Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

EVIMAEaton Vance Intermediate Municipal Income ETF

MFSMBMFS Active Intermediate Muni Bond ETF

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.

MFSM No data

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.

MFSM No data

Why people hold it

  • EVIM Charges 0.11% a year against a roughly 0.30% muni-ETF median. That is a hands-on bond desk priced in index-fund territory.
  • At least 80% of assets go to munis whose interest is exempt from regular federal income tax, with room for up to 20% in taxable munis and Treasuries.aaii.com
  • Income lands monthly, and the core of it escapes regular federal income tax.
  • Diversified core muni exposure across sectors, states and credit tiers, and one of the stronger implementations in a crowded tax-exempt bond field.eatonvance.com

MFSM No data

Worth knowing

  • EVIM Index rivals cost less: VTEB and SCMB at 0.03%, MUB at 0.05%. The gap is what the active team costs.
  • Trades lighter than the household-name index munis, so spreads can widen and limit orders matter more.
  • Launched in 2023, so the record is short, and results trace back to the manager's bond selection rather than a published index.aaii.com
