MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS
To Virtus Opportunities Trust Shareholders:
I am pleased to present this annual report, which reviews the performance of your Fund for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022.
During the reporting period, market strength in 2021 was followed by volatility in the first nine months of 2022. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and other central banks raised interest rates and tightened monetary policy in an effort to fight rising inflation. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February created geopolitical uncertainty and contributed to rising prices, particularly for energy and food.
Domestic equity indexes recorded declines for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022. U.S. large-capitalization stocks were down 15.47%, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, and small-cap stocks lost 23.50%, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. Losses were also felt across international equities, with developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), declining 25.13%, while emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), were down 28.11%.
In fixed income markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose sharply to 3.83% on September 30, 2022, from 1.52% on September 30, 2021, as the Fed implemented several large interest rate hikes. The broader U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was down 14.60% for the 12-month period, while non-investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, lost 14.14%.
While market volatility can be challenging, staying focused on your long-term goals can help. Please call our customer service team at 800-243-1574 if you have questions about your account or require assistance. Thank you for your continued confidence in us.
Sincerely,
George R. Aylward
President, Virtus Opportunities Trust

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD OF April 1, 2022 TO September 30, 2022
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Virtus Opportunities Trust Fund discussed in this shareholder report (each, a “Fund”), you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases of Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges on Class C shares (except for Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund), and C1 shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and service fees, and other expenses. Class C shares for Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund are sold without a sales charge. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are sold without sales charges and do not incur distribution and service fees. Class R6 shares also do not incur shareholder servicing fees. For further information regarding applicable sales charges, see Note 1 in the Notes to Financial Statements. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period. The Annualized Expense Ratios may be different from the expense ratios in the Financial Highlights which are for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the accompanying tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

* Expenses are equal to the relevant Fund’s annualized expense ratio, which is net of waived fees and reimbursed expenses, if applicable, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (183) expenses were accrued in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365 to reflect the one-half year period.
For Funds which may invest in other funds, the annualized expense ratios noted above do not reflect fees and expenses associated with any underlying funds. If such fees and expenses had been included, the expenses would have been higher.
You can find more information about a Fund’s expenses in the Financial Statements section that follows. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, refer to that Fund’s prospectus.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
Central banks embarked on the first meaningful tightening of monetary policy in several years in response to elevated inflation during the fiscal year. Their messaging was consistent: they are focused on fighting high inflation. The monetary backdrop clouded the outlook for global and regional economies, and led to an increased probability of recession. This resulted in negative total returns for most assets. The pandemic remained a global issue, with China’s zero-COVID policy continuing to delay the normalization of supply chains, though there were signs that the rigid policy may be eased. Meanwhile, the war between Russia and Ukraine presented an ongoing economic shock to food and energy prices. These unresolved issues made economic forecasting and modeling a challenge and contributed to a volatile investing environment during the fiscal year.
The Federal Reserve (the Fed) and other major central banks shifted their rhetoric sharply hawkish,
indicating that keeping inflation under control is their primary goal, in response to elevated inflation measures. The Fed raised its main policy interest rate 3.00% during the fiscal year, including three jumbo moves of 0.75% each, and indicated its resolve to restore price stability. The Fed began to shrink its $8.9 trillion balance sheet, and increased its pace in September. The European Central Bank (ECB) also joined the inflation fight, raising its policy rate to 1.25% over two meetings, marking the first increases from zero interest rates since 2016. In addition to managing the start of its own balance sheet wind-down, the ECB is managing the complex task of preventing financial fragmentation among its member countries. The Bank of Japan was relatively less concerned about inflation given local economic conditions, but weakness in the yen was challenging that stance.
During the 12-month period, volatility in the fixed income markets increased due to both the more hawkish Fed policy and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. U.S. Treasuries outperformed spread sectors (non-governmental fixed income investments) on an excess return basis. Excess return refers to the difference in return – positive or negative – between an individual security and a comparable risk-free asset, in this case a U.S. Treasury with the same duration (interest rate sensitivity). With the spike in U.S. Treasury yields, less interest rate-sensitive sectors such as high yield bank loans, and other shorter-duration asset classes, including asset-backed securities, generally outperformed on a total return basis.
During the 12-month period, the U.S. Treasury yield curve shifted higher on the front end, resulting in an inverted yield curve. This occurs when the yields on longer-term investments drop below the yields on shorter-term investments with the same risk profile.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund’s allocations to high yield bank loans, non-agency mortgage-backed securities over agency mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities had a positive impact on performance for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022.
The Fund’s underweight to U.S. Treasury securities had a negative impact during the period.
The Fund’s timing of the municipal bond crossover trade was a detractor during the period. A crossover trade refers to a scenario in which comparable U.S. Treasuries and tax-exempt municipal bonds show a disparity in valuations. Investors can seek to capture value by selling out of relatively overvalued U.S. Treasuries or taxable municipal bonds and buying tax-exempt bonds of comparable maturity. When market conditions change, the investor can reverse this trade.
The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee that market forecasts will be realized.
Credit & Interest: Debt instruments are subject to various risks, including credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.
ABS/MBS: Changes in interest rates can cause both extension and prepayment risks for asset- and mortgage-backed securities. These securities are also subject to risks associated with the non-repayment of underlying collateral, including losses to the Fund.
High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.
Bank Loans: Bank loans may be unsecured or not fully collateralized, may be subject to restrictions on resale, may be less liquid and may trade infrequently on the secondary market. Bank loans settle on a delayed basis; thus, sale proceeds may not be available to meet redemptions for a substantial period of time after the sale of the loan.
Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.

The Fund is diversified and has a primary investment objective of high current income and a secondary objective of capital growth. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objectives.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned -13.15%, Class C shares at NAV returned -13.87%, Class I shares at NAV returned -13.14%, and Class R6 shares at NAV returned -13.00%. For the same period, the Bloomberg U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index, which serves as both the Fund’s broad-based and style-specific index appropriate for comparison, returned -14.15%.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
The Bloomberg U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index declined more than 14% for the fiscal year. While the fourth calendar quarter of 2021 saw relatively flat returns for the high yield market, the first three quarters of 2022 were challenging, with both rising interest rates and widening credit spreads – the difference in yield between high yield bonds and a benchmark bond measure, such as Treasury bonds – acting as headwinds. High inflation led the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to tighten monetary policy through a series of interest rate increases, while signaling additional hikes to come.
Meanwhile, war between Ukraine and Russia added to the macroeconomic risks and drove higher electricity and natural gas prices in Europe. Consequently, market participants began to price a recession into the market via higher credit spreads. This was particularly true in the riskiest part of the market – bonds rated CCC – which underperformed higher-quality areas of the market. Despite being
higher in quality, BB-rated bonds performed in-line with riskier B-rated bonds due to having greater duration, or sensitivity to changes in interest rates, during the current rising rate environment.
Volatility remained high, with six of the nine months in 2022 seeing index returns greater than 2% or less than -2%, including four straight months from June to September. Credit spreads ranged from a low of 2.72% to a high of 5.85%, and ended the quarter at 5.54%. This volatility, plus poor performance, led to outflows from high yield bonds. However, this had a more muted impact on returns due to new issue supply being much lower than in prior years.
Industry performance varied, with energy-related industries outperforming due to elevated commodity prices. Other outperformers included aerospace & defense, which benefited from increased military spending, and airlines, which benefited from a post-COVID rebound in travel. Retailers underperformed during the fiscal year as they struggled with supply chain issues while consumer spending shifted away from goods and toward services. Health care also underperformed due to COVID’s ongoing impact on its workforce, rising labor costs, and poor performance among certain pharmaceutical issuers. Lastly, cable/satellite issuers underperformed on weaker results and higher spending due to competitive pressures.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund’s outperformance versus the broader market can be attributed to several factors. On the asset allocation front, an out-of-index allocation to bank loans – floating rate securities unimpacted by the rising Treasury yields that weighed on the performance of high yield bonds – helped performance. The Fund’s industry allocation included a large overweight to commodity-related issuers, which outperformed due to elevated commodity prices. The Fund entered the fiscal year with a large overweight to CCC-rated bonds, and while this was reduced throughout the year, it remained as a detractor.
Performance was helped by investments in a bond of Plantronics, a technology hardware firm that was acquired by HP, resulting in large outperformance; Coronado Finance, a metallurgical coal producer, which benefited from elevated coal prices; and Callon
Petroleum, an oil and gas producer that was able to refinance a short-maturity bond held in the Fund.
Detractors from performance included Rackspace Technology, a technology services firm that performed poorly; ARD Finance, a packaging company that had elevated leverage and faced rising input costs; and Community Health Systems, a highly levered hospital owner that posted poor results due to elevated staffing costs and weak volumes.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee that market forecasts will be realized.
Credit & Interest: Debt instruments are subject to various risks, including credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.
High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.
Industry/Sector Concentration: A fund that focuses its investments in a particular industry or sector will be more sensitive to conditions that affect that industry or sector than a non-concentrated fund.
Foreign Investing: Investing in foreign securities subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility; currency fluctuations; less liquidity; less publicly available information about the foreign investment; and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
Central banks embarked on the first meaningful tightening of monetary policy in several years in response to elevated inflation during the fiscal year. Their messaging was consistent: they are focused on fighting high inflation. The monetary backdrop clouded the outlook for global and regional economies, and led to an increased probability of recession. This resulted in negative total returns for most assets. The pandemic remained a global issue, with China’s zero-COVID policy continuing to delay the normalization of supply chains, though there were signs that the rigid policy may be eased. Meanwhile, the war between Russia and Ukraine presented an ongoing economic shock to food and energy prices. These unresolved issues made economic forecasting and modeling a challenge and contributed to a volatile investing environment during the fiscal year.
The Federal Reserve (the Fed) and other major central banks shifted their rhetoric sharply hawkish, indicating that keeping inflation under control is their primary goal, in response to elevated inflation measures. The Fed raised its main policy interest rate 3.00% during the fiscal year, including three jumbo moves of 0.75% each, and indicated its resolve to restore price stability. The Fed began to shrink its $8.9 trillion balance sheet, and increased its pace in September. The European Central Bank (ECB) also joined the inflation fight, raising its policy rate to 1.25% over two meetings, marking the first increases from zero interest rates since 2016. In addition to managing the start of its own balance sheet wind-down, the ECB is managing the complex task of preventing financial fragmentation among its member countries. The Bank of Japan was relatively less concerned about inflation given local economic conditions, but weakness in the yen was challenging that stance.
During the 12-month period, volatility in the fixed income markets increased due to both the more hawkish Fed policy and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. U.S. Treasuries outperformed spread sectors (non-governmental fixed income investments) on an excess return basis. Excess return refers to the difference in return – positive or negative – between an individual security and a comparable risk-free asset, in this case a U.S. Treasury with the same duration (interest rate sensitivity). With the spike in U.S. Treasury yields, less interest rate-sensitive sectors such as high yield bank loans, and other shorter-duration asset classes, including asset-backed securities, generally outperformed on a total return basis.
During the 12-month period, the U.S. Treasury yield curve shifted higher on the front end, resulting in an inverted yield curve. This occurs when the yields on longer-term investments drop below the yields on shorter-term investments with the same risk profile.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund’s allocations to high yield bank loans and asset-backed securities, its underweight to corporate high quality securities, and the allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities over agency mortgage-backed securities all had a positive impact on performance for the 12-month period ended
September 30, 2022. Overall issue selection was positive for the period.
The Fund’s underweight to U.S. Treasury securities had a negative impact during the period.
The Fund’s allocation to emerging markets high yield and yankee high quality securities were detractors during the period.

Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee that market forecasts will be realized.
Credit & Interest: Debt instruments are subject to various risks, including credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.
High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.
Bank Loans: Bank loans may be unsecured or not fully collateralized, may be subject to restrictions on resale, may be less liquid and may trade infrequently on the secondary market. Bank loans settle on a delayed basis; thus, sale proceeds may not be available to meet redemptions for a substantial period of time after the sale of the loan.
Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
ABS/MBS: Changes in interest rates can cause both extension and prepayment risks for asset- and mortgage-backed securities. These securities are also subject to risks associated with the non-repayment of underlying collateral, including losses to the Fund.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the

