NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Virtus Opportunities Trust, a trust consisting of 18 diversified Funds and 4 non-diversified Funds (each a “Fund”), in the preparation of the Schedules of Investments. The preparation of the Schedules of Investments in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Schedules of Investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.

A. SECURITY VALUATION

Security valuation procedures for the Funds, which include, nightly price variance, as well as back-testing such as bi-weekly unchanged price, monthly secondary source and transaction analysis, have been approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”). All internally fair valued securities are approved by a Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) appointed by the Board. The valuation committee is comprised of the treasurer, assistant treasurer, secretary and chief compliance officer for the Trust. All internally fair valued securities referred to below are updated daily and reviewed in detail by the valuation committee monthly unless changes occur within the period. The Valuation Committee reviews the validity of any model inputs and any changes to the model when applicable. Internal fair valuations are reviewed by the Board at least quarterly.

The Funds utilize a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

   

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the valuation committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds 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. Restricted equity securities and private placements that are not widely traded, are illiquid or are internally fair valued by the valuation committee 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 the Fund calculates its net asset value (generally, the close of the New York Stock Exchange “NYSE”) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non - U.S. markets. In such cases the Fund fair values 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 American Depositary Receipts, Financial Futures, Exchange Traded Funds, 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.

 

Other information regarding each Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Report to Shareholders.


VIRTUS OPPORTUNITIES TRUST

NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012 (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)

 

Debt securities, including 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 which considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments such as Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities, may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt securities that are not widely traded, are illiquid, or are internally fair valued by the valuation committee are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange 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 their closing net asset value determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

A summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ 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. For example, money market securities may be valued using amortized cost, in accordance with the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost reflects the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities valuation are reflected as Level 2.

The Funds own the following internally fair valued securities and which are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy:

Bond Fund

United Artists Theatre Circuit Inc.

Series BD-1 9.300%, 7/1/15

High Yield Fund

United Artists Theatre Circuit Inc.

Series 95-A 9.300%, 7/1/15

Series BE-9 9.300%, 7/1/15

Series AW-0 9.300%, 7/1/15

Series BD-1 9.300%, 7/1/15

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these corporate bonds are based on comparable liquid assets adjusted for accretion rate, current yield, current swap rates, and discount rates related to differences in capital structure and liquidity. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Generally, a change in the observable market assumptions would have direct impacts to the discount rates used related to capital structure and/or liquidity discounts.

A summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities, which primarily include investments of the Fund, by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Fund. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

B. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Disclosures on derivative Instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enhanced disclosure that enables 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 the specific types of derivative instruments used by the Funds.

Forward Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are traded directly between currency traders and their customers.

The Funds enter into forward non - U.S. currency contracts in conjunction with the planned purchase or sale of non - U.S. denominated securities in order to hedge the U.S. dollar cost of proceeds. This is done to protect the U.S. Dollar value of the portfolio. Forward currency contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Schedules of Investments. Risks arise from the possible movements in non - U.S. exchange rates or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Warrants and Rights: Certain Funds hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Fund until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures.

C. SECURITY LENDING

Certain Funds may loan securities to qualified brokers through a securities lending agent agreement with Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”). Under the terms of the agreement, the 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. Collateral may consist of cash and securities issued by the U.S. Government. Cash collateral is invested in short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the borrower are recorded as income by the Fund net of fees and rebates charged by BNY Mellon for their services as securities lending agents 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.

Effective November 7, 2011, securities lending was suspended on all Virtus Funds.

D. CREDIT RISK

In countries with limited or developing markets, investments may present greater risks than in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of these investments and the income they generate, as well as a Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.

High-yield/high-risk securities typically entail greater price volatility and/or principal and interest rate risk. There is a greater chance that an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments on time. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high-yield securities may be complex, and as a result, it may be more difficult for the Adviser and/or Subadviser to accurately predict risk.

 

Other information regarding each Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Report to Shareholders.

NOTE 2—ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Investments are generally considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which such securities have been valued by the Fund. Additionally, the following information is also considered in determining liquidity: the frequency of trades and quotes for the investment, whether the investment is listed for trading on a recognized domestic exchange and/or whether two or more brokers are willing to purchase or sell the security at a comparable price, the extent of market making activity in the investment and the nature of the market for investment. Illiquid securities are footnoted as such at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments where applicable.

Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category, except where defined as illiquid.

At June 30, 2012, there were no illiquid and restricted securities held by the funds.

The Funds will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the Securities Act of 1933, in connection with the disposition of such securities.

  (b) There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
