Description: EFT Eaton Vance Floating Rate October 26, 2025

Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (NYSE:EFT) is a closed-ended, U.S.-focused fixed-income fund that primarily purchases senior, secured floating-rate loans across diversified sectors, using the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index as its benchmark. Launched on June 29 2004 and domiciled in the United States, the fund trades as common stock under the Asset Management & Custody Banks GICS sub-industry.

As of the most recent quarter, the fund’s 30-day SEC yield hovered around 5.1%, reflecting the higher coupon environment that benefits floating-rate instruments when short-term rates rise. Its weighted-average loan spread over LIBOR (now transitioning to SOFR) sits near 3.4 bps, indicating moderate credit risk relative to the broader leveraged loan market. The portfolio’s duration is effectively near zero, making it relatively insulated from price volatility caused by further Federal Reserve rate hikes.
