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, 2023.
The fiscal year was marked by volatility in the second half of 2022, followed by the beginning of a recovery in the first half of 2023. Investors dealt with continued inflation and rising interest rates, although the pace of both seemed to moderate during the period. Bank failures in March of 2023 caused additional concern, but by the end of the 12-month period, most markets were demonstrating more stability.
Domestic equity indexes moved higher during the 12 months ended June 30, 2023. U.S. large-capitalization stocks were up 19.59%, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, while small-cap stocks returned 12.31%, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. International equities showed divergent performance, with developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), returning 18.77%, while emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), were up only 1.75%.
Fixed income markets wrestled with continued interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve (the Fed), although the central bank did not raise rates at its June 2023 meeting. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 3.81% on June 30, 2023, from 2.98% on June 30, 2022. The broad U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was down 0.94% for the 12-month period, while non-investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, returned 9.06%.
While markets may be unpredictable in the short term, we believe most investors are best served by focusing on the long term. Please call our customer service team at 800-243-1574 if you have questions about your account or require assistance.
Sincerely,
George R. Aylward
President, Virtus Investment Trust

VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD OF January 1, 2023 TO June 30, 2023
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, 2023.
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.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
Emerging market (EM) equities, as defined by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), eked out a return of 1.75% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The fiscal year was marked by two distinct time periods: the Covid-era lockdowns in China, and the period after the lockdowns were relaxed.
 October of 2022 marked a milestone in which President Xi Jinping was appointed as president/party chairman for a third term, breaking a precedent of two terms that had been followed by Chinese presidents for the prior three decades. The uncertainty of the political transition was coupled with a draconian lockdown in response to the Covid-19 virus. The result was a dramatic slowdown in economic activity in China as consumer activity came to a grinding halt in response to home confinement and lockdowns. The services sectors suffered, investments and capital formation slowed,
and exports, while anemic, were the only positive driver for this time period.
November of 2022 marked the turn of the political and economic environment in China. The new government under the third term of President Xi lifted all Covid-related restrictions, which led to a surge of economic activity and expectations for a recovery in the Chinese equity market. Since the market trough, reached on October 24, 2022, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) and the MSCI China Index (net) did not disappoint, delivering returns of 19.5% and 26.1%, respectively, through June 30, 2023.
While developed economies (especially the U.S., the U.K., and the European Union) battled inflationary pressures, inflation was a muted problem in emerging economies. Much of the credit goes to the measured fiscal response by the governments of other EM countries in response to Covid, and to EM central banks, which were proactive about raising rates.
Having left Covid-related lockdowns and restrictions in economic activity behind, India and Brazil were some of the outstanding performers for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The MSCI India Index (net) delivered a return of 14.2% for the period, while the MSCI Brazil Index (net) delivered a strong 29.8%. Brazilian elections, a smooth handover of power, and inflation that remained under control all helped bolster Brazilian markets. Eastern European countries were another pocket of strength. The Russian invasion of Ukraine made investors shy away from many of these countries. But the fiscal discipline, proactive central banks, and most importantly resilience and grit of the economies showed during this period. The MSCI Hungary Index (net) delivered a whopping 48.8% return for the year, and the MSCI Poland Index (net) posted a 36.4% increase for the same time period.
