About AZBIX
Virtus Small-Cap Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund that focuses on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. small-cap companies. It employs a diversified and actively managed approach by combining three distinct small-cap strategies: quantitative core, quantitative growth, and managed volatility. This multi-strategy structure allows the fund to provide exposure to rapidly growing small-cap companies while aiming to balance upside potential with risk mitigation and lower volatility relative to benchmarks. Managed by Virtus Systematic, which utilizes quantitative processes and artificial intelligence, the fund applies bottom-up portfolio management to create broadly diversified holdings across the small-cap sector. Since its inception in 2013, it has targeted investing at least 80% of its net assets in small-cap equities, positioning itself as a significant tool for investors seeking diversified exposure to the U.S. small-cap market segment with active risk management.
