INVESTMENT UPDATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MICHAEL B. TERRY
PORTFOLIO MANAGER

INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In response to a strong economy and signs of rising inflation, the Federal
  Reserve Board raised the Federal Funds rate, a key barometer of short-term
  interest rates, on six occasions in the past 13 months. The Fed has been
  especially concerned that rising labor costs and increased demand, despite
  improvements in productivity, could lead to higher inflation.

- There is evidence that the Fed's rate hikes are starting to have the desired
  effect of producing a "soft landing" for the economy. Interest rate-sensitive
  sectors of the economy, especially housing and construction, have slowed
  significantly. Although still healthy, consumer spending has cooled off.

- Recent inflation indicators have been favorable. Wage gains, a source of
  concern in a tight labor market, showed little movement in May. Increases in
  the Producer Price Index and the Consumer Price Index have been benign, and
  the number of manufacturers experiencing price increases from suppliers
  dropped off sharply.

- The actions of the Federal Reserve Bank caused short-term yields to reach
  their highest levels since the early 1990s (see chart at right). With
  uncertainty and volatility in the equity and bond markets, many investors were
  able to benefit from the relative stability provided by money market
  instruments.

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.(1)

- Commercial paper, a liquid investment commonly held by money market funds,
  accounted for 69.4% of the Portfolio's holdings as of June 30, 2000.(2) 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 30.6% of the Portfolio was invested in U.S. Federal Agency
  obligations at June 30, 2000,(2) which are not officially rated but are
  generally considered to be of high credit quality.(1)

- The Portfolio's average maturity typically ranged from 22 and 39 days.

   [PLOT POINTS TO COME]



(1) An investment in one of the Funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the
    U.S. Government, and there can be no assurance that the Funds will be able
    to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

(2) Portfolio weightings subject to change.

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MUTUAL FUND SHARES ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FDIC AND ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OTHER
OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED BY, ANY DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION.  SHARES ARE
SUBJECT TO INVESTMENT RISKS, INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL INVESTED.

EATON VANCE MONEY MARKET FUNDS AS OF JUNE 30, 2000

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1 Significant Accounting Policies
-------------------------------------------
   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) are each
   diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds 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 (1940 Act),
   as an open-end management investment company. The Liquid Assets Fund is
   currently closed to new investments.

   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 (62.4% for Cash Management Fund, 1.5% for Liquid Assets Fund and
   36.1% for Money Market Fund at June 30, 2000). 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.

 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, 1999 Liquid Assets Fund,
   for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $6,674 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, were
   amortized on the straight-line basis over five years and are fully amortized
   at June 30, 2000.

 E Use of Estimates -- The preparation of the 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, 2000 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 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 (without par
   value). At June 30, 2000, the Funds' Principal Underwriter owned 18% of the
   shares of Cash Management Fund.

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, 2000, $338 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 and Service Plans
-------------------------------------------
   Money Market Fund and Liquid Assets Fund have in effect 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, 2000, Money Market
   Fund paid $296,617 to EVD, representing 0.75% (annualized) of the Fund's
   average daily net assets. At June 30, 2000, the amount of Uncovered
   Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Plan for Money Market Fund
   and Liquid Assets Fund were approximately $6,725,000 and $2,692,000,
   respectively.

   The Plans authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to EVD,
   investment dealers and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% of each
   Fund's average daily net assets. The Trustees implemented the Plans by
   authorizing the Funds to make quarterly service fee payments to EVD and
   investment dealers in amounts equal to 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, 2000, Money Market Fund and Liquid
   Assets Fund paid service fees to EVD and investment dealers in the amount of
   $31,162 and $3,277 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 of the above
   organization.

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 limited conditions. 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. The Fund was informed that EVD received approximately
   $412,000 and $2,000 of CDSC paid by shareholders for the six months ended
   June 30, 2000 for the Money Market Fund and Liquid Assets
   Fund, respectively.

CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO AS OF JUNE 30, 2000

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.
   The Portfolio, which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of
   New York on May 1, 1992, seeks to achieve as high a rate of income as may be
   consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. 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.

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

 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 Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian
   to 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 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. For the six months
   ended June 30, 2000, $383 credit balances were used to reduce the Portfolio's
   custodian fee.

 E Use of Estimates -- The preparation of the 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, 2000 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 $456,300 for the six months ended
   June 30, 2000. 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 $150 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 participating portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at an
   amount above either 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 months ended June 30, 2000.

4 Investments
-------------------------------------------
   Purchases and sales (including maturities) of investments during the six
   months ended June 30, 2000, exclusive of U.S. Government securities,
   aggregated $531,872,330 and $527,593,951, respectively. Purchases and sales
   (including maturities) of U.S. Government Agency securities aggregated
   $196,841,199 and $262,709,726, respectively.