The energy sector was a strong performer as OPEC kept the oil supply glut in check. EM energy companies including PetroChina and Petrobras were the key contributors to the energy sector. Information technology was another strong performer with multiple tailwinds, the most important of which was the fervor around artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-related companies, which benefited several Taiwan technology stocks.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net). Stock selection was the key driver of outperformance. The Fund’s allocation to India was the top performer, aided by stock selection within the country. China was the second biggest contributor to the Fund, although the underweight in China hurt the Fund after the removal of the Covid lockdowns in November 2022. South Korea, a traditional bellwether of the global economy, detracted from Fund performance. The underperformance in South Korea was due to a combination of country allocation and stock selection. Higher levels of household debt in South Korea, as well as the slowdown in the housing market, hurt the performance of some of the banks and construction companies in that country.
Overall, the two largest contributors to Fund performance were Gigabyte Technology in Taiwan and PetroChina in Hong Kong. Gigabyte is a supplier of AI servers. Increased demand after the advent of ChatGPT helped the company’s pipeline and demand. The biggest detractor for the 12-month period was Daqo New Energy, a manufacturer of polysilicon solar cells. Headwinds for the company included the slowdown in China’s manufacturing, as well as efforts by western governments to shift the solar-related supply chain out of China. Postal Savings Bank in China was another detractor, reflecting the slowdown of the Chinese economy in the early part of the fiscal year when China was under Covid-related lockdowns.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
Markets were volatile to start the fiscal year as they digested persistent inflation, rising interest rates, and the results of central bank tightening globally. During the fourth quarter of 2022, inflation slowed, reducing the odds of a higher-than-expected endpoint for central bank rate increases. In addition, the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasury yields retreated from intra-quarter peak levels, which alleviated another perceived market challenge. These factors helped boost investor appetite for stocks and credit into year-end 2022.
 This momentum carried into 2023, with risk assets advancing further on better-than-expected corporate earnings and economic data, waning inflation, and a pause in interest rate hikes. First-quarter 2023 earnings results topped forecasts, helped by corporate cost-cutting initiatives and improved operating efficiency. In addition, management
outlooks included fewer references to sales and profitability challenges. The unemployment rate remained low, consumer confidence improved substantially, gross domestic product (GDP) growth was revised higher, various housing statistics stabilized, and headline inflation trended lower. After softening its policy rate guidance in May, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) left interest rates unchanged in June – the first time in 11 meetings — at a range of 5% to 5.25%.
 For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2023, equities, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, returned 19.59%. Convertible securities, as measured by the ICE BofA US Convertibles Index, returned 10.60%. And high yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Cash Pay Index, returned 8.88%.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed the S&P 500® Index and outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023. The Fund delivered a high level of monthly income and a positive total return for the period. The Fund’s holdings benefited from the strength across risk assets. 
Fund performance benefited from exposure to mega-cap stocks and technology companies. Better-than-expected earnings results, optimistic management guidance, and artificial intelligence (AI) optimism drove gains in many of the Fund’s top contributors. Other top contributors included positions in clean energy, travel services, semiconductors, and energy services.
Top detractors included a cellular tower real estate investment trust (REIT), an electronic components company, and a hydrogen fuel cells system developer whose earnings came in below analysts’ expectations. A telecom-wireline operator under new management also underperformed. Health care holdings with exposure to pharmaceuticals and diagnostics were also sources of weakness. Other laggards were exposures in cable and satellite TV, software, and power generation.
Additionally, many written options positions expired below the strike price, and the Fund was able to retain the set premiums.

