About AZNCX
Virtus Income & Growth Fund Class C is a multi-asset mutual fund that pursues total return by blending current income, realized gains, and long-term capital appreciation. Its investment approach is anchored in a diversified allocation across three primary asset classes: large-cap U.S. equities, high-yield bonds, and convertible securities. This balanced portfolio construction is designed to capture multiple sources of income, including dividends from stocks, bond coupons, and convertible securities, supplemented by capital gains and, opportunistically, covered call option premiums. The fund emphasizes U.S.-focused assets and aims to deliver relatively consistent monthly distributions regardless of prevailing market conditions. With over 400 holdings, the fund maintains significant sector diversification and avoids exposure to foreign stocks or bonds. Its moderate allocation strategy positions it as a versatile choice for investors seeking both income and growth potential in a single vehicle. Notably, as of the most recent reporting, the fund carries a high yield distribution and a legacy of monthly payouts, further underscoring its role as a potential income solution within the broader mutual fund landscape.
