Eaton Vance Laddered s Time. Access. Execution. Oversight. Key potential benefits to Eaton Vance s laddered bond portfolios include: Time saved. Due to heightened credit concerns, volatile interest rates and limited access to bonds, self-managed portfolios are consuming more time than ever. Ladders can help your income plan become more efficient. Access to municipal and corporate bonds. Market access is important to investors. We have access to a global network of over 100 dealers. Institutional execution. Obtaining the best price is difficult for individual investors. 1 We use our institutional power to buy and sell bonds at favorable prices. Oversight with professional credit research and management. Credit exposure in portfolios may be a major source of risk. A dedicated team of experienced credit analysts selects and monitors investments. 1 A study released by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (USGAO) in January 2012 found that, relative to institutional investors, individual investors typically pay higher prices when buying municipal bonds and receive lower prices when selling these securities. One of the main reasons is because spreads are highly dependent on the size of the trade; individual investors and financial advisors who trade smaller blocks of municipal bonds are paying more to do so.

If individual securities are rated differently by the independent credit agencies described in the prospectus, the higher rating is used to calculate the average portfolio credit quality. Unrated securities are included based on internally assigned ratings. Average credit quality may change over time. 2. Rolling Yield to Maturity: Academic research suggest that for portfolios with stable durations (like ladders) with just parallel shifts in the yield curve, that returns over time converge to a rolling yield rather than the calculated yield to maturity. In the case of ladders, the rolling yield coincides with the yield of the longest rung. Essentially, with a positively sloped yield curve, as bonds roll down the maturity curve they experience a positive price gain and a total return above their yield to maturity. 3.

Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency investment analysis at the time of rating, and the rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer current financial condition. The rating assigned to a security by a ratings agency does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security.

Municipal securities are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer could default on interest or principal payments. Municipal securities are subject to interest-rate risk. Rising interest rates could reduce the value of the bonds in the portfolio, thus adversely affecting the value of the overall investment. Corporate laddered investments in corporate debt obligations are subject to the risk of nonpayment of principal and interest. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may reduce the capacity of the party obligated to make principal and interest payments on such instruments and may lead to defaults. Such nonpayments and defaults may reduce income distributions. The value of a debt obligation also may decline because of concerns about the issuer s ability to make principal and interest payments. In addition, the credit ratings of income securities may be lowered if the financial condition of the party obligated to make payments with respect to such instruments change.
