About EMOAX

Eaton Vance Municipal Opportunities Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in municipal bonds. Its primary objective is to maximize after-tax total return for investors by allocating at least 80% of its assets to municipal obligations whose interest income is generally exempt from regular federal income tax. The fund maintains a flexible strategy, investing across various durations and credit qualities, and it can allocate up to 50% of assets to below investment grade (high-yield) bonds. This broad mandate allows the fund to navigate diverse interest rate environments and credit cycles while identifying relative value opportunities within the municipal market. The fund plays a notable role in providing investors with tax-efficient income streams and portfolio diversification, especially for those seeking exposure to debt issued by state and local governments that often supports essential public projects such as infrastructure and educational facilities. With a portfolio spanning hundreds of holdings, it fits within the 'muni national intermediate' category, spreading risk across multiple states and sectors while maintaining an average intermediate duration to balance yield and interest rate risk. Regular monthly dividend distributions and its focus on after-tax returns make the fund particularly relevant for investors in higher tax brackets seeking consistent, federally tax-exempt income.
