EVN: Fairly Standard Muni Fund With Unexciting Yield
Eaton Vance Municipal Income Trust (EVN) is a standard municipal bond CEF, focusing on high credit quality and long maturities for income. EVN's current distribution is inflated by return of capital, which is likely to cease soon as market price and NAV have converged. The fund's strategy exposes investors to significant interest rate risk, with limited compensation versus alternatives like SHYM, which offers similar yields with less duration risk.
