INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
- -----------------------------
- - Emerging market economies have improved significantly since the difficulties
of late 1998. In Latin America, Brazil has implemented structural reforms
after abandoning its currency peg in January. Financial help by the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) and continued low inflation have helped
restore investors' confidence in Brazil and its Latin neighbors.
- - Asian economies appear to be on the mend, with South Korea and Taiwan leading
the way. South Korea, following a prolonged recession, has been among Asia's
most resurgent economies, with first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
rising 4.6%, and short-term interest rates falling to historic lows.
- - In South Asia, India appears finally headed toward recovery. Investors have
focused once again on India's fast-improving economic fundamentals - a 5.5%
GDP growth rate, subdued inflation, and the prospect of lower interest rates.
THE FUND
- ----------------------------
PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD
- - The Fund had a total return of 6.20% during the period from inception on
May 19, 1999, through June 30, 1999. This return resulted from an increase in
net asset value per share (NAV) to $10.62 on June 30, 1999 from $10.00 on
May 19, 1999.
RECENT PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS
- - The Portfolio's largest industry weightings at June 30 were telephone
utilities, investment services, and beverage companies. The move by emerging
nations to upgrade phone services led to continuing growth among
telecommunication companies. Lower interest rates gave a boost to banks and
finance companies.
- - The Portfolio's largest regional exposure was in Latin America, at 32.7%.
Brazil, at 15.9% of the Portfolio, was the largest country weighting. The
Brazilian economy has benefited from a strong surge in export demand following
the devaluation of its currency, the REAL. Mexico, 11.3% of the Portfolio, has
benefited from trade with the U.S. and a rise in consumer activity.
- - The Portfolio has limited its Eastern Europe exposure for the present. Russia
must meet strict standards to secure continued IMF lending. Real progress may
await the 2000 elections, when the country will elect a new parliament and
president. However, if industrial activity increases in Germany and the rest
of Europe, this is an area the Portfolio might target.
SELECTED PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS
- - Korea Electric Power Company (Kepco) was the Portfolio's largest holding. A
favored blue chip among Korea's investors, Kepco has initiated a major
restructuring effort by cutting expenses, improving plant efficiency, and
selling obsolete facilities.
- - In Latin America, the Portfolio had a large weighting in the
telecommunications sector. Telefonos de Mexico is Mexico's leader in domestic
and international phone services. The company has enjoyed fast growth in its
Internet business. Telenorte Leste fills a similar role in Brazil's
telecommunications industry.
- - In India, Hindalco Industries Ltd. has reported robust earnings growth. In the
face of domestic demand for aluminum products, the company has begun projects
to streamline productions and improve capacity.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------------------
Eaton Vance Institutional Emerging Markets Fund (the Fund) is a mutual fund
seeking long-term capital appreciation through investment in a portfolio of
equity securities of companies in countries with emerging markets. The Fund
is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Special Investment 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 an open-end management investment company. The Fund invests all of its
investable assets in interests in Emerging Markets 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 (8.5% at June 30, 1999). 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 Valuations -- 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 Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian
of 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 daily 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 expenses on the Statement of Operations.
D 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
any net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
or excise tax is necessary.
E Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
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 Interim Financial Statements -- The interim financial statements relating to
June 30, 1999 and for the 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 Distributions to Shareholders
- -------------------------------------------
It is the present policy of the Fund to make at least one distribution
annually (normally in December) of all or substantially all of the net
investment income allocated to the Fund by the Portfolio, less the Fund's
direct and allocated expenses and to distribute at least annually all or
substantially all of the net realized capital gains (reduced by any available
capital loss carryforwards from prior years) allocated by the Portfolio to
the Fund, if any. Shareholders may reinvest all distributions in shares of
the Fund at the per share net asset value as of the close of business on the
ex-dividend date. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis
and a financial reporting basis. 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. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting are reclassified
to paid-in capital.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------------------
Emerging Markets Portfolio (the Portfolio) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company
which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on
January 18, 1994. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue
interests in the Portfolio. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies of the Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
A Investment Valuation -- 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 sales 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 -- Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. However, if
the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from securities are
recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis.
