About EAFVX
Eaton Vance Focused Value Opportunities Fund Class A is a large value mutual fund that seeks to provide long-term total return by investing primarily in equity securities of leading U.S. companies. The fund employs an opportunistic value approach, focusing on companies that are trading at a discount to their intrinsic value. Portfolio managers use a bottom-up, fundamental research process to identify firms that are mispriced, out of favor, or misunderstood by the market, seeking to capitalize on these inefficiencies through a high-conviction strategy. The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio, typically holding 25 to 45 companies that demonstrate high return on invested capital, robust free cash flow yields, and low debt-to-capital ratios—characteristics historically associated with outperformance versus benchmarks. Its sector allocations often reflect its focus on quality and financial strength, with significant weights in financial services, healthcare, and technology. The fund’s holdings are drawn predominantly from large-cap stocks, with a preference for companies exhibiting strong fundamentals and market leadership. Eaton Vance Focused Value Opportunities Fund Class A plays a role in providing investors with targeted exposure to a select group of high-quality value stocks, aiming for attractive risk-adjusted returns relative to broader value indices, such as the Russell 1000 Value Index.
