The Trust invests primarily in debt securities issued by municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at April 30, 2015, 9.7% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 0.3% to 4.5% of total investments.

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

 

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

5

 

 


 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At April 30, 2015, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description    Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  

Tax-Exempt Municipal Securities

   $       $ 341,352,336       $       $ 341,352,336   

Institutional MuniFund Term Preferred Shares

             2,006,760                 2,006,760   

Total Investments

   $     —       $     343,359,096       $     —       $     343,359,096   

The Trust held no investments or other financial instruments as of January 31, 2015 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At April 30, 2015, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the fiscal year to date then ended.

Investments in Institutional MuniFund Term Preferred Shares are valued in the same manner as debt obligations. For additional information on the Trust’s policy regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trust’s most recent financial statements included in its semiannual or annual report to shareholders.

Effective January 5, 2015, the name of Eaton Vance Municipal Income 2028 Term Trust was changed from Eaton Vance Municipal Income Term Trust.
