INVESTMENT UPDATE

Portfolio Manager


INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
- -----------------------------
  THE ECONOMY

- - On the last day of June, the Federal Reserve Bank announced, as expected,
  that it would raise the federal funds rate (the rate at which banks lend
  money to each other overnight) by 0.25% to 5.0%. The Fed indicated it had
  moved toward a neutral bias with regard to future rate movements, causing
  stock and bond markets to rally. However, Chairman Greenspan has made it
  clear the central bank is prepared to raise rates again, should signs of
  inflation become evident.

- - During the just-ended second quarter, the outlook was optimistic for
  continued U.S. economic strength, especially as the manufacturing sector
  showed signs  of recovery. In May, the index of leading economic indicators
  rose by 0.3%, an improvement over April's 0.1% increase, suggesting the
  period of sustained growth could continue into the next year.

- - The nation's gross domestic product increased by a stronger-than-expected
  4.6% in the first quarter of 1999, then cooled to 2.3% in the second quarter.
  The second quarter slowdown has been attributed in part to diminished
  consumer spending.

  THE MARKET

- - Prior to the interest rate announcement, investors had been expecting that
  the Fed would announce rate hikes, as evidenced by the very steep yield
  curve.

- - Even as money market rates went up, bond yields fell as the neutral bias
  announcement caused the bond market to rally, with the 30-year Treasury bond
  yield finishing the quarter just below the benchmark 6% level.

- - Despite the Fed's neutral bias, the upward-sloping money market yield curves
  reflect investor sentiment that the Fed will raise rates by at least 25 basis
  points more. Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan has reaffirmed the Fed's
  commitment to stifle any recurrence of inflation, and has left open the
  possibility that he will tighten rates in the coming months.

THE CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
- ------------------------------

- - The Portfolio, in which Cash Management Fund, Liquid Assets Fund, and Money
  Market Fund invest, consists of only high-quality securities.

- - Commercial paper, a liquid investment commonly held by money market funds,
  accounted for 58.2% of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 1999.(1) Each
  of the commercial paper holdings has received the top credit rating by at
  least two of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

- - The remaining 41.8% of the Portfolio(1) was invested in U.S. Government
  obligations at June 30, 1999, which are not officially rated but are
  generally considered to be of high credit quality.(2)

- - The Portfolio's average maturity typically ranged from 30 to 40 days.

EATON VANCE MONEY MARKET FUNDS AS OF JUNE 30, 1999

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1 Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------------------
   Eaton Vance Mutual Funds 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 (1940 Act), as an open-end
   management investment company. The Trust presently consists of fifteen
   Series, three of which are included in these financial statements. They
   include Eaton Vance Cash Management Fund ("Cash Management Fund"), Eaton
   Vance Liquid Assets Fund ("Liquid Assets Fund") and Eaton Vance Money Market
   Fund ("Money Market Fund") (individually, the "Fund", collectively the
   "Funds") each of which is registered under the 1940 Act, as diversified,
   open-end management investment companies seeking high income consistent with
   the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.

   The Funds invest all of their investable assets in interests in the Cash
   Management Portfolio (the Portfolio), a New York Trust, having the same
   investment objective as the Funds. The value of each Fund's investment in the
   Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the
   Portfolio (71.1% for Cash Management Fund, 3.8% for Liquid Assets Fund and
   25.1% for Money Market Fund at June 30, 1999). The performance of each 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 each
   of the Fund's financial statements. The following is a summary of significant
   accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of
   their 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 Funds' net investment income consists of each Fund's pro rata
   share of the net investment income of the Portfolio, less all actual and
   accrued expenses of each Fund determined in accordance with generally
   accepted accounting principles. Prior to Cash Management Fund's and Liquid
   Asset Fund's investment in the Portfolio, these Funds held their investments
   directly. For investments held directly, interest income is determined on the
   basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or discount
   when required for federal income tax purposes.

 C Federal Taxes -- Each 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 taxable income, including any
   net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal
   income or excise tax is necessary. At December 31, 1998, Liquid Assets Fund,
   for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $6,891,
   which will reduce the Fund's 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 the distributions to shareholders
   which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for
   federal income or excise tax. Such capital loss carryover will expire on
   December 31, 2001.

 D Deferred Organization Expenses -- Costs incurred by the Money Market Fund in
   connection with its organization, including registration costs, are being
   amortized on the straight-line basis over five years.

 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 income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could
   differ from those estimates.

 F Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

 G 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 Funds'
   management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
   adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

2 Distributions to Shareholders
- -------------------------------------------
   The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily, and substantially
   all of the net income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders
   of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are paid monthly.
   Distributions are paid in the form of additional shares or, at the election
   of the shareholder, in cash.

   The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial
   reporting basis. Generally accepted

EATON VANCE MONEY MARKET FUNDS AS OF JUNE 30, 1999

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONT'D

   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
   relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.

3 Shares of Beneficial Interest
- -------------------------------------------
   The Funds' Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited
   number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, with no par
   value. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

4 Transactions with Affiliates
- -------------------------------------------

   Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of the Funds, 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. To enhance the net income of the Money
   Market Fund for the six months ended June 30, 1999, $651 of expenses related
   to the operation of the Fund were allocated to EVM. Except as to Trustees of
   the Funds and the Portfolio who are not members of EVM's or BMR's
   organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services
   to each Fund out of such investment adviser fee. Certain officers and
   Trustees of the Funds and of the Portfolio are officers of the above
   organizations.

