Our read on each fund
EVIMA
GENMD
In short
EVIM Active muni management at index-fund pricing. Eaton Vance charges 0.11% for a federally tax-exempt, intermediate-maturity bond portfolio built by bond pickers instead of copied from a benchmark.
GENM A boutique manager's take on the muni middle: high-grade, intermediate-maturity US bonds paying federally tax-free income every month. Young and small next to the index giants, and priced like the specialist it is.
Stated mandate
EVIM The fund seeks income through a diversified portfolio of debt securities whose interest is exempt from regular federal income tax, with at least 80% of assets committed to that municipal-bond strategy.
GENM The fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.
