EVV: This Bond Fund Has More Risks Than One Might Think
The Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund offers an 8.83% yield, higher than most investment-grade bonds, but its heavy reliance on junk bonds poses recession risks. The fund's leverage ratio of 40.40% is higher than its peers, increasing risk, especially if the U.S. enters a recession. The fund appears to be struggling to cover its distributions, despite the recent cuts.

EVV: Attractive Distribution Rate, But Valuation Isn't Appealing
EVV's discount has narrowed, driving attractive total returns, but it's less appealing now compared to earlier in the year. The fund's leverage is quite high, which can drive strong returns during the good times but can also work against the fund during the bad. EVV's managed 9% distribution policy adjusts monthly based on NAV, providing some predictability as NAV can be watched to see what direction the distribution would head in.