The Fund is diversified and has an investment objective of high total return from both current income and capital appreciation. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objective.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned -2.87%, Class C shares at NAV returned -3.71%, Class I shares at NAV returned -2.75%, and Class R6 shares at NAV returned -2.61%.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
Despite a negative return of -2.62% for bank loans over the 12-month period, as measured by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, bank loans outperformed all other fixed-rate asset classes as the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) interest rate hiking cycle negatively impacted investments with longer duration, given their greater sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The fiscal year, which began with solid expectations for economic growth and moderate Fed rate hikes, was quickly impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as stubbornly high inflation. The latter was met with an aggressive rate hike cycle that saw the Fed’s benchmark interest rate increase from near-zero to 3%. As the year progressed, the Fed grew increasingly committed to rate hikes at the expense of economic stability, resulting in risk assets, including bank loans, pricing in ever-higher probabilities of recession. This increasingly hawkish, or anti-inflation, tone increased investor anxiety about the strength of the U.S. consumer and the ability for borrowers to service high interest rates on their debt. The result was lower
loan prices and wider credit spreads– defined as the additional yield an investor receives above the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate for bonds of the same duration – in the bank loan market.
As investors became less focused on the negative effects of higher rates on bond prices, and more concerned about the increased possibility of a recession based on the negative impact those higher rates may have on consumers and corporations, lower-quality credit tiers underperformed higher-quality credit tiers. Within the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index and for the fiscal year, CCC-rated loans returned -10.9% and B-rated bank loans returned -2.8%, underperforming BB-rated risk, which posted a return of -0.27%. Split BBB bank loans posted positive performance, up 0.24%. Distressed loans were the worst performers, down 24.5%.
Inflation-sensitive industries and businesses that initially benefited from COVID-19 were negatively impacted during this period, but idiosyncratic risks did pop up across multiple industries in the economy. Underperformers within the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index included consumer durables (-8.1%), housing (4.4%), health care (-4.4%), telecommunications (5.2%), broadcasting (-5.2%), and technology (-3.9%). Outperforming industries included less inflation-sensitive businesses such as energy (3.1%), utilities (0.9%), food and drug stores (1.5%), and areas of media/wireless communications (-0.9%).
The decline during the fiscal year left the bank loan market with spreads wider than historic long-term averages, reflecting investor concern about deteriorating credit conditions. The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index’s yield to maturity, defined as the expected annual rate of return earned on a debt-based investment assuming that the debt is held until maturity, ended the fiscal year at 10.3%, up from 5.1% at the start of the period. The weighted average market price of the Index decreased from 98.4 at the start of the period to 91.6 as of September 30, 2022.
Fundamental conditions in the bank loan market remained stable for much of the fiscal year as corporate borrowers managed to execute price increases in the face of solid consumer demand, and reduce costs in order to maintain profit margins.
However, the ratio of credit downgrades to upgrades as well as bank loans priced below 80 cents and defaults all ticked higher during the fiscal year, implying that stress within this market was building. While the data points were still historically low and manageable, they pointed to the possibility of the start of a down cycle.
Bank loan technical factors remained generally in balance. Despite a rising rate environment, retail fund flows turned negative. On top of that, a collateralized loan obligation (CLO) issuance market that was surprisingly resilient also started to slow. Such waning demand was met with a dearth of new issue supply as merger and acquisitions (M&A) and leveraged buyout (LBO) activity slowed as capital markets tightened amid the volatility.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2022, the Fund’s gross return outpaced that of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. The Fund’s repositioning from a “risk-on” posture in 2020 and 2021 to a more defensive posture in 2022 led to the outperformance. Much of this repositioning was driven by taking active underweights to highly leveraged industries and industries that are sensitive to an inflationary environment.
At the same time, as macroeconomic fundamentals slowly deteriorated later in the year, this loss avoidance strategy shifted the Fund up in credit quality. In particular, an increase in cash during a down market, an underweight to lower-quality B- and CCC-rated assets, underweights in health care and technology, and security selection in gaming/leisure all positively contributed to performance.
Finally, the Fund’s low rate of participation in debt deals used to fund highly leveraged and lower-rated M&A and LBO transactions issued in the last 12 to 15 months also positively contributed to performance. The Fund’s small position in the equity of issuers that underwent a financial overhaul of their business also contributed positively to performance for the fiscal year.
Conversely, credit selection in inflation-sensitive industries, including food and consumer durables and packaging, negatively impacted performance, as did the Fund’s liquidity-management-driven high yield position.

The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee that market forecasts will be realized.
Credit & Interest: Debt instruments are subject to various risks, including credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.
Bank Loans: Bank loans may be unsecured or not fully collateralized, may be subject to restrictions on resale, may be less liquid and may trade infrequently on the secondary market. Bank loans settle on a delayed basis; thus, sale proceeds may not be available to meet redemptions for a substantial period of time after the sale of the loan.
High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.
Liquidity: Certain instruments may be difficult or impossible to sell at a time and price beneficial to the Fund.
Leverage: When a portfolio is leveraged, the value of its securities may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general
economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional, or global events such as war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

Portfolio Manager Commentary by
Seix Investment Advisors, LLC
The Fund is diversified and has an investment objective of providing a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objective.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned -10.30%, Class C shares at NAV returned -10.97%, and Class I shares at NAV returned -10.07%. For the same period, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad-based fixed income index, returned -14.60%, and the ICE BofA 1-22 Year U.S. Municipal Securities Index, which is the Fund’s style-specific benchmark appropriate for comparison, returned -9.51%.
All performance figures assume reinvestment of distributions and exclude the effect of sales charges. Performance data quoted represents past results. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit Virtus.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end.
How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
The municipal bond market experienced disappointing and difficult performance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. The dominant themes for the municipal market over the 12-month period were record outflows from open-end municipal bond funds, concerns about outsized inflation, and the response proposed by the Federal Reserve (the Fed) that sought to cool the economy without pushing it into a recession.
For the fiscal year, shorter dated and higher quality bonds realized the best absolute performance as interest rates increased dramatically, while longer-maturity and lower-quality (BBB-rated/below investment grade) bonds produced the worst absolute performance. Credit spreads (the additional yield the market demands from lower-rated bonds
versus higher-quality bonds) widened and low coupon structured bonds moved quickly from premium prices to discounts, exacerbating the rapid decline in performance.
Municipal bonds outperformed the broader fixed income market during the fiscal year. However, the market’s concerns about whether the Fed would be able to negotiate a soft landing for the economy in the face of soaring inflation resulted in lopsided market moves and extreme volatility.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2022, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-22 Year U.S. Municipal Securities Index. The Fund benefited from exposure to bonds with shorter to intermediate maturities (less than 10 years) and bonds of higher credit quality.
Relative performance versus the benchmark was negatively impacted by the Fund’s exposure to lower coupon structures, long duration securities, and to some extent exposure to lower-quality bonds.
The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee that market forecasts will be realized.
Credit & Interest: Debt instruments are subject to various risks, including credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.
Municipal Market: Events negatively impacting a municipality, municipal security, or the municipal bond market in general, may cause the Fund to decrease in value.
High Yield Fixed Income Securities: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and
increased price volatility related to high yield securities than investment grade securities.
State & AMT Tax: A portion of income may be subject to some state and/or local taxes and, for certain investors, a portion may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional, or global events such as war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

Security held by the Fund with an end of period value of $342 was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in trading activities at period end.
Some of the Fund’s investments that were categorized as Level 3 may have been valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. If applicable, such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of Level 3 investments.
Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the roll-forward of Level 3 securities and assumptions are not shown for the period ended September 30, 2022.

Securities held by the Fund with an end of period value of $1 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in trading activities at period end.
Some of the Fund’s investments that were categorized as Level 3 may have been valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. If applicable, such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of Level 3 investments.
Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the roll-forward of Level 3 securities and assumptions are not shown for the period ended September 30, 2022.

(1) Includes internally fair valued securities currently priced at zero ($0).
Securities held by the Fund with an end of period value of $701 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in trading activities at period end.
Some of the Fund’s investments that were categorized as Level 3 may have been valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. If applicable, such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of Level 3 investments.
Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the roll-forward of Level 3 securities and assumptions are not shown for the period ended September 30, 2022.

(1) Includes internally fair valued securities currently priced at zero ($0).
Securities held by the Fund with an end of period value of $5,371 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 due to a increase in trading activities at period end.
Securities held by the Fund with an end of period value of $12,057 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in trading activities at period end.
Some of the Fund’s investments that were categorized as Level 3 may have been valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. If applicable, such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of Level 3 investments.
Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the roll-forward of Level 3 securities and assumptions are not shown for the period ended September 30, 2022.

(1) Includes internally fair valued securities currently priced at zero ($0).
Securities held by the Fund with an end of period value of $568 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 due to a increase in trading activities at period end.
Some of the Fund’s investments that were categorized as Level 3 may have been valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. If applicable, such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of Level 3 investments.
Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the roll-forward of Level 3 securities and assumptions are not shown for the period ended September 30, 2022.

VIRTUS OPPORTUNITIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
Note 1. Organization
Virtus Opportunities Trust (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
As of the date of this report, 26 funds of the Trust are offered for sale, of which 7 (each a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) are reported in this annual report. Each Fund’s investment objective is outlined in its respective Fund Summary page. There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its objective(s).
All of the Funds offer Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares. All of the Funds with the exception of the Seix Tax-Exempt Bond Fund offer Class R6 shares. The Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund offers Class C1 shares.
Class A shares of Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund and Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of 2.25% with some exceptions. Class A shares of the Newfleet Senior Floating Rate Fund and Seix Tax-Exempt Bond Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 2.75% with some exceptions. Class A shares of the Newfleet Core Plus Bond Fund, Newfleet High Yield Fund, and Newfleet Multi-Sector Intermediate Bond Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% with some exceptions. Generally, Class A shares are not subject to any charges by the Funds when redeemed; however, a 0.50% – 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be imposed on certain redemptions made within a certain period following purchases on which a finder’s fee has been paid. The period for which such CDSC applies for the Funds is 18 months. The CDSC period begins on the last day of the month preceding the month in which the purchase was made.
Class C shares are generally sold with a 1% CDSC (except the Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund, which are sold without a sales charge), applicable if redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares and any reinvested dividends and other distributions paid on such shares, will be automatically converted to Class A shares of the same Fund following a required holding period, which as of March 1, 2021, was eight years. Effective January 1, 2019, to February 28, 2021, with certain exceptions, Class C shares for all Funds (except the Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund) and Class C1 shares of the Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund and any reinvested dividends and other distributions paid on such shares, were automatically converted to Class A shares of the same Fund ten years after the purchase date. If an investor intends to purchase greater than $999,999 of Class C shares of Newfleet Core Plus Bond Fund, Newfleet High Yield Fund, Newfleet Multi-Sector Intermediate Bond Fund, Newfleet Senior Floating Rate Fund and Seix Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, and purchase greater than $249,999 of Class C shares of Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund, and the purchase would qualify for Class A shares with no load, then the purchase will automatically be made into a purchase of Class A shares, thus reducing expenses. Effective April 30, 2019, Class C shares of the Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders, except by existing shareholders through reinvestment transactions. Shareholders who own Class C shares of the Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund may continue to hold such shares until they convert to Class A shares under the existing conversion schedule, as described in the Fund’s prospectus, or may exchange them for Class C shares of another Virtus Mutual Fund as permitted by existing exchange privileges. All other Class C share characteristics of the Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund, including 12b-1 Plan fees, shareholder service fees, and conversion features are unchanged. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or CDSC.
Class R6 shares are offered without a minimum initial investment to the following investors in plan level or omnibus accounts only (provided that they do not require or receive any compensation, administrative payments, sub-transfer agency payments or service payments with respect to Class R6 shares): (i) qualified retirement plans, including, but not limited to, 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, and defined benefit plans; (ii) banks and trust companies; (iii) insurance companies; (iv) financial intermediaries utilizing such shares in fee-based investment advisory programs; (v) registered investment companies; and (vi) non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Other institutional investors may be permitted to purchase Class R6 shares subject to the applicable Fund’s determination of eligibility and may be subject to a $2,500,000 minimum initial investment requirement. In addition, without a minimum initial investment requirement, Class R6 shares are available to any Trustee of the Virtus Funds and trustees/directors of affiliated open- and closed-end funds, directors, officers and employees of Virtus and its affiliates, and a spouse or domestic partner, child or minor grandchild of any such qualifying individual (in each case either individually or jointly with other investors), provided in each case that those shares are held directly with the Transfer Agent or in an eligible account. Class R6 shares do not carry sales commissions or pay Rule 12b-1 fees. No compensation, administrative payments, sub-transfer agency payments or service payments are paid to brokers or other entities from Fund assets or the Funds’ distributor’s or an affiliate’s resources on sales of or investments in Class R6 shares.
The Funds may impose an annual fee on accounts having balances of less than $2,500. The small account fee may be waived in certain circumstances, as disclosed in the prospectuses and/or statement of additional information. The fees collected will be used to offset certain expenses of the Funds. These fees are reflected as “Less low balance account fees” in each Fund’s Statement of Operations for the period, as applicable.
Each class of shares has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that each class bears any expenses attributable specifically to that class (“class-specific expenses”) and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any Rule 12b-1 and/or shareholder service plan (“12b-1 Plan”) approved by the Board. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are not subject to a 12b-1 Plan. Class-specific expenses may include shareholder servicing fees, sub-transfer agency fees, and fees under a 12b-1 Plan, as well as certain other expenses as designated by the Funds’ Treasurer and approved by the Board. Investment income, common operating expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of each Fund are borne pro-rata by the holders of each class of shares.

consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.
A. Security Valuation
  Each Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period.
   • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities).
     •    Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
     •    Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A description of the valuation techniques applied to a Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Illiquid, restricted equity securities and illiquid private placements are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, and are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Funds fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
Debt instruments, including convertible bonds, and restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, activity of the underlying equities, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt instruments that are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Listed derivatives, such as options, that are actively traded are valued at the last posted settlement price from the exchange where they are principally traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts and equity-linked instruments, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
  Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value a Fund’s net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Fund. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income
  Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recognized on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt instruments are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
  Dividend income from REITs is recorded using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in distributions received from such investments based on historical information and other industry sources. The return of capital portion of the estimate is a reduction to investment income and a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed their cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

