- Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust (EVF) is a closed-end management investment trust launched and managed by Eaton Vance Management, with a primary investment objective to provide a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital. The Trust invests primarily in senior, secured floating-rate loans to domestic and foreign borrowers denominated in U.S. dollars or authorized foreign currencies including euros, British pounds, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars; under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets are invested in such Senior Loans across diversified sectors; its portfolio as of September 30, 2025 includes floating-rate loans (90.42%), asset-backed securities (4.48%), corporate bonds (3.80%) and other holdings (1.30%), with exposure to 339 loan issuers, an average loan size of $0.43 million and credit quality predominantly B-rated (69.02%). The Trust benchmarks its performance against the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, employs leverage through auction preferred shares (23.0% of total leverage) and borrowings (11.0%), and distributes income monthly with a distribution rate of 8.08% at NAV and 8.76% at market price as of September 30, 2025. Geographically, its investments are concentrated in the United States (85.35%), with additional exposure to Europe excluding the U.K. (8.21%), Northern America excluding the U.S. (3.38%) and the United Kingdom (3.06%). Inception date is October 30, 1998, and the Trust is domiciled and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Eaton Vance Management, the investment adviser and a pioneer in floating-rate loans since 1989, is part of Morgan Stanley Investment Management. The portfolio is actively managed by a dedicated floating-rate loan team including Catherine McDermott (37 years industry experience), Daniel P. McElaney, CFA (23 years) and Peter M. Campo, CFA (29 years, joined firm in 2025). Recent developments include the addition of Peter M. Campo, CFA, to the investment team in 2025, enhancing the Fund's management expertise in floating-rate loans. The Fund has maintained stable operations with consistent monthly distributions, including $0.040 per share in September 2025, amid a market environment featuring a buy signal from a pivot bottom on September 30, 2025, and ongoing investor interest in its reliable income profile despite market volatility. As of third quarter 2025, total investments stood at $163.44 million with net assets of $107.84 million, reflecting no major acquisitions, partnerships or strategic shifts reported in the past 1-2 years.
