MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS
To Virtus Investment Trust Shareholders:
I am pleased to present this annual report, which reviews the performance of your Fund for the 12 months ended June 30, 2022.
The 12-month period was a tale of two markets, with strong growth in the second half of 2021, followed by considerable market volatility in the first half of 2022. Uncertainty increased over the course of the fiscal year, as investors contended with higher inflation, rising interest rates, and efforts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) to tighten monetary policy. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February only added to the turmoil.
Domestic equity indexes struggled during the 12 months ended June 30, 2022. U.S. large-capitalization stocks were down 10.62%, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, and small-cap stocks lost 25.20%, 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 17.77%, while emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), were down 25.28%.
In fixed income markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose sharply to 2.98% on June 30, 2022, from 1.45% on June 30, 2021, as the Fed began to raise interest rates to tackle inflation. The broader U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was down 10.29% for the 12-month period, while non-investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, lost 12.81%.
When markets are volatile, it is best to focus on your long-term goals rather than the headlines. Your financial advisor can help. Please call our customer service team at 800-243-1574 if you have questions about your account or require assistance. We appreciate your business and remain committed to your long-term financial success.
Sincerely,
George R. Aylward
President, Virtus Investment Trust

VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD OF January 1, 2022 TO June 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 Investment Trust Fund (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 P shares, Institutional Class shares, Class R6 shares and Administrative Class 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 June 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 (181) 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.

* 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 (181) 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.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2022?
Emerging market (EM) equities declined during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, amid rising volatility, weakness in China, and expectations of more aggressive central bank rate hikes to combat persistent inflation.
 EM equities were volatile during the July to December 2021 period, as China’s government took an aggressive interventionist approach toward key consumer and technology-related companies, which took a toll on sentiment for the largest market in the benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net). New COVID-19 variants continued to stall expectations for global trade and led to further strain on already fragile supply chains, translating to a corresponding impact on inflation. EM equities were modestly lower in each month from the January to April 2022 period as the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) more aggressive tone regarding rate hikes weighed on valuations, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
led to a sell-off, and a spike in commodity and energy prices had a divergent impact on sectors and countries within the asset class. After modest outperformance in May 2022, EM equities again declined in June amid concerns that central banks in developed markets were behind the curve, as they were only just starting to raise rates, while EM central banks were much further along in their tightening cycle.
 Country results were led by a handful of small index weights, including double-digit gains in the Czech Republic, Kuwait, Qatar, and Indonesia, among others. Although outperforming the asset class as a whole, shares of companies in India still declined 4.4%, as higher inflation and rising energy prices had a negative impact on the nation, which is a large importer of energy. China declined close to 32% for the period due to headwinds related to COVID-19, coupled with increasing government intervention, which hurt key consumer and technology-related shares. South Korea, a proxy for global trade, was down more than 38%, while Russian shares were deemed essentially worthless due to sanctions and the removal of the country from key equity indexes. Sectors were broadly lower, with 10 out of 11 sectors posting losses. The utilities sector was the lone outperformer with a modest 4% gain. Meanwhile, consumer-related segments of the market were hit the hardest, with health care down 42%, followed by greater than 30% losses in consumer discretionary and communication services.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund slightly trailed the benchmark due primarily to stock selection. The weighting decisions around China, including a below-benchmark weight at the beginning of the period and an above-benchmark weight at the end of the period, coupled with positive stock selection, aided performance for the fiscal year. Stock selection in Taiwan, the U.S., South Africa, and Russia was also broadly positive relative to the benchmark. This was counterbalanced primarily by selection in India and the avoidance of Saudi Arabia, which advanced in part due to the impact of rising oil prices on the country’s economy. From a sector standpoint, bottom-up stock picking in communication services, health care, and consumer
discretionary contributed to performance, while selection in industrials, energy, and utilities offset results.
 The top contributor for the fiscal period was Fubon Financial Holding, which advanced due to the increased demand for insurance products in Taiwan, coupled with the company’s leadership position and profit margin recovery, all of which led to outperformance relative to peers. Shares of Postal Savings Bank of China advanced as a result of expectations of above-average profit growth and a higher quality loan book. Mosaic, the U.S.-listed producer of fertilizer, crop nutrients, and other agricultural products, advanced as the situation in Ukraine caused further disruption in the global fertilizer industry, which was already impacted by rising prices and lower supplies. An active underweight allocation to Chinese internet and e-commerce giant Alibaba Group and the avoidance of Russian financial services provider Sberbank of Russia also contributed to results.
 Meanwhile, two Russian energy companies, Lukoil and Gazprom, offset results as the companies were negatively impacted by the country’s conflict in Ukraine, which led to a slew of sanctions, a trading halt, and removal from key emerging markets benchmarks. Shares of Jinke Property Group, a Chinese real estate developer, declined following a negative earnings announcement and concerns of rising risk in the industry, which led to a halt of retail bond buying activity and a decline in issuer rating. South Korean steel producer POSCO and Brazilian iron ore producer Vale also detracted from performance for the fiscal year.

Issuer Risk: The portfolio will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the portfolio invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
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 portfolio to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
Focused Investments: To the extent the portfolio focuses its investments on a limited number of issuers, sectors, industries or geographic regions, it may be subject to increased risk and volatility.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2022?
After a strong start, U.S. equities declined over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, as growing concerns that a recession would be needed to tame rampant inflation led to a sharp decline in the second half of the period. The S&P 500® Index entered a bear market in 2022, recording its largest first-half decline since 1970, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index saw sharp declines in the first half of the year, falling to levels last seen in the final quarter of 2020, prior to the lift provided by news of highly effective COVID-19 vaccines.
 Despite a pickup in economic activity in the spring, the U.S. economy appeared to slow during the second quarter of 2022 as consumer sentiment was hurt by higher interest rates and rising prices.
Inflation surged, rising to an annual rate of 8.6% in May 2022, the highest level since December 1981.
 The S&P 500® Index declined 10.6% and the Russell 1000® Growth Index fell 18.8% during the period. Value stocks outpaced growth stocks by approximately 12% over the 12-month period. Energy stocks were a rare bright spot, surging in line with soaring oil and gas prices. The consumer discretionary, communication services, and information technology sectors fell the most, with ‘new technology’ stocks declining sharply as the prospect of higher interest rates lessened the appeal of companies that may not generate meaningful earnings until well into the future.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2022. At the sector level, the Fund’s returns were primarily driven by exposure to stocks in the communication services, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund’s higher growth profile relative to large-cap growth indexes hurt its performance in the challenging market environment.
 From an individual stock perspective, the largest detractors from absolute returns included technology conglomerate Meta Platforms, multinational technology company Amazon.com, financial technology company PayPal, home furnishings provider RH (Restoration Hardware), and social media platform Pinterest. Conversely, positions in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies Eli Lilly, Moderna, and Astrazeneca, as well as in variety store Dollar General and multinational health care and insurance company Unitedhealth Group, added to the Fund’s returns.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2022?
Between June 2021 and December 2021, global small-cap stocks closed nearly unchanged, while the second half of 2021 proved increasingly volatile for global equities. While developed market stocks ended the six-month period with strong gains, emerging markets retreated. Stocks ratcheted higher for much of the period, lifted by robust corporate earnings as companies recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. This helped to counter concerns over the COVID-19 Delta variant, the slowdown in China’s economy, and growing speculation that rising inflation would prompt central banks to reverse their extraordinary stimulus measures. However, sentiment was rattled following the emergence of the new, highly contagious Omicron strain of COVID-19 in late November, which investors feared could disrupt the global economic recovery. Major central banks’ pivot toward an inflation fighting stance also caused some volatility in December 2021, although
stocks closed the year on a positive note as Omicron-related fears eased.
 Between January 2022 and June 2022, global small caps suffered double-digit losses. Global equities tumbled over the first half of 2022, posting their worst two-quarter drop since 2009, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sparked the biggest energy price shock since the 1970s. Inflation accelerated sharply, and concerns grew that major central banks would need to be more aggressive in raising rates and that a period of negative growth would be needed to tame rising prices. China’s strict zero-COVID policy further undermined sentiment, as it led to lockdowns in major cities, which hurt demand and added to supply chain disruptions. As inflation surged to multi-decade highs, central banks in developed markets responded, although they were viewed as being behind the curve compared with many emerging market central banks, which had already started to raise rates. In March 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) hiked rates for the first time since 2018, and implemented two more increases in April and May, with each becoming more aggressive. The European Central Bank (ECB) finally abandoned its easing stance in the second quarter of 2022, signaling that it would likely raise rates by 0.25% in July and would implement more aggressive rate increases later in the year. China and Japan were outliers, with the former becoming more supportive, particularly of its beleaguered property sector, while the Bank of Japan maintained its stimulative stance.
 For the 12-month period, global small-cap stocks underperformed global large caps. Within the global small-cap universe, value stocks outperformed growth stocks. In absolute terms, all small-cap markets declined in value. European small caps registered the strongest losses, followed by small caps from Japan, the U.S., and Asia.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund is managed in such a way that stock selection is the key driver of relative returns, as the regional allocation of the Fund is neutral to the benchmark and there are risk controls to ensure that sector deviations do not become too large.
 The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 12 months ended June 30, 2022. In relative terms, the Fund’s Japanese portfolio outperformed its local
market slightly. The Asia, European, and U.S. portfolios lagged their respective benchmarks.
 During the period, the Fund saw a negative contribution from stock selection in consumer discretionary and health care. Information technology and communication services were the most important positive contributors to performance due to successful stock picking. Sector allocation was slightly negative. The Fund’s underweights in energy, real estate, and financials weighed on its relative performance. Nevertheless, the Fund’s underweights in utilities, consumer discretionary, and consumer staples companies were favorable.
 Fund performance for the 12-month period was most positively impacted by the following stocks: Switch (wireless telecommunications/U.S.), Perficient (IT services/U.S.), Matson (marine shipping/U.S.), LPL Financial (wealth management/U.S.), and Diamondback Energy (exploration and production/U.S.).
 Performance was most negatively impacted by the following stocks: Marathon Digital (data and transaction processors/U.S.), Natera (life science and diagnostics/U.S.), RH (home products stores/U.S.), Zur Rose Group (food and drug stores/Switzerland), and Cadiz (agricultural producers/U.S.).

