C000126194 Investment Objective and Strategy
Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Intermediate Bond Series describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Virtus Variable Insurance Trust.
Investment objective
The Series has an investment objective of long-term total return.
Principal investment strategy
The Series seeks to generate a competitive total return, inclusive of a high level of current income, by applying extensive credit research and a time-tested approach to capitalize on opportunities across undervalued sectors of the bond market. The Series seeks diversification across the full fixed income universe as described below in order to increase return potential and reduce risk. Under normal circumstances, the Series invests at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities. For purposes of this policy, indirect exposure to fixed income securities through investment in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in such securities will be considered to be investments by the Series in fixed income securities. Mutual funds and ETFs in which the Series invests may include affiliated funds that are also managed by the Series subadviser.
The Series seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of primarily intermediate-term bonds having a dollar-weighted average duration of between three and ten years and that are in one of the following market sectors: ? Securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities. Sectors include U.S. Treasuries and Agency Debentures; ? Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs) and other pass-through securities, including those issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities. Sectors include Asset-backed Securities (ABS), Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS), Non-agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS), and Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS); ?
Debt instruments issued by foreign issuers, including foreign governments and their political subdivisions and issuers located in emerging markets. Sectors include Emerging Markets Sovereign High Yield, Emerging Markets Sovereign Investment Grade, Emerging Markets Local Currency, Emerging Markets Corporates and Euro High Yield; ? Investment grade securities (primarily of U.S. issuers, secondarily of non-U.S. issuers), which are securities with credit ratings within the four highest rating categories of a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, including short-term securities. Sectors include Investment Grade Corporates, Municipals, and Taxable Municipals; and ? High-yield debt instruments (so-called junk bonds), including bank loans (which are generally floating-rate loans).
Sectors include High Yield Corporates and Bank Loans, including both secured loans and covenant lite loans which have few or no financial maintenance covenants that would require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics. The Series may invest in all or some of these sectors. The Series may use derivative instruments to increase or hedge (decrease) investment exposure to various fixed income sectors and instruments, including, but not limited to, swaps, futures contracts and currency forwards. The Series manages duration utilizing a duration neutral strategy.
