About EASCX
Eaton Vance South Carolina Municipal Income Fund Class A is an actively managed municipal bond mutual fund focused on the South Carolina market. Its primary objective is to provide current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax and South Carolina state personal income tax. The strategy concentrates on investment-grade and selectively higher-yielding South Carolina municipal issuers across sectors such as school districts, utilities, water and sewer systems, ports, and state-backed obligations, drawing on Eaton Vance’s dedicated municipal research and ongoing credit monitoring. The portfolio is positioned in the muni single‑state intermediate category, targeting moderate interest‑rate sensitivity while emphasizing credit selection to manage risk and enhance tax‑efficient income. The fund’s holdings typically include revenue and general obligation bonds from local governments and public enterprises that finance essential services and infrastructure within the state. Supported by one of the industry’s larger municipal teams, the fund plays a niche role in the market by channeling capital to state and local public projects while offering investors a specialized, tax‑advantaged income stream tied to South Carolina’s municipal credit landscape.
