About EILDX

Eaton Vance Short Duration Government Income Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on high‑quality, short‑maturity U.S. government securities. Its primary objective is total return, achieved by investing mainly in securities issued, backed, or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies, with a dollar‑weighted average duration capped at three years to help limit interest‑rate sensitivity. The portfolio emphasizes U.S. government agency mortgage‑backed securities alongside Treasury bills and bonds, applying a research‑driven process and relative‑value trading to manage risk and enhance income. Positioned within the short government category, the fund targets low credit risk exposure and seeks to serve as a core fixed‑income building block or a stabilizing complement to lower‑quality bond segments. It distributes income monthly and benchmarks performance to short‑maturity U.S. Treasury indices, reflecting its conservative duration profile and quality bias. The Class I share class is designed for institutional or larger investors, offering adjusted expenses that reflect certain exclusions from operating costs. Managed by Eaton Vance, the strategy leverages longstanding expertise in government and securitized markets.
