BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Eaton Vance Short Duration Diversified Income Fund (NYSE: EVG) and Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund (NYSE American: EVV) (each a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”) announced that, effective October 17, 2025, each Fund will revise its principal investment strategies to: (i) remove the Fund’s 25% minimum investment requirement in each of the Fund’s stated investment categories; (ii) remove the Fund’s current weighted average credit quality restriction; and, for EVV, (iii) remove the Fund’s 10% limitation on credit default swaps.

A discussion of each Fund’s investment objectives and policies, as revised, and associated principal risks will be included in each Fund’s next annual report to shareholders.

Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount from their net asset value. The market price of each Fund’s shares may vary from net asset value based on factors affecting the supply and demand for shares, such as Fund distribution rates relative to similar investments, investors’ expectations for future distribution changes, the clarity of each Fund’s investment strategy and future return expectations, and investors’ confidence in the underlying markets in which each Fund invests. Fund shares are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal invested. The Funds are not a complete investment program and you may lose money investing in the Funds. An investment in a Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. Before investing, prospective investors should consider carefully each Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses.
