Sept. 14, 2004 — Eaton Vance Corp. said Monday that it has reorganized the managers of a number of its mutual funds that invest in municipal bonds because of a leave of absence that one manager has taken.
Tom Metzold, who oversees several funds, has left “to spend more time with his family,” and will resume his duties in January, a spokesman for Eaton Vance funds said.
Municipal bond fund managers William Ahern, Cindy Clemson and Robert MacIntosh have split up Metzold’s responsibilities for six open-end funds and the closed-end Eaton Vance Muni Income Tr (EVN), and will continue as co-managers when Metzold returns, the spokesman, James Naughton, said.