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

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
After experiencing historic double-digit losses for equities in 2022, and with inflation quickly escalating, markets remained volatile but began to trend upward in the fourth quarter of 2022. Stocks rallied in the first two quarters of 2023 despite continuing inflationary pressures. After 10 consecutive interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve (the Fed), which began its monetary tightening campaign in March of 2022, markets appeared to have digested the higher-for-longer rate narrative. The rally was aided by a strong labor market, higher employment wages, and low unemployment numbers, all of which fueled demand in the economy. Widespread concerns about a potential recession were replaced by inflation fears, and a recession had yet to materialize by the end of the fiscal year, with the macroeconomic environment for stocks proving more resilient than market participants expected.
The S&P 500® Index returned 19.59% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, moving higher than small stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index,
which returned 12.31%. Growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index, outpaced value stocks, with a positive return of 27.11% versus the 11.54% return of the Russell 1000® Value Index. International developed markets performed better than emerging markets, with the MSCI EAFE Index (net) posting a return of 18.77% versus the return of 1.75% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net).
Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC became the subadviser of the Fund effective July 25, 2022. Performance of the Fund prior thereto is that of the Fund’s former subadviser.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed the MSCI All Country World Small Cap Index (net) for the 24-day period ended July 24, 2022.
From a sector perspective, both allocation decisions and security selection detracted from the Fund’s relative return. An overweight in utilities, the worst performing sector in the Index, was one of the top detractors, as was disappointing security selection in industrials. From a country perspective, security selection was the driver of the Fund’s underperformance. Security selection was most disappointing in the U.S., Sweden, and France.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance from July 25, 2022, through the fiscal year-end on June 30, 2023?
The Fund outperformed the MSCI All Country World Small Cap Index (net) from July 25, 2022, through the fiscal year-end on June 30, 2023. Industrials and information technology contributed the most to performance, while health care and real estate contributed the least. 
From a country perspective, the U.S. and Brazil contributed the most to performance. The U.K. and Sweden detracted the most from performance during the period.
The biggest individual contributors to performance during the period were Primerica, Tegma Gestao Logistica, Simpson Manufacturing, Landstar System, and Baltic Classifieds.
The biggest individual detractors from performance during the period were Bank of Hawaii, Mortgage Advice Bureau, First Hawaiian, Rightmove, and Haw Par.

