Eaton Vance | Fund Summary
Eaton Vance High Yield ETF (Con't)
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 29% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in high yield securities. This policy may be changed without shareholder approval; however, shareholders would be notified upon 60 days' notice in writing of any changes. High-yield securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") include U.S. dollar denominated high risk corporate bonds which are rated lower than investment grade (i.e., bonds rated lower than Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or lower than BBB- by S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") or Fitch Ratings ("Fitch")) or are unrated and of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser or Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (the "Sub-Adviser"). Bonds rated BBB and Baa have speculative characteristics, while lower-rated bonds are predominantly speculative. The Fund may not hold more than 10% of its net assets in securities rated below B3 by Moody's or lower than B- by S&P or Fitch.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities that are rated investment grade (i.e., bonds rated higher than Ba1 by Moody's or higher than BB+ by S&P or Fitch). The Fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets in subordinated preferred securities. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign and emerging market securities, which are predominantly U.S. dollar-denominated. The Fund may invest in securities with a minimum primary issuance of $500 million or greater. The Fund's investment in an individual sector may be equal to an amount up to the greater of 15% of its total assets or 1.2x the relative weight of such sector in the ICE BofA BB-B U.S. High Yield Index. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund invested a substantial portion of its assets in the consumer discretionary sector.
The Fund may purchase or sell derivative instruments for hedging purposes, to seek return, to manage certain investment risks and/or as a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities. Transactions in derivative instruments may include: the purchase or sale of futures contracts on securities, indices or other financial instruments or currencies; options on futures contracts; exchange-traded and over-the-counter options on securities, indices, currencies and other instruments; interest rate, credit default, inflation and total return swaps; forward rate contracts and credit linked notes as well as instruments that have a greater or lesser credit risk than the security underlying that instrument. The Fund may use interest rate swaps for risk management purposes and not as a speculative investment and would typically use interest rate swaps to seek to shorten the average interest rate reset dates of its holdings. With respect to non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities, the Fund may seek to hedge currency fluctuations by entering into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Derivative instruments used by the Fund will be counted toward the Fund's 80% policy discussed above to the extent they have economic characteristics similar to the securities included within that policy. The Fund may invest in pooled investment vehicles, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and money market funds, for various portfolio management purposes, such as to maintain exposure to certain investments or for cash management purposes.
The Fund's investments are actively managed and securities may be bought and sold on a daily basis. Preservation of capital is considered when consistent with the Fund's investment objectives. The Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser monitor the credit quality of securities held by the Fund. Although the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser consider security ratings when making investment decisions, they perform their own credit and investment analysis utilizing various methodologies including "bottom up/top down" analysis and consideration of macroeconomic and technical factors, and do not rely primarily on the ratings assigned by the rating services. When deemed by the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser to be relevant to their evaluation of creditworthiness and when applicable information is available, the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser consider environmental, social and/or governance issues (referred to as ESG) which may impact the prospects of an issuer (or obligor) or financial performance of an obligation. When considered, one or more ESG issues are taken into account alongside other factors in the investment decision-making process and are not the sole determinant of whether an investment can be made or will remain in the Fund's portfolio.
The portfolio managers attempt to improve yield and preserve and enhance principal value through timely trading. The portfolio managers also consider the relative value of securities in the marketplace in making investment decisions.
Principal Risks
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, and you can lose money investing in this Fund. Investments in the Fund involve risks and you should not rely on the Fund as a complete investment program. The relative significance of each risk factor summarized below may change over time and you should review each risk factor carefully because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:
| | Fixed-Income Securities. Fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of the issuer's inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity (i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market |

Eaton Vance | Fund Summary

| risk). For example, a type of fixed-income securities in which the Fund may invest are corporate debt obligations. In addition to interest rate, credit and other risks, corporate debt obligations are also subject to factors directly related to the issuer, such as the credit rating of the corporation, the corporation's performance and perceptions of the corporation in the marketplace, and by factors not directly related to the issuer, such as general market liquidity, economic conditions and inflation. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of volatility, increased redemptions, shortened durations (i.e., prepayment risk) and extended durations (i.e., extension risk). The Fund is not limited as to the maturities (when a debt security provides its final payment) or durations (measure of interest rate sensitivity) of the securities in which it may invest. Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Lower rated fixed-income securities have greater volatility because there is less certainty that principal and interest payments will be made as scheduled. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities. |
| | Credit and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction, will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer's, guarantor's or counterparty's financial condition worsens, the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition, liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market's perception of the creditworthiness of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument's value and liquidity and make it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although the value of these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market volatility, increased redemptions, shortened durations (i.e., prepayment risk) and extended durations (i.e., extension risk). |
| | High Yield Securities ("Junk Bonds"). The Fund's investments in high yield securities expose it to increased risks, including a substantial degree of credit and default risks. High yield securities may be issued by companies that are restructuring, are smaller and less creditworthy or are more highly leveraged or indebted than other companies or are financially distressed, and therefore they typically have more difficulty making scheduled payments of principal and interest than issuers of higher rated investments. High yield securities are subject to greater risk of loss (including substantial or total loss) of income and principal than higher rated securities and are considered speculative because of increased credit risk relative to higher rated fixed income investments. High yield securities are also subject to greater price volatility, including sudden and substantial decreases in price, and less liquidity than higher rated securities. High yield securities are particularly sensitive to adverse economic, market, industry or issuer-specific developments, which may result in an increased incidence of default. In the event of a default, the Fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting issuer. |
| | Preferred Securities. Preferred securities have many of the characteristics of and are subject to many of the risks associated with both fixed-income securities and equity securities. Preferred securities may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. As with fixed-income securities, the market value of preferred securities is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Preferred securities generally decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall. In addition, preferred securities are also subject to risks applicable generally to equity securities, such as issuer-specific and market risks. A company's preferred securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt, so the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company's financial condition or prospects. |
| | Foreign and Emerging Market Securities. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political (including geopolitical), economic and market risks, and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards, higher transaction |

