About ECGOX
Eaton Vance Government Opportunities Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on providing investors with broad exposure to high-quality U.S. government securities. The fund invests primarily in securities issued, backed, or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, including agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries. It may also hold other fixed income instruments to enhance diversification within the portfolio. Targeting the intermediate government bond category, the fund generally maintains a portfolio duration between 3.5 and 6 years, balancing interest rate sensitivity and income potential. Managed by Eaton Vance, a longstanding leader in government bond investments, the fund uses a blend of fundamental research and relative value strategies to seek high current returns for shareholders. Its structure is designed to appeal to investors seeking income with reduced credit risk, positioning the fund as a core holding for diversified income portfolios and as a complement to riskier segments of the fixed-income markets.
