VESRX Investment Objective and Strategy
Virtus SGA Emerging Markets Growth Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Virtus Equity Trust.
Investment objective
The fund has an investment objective of long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of issuers organized or headquartered in, or having significant exposure to, the emerging markets. The subadviser generally considers emerging markets countries to be those included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. As of the date of this prospectus, SGA considers an issuer that derives at least 50% of its revenue from a particular country as having significant exposure to that country. 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 funds portfolio that it believes have superior long-term earnings prospects and attractive valuation.
To the extent consistent with the funds investment objective and strategies, the subadviser will consider as an element of its investment research and decision making processes for the fund any environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) factors that the subadviser believes may influence risks and opportunities of companies under consideration. However, the pursuit of ESG-related goals is not the funds investment objective, nor one of its investment strategies. Therefore, ESG factors by themselves are not expected to determine investment decisions for the fund. The funds equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, and depositary receipts. The fund may invest in companies of all market capitalizations. The fund will allocate its assets among various regions and countries (but no fewer than three countries).
From time to time, the fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the securities of companies in only a few countries and one or a few regions. Although the fund seeks investments across a number of sectors, from time to time, the fund may have significant positions in particular sectors. The fund is non-diversified under federal securities laws. 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.
