About ETSIX
Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund Class A is a multisector bond mutual fund designed to deliver total return through a flexible, research-driven approach across global fixed-income markets. The fund allocates dynamically among underrepresented segments such as floating-rate loans, non‑investment‑grade bonds, mortgage‑backed securities, foreign bonds, and currency instruments, seeking diversified exposure and a comparatively low‑volatility experience. It pursues its objective by investing in registered investment companies managed by Eaton Vance and affiliates, enabling access to multiple specialist fixed‑income capabilities within a single vehicle. Following a January 2024 update, the fund removed its prior short‑duration constraint, broadening its ability to manage interest‑rate sensitivity; Morningstar reports an effective duration near the intermediate range. The strategy is positioned as a core complement to traditional bond holdings, with portfolio decisions guided by a macro and fundamental process and an experienced Eaton Vance team. Classified in the multisector bond category, it features monthly distributions and a front‑load share class structure, with published expense and minimum investment levels typical for Class A shares in this category.
