About EALBX

The Parametric TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund specializing in municipal fixed income investments. Its primary objective is to generate current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax by investing mainly in municipal obligations, including both general obligation and revenue bonds, with maturities ranging from 1 to 10 years. The fund employs a rules-based laddered allocation strategy, distributing holdings approximately equally across the 1-10 year maturity spectrum. This laddered design helps manage interest rate risk and provides a predictable stream of income while maintaining diversification across issuers and maturities. Emphasizing rigorous credit analysis and selection, the fund’s management seeks attractively valued securities and incorporates ongoing tax-management strategies to enhance tax efficiency. The fund is positioned to serve as a core holding for investors seeking exposure to the municipal bond market or as a complement within a broader portfolio of fixed income assets, particularly for those concerned about rising interest rates or seeking tax-advantaged income. The Parametric TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund is managed by Eaton Vance and Parametric, both subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley Investment Management.
