Annual Report December 31,2009 EATON VANCE TAX-MANAGED GLOBAL BUY-WRITE OPPORTUNITIES FUND |
| After an uncertain first quarter of 2009 in which equity markets struggled to climb back from the historic lows of 2008, stocks staged a broad-based rally that continued through year end. For 2009 overall, the S&P 500 Index was up 26.47%, the NASDAQ Composite Index increased 43.89%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 22.74%, the best annual returns for all three benchmarks since 20031. |
| As the year began, the economy was mired in the worst recession of the post-war era, primarily a result of upheavals in the banking sector and a credit drought that led to a severe crisis of confidence for investors. Helped by the massive injections of government monetary and fiscal stimulus, the economic and financial turmoil began to moderate. As of December 31, 2009, the U.S. economy was technically no longer in recession, after the nations gross domestic product (GDP) returned to a growth mode in the third quarter of 2009. The banking sector also found restored equilibrium. After one of the most volatile periods in equity market history, 2009 will be remembered for the sustained rally that helped replenish many of the investor losses caused by the financial crisis of 2008. |
| Growth outperformed value across all market capitalizations for the year. Mid-cap stocks outperformed the small- and large-cap segments of the market, although all three groups had positive returns: the Russell Midcap Index gained 40.48%, while the large-cap Russell 1000 Index returned 28.43% and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index rose 27.17%1. |
| 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) for the 12 months ending December 31, 2009, the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index and the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index, as well as its Lipper peer group, while falling short of the CBOE NASDAQ-100 BuyWrite Index and the FTSE Eurotop 100 Index. The Funds market price traded at a 0.36% premium to NAV as of December 31, 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 |

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 return for the FTSE Eurotop 100 Index is calculated in U.S. dollars. 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 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Funds last regular distribution per share (annualized) in the period 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. |

value of the Funds total investments. During the year ending December 31, 2009 a period in which the equity market saw strong advances the Fund generated a lower level of option premium earnings. | ||
| As of December 31, 2009, the Fund held a deversified 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 53% of total investments, while those in the International Segment represented approximately 47% of total investments. Among the Funds common stock holdings, its largest sector weightings were in information technology, financials and health care. The largest contributions to performance in the common stock portfolio came from Fund holdings in the materials and utilities sectors. Conversely, Fund selection in health care detracted the most from performance, followed by underperformance in consumer staples and energy. | |
| As of December 31, 2009, the Fund had written call options on approximately 99% 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. However, those high volatility levels moderated somewhat in the second quarter of 2009 and continued to wane through most of the remainder of the period as the equity market rallied strongly. This resulted in reduced option premium levels and weighed on the Funds return. | |
| On January 15, 2010, the Fund announced a change in its distribution rate. The Funds portfolio management team reviews the level and sustainability of the Funds distributions periodically. Before deciding to decrease the amount of the Funds quarterly distribution to $0.39 per share, the team considered a number of factors including the current market and volatility outlooks, level of assets in the Fund, and the dividend yield of the underlying equity portfolio. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions on the Funds shares could be further changed. | |
| Eaton Vance Management (EVM) terminated its sub-advisory agreement with Rampart Investment Management Company, Inc. with respect to the Fund and, effective October 20, 2009, EVM assumed responsibility for the management of the Funds options strategy. |
