ETB: Providing A Distribution Rate Of ~8.5% With Monthly Pay
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income Fund offers S&P 500-like exposure with a call-writing strategy, providing strong performance and an attractive 8.42% distribution yield. Despite a narrowing discount, ETB remains appealing for long-term, income-focused investors, though a cautious dollar-cost averaging approach could be appropriate given current market conditions. The fund's distribution relies on capital gains from its underlying portfolio or options writing strategy to fund its payout, providing potential gains in both an upward and flat market environment.

ETB: Equity CEF Still At A Discount, Over 8% Yield
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income Fund is undervalued, trading at a -7% discount to NAV, despite a robust performance in 2024 and a history of trading at a premium. ETB closely tracks the S&P 500 via its holdings, and benefits from high volatility due to its short-dated, at-the-money options strategy. The fund's long-term stable NAV and 8.8% distribution rate make it a compelling alternative to an outright S&P 500 position, especially in a volatile market.