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 subjects the portfolio to additional risks such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations, less liquidity, and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk.

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, 2023, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned 7.62%, Class C shares at NAV returned 6.86%, Class P shares at NAV returned 7.95%, Institutional Class shares at NAV returned 8.01%, Class R6 shares at NAV returned 8.05%, and Administrative Class shares at NAV returned 8.90%.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
U.S. equities generally appreciated, particularly in the last three quarters of the annual period, despite the second and third largest bank failures on record and a Federal Reserve (Fed) that was committed to tightening monetary policy to combat lingering inflation. Coming off negative equity returns in calendar year 2022, market participants embraced
risk in the first half of 2023. Markets were buoyed in part by a debt ceiling and spending agreement, as well as enthusiasm for the benefits and applications of artificial intelligence (AI).
Within the Russell 1000® Value Index, more economically sensitive areas of the market, including industrials, consumer discretionary, energy, and information technology, led returns. Conversely, more defensive sectors such as utilities, real estate, and health care failed to keep pace over the 12-month period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index.
Negative stock selection drove performance results over the reporting period. While selection was positive across the information technology, materials, and consumer discretionary sectors, these gains were overwhelmed by negative stock picking within the real estate, industrials, and communication services sectors.
Sector allocation contributed over the 12-month period, largely due to underweight positions in the utilities and health care sectors. Conversely, an overweight in real estate and an underweight in energy detracted from relative returns.

of future results, and there is no guarantee that market forecasts will be realized.
Market Volatility: The value of the securities in the portfolio may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war or military conflict, terrorism, pandemic, or recession could impact the portfolio, including hampering the ability of the portfolio’s manager(s) to invest its 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.

Fund Summary (Unaudited)
Portfolio Manager Commentary by

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.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
International equities generally appreciated, particularly in the last three quarters of the annual period, with developed markets largely outpacing emerging markets (EM). Though Europe ex-U.K. equities boasted the strongest returns, the region slipped into recession toward the end of the reporting period due in part to rising commodity prices. Weakness from the EM was largely due to China, which struggled with a sputtering reopening of its
economy, regulatory pressures, and negative investor sentiment.
Within the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (net), Europe ex-U.K. led with a 25% gain, followed by strength from Japan, while the EM and Asia/Pacific ex-Japan regions registered the weakest returns over the period. The Index’s best performing sectors were industrials and information technology, both up over 24%, followed by strength from financials and consumer discretionary. Conversely, the real estate and communication services sectors slumped into negative territory, while health care and utilities underperformed on a relative basis.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (net).
Stock selection was negative over the reporting period as strong stock picking in the materials and information technology sectors was overwhelmed by negative selection in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors.
Sector allocation contributed over the period, largely due to an overweight in information technology and an underweight in communication services. In contrast, overweight positions in the real estate and industrials sectors somewhat dampened relative returns.
By region, selection was strong across North America and the U.K., while selection within the EM and Europe ex-U.K. dampened relative returns. From an allocation standpoint, an overweight in Europe ex-U.K. contributed, while an overweight in the EM detracted over 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 portfolio may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war or military conflict, terrorism, pandemic, or recession could impact the portfolio, including hampering the ability of the portfolio’s manager(s) to invest its 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.
Prospectus: For additional information on risks, please see the Fund’s prospectus.

