VSIS Investment Objective and Strategy

Virtus International Small Cap ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Virtus ETF Trust II.

Investment objective

The Virtus International Small Cap ETF (the Fund ) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in common stocks of small capitalization companies. Virtus Systematic (Systematic), a division of Virtus Advisers, LLC, the Funds sub-adviser, defines small capitalization companies as those with market capitalizations comparable to companies included in the MSCI All Country World ex USA Small-Cap Index. Under normal circumstances, the Fund expects to maintain a weighted-average market capitalization between 75% and 150% of the weighted-average market capitalization of the securities in the MSCI All Country World ex USA Small-Cap Index. Under the market capitalization guidelines described above, based on market capitalization data as of September 30, 2025, the weighted-average market capitalization of a small capitalization company in which the Fund may invest would range from $1.0 billion to $4.0 billion.

This threshold will change due to market conditions. The Fund normally invests principally in securities of international issuers, which are those located outside the United States, and allocates its investments among at least eight different countries. The Fund may invest in emerging market securities. Systematic believes that behavioral biases of investors contribute to market inefficiencies, creating opportunities. Systematics quantitative investment process begins with a proprietary investment-return forecasting model that uses artificial intelligence to power Natural Language Processing for sentiment analysis, which combines behavioral factors (which seek to capitalize on human behavioral biases (i.e., systematic tendencies) from financial analysts, company management and investors),?

with intrinsic and valuation factors (which are expected to provide tangible measures of a companys true worth). The final investment and trading decisions are made by Systematics portfolio management personnel. In order to arrive at the final investment portfolio selection, Systematics portfolio management personnel complement the recommendations produced by the investment-return forecasting model with a dynamic risk management overlay and qualitative reviews. Specifically, Systematic utilizes a risk model for portfolio construction, with constraints at the individual security, country and industry levels to manage exposures relative to the Funds benchmark. Additionally, all investment recommendations are thoroughly vetted on an individual company level to confirm the investment rationale and suitability before a purchase or sale.

In addition to common stocks, equity securities in which the Fund may invest include, without limitation, preferred stocks, American depositary receipts (ADRs), convertible securities and warrants. The Fund also may invest in securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and may utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments. The Fund typically does not engage in active hedging of currency but retains flexibility to do so depending on market performance. The Fund is an actively managed ETF and, thus, does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index of securities. Instead, it uses an active investment strategy that seeks to meet its investment objective. In addition, from time to time the Fund may focus its investments (i.e., invest more than 15% of its total assets) in one or more particular sectors.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund focused its investments in the Industrials and Financials sectors.
