About EVMBX

Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund Class I is a diversified open-end mutual fund focused on the U.S. municipal bond market. Its primary objective is to provide current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax and not subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax, making it particularly relevant for investors seeking tax-advantaged returns. The fund employs a credit-focused, actively managed approach, investing across a broad range of municipal sectors, states, and credit tiers. Portfolio decisions leverage the experience of Eaton Vance's established municipal bond team, applying comprehensive credit research and relative-value trading strategies to optimize holdings and manage risk. This fund typically invests in longer-maturity municipal bonds compared to many peers, potentially offering higher levels of tax-exempt income but also increased price volatility. Holdings are diversified across high-profile issuers, such as state and local governments, infrastructure projects, health organizations, and public authorities. By actively managing duration, credit profile, and sector exposure, the fund seeks to maintain a balance of income generation and risk mitigation. Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund Class I plays a significant role in providing tax-exempt income solutions within the fixed income segment of the U.S. financial market.
