About EALDX

Eaton Vance Short Duration Government Income Fund Class A is an open‑end mutual fund focused on high‑quality, short‑maturity U.S. government–related bonds. Its primary objective is to deliver total return with modest interest‑rate sensitivity by maintaining a dollar‑weighted average duration that does not exceed three years. The portfolio invests predominantly in securities issued, backed, or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies, with a core emphasis on agency mortgage‑backed securities alongside Treasury bills and notes. Managed by Eaton Vance’s mortgage and securitized team, the strategy combines fundamental research with relative‑value trading to navigate yield‑curve shifts and mortgage‑market dynamics. The fund sits in the Short Government category, reflecting its focus on government‑backed credit quality and limited rate risk relative to longer‑duration bond strategies. Key characteristics typically include high credit quality, diversified securitized exposure, and an effective duration in the low‑to‑mid two‑year range, aligning it as a potential core building block within conservative fixed‑income allocations seeking income stability and liquidity management.