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.
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 June 30, 2022?
Health care stocks were modestly lower during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, amid rising volatility and expectations of more aggressive central bank interest rate hikes to combat persistent inflation.
 Health care stocks ratcheted higher for the initial few months of the reporting period, lifted by robust corporate earnings as companies recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. This helped to counter concerns about the COVID-19 Delta variant, the slowdown in China’s economy, and growing speculation that rising inflation would prompt central banks to reverse their extraordinary stimulus measures. However, sentiment was rattled following the emergence of the new, highly contagious Omicron strain of COVID-19 in late November, which investors feared could disrupt the global economic recovery. Major central banks’ pivot toward an inflation-fighting stance also caused volatility in December 2021, although stocks closed the calendar year on a positive note as Omicron-related fears eased.
 Equities tumbled to start the calendar year 2022, as inflation proved more persistent than originally anticipated. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sparked the biggest energy price shock since the 1970s. Inflation accelerated sharply, and concerns grew that central banks would need to be more aggressive in raising rates and that a period of negative growth would be needed to tame rising prices. China’s strict zero-COVID policy further undermined sentiment as it led to lockdowns in major cities, which hurt demand and added to supply chain disruptions. There was a wide divergence in performance across equity styles, with high growth companies and those that may not generate meaningful earnings until well into the future significantly trailing their more value and defensive-oriented counterparts, given the rising concerns about inflation and corresponding rate hikes.
 Industry performance within the health care sector was varied, with two out of six key industry groups posting positive results for the period. Health care providers and services notched a double-digit advance, followed closely by positive results in pharmaceuticals, two areas of the market with more consistent earnings profiles and more moderate valuation levels. Meanwhile, health care technology, health care equipment and supplies, and life sciences tools and services were down significantly due to the pressure on earnings and valuations, while biotechnology was only slightly lower, thanks in part to a rebound toward the end of the reporting period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund trailed its benchmark for the reporting period. Performance was positively impacted by allocation decisions, including the timing decisions of overweighting life sciences tools and services earlier in the period and underweighting it later in the period. The underweight to health care technology also aided results. Stock picking trailed the benchmark overall, as positive stock selection in pharmaceuticals and life sciences tools and services was offset by selection in biotechnology and health care providers and services.
 Three pharmaceutical stocks were the largest contributors to performance. The top performer was Pfizer, which advanced due to consistent revenue and earnings results, thanks in part to COVID-19 vaccine demand and news that the company’s COVID-19 pill
would significantly reduce hospitalizations and deaths of high-risk patients. Eli Lilly rallied due to its robust drug pipeline, expectations of future demand from the company’s diabetes and obesity drug, and its defensive growth profile. AstraZeneca was a beneficiary of its strong pipeline of drugs across various cardiovascular, renal and metabolism, respiratory and immunology, oncology, rare disease, and other therapy areas. The Fund’s active overweight to clinical research services provider ICON and active underweight to genomic sequencing provider Illumina were additive to performance, as well.
 However, results were offset by Natera, a prenatal diagnostic testing provider, which was lower due to concerns about billing practices, litigation, and headwinds related to rising interest rates given the company’s lack of positive earnings. Align Technology, the designer and manufacturer of Invisalign® clear tooth aligners, was lower as investors increasingly questioned the near-term sales expectations amid a slowing economy. An active underweight allocation to UnitedHealth Group, the owner and manager of organized health systems, offset results given the company’s resilient long-term growth outlook. A position in Quotient, a provider of tests for blood grouping and serological disease screening, offset results given headwinds in the stock. The decision not to own Johnson & Johnson for the bulk of the period in favor of a group of other names offset results, as Johnson & Johnson outperformed the market on a relative basis due in part to its perceived defensiveness.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2022?
Over the first half of the reporting period, the performance of risk assets ranged from modestly negative to double-digit gains as markets digested strong corporate earnings results, data suggesting continued economic strength, and less accommodation from the Federal Reserve (the Fed). Over the second half of the reporting period, risk assets sold off sharply. Inflation-fighting central bank outlooks, elevated inflation, global recession fears, rising interest rates, a flattening yield curve, the war in Ukraine, and overseas COVID-19 policies all weighed on investor sentiment. In addition, many corporate management teams provided cautious outlooks, highlighting the difficult operating environment. Profit margin pressures, currency headwinds, ongoing supply chain issues, inventory buildup, declining advertising budgets, and evolving
consumer behaviors were some factors cited as impacting the ability to forecast earnings and sales.
 U.S. economic reports were mixed, with consumer sentiment reaching a historic low as rising inflation expectations more than offset continued labor market strength. Manufacturing and services surveys retreated but remained in positive territory. In addition, U.S. travel increased over the period, with airport screenings exceeding pre-pandemic levels by late June of 2022.
 In response to May’s inflation report and June’s consumer survey of longer-run inflation expectations, the Fed raised interest rates by 0.75% in June, following increases of 0.50% in May and 0.25% in March of 2022. These hikes brought the target rate range to between 1.50% and 1.75%. The Fed also commenced quantitative tightening in June. Against this backdrop, U.S. Treasury yields rose sharply, and the slope of the yield curve flattened into period-end.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund delivered a high level of monthly income during the 12 months ended June 30, 2022.
 With respect to the Fund’s return, the selloff across risk assets presented challenges during the reporting period, with most holdings detracting from performance. Social media and internet services exposures were lower due to advertising revenue concerns. Fears of slowing demand and rising costs contributed to weakness in e-commerce and apparel holdings. Positions in software and semiconductor companies also underperformed. Lastly, macroeconomic issues put pressure on a banking stock held in the Fund, among others.
 There were a few positive individual contributors. Top performers were concentrated in energy-related companies focused on exploration and production, and defensive companies within health care, including positions in managed care and pharmaceuticals. An electric vehicle manufacturer issuance also benefited the Fund.

