EXG: Global Equity CEF Which Has Delivered In 2025

Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Diversified Equity Income Fund (EXG) has excelled in 2025, delivering an impressive +18% total return. EXG's global portfolio, buy-write strategy, and conservative 8.7% distribution have ensured stable NAV and strong long-term performance. A weaker dollar has boosted international equities, directly benefiting EXG and enhancing its role as a portfolio diversifier.

EXG: Attractive Monthly Distribution But Discount Narrows

EXG offers global equity exposure and then incorporates a call writing strategy, generating attractive monthly distributions and tax-managed benefits for investors. International equities look more attractive on relative valuations compared to U.S. equities, even after outperforming the U.S. The fund's discount has narrowed to around its long-term average, shifting my rating from "Buy" to "Hold," but a more cautious dollar-cost average approach could still be appropriate.

Top 10 Income Funds From Eaton Vance

Eaton Vance's top taxable closed-end funds offer reliable monthly income, strong long-term returns, and are managed by highly skilled teams with proven track records.

For total return, EOS and EOI are top picks; for dividend income, EVT (domestic) and ETG (global) provide diversification and attractive yields.

EXG: Solid Global Fund But Flawed Dividend History

EXG offers global diversification and high-yield income, appealing for retirees seeking tax-efficient distributions amid US market uncertainty. Despite recent recovery and attractive discount to NAV, EXG's long-term total returns and dividend sustainability remain inconsistent and underwhelming. The fund's option-writing strategy limits capital appreciation, causing underperformance versus US-focused peers like EOS and global ETFs like IDVO.

EXG: 9% Yield, International Exposure

EXG offers a high yield (9.29%) with global diversification and a covered call strategy. The fund's discount to NAV is near its 5-year average, making the current valuation only moderately attractive for new buyers. We rate EXG a HOLD, preferring to wait for a deeper discount before adding, given the current market and fund-specific conditions.
