*These total return figures have been adjusted to reflect the Fund's election to
retain its long-term capital gain during the period and to pay the federal tax
thereon on behalf of shareholders. SEC standardized total return figures treat
such payments as an expense of the Fund while the adjusted figures treat such
payments as a distribution to shareholders (who receive a tax credit in the
amount of the allocable share of the taxes paid by the Fund).

To Shareholders
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997, CAPITAL EXCHANGE FUND, INC. HAD A TOTAL
RETURN OF 12.7%. That return resulted from an increase in net asset value to
$315.06 per share from $280.57 per share, and the reinvestment of $1.14 in
income dividends. This return compares favorably to the average total return of
mutual funds in the Lipper Growth Fund Category, which was 7.15% during the
period.*
- -----------------------------------------
For the six months ended April 30, 1997,
Capital Exchange Fund, Inc. had a total
return of 12.7%.
*It is not possible to invest in a Lipper category.
AFTER EXPERIENCING MODERATE GROWTH IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 1996, THE U.S.
ECONOMY IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1997 HAS BEEN MARKED BY STRONGER-THAN-EXPECTED
GROWTH, A TIGHTENING LABOR MARKET, AND UNEASINESS OVER INFLATION. First quarter
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at a remarkably fast 5.8% annualized rate, the
strongest quarterly growth in over a decade, while unemployment dropped to 4.9%
in April, the lowest it has been since 1973. Inflation, which has been low
throughout the period, remains benign. Producer, or wholesale, prices declined
0.6% during the month of April, while consumer prices showed a modest increase
of 0.1%. A report on a surging productivity increase of 2.0% in April, the
highest monthly rise in three years, may help explain why the continued economic
strength has not yet led to a rise in inflation.
THE STOCK MARKET HAS SHOWN INCREASED VOLATILITY IN 1997, RESPONDING TO A ROBUST
ECONOMY, AN INCREASE IN SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES IN MARCH, AND CONCERNS OVER
FURTHER RATE HIKES BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE. Within a six-week period in March and
April, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined almost 10%, and then fully
recovered to reach new record highs. High-quality, blue chip stocks have
generally continued to perform well, while the performance of small
capitalization stocks has lagged.
THE INVESTMENT CLIMATE DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS HAS BEEN FAVORABLE FOR THIS
FUND. Strong earnings reports from Portfolio companies and a bullish market for
large capitalization blue chip stocks have combined to produce solid returns for
shareholders. We have taken advantage of the recent volatility in the equity
market. Volatility benefits this Fund because it allows us to build up existing
positions and to add new positions - at advantageous prices - in companies we
believe have strong long-term growth prospects. Over the last six months, we
have increased positions in the oil and gas exploration, health care services,
and financial sectors where we feel the growth prospects remain quite strong.
THE INVESTMENT OF CAPITAL EXCHANGE FUND, INC. INTO THE TAX-MANAGED GROWTH
PORTFOLIO IN THE WINTER OF 1995 CONTINUES TO BENEFIT SHAREHOLDERS. As part of
the Tax-Managed Growth Portfolio, through Hub & Spoke(R), shareholders of the
Fund benefit from a greater diversification among stocks, industries, and
sectors, and from the Portfolio's lower expense ratio, increased management
flexibility, and greater potential for future capital appreciation. Opening the
Portfolio to new investors allows management to add new growth companies to the
Portfolio.
ONE RESULT OF THE NEW STRUCTURE, A LOWER DIVIDEND, CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE
INVESTMENT OF NEW FUNDS IN THE PORTFOLIO INTO A STOCK MARKET WITH A LOWER
OVERALL DIVIDEND YIELD. Shareholders who wish to receive an income percentage
larger than that provided by the current dividend may find that a systematic
withdrawal plan meets their needs. In addition to providing a fixed, dependable
income stream, a systematic withdrawal may be taxed at capital gains rates,
which are lower than income rates for many shareholders.
Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Capital Exchange Fund, Inc. (the Fund) 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 (10.5% at April 30, 1997). 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 1 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. At October 31, 1996, the Fund, for federal income
purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $371,741 which will reduce the
taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any,
to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the
amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to
relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Such capital loss
carryover will expire on October 31, 2004. 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. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Generally accepted accounting principles require that
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, be classified as
distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized
gains.
F. 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.
G. 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 maintains 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.
H. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION -- The interim financial statements relating
to April 30, 1997 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) CAPITAL STOCK
At April 30, 1997, there were 4,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value capital
stock authorized. Transactions in capital stock were as follows:

(3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Decreases in the Fund's investment in the Portfolio aggregated $21,006,509,
for the six months ended April 30, 1997. There were no increases in the Fund's
investment in the Portfolio for the six months ended April 30, 1997.
In addition, investments were distributed in payment for capital stock
redeemed for the six months ended April 30, 1997 resulting in capital gains
for book purposes, of
$12,586,342.
(4) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of the Fund, but
receives no compensation. The Portfolio has engaged Boston Management and
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 directors of the Fund who are not
members of EVM's organization, officers and directors receive remuneration for
their services to the Fund out of such investment adviser fee. Certain of the
officers and directors of the Fund are officers and directors/trustees of the
above organizations.

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 was 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 polices 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 short where it
owns an equal amount of the security sold short or another security convertible
or exchangeable for an equal amount of the security sold short (a short sale
against-the-box). The Portfolio may do this 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 security sold short is segregated 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 realized 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 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, 1997 and for the six month period 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) 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 the level. For the six months
ended April 30, 1997 the adviser fee was 0.58% 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 months ended April
30, 1997, 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 $225,853,920 and $36,084,420, respectively.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENT
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the investments
owned at April 30, 1997, as computed on a federal income tax basis, are as
follows:
Aggregate cost $487,990,216
============
Gross unrealized appreciation $762,365,329
Gross unrealized depreciation (4,376,580)
------------
Net unrealized appreciation $757,988,749
============
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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 had no obligations under these financial instruments at April
30, 1997.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6) LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
EVM and its affiliates in a $120 million unsecured line of credit agreement with
a group of banks. Borrowings will be made by the Portfolio solely to facilitate
the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements.
Interest is charged to each portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at the
bank's base rate or an amount above either the bank's adjusted certificate of
deposit rate, a Eurodollar rate, or federal funds rate. In addition, a fee
computed at an annual rate of 0.15% 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 months ended April 30, 1997.