investment advice. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and there is no guarantee that market forecasts will be realized.
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.
Issuer Risk: The portfolio will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the portfolio invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
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.
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.
Unrated Fixed Income Securities: If the quality of an unrated fixed income security is not accurately assessed, the portfolio may invest in a security with greater risk than intended.
Debt Instruments: Debt instruments are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk, may be speculative and may decline in value due to changes in interest rates or an issuer’s or counterparty’s deterioration or default.
Derivatives: Investments in derivatives such as futures, options, forwards, and swaps may increase volatility or cause a loss greater than the principal investment.
Convertible Securities: A convertible security may be called for redemption at a time and price unfavorable to the portfolio.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2022?
During the reporting period, U.S. equities plunged due to growing concerns that a recession would be needed to tame rampant inflation. The market posted two back-to-back quarterly declines for the first time since 2015. The S&P 500® Index entered a bear market, recording its largest decline for the first half of a year since 1970, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index recorded an even greater decline, tumbling more than 30% and falling to levels last seen in the final quarter of 2020, prior to the lift provided by news of highly effective COVID-19 vaccines. While S&P Global reported that 78% of the companies in the S&P 500® Index had exceeded earnings expectations, with average earnings per share growing 4.4% in the first quarter, there was growing concern that earnings were overstated, and that earnings growth could be lower going forward.
 The U.S. economy contracted by an annualized 1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, a sharp slowdown from the 6.9% growth rate seen in the fourth quarter of
2021, as surging imports and softer inventory growth more than offset solid consumer and business demand. Despite a pickup in economic activity in the spring, the U.S. economy appeared to slow during the second quarter of 2022, as consumer sentiment was hurt by higher interest rates and rising prices. The flash estimate of S&P Global’s June survey of U.S. manufacturing activity slumped to its lowest level in almost two years, while services activity slid to a five-month low. In contrast, inflation surged, rising to an annual rate of 8.6% in May 2022, the highest reading since December 1981. The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index tumbled to a record low of 50.0 in June, reflecting concerns over rising inflation.
 Against this backdrop, the Russell Midcap® Index returned -17.3%, underperforming the Russell 1000® Index’s return of -13.0%. Within the mid-cap universe, growth stocks underperformed value stocks by 19.6%.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed its benchmark primarily due to security selection, while sector allocation had a slightly positive effect. Stock picking within the information technology, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from returns. This was slightly offset by positive selection in the health care and communication services sectors. The Fund’s underweight in the communication services sector had a positive effect on returns and was balanced by the negative effect from overweighting the consumer staples sector.
 Among the Fund’s top relative contributors were power infrastructure contractor Quanta Services, waste management services operator Waste Management, petroleum refinery operator Valero Energy, and residential solar energy system provider Enphase Energy. Lack of exposure to electronic signature solutions provider DocuSign also contributed to improved returns.
 Performance detractors included fabric printing hardware provider Kornit Digital, home furnishing retailer RH, online employment marketplace operator Fiverr International, procurement and expense management software provider Coupa Software, and payment processor Shift4 Payments.
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.
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.
Issuer Risk: The portfolio will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the portfolio invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
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.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned -4.16%, Class C shares at NAV returned -4.91%, Class P shares at NAV returned -3.93%, Institutional Class shares at NAV returned -3.95%, Class R6 shares at NAV returned -3.85%, and Administrative Class shares at NAV returned -4.20%.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2022?
U.S. equities posted their worst decline for the first half of a year since 1970 and entered bear market territory in the second quarter of 2022, dragging 12-month returns negative for the period. After coming off a strong 2021, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) enacted its biggest interest rate hikes in nearly 30 years in the first half of 2022 with hopes of reining in blistering inflation. Toward the end of the reporting
period, value and quality stocks generally led the market against this volatile backdrop.
Within the Russell 1000® Value Index, the energy sector led returns with 40% gains, followed by strength from more defensive areas of the market, including utilities, health care, and consumer staples names. Conversely, more cyclical areas of the market, including communication services, information technology, and consumer discretionary, slumped double digits amid recession fears.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the 12 months ended June 30, 2022. Robust stock selection drove performance, led by strength across the information technology, health care, and industrials sectors. In contrast, stock selection was negative in just two sectors— energy and financials—over the reporting period.
Sector allocation detracted over the 12-month period, largely due to overweight positions in information technology and consumer discretionary, which dampened relative returns. Conversely, underweight positions in communication services and financials contributed to results.

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.
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 June 30, 2022?
International stocks offered little shelter from the global downturn in equities as rate hikes, inflation, and economic concerns upset markets over the 12-month period. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine early in 2022 sent shock waves through markets, precipitated a runup in oil prices, and resulted in global index provider MSCI deeming Russian stocks “uninvestable.”
 Within the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, the U.K. and North America held up on a relative basis, while the emerging markets and Europe ex-U.K. regions
registered the weakest returns over the period. The Index’s best performing sectors were energy, which gained 8%, followed by relative strength from utilities, financials, and consumer staples. Conversely, more cyclical areas of the market, including information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services suffered double-digit declines amid recession fears.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 12 months ended June 30, 2022. Stock selection was positive over the reporting period, largely due to strong stock picking in the information technology and materials sectors. These gains were only somewhat offset by negative selection in the energy and utilities sectors.
 Sector allocation detracted over the period, largely due to overweight positions in information technology and real estate, which dampened relative returns. In contrast, an underweight in consumer discretionary and an overweight in financials benefitted results.
 By region, selection was strong across Japan and Europe ex-U.K., while selection within the emerging markets and the U.K. dampened relative returns. From an allocation standpoint, an overweight in North America contributed while an overweight in the emerging markets detracted from performance for the 12-month period.
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.
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.
Issuer Risk: The portfolio will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the portfolio invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
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 portfolio to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.

Fund Summary (Unaudited)
Portfolio Manager Commentary by
NFJ Investment Group, LLC
The Fund is diversified and has an investment objective of seeking long-term growth of capital and income. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objective.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned -6.36%, Class C shares at NAV returned -7.05%, Class P shares at NAV returned -6.10%, Institutional Class shares at NAV returned -6.09%, and Administrative Class shares at NAV returned -6.28%, and Class R6 shares at NAV returned -12.65% from October 29, 2021 (inception date) through June 30, 2022. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Fund’s style-specific benchmark appropriate for comparison, returned -6.82%.
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 June 30, 2022?
U.S. equities posted their worst decline for the first half of a year since 1970 and entered bear market territory in the second quarter of 2022, dragging 12-month returns negative for the period. After coming off a strong 2021, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) enacted its biggest interest rate hikes in nearly 30 years in the first half of 2022 with hopes of reining in blistering inflation. Toward the end of the reporting
period, value and quality stocks generally led the market against this volatile backdrop.
 Within the Russell 1000® Value Index, the energy sector led returns with 40% gains, followed by strength from more defensive areas of the market, including utilities, health care, and consumer staples names. Conversely, more cyclical areas of the market, including communication services, information technology, and consumer discretionary, slumped double digits amid recession fears.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the 12 months ended June 30, 2022. Robust stock selection drove performance, led by strength across the information technology, health care, and industrials sectors. In contrast, selection was negative in just three sectors— financials, utilities, and energy—over the reporting period.
 Sector allocation detracted over the 12-month period, largely due to an overweight in information technology and an underweight in consumer staples, both of which dampened relative returns. Conversely, underweight positions in communication services and financials aided results.
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.
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.
Issuer Risk: The portfolio will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the portfolio invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
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.
Prospectus: For additional information on risks, please see the Fund’s prospectus.

U.S. equities posted their worst decline for the first half of a year since 1970 and entered bear market territory in the second quarter of 2022, dragging 12-month returns negative for the period. After coming off a strong 2021, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) enacted its biggest interest rate hikes in nearly 30 years in the first half of 2022 with hopes of reining in blistering inflation.

Conversely, more cyclical areas of the market, including communication services, consumer discretionary, and information technology, as well as health care, slumped double digits amid recession fears.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the 12 months ended June 30, 2022. Robust stock selection drove performance, led by strength across the health care, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors. In contrast, stock selection was negative in just one sector—consumer staples—over the reporting period.
Sector allocation had a more neutral impact over the 12-month period. An underweight in energy and overweight in consumer discretionary dampened relative returns. However, these negative impacts were largely offset by underweight positions in health care and communication services, which contributed to results.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2022?
During the reporting period, U.S. equities plunged due to growing concerns that a recession would be needed to tame rampant inflation. The market posted two back-to-back quarterly declines for the first time since 2015. The S&P 500® Index entered a bear market, recording its largest decline for the first half of a year since 1970, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index recorded an even greater decline, tumbling more than 30% and falling to levels last seen in the final quarter of 2020, prior to the lift provided by news of highly effective COVID-19 vaccines. While S&P Global reported that 78% of the companies in the S&P 500® Index had exceeded earnings expectations, with average earnings per share growing 4.4% in the first quarter, there was growing concern that earnings were overstated, and that earnings growth could be lower going forward.
 The U.S. economy contracted by an annualized 1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, a sharp slowdown from
the 6.9% growth rate seen in the fourth quarter of 2021, as surging imports and softer inventory growth more than offset solid consumer and business demand. Despite a pickup in economic activity in the spring, the U.S. economy appeared to slow during the second quarter of 2022, as consumer sentiment was hurt by higher interest rates and rising prices. The flash estimate of S&P Global’s June survey of U.S. manufacturing activity slumped to its lowest level in almost two years, while services activity slid to a five-month low. In contrast, inflation surged, rising to an annual rate of 8.6% in May 2022, the highest reading since December 1981. The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index tumbled to a record low of 50.0 in June, reflecting concerns over rising inflation.
 Against this backdrop, the Russell 2000® Index returned -25.2%, underperforming the Russell 1000® Index’s return of -13.0%.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund outperformed its benchmark primarily due to strong security selection, with sector allocation also having a positive effect. Stock picking in health care was the primary contributor to returns, followed by the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. This was offset by negative selection in the real estate, financials, and information technology sectors. The Fund’s overweight position in consumer staples contributed to returns. This was offset by the Fund being underweight in the financials sector.
 Among the Fund’s top relative contributors were soft drink producer and distributor Coca-Cola Consolidated, oil producer Magnolia Oil & Gas, transpacific shipping operator Matson, and building products producer Builders FirstSource. Lack of exposure to movie theater operator AMC Entertainment also contributed to performance.
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.
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.
Issuer Risk: The portfolio will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the portfolio invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
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 Investing: Investing in foreign securities subjects the portfolio to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
Prospectus: For additional information on risks, please see the Fund’s prospectus.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2022?
After a strong start, global equities declined over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, as growing concerns that a recession would be needed to tame rampant inflation led to a sharp decline in the second half of the fiscal year. Stocks tumbled over the first half of 2022, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sparked the biggest energy price shock since the 1970s. Inflation accelerated sharply, and concerns grew that major central banks would need to be more aggressive in raising rates. China’s strict zero-COVID-19 policy further undermined sentiment as it led to lockdowns in major cities, which hurt demand and added to supply chain disruptions.
 At the sector level, energy was a rare bright spot in the major indexes, with share prices surging along with oil and gas prices. Information technology and
related stocks underperformed the broader market during the period. High growth technology stocks slumped as the prospect of higher interest rates lessened the appeal of companies that may not generate meaningful earnings until well into the future.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2022. The Fund’s exposure to high growth technology stocks hurt its performance in a challenging market environment.
 From an individual stock perspective, the largest detractors from absolute returns included multinational technology company Amazon.com, identity and access management company Okta, technology conglomerate Meta Platforms, cybersecurity provider Crowdstrike Holdings, and communications provider Twilio.
 Conversely, positions in semiconductor supplier ON Semiconductor, chip manufacturer GlobalFoundries, work management platform Asana, cloud-based software company Salesforce.com, and technology conglomerate Cisco Systems added to the Fund’s returns.

