Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond & Opportunity Stategies Fund

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond & Option Strategies Fund is a closed-end investment fund. The Fund's investment objective is to provide tax-advantaged current income and gains. The company was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Boston, MA.

EXD has been one of my favorite Eaton Vance closed-end funds. It remains a solid fund, but it has been holding onto its premium for a while now.
