Description: EFR Eaton Vance Senior Floating October 26, 2025
Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust (NYSE: EFR) is a closed-ended mutual fund that invests primarily in senior, secured floating-rate loans issued in the U.S. market, using the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index as its benchmark. Launched on 28 Nov 2003 and domiciled in the United States, the fund trades as common stock under the GICS sub-industry “Asset Management & Custody Banks.”
Recent data (as of Q3 2024) show a 30-day SEC yield around 5.5 % and an expense ratio of 0.70 %. The portfolio’s weighted-average credit rating sits near B+ with an average loan maturity of roughly 4 years, making it moderately sensitive to changes in the SOFR benchmark and overall leveraged-loan spreads. In a rising-rate environment, floating-rate exposure can help preserve income, but heightened corporate debt levels pose credit-risk headwinds.
If you want a more granular, risk-adjusted comparison of EFR to its peers, a quick look at ValueRay’s analytics could be a useful next step.
