Eaton Vance Balanced is guided by an experienced team and follows a straightforward asset allocation strategy, but it lacks a clear competitive advantage. When Eaton Vance acquired Calvert in late 2016, the firm combined management on this fund and Calvert Balanced, with Calvert’s Vishal Khanduja and Brian Ellis taking over this fund’s bond sleeve in mid-2017. They have run a similar sleeve in Calvert Balanced since 2013 and 2015, respectively. Charles Gaffney has run this strategy’s stock sleeve since 2009 and joined the Calvert fund’s roster in early 2017.
