About ERGOX

Eaton Vance Government Opportunities Fund Class R is an open-end mutual fund focused on providing high current income through a portfolio predominantly invested in securities issued, backed, or guaranteed by the U.S. government. This fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to U.S. government securities, including Treasuries, agency mortgage-backed securities, and other fixed income instruments tied to government entities. Managed by Eaton Vance, a firm with significant experience in government bond strategies, the fund emphasizes diversification and careful risk management, aiming to minimize credit risk due to the implicit or explicit U.S. government backing of its holdings. Classified in the intermediate government bond category, the fund typically holds bonds with durations between 3.5 and 6 years, positioning its risk and return profile between short-term and long-term government bonds. The fund attracts investors seeking regular income distributions—paid monthly—and a relatively low-risk allocation suitable as a core component in a diversified fixed income portfolio. With hundreds of underlying holdings and a long track record, Eaton Vance Government Opportunities Fund Class R plays a significant role for income-focused investors looking for stability and predictability within the U.S. bond market.
