About ECSIX
Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund Class C is a multisector bond mutual fund designed to deliver total return through broad, actively managed exposure across global fixed‑income markets. The fund primarily invests in a range of Eaton Vance–managed vehicles and portfolios, enabling allocations to underrepresented areas such as floating‑rate loans, non‑investment‑grade bonds, mortgage‑backed securities, currency instruments, and foreign sovereign and corporate debt. Guided by a macroeconomic and fundamental research process, the strategy flexibly adjusts sector weights to pursue risk‑adjusted outcomes and diversify interest‑rate and credit exposures. The fund transitioned from a short‑duration mandate in January 2024, removing the formal duration cap to expand its opportunity set across market cycles. Classified in the multisector bond category, it targets a medium credit quality and moderate interest‑rate sensitivity profile, with a stated objective of total return. Notable characteristics include a fund‑of‑funds construction that centralizes Eaton Vance fixed‑income capabilities and a distribution profile typical of income‑oriented strategies. This approach positions the fund as a flexible core complement within fixed‑income allocations, offering diversified access to multiple bond sectors under a unified, research‑driven framework.
