Description: EFR Eaton Vance Senior Floating December 29, 2025
Eaton Vance Senior Floating-Rate Trust (NYSE: EFR) is a closed-ended mutual fund launched in November 2003 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. The fund trades as common stock and is classified under the Asset Management & Custody Banks sub-industry.
Key quantitative drivers (as of the most recent quarterly filing) include an average portfolio yield of roughly 5.2 % and a weighted-average loan maturity of about 3.5 years, which together give the fund modest interest-rate sensitivity. Credit quality is concentrated in the BB-BBB range, reflecting the leveraged-loan space’s typical risk profile. The fund’s performance is closely tied to the Federal Reserve’s policy stance-higher short-term rates tend to boost floating-rate coupon payments, while widening loan spreads can pressure net asset value.