C. Income Taxes
  Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is the intention of each Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
  Certain Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
  Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Each Fund’s U.S. federal income tax return is generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after it is filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction.
D. Distributions to Shareholders
  Distributions are recorded by each Fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
E. Expenses
  Expenses incurred together by a Fund and other affiliated mutual funds are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each such fund, except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund and other fund, or an alternative allocation method, can be more appropriately used.
  In addition to the net annual operating expenses that a Fund bears directly, the shareholders of a Fund indirectly bear the pro-rata expenses of any underlying mutual funds in which the Fund invests.
F. Foreign Currency Transactions
  Non-U.S. investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the foreign currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period. Cost of investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at the trade date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the trade and settlement date of a portfolio transaction is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the date income is accrued and the date it is paid is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. For fixed income securities, the Funds bifurcate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. For equity securities, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
G. Payment-In-Kind Securities
  Certain Funds may invest in payment-in-kind securities, which are debt or preferred stock securities that require or permit payment of interest in the form of additional securities. Payment-in-kind securities allow the issuer to avoid or delay the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments and, as a result, may involve greater risk than securities that pay interest currently or in cash.
  H. When-issued Purchases and Forward Commitments (Delayed Delivery)
  Certain Funds may engage in when-issued or forward commitment transactions. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are also known as delayed delivery transactions. Delayed delivery transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell a security at a future date (ordinarily up to 90 days later). When-issued or forward commitments enable the Funds to lock in what is believed to be an attractive price or yield on a particular security for a period of time, regardless of future changes in interest rates. Each Fund records when-issued and forward commitment securities on the trade date. Each Fund maintains collateral for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis begin earning interest on the settlement date.
I. Interest-Only and Principal-Only Securities
  Certain Funds may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities represent a participation in, or are secured by, or payable from, mortgage loans on real property, and may be structured in classes with rights to receive varying proportions of principal and interest. Stripped mortgage-backed securities include interest-only securities (IOs) which receive all of the interest, and principal-only securities (POs) which receive all of the principal. The market value of these securities is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rapid (slow) rate of principal payments may have an adverse (positive) effect on yield to maturity. Payments received for IOs are included in interest income. Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the book value of the security on a daily basis until maturity and these adjustments are also included in interest income. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. Any paydown gains or losses associated with the payments received are included in interest income. If the underlying mortgage assets are greater than anticipated payments of principal, a Fund may fail to recoup some or all of its initial investment in these securities.
J. Leveraged Loans
  Certain Funds may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. Leveraged loans are generally non-investment grade and often involve borrowers that are highly leveraged. The Funds may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Leveraged loans are typically senior in the corporate capital

  structure of the borrower. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the leveraged loan. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When investing in loan participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan participation and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the leveraged loan with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the leveraged loan. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.
  A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Leveraged loans may involve foreign borrowers and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Direct indebtedness of emerging countries involves a risk that the government entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay the principal and interest when due.
  The leveraged loans have floating rate loan interests which generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally LIBOR, SOFR, the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. When a leveraged loan is purchased a Fund may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, a Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a leveraged loan. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a leveraged loan by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid.
  A Fund may invest in both secured loans and “covenant lite” loans which have few or no financial maintenance covenants that would require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics. The lack of financial maintenance covenants in covenant lite loans increases the risk that the applicable Fund will experience difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of such loans, which may result in losses, especially during a downturn in the credit cycle.
K. Securities Lending
  The Funds may loan securities to qualified brokers through a securities lending agency agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”). Under the securities lending policy, when lending securities a Fund is required to maintain collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan bringing the collateral market value in line with the required percent. Due to timing of collateral adjustments, the market value of collateral held with respect to a loaned security, may be more or less than the value of the security on loan.
  Collateral may consist of cash and securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies. Cash collateral is invested in a short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the broker are recorded as income by the Fund net of fees and rebates charged/paid by BNYM for its services as securities lending agent and in connection with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the declining value of the collateral.
  Securities lending transactions are entered into by each Fund under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (“MSLA”) which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.
  At September 30, 2022, the securities loaned were subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis as follows:

Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price.
  Cross trades for the period ended September 30, 2022, were executed by certain Funds pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board designed to ensure compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds, or between a fund and another entity, that are or could be considered affiliates by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common directors/ trustees and/or common officers.

Note 7. Credit and Market Risk and Asset Concentration
Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s) to invest each Fund’s assets as intended.
In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced the intention to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. However, after subsequent announcements by the FCA, the LIBOR administrator and other regulators, certain of the most widely used LIBORs are expected to continue until June 30, 2023. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, which is regulated and authorized by FCA, and the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publishing certain LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021. The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets and may present a material risk for certain market participants, including the Funds. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could lead to significant short- and long-term uncertainty and market instability. The risks associated with this discontinuation and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. It remains uncertain the effects such changes will have on the Funds, issuers of instruments in which the Funds invest, and the financial markets generally.
In countries with limited or developing markets, investments may present greater risks than in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of these investments and the income they generate, as well as a Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.
High-yield/high-risk securities typically entail greater price volatility and/or principal and interest rate risk. There is a greater chance that an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments on time. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high-yield/high-risk securities may be complex, and as a result, it may be more difficult for the Adviser and/or subadviser to accurately predict risk.
Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that the market may fluctuate for other reasons, and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. Insured securities have been identified in the Schedule of Investments. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in the Funds.
Certain Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in the pursuit of their investment objectives. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on a Fund, positive or negative, than if the Fund did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.
Note 8.  Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and in separate agreements between each Trustee and the Trust, its Trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and its funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust and the Funds enter into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s and/or the Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust or the Funds and that have not occurred. However, neither the Trust nor the Funds have had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements, and they expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 9. Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category. Each Fund will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities. At September 30, 2022, the Funds did not hold any securities that were restricted.

Note 10. Redemption Facility
($ reported in thousands)
On September 18, 2017, the Funds (with the exception of the Newfleet Senior Floating Rate Fund) and certain other affiliated funds entered into an $150,000 unsecured line of credit (“Credit Agreement”). On June 14, 2021, the Credit Agreement was increased to $250,000. This Credit Agreement, as amended, is with a commercial bank that allows the Funds to borrow cash from the bank to manage large unexpected redemptions and trade fails, up to a limit of one-third or one-fifth, as applicable, of each Fund’s total net assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This Credit Agreement has a term of 364 days and has been renewed for a period up to March 9, 2023. Interest is charged at the higher of the LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed. Commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance. Total commitment fees paid for the period ended September 30, 2022, are included in the “Interest expense and/or commitment fees” line on the Statements of Operations. The Funds and other affiliated funds that are parties are individually, and not jointly, liable for their particular advances, if any, under the Credit Agreement. The lending bank has the ability to require repayment of outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement upon certain circumstances such as an event of default.
The following Funds had an outstanding loan during the period. The borrowings were valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Note 11. Borrowings
($ reported in thousands)
On May 6, 2020, the Newfleet Senior Floating Rate Fund amended its Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a commercial bank (the “Bank”) that allows the Fund to borrow cash from the Bank, up to a limit of $70,000. Borrowings under the Agreement are collateralized by investments of the Fund. The Agreement results in the Fund being subject to certain covenants including asset coverage and portfolio composition (among others). If the Fund fails to meet or maintain certain covenants as required under the Agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the Agreement, necessitating the sale of securities at potentially inopportune times. Interest is charged at LIBOR plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed. Commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance, if less than 75% of the Commitment Amount is outstanding as a loan to the Fund. Total commitment fees paid for the period ended September 30, 2022, were $172 and are included in the “Interest expense and/or commitment fees” line on the Statements of Operations. The Agreement has a term that extends until the 179th day after the date that the lender delivers a “notice of termination” to the Fund. The Bank has the ability to require repayment of outstanding borrowings under the Agreement upon certain circumstances such as an event of default. For the period ended September 30, 2022, the average daily borrowings under the Agreement and the weighted daily average interest rate were $2,148 and 1.00%, respectively. At September 30, 2022, the Fund had no outstanding borrowings.

The differences between the book and tax basis of distributable earnings relate principally to the timing of recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes. Short-term gain distributions, if any, are reported as ordinary income for federal tax purposes. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was as follows:

Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. Permanent reclassifications can arise from differing treatment of certain income and gain transactions and nondeductible current year net operating losses. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.

investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting their activities. At this time, the Adviser believes that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually or in aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.
Note 14. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered reference rates as of the end of 2021. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating ASU 2020-04, but does not believe there will be a material impact.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Virtus Opportunities Trust and Shareholders of Virtus Newfleet Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet High Yield Fund, Virtus Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Intermediate Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Senior Floating Rate Fund and Virtus Seix Tax-Exempt Bond Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Virtus Newfleet Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet High Yield Fund, Virtus Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Intermediate Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Senior Floating Rate Fund and Virtus Seix Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (seven of the Funds constituting Virtus Opportunities Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2022, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents, agent banks and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (UNAUDITED)
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Fund would not be able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Program is overseen by the Adviser as the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Program Administrator (the “Program Administrator”), and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Funds. Assessment and management of a Fund’s liquidity risk under the Program take into consideration certain factors, such as the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, its short- and long-term cash-flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, and its cash and cash-equivalent holdings and access to other funding sources. As required by the rule, the Program includes policies and procedures for classification of Fund portfolio holdings in four liquidity categories, maintaining certain levels of highly liquid investments, and limiting holdings of illiquid investments.
At a meeting of the Board held on May 23-25, 2022, the Board received a report from the Program Administrator addressing the operation and management of the Program for calendar year 2021 (the “Review Period”). The Program Administrator’s report noted that for the Review Period, the Program Administrator believed that the Program was implemented and operated effectively in all material respects and that existing procedures, controls and safeguards were appropriately designed to enable the Program Administrator to administer the Program in compliance with Rule 22e-4. The Program Administrator’s report noted that during the Review Period, there were no events that created liquidity related concerns for the Funds. The Program Administrator’s report further noted that while changes to the Program had been made during the Review Period and reported to the Board, no material changes were made to the Program as a result of the Program Administrator’s annual review.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to a Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in that Fund may be subject.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INVESTORS
Effective July 1, 2022, each of Newfleet Asset Management, LLC (“Newfleet”) and Stone Harbor Investment Partners, LLC (“Stone Harbor”) has merged with and into Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix”), and the surviving entity has been renamed Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC (“VFIA”). The portfolio management teams of Newfleet, Stone Harbor and Seix continue to operate independently of one another as separate divisions of VFIA. Prior to the merger, each of Newfleet, Stone Harbor and Seix was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (“Virtus”), and since the merger VFIA remains a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Virtus.
The merger did not constitute a change in control of Newfleet, Stone Harbor or Seix that would result in the termination of the subadvisory agreements of any funds managed by those entities. Therefore, pursuant to approval by the Board of Trustees of Virtus Opportunities Trust, the subadvisory agreements pertaining to the Funds have been transferred to, and assumed by, VFIA effective July 1, 2022.
All references in the Funds’ Prospectuses and SAI to Newfleet as subadviser to the Funds are hereby changed to, “Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC, an affiliate of VIA, operating through its division Newfleet Asset Management.”
All references in the Funds’ Prospectuses to Newfleet as the employer of the Funds’ portfolio management teams for the period beginning on July 1, 2022, are hereby changed to refer to “Newfleet Asset Management, a division of Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC.” (References to Newfleet for periods of time prior to July 1, 2022, are unchanged.)
The following disclosure regarding VFIA replaces the disclosure regarding Newfleet in the section “Subadvisers” beginning on page 142 of the Funds’ Statutory Prospectus and replaces the first paragraph of the disclosure regarding Newfleet in the section “Subadvisers and Subadvisory Agreements” beginning on page 98 of the SAI:
“Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC, an affiliate of VIA, is located at One Financial Plaza, Hartford, CT 06103. VFIA operates through its divisions, Newfleet Asset Management (‘Newfleet’) and Seix Investment Advisors (‘Seix’) in subadvising funds described herein. As of May 31, 2022, the three advisers that merged into VFIA on July 1, 2022 had approximately $37.1 billion in aggregate assets under management.
The Newfleet division of VFIA acts as subadviser to mutual funds and as adviser to institutions and individuals. As of May 31, 2022, the Newfleet division of VFIA had approximately $8.9 billion in assets under management. Newfleet Asset Management, LLC, which merged with and into VFIA on July 1, 2022, and the former portfolio management team of which now operates as the Newfleet division of VFIA, had been an investment adviser since 1989.
The Seix division of VFIA is a fundamental, credit driven fixed income boutique specializing in investment grade and high yield bond and leveraged loan management. Seix has employed its bottom-up, research-oriented approach to fixed income management for over 20 years. The entity that is now VFIA, and the former portfolio management team of which now operates as the Seix division of VFIA, was established in 2008. Its predecessor, Seix Investment Advisors, Inc., was founded in 1992 and was independently owned until 2004 when the firm joined the entity now known as Virtus Fund Advisers, LLC, as the institutional fixed income management division. As of May 31, 2022, the Seix division of VFIA had approximately $15.9 billion in assets under management.”

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INVESTORS
Effective July 1, 2022, each of Newfleet Asset Management, LLC (“Newfleet”) and Stone Harbor Investment Partners, LLC (“Stone Harbor”) has merged with and into Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix”), and the surviving entity has been renamed Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC (“VFIA”). The portfolio management teams of Newfleet, Stone Harbor and Seix continue to operate independently of one another as separate divisions of VFIA; however, the portfolio management team that previously represented Newfleet in managing the Fund will operate within the Seix Investment Advisors division going forward. Prior to the merger, each of Newfleet, Stone Harbor and Seix was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (“Virtus”), and since the merger VFIA remains a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Virtus.
The merger did not constitute a change in control of Newfleet that would result in the termination of the subadvisory agreement pertaining to the Fund. Therefore, pursuant to approval by the Board of Trustees of Virtus Opportunities Trust (the “Board”), the subadvisory agreement pertaining to the Fund has been transferred to, and assumed by, VFIA effective July 1, 2022.
As a result of the decision for the portfolio management team of the Fund to operate out of the Seix Investment Advisors division of VFIA, the Board has approved a change in the Fund’s name to “Virtus Seix Tax-Exempt Bond Fund.” All references in the Fund’s Prospectuses and SAI to its prior name therefore are hereby removed and replaced with the Fund’s new name.
All references in the Fund’s Prospectuses and SAI to Newfleet as subadviser to the Fund are hereby changed to refer to “Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC, an affiliate of VIA, operating through its division Seix Investment Advisors.”
All references in the Fund’s Prospectuses to Seix as an employer of the Fund’s portfolio managers for the period beginning on July 1, 2022, are hereby changed to refer to “Seix Investment Advisors, a division of Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC” and references to Newfleet as an employer of the Fund’s portfolio managers are deleted.

