About SAMHX
Virtus Seix High Yield Fund Class I is a mutual fund designed to deliver high current income and total return through investments primarily in high yield corporate bonds and other U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments from U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. Up to 100% of its assets may be allocated to securities rated below investment grade, emphasizing higher-quality credits such as BB- and B-rated bonds identified via rigorous bottom-up fundamental research. Managed by Seix Investment Advisors, a division of Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, the fund features a disciplined process with strict portfolio construction, sell disciplines, and risk management to balance upside potential and downside protection. Key characteristics include an effective duration of 2.62 years as of September 30, 2025, sector allocations led by financials at 28.20%, energy at 10.82%, and cable satellite at 7.71%, and top holdings like Virtus Seix Senior Loan ETF and various corporate notes. Launched in 2001, it offers diversification benefits with low correlation to investment-grade bonds and modest ties to equities, playing a vital role in fixed income portfolios seeking enhanced yield.
