Overview

Overview 

The Trust seeks to provide returns on Units purchased in the offering and held for the life of the Trust based on the price performance of the S&P 500 (the Index). If the Index appreciates over the investment life of the Trust, the Trust seeks to provide a return on the initial net asset value (NAV) of Units equal to the percentage change in the price of the Index, up to a maximum return of 17.85%. If the Index depreciates over the investment life of the Trust by 15% or less, the Trust seeks to return the initial NAV. If the Index depreciates over the investment life of the Trust by more than 15%, the Trust seeks to outperform the Index price change by 15% of initial Index value. The Trust is subject to investment risks, including loss of principal invested. There can be no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective.

The Hedge Portfolio represents a model portfolio of securities and derivative positions that a Unit holder could enter into to substantially offset the risk of owning Units. A professional investor expert in derivatives hedging strategies who wishes to earn arbitrage profits could seek to do so by purchasing Units at a discount to net asset value (NAV) and maintaining an offsetting Hedge Portfolio position over the remaining life of the Trust. The profits earned from such an arbitrage strategy, if any, would be reduced by the associated trading and position carrying costs. Eaton Vance makes no endorsement or recommendation of an eUnits™ arbitrage investment strategy. Disclosure of the Trust's Hedge Portfolio does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Nothing contained herein constitutes investment, legal, tax or other advice or should be relied upon in making an investment or other decision.

Market price is the most recent trading price of Units as of the market close on the indicated date. Net asset value (NAV) is the total assets less total liabilities of the Trust divided by the number of Units outstanding. Investors who buy or sell Units in the secondary market may achieve returns that differ substantially from the returns that the Trust seeks to provide on Units purchased in the offering and held for the life of the Trust. Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their NAV, and there can be no assurance that the Units will trade at or near their current NAV on an ongoing basis. The Trust may not be suitable for you if you seek an investment for which there is an active secondary market. Investors should be willing and able to hold the Units until the termination of the Trust.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or market price (as applicable) with distributions reinvested. Performance at market does not take into account trading commissions that may apply to the purchase and sale of Units. Performance at NAV may not be representative of the investment experience of Unit holders due to changes in premium and discount levels. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that Units, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Trust's current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Performance for periods of less than one year is cumulative.
