About ANZAX

Notable holdings often include leading companies such as Wells Fargo, Boeing, and Uber Technologies. Managed by a veteran investment team, Virtus Convertible Fund Class A aims to deliver returns that capture the growth of equities with some of the risk-reducing features of fixed income. It has established itself as a significant player within the convertibles category, managing over $1.3 billion in assets and maintaining an above-average performance and risk profile according to recent independent ratings.