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, 2023, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned 8.27%, Class C shares at NAV returned 7.42%, Class P shares at NAV returned 8.53%, Institutional Class shares at NAV returned 8.50%, and Administrative Class shares at NAV returned 8.38%, and Class R6 shares at NAV returned 8.75%. For the same period, the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Fund’s style-specific benchmark appropriate for comparison, returned 11.54%.

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, 2023?
U.S. equities generally appreciated, particularly in the last three quarters of the annual period, despite the second and third largest bank failures on record and a Federal Reserve (Fed) that was committed to tightening monetary policy to combat lingering inflation. Coming off negative equity returns in
calendar year 2022, market participants embraced risk in the first half of 2023. Markets were buoyed in part by a debt ceiling and spending agreement, as well as enthusiasm for the benefits and applications of artificial intelligence (AI).
Within the Russell 1000® Value Index, more economically sensitive areas of the market, including industrials, consumer discretionary, energy, and information technology, led returns. Conversely, more defensive sectors such as utilities, real estate, and health care failed to keep pace over the 12-month period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index.
Negative stock selection drove performance results over the reporting period. While selection was positive across the information technology, energy, and utilities sectors, these gains were overwhelmed by negative stock picking within the financials, real estate, and industrials sectors.
Sector allocation contributed over the 12-month period, largely due to underweight positions in the utilities and health care sectors. Conversely, an underweight in energy was the only detractor from an allocation perspective over the period.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
U.S. equities generally appreciated, particularly in the last three quarters of the annual period, despite the second and third largest bank failures on record and a Federal Reserve (Fed) that was committed to tightening monetary policy to combat lingering inflation. Coming off negative equity returns in calendar year 2022, market participants embraced risk in the first half of 2023. Markets were buoyed in part by a debt ceiling and spending agreement, as
well as enthusiasm for the benefits and applications of artificial intelligence (AI).
Within the Russell Midcap® Value Index, more economically sensitive areas of the market, including industrials, consumer discretionary, information technology, and materials, led returns. Conversely, the real estate sector delivered negative returns, followed by relative weakness from communication services, financials, and utilities over the 12-month period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index.
Outperformance was driven by positive sector allocations, while stock selection somewhat detracted over the reporting period. Positive stock selection across the information technology, materials, and consumer discretionary sectors was overwhelmed by negative stock picking in real estate, financials, and industrials.
Sector allocations were positive across all 11 major market sectors over the 12-month period, led by gains from an overweight in the consumer discretionary sector and an underweight in the utilities sector.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
U.S. equities generally appreciated, particularly in the last three quarters of the annual period, despite the second and third largest bank failures on record and a Federal Reserve (Fed) that was committed to tightening monetary policy to combat lingering inflation. Coming off negative equity returns in calendar year 2022, market participants embraced risk in the first half of 2023. Markets were buoyed in
part by a debt ceiling and spending agreement, as well as enthusiasm for the benefits and applications of artificial intelligence (AI).
Within the Russell 2000® Value Index, the information technology and energy sectors led returns with gains of 37% and 31%, respectively, followed by strength from more economically sensitive areas of the market, including consumer discretionary, industrials, and materials. Conversely, communication services, financials, consumer staples, and utilities slumped into negative territory over the 12-month period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index.
Positive sector allocation and stock selection drove outperformance results. Stock selection was robust across the financials, health care, and communication services sectors. In contrast, selection was negative in the real estate, information technology, and energy sectors for the reporting period.
Sector allocations were positive across nine of the 11 major market sectors over the 12-month period, led by gains from overweight positions in the information technology and industrials sectors. Conversely, an underweight in the energy sector and an overweight in the consumer staples sector modestly detracted.
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 portfolio may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war or military conflict, terrorism, pandemic, or recession could impact the portfolio, including hampering the ability of the portfolio’s manager(s) to invest its 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.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
After negative performance for both stocks and bonds in calendar year 2022, major U.S. equity markets rose nicely during the Fund’s fiscal 2023 year, primarily driven by robust returns in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. The fiscal year was marked by unprecedented interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve (the Fed). As the yield curve inverted, meaning that the yields on longer-term investments dropped below the yields on shorter-term investments with the same risk profile, many investors and market pundits believed a recession was forthcoming.
However, the U.S. economy remained largely resilient, helping to soften worries about the risk of an imminent recession. Inflation continued to moderate into the Fund’s fourth fiscal quarter, allowing the Fed to pause its interest rate policy for the first time in the current tightening cycle. The job market remained robust, the U.S. debt ceiling standoff was resolved, and earnings were broadly
better-than-feared in the second half of the fiscal year. Furthermore, excitement around generative artificial intelligence (AI) continued to fuel a high degree of investor enthusiasm while increasing returns for select equities.
Against this backdrop, large-cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index, experience the largest gains (up 27.1%) among broad equity style categories, and significantly outperformed the large-cap value style as measured by the Russell 1000® Value Index, which gained 11.5%.
Silvant Capital Management LLC became the subadviser of the Fund effective July 25, 2022. Performance of the Fund prior thereto is that of the Fund’s former subadviser.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund outperformed the Russell 1000® Growth Index for the 24-day period ended July 24, 2022.
From a sector perspective, both security selection and allocation decisions were contributors to relative performance. The sector that contributed the most to performance over this period was financials, where the Fund’s underweight relative to the Index was beneficial. An overweight to consumer discretionary was also a contributor over this period. The largest detractor over this period was security selection in health care. The Fund’s overweight to the sector hurt as well.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance from July 25, 2022, through the fiscal year-end on June 30, 2023?
The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2023. The Fund owned 10 stocks from four major economic sectors that gained more than 40% over this time period, showing broad diversification of returns. Furthermore, there was positive stock contribution to return within seven major economic sectors. The Fund’s consumer discretionary stocks lagged the benchmark, returning 13.90% while the Russell 1000® Growth Index’s consumer discretionary sector gained 15.98% over this period.
The best performing sector was information technology, where several stocks gained more than 45%, leading to a total return of 44.8% for the sector. The best performers were NVIDIA, Microsoft, and
Apple, while Tesla, Estee Lauder, and Amazon were among the bottom performers.

