• Operating Loss Improves by $2.2 Million to $(0.6) Million

• Gross Inflows up 16%; Second Consecutive Quarter of Positive Net Flows

• Assets Under Management Grow 10% to $24.6 Billion

Hartford, CT, November 4, 2009 – Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTS), which operates a multi-manager asset management business, today reported operating income, as adjusted, of $3.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, a sequential improvement of $2.4 million from the previous quarter. The improvement resulted from top-line revenue growth of 12 percent and benefits from the company’s ongoing cost management program. The company recorded a 16 percent increase in gross inflows and a second consecutive quarter of positive net flows that contributed to a 10 percent growth in assets under management to $24.6 billion from $22.4 billion at the end of the second quarter.

Virtus had an operating loss for the quarter of $0.6 million compared with an operating loss of $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2009. Net income for the third quarter was $0.1 million, while the net loss attributable to common stockholders, after dividends to preferred shareholders, was $0.8 million or $0.14 per share, a 75 percent improvement from the net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.1 million or $0.54 per share in the second quarter of 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Virtus had an operating loss of $7.9 million and operating income, as adjusted, of $2.6 million on revenue of $83.8 million and revenue, as adjusted, of $62.0 million. By comparison, the company had an operating loss of $446.2 million and operating income, as adjusted, of $6.4 million on revenue of $143.4 million and revenue, as adjusted, of $92.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

In evaluating its performance, the company considers certain non-GAAP measures, including operating income, as adjusted, and revenue, as adjusted, that are described and reconciled to GAAP-reported amounts on page 11. These non-GAAP measures net the distribution and administration expenses against the related revenue and remove certain non-cash and other identified amounts. In addition, non-GAAP measures exclude revenue, expenses, and earnings attributed to Goodwin Capital Advisors, a former subsidiary that remained with Virtus’ former parent when Virtus was spun off on December 31, 2008.

Management Discussion

George R. Aylward, president and chief executive officer, said the improved financial markets, a second consecutive quarter of positive net flows, and continued expense management were the primary factors for the sequential improvements in revenue, operating income, and operating margin.

“Positive investment performance from the improved markets, coupled with strong sales, particularly in our long-term mutual funds, and solid net flows drove growth in revenues during the quarter,” Aylward said. “Expenses rose slightly as increases in profit- and sales-based variable costs were partially offset by our ongoing expense management efforts. We continue to make progress on one of our key objectives of improving our operating margin, as adjusted, which was 14 percent this quarter, compared with four percent in the last quarter and a negative margin in the first quarter.”

Aylward cited long-term mutual fund sales that improved 26 percent from the second quarter, contributing to the double-digit growth in gross inflows for all products in the quarter. “This was our strongest quarter in two years with $790 million of mutual fund sales, which also put our mutual funds into net positive flows for the year-to-date period.”

Revenue increased 12 percent to $30.4 million from $27.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 and revenue, as adjusted, increased 16 percent to $22.9 million from $19.7 million in the prior quarter.

Total operating expenses of $31.0 million were three percent higher than the prior quarter, and operating expenses, as adjusted, which exclude distribution and administration expenses, restructuring and severance charges, and certain non-cash charges, were $19.7 million, up four percent from the second quarter.

Employment expenses of $14.1 million were seven percent higher in the third quarter compared with the second quarter, reflecting increases in profit- and sales-based compensation costs, partially offset by reduced base compensation from staff reductions in the current and prior quarters. The company made an additional two percent reduction to its workforce during the quarter and has now reduced its staff by nine percent for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2009, following a 27 percent reduction in staffing during 2008. During the third quarter of 2009, the company had $0.5 million in restructuring and severance expenses, compared with $0.2 million in the second quarter of the year.

Other operating expenses were down six percent to $6.5 million from $7.0 million in the 2009 second quarter, which included $0.5 million of non-cash costs related to the equity portion of directors’ annual retainer.

