About VBFRX

The Virtus Newfleet Core Plus Bond Fund Class R6 is an intermediate core-plus bond mutual fund designed to generate total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. Managed by Newfleet Asset Management, the fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of higher-quality intermediate-term debt securities, including government and corporate bonds, and selectively allocates to up to fourteen fixed income sectors globally. This multi-sector approach enables the fund to capture opportunities across both core and non-core areas of the bond market, such as emerging markets debt and asset-backed securities, while rigorous risk management seeks to balance return potential with downside protection. A hallmark of the fund is its active sector rotation and relative value focus, analyzing yield, spread, fundamentals, and market dynamics to inform investment decisions. The fund maintains a predominantly investment-grade profile with the flexibility to allocate a portion to below-investment-grade bonds for enhanced yield. With a history dating back to 1998 and the current management team in place since 2012, Virtus Newfleet Core Plus Bond Fund Class R6 serves as a highly diversified fixed income solution for investors seeking both stability and long-term growth in their portfolios.