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.

What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed the Russell Midcap® Growth Index for the 24-day period ended July 24, 2022.
From a sector perspective, security selection was a detractor from relative performance, while allocation decisions contributed overall. The sector that detracted the most from performance over this period was security selection in information technology. Security selection in health care was a detractor as well. The largest contributor was a lack of exposure to consumer staples, which lagged over this period.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance from July 25, 2022, through the fiscal year-end on June 30, 2023?
The Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2023. The Fund owned 14 stocks from five major economic sectors that gained more than 40% over this time period, showing broad diversification of returns. Furthermore, there was positive stock contribution to return within six major economic sectors. Within the group of 10 largest stock detractors to return, five stocks declined by more than 30% over this period of time.
The best performing sectors were information technology and consumer discretionary. Among the better-performing stocks were Royal Caribbean,
Wingstop, and Palo Alto Networks. The Fund’s performance struggled within the financials and materials sectors. Among the holdings that lagged and declined in value were CF Industries Holdings, SVB Financial Group, and Catalent.

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
U.S. small-cap equities delivered a total return of 12.31%, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, trailing the S&P 500® Index for the same period by approximately 7.3%. However, the positive return of small caps for the period does not accurately represent the volatility and the stress in the market. For the second half of 2022, the market was plagued by the highest inflation in 40 years and several interest rate increases from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed). These conditions caused a selloff, especially in U.S. interest-rate-sensitive sectors. The fourth quarter of 2022 was marked by optimism from investors that the opening of China’s market would alleviate many of the inflationary pressures that had developed from the supply chain disruption. This resulted in a relatively healthy return of 5.8% for the fourth quarter of 2022 for the Russell 2000® Index.
The beginning of calendar year 2023 was marked by an irrational and premature belief that inflation was
coming under control. While that might have been true, small-cap banks faced an unforeseen crisis emanating from the Fed’s sharp hike of U.S. interest rates. Many of the regional banks that held their investments in U.S. Treasuries had to mark them to market with rising rates, which caused considerable accounting losses. These losses in turn caused a potential run on some banks, of which Silicon Valley Bank was the largest and most well-known. This then forced the Fed to pump more liquidity into the market by accepting many of the bank instruments and providing a window for emergency funding. That resulted in a liquidity rush in the market, with investors gravitating back to technology stocks to conclude the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023. Financials were the worst performing sector in the Index, driven by the crisis in regional banks precipitated by the Fed’s sharp rise in short-term interest rates. In contrast, information technology and industrials were the best performing sectors for the reporting period. The excitement and demand created by the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and the associated hardware requirements helped the information technology sector, particularly the semiconductors that enable the computational intensity required by AI servers. The Inflation Reduction Act and associated onshoring helped the industrials sector.
The two best performers in the Fund were Axcelis Technologies and Rambus, both semiconductor companies that benefited from the semiconductor demand fueled by AI and its associated servers. These two companies also benefited from increased demand from many Chinese companies resulting from attempts to obtain products prior to the imposition of anticipated sanctions from the U.S. government on the Chinese semiconductor industry. The two biggest detractors for the fiscal year were health care companies Alignment Health and Avid Biosciences.

Fund Summary (Unaudited)
Portfolio Manager Commentary by

How did the markets perform during the Fund’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023?
Broad market indexes performed strongly during the fiscal year, with the Nasdaq Composite Index® gaining 26.1% and the S&P 500® Index returning 19.6%.
After a strong start to the fiscal year, continued inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty pressured markets downward as industry observers believed the weight of a potential recession and higher interest rates would be considerable. During the first six months of 2023, Wall Street strategists and economists described economic conditions as “resilient,” a marked improvement from the largely negative proclamations issued at the end of 2022. Better-than-feared economic and company data gave investors courage to increase their equity risk tolerance in the first six months of 2023. Further, markets appeared to grow increasingly comfortable with the potential of a pause or pivot in tightening
policy in late calendar 2023 or early 2024, after the quickest Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hiking cycle in 40 years.
Zevenbergen Capital Investments became the subadviser of the Fund effective July 25, 2022. Performance of the Fund prior thereto is that of the Fund’s former subadviser.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year?
The Fund underperformed the S&P North American Technology Sector Index for the 24-day period ended July 24, 2022.
Industry allocation decisions were the primary driver of the Fund’s underperformance, although security selection also detracted from relative performance. An underweight in internet and direct marketing, the second-best performing industry in the Index, detracted the most, followed by an overweight in software. Security selection in software was another top detractor, as Fund holdings failed to keep pace with names in the Index.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance from July 25, 2022, through the fiscal year-end on June 30, 2023?
The Fund modestly outperformed its benchmark, the S&P North American Technology Sector Index, for the period. The Fund’s exposure to information technology (IT) was the largest absolute contributor for the period.
The share price whipsaw for IT companies reflected a positive turnabout in investor sentiment, as major economic concerns moderated and stocks across numerous industries within the sector adjusted to the rising likelihood of re-accelerating sales and earnings trends. In addition, enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI) software innovation compelled investors to revisit IT and adjacent areas, such as semiconductors, due to expectations that they would benefit from AI-related investment, productivity gains, and new market opportunities.
From a financial perspective, investors rewarded profitable growth over the period, boosting shares of companies that increased operating margins and free cash flow generation through headcount reductions and spending cuts on non-core segments.
From an individual stock perspective, the largest detractors from absolute returns included cybersecurity providers CrowdStrike Holdings, Zscaler, and Okta, as well as solar technology company Enphase Energy and small business payments provider BILL Holdings. The largest contributors to absolute returns were semiconductor company NVIDIA, e-commerce software provider Shopify, and mega-cap technology conglomerates Microsoft, Apple, and Meta Platforms.

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.

VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
Note 1. Organization
Virtus Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
As of the date of this report, the Trust is comprised of 13 funds (each a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”), each reported in this annual report. Each Fund’s investment objective is outlined in its respective Fund Summary page. There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its objective(s).
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 KAR Global Small-Cap Fund, KAR Health Sciences Fund, and Income & Growth Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, and Institutional Class shares. The NFJ Dividend Value Fund, NFJ International Value Fund, NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund, NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund, NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund, and Silvant Focused Growth Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, Institutional Class shares, Class R6 shares, and Administrative Class shares. The Silvant Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Zevenbergen Technology Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, Institutional Class shares and Administrative 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 Income & Growth Fund, NFJ Dividend Value Fund, NFJ International Value Fund, NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund, NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund, NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund, Silvant Focused Growth Fund, and Silvant Mid-Cap Growth 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
  The Trustees have designated the Investment Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 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. 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 Investment Adviser’s 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 Investment Adviser’s 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 NYSE (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Funds fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
Debt instruments, including convertible bonds, and restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, activity of the underlying equities, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt instruments that are internally fair valued by the Investment Adviser’s 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.

June 30, 2023
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income
  Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recognized on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt instruments are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. 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. A Fund may invest in MLPs that make distributions that are primarily attributable to return of capital. 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 each such 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 instruments, 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
116


VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2023
  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.
  A Fund may invest in both secured loans and “covenant lite” loans which have few or no financial maintenance covenants that would require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics. The lack of financial maintenance covenants in covenant lite loans increases the risk that the applicable Fund will experience difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of such loans, which may result in losses, especially during a downturn in the credit cycle.
J. Warrants
  The Funds may receive warrants. Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt instrument 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 instruments. 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 instruments 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.

Note 3. Derivative Financial Instruments and Transactions
($ reported in thousands)
Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to enable investors to understand how and why a Fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are such disclosures and accounting policies for each specific type of derivative instrument used by certain Funds.
A. 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, 2023, 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 year ended June 30, 2023, the Income & Growth Fund invested in written covered call options contracts in an attempt to manage equity price risk and with the purpose of generating realized gains.

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, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2023
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 table presents the Income & Growth Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a MNA and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Funds as of June 30, 2023:

  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 year ended June 30, 2023, it retained net commissions of $514 for Class A shares and CDSC of $18 and $94 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 1.00% for Class C shares. Administrative Class shares pay a 0.25% Administrative Distribution fee. 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 Funds may be exchanged for shares of the same class of certain other Virtus 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 year ended June 30, 2023, the Funds incurred administration fees totaling $9,937 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 year ended June 30, 2023, the Funds incurred transfer agent fees totaling $4,449 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. Payment from Affiliates

These amounts are included in “Net increase from payment by affiliates” in the Statements of Operations. With the exception of KAR Global Small-Cap Fund, there was no impact on the total return.
H. Investments with Affiliates
  The Funds are permitted to purchase assets from or sell assets to certain related 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 year ended June 30, 2023, 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 Note. 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.

I. Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan
  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, 2023.
  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 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
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. On April 3, 2023, the FCA announced its decision to require LIBOR’s administrator to continue to publish the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month U.S. dollar settings under an unrepresentative synthetic methodology until September 30, 2024. On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Act (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”) was enacted into law which directs the Federal Reserve Board, as a fallback mechanism, to identify benchmark rates based on SOFR that will replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve adopted regulations implementing the LIBOR Act. 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.
Local, regional or global events such as war or military conflict, 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.
Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Since these markets are often small, they may be more likely to suffer sharp and frequent price changes or long-term price depression because of adverse publicity, investor perceptions or the actions of a few large investors. They may also have policies that restrict investment by foreigners, or that prevent foreign investors from withdrawing their money at will.
Certain emerging markets may also face other significant internal or external risks, including the risk of war and civil unrest. Each of these factors can affect the value and liquidity of the assets of a Fund. Failure to generate adequate earnings from foreign trade would make it difficult for an emerging

market country to service foreign debt. Disruptions resulting from social and political factors may cause the securities markets of emerging market countries to close. If this were to occur, the liquidity and value of a Fund’s assets invested in corporate debt obligations of emerging market companies would decline.
The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact a Fund’s liquidity and performance.
Sanctions threatened or imposed may result in a decline in the value and liquidity of a Fund’s assets. The securities of a Fund may be deemed to have a zero value. A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.
For all these reasons, investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. To the extent that a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a particular emerging market, the Fund will be more vulnerable to financial, economic, political and other developments in that country, and conditions that negatively impact that country will have a greater impact on the Fund as compared with a fund that does not have its holdings concentrated in a particular country.
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, 2023, the following Funds held securities issued by various companies in specific sectors and industries as detailed below:

