EVF is a leveraged loan CEF with a classic build, currently trading at a premium to NAV, but expected to revert to a discount. The fund's high beta nature and smaller size suggest larger drawdowns in risk-off markets, exacerbated by potential outflows as rates decrease. Despite a compelling yield above 7.75% at the Fed neutral rate, the CEF's dividends will likely decrease as the Fed continues monetary easing.
