About VMSSX

Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund Class R6 is an actively managed open-end mutual fund focused on generating high current income with limited interest rate sensitivity. The strategy employs a multi-sector approach, rotating across a broad universe of fixed income segments—such as investment-grade corporates, securitized credit, and select non-U.S. exposures—based on fundamental credit research and relative value assessments. Newfleet Asset Management’s team emphasizes diversification, disciplined risk management, and bottom-up security selection to balance credit and duration risks within a short-duration profile. The fund typically invests at least 80% of assets in bonds and maintains exposure to higher-quality, liquid securities to support stability and daily liquidity. It serves as a core short-term bond allocation for investors seeking income with moderated volatility compared with longer-duration bond funds, while benefiting from active sector rotation across economic cycles. The vehicle’s process and positioning align it with the short-term bond category, offering a flexible toolkit to navigate shifting credit conditions and interest rate environments.
