Top 10 Income Funds From Eaton Vance
Eaton Vance's top taxable closed-end funds offer reliable monthly income, strong long-term returns, and are managed by highly skilled teams with proven track records. I prioritize funds trading at a discount to NAV with distribution yields near or above 8%, focusing on both income and capital appreciation potential. For total return, EOS and EOI are top picks; for dividend income, EVT (domestic) and ETG (global) provide diversification and attractive yields.

EXG: Attractive Monthly Distribution But Discount Narrows
EXG offers global equity exposure and then incorporates a call writing strategy, generating attractive monthly distributions and tax-managed benefits for investors. International equities look more attractive on relative valuations compared to U.S. equities, even after outperforming the U.S. The fund's discount has narrowed to around its long-term average, shifting my rating from "Buy" to "Hold," but a more cautious dollar-cost average approach could still be appropriate.

EXG: Solid Global Fund But Flawed Dividend History
EXG offers global diversification and high-yield income, appealing for retirees seeking tax-efficient distributions amid US market uncertainty. Despite recent recovery and attractive discount to NAV, EXG's long-term total returns and dividend sustainability remain inconsistent and underwhelming. The fund's option-writing strategy limits capital appreciation, causing underperformance versus US-focused peers like EOS and global ETFs like IDVO.

EXG: 9% Yield, International Exposure
EXG offers a high yield (9.29%) with global diversification and a covered call strategy. The fund's discount to NAV is near its 5-year average, making the current valuation only moderately attractive for new buyers. We rate EXG a HOLD, preferring to wait for a deeper discount before adding, given the current market and fund-specific conditions.