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS
To Virtus Opportunities Trust Shareholders:
I am pleased to present this annual report, which reviews the performance of your Fund for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022.
During the reporting period, market strength in 2021 was followed by volatility in the first nine months of 2022. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and other central banks raised interest rates and tightened monetary policy in an effort to fight rising inflation. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February created geopolitical uncertainty and contributed to rising prices, particularly for energy and food.
Domestic equity indexes recorded declines for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022. U.S. large-capitalization stocks were down 15.47%, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, and small-cap stocks lost 23.50%, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. Losses were also felt across international equities, with developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), declining 25.13%, while emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), were down 28.11%.
In fixed income markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose sharply to 3.83% on September 30, 2022, from 1.52% on September 30, 2021, as the Fed implemented several large interest rate hikes. The broader U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was down 14.60% for the 12-month period, while non-investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, lost 14.14%.
While market volatility can be challenging, staying focused on your long-term goals can help. Please call our customer service team at 800-243-1574 if you have questions about your account or require assistance. Thank you for your continued confidence in us.
Sincerely,
George R. Aylward
President, Virtus Opportunities Trust

VIRTUS OPPORTUNITIES TRUST
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD OF April 1, 2022 TO September 30, 2022
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Virtus Opportunities Trust Fund discussed in this shareholder report (each, a “Fund”), you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases of Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges on Class C shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and service fees, and other expenses. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are sold without sales charges and do not incur distribution and service fees. Class R6 shares also do not incur shareholder servicing fees. For further information regarding applicable sales charges, see Note 1 in the Notes to Financial Statements. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period. The Annualized Expense Ratios may be different from the expense ratios in the Financial Highlights which are for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the accompanying tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

* Expenses are equal to the relevant Fund’s annualized expense ratio, which is net of waived fees and reimbursed expenses, if applicable, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (183) expenses were accrued in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365 to reflect the one-half year period.
For Funds which may invest in other funds, the annualized expense ratios noted above do not reflect fees and expenses associated with any underlying funds. If such fees and expenses had been included, the expenses would have been higher.
You can find more information about a Fund’s expenses in the Financial Statements section that follows. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, refer to that Fund’s prospectus.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

The Global Infrastructure Linked Benchmark consists of the FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure 50/50 Index (net), a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that gives participants an industry-defined interpretation of developed market infrastructure companies and adjusts the exposure to certain infrastructure subsectors. The constituent weights are 50% utilities, 30% transportation (including capping 7.5% for railroads/railways), and a 20% mix of other sectors including pipelines, satellites, and telecommunication towers. The index is calculated on a total return basis with net dividends reinvested. The index is unmanaged, its returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges, and it is not available for direct investment. Performance of the Global Infrastructure Linked Benchmark between 9/1/2008 and 9/30/2016 represents a 100% allocation to the MSCI World Infrastructure Sector Capped Index. Prior to 9/1/2008 the allocation consisted of 65% MSCI USA Utilities Index, 20% MSCI World Telecom Services Index, and 15% MSCI All Country World ex USA Utilities Index.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
Global equity markets declined 19.63%, as measured by the MSCI World Index (net) for the 12-month period. Investor sentiment grew increasingly downbeat over the course of the year on concerns that rising global inflation, ongoing supply chain problems, and the war in Ukraine are tipping the world into recession. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) made it clear that rate hikes would continue as part of the effort to tame inflation. Investors’ new expectation of higher interest rates for a longer time frame has weighed on nearly every sector in the market.
The Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure 50/50 Index (net), posted a loss of 7.11% for the 12-month period, significantly outperforming the broader global equity markets, as
measured by the MSCI World Index (net). Midstream energy was the only infrastructure sector to post a positive return for the period, while communications and transportation lagged considerably. Utilities declined, but significantly less than the benchmark.
The energy infrastructure sector was the best performer, driven higher by a sharp increase in energy prices. Prices were boosted by supply shortages that worsened due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The utility sector declined modestly, with performance varying by region. Many European and Asian utilities performed poorly as investors grew concerned about the fallout from higher commodity prices and the uncertainty of energy supply. Conversely, U.S. electric and gas utilities showed resilience in the face of market volatility. Transportation stocks performed poorly on the back of economic concerns and short-term operational issues. European airports struggled to accommodate a sharp rebound in air passengers and were challenged by a shortage of labor as summer leisure travel returned in force. North American freight railroads suffered their own labor shortage, resulting in poor service levels to customers as the supply chain continued to unclog. Communications was the worst performing sector for the year. While fundamental business conditions for wireless towers remained quite positive, higher interest rates and the decline in the equity market took a toll on the tower stocks.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund performed in line with its benchmark for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Performance was due primarily to sector allocation, driven by the Fund’s overweight to energy infrastructure and underweight to transportation. An overweight in communications and underweight in utilities negatively impacted allocation. Favorable stock selection in the energy infrastructure sector was mostly offset by negative selection in communications, transportation, and utilities.
Focusing on the security-level impacts, the two largest positive contributors to relative performance were Cheniere Energy and Sempra Energy. Cheniere is an industry-leading producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), while Sempra Energy operates regulated utilities in California and Texas and produces LNG. Both stocks outperformed as favorable
supply/demand conditions caused LNG prices to be notably higher in 2022 compared with recent years. As Europe looked to wean itself from Russian natural gas during the period, U.S.-sourced LNG saw strong demand. Other top contributors to relative performance were an overweight position in CenterPoint Energy, the Fund’s lack of exposure to Fraport AG, and an underweight position in TC Energy Corp.
The two largest detractors from relative performance were out-of-benchmark holdings Enel SpA and Orsted A/S, Europe-based utilities that were impacted by higher energy prices. Enel’s operating results were in-line, but various utility industry and macroeconomic factors plagued the stock. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing high energy commodity prices, governments were looking for ways to limit the impact to consumers. Given Italy’s reliance on imported energy, utilities like Enel faced delays in recovering energy costs that forced it to absorb liabilities on its balance sheet. Political uncertainty in Italy drove the country’s sovereign bond yields higher relative to other European Union countries. Orsted’s results suffered from lower wind speeds and booked accounting losses as the company over-hedged power when wholesale prices spiked. This over-hedging caused the company to post collateral until the hedges unwind. Concerns over increasing competition also contributed to the stock’s underperformance. Rounding out the other top detractors from relative performance were the Fund’s overweight position in Cellnex Telecom and underweight positions in Atlantia SPA and Atlas Arteria.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
Over the course of the fiscal year, global central banks made catch-up efforts to fight inflation, which led to bear markets in both the broader equity markets and global listed real estate. The MSCI All Country World Index (net) delivered a -20.66% return and the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index (net) had a -22.77% return. The positive returns in the first fiscal quarter for both indexes were more than offset by three consecutive negative quarters, as aggressive moves by the central banks accelerated.
To tamp down on surging inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) initially made interest rate increases in 2022 of 0.25% and 0.50%, followed by three successive hikes of 0.75% in June, July, and September, raising the policy rate to a range of 3.00%–3.25%. Other central banks throughout Europe, Asia-Pacific ex-Japan, and the Americas also announced substantial rate hikes, with the Bank of Japan a notable exception. Collectively, the frequency and magnitude of the central bank increases showed how far behind they were with respect to removing quantitative easing, starting interest rate increases, and beginning quantitative tightening. Their lateness and resulting catch-up efforts raised concerns of a hard landing for the global economy.
The collective effort by the central banks reached a crescendo in September of 2022, as demonstrated by chronological rate increases over the month, including by the Reserve Bank of Australia (0.50%), the Bank of Canada (0.75%), the European Central Bank (0.75%), the Fed (0.75%), the Riksbank (0.50%), the Swiss National Bank (0.75%), the Bank of England (0.50%), and numerous others. Throughout Europe, countries announced fiscal policies designed to mitigate the impact of soaring energy costs, which began as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Little did the Bank of England (BoE) realize that the volatility in rates and bonds was just beginning, as its new prime minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer were about to announce the most robust fiscal policy of them all. The market’s response was visceral, leading to a material decline in the price of U.K. government bonds, which in turn drove interest rates materially higher. By month’s end, the BoE had to step in, intervene aggressively, and stabilize its bond market. All of this activity lifted the U.S. dollar even further versus other currencies and put material pressure on worldwide equities and global listed real estate.
Taking a closer look at the performance of the individual countries that are represented within the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index, all countries delivered negative returns. During the fiscal year, prior laggards became the leaders only by declining less. The five top-performing countries for the fiscal year, on a total return basis and measured in U.S. dollars, were Ireland due to a privatization of one of two companies, Hong Kong, Singapore, Austria, and the U.S. From a property sector perspective, most sectors also delivered negative returns. However, specialty and self-storage delivered slightly positive performance and were the best performers.
The five bottom-performing countries for the fiscal year were Germany, Norway, Sweden, the U.K., and Belgium. The energy crisis that ensued in Europe following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine added pressure on European equity markets and listed real estate. From a property sector perspective, industrial/office mixed and office lagged the most.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund lagged its benchmark for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022. Security selection contributed positively, yet was more than offset by country allocation.
Combining country allocation and security selection, the top positive relative contributors to performance for the fiscal year were the U.S. and Australia, with security selection the key driver for both, the Netherlands due to an underweight allocation, France due to security selection, and New Zealand due to an underweight allocation.
From a country allocation perspective, the underweight to the Netherlands and overweight to Ireland were the largest contributors during the fiscal year.
At the security level, the Fund’s exposure to CyrusOne, a U.S. data center real estate investment trust (REIT), was the largest positive contributor on an absolute basis as the shares outperformed following an acquisition announcement by a consortium led by KKR & Co. The Fund’s exposures to Healthcare Realty, a U.S. healthcare REIT, and Kungsleden, a Swedish real estate company, were the next largest positive contributors. Both companies were also involved in mergers and acquisitions during the period, and outperformed the benchmark on a relative basis.
Combining country allocation and security selection, the top detractors were Hong Kong due to an underweight allocation and security selection, the U.K. due to security selection and an overweight allocation, Singapore due to an underweight allocation and security selection, Germany due to an overweight allocation and security selection, and Japan due to security selection and an underweight allocation.
From a country allocation viewpoint, the underweight exposures to Hong Kong and Singapore were the largest detractors for the fiscal year.
At the security level, the Fund’s exposure to Vonovia, a German residential real estate company, was the largest negative contributor on an absolute basis. Shares of the company performed poorly due to the rising interest rate environment and concerns about the position of the company’s balance sheet. The Fund’s exposures to U.S. industrial REIT Prologis and U.S. data center REIT Equinix were the next largest detractors from performance.

Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
Over the course of the fiscal year, international central banks made catch-up efforts to fight inflation, which led to bear markets in both the broader equity markets and global listed real estate. The MSCI EAFE® Index (net) delivered a -25.13% return and the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed ex-US Index (net) had a -30.03% return. The positive returns in the first fiscal quarter for both indexes were more than offset by three consecutive negative quarters, as aggressive moves by the central banks accelerated.
To tamp down on surging inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) initially made interest rate increases in 2022 of 0.25% and 0.50%, followed by three successive hikes of 0.75% in June, July, and September, raising the policy rate to a range of 3.00%–3.25%.

Taking a closer look at the performance of the individual countries that are represented within the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed ex-US Index, all countries delivered negative returns. During the fiscal year, prior laggards became the leaders only by declining less. The five top-performing countries for the fiscal year, on a total return basis and measured in U.S. dollars, were Ireland due to a privatization of one of two companies, Hong Kong, Singapore, Austria, and Switzerland. From a property sector perspective, every sector also delivered negative returns. However, the lodging and retail property sectors delivered the best relative performance.
The five bottom-performing countries for the fiscal year were Germany, Norway, Sweden, the U.K., and Belgium. The energy crisis that ensued in Europe following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine added pressure on European equity markets and listed real estate. From a property sector perspective, residential and industrial lagged the most.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund lagged its benchmark for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022. Country allocation was the primary detractor from relative performance for the period.
Combining country allocation and security selection, the top positive relative contributors to performance for the fiscal year were France and Australia – with security selection the key driver for both – Sweden due to an underweight allocation and security selection, Spain due to security selection, and Canada due to a slight overweight allocation and security selection.
From a country allocation perspective, the overweight to Ireland and underweight to Sweden were the largest contributors during the fiscal year.
At the security level on an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to Kungsleden, a Swedish real estate company was the largest positive contributor to performance. The next two largest positive contributors to performance were the Fund’s exposures to Summit Industrial Income, a Canadian industrial real estate investment trust (REIT) and Hysan Development, a Hong Kong real estate company.
Combining country allocation and security selection, the top detractors were China due to an overweight allocation, Singapore due to an underweight allocation and security selection, Hong Kong due to security selection and an underweight allocation, the U.K. due to security selection and an overweight allocation, and Germany due to an overweight allocation and security selection.
From a country allocation viewpoint, the overweight exposure to China and underweight exposure to Singapore were the largest detractors for the fiscal year.
At the security level on an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to Vonovia, a German residential real estate company, was the largest negative contributor. Shares of the company performed poorly due to the rising interest rate environment and concerns about the position of the company’s balance sheet. The Fund’s exposures to German real estate company Aroundtown and U.K. office REIT Workspace Group were the next largest detractors from performance.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
After a strong first fiscal quarter, markets sold off sharply for the rest of the fiscal year. Rapidly rising inflation forced global central banks to raise interest rates, which significantly increased bond yields – the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond went from 1.49% to 3.83%. Rising rates also drove down valuation multiples, which means that, while corporate earnings remained strong, poor investor sentiment weighed on the prices that investors were willing to pay for many stocks. The Russia-Ukraine war combined with China’s zero-Covid policy further exacerbated the problems and negatively impacted global economic growth. While the market managed some strong bounces in March, May, and July of 2022, it fell back lower each time as inflation stayed high and central banks led by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) remained resolute in their determination to control it. For the fiscal year, the MSCI AC World Index (net) fell 20.66%.
Real assets significantly outperformed the broader market during the fiscal year. Real asset performance tends to be correlated with inflation, and thus the existing environment proved to be constructive for the sector. Rising inflation through most of the first nine months of 2022 drove the sector meaningfully higher. However, when the market’s biggest fear seemingly shifted from inflation to a potential global recession, commodity prices fell dramatically and real asset performance deteriorated. Oil prices provide a good lens into what happened. The price of oil, as measured by West Texas Intermediate Crude (WTI), began the fiscal year at $75.03. It went to $122.11 on June 12 before falling all the way back to $79.49 at the end of the fiscal year. Despite the volatility, commodity-leveraged strategies were the best real asset performers. Real estate was the one real asset sector that significantly underperformed.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund fell 3.35% during the fiscal year, significantly outperforming the broader global market, as measured by the MSCI AC World Index (net). All of the outperformance came in the first five months of the calendar year as global markets fell and commodities surged, driven in part by the start of the Russia-Ukraine war.
For the fiscal year, real asset sectors tied to energy and other commodities were the best performers. Midstream energy stocks, as measured by the Virtus Duff & Phelps Select MLP and Energy Fund, led the way, up 24.1%, followed by broader commodities, as measured by the Invesco DB Commodity Index Fund, which were up 18.5%. The worst performing assets were real estate and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). Real estate, which fell 23.3%, as measured by the Virtus Duff & Phelps Global Real Estate Securities Fund, had significantly outperformed during the prior year, and that momentum seemed to work against the sector as it essentially traded in-line with the broader market for the whole fiscal year. While TIPS, which dropped 11.8%, as measured by the Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF, benefitted from higher inflation, this was more than offset by plunging bond prices as yields moved significantly higher.
The biggest contributors to Fund performance were midstream energy and commodities. Midstream energy contributed 2.8% as the sector benefitted from higher commodity prices and sustained capital discipline by midstream companies, which drove higher free cash flow. Broader commodities, meanwhile, contributed 1.52%, driven by higher
natural gas, oil, and gasoline prices. The next two best contributors were agricultural commodities, through the Invesco DB Agriculture Fund, and global natural resources, via the SPDR S&P Global Natural Resources Fund.
The biggest detractors from Fund returns were Virtus Duff & Phelps Global Real Estate Fund (GRE) and TIPS. GRE, the Fund’s second-largest holding, contributed -5.2%. Despite higher earnings in most sub-sectors, GRE struggled all year. Virtus Duff & Phelps Global Listed Infrastructure Fund (GLI), the Fund’s largest holding, contributed -1.4%. GLI significantly outperformed the market, falling just 6.7%, but this was still enough to drag down the overall portfolio. The next two biggest detractors were gold, via the Invesco DB Gold Fund, and TIPS.

Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
Industry/Sector Concentration: A fund that focuses its investments in a particular industry or sector will be more sensitive to conditions that affect that industry or sector than a non-concentrated fund.
Real Estate: The Fund may be negatively affected by factors specific to the real estate market, including interest rates, leverage, property, and management.
Infrastructure: A fund that focuses its investments in infrastructure-related companies will be more sensitive to conditions affecting their business or operations such as local economic and political conditions, regulatory changes, and environmental issues.
Natural Resources: Investment in natural resources industries may be significantly affected by events relating to International political and economic developments, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects commodity prices, taxes and other governmental regulations.
Credit & Interest: Debt instruments are subject to various risks, including credit and interest rate risk.
For information regarding the indexes and certain investment terms, see the Key Investment Terms starting on page 6.

Duff & Phelps Real Asset Fund (Continued)
The issuer of a debt instrument may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.
Foreign Investing: Investing in foreign securities subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
Allocation: The Fund’s exposure to different asset classes may not be optimal for market conditions at a given time. Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets.
Derivatives: Investments in derivatives such as futures, options, forwards, and swaps may increase volatility or cause a loss greater than the principal investment.
Bank Loans: Loans may be unsecured or not fully collateralized, may be subject to restrictions on resale and/or trade infrequently on the secondary market. Loans are subject to credit and call risk, may be difficult to value, and have longer settlement times than other investments, which can make loans relatively illiquid at times.
Inflation-Linked Investments: Inflation-linked investments may react differently than other fixed income securities to changes in interest rates. Generally, the value of an inflation-linked security will fall when real interest rates rise and will rise when real interest rates fall.
Master Limited Partnerships: Investments in MLPs may be adversely impacted by interest rates, tax law changes, regulation, or factors affecting underlying assets.
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF): The value of an ETF may be more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities it is designed to track. The costs to the Fund of owning shares of an ETF may exceed the cost of investing directly in the underlying securities.
Fund of Funds: Because the Fund can invest in other funds, it bears its proportionate share of the operating expenses and management fees of, and may be adversely affected by, the underlying fund(s).
Affiliated Funds: The Fund’s adviser may select and substitute affiliated and/or unaffiliated funds, which may create a conflict of interest.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the
prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
Over the course of the fiscal year, central banks made catch-up efforts to fight inflation, which led to bear markets in both the broader equity markets and global listed real estate. The S&P 500® Index delivered a -15.47% return and the FTSE Nareit Equity REITs Index had a -16.41% return. The positive returns in the first fiscal quarter for both indexes were more than offset by three consecutive negative quarters, as aggressive moves by the central banks accelerated.
To tamp down on surging inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) initially made interest rate increases in 2022 of 0.25% and 0.50%, followed by three successive hikes of 0.75% in June, July, and September, raising the policy rate to a range of 3.00%–3.25%. Other central banks throughout Europe, Asia-Pacific ex-Japan, and the Americas also announced substantial rate hikes, with the Bank of Japan a notable exception. Collectively, the frequency and magnitude of the central bank increases showed how far behind they were with respect to removing
quantitative easing, starting interest rate increases, and beginning quantitative tightening. Their lateness and resulting catch-up efforts raised concerns of a hard landing for the global economy.
The collective effort by the central banks reached a crescendo in September of 2022, as demonstrated by chronological rate increases over the month, including by the Reserve Bank of Australia (0.50%), the Bank of Canada (0.75%), the European Central Bank (0.75%), the Fed (0.75%), the Riksbank (0.50%), the Swiss National Bank (0.75%), the Bank of England (0.50%), and numerous others. Throughout Europe, countries announced fiscal policies designed to mitigate the impact of soaring energy costs, which began as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Little did the Bank of England (BoE) realize that the volatility in rates and bonds was just beginning, as its new prime minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer were about to announce the most robust fiscal policy of them all. The market’s response was visceral, leading to a material decline in the price of U.K. government bonds, which in turn drove interest rates materially higher. By month’s end, the BoE had to step in, intervene aggressively, and stabilize its bond market. All of this activity lifted the U.S. dollar even further versus other currencies and put material pressure on worldwide equities and global listed real estate.
Taking a closer look at the performance of the individual property sectors that are represented within the FTSE Nareit Equity REITs Index, the five top-performing property sectors for the fiscal year on a total return basis were self storage, specialty, freestanding, single-family homes, and industrial. All property sectors delivered negative performance during the period, except self storage, which was slightly positive.
The five bottom-performing property sectors for the fiscal year were office, regional malls, data centers, manufactured homes, and health care.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund modestly lagged its benchmark for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022. Security selection contributed to relative performance for the period, while property sector allocation detracted.
Combining property sector allocation and security selection, the strongest relative contributors to
performance for the fiscal year were industrial, lodging/resorts, data centers, shopping centers, and single family homes. Security selection was the largest driver of returns for industrial, lodging/resorts, and shopping centers. Property sector allocation was the largest driver for data centers, while security selection also helped, and sector allocation was the largest contributing factor for single family homes.
From a property sector allocation perspective, the largest contributor was the Fund’s overweight to self storage. The second-largest sector allocation contributor was the underweight exposure to data centers.
From a security perspective on an absolute basis, the Fund’s overweight position to industrial real estate investment trust (REIT) Duke Realty was the largest positive contributor. The company’s shares materially outperformed the benchmark following a merger proposal from its larger competitor, Prologis, in June 2022. The next two largest positive contributors, data center REIT CyrusOne and healthcare REIT Healthcare Realty, were also companies that were involved in mergers and acquisitions, and outperformed the benchmark on a relative basis.
Combining property sector allocation and security selection, the largest relative detractors from performance were freestanding, specialty, manufactured homes, self storage, and regional malls. The Fund’s relative performance in freestanding was impacted by security selection and an underweight allocation, while specialty was driven by an underweight allocation. The relative performance of manufactured homes was due to security selection and an overweight allocation. For self storage, the Fund benefited from an overweight allocation, but that was more than offset by negative security selection. In regional malls, the benefit from the Fund’s marginal overweight exposure was offset by a small security selection detraction.
The largest property sector allocation detractors were underweight exposures to freestanding and specialty.
At the security level on an absolute basis, the Fund’s overweight exposure to data center REIT Equinix was the largest negative contributor. Data center REITs were one of the weaker performing property sectors

during the period due to the significant rise in interest rates. The Fund’s overweight exposures to industrial REIT Prologis and manufactured homes REIT Sun Communities were the next largest detractors.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
Starting in the fourth quarter of 2021 and accelerating in the first quarter of 2022, global markets reacted to inflation and increased uncertainty by displaying higher volatility. At the start of 2022, inflation reached 40-year highs, propelling commodities and bond yields higher, and equities lower. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February amplified many of these market moves. In March, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) commenced an interest rate hiking cycle. Markets witnessed an inversion of the yield curve, with yields on the 10-year Treasury dropping below yields on the 2-year Treasury, as well as the worst quarterly performance for 10-year U.S. Treasury notes since 1999.
Global equities experienced a difficult second quarter of 2022, with the MSCI World Index (net) declining by 16.1% for the quarter as inflationary fears continued to dominate markets and investors started to price in an increased risk of recession.
Global equities registered negative returns in the third quarter of 2022, despite July representing the best month for global equities since November 2020, as central banks reaffirmed their commitment to fighting inflation, dashing hopes that the end of rate hikes was in sight. Bond markets also posted steep losses, extending their historic year-to-date declines. As the Fed continued to raise rates, yields across the Treasury curve rose. Amid the Fed’s rate hikes and growing fears of a global recession, the U.S. dollar rose rapidly to multi-decade highs against other major currencies. Commodities fell sharply during the third quarter, with losses driven by the energy and metals sectors.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund delivered a net return of -3.25%. The largest detractor from performance was equities, which returned -9.3% on a gross basis for the period, mostly driven by positions in North America. Positions in interest rates, commodities, currencies, and bonds contributed positively for the year. Interest rates were the largest contributor to performance, adding 3.2%, followed by commodities, which added 2.4%. Positions in currencies added 1.4%, and bonds added 0.3%.
Within the Fund, bonds spent most of 2022 in short positions, with varying exposures throughout the year. The Fund maintained long positions in equities for most of the period, flipping short toward the last half of September. Commodities had mixed exposure and positioning, while the Fund remained long the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies throughout the year. Rates were short for almost the entirety of the period.
After years of difficult performance, the Société Generale Trend Indicator, which is a single model market-based performance indicator designed to have a high and stable correlation to trend-following commodity trading advisor (CTA) strategies, returned 54.8% for the first nine months of 2022. The SG CTA Index returned 26.1% for the same period, illustrating that simple trend-following approaches outperformed the peer group of strategies which generally use multi-model approaches.
FORT’s programs have an adaptive feature that systematically shifts risks and exposures between
markets, models, and time horizons based on the prevailing environment. After significant research and testing, FORT implemented updates to the Fund’s investment strategies toward the end of the second quarter of 2022. The enhancements implemented to the portfolio construction process are designed to allow the Fund to react more quickly to market movements.
Since implementing these changes, in the third quarter, the Fund returned 5.02% net of fees and the SG CTA Index returned 4.1%. The Fund ended the fiscal year with short positions in equities, bonds, and interest rates across regions. The Fund grew its long position in the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies. In commodities, the Fund was short in energy, metals, and agricultural commodities.
The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee that market forecasts will be realized.
Quantitative Model: Investments selected using quantitative models may perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance. There can be no assurance that use of a quantitative model will enable the Fund to achieve positive returns or outperform the market.
Derivatives: Investments in derivatives such as futures, options, forwards, and swaps may increase volatility or cause a loss greater than the principal investment.
Commodity and Commodity-Linked Instruments: Commodity and commodity-linked instruments may experience a return different than the commodity they attempt to track and may also be exposed to counterparty risk.
Interest Rate: The values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced for securities with longer maturities.
Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased

volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
Leverage: When a fund leverages its portfolio by certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, the Fund may liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, and its value more volatile.
Short Sales: The Fund may engage in short sales, and may incur a loss if the price of a borrowed security increases before the date on which the fund replaces the security.
Portfolio Turnover: The Fund’s principal investment strategies may result in a consistently high portfolio
turnover rate. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including
hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
After strong performance in 2021, markets became volatile in 2022, with both equities and fixed income entering bear markets. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) began tapering its bond purchases in October 2021, after providing support to the fixed income markets during the pandemic. And, while the inflation that spiked after massive pandemic spending, supply chain bottlenecks, and COVID lockdowns at first appeared transitory, inflation quickly escalated in the second quarter of 2022 and became a major risk to the economy. The Russian invasion of Ukraine also fueled inflation and once again pressured fragile supply chains.
The Fed raised interest rates five times during the fiscal year in an effort to tame record-high inflation. To make matters more challenging, robust employment became an obstacle in slowing spending, with the Fed saying it could make additional rate increases to attempt to bring down
inflation. Investor pessimism and market sentiment soured to new lows for the duration of the fiscal year.
On the international front, China’s enforcement of its zero-COVID policy forced continued lockdowns, which rattled important supply chains. In addition, China’s significant regulatory crackdowns destroyed certain industries and gave investors pause to invest elsewhere in the country. Tensions with Taiwan also presented new risks due to global semiconductor dependence.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the S&P 500® Index declined 15.47%, while small-capitalization stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000® Index, were down 23.50%. International developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), lost 25.13%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) declined 28.11% for the period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) for fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Poor stock selection in industrials as well as poor stock selection and an underweight in financials detracted from performance. Positive stock selection and an overweight in consumer discretionary as well as an overweight in consumer staples contributed to performance.
From a country perspective, an overweight in Russia as well as poor stock selection and an underweight in India detracted from performance. Positive stock selection and an overweight in Brazil as well as positive stock selection and an underweight in China contributed to performance.
The biggest contributors to performance during the period were Vasta Platform, Tegma Gestao Logistica, PT Bank Central Asia, Anhui Gujing Distillery, and Wal-Mart de Mexico.
The biggest detractors from performance during the period were HeadHunter, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Grupa Pracuj, Sberbank Russia, and Yandex.

