About GAFNX

Virtus AlphaSimplex Global Alternatives Fund Class R6 is a multi-strategy mutual fund designed to capture capital appreciation while maintaining the risk and return characteristics typical of a diversified portfolio of hedge funds. Employing sophisticated models—including hedge fund replication and alternative risk premia—the fund strategically allocates across equities, fixed income, currencies, and commodities, targeting varied and historically non-correlated return streams within a single investment vehicle. Its approach leverages both long and short exposures to global asset classes, often utilizing derivatives for efficient implementation. This structure offers investors exposure to alternative investment strategies, with aims for lower volatility relative to major equity benchmarks and modest sensitivity to traditional market indices. Rated within the multistrategy category, the fund’s role in the financial market is to provide diversification benefits and a differentiated risk profile from more traditional, long-only strategies—addressing institutional and sophisticated investor needs for liquid alternatives and portfolio risk management.
