Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund

A closed-end fixed income mutual fund, VGI provides diversified exposure to global bond markets across multiple asset classes and credit qualities. The fund invests in government debt, corporate bonds, bank loans, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and municipal bonds across both investment-grade and high-yield segments. Portfolio construction employs fundamental analysis combining top-down macroeconomic positioning with bottom-up security selection, incorporating factors such as yield and spread analysis, credit risk assessment, sector fundamentals, and technical market conditions. The fund maintains an average portfolio duration within three years of the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, its primary benchmark.

VGI is managed through a partnership between Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. and Newfleet Asset Management, LLC, subsidiaries of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., a Hartford, Connecticut-based asset management firm. The fund was incorporated in Delaware and commenced operations in February 2012, initially under the name Virtus-Newfleet Global Multi-Sector Income Fund. As a closed-end fund structure, VGI issues a fixed number of shares trading on the NYSE, generating revenue through management fees charged to its asset base rather than through discrete product sales.
