ETY: Decent Performance, But Portfolio Remains Very Concentrated
The Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Diversified Equity Income Fund offers a 7.83% yield, higher than most domestic equity indices but lower than its peers. The fund has performed well recently, delivering an 8.08% total return, slightly better than the S&P 500 Index's 7.10% over the same period. The fund apparently swapped Walmart for Allstate, which cost its portfolio some performance over the most recent period.

5 Best CEFs This Month For 9.5% Yield (October 2024)
For income investors, closed-end funds, or CEFs, remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. CEFs are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper draw-downs than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer “excess” discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

ETY: Solid Performance And Fair Valuation
Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Diversified Equity Income Fund employs an index call writing strategy, helping it offer an attractive monthly distribution to its investors. The ETY ETF has outpaced the S&P 500 Index YTD despite its call-writing strategy, benefiting from the higher allocations to the mega-cap tech stocks. The fund's current distribution yield is attractive at 8.40%, but it is on the lower end historically, which could mean it is due for a raise.
