EOI: Consistent Performer But Cautious About Valuation
Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund (EOI) offers a high dividend yield of 7.8%, making it ideal for income-focused investors but less suitable for those seeking maximum total return. The fund has shown strong performance, with a total return of 230% over the last decade, driven mainly by net realized gains from tech stocks. Despite its consistent performance, EOI's current premium to NAV and reliance on tech sector gains make it vulnerable to market downturns, suggesting a hold rating for now.
