About EEICX

Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Local Income Fund Class C is a mutual fund that primarily targets total return through investments in debt securities denominated in the local currencies of emerging market countries. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to securities, fixed income instruments, and derivatives that provide exposure to the interest rates and currencies of developing nations, offering investors diversification beyond developed market holdings. Its portfolio is designed to capitalize on the growth and yield opportunities present in emerging economies, while also managing the risks associated with currency and credit volatility characteristic of these markets. The fund is notable for its monthly income distribution and relatively high dividend yield, making it appealing to investors seeking consistent cash flow from international sources. Active management allows for strategic shifts in response to changing market dynamics, and the fund serves as a tool for broadening fixed income exposure and potentially enhancing portfolio risk-adjusted returns through participation in a wide range of emerging market sovereign and corporate debt instruments.
