About HXBZX

Virtus Seix Tax-Exempt Bond Fund Class A is an open-end municipal bond mutual fund focused on delivering a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of U.S. municipal bonds with varying maturities, emphasizing higher-quality securities and essential-service issuers while retaining flexibility to allocate a smaller portion to below-investment-grade bonds. Managed by Seix Investment Advisors, the strategy blends bottom-up fundamental credit research with top-down awareness of macroeconomic and market trends to calibrate sector and geographic exposure across municipalities. By maintaining an 80% policy threshold in tax-exempt municipal securities under normal conditions, the fund aims to balance income generation with capital preservation. Its role in the market centers on providing tax-advantaged income and intermediate-duration municipal exposure for investors seeking federally tax-exempt cash flows within a professionally managed, research-driven framework.
