About EASDX
Eaton Vance Short Duration Government Income Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on high‑quality, U.S. government–related fixed income. Its primary objective is total return with limited interest‑rate sensitivity, achieved by concentrating on securities issued, backed, or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies, notably agency mortgage‑backed securities alongside Treasury bills and bonds. The strategy is designed as a core fixed income allocation, maintaining a low dollar‑weighted average duration capped at three years to help contain rate risk while pursuing consistent income. Portfolio construction leverages fundamental research and relative‑value trading to navigate the agency MBS market’s prepayment and convexity dynamics, complemented by allocations to short‑dated Treasuries and cash equivalents. The fund’s characteristics typically include a broad holding count and a blend of fixed‑ and floating‑rate exposures, reflecting an emphasis on liquidity and credit quality within the short government category. By emphasizing securities with explicit or implicit government backing, Eaton Vance Short Duration Government Income Fund plays a stabilizing role in diversified portfolios, offering a high‑quality income sleeve with measured volatility and active management oversight.