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.
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.
Issuer Risk: The portfolio will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other
instruments in which the portfolio invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
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.
Focused Investments: To the extent the portfolio focuses its investments on a limited number of issuers, sectors, industries or geographic regions, it may be subject to increased risk and volatility.
Foreign Investing: Investing in foreign securities subjects the portfolio to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.
Derivatives: Investments in derivatives such as futures, options, forwards, and swaps may increase volatility or cause a loss greater than the principal investment.

(4) Annualized for periods less than one year.
(5) The Funds will also indirectly bear their prorated share of expenses of any underlying funds in which they invest. Such expenses are not included in the calculation of this ratio.
(6) Due to a change in expense cap, the ratio shown is a blended expense ratio.
(7) Amount is less than $0.005 per share.
(8) The share class is currently under its expense limitation.
(9) See Note 4D in the Notes to Financial Statements for information on recapture of expenses previously reimbursed.
(10) Payment from affiliate increased the end of period net asset value and total return by less than $0.01 and 0.01%, respectively.
(11) Inception date.
(12) Portfolio turnover is representative of the Fund for the entire period.
(13) Payment from affiliate had no impact on total return.
(14) The character of a portion of the distribution was redesignated from net investment income to net realized capital gain for the year ended June 30, 2019. The per share amount for Class C differs from other classes, as at the time the distribution was made, Class C had minimal distributable net investment income, therefore no redesignation for Class C was made.

The Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund and Small-Cap Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, Institutional Class shares, and Class R6 shares. The Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Technology Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, Institutional Class shares and Administrative Class shares. The Global Small-Cap Fund, Health Sciences Fund, and Income & Growth Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, and Institutional Class 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.
On May 21, 2021, all Class R shares for the Focused Growth Fund, Income & Growth Fund, Mid-Cap Growth Fund, NFJ Dividend Value Fund, NFJ International Value Fund, NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund, NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund, and NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund were converted into Class A shares of the respective Fund.
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 February 26, 2021, 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 P shares, Institutional Class shares, Class R6 shares, and Administrative Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or CDSC.
Class P shares are offered primarily through certain asset allocation, wrap fee and other similar programs offered by broker-dealers and other intermediaries (“service agents”) that have established a shareholder servicing relationship with the Trust on behalf of their customers. Such programs established with broker-dealers or financial intermediaries may purchase shares only if the program for which the shares are being acquired will maintain an omnibus or pooled account for each fund. Class P shares may also be offered for direct investment by other investors such as pension and profit sharing plans, employee benefit trusts and plan alliances, endowments, foundations and corporations.
Institutional Class shares are offered primarily to clients of financial intermediaries that (i) charge such clients an ongoing fee for advisory, investment, consulting, or similar services; or (ii) have entered into an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or transfer agent to offer Institutional Class shares through a no-load network or platform. Such clients may include pension and profit sharing plans, other employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations and corporations. Institutional Class shares are also offered to private and institutional clients of, or referred by, the adviser, a subadviser or their affiliates, and to Trustees of the Funds and trustees/directors of affiliated open- and closed-end funds, and directors, officers and employees of Virtus and its affiliates. If you are eligible to purchase and do purchase Institutional Class shares, you will pay no sales charge at any time. There are no distribution and service fees applicable to Institutional Class shares.
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.
Administrative Class shares are offered primarily through employee benefit plan alliances, broker-dealers, and other intermediaries, and each Fund pays service or distribution fees to such entities for services they provide to Administrative Class shareholders.
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 P shares, Institutional Class shares, Class R6 shares, and Administrative Class

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
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. 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 securities, 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 securities 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 (“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.
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 is 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
119

  interest method. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Conversion premium is not amortized. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds.
  Dividend income from REIT and MLP investments 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 and MLP 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. Convertible Securities
  Certain Funds may invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds’ investments in convertible securities include features which render them sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. The value of structured/synthetic convertible securities can be affected by interest rate changes and credit risks of the issuer. Such securities may be structured in ways that limit their potential for capital appreciation, and the entire value of the security may be at risk of loss depending on the performance of the underlying equity security. Consequently, the Funds are exposed to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but typically still less than that of the underlying stock.
  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. 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.
J. Warrants
  The Funds may receive warrants. Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt security or preferred stock and that give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price. Warrants may be freely transferable and are often traded on major exchanges. Warrants normally have a life that is measured in years and entitle the holder to buy common stock of a company at a price that is usually higher than the market price at the time the warrant is issued. Warrants may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. Generally, warrants do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant, the warrant will expire worthless. Warrants may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities. Similarly, the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an equity security warrant may be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock. Warrants may relate to the purchase of equity or debt securities. Debt obligations with warrants attached to purchase equity securities have many characteristics of convertible securities and their prices may, to some degree, reflect the performance of the underlying stock. Debt obligations also may be issued with warrants attached to purchase additional debt securities at the same coupon rate. A decline in interest rates would permit a Fund to sell such warrants at a profit. If interest rates rise, these warrants would generally expire with no value.
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.
  As of June 30, 2022, none of the Funds were lending under the agreement with BNYM.
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.
121


VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2022
A. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
  A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by a Fund, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Fund are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of the contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without the delivery of foreign currency.
  During the fiscal year (“the period”) ended June 30, 2022, none of the Funds entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
B. Options Contracts
  An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed upon price. Certain Funds may purchase or write both put and call options on portfolio securities. A Fund doing so is subject to equity price risk and/or foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives.
  When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. Holdings of the Fund designated to cover outstanding written options are noted in the Schedules of Investments. Purchased options are reported as an asset within “Investment in securities at value” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Written options are reported as a liability within “Written options at value.” Changes in value of the purchased option are included in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments” in the Statements of Operations. Changes in value of written options are included in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from written options” in the Statements of Operations.
  If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the
premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” in the Statements of Operations. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as “Net realized gain (loss) from written options” in the Statements of Operations.
  The risk in writing call options is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price/foreign currency rate of the referenced
security/currency increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price/foreign currency rate of the referenced security/currency decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. Writers (sellers) of options are subject to unlimited risk of loss, as the seller will be obligated to deliver or take delivery of the security at a predetermined price which may, upon exercise of the option, be significantly different from the then-market value.
  During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Income & Growth Fund and Technology Fund invested in written covered call options contracts in an attempt to manage equity price risk and with the purpose of generating realized gains.
  The following is a summary of derivative instruments categorized by primary risk exposure, presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at June 30, 2022:

C. 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 purchased options and futures and centrally cleared swaps 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 and centrally cleared swaps 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,
123


VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2022
  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.
D. 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 tables present the Funds’ 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 June 30, 2022.
    
At June 30, 2022, the Funds’ derivative assets and liabilities (by type) are as follows:

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 June 30, 2022, it retained net commissions of $1,152 for Class A shares and CDSC of $60 and $142 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% for Class A shares and Administrative Class shares, and 1.00% for Class C shares. Class P shares, Institutional Class 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.
F. Administrator and Transfer Agent
  Virtus Fund Services, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Virtus, serves as the administrator and transfer agent to the Funds.
  For the period ended June 30, 2022, the Funds incurred administration fees totaling $13,461 which are included in the Statements of Operations within the line item “Administration and accounting fees.” The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly.
  For the period ended June 30, 2022, the Funds incurred transfer agent fees totaling $6,002 which are included in the Statements of Operations within the line item “Transfer agent fees and expenses.” The fees are calculated daily and paid monthly.
G. Investments with Affiliates
  The Funds are permitted to purchase assets from or sell assets to certain affiliates under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of assets by the Funds from or to another fund or portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers comply with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price.
  During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Funds did not engage in any transactions pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act.
  Outside of Rule 17a-7 transactions, other investments with affiliated issuers are separately reported in this footnote. An affiliated issuer includes any company in which the Fund held 5% or more of a company’s outstanding voting shares at any point during the period, as well as other circumstances where an investment adviser or subadviser to the Fund is deemed to exercise, directly or indirectly, a certain level of control over the company.
  A summary of the Funds’ total long-term and short-term purchases and sales of the respective shares of the affiliated investments during the period ended June 30, 2022, is as follows:

H. Trustee Compensation
  The Trust provides a deferred compensation plan for its Trustees who receive compensation from the Trust. Under the deferred compensation plan, Trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Trust, and then, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, in turn, may be invested in the shares of affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds selected by the participating Trustees. Investments in such instruments are included in “Other assets” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at June 30, 2022.
  In calendar year 2018 and certain other periods prior to January 1, 2020, the Funds maintained a different deferred compensation plan pursuant to which each Trustee who was not affiliated with AllianzGI U.S. had the opportunity to elect not to receive all or a portion of his or her fees from the respective Fund on a current basis, but instead to receive in a subsequent period chosen by the Trustee an amount equal to the value of such compensation if such compensation had been invested in one or more series of Virtus Investment Trust (then known as Allianz Funds) and Virtus Strategy Trust (then known as Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust) selected by the such Trustee from and after the normal payment dates for such compensation. The deferred compensation program was closed to new deferrals effective January 1, 2020, and all Trustee fees earned with respect to service in calendar year 2020 were paid in cash, on a current basis. The Trustees do not currently receive any pension or retirement benefits from the Funds.
  In addition to the Trustee fees deferred in the current period, the Funds still have obligations with respect to Trustee fees deferred in 2018 and in other periods prior to January 1, 2020, and will continue to have such obligations until all deferred Trustee fees are paid out pursuant to the terms of the applicable deferred compensation plan.

