EOI: Good Performance, But Diversification Leaves A Lot To Be Desired

Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund offers an 8.23% yield, balancing income and inflation protection by investing in equities and using a covered call strategy. The EOI fund's recent performance has been strong, with a 23.34% share price appreciation since November 2023, nearly matching the S&P 500.

EOI: Narrow Discount But Strong Track Record

Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund was one of the equity-focused EV closed-end funds that did not cut its distributions in 2022. The EOI ETF has a strong track record and has outperformed the S&P 500 Index since our last update despite its covered call strategy. Thanks to avoiding a distribution cut in 2022, the fund has enjoyed a steady or higher distribution for over a decade, though it will naturally require capital gains to fund.

Investors' Choice: Roller Coaster Or Merry-Go-Round?

Achieving long-term "equity returns" generally requires holding tight through periods of volatility. The "roller coaster" experience is worth it, as Nobel Prize winners and other researchers have demonstrated over the years.
