About ECSCX
Eaton Vance South Carolina Municipal Income Fund Class C is an actively managed municipal bond mutual fund focused on generating current income that is generally exempt from regular federal and South Carolina state personal income taxes. The fund primarily invests in investment-grade and selectively in below‑investment‑grade municipal securities issued within South Carolina across sectors such as water and sewer utilities, state general obligations, education, healthcare, and local infrastructure. Its credit‑focused approach leverages Eaton Vance’s dedicated municipal research team, emphasizing issuer analysis, ongoing credit monitoring, and diversification within the state’s revenue and general obligation markets. The strategy’s single‑state orientation offers targeted exposure to South Carolina’s municipal market dynamics, including revenues tied to essential services and regional economic activity. Class C shares carry a higher ongoing expense structure relative to other share classes, reflecting distribution and servicing costs. The fund’s portfolio composition and holdings are actively adjusted, with recent top exposures including entities such as the South Carolina Ports Authority, City of Columbia Waterworks & Sewer System Revenue, and Spartanburg County school and utility issuers.