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 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 June 30, 2022, the following Funds held securities issued by various companies in specific sectors as detailed below:
Fund   Sector   Percentage of
Total Investments
Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund

  Banks   27%
Health Sciences Fund

  Pharmaceuticals   45
NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund

  Financials   31
Technology Fund

  Software   29
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 11. Redemption Facility
($ reported in thousands)
On June 14, 2021, the Funds and certain other affiliated funds entered into an $250,000 unsecured line of credit (“Credit Agreement”). 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 June 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.

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.

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. Regulatory Matters and Litigation
From time to time, the Trust, the Funds, the Adviser 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 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 the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04.
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 the following subsequent events require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements:
On May 17, 2022, it was announced that Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“AllianzGI”) had settled certain government charges about matters unrelated to the Funds. As a result of the settlement, AllianzGI is no longer allowed to manage U.S. registered open-end and closed-end funds after a transition period of up to 10 weeks. As a result, the following changes took place on or about July 25, 2022:

Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Virtus Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, Virtus Focused Growth Fund, Virtus Global Small-Cap Fund, Virtus Health Sciences Fund, Virtus Income & Growth Fund, Virtus Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Virtus Small-Cap Fund, Virtus Technology Fund, Virtus NFJ Dividend Value Fund, Virtus NFJ International Value Fund, Virtus NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund, Virtus NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund, and Virtus NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund (constituting Virtus Investment Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of June 30, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended June 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 June 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 June 30, 2022 and each of 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 June 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodians, transfer agents, agent bank 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.

Statutory Prospectus dated October 28, 2021, as supplemented
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INVESTORS
The following changes, as approved by the Board of Trustees of Virtus Investment Trust (the “Trust”), for the Virtus Focused Growth Fund (the “Fund”) will be effective July 25, 2022.
Silvant Capital Management LLC, (“Silvant”), an affiliate of Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc., will manage the Fund as subadviser.

The current subadviser, Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC. (“AllianzGI U.S.”) will be removed as subadviser of the Fund and, accordingly, all references to AllianzGI U.S., as subadviser of the Fund, and to Raphael L. Edelman and Kimberlee Millar, CFA, as portfolio managers of the Fund, will be removed from the Fund’s prospectuses.

Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. the Fund’s investment adviser, continues to serve as investment adviser of the Fund.
Additional disclosure changes resulting from the change in subadviser are described below.
The disclosure in footnote 3 under the table in “Fees and Expenses” will be replaced with the following:
(3) Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reimbursement reflect the effect of a contractual agreement by Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”) to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the fund to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, excluding interest, any other fees or expenses relating to financial leverage or borrowing (such as commitment, amendment and renewal expenses on credit or redemption facilities), tax, extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring expenses, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, exceed 0.67% for Institutional Class shares, 0.62% for Class R6 shares and 0.92% for Administrative Class shares through September 20, 2023.

The Expense Limitation Agreement is terminable by mutual agreement of the parties.
The disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” in the summary prospectus and the summary section of the statutory prospectus will be replaced with the following:
The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies with market capitalizations of at least $1 billion. The fund is “non-diversified,” which means that it may invest a significant portion of its assets in a relatively small number of issuers, which may increase risk. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in non-U.S. securities (but no more than 10% in any one non-U.S. country or 10% in emerging market securities). At times, depending on market conditions, the fund may also invest a significant percentage of its assets in a small number of business sectors or industries. The portfolio managers normally select 25 to 45 stocks for the fund’s portfolio.
The portfolio managers attempt to include securities in the fund’s portfolio that exhibit the greatest combination of earnings growth potential, quality (as reflected in consistent business fundamentals) and attractive valuation.
The portfolio managers ordinarily look for several of the following characteristics when analyzing specific companies for possible investments: higher than average growth and strong potential for capital appreciation; substantial capacity for growth in revenue, cash flow or earnings through either an expanding market or expanding market share; a strong balance sheet; superior management; strong commitment to research and product development; and differentiated or superior products and services or a steady stream of new products and services.


The “Management” section in the summary prospectus and in the summary section of the statutory prospectus, will be replaced in its entirety with the following:
The fund’s investment adviser is Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”).
The fund’s subadviser is Silvant Capital Management LLC (“Silvant”).

> Brandi Allen, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager of Silvant. Ms. Allen has served as a portfolio manager of the fund since July 2022.
In the section “More Information about Risks Related to Principal Investment strategies” the disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” starting on page 89 of the statutory prospectus relating to the fund will be replaced with the following:
The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies with market capitalizations of at least $1 billion. The fund is “non-diversified,” which means that it may invest a significant portion of its assets in a relatively small number of issuers, which may increase risk. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in non-U.S. securities (but no more than 10% in any one non-U.S. country or 10% in emerging market securities). At times, depending on market conditions, the fund may also invest a significant percentage of its assets in a small number of business sectors or industries. The specific business sectors and industries in which the fund invests a significant percentage of its assets are expected to change over time. The portfolio managers normally select 25 to 45 stocks for the fund’s portfolio. The portfolio managers attempt to include securities in the fund’s portfolio that exhibit the greatest combination of earnings growth potential, quality (as reflected in consistent business fundamentals) and attractive valuation.
In analyzing specific companies for possible investments, the portfolio managers ordinarily look for several of the following characteristics: higher than average growth and strong potential for capital appreciation; substantial capacity for growth in revenue, cash flow or earnings through either an expanding market or expanding market share; a strong balance sheet; superior management; strong commitment to research and product development; and differentiated or superior products and services or a steady stream of new products and services. Investments are not restricted to companies with a record of dividend payments. The portfolio managers sell securities as they deem appropriate in accordance with sound investment practices and the fund’s investment objective and as necessary for redemption purposes.
The fund may utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments. Although the fund did not invest significantly in derivative instruments as of the most recent fiscal year end, it may do so at any time. Opportunistically, depending on market conditions, the portfolio managers may seek to establish or augment fund exposure to equity securities in part through the use of derivatives, in particular through combinations of listed options. For example, the portfolio managers may write (sell) out-of-the-money put options on a particular issuer and use a portion of the premiums received to purchase call options on the same issuer at a higher strike price, thus expressing a positive outlook on the stock without having to commit the full current stock price needed to purchase it outright. In response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, the fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The fund may be less likely to achieve its investment objective when it does so.
Under “The Adviser” on page 127 of the statutory prospectus, the row referencing the Fund in the table listing subadvisers of the funds of the Trust will be replaced with the following:
Virtus Silvant Focused Growth Fund Silvant
Under “The Subadvisers” beginning on page 128 of the statutory prospectus, the first and second paragraphs will be deleted. Additionally, the following disclosure will be added for Silvant:


Silvant, an affiliate of VIA, is located at 3333 Piedmont Road, Suite 1500, Atlanta, Georgia 30305. Silvant is an investment adviser registered with the SEC.

As of June 30, 2022, Silvant had approximately $669 million in assets under management. Silvant focuses on managing growth equity products for a diverse range of institutional clients.
In the “Portfolio Management” Section beginning on page 129 of the statutory prospectus, the AllianzGI U.S. section will be deleted in its entirety, and a new section will be added for Silvant as follows:

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INVESTORS
The following changes, as approved by the Board of Trustees of Virtus Investment Trust (the “Trust”), for the Virtus Global Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) will be effective July 25, 2022.

