EFT: This Is Not A Buy Yet, But Worth Keeping On Your Radar
The Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust is a fixed-income fund providing broad exposure to the floating-rate loan market. The interest rates are set to decline, although the pace of decline is not clear. Generally, this fund's earnings will decline as the interest rates decline due to the nature of underlying holdings. This fund should be accumulated when interest rates are low and expected to rise in the future. With that view, this fund is not a buy yet, but worth keeping on your radar.

EFT: Overpriced Leveraged Loan CEF
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust is currently overpriced, trading at a premium to NAV, which is unusual and at the top of its historic range. EFT's 8.5% distribution yield is not impressive given its high leverage ratio, making it less attractive compared to lower-risk ETFs like LONZ and FTSL. Leverage in EFT results in higher drawdowns during risk-off periods, making it more volatile compared to non-leveraged ETFs.

EFT: Forward Performance Will Likely Disappoint Due To Rate Cuts
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.
