The Economy
[PHOTO OF DUNCAN W. RICHARDSON PORTFOLIO MANAGER]
. The U.S. economy continued its extraordinary performance in the latter part
of 1997 and early 1998. Gross Domestic Product - the primary indicator of
overall U.S. economic growth - grew at real annual rates of 3.7% in the
fourth quarter of 1997 and 4.2% in the first quarter of 1998. Meanwhile, the
civilian unemployment rate reached a 28-year low of 4.3% in April, 1998.
. The inflation rate, which historically has risen during periods of sustained
growth and low unemployment, has remained very low. The Consumer Price Index
increased only 1.7% in 1997 and has advanced at a rate of 1.0% (annualized)
thus far in 1998.
. The consensus among leading economists is that inflation has remained low
due to global competition, a strong dollar - made even stronger by the Asian
currency crisis - and higher productivity brought on by advances in
technology.
The Stock Market
. The U.S. stock market's strong performance during the period reflected the
healthy economic climate and the continued demand for U.S. stocks. In 1997,
the return of the S&P 500 Index exceeded 20% for a record third consecutive
year, and year-to-date through April 30, 1998, the S&P 500 has achieved
returns of 15.1%.*
. As stock valuations have increased, so has market volatility. In October,
the market fell by over 10%, sparked largely by initial fears concerning the
Asian economic and currency crisis. After recovering, the market experienced
a similar Asian-inspired decline of over 5% in January, 1998.
. Since January, the market has advanced to new record highs, driven by
buoyant economic conditions in the U.S. and diminishing concerns about the
impact of the Asian crisis on the earnings of U.S. multinationals.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Past Six Months
. During the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a total return of
22.3%. This return resulted from an increase in net asset value to $446.97
per share on April 30, 1998 from $366.87 on October 31, 1997 and the
reinvestment of $1.40 per share in income dividends.
. By comparison, the average annual total return for mutual funds in the
Lipper Growth Funds Category was 18.2% during this period.*
Fund Strategy and Outlook
. The Fund seeks to achieve long-term, after-tax returns by investing in the
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio.
. The Portfolio invests in a broadly diversified selection of stocks,
emphasizing holdings of high-quality growth companies that are acquired with
the expectation of being held for a period of years. The Portfolio utilizes
a number of tax-efficient management techniques and seeks to achieve returns
primarily in the form of unrealized gains, which are not subject to current
tax.
. With stocks reaching ever-higher valuations, we have been careful in our
selection of stocks to acquire. During the period, we have found
opportunities in the oil services, financial, and technology sectors.
. We continue to anticipate lower returns in the stock market and a reversion
toward the historic annual average of 10%. Earnings disappointments or
interest rate hikes over the coming months could pull the market lower.
Nevertheless, we plan to stay with the same type of high-quality companies
that are currently in the Portfolio, as we believe they will continue to
produce consistent returns over the long term.

/1/Returns are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset
value with all distributions reinvested. /2/For Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio,
as of 4/30/98; may not be representative of the Portfolio's current or future
investments. The ten largest holdings accounted for 13.6% of the Portfolio's
investments.* It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or Lipper
Category.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and
principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Capital Exchange Fund (the Fund), formerly the Capital Exchange Fund,
Inc., is a series of Eaton Vance Series Trust (the Trust). The Trust is an
entity of the type commonly known as a Massachusetts business trust and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund invests all of
its investable assets in interests in the Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the
Portfolio), a New York Trust, having the same investment objective as the
Fund. The value of the Fund's investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund's
proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio (3.1% at April 30,
1998). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of
the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the
portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be
read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund
in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
A Investment Valuation -- Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is
discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which
are included elsewhere in this report.
B Income -- The Fund's net investment income consists of the Fund's pro rata
share of the net investment income of the Portfolio, less all actual and
accrued expenses of the Fund determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
C Federal Taxes -- The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute to shareholders each year all of its net investment income and net
realized short-term capital gain. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
or excise tax is necessary. The Fund generally designates as undistributed any
taxable net realized long-term gain (but reserves the right to distribute such
gain in any year) and pays the federal tax thereon on behalf of shareholders.
Provision for such tax is recorded on the Fund's records on the last business
day of the Fund's fiscal year because the Internal Revenue Code provides that
such tax is allocated among shareholders of record on that date.
D Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis.
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
E Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
F Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as
custodian to the Fund and the Portfolio. Pursuant to the respective custodian
agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based
on the average cash balances the Fund or the Portfolio maintain with IBT. All
significant credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are
reported as a reduction of operating expenses on the Statement of Operations.
G Interim Financial Information -- The interim financial statements relating
to April 30, 1998 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by
independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the Fund's
management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's policy is to distribute all or substantially all of the net
investment income allocated to the Fund by the Portfolio (less the Fund's
direct expenses). Distributions are paid in the form of additional shares of
the Fund or, at the election of the shareholder, in cash. Generally accepted
accounting principles require that only distributions in excess of tax basis
earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of
capital. Differences in the recognition or classification of income between
the financial statements and tax earnings and profits which result in
temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes are classified
as distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net
realized gains.

Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services.
See Note 2 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are included
elsewhere in this report. Except as to trustees of the Fund who are not
members of EVM's organization, officers and trustees receive remuneration for
their services to the Fund out of such investment adviser fee. Certain of the
officers and trustees of the Fund are officers and directors/trustees of the
above organizations.

Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio as of April 30, 1998
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1 Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The Portfolio, which is organized as a trust
under the laws of the State of New York on December 1, 1995, seeks to provide
long-term after-tax returns by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity
securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue interests
in the Portfolio. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its
financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
A Investment Valuations -- Marketable securities, including options, that are
listed on foreign or U.S. securities exchanges or in the NASDAQ National
Market System are valued at closing sale prices, on the exchange where such
securities are principally traded. Futures positions on securities or
currencies are generally valued at closing settlement prices. Unlisted or
listed securities for which closing sale prices are not available are valued
at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Short-term debt
securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates value. Other fixed income and debt
securities, including listed securities and securities for which price
quotations are available, will normally be valued on the basis of valuations
furnished by a pricing service. Investments for which valuations or market
quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value using methods determined
in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.
B Income Taxes -- The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for Federal tax
purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolio for federal or state taxes on
any taxable income of the Portfolio because each investor in the Portfolio is
ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes on its share of such
income. Since some of the Portfolio's investors are regulated investment
companies that invest all or substantially all of their assets in the
Portfolio, the Portfolio normally must satisfy the applicable source of income
and diversification requirements (under the Internal Revenue Code) in order
for its investors to satisfy them. The Portfolio will allocate, at least
annually among its investors, each investor's distributive share of the
Portfolio's net investment income, net realized capital gains, and any other
items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.
C Deferred Organization Expenses -- Costs incurred by the Portfolio in
connection with its organization, are being amortized on the straight-line
basis over five years.
D Futures Contracts -- Upon the entering of a financial futures contract, the
Portfolio is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount
("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price
indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or
received by the Portfolio ("margin maintenance") each day, dependent on daily
fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for
book purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. The Portfolio's
investment in financial futures contracts is designed to hedge against
anticipated future changes in price of current or anticipated portfolio
positions. Should prices move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not achieve the
anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a
loss.
E Securities Sold Short -- The Portfolio may sell securities it does not own
in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the securities or in order
to hedge portfolio positions. The Portfolio will generally borrow the security
sold in order to make delivery to the buyer. Upon executing the transaction,
the Portfolio records the proceeds as deposits with brokers in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities and establishes an offsetting payable for securities
sold short for the securities due on settlement. The proceeds are retained by
the broker as collateral for the short position. The liability is marked to
market and the Portfolio is required to pay the lending broker any dividend or
interest income earned while the short position is open. A gain or loss is
recorded when the security is delivered to the broker. The Portfolio may
recognize a loss on the transaction if the market value of the securities sold
increases before the securities are delivered.
F Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the
investments are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend date. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends
from foreign securities are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-
dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
G Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and
21
<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
H Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as
custodian of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives
a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash
balances the Portfolio maintains with IBT. All significant credit balances
used to reduce the Portfolio's custodian fees are reflected as a reduction of
expenses on the statement of operations.
I Interim Financial Information -- The interim financial statements relating
to April 30, 1998 and for the six-month period then ended have not been
audited by independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of
the Portfolio's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the
financial statements.
2 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation
for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Portfolio.
Under the advisory agreement, BMR receives a monthly advisory fee of 5/96 of
1% (0.625% annually) of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio up to
$500,000,000, and at reduced rates as daily net assets exceed that level. For
the six month period ended April 30, 1998, the adviser fee was 0.49% of the
Portfolio's average net assets (annualized). Except as to Trustees of the
Portfolio who are not members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and
Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio out of such
investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Portfolio that are not affiliated
with the Investment Adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage
of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred
Compensation Plan. For the six month period ended April 30, 1998, no
significant amounts have been deferred. Certain of the officers and Trustees
of the Portfolio are officers or directors/trustees of the above
organizations.
3 Investment Transactions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations,
aggregated $2,184,250,541 and $65,206,232, respectively. In addition,
investments having an aggregate market value of $25,484,816 at dates of
withdrawal were distributed in payment for capital withdrawals resulting in
capital gains for book purposes of $23,796,960.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the
investments owned at April 30, 1998, as computed on a federal income tax
basis, are as follows:
Aggregate cost $4,000,420,308
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross unrealized appreciation $1,813,836,547
Gross unrealized depreciation (598,586)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation $1,813,237,961
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing
exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written
options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and financial futures
contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of
the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes.
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the
investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments
and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk.
The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful
only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
The Portfolio did not have any open obligations under these financial
instruments at April 30, 1998.

6 Line of Credit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
EVM and its affiliates in a $100 million unsecured line of credit agreement
with a group of banks. The Portfolio may temporarily borrow from the line of
credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions.
Interest is charged to each portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at the
Eurodollar rate or federal funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an
annual rate of 0.10% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is
allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each
quarter. The Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated
fees during the six month period ended April 30, 1998.
