About ERSIX

Eaton Vance Strategic Income Fund Class R is a multisector bond mutual fund designed to deliver total return through diversified fixed‑income exposure. The fund allocates across a broad set of bond sectors—including high yield, floating‑rate loans, mortgage‑backed securities, foreign and emerging‑markets debt, and currency instruments—using a macro‑informed, fundamental process run by an experienced Eaton Vance team. It primarily invests via affiliated underlying portfolios to implement its strategy, providing access to typically underrepresented fixed‑income segments in a single vehicle. The fund’s mandate allows flexibility across credit quality and geographies, positioning it as a potential core complement to traditional aggregate bond exposure while targeting a relatively moderate interest‑rate sensitivity profile. Within the multisector bond category, it emphasizes income generation with monthly distributions and maintains an effective duration historically in the limited to medium range. By blending sectors with differing drivers—corporate credit, securitized assets, and non‑U.S. sovereign risk—the fund seeks balanced total return and risk‑adjusted outcomes across market cycles under Eaton Vance’s fixed‑income platform, part of Morgan Stanley Investment Management.
