Floating-Rate Loan Chart Book Q4 2016

Eaton Vance

Floating-Rate Loan Chart Book

Floating-Rate Loans: An imbalance in supply and demand in the income market may result in valuation uncertainties and greater volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the market. There can be no assurance that the liquidation of collateral securing an investment will satisfy the issuer’s obligation in the event of nonpayment or that collateral can be readily liquidated. The ability to realize the benefits of any collateral may be delayed or limited. Investments in income securities may be affected by changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer and are subject to the risk of non–payment of principal and interest. The value of income securities also may decline because of real or perceived concerns about the issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments. Borrowing to increase investments (leverage) will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of Fund investments. Investments rated below investment grade (typically referred to as “junk”) are generally subject to greater price volatility and illiquidity than higher rated investments. As interest rates rise, the value of certain income investments is likely to decline. Bank loans are subject to prepayment risk. Investments in foreign instruments or currencies can involve greater risk and volatility than U.S. investments because of adverse market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical or other conditions. Changes in the value of investments entered for hedging purposes may not match those of the position being hedged. No Fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money investing in a Fund. A Fund may engage in other investment practices that may involve additional risks and you should review a Fund prospectus for a complete description. Commodities – The value of commodities investments will generally be affected by overall market movements and factors specific to a particular industry or commodity including weather, embargoes, tariffs, or health, political, international and regulatory developments. Duration – Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with shorter durations. Equity – Equity investment values are sensitive to stock market volatility. Gov’t Agency – While certain U.S. Government-sponsored agencies may be chartered or sponsored by acts of Congress, their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Inflation-Linked – Interest payments on inflation-linked securities may vary widely and will fluctuate as principal and interest are adjusted for inflation. Investments in inflation-linked securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index. Limited Issuance – BABs – The ability of municipalities to issue Build America Bonds expired on December 31, 2010 and there can be no certainty as to whether future legislation will be enacted that would again permit such issuance. Given the limited issuance of Build America Bonds they may not be actively traded. Maturity – Longer-term bonds typically are more sensitive to interest rate changes than shorter-term bonds. Negative Duration – A portfolio with negative duration generally incurs a loss when interest rates and yields fall. Preferred Stocks – When interest rates rise, the value of preferred stocks will generally decline. Prepayment – MBS – Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk. Real Estate – Changes in real estate values or economic downturns can have a significant negative effect on issuers in the real estate industry, including REITs. Smaller Companies – Smaller companies are generally subject to greater price fluctuations, limited liquidity, higher transaction costs and higher investment risk than larger, established companies.

Floating-Rate Loan Chart Book Asset Class Review

– Corporate debt issued by below-investment-grade borrowers – Most issuers are significant in size and scale – and many are familiar household names – Companies undertake loans for recapitalizations, acquisitions and refinancings

– Coupon income from floating-rate loans resets regularly (about every 40-60 days on average) to maintain a fixed spread over a variable base rate, usually LIBOR – Loans are often referred to as “senior and secured”: They typically have the highest priority of claims in an issuer’s capital structure and are secured by specific collateral – Other common monikers: bank loans, leveraged loans, senior loans (all are synonymous)

• Credit: - We remain constructive on the credit risk profile underlying the loan market

- We believe defaults are likely to grind modestly higher in the coming year but remain low in a historical context - The December S&P/LCD quarterly survey of loan manager shows a consensus default rate expectation of 2.4% for the end of 2017

• Valuation: - Market pricing indicates positive-but-nonetheless limited price appreciation potential from here - Performing loans bid at par or higher lifting to nearly 68% of outstandings by quarter end - Upside potential in 2017 is shaping up to take its place in the coupon component of returns, as the Fed projects three quarter-point rate hikes • Yield: - With 3-month LIBOR now at the average floor in the loan market, higher income potential may follow the next Fed rate hike

ABOUT ASSET CLASS COMPARISONS: Elements of this report include comparisons of different asset classes, each of which has distinct risk and return characteristics. Every investment carries risk, and principal values and performance will fluctuate with all asset classes shown, sometimes substantially. Asset classes shown are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. All asset classes shown are subject to risks, including possible loss of principal invested. The principal risks involved with investing in the asset classes shown are interest-rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, with each asset class shown offering a distinct combination of these risks. Generally, considered along a spectrum of risks and return potential, U.S. Treasury securities (which are guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the U.S. government) offer lower credit risk, higher levels of liquidity, higher interest-rate risk and lower return potential, whereas asset classes such as high-yield corporate bonds and emerging market bonds offer higher credit risk, lower levels of liquidity, lower interest-rate risk and higher return potential. Other asset classes shown carry different levels of each of these risk and return characteristics, and as a result generally fall varying degrees along the risk/return spectrum. Costs and expenses associated with investing in asset classes shown will vary, sometimes substantially, depending upon specific investment vehicles chosen. No investment in the asset classes shown is insured or guaranteed, unless explicitly stated for a specific investment vehicle. Interest income earned on asset classes shown is subject to ordinary federal, state and local income taxes, excepting U.S. Treasury securities (exempt from state and local income taxes) and municipal securities (exempt from federal income taxes, with certain securities exempt from federal, state and local income taxes). In addition, federal and/or state capital gains taxes may apply to investments that are sold at a profit. Eaton Vance does not provide tax or legal advice. Prospective investors should consult with a tax or legal advisor before making any investment decision. BofA Merrill Lynch Indexes: Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Historical performance of indexes illustrates market trends and does not represent the past or future performance of any fund. BofA Merrill Lynch™ indices not for redistribution or other uses; provided "as is", without warranties, and with no liability. Eaton Vance has prepared this report, BofAML does not endorse it, or guarantee, review, or endorse Eaton Vance's products. MSCI Indexes: Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Historical performance of the index illustrates market trends and does not represent the past or future performance of the fund. Source: MSCI. MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder. Credit ratings that may be referenced are based on Moody's, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. Credit ratings are based largely on the rating agency's investment analysis at the time of rating and the rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer's current financial condition. The rating assigned to a security by a rating agency does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security's market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Ratings of BBB or higher by Standard and Poor's or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody's) are considered to be investment grade quality.
