About ERIFX

Eaton Vance Balanced Fund Class R is a mutual fund designed to offer both current income and long-term capital growth by investing in a combination of common stocks and fixed-income securities. The fund generally allocates between 50% and 75% of its net assets to equities and 25% to 50% to bonds, providing a diversified approach that blends the growth potential of stocks with the income stability of bonds. The equity component is managed with a fundamental, research-driven strategy across a broad range of market capitalizations, while the fixed-income portion employs a relative value framework, investing in government, corporate, and mortgage-backed securities. This balanced allocation positions the fund in the moderate allocation category, aiming to appeal to investors seeking a single, professionally managed solution for diversification. Managed by an experienced team, the fund distributes dividends quarterly and has demonstrated a long-term presence in the market since its launch in 2016, serving as a core holding for those looking to balance growth and income objectives within a single vehicle.