The Fund will be renamed the Virtus KAR Global Small-Cap Fund.
The portfolio managers who are currently jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund will continue to manage the Fund with the same investment strategies and risks as currently disclosed, as employees of VIA.
Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. the Fund’s investment adviser, continues to serve as investment adviser of the Fund.
Additionally, as approved by the Board of Trustees of Virtus Investment Trust, effective September 19, 2022, the Fund’s non-fundamental investment policy to seek to achieve its objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in companies with market capitalizations comparable to those of companies included in the MSCI World Small-Cap Index (between $105.8 million and $25.5 billion as of June 30, 2021) will change as reflected in the revised Principal Investment Strategies disclosure below.
Additional disclosure changes resulting from the change in subadviser are described below.
The disclosure in footnote 3 under the table in “Fees and Expenses” will be replaced with the following:
(3) Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reimbursement reflect the effect of a contractual agreement by Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”) to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the fund to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, excluding interest, any other fees or expenses relating to financial leverage or borrowing (such as commitment, amendment and renewal expenses on credit or redemption facilities), tax, extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring expenses, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, exceed 1.28% for Institutional Class shares through September 20, 2023. Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, VIA may recoup amounts waived or reimbursed in the preceding three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit in effect at the time of such waiver/reimbursement or recoupment. The Expense Limitation Agreement also permits recoupment by a former adviser of amounts waived or reimbursed by it within the three preceding years under an expense limitation arrangement in effect before VIA became adviser to the fund. The Expense Limitation Agreement is terminable by mutual agreement of the parties.
The disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” in the summary prospectus and the summary section of the statutory prospectus will be replaced with the following:


The fund pursues long-term capital appreciation in the small capitalization market while seeking to incur less risk than the small capitalization market. The fund invests in a select group of small market capitalization companies believed by the fund’s subadviser to possess sustainable competitive advantages at prices the subadviser deems attractive. The fund invests in U.S. and non-U.S. companies.
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in common stocks of global small-capitalization companies. The fund’s subadviser considers smallcapitalization companies to be those companies that, at the time of initial purchase, have market capitalizations of less than $10 billion. The fund intends to diversify its investments globally among countries and normally to have represented in the portfolio business activities of a number of different countries, both U.S. and non-U.S. In determining whether an issuer is economically tied to a non-U.S. country, the subadviser primarily considers: (i) whether at least 50% of the issuer’s revenues or profits are attributable to goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in, a non-U.S. country; (ii) whether the issuer has at least 50% of its assets in a non-U.S. country; and (iii) whether the principal exchange listing for the issuer’s securities or the issuer’s headquarters is in a non-U.S. country. Equity securities in which the fund invests include common stocks, preferred stocks and Depositary Receipts (DRs). The fund may invest in emerging markets issuers. Generally, the fund invests in approximately 30-60 securities at any given time.
The disclosure under the “Principal Risks” in the summary prospectus and in the summary section of the statutory prospectus will be restated as follows:
> Market Volatility Risk. 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, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness 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 portfolio manager(s) to invest the fund’s assets as intended.
> Issuer Risk. The fund will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the fund invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
> Equity Securities Risk. The value of the stocks held by the fund may be negatively affected by the financial market, industries in which the fund invests, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or in small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
> Small and Medium Market Capitalization Risk. The fund’s investments in small and medium market capitalization companies may increase the volatility and risk of loss to the fund, as compared with investments in larger, more established companies.
> Foreign Investing Risk. 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.
> Emerging Market Risk. Emerging markets securities may be more volatile, or more greatly affected by negative conditions, than those of their counterparts in more established foreign markets.
> Limited Number of Investments Risk. Because the fund may have 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.
> Depositary Receipts Risk. Investments in foreign companies through depositary receipts may expose the fund to the same risks as direct investments in securities of foreign issuers.
> Preferred Stocks Risk. Preferred stocks may decline in price, fail to pay dividends when expected, or be illiquid.
> Redemption Risk. One or more large shareholders or groups of shareholders may redeem their holdings in the fund, resulting in an adverse impact on remaining shareholders in the fund by causing the fund to take actions it would not otherwise have taken.
> Currency Rate Risk. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect the value of the fund’s shares.
> Liquidity Risk. Certain securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as U.S. Government securities or common stocks. To the extent the fund invests in less liquid securities or the level of liquidity in a particular market is constrained, the lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair value.


The “Management” section in the summary prospectus and in the summary section of the statutory prospectus, will be replaced in its entirety with the following:
The fund’s investment adviser is Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”).
The fund’s subadviser is Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC (“KAR”).
Portfolio Management
> Todd Beiley, CFA, portfolio manager and senior research analyst at KAR. Mr. Beiley has served as a portfolio manager of the fund since 2022.
> Craig Thrasher, CFA, portfolio manager and senior research analyst at KAR. Mr. Thrasher has served as a portfolio manager of the fund since 2022.
In the section “More Information about Risks Related to Principal Investment strategies” the disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” starting on page 90 of the statutory prospectus relating to the fund will be replaced with the following:
The fund pursues long-term capital appreciation in the small capitalization market while seeking to incur less risk than the small capitalization market.

Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowing for investment purposes) in common stocks of global small--capitalization companies.

Additional disclosure changes resulting from the change in subadviser are described below.
The disclosure in footnote 3 under the table in “Fees and Expenses” will be replaced with the following:
(3) Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reimbursement reflect the effect of a contractual agreement by Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”) to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the fund to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, excluding interest, any other fees or expenses relating to financial leverage or borrowing (such as commitment, amendment and renewal expenses on credit or redemption facilities), tax, extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring expenses, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, exceed 1.12% for Institutional Class shares, through September 20, 2023. Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, VIA may recoup amounts waived or reimbursed in the preceding three years, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expense limit in effect at the time of such waiver/reimbursement or recoupment. The Expense Limitation Agreement also permits recoupment by a former adviser of amounts waived or reimbursed by it within the three preceding years under an expense limitation arrangement in effect before VIA became adviser to the fund. The Expense Limitation Agreement is terminable by mutual agreement of the parties.
The disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” in the summary prospectus and the summary section of the statutory prospectus will be replaced with the following:
The fund pursues long-term capital appreciation in health sciences-related companies. The fund invests in a select group of health science-related companies believed by the fund’s subadviser to possess sustainable competitive advantages at prices the subadviser deems attractive.
The fund seeks to achieve its objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in health sciences-related companies. The fund considers health sciencesrelated companies to include companies that design, manufacture or sell products or services used for or in connection with healthcare, medicine or life sciences. The fund will invest primarily in common stocks and other equity securities. Although the fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization, the fund 2 does not currently intend to invest more than 15% of its assets in companies with market capitalizations below $1 billion. The fund may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. companies, and currently expects the majority of its non-U.S. investments will normally be in Asia and Western Europe. The fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in emerging market securities (but no more than 10% in any one emerging market country). The fund may invest in securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs). Generally, the fund invests in approximately 25 to 40 securities at any given time.
The disclosure under the “Principal Risks” in the summary prospectus and in the summary section of the statutory prospectus will be restated as follows:


> Market Volatility Risk. 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, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness 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 portfolio manager(s) to invest the fund’s assets as intended.
> Issuer Risk. The fund will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the fund invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
> Equity Securities Risk. The value of the stocks held by the fund may be negatively affected by the financial market, industries in which the fund invests, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or in small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
> Focused Investment Risk (Health Sciences-Related Risk). To the extent the fund focuses its investments on a limited number of issuers, sectors, industries or geographic regions, it may be subject to increased risk and volatility. Risks affecting companies in the health sciences sector include new government regulations or changes to existing regulations, changes in government subsidy and reimbursement levels and product or service approvals, rapid obsolescence of products or services, dramatic fluctuations of economic prospects and healthcare-related liability issues.
> Small and Medium Market Capitalization Companies Risk. The fund’s investments in small and medium market capitalization companies may increase the volatility and risk of loss to the fund, as compared with investments in larger, more established companies.
> Currency Rate Risk. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect the value of the fund’s shares.
> Depositary Receipts Risk. Investments in foreign companies through depositary receipts may expose the fund to the same risks as direct investments in securities of foreign issuers.
> Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign investing risk may be particularly high to the extent that the fund invests in emerging market securities. Emerging markets securities may be more volatile, or more greatly affected by negative conditions, than those of their counterparts in more established foreign markets.
> Foreign Investing Risk. 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.
> IPO Risk. Securities purchased in initial public offerings have no trading history, limited issuer information and increased volatility.
> Liquidity Risk. Certain securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as U.S. Government securities or common stocks. To the extent the fund invests in less liquid securities or the level of liquidity in a particular market is constrained, the lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair value.
> Portfolio Turnover Risk. High levels of portfolio turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment performance.
> Preferred Stocks Risk. Preferred stocks may decline in price, fail to pay dividends when expected, or be illiquid.
The “Management” section in the summary prospectus and in the summary section of the statutory prospectus, will be replaced in its entirety with the following:
The fund’s investment adviser is Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”).
The fund’s subadviser is Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC (“KAR”).
Portfolio Management
> Chris Armbruster, CFA, portfolio manager and senior research analyst at KAR. Mr. Armbruster has served as a portfolio manager of the fund since 2022.
> Jon Christensen, CFA, portfolio manager and senior research analyst at KAR. Mr. Christensen has served as a portfolio manager of the fund since 2022.


