EVF - Eaton Vance Senior Income Trust

What this means for you

1607 Capital owned more than 5% of this fund and has since sold down below that level, so it no longer has to report its holding.

Nothing is required of you. If a large investor buys in again, the notice appears here the day it is filed.

About this fund

• Run by Eaton Vance Management. Part of the Eaton Vance fund family. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
• Size: about $102 million of holdings, as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• Borrowing: the fund borrows about 31% on top of its own money, as of June 30, 2026. Borrowed money makes gains and losses bigger. About 15% of that is money the fund has borrowed by selling preferred shares. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• Costs: 1% a year in management fees; 2.8% a year in total, including interest on borrowed money. Fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
  Among the 11 funds we follow that invest in bank loans, 4 charge a lower management fee and 3 charge less in total, at their last yearly reports. Both numbers are measured against the fund's own money, not the money it borrows on top, so a fund that borrows more shows higher costs on both counts.
• The fund's own cost example: $1,000 invested costs about $49 in the first year and about $494 over 10 years, assuming the holdings return 5% a year. As of June 30, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• Payouts: last fiscal year (ended June 30, 2026) the fund paid $0.45 a share. $0.42 of that was income; $0.03 was your own money back, not income. Most funds announce their monthly or quarterly payout on their own website, not in a filing with the regulator, so a cut or a raise there does not show up here until the next yearly report. A few funds do file a notice about a fixed payout; those appear under What happened, and when. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• Value of holdings per share at the last fiscal year end (June 30, 2026): $5.63. The shares traded at $4.98, about 11.6% below that. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
  Over the last two years the gap (a "discount" when the price is below the value) ranged from 11.9% below to 7.8% above. As of June 30, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• How the holdings did: up 2.7% over the last three months we have (April-June 2026), before the share price is taken into account. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• First reported to the regulator in 1998.

What these lines mean: a payout that is your own money back, what a fund costs, borrowing.

What a holder made

• The year ended June 30, 2026: the shares returned -4.7%, counting payouts; the holdings +2.9%. The holdings figure is what the fund's investments earned, before the share price is taken into account. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• The year ended June 30, 2025: the shares returned -1.1%, counting payouts; the holdings +6.8%. As of June 30, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• The year ended June 30, 2024: the shares returned +30.4%, counting payouts; the holdings +13.2%. As of June 30, 2024, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• The year ended June 30, 2023: the shares returned +10.8%, counting payouts; the holdings +11.7%. As of June 30, 2023, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• The year ended June 30, 2022: the shares returned -14.7%, counting payouts; the holdings -6.7%. As of June 30, 2022, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• Those five years together: the shares returned +16.1%. $10,000 of shares bought at the start (July 1, 2021) would have become about $11,600 by June 30, 2026, with every payout counted, before tax. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• The holdings over the last twelve months we have, to June 30, 2026: +2.9%. The quarterly reports carry no share price, so this is the holdings alone. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• Of the 7 funds that invest in bank loans with a fiscal year ending within six months of this one, 5 reported a higher share return for that year and 1 a lower one. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• A past year says nothing about the next one. All figures are the fund's own, from its reports to the regulator.

Why the shares and the holdings can differ: the gap between price and value. Why payouts count: a payout that is your own money back.