C Federal Taxes -- The Portfolio has elected to be treated as a partnership for
United States 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 individually 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been
provided for in accordance with the Portfolio's understanding of the
applicable countries' tax rules and rates.
D 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 reported as a reduction of
expenses on the Statement of Operations.
E Deferred Organization Expenses -- Costs incurred by the Portfolio in
connection with its organization, including registration costs, are being
amortized on the straight-line basis over five years.
F Futures Contracts -- Upon the entering of a financial futures contract, the
Portfolio is required to deposit (initial margin) either cash or securities
in an amount 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 the 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 only to hedge against
anticipated future changes in interest or currency exchange rates. Should
interest or currency exchange rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not
achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may
realize a loss. If the Portfolio enters into a closing transaction, the
Portfolio will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the
difference between the value of the financial futures contract to sell and
financial futures contract to buy.
G Foreign Currency Translation -- Investment valuations, other assets, and
liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each
business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases
and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses are
converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on
the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on
investment transactions attributable to foreign currency rates are recorded
for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on
investments. That portion of
15
<PAGE>
EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO AS OF JUNE 30, 1999
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONT'D
unrealized gains and losses on investments that result from fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates are not separately disclosed.
H Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts -- The Portfolio may enter into
forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a
specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risk may arise
upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties
to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in the value of a
foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The Portfolio will enter into
forward contracts for hedging purposes as well as non-hedging purposes. The
forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily
exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded
for financial statement purposes as unrealized until such time as the
contracts have been closed or offset.
I Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
J 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 income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
K Interim Financial Statements -- The interim financial statements relating to
June 30, 1999 and for the six months 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 Lloyd George Investment Management
(Bermuda) Limited (the Adviser) as compensation for management and investment
advisory services rendered to the Portfolio. Under the advisory agreement,
the Adviser receives a monthly fee of 0.0625% (0.75% 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 months ended June 30, 1999,
the adviser fee was 0.75% (annualized) of average daily net assets and
amounted to $31,149. To enhance the net income of the Portfolio, the Adviser
made a reduction of the investment adviser fee of $31,149. In addition, an
administrative fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) for managing and
administrating the business affairs of the Portfolio. Under the
administration agreement, EVM earns a monthly fee in the amount of 1/48th of
1% (0.25% 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 months ended June 30, 1999, the administration fee was 0.25%
(annualized) of average daily net assets and amounted to $10,383. To enhance
the net income of the Portfolio, the administrator reduced fees in the amount
of $10,383. Except as to Trustees of the Portfolio who are not members of the
Adviser or EVM's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for
their services to the Portfolio out of such investment adviser and
administrative fees. Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are
officers of the above organizations.
3 Investment Transactions
- -------------------------------------------
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations,
aggregated $4,755,645 and $4,377,436 respectively, for the six months ended
June 30, 1999.
4 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
- -------------------------------------------
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the
investments owned at June 30, 1999, as computed on a federal income tax
basis, are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
AGGREGATE COST $ 9,027,075
- -----------------------------------------------------
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 2,396,700
Gross unrealized depreciation (689,010)
- -----------------------------------------------------
NET UNREALIZED APPRECIATION $ 1,707,690
- -----------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
5 Line of Credit
- -------------------------------------------
The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and
its affiliates in a $130 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 an amount above
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
16
<PAGE>
EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO AS OF JUNE 30, 1999
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONT'D
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 June
30, 1999.
6 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments
- -------------------------------------------
Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business
activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not
present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less
publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those
not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S.
securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform
accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of
practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investment in
foreign securities also involves the risk of possible adverse changes in
investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory
taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the
Portfolio, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other
developments which could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets,
while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as
those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers
(particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and
more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there
is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities
markets, broker-dealers, and issuers than in the United States.
7 Financial Instruments
- -------------------------------------------
The Portfolio regularly trades 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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts and 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. At June 30, 1999, there were no
obligations under these financial instruments outstanding.
