Eaton Vance Municipal Income Trust (EVN) is a leveraged closed-end fund seeking current income exempt from regular federal income tax by investing primarily in municipal bonds. For the 12 months ended November 30, 2025, the fund returned 0.41% at net asset value, trailing the 2.64% gain of the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, while the market price return was 7.13%. Performance was hurt by tender option bond leverage, an overweight to longer-maturity bonds, and exposure to certain 4% coupons, and helped by taxable munis, zero-coupon bonds, and transportation holdings.
The fund employed residual interest bond financing that brought total leverage to 31.54%, magnifying both gains and losses. Common shares traded near net asset value, ending with a 0.37% premium. Over the period, investors received $0.62 per share in distributions, a 5.67% distribution rate at NAV and a 9.58 taxable-equivalent rate based on a 40.8% tax bracket. Annual expenses were 2.46% of net assets, including a 0.87% management fee and 1.45% interest expense. The report details extensive risks tied to municipal credit quality, leverage, derivatives and liquidity.