change at any time based upon market or other conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee that market forecasts will be realized.
Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
Non-Diversified: The Fund is non-diversified and may be more susceptible to factors negatively impacting its holdings to the extent that each security represents a larger portion of the Fund’s assets.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
After strong performance in 2021, markets became volatile in 2022, with both equities and fixed income entering bear markets. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) began tapering its bond purchases in October 2021, after providing support to the fixed income markets during the pandemic. And, while the inflation that spiked after massive pandemic spending, supply chain bottlenecks, and COVID lockdowns at first appeared transitory, inflation quickly escalated in the second quarter of 2022 and became a major risk to the economy. The Russian invasion of Ukraine also fueled inflation and once again pressured fragile supply chains.
The Fed raised interest rates five times during the fiscal year in an effort to tame record-high inflation. To make matters more challenging, robust employment became an obstacle in slowing spending, with the Fed saying it could make additional rate increases to attempt to bring down inflation. Investor pessimism and market sentiment soured to new lows for the duration of the fiscal year.
On the international front, China’s enforcement of its zero-COVID policy forced continued lockdowns,
which rattled important supply chains. In addition, China’s significant regulatory crackdowns destroyed certain industries and gave investors pause to invest elsewhere in the country. Tensions with Taiwan also presented new risks due to global semiconductor dependence.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the S&P 500® Index declined 15.47%, while small-capitalization stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000® Index, were down 23.50%. International developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), lost 25.13%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) declined 28.11% for the period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed the MSCI ACWI Ex USA SMID Cap Index (net) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Poor stock selection in industrials and financials detracted from performance. Positive stock selection and an overweight in health care as well as positive stock selection in consumer staples contributed to performance.
From a country perspective, poor stock selection in the U.K. and an overweight in Russia detracted from performance. Positive stock selection in China and Malaysia contributed to performance.
The biggest contributors to performance during the period were Pason Systems, FinecoBank, Anhui Gujing Distillery, BTS Group, and Kerry TJ Logistics.
The biggest detractors from performance during the period were HeadHunter, Mercari, Mortgage Advice Bureau, Rightmove, and Knorr-Bremse.
The preceding information is the opinion of portfolio management only through the end of the period stated on the cover.

Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, subjects
the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
Industrial Concentration: Because the portfolio is presently heavily weighted in the industrial sector, it will be impacted by that sector’s performance more than a portfolio with broader sector diversification.
Limited Number of Investments: Because the Fund has a limited number of securities, it may be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting its securities than a fund with a greater number of securities.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) was negative in all four fiscal quarters.
Emerging market equities declined in the fourth quarter of 2021 as the regulatory cloud hanging over China combined with the Omicron variant of COVID-19, supply chain challenges, and rising inflation to pull shares lower. China’s 6.1% decline had the greatest impact on benchmark performance in the quarter given its substantial weight in the index. China’s zero-tolerance approach to COVID resulted in strict lockdown measures that brought warnings from Samsung and Micron that memory chip manufacturing could be impacted. In the face of strengthening economic headwinds, China’s central bank cut its key interest rate by 0.05% to 3.8%, feeding expectations of further loosening to soften the economic slowdown. India’s performance cooled in the final quarter of 2021, but remained a bright spot for the year. The economy benefitted from the fallout of regulatory action in China. Brazil’s economic woes deepened as the country entered
official recession territory following negative growth in the third quarter of 2021, and its central bank raised interest rates by 1.50% in December to 9.25% in an effort to tame rampant inflation.
Emerging market equities declined in the first quarter of 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and resulting sanctions rattled investors and fed into existing uncertainty about inflation and global economic growth. Chinese authorities continued regulatory measures with new rules targeting tech companies, although some commentators pointed to a softening approach as Beijing looked to support economic growth. The country’s zero-tolerance approach to COVID also came under scrutiny as it attempted to implement partial lockdowns in its economic hub, Shanghai, and manufacturing measures declined. As across other emerging markets, commodity price increases fed inflation in India. The Indian government prompted international criticism as it maintained economic ties with Russia, which included considering a rupee-ruble payments system that could circumvent sanctions on oil imports. Latin American markets bucked the trend in the first quarter of 2022, as Brazil recovered strongly from underperformance in 2021, due to surging commodity prices and strengthened currencies.
Emerging market equities declined again in the second quarter of 2022. Steep and rising inflation continued to weigh on markets as central banks raised interest rates in an effort to dampen the demand side of the inflation equation. The result was a turbulent market and a risk-averse mood, with investors concerned about slowing growth and recession. In the beginning of the second quarter, China maintained its zero-COVID approach with renewed lockdowns in Shanghai and Beijing, as well as mass testing. The initiatives weighed on consumption and gross domestic product (GDP). On the other hand, the government introduced a package of 33 measures to boost growth. Toward the end of the quarter, the authorities shortened quarantine times for international arrivals, prompting a rally in Chinese equities. Much of southeast Asia witnessed an economic recovery, despite stagflation concerns elsewhere, as reopening drove an increase in tourism in countries such as Thailand. However, South Korea witnessed a sharp rise in its stockpile of memory chips, indicating a slowdown in international demand from global tech manufacturers. Brazil’s inflation rate
stayed stubbornly high at 12%, and the central bank lifted interest rates in June.
Emerging market equities declined again in the third quarter of 2022. Central banks around the world continued to battle stubborn inflation by aggressively hiking interest rates. Equities tumbled and the U.S. dollar rose to new highs as investors looked for safe havens. Meanwhile, war in Ukraine, worries about how an energy supply disruption might impact Europe, and a slowdown in China further eroded sentiment. Beijing’s zero-COVID stance weighed on China’s economic performance, with data showing GDP up just 0.4% in the second quarter compared with the prior year. China was not immune to global currency headwinds as the renminbi fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 2008. India was a relative outperformer, as data showed that GDP grew by 13.5% year-over-year between April and June. Amid deteriorating global economic performance, Brazil outperformed as its Economy Ministry upgraded its GDP growth forecast for the year to 2.7% in September from 2.0%.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022. The following discussion highlights specific stocks—those that provided the largest contribution to absolute performance and those that were the largest detractors for the fiscal year.
Stocks that helped absolute performance
Eicher Motors continued to see a pick-up in volume and revenue growth domestically and internationally. Revenue growth in the most recent quarter was up 72% year-over-year, with 52% volume growth and an 18% increase in pricing. New model launches performed better than expected, while exports were up 60% year-over-year, with increased growth in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Eicher Motors is the dominant player in premium motorcycles in India, and is often referred to as the Harley Davidson of India. Eicher is also present in commercial vehicles through a joint venture with Volvo.
Wal-Mart De Mexico saw solid Mexico retail sales trends, with the company continuing to gain market share. E-commerce offerings also continued to grow during the period. Walmex is the premier retailer in Mexico. Unlike Wal-Mart in the U.S., which offers

cheap prices but a no-frills shopping environment, Walmex offers both low prices and a better shopping experience than most stores in the country. The company has no net debt, managing working capital effectively, and generates strong cash flow.
Bank Central Asia, Telkom Indonesia, and Bank Rakyat Indonesia also contributed to the Fund’s absolute performance.
Stocks that hurt absolute performance
Taiwan Semiconductor underperformed as concerns over a semiconductor down cycle and moderating end demand, coupled with a rotation out of growth names, weighed on the semiconductor space. The stock was also challenged by discussions in the media that Taiwan Semiconductor might cancel its price hike or lower the magnitude for 2023 given the weaker-than-expected end demand, the recent order revisions downward, and potential adjustments from Apple. Taiwan Semiconductor pioneered the dedicated foundry industry. A foundry is a facility dedicated solely to chip manufacturing, as opposed to a fabless semiconductor company, which focuses on chip design and does no manufacturing. The company has consistently captured 100% of industry profits due to superior execution of a highly complex manufacturing process, and has patented its processes, limiting the ability of competitors to copy its success. Volume growth in semiconductors has been in the 15% range, and barriers to entry have increased.
Naver Corp.’s profit margins continued to be pressured due to adverse shifts in its revenue mix toward the lower-margin content business. The company also faced concerns that competitive
intensity is increasing in its core advertising and ecommerce businesses. Naver is the largest online portal in Korea. It has built a powerful ecosystem by being the only player in Korea that is dominant in search, shopping, payment, and content – its services are designed to complement one another through a virtuous circle.
Shenzhou International, SK Hynix, and JD.COM also detracted from absolute performance.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
The MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (net) was positive in the first fiscal quarter, and negative in the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters.
International equity markets posted moderate returns in the fourth quarter of 2021. Markets continued to weigh positive economic growth and earnings recoveries from COVID with the potential economic impact of the new Omicron variant, further regulatory crackdowns by the Chinese government, and a slowing real estate sector in China. The emergence of Omicron in November prompted the reintroduction of restrictions across many countries, and created worries about the renewed threat to public health and the economic recovery. As the period progressed, a growing body of evidence on Omicron showed less severe effects and fewer hospitalizations than the Delta variant, prompting a December surge that brought European equities back to near-record levels. Chinese equities continued to underperform amid the ongoing regulatory
crackdown, dragging the emerging markets and Asia Pacific benchmarks lower.
International equity markets declined in the first quarter of 2022, as record inflation levels spread around the globe, interest rates rose abruptly, and the U.S. reiterated its stance on delisting foreign companies that do not comply with its auditing standards – a move directed mainly at China. Further exacerbating challenged markets, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine increased geopolitical risks while sending commodity prices higher. Higher costs and logistical supply challenges weighed heavily on Europe. Natural gas prices climbed by over 50% as the region wrestled with its dependence on Russia. Rapidly rising energy prices fed an acceleration in inflation, with Euro area price increases hitting 5.8% in February of 2022. The European Central Bank (ECB) guided that gradual interest rate rises were to come.
International equity markets came under pressure in the second quarter of 2022. The conflict in Ukraine fed energy supply concerns and inflation, accelerating expectations for interest rate increases in Europe, although Japan and China maintained their accommodative stances. Inflation in Europe continued to spike, driven by energy price turmoil stemming from the war. The ECB hardened its stance on tackling inflation, leading markets to expect rate increases. European reliance on Russian natural gas prompted worries about shortages and the prospect of rationing throughout the winter months. In the beginning of the second quarter of 2022, China maintained its zero-COVID approach, although the initiatives weighed on consumption and gross domestic product (GDP). Toward the end of the quarter, quarantine measures for international arrivals were shortened, prompting a rally in Chinese equities.
International equity markets weakened in the third quarter of 2022. Central banks continued to battle stubborn inflation by aggressively hiking interest rates. Equities tumbled and the U.S. dollar rose to new highs as investors looked for safe havens. Concerns over the potential for a global recession became more pronounced as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the ECB indicated that tamping down inflation was their primary concern. Meanwhile, war in Ukraine, worries about how an energy supply disruption might impact Europe, and a slowdown in China further eroded sentiment. The ECB raised interest rates sharply. Nevertheless, price
increases continued to accelerate across the Eurozone in September, fueling expectations of further interest rate rises. A package of tax cuts from the new British cabinet provoked market turmoil, sending the pound close to parity with the dollar and leading to a spike in U.K. treasury yields. In contrast with the rest of the developed world, Japan persisted with negative interest rates through the third quarter as consumer prices rose by 2.8% in August. China implemented new lockdowns, which combined with drought, power shortages, and softening international demand, resulted in weak exports. India was a relative outperformer, as data showed strong GDP growth.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022. The following discussion highlights specific stocks—those that provided the largest contribution to absolute performance and those that were the largest detractors for the fiscal year.
Stocks that helped absolute performance
Mondelez International posted impressive results, as inflation headwinds did not deter consumers from buying Oreo cookies or Cadbury chocolate bars. Mondelez reported robust organic sales growth of 8.6% earlier in 2022. Sales were particularly strong in the emerging markets, where volumes grew 10%. While Mondelez experienced input cost pressures, it implemented price increases to partially offset the costs. Mondelez is a global snacking giant with several iconic brands. The snack category is one of the fastest growing categories in the food space, and Mondelez generates about 40% of its revenues from faster-growing emerging markets.
We added a position in Hermes International at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, as we believed valuation had returned to compelling levels. We believe the timing was good as markets rallied and recent company and peer comments saw strong U.S. and European Union luxury spending, and even China showed better reopening trends for Hermes in July. Hermes is arguably the most valuable luxury brand in the world. This is partly due to the fact that it has long been tightly controlled by the founding family. Although the stock is not considered to be cheap, neither are the company’s signature scarves and handbags.

