2.1 million of investment advisory fees it was otherwise entitled to receive, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company waived $4.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of investment advisory fees it was otherwise entitled to receive.

Sales proceeds and net realized gains from investments in sponsored funds classified as available-for-sale for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

The Company bears the non-advisory expenses of certain sponsored funds for which it earns an all-in management fee and provides subsidies to startup and other smaller sponsored funds to enhance their competitiveness. For the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, expenses of $5.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, were incurred by the Company pursuant to these arrangements. For the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, expenses of $10.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively, were incurred by the Company pursuant to these arrangements.

Included in investment advisory fees and other receivables at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012 are receivables due from sponsored funds of $87.7 million and $84.4 million, respectively.

Employee Loan Program

The Company has established an Employee Loan Program under which a program maximum of $10.0 million is available for loans to officers (other than executive officers) and other key employees of the Company for purposes of financing the exercise of employee stock options. Loans are written for a seven-year period, at varying fixed interest rates (currently ranging from 0.9 percent to 5.0 percent), are payable in annual installments commencing with the third year in which the loan is outstanding, and are collateralized by the stock issued upon exercise of the option. Loans outstanding under this program, which are full recourse in nature, are reflected as notes receivable from stock option exercises in shareholders’ equity and amounted to $7.3 million and $4.2 million at April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively.

General

Our principal business is managing investment funds and providing investment management and advisory services to high-net-worth individuals and institutions. Our core strategy is to develop and sustain management expertise across a range of investment disciplines and to offer leading investment products and services through multiple distribution channels. In executing this strategy, we have developed broadly diversified investment management capabilities and a powerful marketing, distribution and customer service organization. Although we manage and distribute a wide range of investment products and services, we operate in one business segment, namely as an investment adviser to funds and separate accounts.

We are a market leader in a number of investment areas, including value equity, equity income, quality core and growth equity, systematic emerging market equity, floating-rate bank loan, municipal bond, investment grade, global and high-yield bond investing. Through our subsidiary Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”) we offer a leading range of engineered portfolio implementation services, including tax-managed core and specialty index strategies, futures- and options-based portfolio overlays and centralized portfolio management of multi-manager portfolios. Our breadth of investment management capabilities supports a wide range of products and services offered to fund shareholders, retail managed account investors, institutional investors and high-net-worth clients. Our equity strategies encompass a diversity of investment objectives, risk profiles, income levels and geographic representation. Our income investment strategies cover a broad duration and credit quality range and encompass both taxable and tax-free investments. We offer a range of alternative investment strategies, including commodity-based investments and a spectrum of absolute return strategies. As of April 30, 2013, we had $260.3 billion in assets under management.

Our principal retail marketing strategy is to distribute funds and separately managed accounts through financial intermediaries in the advice channel. We have a broad reach in this marketplace, with distribution partners including national and regional broker-dealers, independent broker-dealers, independent financial advisory firms, banks and insurance companies. We support these distribution partners with a team of approximately 135 sales professionals covering U.S. and international markets.

We also commit significant resources to serving institutional and high-net-worth clients who access investment management services on a direct basis. Through our wholly owned affiliates and consolidated subsidiaries we manage investments for a broad range of clients in the institutional and high-net-worth global marketplace,

including corporations, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, family offices and public and private employee retirement plans.

Our revenue is derived primarily from investment advisory, administrative, distribution and service fees received from Eaton Vance funds and investment advisory fees received from separate accounts. Our fees are based primarily on the value of the investment portfolios we manage and fluctuate with changes in the total value and mix of assets under management. As a matter of course, investors in our sponsored open-end funds and separate accounts have the ability to redeem their shares or investments at any time, without prior notice, and there are no material restrictions that would prevent them from doing so. Our major expenses are employee compensation, distribution-related expenses, facilities expense and information technology expense.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, investments and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Business Developments

The first six months of fiscal 2013 was a period of favorable market action, as reflected by the 14.4 percent total return of the S&P 500 Index. Over the last twelve months, the S&P 500 Index has returned 16.9 percent.

The Company’s ending consolidated assets under management increased by $60.8 billion, or 30 percent, in the first six months of fiscal 2013 to $260.3 billion on April 30, 2013, reflecting the acquisition of The Clifton Group Investment Management Company (“Clifton”) on December 31, 2012, strong net inflows into floating-rate income, alternative and implementation services mandates, and favorable market action. Average consolidated assets under management increased sequentially by $37.3 billion, or 17 percent, to $253.5 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, reflecting a full quarter of Clifton ownership.

The Clifton acquisition, as anticipated, has had a significant impact on both our overall average effective fee rate and our average effective investment advisory and administrative fee rate in the first half of fiscal 2013. Upon acquisition, the Clifton business had an average effective fee rate of approximately 7 basis points. The acquisition reduced our overall average effective fee rate to 52 basis points and 55 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, respectively, from 62 basis points in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2012. Our average effective investment advisory and administrative fee rate similarly decreased to 44 basis points and 46 basis points in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, respectively, from 51 basis points in both the second quarter and first six months of last year. The primary driver of our overall average effective fee rate continues to be the mix of assets by distribution channel and mandate.

Consolidated Assets under Management

Consolidated assets under management of $260.3 billion on April 30, 2013 were $62.8 billion, an increase of 32 percent over the $197.5 billion of managed assets reported a year earlier. Consolidated assets under management on April 30, 2013 included $127.0 billion in long-term funds, $84.7 billion in institutional separate accounts, $18.0 billion in high-net-worth separate accounts, $30.4 billion in retail managed accounts and $0.1 billion in cash management fund assets. Long-term fund net inflows of $6.9 billion over the last twelve months reflect gross inflows of $35.2 billion offset by outflows of $28.3 billion. Long-term fund net inflows include $0.2

billion raised in the initial public offering of Eaton Vance Municipal Income Term Trust in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Institutional separate account net inflows were $3.9 billion, high-net-worth separate account net inflows were $1.2 billion and retail managed account net inflows were $0.8 billion over the past twelve months. Clifton assets acquired totaled $34.8 billion and net price appreciation in managed assets increased assets under management by $15.4 billion over the last twelve months. A decrease in cash management assets reduced assets under management by $0.2 billion.

We report managed assets and flow data by investment mandate. The “Alternative” category includes a range of absolute return strategies, as well as commodity- and currency-linked investments. In fiscal 2013, we added a new category, “Implementation Services,” to reflect the growing importance to our business of Parametric’s tax-managed core, centralized portfolio management and specialty index businesses and the former Clifton Group’s futures- and options-based overlay services.