Note 9.  Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and in separate agreements between each Trustee and the Trust, its Trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and its funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust and the Funds enter into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s and/or the Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust or the Funds and that have not occurred. However, neither the Trust nor the Funds have had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements, and they expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 10. Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category. Each Fund will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities.

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 had a term of 364 days and was extended to July 7, 2023. Subsequent to the reporting period, the Credit Agreement was renewed for a term of 364 days for a period up to July 6, 2024. Effective March 10, 2022, interest is charged at the higher of the SOFR 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 year ended June 30, 2023, 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 outstanding loans during the year. The borrowings were valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

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. On December 21, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 to defer the sunset date of ASC 848 until December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Management is currently evaluating ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2020-06, but does not believe there will be a material impact.  
Note 15. New Regulatory Pronouncement
In October 2022, the SEC adopted a rule and form amendments relating to tailored shareholder reports for mutual funds and ETFs; and fee information in investment company advertisements. The rule and form amendments will require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit streamlined shareholder reports that highlight key information to investors. The rule amendments will require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective in January 2023 and there is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment with a compliance date of July 2024.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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 Income & Growth Fund, Virtus KAR Global Small-Cap Fund, Virtus KAR Health Sciences Fund, Virtus NFJ Dividend Value Fund, Virtus NFJ International Value Fund, Virtus NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund, Virtus NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund, Virtus NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund, Virtus Silvant Focused Growth Fund, Virtus Silvant Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Virtus Small-Cap Fund, and Virtus Zevenbergen Technology Fund (constituting Virtus Investment Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of June 30, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2023, 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, 2023, 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, 2023, 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, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents, 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 22-24, 2023, the Board received a report from the Program Administrator addressing the operation and management of the Program for calendar year 2022 (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.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

 

  (a)

The registrant, as of the end of the period covered by this report, has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party.

 

  (c)

Other than certain non-substantive changes, there have been no amendments during the period covered by this report, to a provision of the code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party, and that relates to any element of the code of ethics described in Item 2(b) of the instructions for completion of Form N-CSR. A copy of the currently applicable code is included as an exhibit.

 

  (d)

The registrant has not granted any waivers, during the period covered by this report, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party, that relates to one or more of the items set forth in paragraph (b) of the instructions for completion of this Item.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

(a)(1)

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has an “audit committee financial expert” serving on its Audit Committee.

 

(a)(2)

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that each of Donald C. Burke, Connie D. McDaniel and Brian T. Zino possesses the technical attributes identified in Instruction 2(b) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert.” Each such individual is an “independent” trustee pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Audit Fees

 

  (a)

The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years are $335,882 for 2023 and $327,690 for 2022.


Audit-Related Fees

 

  (b)

The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item are $31,085 for 2023 and $37,836 for 2022.

Tax Fees

 

  (c)

The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning are $43,164 for 2023 and $81,605 for 2022.

“Tax Fees” are those primarily associated with review of the Trust’s tax provision and qualification as a regulated investment company (RIC) in connection with audits of the Trust’s financial statement, review of year-end distributions by the Fund to avoid excise tax for the Trust, periodic discussion with management on tax issues affecting the Trust, and reviewing and signing the Fund’s federal income tax returns.

All Other Fees

 

  (d)

The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item are $263,461 for 2023 and $0 for 2022.

2023 fees are related to tax reclaim services.

 

  (e)(1)

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

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

The Audit Committee has determined that the Chair of the Audit Committee may provide pre-approval for such services that meet the above requirements 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 $337,710 for 2023 and $81,605 for 2022.

 

  (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.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

 

  (a)

The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) are effective, based on an evaluation of those controls and procedures made as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report as required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act and Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
