The sections for both non-derivative and derivative securities do not show any specific transactions or holdings figures for the reported date of 12/31/2025, so this functions mainly as an administrative insider ownership update rather than a report of new trades.
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust reported a Board leadership change. Effective August 27, 2025, the Board of Trustees appointed Scott E. Wennerholm as Chairperson of the Board for a 4-year term. He replaces Susan J. Sutherland, who had been serving as acting Chairperson since August 9, 2025, following the passing of the prior Chairperson. This update reflects a formalization of the Board’s leadership structure rather than a change to the trust’s investment strategy or operations.
Form 3 summary: Peter Campo, identified as a Portfolio Manager to Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (EFT), submitted an initial Section 16 statement reporting no securities beneficially owned in the issuer. The filing indicates the reporting relationship (portfolio manager) and affirms there are currently no direct or indirect holdings to disclose.
Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust reported the unexpected passing of its Board chairperson, Mark R. Fetting, on August 9, 2025. This creates a sudden change in leadership at the Board level for the closed-end fund.
The trust has appointed Susan J. Sutherland to serve as acting Chairperson of the Board, providing interim leadership continuity. Effective August 12, 2025, the Board also reduced its size from ten to nine members, aligning its composition with the current number of trustees following Mr. Fetting’s passing.
Schedule 13G/A (Amendment 1) reveals that Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC have trimmed their stake in Eaton Vance Floating-Rate Income Trust (EFT).
- Current holding: 987,294 common shares.
- Percentage of class: 3.7%, now below the 5% reporting threshold.
- Control rights: 0 sole voting/dispositive power; full position subject to shared dispositive power.
- Event date: 30 Jun 2025; filing signed 6 Aug 2025.
The filing, made pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b), states both entities have “ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent”. The reduced position implies a sale or dilution of roughly 1.3 ppt since the prior disclosure, modestly lessening Morgan Stanley’s influence over this closed-end fund.

- Ownership: Shares are held directly; no derivative positions reported and no 10b5-1 plan indicated.
