About VMFRX

Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Intermediate Bond Fund Class R6 is an open-end mutual fund focused on intermediate‑term fixed income. Its primary objective is to generate high current income and total return through a relative‑value, research‑driven approach across the bond universe. Managed by Newfleet Asset Management, the strategy actively rotates among multiple sectors—including U.S. government, investment‑grade corporates, high‑yield, securitized credit, and selected foreign issuers—to overweight areas deemed undervalued while maintaining strict risk controls. The portfolio targets moderate interest‑rate sensitivity with an effective duration around the intermediate range and emphasizes diversification across more than a dozen bond segments. Positioned within the multisector bond category, the fund’s design allows flexibility to allocate to lower‑rated and non‑U.S. debt when fundamentals and valuations support the risk‑return trade‑off. Its institutional R6 share class features a low expense ratio relative to peers and is intended for retirement platforms and large investors, complementing the fund’s broad, income‑oriented mandate. Overall, the fund serves as a core or satellite fixed income holding for investors seeking diversified credit exposure beyond traditional aggregate benchmarks within an actively managed framework.
