About EBABX

Eaton Vance Total Return Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund specializing in fixed income investing within the intermediate core-plus bond category. Its primary objective is to deliver total return by combining current income generation with long-term capital appreciation. The fund accomplishes this by actively managing a diversified portfolio, investing at least 80% of its assets in a mix of bonds and other fixed and floating-rate income instruments, following a relative value approach rooted in fundamentals and risk management. Notably, the fund explores opportunities both within and beyond its benchmark, covering sectors such as investment-grade and high-yield debt, and can include non-U.S. sovereign and corporate bonds, convertibles, and floating-rate loans—subject to specific limits on lower-rated and non-USD securities. Backed by an experienced portfolio management team, the fund emphasizes nimbleness in navigating bond markets and complements traditional strategies. With over $1 billion in assets, monthly distributions, and a long-standing history since 2009, Eaton Vance Total Return Bond Fund Class A plays a significant role for investors seeking diversified fixed income exposure while balancing income needs and risk control in their portfolios.
