Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund

EVT is a closed-end equity mutual fund managed by Eaton Vance Management and domiciled in the United States. The fund invests in publicly traded equities globally, with a specific focus on dividend-paying stocks that qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment. The portfolio construction emphasizes value stocks across diversified sectors, and fund performance is benchmarked against the Russell 1000 Value Index. The fund was established in September 2003.

The fund's revenue streams derive from management fees charged to shareholders based on assets under management. As a closed-end fund structure, EVT issues a fixed number of shares traded on public exchanges rather than continuously issuing and redeeming shares like open-end mutual funds. This structure allows the fund to maintain consistent portfolio positioning while distributing income to shareholders through regular dividends.

Eaton Vance Management, the fund's sponsor and operator, is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and operates as part of the Morgan Stanley Investment Management division. EVT represents one component of Eaton Vance's broader suite of tax-advantaged investment products. The fund maintains a global investment mandate while maintaining primary geographic focus in U.S. equities through its value-oriented mandate.
