C000126196 Investment Objective and Strategy
Virtus Duff & Phelps International 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 high total return consistent with reasonable risk.
Principal investment strategy
The Series will invest in securities of issuers located throughout the world. Under normal circumstances, the Series will invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of issuers organized, headquartered or doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. As of the date of this prospectus, the Series subadviser, Sustainable Growth Advisers, LP (SGA), considers an issuer that has at least 50% of its assets or derives at least 50% of its revenue from business outside the U.S. as doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. SGA uses an investment process to identify companies that it believes have a high degree of predictability, strong profitability and above average earnings and cash flow growth. SGA selects investments for the Series portfolio that it believes have superior long-term earnings prospects and attractive valuation.
The Series equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, and depositary receipts. The Series may invest in companies of all market capitalizations. The Series will allocate its assets among various regions and countries, including emerging markets. From time to time, the Series may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the securities of companies in only a few countries or regions. Although the Series seeks investments across a number of sectors, from time to time, the Series may have significant positions in particular sectors. SGA will sell a portfolio holding when it believes the securitys fundamentals deteriorate, its valuation is no longer attractive, or a better investment opportunity arises.