| and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other actions such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with investments in foreign developed countries. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty's legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund's investments in foreign issuers may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund's ability to purchase or sell securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund's investments, significantly delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund's securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategies. |
| | Foreign Currency. The Fund's investments in foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. The value of foreign currencies may fluctuate relative to the value of the U.S. dollar. Since the Fund may invest in such non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities, and therefore may convert the value of such securities into U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates can increase or decrease the U.S. dollar value of the Fund's assets. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the overall economic health of the issuer. Devaluation of a currency by a country's government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. The Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser may use derivatives to reduce this risk. The Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser may in their discretion choose not to hedge against currency risk. In addition, certain market conditions may make it impossible or uneconomical to hedge against currency risk. |
| | Liquidity. The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments in other types of securities. Liquidity risk may be magnified in a market where credit spread and interest rate volatility is rising and where investor redemptions from fixed-income funds may be higher than normal. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |
| | Derivatives. Derivatives and other similar instruments that create synthetic exposure often are subject to risks similar to those of the underlying asset or instrument, including market risk, and may be subject to additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying asset, risks of default by the counterparty to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which the derivative instrument relates, risks that the transactions may not be liquid, risks arising from margin and payment requirements, risks arising from mispricing or valuation complexity and operational and legal risks. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss. |

Eaton Vance | Fund Summary
Eaton Vance High Yield ETF (Con't)
| | Distressed and Defaulted Securities. Distressed and defaulted securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in addition to the risks of investing in high yield securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and the repayment of principal may also be subject to increased risk. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment, requiring the Fund to incur additional costs. The repayment of defaulted securities is also subject to significant uncertainties. The Fund may incur substantial expenses in seeking recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. |
| | Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. To the extent that the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the consumer discretionary sector, the Fund will be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with companies operating in such sector. Companies in the consumer discretionary sector are subject to risks, including fluctuations in the performance of the overall domestic and international economy, shipment and supply chain disruptions, interest rate changes, currency exchange rates, increased competition and consumer confidence. Performance of such companies may also be adversely affected by factors such as reduced disposable household income, reduced consumer spending, and changing demographics and consumer tastes. |
| | Market and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund's investments, which change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund's investments, which may in turn impact the Fund's ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat or actual imposition of tariffs, trade barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund's investments, adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund's share price and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund's investments cannot be predicted. |
| | ETF Structure Risks. |
| Authorized Participant Concentration Risk. Only an authorized participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of intermediaries that act as authorized participants and none of these authorized participants is or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Fund's shares will develop or be maintained. To the extent that these intermediaries exit the business or are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund, such as during periods of market stress, and no other authorized participant creates or redeems, shares may trade at a discount to net asset value ("NAV") per share and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. Authorized participant concentration risk may be heightened to the extent the Fund invests in securities issued by non-U.S. issuers or other securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes. |
| Trading Risk. The market prices of shares are expected to fluctuate, in some cases materially, in response to changes in the Fund's NAV, the intra-day value of the Fund's holdings, and supply and demand for shares. The Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in the shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund's holdings. You may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than the Fund's NAV per share during periods when there is a significant premium or discount. Buying or selling shares in the secondary market may require paying brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost when seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of shares. In addition, the market price of shares, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a "bid-ask spread" charged by the market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. The spread of the Fund's shares varies over time based on the Fund's trading volume and market liquidity and may increase if the Fund's trading volume, the spread of the Fund's underlying securities, or market liquidity decrease. |
| | Active Management Risk. In pursuing the Fund's investment objective, the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser has considerable leeway in deciding which investments to buy, hold or sell on a day-to-day basis, and which trading strategies to use. For example, the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser, in its discretion, may determine to use some permitted trading strategies while not using others. The success or failure of such decisions will affect the Fund's performance. |
| | Investment Company Securities. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), or as otherwise permitted by the SEC, the Fund may acquire shares in other investment companies, including foreign investment companies, closed-end funds, ETFs and money market funds which may be managed by the Adviser or its |

| affiliates. The market value of the shares of other investment companies may differ from the NAV of the Fund. The shares of certain investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their NAV. As a shareholder in an investment company, the Fund would bear its ratable share of that entity's expenses, including its investment advisory and administration fees, and be subject to the associated risks. At the same time, the Fund would continue to pay its own advisory and administration fees and other expenses. As a result, the Fund and its shareholders, in effect, will also be absorbing fees with respect to investments in other investment companies. |

Shares of the Fund are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
Individual shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through a broker or dealer at market price. Because shares trade at market prices, rather than NAV, shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than NAV (i.e., a premium) or less than NAV (i.e., a discount).
You may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay for shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares (ask) (the "bid-ask spread") when buying or selling shares in the secondary market.
Recent information, including information about the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, is available on the Fund's website at www.eatonvance.com.
Tax Information
The Fund intends to make dividends and distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or a financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Adviser and/or Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the "Distributor") may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments, which may be significant in amount, may create a conflict of interest by influencing the financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