5 Distribution Plans
- -------------------------------------------

   Money Market Fund and Liquid Assets Fund have adopted distribution plans
   (individually the "Plan" and collectively the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1
   under the 1940 Act. The Plan for Money Market Fund requires the Fund to pay
   the Principal Underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), amounts
   equal to 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets, for providing ongoing
   distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund will automatically
   discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are no
   outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges. The Plan for Liquid Assets Fund
   does not provide for annual payments to EVD for providing such services and
   facilities, however, the Plan does require the Fund to calculate outstanding
   Uncovered Distribution Charges. Each Fund's balance of Uncovered Distribution
   Charges is equivalent to the sum of (i) 6.25% (5% for Liquid Assets Fund) of
   the aggregate amount received by the Fund for shares sold plus (ii) interest
   calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the prevailing prime rate to the
   outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD reduced by the
   aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales charges (Note 6) and amounts
   theretofore paid to EVD. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, Money Market
   Fund paid $129,079 to EVD, representing 0.75% (annualized) of the Fund's
   average daily net assets. At June 30, 1999, the amount of Uncovered
   Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Plan for Money Market Fund
   and Liquid Assets Fund were approximately $5,702,000 and $2,455,000,
   respectively.

<PAGE>
EATON VANCE MONEY MARKET FUNDS AS OF JUNE 30, 1999

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) CONT'D

   In addition, the Plans authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees
   to the Principal Underwriter, investment dealers and other persons in amounts
   not exceeding 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets. The Trustees of
   the Funds implemented the Plans by authorizing the Funds to make quarterly
   service fee payments to the Principal Underwriter and investment dealers in
   amounts not expected to exceed 0.15% (0.25% for Liquid Assets Fund) per annum
   of each Fund's average daily net assets based on the value of the Fund shares
   sold by such persons and remaining outstanding for at least one year. For the
   six months ended June 30, 1999, Money Market Fund and Liquid Assets Fund paid
   service fees to EVD and investment dealers in the amount of $17,211 and
   $8,874 respectively. Service fee payments are made for personal services
   and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts. Service fees paid to EVD and
   investment dealers are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and
   distribution fees payable by the Fund to EVD, and as such are not subject to
   automatic discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution
   Charges of EVD.

   Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers or directors of EVD.

6 Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
- -------------------------------------------

   A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions
   of shares from either Money Market Fund or Liquid Assets Fund made within six
   years of purchase. Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net
   asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on
   shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions.
   The CDSC is imposed at rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in
   the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each
   subsequent year. No CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVM or
   its affiliates or to their respective employees or clients and may be waived
   under certain other circumstances. CDSC charges are paid to EVD to reduce the
   amount of Uncovered Distribution Charges calculated under the Funds'
   Distribution Plans. CDSC charges received when no Uncovered Distribution
   Charges exist will be credited to the respective Funds. EVD received
   approximately $219,000 and $3,000 of CDSC paid by shareholders for the six
   months ended June 30, 1999 for the Money Market Fund and Liquid Assets Fund,
   respectively.

(1)  A security which has been issued under section 4(2) of the Securities Act
     of 1933 and is generally regarded as restricted and illiquid. This security
     may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if
     the security is registered. All such securities held have been deemed by
     the Portfolio's Trustees to be liquid and were purchased with the
     expectation that resale would not be necessary. At June 30, 1999, the value
     of these securities amounted to $25,376,926 or 15.2% of the Portfolio's net
     assets.
(2)  Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of
     1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from
     registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. It is the
     Portfolio's intention to hold the security until maturity. At June 30,
     1999, the value of these securities amounted to $7,214,009 or 4.3% of the
     Portfolio's net assets.
(3)  Cost for Federal income tax purposes is the same.

CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO AS OF JUNE 30, 1999

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1 Significant Accounting Policies
- -------------------------------------------
   Cash Management 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 May
   1, 1992. 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 generally accepted
   accounting principles.

 A Security Valuation -- The Portfolio values investment securities utilizing
   the amortized cost valuation technique permitted by Rule 2a-7 of the
   Investment Company Act of 1940, pursuant to which the Portfolio must comply
   with certain conditions. This technique involves initially valuing a
   portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant
   amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. It is the normal
   practice of the Portfolio to hold portfolio securities to maturity and
   realize par value unless such sale or other disposition is mandated by
   withdrawal requests or other extraordinary circumstances.

 B Income -- Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued,
   adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount when required
   for federal income tax purposes.

 C Income Taxes -- The Portfolio has elected to be 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. 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.

 D Deferred Organization Expenses -- Costs incurred by the Portfolio in
   connection with its organization are being amortized on the straight-line
   basis over five years.

 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 income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could
   differ from those estimates.

 F Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

 G 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 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.
   The fee is computed at the rate of 1/2 of 1% per annum of the Portfolio's
   average daily net assets and amounted to $343,762 for the six months ended
   June 30, 1999. 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.

   Certain officers and Trustees of the Portfolio are officers of the above
   organizations.

3 Line of Credit
- -------------------------------------------
   The Portfolio participates with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR or
   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 participating 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 portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. The
   Portfolio did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during
   the period.

4 Investments
- -------------------------------------------
   Purchases and sales (including maturities) of investments, during the six
   months ended June 30, 1999, exclusive of U.S. Government securities,
   aggregated $353,377,137 and $348,709,793, respectively. Purchases and sales
   (including maturities) of U.S. Government Agency securities aggregated
   $298,366,831 and $275,786,560, respectively.
