After speculating earlier this year that Eaton Vance would raise its distributions on its equity CEFs, that was finally confirmed last week on April 1. The distribution increases range from 4.6% for ETV to 32.2% for EOS which gets most of the funds back up to their previous distribution levels from 2022.

Eaton Vance Raises Distributions On All Equity CEFs

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Eaton Vance closed-end funds listed below released today the estimated sources of their March distributions (each a “Fund”). This press release is issued as required by the Funds' managed distribution plan (Plan) and an exemptive order received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Trustees has approved the implementation of the Plan to make monthly, as noted below, cash distributions to common shareholders, stated in terms of a fixed amount.

Eaton Vance Closed-End Funds Release Estimated Sources of Distributions

It's taken well over a year, but I'm starting to sense that the Eaton Vance equity CEFs are finally turning the corner at market price support and appreciation. Now don't get me wrong. Their NAV performances have been stellar and in fact, the top four funds outperforming at NAV so far this year are all from Eaton Vance.

Eaton Vance Option CEFs Looking Better

First Trust Enhanced Equity Income Fund

Both the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income Fund and the First Trust Enhanced Equity Income Fund implement an options writing strategy but carry it out in different ways. They both deliver respectable distribution yields, with ETB paying monthly and FFA paying quarterly. However, the valuation difference between the two makes ETB look much more appealing on both an absolute and relative basis.

ETB And FFA: An Opportunity For A Swap

This happened in the fall of 2008 during the toxic mortgage crisis and in March 2020 during COVID-19. You see CEF shareholders sell at any price just to get out. Though this year has been more of a slow-motion crash in equity CEFs, that's not to say that we won't get a spike down sell-off that could see CEFs briefly hit -25% discounts or more. We had a name for when that happened. We'd call it the "dumb stage" of a market sell-off, and it could last one or two days before a recovery.

Equity CEFs: Buy ETB As We Enter The Dumb Stage Of The CEF Sell-Off

The Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income Fund employs a unique strategy that relies heavily on common equities and option strategies to generate income. The fund has experienced poor performance recently due to changes in the economic environment, including the Federal Reserve's shift in monetary policy. The fund's distribution has been consistent, but it was forced to cut its distribution earlier this year due to losses from its technology-heavy portfolio.

ETB: A Good 8.78%-Yielding Fund, If You Are Comfortable With The Risk

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income Fund writes call options to boost its income. ETB distributes 8% on the current market price to its income seeking unitholders. The closed-end fund has left us impressed, but we still do not recommend a buy at this point in the cycle.

ETB: 8% Yielding Options Fund

FFA and ETB utilize an options writing strategy rather than being leveraged. With no leverage, they can be relatively less volatile during uncertain periods.

FFA Vs. ETB: Discounted Call Writing Funds

The ETB fund provides high current income by writing calls against a diversified portfolio of stocks. Call-writing funds trade off upside for premiums, which could lower long-term returns.

ETB: Better Call-Writing Funds Elsewhere

I've avoided the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income Fund for years as it rose to a higher-and-higher premium which reached 20%-plus as recently as October. ETB is one of Eaton Vance's smaller equity CEFs at only $382 million in assets, so it will trade with more volatility at market price.

Equity CEFs: Initiating ETB With A Strong Buy

ETB is a "buy-write" equity CEF from Eaton Vance. The fund aims to mimic the S&P 500 index through its holdings.

The worst half to a year in a half-century is over, with the S&P 500 down -20.0% through June 30. What's in store for the second half? Well, that depends on whose advice you trust, and frankly, there's something for everyone, from bullish recoveries to end-of-the-world type scenarios.

Equity CEF Performance: Updated Through July 1, 2022

ETB continues to keep up its premium through 2022, despite the general widening of discounts and reduction in premiums we've seen in the CEF space. On the other hand, it hasn't escaped the declines of the broader markets, and performance is still down YTD.

ETB: Continuing To Expand Its Premium

One of the best things about closed-end funds (CEFs) is that you can find CEFs that win in every kind of market.

In the 12 calendar years since 1991 when inflation was less than 2%, the average return of the REITs Index was 7.4%. Returns to the REITs Index were positive in 85% of the 12-month periods when the two-year yield rose, and the average return was 15.1%, almost five percentage points higher than when the yield moved lower.

Income is very hard to come by in the current market due largely to the policies of the Federal Reserve. ETB uses an options strategy to generate a very high level of income off of the equity markets.
