About SMVFX

The Virtus Ceredex Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund Class C is a mutual fund that primarily targets total return by investing in stocks of U.S. mid-cap companies. The fund follows a value-oriented investment approach, focusing on businesses that pay dividends and are considered undervalued based on rigorous fundamental analysis. Its portfolio is constructed to align with the market capitalization range of the Russell Midcap Value Index, emphasizing companies with attractive valuations and improving business fundamentals. By seeking mid-cap equities trading at the lower end of their historical valuation ranges, the fund aims to identify potential for capital appreciation. Dividend-paying companies are a hallmark of its strategy, providing both a potential income stream and a measure of stability that can help reduce volatility. The fund is managed by Ceredex Value Advisors, a team with deep experience in value investing for a range of institutional and individual clients. It plays a significant role in the financial market by offering investors exposure to the mid-cap value segment, which often features companies poised for growth yet trading at compelling prices relative to larger counterparts.