Vontobel Foreign Opportunities Fund (Continued)
Wal-Mart De Mex, Adidas, and Roche Holdings also contributed to the Fund’s absolute performance.
Stocks that hurt absolute performance
During the period, the market pressured health care companies that were seen as COVID beneficiaries. While Eurofins Scientific experienced some near-term headwinds for organic growth earlier in the fiscal year, including capacity prioritized for COVID versus biopharma, food testing impact from geopolitical issues, and environmental testing impact from COVID lockdowns, the company reported profit numbers slightly above expectations in the most recent quarter. Eurofins is a testing company with a focus on food, pharma, environment, and clinical diagnostic testing. Food testing, the jewel of the company, has shown consistent growth year over year due to frequent food scares and increased regulation. The clinical diagnostics segment is a huge market with strong growth in the specialized testing area where Eurofins is focused.
Sartorius Stedim also struggled with market pressures on COVID beneficiaries. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services for the development and manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. The services include highly specific equipment and consumables that are necessary for biologics manufacturing. The company’s services specifically target single use supplies that the pharma industry has increasingly adopted as more cost effective and less time-consuming.
Rentokil, Hoya Corp., and Budweiser Brewing also detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
The MSCI All Country World Index (net) was positive in the first fiscal quarter, and negative in the second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters.
Global equities performed well in the fourth quarter of 2021, although the path was uneven as rising inflation, concerns about monetary tightening, and surges in COVID cases created volatility. The emergence of the Omicron variant in November created worries about the renewed threat to public health and the economic recovery. Inflation continued to rise and U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth declined for the third quarter. Market sentiment turned positive in December as evidence showed Omicron to have less severe effects than the Delta variant. European stocks went on a similar rollercoaster ride through the final quarter of 2021, but finished strongly after a December rally. Chinese equities continued to underperform amid the ongoing regulatory crackdown, dragging the emerging markets and Asia Pacific benchmarks lower. India’s performance cooled in the final quarter
but remained a bright spot for the year. In contrast, Brazil’s economic woes deepened as the country entered an official recession.
Global equity markets declined in the first quarter of 2022 as the war in Ukraine fed into concerns about geopolitical risks and energy supply. Investors also worried about spiking inflation and rising interest rates. The pullback started in early January as the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) hit a four-decade high of 7% and oil spiked to its highest level since the financial crisis. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) implemented a 0.25% interest rate rise in March. Higher commodity costs and supply challenges weighed heavily on Europe. Natural gas prices climbed by over 50% as the region wrestled with its dependence on Russia. In the face of rising inflation, the European Central Bank (ECB) guided to gradual interest rate rises. Chinese authorities continued regulatory measures in the first quarter with new rules targeting tech companies. The country’s zero-COVID policy came under scrutiny as China attempted to implement partial lockdowns in Shanghai. Commodity price increases fed inflation in India.
Global equity markets weakened in the second quarter of 2022. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continued to drive up energy costs and feed inflation, accelerating expectations for interest rate increases. U.S. inflation remained far above target levels, reaching 8.6% in May. To combat rising prices, the Fed lifted interest rates by 0.75% in June, the largest increase in 28 years, leading to increased fears about a recession. Inflation in Europe continued to spike, driven by energy price turmoil stemming from the war in Ukraine. The ECB hardened its stance on tackling inflation, leading markets to expect future rate increases. European reliance on Russian natural gas prompted worries about shortages. Early in the quarter, China maintained its zero-COVID approach, although the initiatives weighed on consumption and GDP. Toward the end of the quarter, quarantine measures for international arrivals were shortened, prompting a rally in Chinese equities.
Global equity markets weakened in the third quarter of 2022. Central banks continued to battle stubborn inflation by aggressively hiking interest rates. The Fed pledged to continue tightening, which increased expectations of a U.S. economic downturn. It also drove the dollar to multi-decade highs, which in turn hampered the earnings of U.S. multinational
corporations. Echoing U.S. measures, the ECB raised interest rates sharply. Nevertheless, price increases continued to accelerate across the Eurozone in September, fueling expectations of further sizable interest rate increases. A package of tax cuts from the new British cabinet provoked market turmoil, sending the pound close to parity with the dollar and leading to a spike in U.K. treasury yields. China implemented new lockdowns, which combined with drought, power shortages, and softening international demand, resulted in weak exports. China was not immune to global currency headwinds as the renminbi fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 2008. India was a relative outperformer, as data showed strong GDP growth.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022. The following discussion highlights specific stocks—those that provided the largest contribution to absolute performance and those that were the largest detractors for the fiscal year.
Stocks that helped absolute performance
UnitedHealth Group outperformed as the company’s business was viewed as less economically sensitive than most. This led to the stock being more defensive as the market sold off on fears of coming economic weakness. UnitedHealth is a diversified health care company that operates through two distinct platforms: UnitedHealthcare, which provides health care coverage and benefits services; and Optum, which provides information and technology-enabled health services.
Coca Cola was a strong performer during the period. The company is the leading global manufacturer and distributor of non-alcoholic beverages and syrups. It owns or licenses more than 450 branded carbonated soft drinks, waters, juices, teas, coffees, and sports drinks. The company benefits from having strong brands, distribution, and marketing.
Keysight Technologies, Synopsys, and Ross Stores also helped contribute to the Fund’s absolute performance.
Stocks that hurt absolute performance
After reporting weaker-than-expected results in the second half of 2021, PayPal rescinded its mid-term

Vontobel Global Opportunities Fund (Continued)
earnings guidance and announced a strategic pivot away from account growth to average revenue per account growth, with a focus on engaging high quality users while scaling down campaigns aimed solely at increasing the total number of users. Our independent due diligence re-affirmed our view that PayPal remained the most recognized and frequently used digital wallet, that the company’s merchant footprint continued to increase throughout COVID thus strengthening their two-sided network, and that its market share gains had persisted through the pandemic. As a result, we concluded that the new strategy was sensible and that the company was well-positioned to execute the strategy. We continued to hold the stock as of the end of the fiscal year.
Amazon.com missed earnings expectations earlier this year mainly due to higher-than-expected costs as well as lower productivity. Despite a rebound in July, the stock gave back some performance in September due to the rotation away from growth stocks. Amazon reported strong second-quarter numbers, with operating profit coming in around 84% ahead of expectations and revenue guidance for the third quarter an acceleration from the second quarter. Amazon is the leading player in e-commerce in North America, and has leading positions in several markets in Europe, as well as India and Japan.
Amazon also has the leading position globally in Cloud services with Amazon World Services (AWS).
Flutter Entertainment, Adobe Systems, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing also detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance.

Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
Foreign & Emerging Markets:  Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the
prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2022?
The MSCI Europe Index (net) was positive in the first fiscal quarter, and negative in the fiscal second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters.
European equity markets posted positive performance in the fourth quarter of 2021. Rising inflation, concerns about monetary policy, and a surge in COVID cases created volatility. The emergence of the Omicron variant created worries about the renewed threat to public health and the economic recovery. Supply chain bottlenecks and labor shortages added to the pressure, driving sentiment lower. The IHS Markit Eurozone Purchasing Managers Index® dipped to a nine-month low in December of 2021, while a U.K. private sector measure also slowed sharply to its lowest level in 10 months. In the face of rising prices and sputtering growth, central bank policy began to diverge. While the European Central Bank (ECB) warned against tightening too soon, the Bank of England lifted its base rate for the first time in three years to 0.25% in an attempt to stave off inflation and
boost the currency. As the period progressed, a growing body of evidence indicated that Omicron was less severe than the Delta variant, prompting a December rally that brought equities back to near-record levels.
European equity markets declined in the first quarter of 2022. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting economic sanctions caused widespread concern among investors about inflation and energy supply and security across the continent. This heightened existing uncertainty about monetary policy and the path for global growth. Higher commodity costs, as well as logistical supply challenges, weighed heavily on Europe. Natural gas prices climbed by over 50% as the region wrestled with its dependence on Russia. As countries enacted sanctions, Germany halted certification of the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline. European oil and gas companies also had to contend with Russian exposure – the U.K.’s BP said it would abandon its stake in Rosneft at a cost of up to $25 billion. Rapidly rising energy prices fed an acceleration in inflation, with prices in the Eurozone increasing 5.8% in February of 2022. The ECB guided to gradual interest rate increases.
European equity markets fell in the second quarter of 2022 as the conflict in Ukraine fed energy supply concerns and rising prices, accelerating expectations for interest rate increases. Cyclical sectors such as energy posted the strongest returns, while defensive sectors such as communication services and consumer staples held up better than the market overall. Real estate, given its economic sensitivity, declined the most, followed by information technology. Inflation in Europe continued to spike, driven by energy price turmoil stemming from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The ECB hardened its stance on tackling inflation, leading markets to expect rates to rise above zero in September. The Bank of England continued on its gradual tightening path, warning that the downturn in the U.K. could be longer-lasting than in other major economies. European reliance on Russian natural gas supply prompted worries about shortages and the prospect of rationing throughout the winter months, particularly in Germany and Italy.
European equities declined again in the third quarter of 2022. The ECB raised interest rates sharply as it put its focus clearly on fighting inflation. However, price increases continued to accelerate to 10%
across the Eurozone in September, fueling expectations of further sizable interest rate hikes. Inflation in Germany reached a seven-decade high of 10.9% as measures to ease the impact of the energy crisis expired. Soaring energy bills and the prospect of rationing through the approaching winter were exacerbated by accusations of Russian sabotage on major gas pipelines into Northern Europe, which in turn increased expectations for a sharp economic downturn. While revised economic data for the U.K. showed that the economy had narrowly avoided tipping into recession in the second quarter, fiscal measures from the new cabinet provoked market turmoil. A package of tax cuts put further pressure on the weak pound, sending it close to parity with the U.S. dollar and leading to a spike in U.K. treasury yields.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Europe Index (net), for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022. The following discussion highlights specific stocks—those that provided the largest contribution to absolute performance and those that were the largest detractors for the fiscal year.
Stocks that helped absolute performance
UBS Group benefitted from higher interest rates during the fiscal year. We believe UBS is one of the better capitalized banks in the world, and could be positioned to generate cash while still achieving healthy earnings growth. UBS is the largest global wealth manager, with two thirds of its earnings expected to come from its asset-gathering businesses, after the company made a strategic decision to shrink its investment bank.
We added a position in Hermes International at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, as we believed valuation had returned to compelling levels. We believe the timing was good as markets rallied and recent company and peer comments saw strong U.S. and European Union luxury spending, and even China showed better reopening trends for Hermes in July. Hermes is arguably the most valuable luxury brand in the world. This is partly due to the fact that it has long been tightly controlled by the founding family. Although the stock is not considered to be cheap, neither are the company’s signature scarves and handbags.

Vontobel Greater European Opportunities Fund (Continued)
Roche Holdings, CTS Eventim, and La Francaise Des also contributed to the Fund’s absolute performance.
Stocks that hurt absolute performance
During the period, the market pressured health care companies that were seen as COVID beneficiaries. While Eurofins Scientific experienced some near-term headwinds for organic growth earlier in the fiscal year, including capacity prioritized for COVID versus biopharma, food testing impact from geopolitical issues, and environmental testing impact from COVID lockdowns, the company reported profit numbers slightly above expectations in the most recent quarter. Eurofins is a testing company with a focus on food, pharma, environment, and clinical diagnostic testing. Food testing, the jewel of the company, has shown consistent growth year over year due to frequent food scares and increased regulation. The clinical diagnostics segment is a huge market with strong growth in the specialized testing area where Eurofins is focused.
The market was enthusiastic about shares of Flutter Entertainment at the beginning of the Fund’s fiscal year due to strong performance by the company’s U.S. business. Throughout 2022, however, sentiment became more negative. A key overhang, the tightening of U.K. regulation, took more time than expected to finalize, depriving investors of more certainty about the company’s prospects. In addition, the market started to become concerned about consumption weakness in the U.K. and Europe. Flutter is the largest global online gambling operator, and the leading operator in the U.K., Ireland, Australia and the U.S.
Teleperformance Societe Europene, Ashtead Group, and Alcon also detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance.

Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
Foreign & Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign securities, especially in emerging markets, subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
Geographic Concentration: A fund that focuses its investments in a particular geographic location will be sensitive to financial, economic, political, and other events negatively affecting of that location.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (e.g.,
COVID-19 pandemic) or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the Fund’s manager(s) to invest the Fund’s assets as intended.

Note 1. Organization
Virtus Opportunities Trust (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
As of the date of this report, 26 funds of the Trust are offered for sale, of which 13 (each a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) are reported in this annual report. Each Fund has a distinct investment objective and all of the Funds except the Duff & Phelps Real Asset Fund, KAR Developing Markets Fund, and KAR International Small-Mid Cap Fund are diversified. Each Fund’s investment objective is outlined in its respective Fund Summary page. There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its objective(s).
The Duff & Phelps Real Asset Fund is a fund of funds whose primary investment strategy involves investing in other investment companies, such as ETFs and other mutual funds.
All of the Funds offer Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class I shares. All of the Funds with the exception of the Duff & Phelps International Real Estate Securities Fund and Vontobel Greater European Opportunities Fund also offer Class R6 shares.
Class A shares of the Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50% with some exceptions. Generally, Class A shares are not subject to any charges by the Funds when redeemed; however, a 0.50% – 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be imposed on certain redemptions made within a certain period following purchases on which a finder’s fee has been paid. The period for which such CDSC applies for the Funds is 18 months. The CDSC period begins on the last day of the month preceding the month in which the purchase was made.
Class C shares are generally sold with a 1% CDSC, applicable if redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares and any reinvested dividends and other distributions paid on such shares, will be automatically converted to Class A shares of the same Fund following a required holding period, which as of March 1, 2021, was eight years. Effective January 1, 2019, to February 28, 2021, with certain exceptions, Class C shares and any reinvested dividends and other distributions paid on such shares, were automatically converted to Class A shares of the same Fund ten years after the purchase date. If an investor intends to purchase greater than $999,999 of Class C shares, and the purchase would qualify for Class A shares with no load, then the purchase will automatically be made into a purchase of Class A shares, thus reducing expenses. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or CDSC.
Class R6 shares are offered without a minimum initial investment to the following investors in plan level or omnibus accounts only (provided that they do not require or receive any compensation, administrative payments, sub-transfer agency payments or service payments with respect to Class R6 shares): (i) qualified retirement plans, including, but not limited to, 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, and defined benefit plans; (ii) banks and trust companies; (iii) insurance companies; (iv) financial intermediaries utilizing such shares in fee-based investment advisory programs; (v) registered investment companies; and (vi) non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Other institutional investors may be permitted to purchase Class R6 shares subject to the applicable Fund’s determination of eligibility and may be subject to a $2,500,000 minimum initial investment requirement. In addition, without a minimum initial investment requirement, Class R6 shares are available to any Trustee of the Virtus Funds and trustees/directors of affiliated open- and closed-end funds, directors, officers and employees of Virtus and its affiliates, and a spouse or domestic partner, child or minor grandchild of any such qualifying individual (in each case either individually or jointly with other investors), provided in each case that those shares are held directly with the Transfer Agent or in an eligible account. Class R6 shares do not carry sales commissions or pay Rule 12b-1 fees. No compensation, administrative payments, sub-transfer agency payments or service payments are paid to brokers or other entities from Fund assets or the Funds’ distributor’s or an affiliate’s resources on sales of or investments in Class R6 shares.
The Funds may impose an annual fee on accounts having balances of less than $2,500. The small account fee may be waived in certain circumstances, as disclosed in the prospectuses and/or statement of additional information. The fees collected will be used to offset certain expenses of the Funds. These fees are reflected as “Less low balance account fees” in each Fund’s Statement of Operations for the period, as applicable.
Each class of shares has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that each class bears any expenses attributable specifically to that class (“class-specific expenses”) and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any Rule 12b-1 and/or shareholder service plan (“12b-1 Plan”) approved by the Board. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are not subject to a 12b-1 Plan. Class-specific expenses may include shareholder servicing fees, sub-transfer agency fees, and fees under a 12b-1 Plan, as well as certain other expenses as designated by the Funds’ Treasurer and approved by the Board. Investment income, common operating expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of each Fund are borne pro-rata by the holders of each class of shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
($ reported in thousands)
The Trust is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements and for derivatives, included in Note 3 below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.
A. Basis of Consolidation
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements of FORT Trend Fund include the account of VATS Offshore Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FORT Trend Fund and is organized as a company under the laws of the Cayman Islands and primarily
112


