About ECLTX

Parametric TABS 5-to-15 Year Laddered Municipal Bond Fund Class C is an open‑end municipal bond mutual fund designed to provide federally tax‑exempt income through a disciplined laddering approach. The strategy allocates across approximately equal maturity “rungs” spanning five to fifteen years, using a rules‑based process to manage interest‑rate exposure and reinvest proceeds as bonds roll down the curve and mature. The portfolio focuses primarily on investment‑grade municipal obligations, emphasizing diversification across issuers and sectors that finance public purposes such as transportation, education, utilities, and healthcare infrastructure. The fund’s structure seeks to balance duration risk and liquidity by maintaining staggered maturities, which can help smooth cash flows and mitigate reinvestment timing risks relative to concentrated maturity profiles. It is managed within the Parametric and Eaton Vance ecosystem under Morgan Stanley Investment Management, drawing on municipal market research, credit analysis, and systematic implementation. Index references such as the Bloomberg 10 Year Municipal Bond Index are used for context and benchmarking, though the fund is actively managed and may differ from index composition and risk characteristics.
