S e m i a n n u a l R e p o r t J u n e 3 0 , 2 0 0 9 EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GLOBAL BUY-WRITE OPPORTUNITIES FUND |
| In some ways, the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, was a healing period for equity markets. After a dismal January and February, stocks rallied sharply as investors became more comfortable with riskier assets, encouraged by the economic green shoots and the improvements in many parts of the credit markets the epicenter of the financial crisis. Many large banks and financial institutions were able to access the capital markets and did so to raise cash and strengthen their balance sheets. In addition, the federal government demonstrated a clear commitment to repair the domestic economy and financial system with a tsunami of government-sponsored programs. | |
| After six consecutive quarters of negative returns, stocks generated strong returns in the second quarter of 2009 and extended the rally that began in early March. For the six months overall, the NASDAQ Composite gained 16.36%reflecting investors renewed interest in technology stocksand the S&P 500 Index increased 3.19%. Elsewhere on the capitalization spectrum, the Russell 2000 Index rose 2.64%, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 2.01%.1 | |
| Meanwhile, growth outperformed value across the market-cap spectrum. This dichotomy came as investors migrated from the traditional value sectors of financials and industrials to the information technology and health care sectors that are more heavily weighted in the growth benchmarks. |
| The Fund is a closed-end fund and trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol ETW. At net asset value (NAV), the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index, the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index and the FTSE Eurotop 100 Index, as well as its Lipper peer group, for the six months ending June 30, 2009, while underperforming the CBOE NASDAQ-100 BuyWrite Index. The Funds market price traded at a 4.92% discount to NAV as of June 30, 2009. | |
| The Funds primary objective is to provide current income and gains, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment objectives by investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, including stocks of U.S. issuers (the U.S. Segment) and stocks of non-U.S. issuers (the International Segment). Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to generate current earnings in part by employing an options strategy of writing (selling) index call options on a substantial portion of the value of the Funds total investments. |

1 | It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or a Lipper Classification. The Indices total returns do not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Indices. The Lipper total return is the average total return, at net asset value, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. | |
2 | Six-month returns are cumulative. | |
3 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds most recent quarterly distribution per share (annualized) divided by the Funds NAV or market price at the end of the period. The Funds quarterly distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. |
1
During the six months ending June 30, 2009, the Fund continued to provide shareholders with attractive quarterly distributions. | ||
| As of June 30, 2009, the Fund held a diversified portfolio encompassing a broad range of the U.S. economy, as well as investments in a variety of foreign countries. The Funds investments in the U.S. Segment constituted approximately 52% of total investments, while those in the International Segment represented approximately 48% of total investments. The majority of the Funds non-U.S. investments were divided between European markets and Japan. Among the Funds common stock holdings, its largest sector weightings were information technology, financials, health care, consumer discretionary and energy. | |
| As of June 30, 2009, the Fund had written call options on approximately 100% of its equity holdings. The Fund seeks current earnings in part from option premiums, which can vary with investors expectations of the future volatility (implied volatility) of the underlying assets. The first three months of 2009 witnessed very high levels of implied volatility in concert with a significant level of actual volatility in the equity markets. Those high volatility levels moderated somewhat in the second quarter of 2009 in light of the strong market advance, which resulted in reduced option premium levels. |

(1) | For the period from the start of business, September 30, 2005, to December 31, 2005. | |
(2) | Net asset value at beginning of period reflects the deduction of the sales load of $0.90 per share paid by the shareholder from the $20.00 offering price. | |
(3) | Computed using average shares outstanding. | |
(4) | Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market value with all distributions reinvested. | |

Total investment return on market value is calculated assuming a purchase at the offering price of $20.00 less the sales load of $0.90 per share paid by the shareholder on the first day and a sale at the current market price on the last day of the period reported with all distributions reinvested. | |
