About NARAX

Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund Class A is an open‑end mutual fund focused on generating current income through a diversified, short‑duration fixed income portfolio. Managed by Newfleet Asset Management, the strategy applies bottom‑up credit research and active sector rotation across multiple bond segments to balance yield opportunities with risk control. The portfolio typically emphasizes investment‑grade and securitized credit alongside U.S. Treasuries, maintaining a limited interest‑rate sensitivity profile consistent with short‑term bond mandates. Notable holdings often include U.S. Treasury notes and mortgage‑related securities, reflecting its multi‑sector construction and liquidity considerations. The fund targets a dollar‑weighted average maturity around the short‑term range, with an effective duration reported near two years for the share class family, aligning it with the Short‑Term Bond category. It distributes income regularly and has a long operating history dating back to the early 1990s, supporting its role as a core short‑duration allocation for investors seeking diversified fixed income exposure with moderated rate risk. Morningstar classifies the fund within the Short‑Term Bond category and notes its neutral, process‑driven profile.
