About EIBLX

Eaton Vance Floating‑Rate Fund Institutional Class is a diversified mutual fund primarily focused on generating high current income through investments in senior floating-rate loans. Managed by Eaton Vance, a recognized leader in floating-rate loan strategies, this fund seeks to provide shareholders with broad exposure to the floating-rate loan market by deploying in-depth, bottom-up credit research and maintaining a wide degree of issuer and sector diversification. The fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in income-producing floating-rate loans and related debt securities, typically those rated below investment grade. These loans, which reset their interest rates periodically based on short-term benchmarks such as LIBOR or SOFR, are designed to offer a degree of protection against rising interest rates while aiming for portfolio stability and lower volatility relative to traditional bond or equity markets. Eaton Vance Floating‑Rate Fund Institutional Class is widely used as a portfolio diversifier, offering low correlation to traditional fixed income and equity assets. With a large number of underlying loans—spanning many sectors such as technology, travel, and healthcare—and monthly income distributions, the fund is positioned as a specialized tool for institutional investors seeking income generation and risk mitigation within the bank loan segment of the credit market.
