About EIBRX

Eaton Vance Income Fund of Boston Class R6 is a mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income for its investors. Its primary strategy centers on investing in a diversified portfolio of high yield, high risk corporate bonds—often called "junk bonds"—which are typically rated below investment grade or are unrated but considered comparable in quality by the fund’s advisers. This class is tailored for institutional and large retirement plan investors, requiring a high minimum initial investment. The fund emphasizes risk management through fundamental, bottom-up credit research and relative-value analysis to seek competitive risk-adjusted returns. With over 400 holdings and more than $5.8 billion in assets, it offers exposure across various sectors of the U.S. corporate debt market, providing monthly distributions to shareholders. Its relatively low expense ratio and below-average risk rating make it a notable choice among high yield bond portfolios, serving as an income-generating option for investors seeking to balance yield potential with credit risk considerations.
