Summary

Eaton Vance Balanced is guided by an experienced team and follows a straightforward asset-allocation strategy, but it lacks a clear competitive advantage. A trio of managers takes a sensible approach to this strategy’s allocation. The portfolio tends to stay close to its standard split of 60% US equities and 40% US bonds, though managers can move within 5 percentage points of the strategic allocation. Keeping the strategy’s overall allocation fairly static means bottom-up security selection within its underlying sleeves drives performance.
