About EHSTX
Eaton Vance Large-Cap Value Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on investing in large-cap U.S. companies that exhibit value characteristics. With its origins dating back to 1931, the fund is one of the oldest in the U.S. market, reflecting a longstanding commitment to fundamental research and risk-aware investing. The portfolio typically holds 60–80 companies, targeting those with high return on invested capital, robust free cash flow yield, and low debt-to-capital ratios—qualities considered essential for identifying undervalued opportunities. The fund primarily invests in dividend-paying stocks but may selectively include non-income-producing equities and convertible securities of varying credit quality, including below-investment grade. It may also allocate up to 25% of total assets to foreign securities, offering broad diversification. The investment approach is bottom-up and research-driven, aiming to uncover market mispricings and misunderstood businesses. Eaton Vance Large-Cap Value Fund Class A plays a significant role for investors seeking diversified exposure to established value-oriented U.S. companies within their equity allocations, and is benchmarked against the Russell 1000 Value Index.
