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

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: A Good Floater Fund That Can Be A Hedge Against A 'No Rate Cut' Scenario

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.
