The fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing predominantly in convertible securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers alongside selected common stocks. Leveraging the hybrid characteristics of convertibles, the fund aims to capture income potential while maintaining exposure to equity market upside. The fund’s investment strategy centers on a flexible allocation between fixed-income and equity components, with portfolio managers conducting rigorous credit and equity research to identify issuers offering attractive risk-reward profiles. Geographic exposure spans developed and emerging markets, allowing the fund to capitalize on global growth opportunities and relative value across sectors. Leverage, when employed, is used to enhance yield but is managed within defined risk parameters to preserve the fund’s overall risk-return balance. Virtus Equity & Convertible Income Fund is managed by Virtus Investment Partners, a registered investment adviser headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, with a network of research and trading professionals across major U.S. financial centers. The fund team is supported by dedicated convertible research analysts and equity strategists who monitor market developments and issuer fundamentals. Since its inception, the fund has been part of Virtus’s closed-end fund complex, which encompasses multiple specialized vehicles focused on delivering diversified income solutions to investors.AI Generated.
