About VSHAX
Virtus Seix Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund is a mutual fund that specializes in investing in corporate debt securities issued by companies located in emerging market economies. The fund’s primary objective is to maximize total return, which it seeks to achieve through a combination of income generation and capital appreciation. By focusing on the emerging markets sector, the fund provides exposure to regions with dynamic and evolving economies, often characterized by higher growth prospects and corresponding credit risks compared to developed markets. The fund employs a value-oriented, bottom-up investment process, emphasizing rigorous analysis of each company’s balance sheet, cash flow potential, margin stability, and capital structure. This disciplined approach is complemented by multi-layered risk management at the security, industry, and country levels. The Virtus Seix Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund plays an important role in diversifying fixed income portfolios, allowing investors to access the corporate debt markets of countries outside the traditional developed universe. This can add both potential return and diversification benefits to broader fixed income allocations, particularly for investors seeking dedicated exposure to the unique risk-return characteristics of emerging markets corporate debt.