In the section “More Information about Risks Related to Principal Investment strategies” the disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” starting on page 92 of the statutory prospectus relating to the fund will be replaced with the following:
The fund pursues long-term capital appreciation in health sciences-related companies. The fund invests in a select group of health science-related companies believed by the fund’s subadviser to possess sustainable competitive advantages at prices the subadviser deems attractive.
The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in health sciences-related companies. The fund considers health sciences-related companies to include companies that design, manufacture or sell products or services used for or in connection with healthcare, medicine or life sciences, in each case as determined by the fund’s portfolio managers. The fund will concentrate more than 25% of its assets in the healthcare industry. These companies include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology research firms, companies that sell medical products, companies that own or operate healthcare facilities and companies provide healthcare services. The fund will invest primarily in common stocks and other equity securities, such as preferred stocks, depositary receipts and warrants. Although the fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization, the fund does not currently intend to invest more than 15% of its assets in companies with market capitalizations below $1 billion. The fund may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. companies, and currently expects the majority of its non-U.S. investments will normally be in Asia and Western Europe. The fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in emerging market securities (but no more than 10% in any one emerging market country). The fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs). Generally, the fund invests in approximately 25 to 40 securities at any given time.
The fund typically seeks to invest across a range of different types of health sciences-related companies, although the sizes of allocations to individual issuers can vary significantly. The fund’s portfolio managers believe that inefficiencies in the health care space create opportunities for an actively managed investment process. The team relies on its experience recognizing dynamic changes in health care trends, industries and companies to identify what it believes are the best opportunities from a top-down and bottom-up investment identification. The portfolio managers sell securities they deem appropriate in accordance with sound investment practices and the fund’s investment objectives and as necessary for redemption purposes.
In response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, the fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The fund may be less likely to achieve its investment objective when it does so.
In the section “More Information About Risks Related to Principal Investment Strategies” the table beginning on page 109 of the statutory prospectus will be amended by changing the entries for the fund to reflect an “X” in the row for each of Currency Rate, Depositary Receipts, Emerging Market, Equity Securities, Focused Investments, Foreign Investing, IPO, Issuer, Liquidity, Market Volatility, Portfolio Turnover, Preferred Stocks and Small and Medium Market Capitalization, thereby indicating that those are the listed risks applicable to the Fund.

> Sowmdeb Sen, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of Silvant. Mr. Sen has served as a portfolio manager of the fund since July 2022.
In the section “More Information about Risks Related to Principal Investment Strategies” the disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” starting on page 89 of the statutory prospectus relating to the fund will be replaced with the following:
The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in equity securities of medium-sized companies. The fund currently defines medium-sized companies as those having market capitalizations comparable to those companies included in the Russell Midcap Growth Index (between $328 million and $46.5 billion as of June 30, 2022). Under normal circumstances, the fund invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies, but may invest a portion of its assets in non-U.S. securities, including through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). The fund may invest in securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs).


The portfolio managers employ a bottom-up, fundamental investment process to construct a diversified portfolio of U.S. mid-cap growth companies. The fundamental investment process is supported by a broad research platform. In analyzing specific companies for possible investment, the portfolio managers ordinarily look for several of the following characteristics: higher than average growth and strong potential for capital appreciation; substantial capacity for growth in revenue through either an expanding market or expanding market share; a strong balance sheet; superior management; strong commitment to research and product development; differentiated or superior products and services; and a sustainable competitive advantage. The portfolio managers sell securities as they deem appropriate, as necessary for redemption purposes, and generally when a stock meets or exceeds its price target, when better alternatives become available, or in response to an unsatisfactory progression of company fundamentals. Additionally, the portfolio managers take into consideration the market capitalization of fund holdings when weighing decisions to sell securities or to seek out opportunities within the fund’s target capitalization range.
Risk analysis and portfolio construction are central to the fund’s investment processes. Risk is assessed at the overall portfolio, country, industry, style and individual security levels using market- standard measures, such as tracking error, Sharpe ratio, information ratio, volatility, active share and portfolio beta. In addition, the portfolio managers augment these market-standard measures of risk with internal measures, using proprietary analysis to produce reports that provide a deeper perspective into the drivers of risk and return.
The fund may utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments. Although the fund did not invest significantly in derivative instruments as of the most recent fiscal year end, it may do so at any time. In response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, the fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The fund may be less likely to achieve its investment objective when it does so.

The fund seeks to achieve its objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in companies with smaller market capitalizations. The fund expects to invest principally in U.S. companies but may invest to a lesser extent in non-U.S. companies. The fund currently considers smaller marketcapitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations that are smaller than the largest company in the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (approximately $10.28 billion as of June 30, 2022). The fund’s principalinvestment universe includes micro-cap companies, which the portfolio managers consider to be those with market capitalizations generally in the bottom half of the benchmark. The portfolio managers generally seek exposure to smaller capitalization companies, including micro-cap companies, by employing three distinct small-cap strategies or “sleeves” for selecting individual stocks:
Quantitative Core. The Quantitative Core sleeve normally invests primarily in common stocks of companies with smaller market capitalizations that are listed on U.S. exchanges. The team’s quantitative investment process begins with a proprietary alpha model which blends behavioral factors (e.g., human behaviors and biases) and intrinsic valuation factors (e.g., tangible measures of a company’s underlying worth). The team utilizes a risk model for portfolio


construction, with constraints at the individual security and industry levels to manage exposures relative to the benchmark. Additionally, all investment recommendations are thoroughly vetted at the individual company level to confirm the investment rationale and suitability before a purchase or sale.
Quantitative Growth. The growth sleeve is managed similar to the core sleeve but against a growth index. This sleeve normally invests primarily in common stocks of companies with smaller market capitalizations that are listed on U.S. exchanges. The team’s quantitative investment process begins with a proprietary alpha model which blends behavioral factors (e.g., human behaviors and biases) and intrinsic valuation factors (e.g., tangible measures of a company’s underlying worth). The team utilizes a risk model for portfolio construction, with constraints at the individual security and industry levels to manage exposures relative to the benchmark. Additionally, all investment recommendations are thoroughly vetted at the individual company level to confirm the investment rationale and suitability before a purchase or sale.
Managed Volatility. The Managed Volatility sleeve selects primarily common stocks of smaller-cap companies which in aggregate offer lower forecast risk and lower levels of correlation among the individual stocks. This focus may result in the sleeve outperforming the general securities market during periods of flat or negative market performance, and underperforming the general securities market during periods of strong positive market performance. This strategy utilizes both a quantitative and fundamental research process to make individual security and sector selection decisions.
The allocation of fund assets among the sleeves discussed above is set from time to time, may vary in size significantly from sleeve to sleeve and may periodically be adjusted through a collaborative effort among the portfolio managers. In addition to common stocks and other equity securities, the fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs). The fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in non-U.S. securities, except that it may invest without limit in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). The fund may also invest a portion of its assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs). In order to gain exposure to desired asset classes or securities, or for hedging or other investment purposes, the fund may also utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts, warrants and other derivative instruments. Although the fund did not invest significantly in derivative instruments as of the end of its most recent fiscal year, it may do so at any time.
The “Management” section in the summary prospectus and in the summary section of the statutory prospectus will be replaced in its entirety with the following:
The fund’s investment adviser is Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”).
Portfolio Management
> Kunal Ghosh, Senior Portfolio Manager, Senior Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer, Virtus Systematic, of VIA, manages the Quantitative Core and Managed Volatility sleeves of the fund. He has been responsible for rebalancing the fund’s different sleeves and the fund’s investments in cash and cash equivalents since its inception in 2013.
> Lu Yu, CFA, CIPM, Lead Portfolio Manager and Managing Director, Virtus Systematic, of VIA,, manages the Quantitative Core and Managed Volatility sleeves of the fund. She has managed the fund since 2018.
> Jie Wei, Senior Portfolio Manager and Director, Virtus Systematic of VIA, manages the Quantitative Core, Quantitative Growth and Managed Volatility sleeves of the fund. He has managed the fund since July 2022.
In the section “More Information About Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies” the disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” on page 98 of the statutory prospectus will be replaced with the following:
The fund seeks to achieve its objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in companies with smaller market capitalizations. The fund expects to invest principally in U.S. companies but may invest to a lesser extent in non-U.S. companies. The fund currently considers smaller market capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations that are smaller than the largest company in the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (approximately $10.28 billion as of June 30, 2022). The fund’s principal investment universe includes micro-cap companies, which the portfolio managers consider to be those with market capitalizations generally in the bottom half of the benchmark. The portfolio managers generally seek exposure to smaller capitalization companies, including micro-cap companies, by employing three distinct small-cap strategies or “sleeves” for selecting individual stocks:


