About ASFCX

Virtus AlphaSimplex Managed Futures Strategy Fund Class C is a mutual fund that employs a systematic, trend-following approach to investing across global futures and forward markets. Its primary objective is long-term capital appreciation through an absolute return strategy, aiming to deliver positive results regardless of prevailing market conditions. The fund leverages a diversified portfolio, dynamically taking long and short positions in liquid contracts tied to equities, fixed income, currencies, and commodities. This multi-asset exposure is designed to capture momentum from identifiable price trends in global markets, while the flexible risk allocation enables adaptation to changing volatility and market inflection points. Notably, the fund often exhibits low correlation with traditional stock and bond investments, making it a valuable diversification tool within broader portfolios, particularly during periods of market stress. Managed by AlphaSimplex Group, a specialist in quantitative and systematic strategies, the fund's disciplined process and active risk management seek to harness market dislocations while maintaining a moderate level of volatility over the long term.
