Distribution Dates and Amounts Announced for Eaton Vance Closed-End Funds

The Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust offers a 9.27% yield, but its yield is lower than similar funds, reducing its attractiveness for income-focused investors. The fund's income is pressured by declining Secured Overnight Financing Rates, likely leading to a distribution cut and disappointing future performance. The fund employs significant leverage (35.10%), making it more volatile than peers, but its net asset value has remained stable.

Reaves Utility Income Fund

Closed-end funds offer a stable asset base and can invest in illiquid assets due to their fixed share structure. Reaves Utility Income Fund focuses on utilities, uses leverage, and has a strong historical return, making its 7% managed distribution sustainable. Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust invests in floating-rate senior loans, prioritizes high income, and currently covers its distribution with net investment income.

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust generates income through debt securities with floating interest rates, offering higher yields than traditional bonds due to the inverted yield curve. The EFT closed-end fund boasts a 10.53% yield, slightly lower than peers, with a stable share price and focus on current income. The fund appears to be reducing its American allocation, which makes no sense following developed market central banks beginning a cutting cycle.

EFT: Not Worth A Premium, But Not A Bad Fund

The Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust offers a high yield of 10.80%, which is higher than most investment-grade or junk bond funds. The EFT closed-end fund's portfolio consists mainly of floating-rate senior loans, which have higher yields than long-dated bonds in an inverted yield curve situation. The fund's distribution has been inconsistent over the years, but this is natural since the fund's income varies with interest rates.
