In addition to Bernstein, the Fund’s portfolio managers are Matthew Griswold, CFA, Director of Investments at RBA, and Henry Timmons, CFA, Senior Quantitative Analyst at RBA. Bernstein is also portfolio manager of Eaton Vance Richard Bernstein Equity Strategy Fund, and Eaton Vance Richard Bernstein All Asset Strategy Fund.

"Investor uncertainty today is high due to the tenuous global economy, political instability and daily market volatility," Mr. Bernstein said. "We believe the Fund’s flexibility to establish investment exposures based on macro-economic themes, allocate across different asset classes, and take both long and short positions may help enhance returns and dampen performance volatility."

Bernstein has over 30 years’ of investment industry experience. Prior to founding RBA, Bernstein spent more than 20 years at Merrill Lynch & Co., where he was one of the most respected market strategists on Wall Street.

"We are pleased to expand our relationship with RBA to offer investors this new, flexible strategy," said Thomas E. Faust Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eaton Vance. "RBA’s top-down investment style nicely complements our extensive lineup of fund strategies based on bottom-up security selection."
