Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Trust

Frequently Asked Questions About EVY

What does EVY invest in?

The Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Trust functions as a non-diversified, closed-end investment vehicle. Its central aim is to deliver current income that is exempt from both regular federal income tax and New York state taxes. The fund primarily channels its investments into debt instruments issued by municipalities across New York. Its diverse portfolio encompasses various sectors, including power generation (cogeneration, electric utilities), infrastructure (toll roads, water and sewer, transportation), public services (hospitals, housing, student loans), and other areas such as industrial development revenue, special tax bonds, real estate, and senior living/life care, including escrowed/prerefunded obligations. Furthermore, the Trust may utilize residual interest bonds, also known as inverse floating rate securities. This strategy involves selling a fixed or variable rate bond to a Special-Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for cash, while simultaneously acquiring a claim on the SPV's remaining assets and income streams. Eaton Vance Management provides investment advisory services to this Trust.

What is the credit quality of EVY?

What is the yield to maturity of EVY?

Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from EVY if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. EVY's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website — it differs from the trailing-12-month yield because YTM reflects current bond prices rather than historical income paid.