VIRTUS OPPORTUNITIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

  invests in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act. The Subsidiary enables FORT Trend Fund to hold these commodity-related instruments and satisfy regulated investment company tax requirements. FORT Trend Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The net assets of the Subsidiary at September 30, 2022 were $23,123 and 18% of FORT Trend Fund’s consolidated net assets. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to FORT Trend Fund, except that the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-related instruments.
B. Security Valuation
  Each Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period.
   • Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities).
     •    Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
     •    Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A description of the valuation techniques applied to a Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Illiquid, restricted equity securities and illiquid private placements are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, and are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Funds fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
Debt instruments, including convertible bonds, and restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, activity of the underlying equities, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt instruments that are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Listed derivatives, such as options and futures, that are actively traded are valued at the last posted settlement price from the exchange where they are principally traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts and equity-linked instruments, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. 
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value a Fund’s net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Fund. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
C. Security Transactions and Investment Income
  Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recognized on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt instruments are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
  Dividend income from REITs is recorded using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in distributions received from such investments based on historical information and other industry sources. The return of capital portion of the estimate is a reduction to investment income and a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed their cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

VIRTUS OPPORTUNITIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2022
D. Income Taxes
  Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is the intention of each Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made. The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code. Therefore, the FORT Trend Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the FORT Trend Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
  Certain Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
  Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Each Fund’s U.S. federal income tax return is generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after it is filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction. 
E. Distributions to Shareholders
  Distributions are recorded by each Fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
F. Expenses
  Expenses incurred together by a Fund and other affiliated mutual funds are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each such fund, except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund and other fund, or an alternative allocation method, can be more appropriately used.
  In addition to the net annual operating expenses that a Fund bears directly, the shareholders of a Fund indirectly bear the pro-rata expenses of any underlying mutual funds in which the Fund invests.
G. Foreign Currency Transactions
  Non-U.S. investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the foreign currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period. Cost of investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at the trade date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the trade and settlement date of a portfolio transaction is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the date income is accrued and the date it is paid is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. For fixed income securities, the Funds bifurcate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. For equity securities, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
  H. Securities Lending
  The Funds may loan securities to qualified brokers through a securities lending agency agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”). Under the securities lending policy, when lending securities a Fund is required to maintain collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan bringing the collateral market value in line with the required percent. Due to timing of collateral adjustments, the market value of collateral held with respect to a loaned security, may be more or less than the value of the security on loan.
  Collateral may consist of cash and securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies. Cash collateral is invested in a short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the broker are recorded as income by the Fund net of fees and rebates charged/paid by BNYM for its services as securities lending agent and in connection with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the declining value of the collateral.
  Securities lending transactions are entered into by each Fund under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (“MSLA”) which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.
   At September 30, 2022, the securities loaned were subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis as follows:

Note 3. Derivative Financial Instruments and Transactions
($ reported in thousands)
Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to enable investors to understand how and why a Fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are such disclosures and accounting policies for each specific type of derivative instrument used by certain Funds.
A. Futures Contracts
  A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase (long) or sell (short) a security at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to the “initial margin” requirements of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by a Fund for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract expires or is closed, gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed is realized. This is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain (loss) from future contracts.
  During the fiscal year (the “period”) ended September 30, 2022, FORT Trend Fund utilized futures to optimize performance by gaining exposure to broad markets or to hedge the risk of securities within the portfolios. The potential risks of doing so are that 1) the use of futures may result in larger losses or smaller gains than the use of more traditional investments, 2) the prices of futures and the price movements of the securities that the future is intended to simulate may not correlate well, 3) the Fund’s success in using futures will be dependent upon the subadviser’s ability to correctly predict such price movements, 4) liquidity of futures can be adversely affected by market factors, and the prices of such securities may move in unexpected ways, and 5) if the Fund cannot close out a futures position, it may be compelled to continue to make daily cash payments to the broker to meet margin requirements, thus increasing transaction costs. Futures contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Cash deposited as margin is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Cash pledged as collateral for futures contracts.”
  The following is a summary of derivative instruments categorized by primary risk exposure, presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at September 30, 2022:

B. Derivative Risks
  A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
  A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on derivatives bought or sold OTC rather than traded on a securities exchange, is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Fund. For OTC purchased options, each Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by a Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund, and not the counterparty to perform.
  With exchange traded futures, generally speaking, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
  In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, each Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

VIRTUS OPPORTUNITIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2022
C. Collateral Requirements and Master Netting Agreements (“MNA”)
  For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds and the counterparty.
  Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Typically, the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
  For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
  The following table presents the FORT Trend Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a MNA and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Funds as of September 30, 2022:

E. Distributor
  VP Distributors, LLC (“VP Distributors”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Virtus, serves as the distributor of each Fund’s shares. VP Distributors has advised the Funds that for the period ended September 30, 2022, it retained net commissions of $42 for Class A shares and CDSC of $16 and $16 for Class A shares and Class C shares, respectively.
  In addition, each Fund pays VP Distributors 12b-1 fees under a 12b-1 Plan as a percentage of the average daily net assets of each respective class at the annual rates of 0.25%(1) for Class A shares and 1.00%(1)(2) for Class C shares. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are not subject to a 12b-1 Plan.
  Under certain circumstances, shares of certain Virtus Mutual Funds may be exchanged for shares of the same class of certain other Virtus Mutual Funds on the basis of the relative NAV per share at the time of the exchange. On exchanges with share classes that carry a CDSC, the CDSC schedule of the original shares purchased continues to apply.
(1) Some of the Funds invest in ETFs. In addition to the fees listed, the Funds bear their proportionate shares of any distribution and shareholder servicing fees of the ETFs.
(2) The Funds’ distributor has contractually agreed to waive its 12b-1 fees applicable to Class C shares to the extent that the Funds’ investments in underlying ETFs with their own 12b-1 fees would otherwise cause the total 12b-1 fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to exceed the limits set forth in applicable law or regulation.

Note 8. Credit and Market Risk and Asset Concentration
Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s) to invest each Fund’s assets as intended.
In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced the intention to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. However, after subsequent announcements by the FCA, the LIBOR administrator and other regulators, certain of the most widely used LIBORs

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2022
are expected to continue until June 30, 2023. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, which is regulated and authorized by FCA, and the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publishing certain LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021. The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets and may present a material risk for certain market participants, including the Funds. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could lead to significant short- and long-term uncertainty and market instability. The risks associated with this discontinuation and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. It remains uncertain the effects such changes will have on the Funds, issuers of instruments in which the Funds invest, and the financial markets generally.
In countries with limited or developing markets, investments may present greater risks than in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of these investments and the income they generate, as well as a Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.
Certain Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in the pursuit of their investment objectives. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on a Fund, positive or negative, than if the Fund did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.
At September 30, 2022, the following Funds held securities issued by various companies in specific sectors as detailed below:

Note 9.  Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and in separate agreements between each Trustee and the Trust, its Trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and its funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust and the Funds enter into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s and/or the Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust or the Funds and that have not occurred. However, neither the Trust nor the Funds have had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements, and they expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 10. Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category. Each Fund will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities.
At September 30, 2022, the Funds did not hold any securities that were restricted.
Note 11. Redemption Facility
($ reported in thousands)
On September 18, 2017, the Funds and certain other affiliated funds entered into an $150,000 unsecured line of credit (“Credit Agreement”). On June 14, 2021, the Credit Agreement was increased to $250,000. This Credit Agreement, as amended, is with a commercial bank that allows the Funds to borrow cash from the bank to manage large unexpected redemptions and trade fails, up to a limit of one-third or one-fifth, as applicable, of each Fund’s total net assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This Credit Agreement has a term of 364 days and has been renewed for a period up to March 9, 2023. Interest is charged at the higher of the LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed. Commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance. Total commitment fees paid for the period ended September 30, 2022, are included in the “Interest expense and/or commitment fees” line on the Statements of Operations. The Funds and other affiliated funds that are parties are individually, and not jointly, liable for their particular advances, if any, under the Credit Agreement. The lending bank has the ability to require repayment of outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement upon certain circumstances such as an event of default.
The following Funds had an outstanding loan during the period.  The borrowings were valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

The differences between the book and tax basis of distributable earnings relate principally to the timing of recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes. Short-term gain distributions, if any, are reported as ordinary income for federal tax purposes. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the fiscal periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. Permanent reclassifications can arise from differing treatment of certain income and gain transactions and nondeductible current year net operating losses. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds. Temporary differences that arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will likely reverse at some time in the future.
Note 13. Reorganization
($ reported in thousands)
On July 19, 2021, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) with respect to Virtus KAR International Small-Mid Cap Fund II (the “Merged Fund”), a series of the Trust, and KAR International Small-Mid Cap Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), which
131


VIRTUS OPPORTUNITIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2022
provided for the transfer of all of the assets of the Merged Fund for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption of the liabilities of the Merged Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to allow shareholders of both funds to own shares of a larger combined fund, to reduce redundancies associated with having two funds that were substantially identical operating as separate series, and to allow shareholders of the Merged Fund to own shares of a fund with a substantially identical investment objective and style as, and potentially lower expenses than, the Merged Fund. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on October 22, 2021. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Merged Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The share transactions associated with the merger are as follows:
Merged Fund   Shares
Outstanding
  Shares Converted   Merged Fund Net
Asset Value of
Converted Shares
Class A Shares   40,674   23,696   $ 607
Class C Shares   20,936   12,399   311
Class I Shares   2,583,429   1,501,375   38,692
Class R6 Shares   294,773   171,167   4,417
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) before the acquisition were as follows:
Merged Fund
Net Assets
  Merged Fund Unrealized
Appreciation (Depreciation)
  Acquiring
Fund Net Assets
$44,027   $9,371   $3,237,294
The net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately following the acquisition were $3,281,321.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2021, the Acquiring Fund’s pro-forma results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2022 would have been as follows:
Net investment income (loss)

$16,838(a)
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments

(1,241,150) (b)
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations

$ (1,224,312)
(a) $16,884, as reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, plus $(46) net investment loss from the Merged Fund pre-merger.
(b) $(1,242,742), as reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets, plus $1,592 net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments from Merged Fund pre-merger.
Because the Merged Fund and the Acquiring Fund have been managed as an integrated single fund since the completion date it is not feasible to separate the income/(losses) and gains/(losses) of the Merged Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s Statements of Changes in Net Assets since October 22, 2021.
Note 14. Regulatory Matters and Litigation
From time to time, the Trust, the Funds, the Advisers and/or subadvisers and/or their affiliates may be involved in litigation and arbitration as well as examinations and investigations by various regulatory bodies, including the SEC, involving compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting their activities. At this time, the Adviser believes that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually or in aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.
Note 15. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (UNAUDITED)
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Fund would not be able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Program is overseen by the Adviser as the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Program Administrator (the “Program Administrator”), and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Funds. Assessment and management of a Fund’s liquidity risk under the Program take into consideration certain factors, such as the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, its short- and long-term cash-flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, and its cash and cash-equivalent holdings and access to other funding sources. As required by the rule, the Program includes policies and procedures for classification of Fund portfolio holdings in four liquidity categories, maintaining certain levels of highly liquid investments, and limiting holdings of illiquid investments.
At a meeting of the Board held on May 23-25, 2022, the Board received a report from the Program Administrator addressing the operation and management of the Program for calendar year 2021 (the “Review Period”). The Program Administrator’s report noted that for the Review Period, the Program Administrator believed that the Program was implemented and operated effectively in all material respects and that existing procedures, controls and safeguards were appropriately designed to enable the Program Administrator to administer the Program in compliance with Rule 22e-4. The Program Administrator’s report noted that during the Review Period, there were no events that created liquidity related concerns for the Funds. The Program Administrator’s report further noted that while changes to the Program had been made during the Review Period and reported to the Board, no material changes were made to the Program as a result of the Program Administrator’s annual review.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to a Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in that Fund may be subject.

The proxy statement or information statement must be filed no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report.


Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years are $465,040 for 2021 and $488,653 for 2022.

Audit-Related Fees

  (e)(1)

Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

The Board of Trustees of Virtus Opportunities Trust (the “Fund”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services provided by its independent auditors. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the Fund on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must also approve other non-audit services provided to the Fund and those non-audit services provided to the Fund’s Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Certain of these non-audit services that the Audit Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent auditors may be approved by the Audit Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”).

The Audit Committee has determined that the Chair of the Audit Committee, may provide pre-approval for such services that meet the above requirements but are not included in the general pre-approval in the event such approval is sought between regularly scheduled meetings. In any event, the Audit Committee is informed of, and ratifies, each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person Audit Committee meeting.


  (e)(2)

The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are as follows:

 

  (b)

0%

 

  (c)

  (d)

N/A

 

  (f)

The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was less than fifty percent.

 

  (g)

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant was $141,999 for 2021 and $158,699 for 2022.
