About ECBSX

Parametric TABS Short‑Term Municipal Bond Fund Class C is an actively managed open‑end mutual fund focused on tax‑exempt fixed income. It primarily invests in high‑quality municipal bonds across U.S. states and sectors, complemented by selective exposure to U.S. Treasuries to manage liquidity and interest‑rate risk. The strategy targets limited duration to moderate volatility, seeking after‑tax total return through relative‑value security selection and institutional pricing access. Portfolio quality skews to the upper tiers, with the majority in AAA and AA ratings, and diversified allocations spanning general obligation, education, healthcare, housing, and essential‑service revenue bonds. The fund sits within the Muni National Short category, which typically emphasizes income that is generally exempt from federal income tax and maintains durations under four years. Risk considerations include interest‑rate sensitivity, municipal credit and liquidity risk, and potential tax law changes that could affect tax‑exempt status. By concentrating on short‑term, investment‑grade municipal debt, Parametric TABS Short‑Term Municipal Bond Fund Class C plays a role as a tax‑aware core bond holding or a complement to longer‑maturity municipal strategies in diversified fixed‑income portfolios.
