About EIBAX

Eaton Vance Total Return Bond Fund Class I is a mutual fund focused on delivering total return by investing primarily in a broad spectrum of fixed income securities. Employing a team-based management approach, the fund targets value opportunities by blending top-down macroeconomic analysis with bottom-up security selection. Its strategy encompasses traditional investment-grade and high-yield bonds, as well as nontraditional asset classes such as non-U.S. sovereign and corporate debt, convertibles, and floating-rate loans, while maintaining limits on non-investment-grade and non-U.S. dollar bonds to manage risk. The fund’s holdings include a mix of U.S. Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, and select high-yield and global fixed income instruments. Designed to complement core fixed income allocations, the fund seeks to outperform standard benchmarks like the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index through issuer-specific analysis and agile sector rotation. With a focus on diversified risk management and relative value, Eaton Vance Total Return Bond Fund Class I serves institutional and sophisticated investors seeking broad exposure across the fixed income universe in a single, actively managed portfolio.
