About NAMFX
Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Intermediate Bond Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating high current income and total return from intermediate-term fixed income securities. The strategy employs a relative value, research-driven approach that rotates across multiple bond sectors to overweight areas deemed undervalued while maintaining strict risk controls. Managed by Newfleet Asset Management, a division of Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, the team invests across 14 major bond segments—including U.S. government and agency securities, investment-grade and high-yield corporates, securitized assets, and select non-U.S. exposures—to build a diversified, duration-neutral portfolio. The fund emphasizes bottom-up security selection based on credit quality, structure, valuation, and technical factors, aiming to balance income generation with capital preservation over a full market cycle. Classified in the multisector bond category, it typically blends credit and interest rate risk at a medium/moderate level consistent with intermediate-duration positioning. Launched in 1989, the fund has a long operating history and broad mandate that allows flexibility to adapt to evolving fixed income opportunities and risks across economic environments.