Quantitative Core;
Quantitative Growth; and
Managed Volatility.
The allocation of fund assets among these sleeves is set from time to time and may periodically be adjusted at the discretion of the portfolio management team. Such allocations will not be equal and will typically reflect significant variation across the sleeves.
The portfolio managers consider whether to sell a particular security when a factor applicable to the relevant sleeve, or to the fund as a whole, materially changes or when a more attractive investment candidate is available. The fund may experience a high portfolio turnover rate as a consequence of the investment strategies associated with each sleeve and the portfolio managers’ optimization process.
The portion of the fund’s assets allocated to the Quantitative Growth sleeve is managed similar to the core sleeve but against a growth index. This sleeve normally invests primarily in common stocks of companies with smaller market capitalizations that are listed on U.S. exchanges. The team’s quantitative investment process begins with a proprietary alpha model which blends behavioral factors (e.g., human behaviors and biases) and intrinsic valuation factors (e.g., tangible measures of a company’s underlying worth). The team utilizes a risk model for portfolio construction, with constraints at the individual security and industry levels to manage exposures relative to the benchmark. Additionally, all investment recommendations are thoroughly vetted at the individual company level to confirm the investment rationale and suitability before a purchase or sale.
The portion of the fund’s assets allocated to the Quantitative Core sleeve will, under normal conditions, be invested primarily in common stocks of smaller-cap companies that are listed on U.S. exchanges. Members of the portfolio management team managing this sleeve believe that behavioral biases of investors contribute to market inefficiencies. Their quantitative investment process begins with a proprietary investment-return forecasting model which combines behavioral factors (which seek to capitalize on human behavioral biases (i.e., systematic tendencies) from financial analysts, company management and investors), with intrinsic and valuation factors (which are expected to provide tangible measures of a company’s true worth). The portfolio managers integrate this multi-factor approach with a proprietary risk model to construct the fund’s portfolio, with constraints at the individual security and industry level to manage exposures relative to the benchmark. Additionally, all investment recommendations are thoroughly vetted on an individual company level to confirm the investment rationale and suitability before a purchase or sale. The portfolio managers consider whether to sell a particular security based on the attractiveness in the team’s relative performance (or “alpha”) model, an increase in stock-specific risk, or because the stock is highly correlated with other stocks in the portfolio. The integrated relationship between research and portfolio management combines the latest research from the academic and investment management communities with real-world portfolio management experience to attempt to maximize excess return opportunities within a framework that seeks to control risk. The investment approach is quantitative in nature, therefore the majority of research is conducted through alpha model, risk model and portfolio construction research. The Quantitative Core sleeve is designed to perform well over a variety of market conditions given its core style and modest reduction in risk relative to the benchmark.
The portion of the fund’s assets allocated to the Managed Volatility sleeve will, under normal conditions, be invested primarily in common stocks of smaller-cap companies which in aggregate offer lower forecast risk and lower levels of correlation among the individual stocks. This focus may result in the sleeve outperforming the general securities market during periods of flat or negative market performance, and underperforming the general securities market during periods of strong positive market performance that are typically led by growth oriented stocks with higher correlation to broader market movements. This strategy utilizes both a quantitative and fundamental research process to make individual security and sector selection decisions. Under the Managed Volatility strategy, the portfolio managers seek to emphasize stocks that exhibit a lower sensitivity to beta, or risk in relation to the overall market, as they believe that stocks with higher betas are not rewarded with commensurately higher returns by the market. The portfolio construction process for the Managed Volatility sleeve consists of multiple layers of review and analysis. Initially, the portfolio managers build a fully invested and diversified portfolio subject to sector and security constraints with a goal of minimizing total volatility as measured by the standard deviation of returns. The team then overlays a proprietary stock selection model and seeks to build a final portfolio of stocks that considers the trade-off between volatility and sources of outperformance relative to the benchmark. The Managed Volatility sleeve is designed to perform well during periods of volatile market conditions and protect capital on a relative basis through risk mitigation techniques.


In addition to common stocks and other equity securities (such as preferred stocks, convertible securities and warrants), the fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs). The fund may invest up to 15% in non US securities trading in local markets and may invest without limit in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). The fund may also invest a portion of its assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs). In order to gain exposure to desired asset classes or securities, or for hedging or other investment purposes, the fund may also utilize options, stock index futures contracts, warrants and other derivative instruments.
In response to adverse market, economic, political and other conditions, the fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The fund may be less likely to achieve its investment objective when it does so.

Additional disclosure changes resulting from the change in subadviser are described below.
The disclosure in footnote 3 under the table in “Fees and Expenses” will be replaced with the following:
(3) Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reimbursement reflect the effect of a contractual agreement by Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”) to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the fund to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, excluding interest, any other fees or expenses relating to financial leverage or borrowing (such as commitment, amendment and renewal expenses on credit or redemption facilities), tax, extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring expenses, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses, exceed 1.47% for Administrative Class shares, through September 20, 2023.

The Expense Limitation Agreement is terminable by mutual agreement of the parties.
The disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” in the summary prospectus and the summary section of the statutory prospectus will be replaced with the following:
The fund seeks to achieve its objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in common stocks of U.S. companies and other U.S.-traded equity securities of technology


companies. The fund considers U.S.-traded equity securities to include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), as well as securities that are traded in the U.S. that have been issued by companies established, domiciled or operating in foreign countries. The fund intends to invest primarily in companies with market capitalizations greater than $500 million. The fund is “non-diversified,” which means that it may invest a significant portion of its assets in a relatively small number of issuers, which may increase risk. The portfolio managers define technology companies as those that provide technology products or services, or those that benefit from utilizing technology to gain competitive advantages, improve their business processes, products or applications. These may include, but are not limited to, internet products and services (including e-commerce), computers and computer peripherals, software, electronic components and systems, communications equipment and services, semiconductors, transportation technology, transportation services and products, artificial intelligence technology, video gaming, security services and products, media and information services, environmental services, chemical products and synthetic materials, defense and aerospace products and services, nanotechnology, energy equipment and services, digital currency enablers, financial and payment technology and others. The portfolio managers evaluate fundamental value and growth prospects and focus on companies that they expect will have strong potential for capital appreciation. In addition to common stocks, The fund may invest in securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs).
The disclosure under the “Principal Risks” in the summary prospectus and in the summary section of the statutory prospectus will be restated as follows:
> Market Volatility Risk. 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, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness 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 portfolio manager(s) to invest the fund’s assets as intended.
> Issuer Risk. The fund will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the fund invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.
> Equity Securities Risk. The value of the stocks held by the fund may be negatively affected by the financial market, industries in which the fund invests, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or in small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
> Focused Investment Risk (Technology-Related Risk). To the extent the fund focuses its investments on a limited number of issuers, sectors, industries or geographic regions, it may be subject to increased risk and volatility. Risks affecting companies in the technology sector include competition from new and existing companies, limited operating histories and management experience, patent and other intellectual property considerations and the commercial non-viability or rapid obsolescence of equipment, products or services.
> Depositary Receipts Risk. Investments in foreign companies through depositary receipts may expose the fund to the same risks as direct investments in securities of foreign issuers.
> Small and Medium Market Capitalization Companies Risk. The fund’s investments in small and medium market capitalization companies may increase the volatility and risk of loss to the fund, as compared with investments in larger, more established companies.
> Redemption Risk. One or more large shareholders or groups of shareholders may redeem their holdings in the fund, resulting in an adverse impact on remaining shareholders in the fund by causing the fund to take actions it would not otherwise have taken.
> Foreign Investing Risk. 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.
> IPO Risk. Securities purchased in initial public offerings have no trading history, limited issuer information and increased volatility.
> Liquidity Risk. Certain securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as U.S. Government securities or common stocks. To the extent the fund invests in less liquid securities or the level of liquidity in a particular market is constrained, the lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair value.
> Portfolio Turnover Risk. High levels of portfolio turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment performance.


The “Management” section in the summary prospectus and in the summary section of the statutory prospectus, will be replaced in its entirety with the following:
The fund’s investment adviser is Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”).
The fund’s subadviser is Zevenbergen Capital Investments LLC (“Zevenbergen”).
Portfolio Management
> Brooke de Boutray, CFA, Co-Chief Investment Officer, Portfolio Manager and Analyst of Zevenbergen, has co-managed the fund since July 2022.
> Joseph Dennison, CFA, Portfolio Manager and Analyst of Zevenbergen, has co-managed the fund since July 2022.
> Anthony Zackery, CFA, Portfolio Manager and Analyst of Zevenbergen, has co-managed the fund since July 2022.
> Nancy Zevenbergen, CFA, Co-Chief Investment Officer, Portfolio Manager and Analyst of Zevenbergen, has co-managed the fund since July 2022.
In the section “More Information about Risks Related to Principal Investment strategies” the disclosure under “Principal Investment Strategies” starting on page 100 of the statutory prospectus relating to the fund will be replaced with the following:
The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in common stocks of U.S. traded companies and other U.S traded equity securities of technology companies. The fund considers U.S.-traded equity securities to include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), as well as securities that are traded in the U.S. that have been issued by companies established, domiciled or operating in foreign countries.

The portfolio managers evaluate the fundamental value and prospects for growth of individual companies and focus on those companies that they expect will have strong potential for capital appreciation. Investments are not restricted to companies with a record of dividend payments.
The portfolio managers sell securities as they deem appropriate in accordance with sound investment practices and the fund’s investment objectives and as necessary for redemption purposes. In response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, the fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents.

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 in the event such approval is sought between regularly scheduled meetings. In any event, the Audit Committee is informed of 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) 0%

(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 $81,605 for 2022 and $74,520 for 2021.

 

  (h)

The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were 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 investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
