About ECLBX

Parametric TABS 1-to-10 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund Class C is an open-end municipal bond fund designed to deliver tax-exempt current income through a disciplined, rules-based ladder across maturities from one to ten years. The strategy allocates approximately equal weights to each annual “rung,” seeking diversified exposure to investment-grade municipal issuers while managing interest-rate and reinvestment risks inherent in shorter- and intermediate-term bonds. The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in municipal obligations within the 1–10 year final maturity range, emphasizing federally tax-exempt income and adhering to credit and liquidity oversight. Managed within Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s Eaton Vance and Parametric platform, it leverages specialist municipal research, credit surveillance, and trading to navigate issuer disclosure limitations and market liquidity conditions. The laddered structure positions the portfolio to regularly roll maturing bonds, maintaining duration discipline and facilitating systematic reinvestment across market cycles. Its market role is to provide a core, shorter-intermediate municipal allocation for investors seeking consistent, tax-advantaged income with transparent maturity budgeting tied to the Bloomberg Short-Intermediate 1-10 Year Municipal Bond Index as a relevant market reference.