Assets Under Management

Assets under management at September 30, 2009 were $24.6 billion, up 10 percent from $22.4 billion at the end of the prior quarter. The growth came from $1.8 billion in market appreciation as well as $287.4 million of net flows. Average assets under management, which correspond to the company’s fee-earning asset levels, increased eight percent during the quarter as increases in long-term mutual funds and managed account assets were partially offset by lower money market fund assets.

Gross product inflows in the third quarter were $1.1 billion, up 16 percent from $975.8 million in the second quarter and the second consecutive increase in quarterly sales. For the first nine months of 2009, Virtus had gross product inflows of $2.8 billion and net outflows of $168.7 million, compared with gross product inflows of $3.2 billion and net outflows of $7.0 billion for the first nine months of 2008. The outflows in 2008 included a $3.7 billion redemption from a low-fee, non-affiliated general account institutional client.

Long-term mutual fund assets ended the third quarter at $12.4 billion, up 13 percent from $10.9 billion in the prior quarter. Long-term mutual fund sales were $790.0 million, an increase of 26 percent from the second quarter, and net inflows of $249.0 million were 98 percent better than net inflows of $125.7 million in the second quarter. For the first nine months of 2009, Virtus’ long-term mutual funds had positive net flows of $174.3

Virtus Investment Partners, Inc.     4

million on gross sales of $1.9 billion, compared with $392.4 million in net outflows on gross sales of $2.0 billion for the first nine months of 2008.

Mutual fund product initiatives during the third quarter included the introduction of the AlphaSector Rotation Strategy from F-Squared Investments in two funds, the Virtus AlphaSector™ Rotation Fund (Class A: PWBAX) and the Virtus AlphaSector™ Allocation Fund (Class A: PSWAX). Virtus also offers F-Squared’s AlphaSector Rotation Strategy in separate account form.

Separately managed account assets at September 30, 2009, which will form the basis for fourth-quarter revenue, were up 12 percent from June 30, 2009. Gross inflows improved by four percent to $291.4 million from $281.5 million in the second quarter, and net flows improved to $60.3 million from $2.6 million in the prior quarter.

Institutional sales were $54.0 million in the third quarter, compared with $68.1 million in the second quarter, while net outflows improved to $21.9 million from $85.8 million in the prior quarter due to the reduced level of outflows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2009 the company had $23.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $30.9 million in working capital, compared with $25.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $22.8 million in working capital as of June 30, 2009. The increase in working capital from June 30 is primarily attributable to the refinancing of Virtus’ note payable which increased working capital by $8.0 million. The change in cash during the quarter included a $1.8 million dividend payment on the company’s convertible preferred shares, and a $3.0 million payment to retire prior debt.

In the quarter, Virtus closed on a new senior secured revolving credit facility for an initial aggregate amount of $30.0 million. The company extinguished its previously outstanding debt of $18.0 million using $15.0 million under the new credit facility and $3.0 million of its cash resources. The $30.0 million facility has a term of two years, with the maximum amount available reducing to $18.0 million in the second year. The facility will have a variable interest rate benchmarked to standard market indices. The company’s effective interest rate for the quarter was 8.5 percent, down from 9.0 percent in the prior quarter, driven by a 6.9 percent variable interest rate, inclusive of the amortization of deferred financing costs, on the new facility that was put in place on September 1, 2009.

In September, Virtus’ former parent filed its 2008 federal income tax return, which included Virtus as a majority-owned subsidiary. Through a tax separation agreement, as amended, between the two companies, Virtus was provided a waiver necessary to preserve its tax basis in certain intangible assets. The waivers and elections were taken into consideration in establishing deferred tax assets in Virtus’ 2008 financial statements and are not anticipated to be significantly affected by this September tax filing. As of September 30, 2009, Virtus had

approximately $115.3 million of gross deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of tax basis in intangible assets, and has recorded a valuation allowance of $108.6 million for these assets.

Schedule of Non-GAAP Information

(Dollars in thousands)

The company reports its financial results on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis; however management believes that evaluating the company’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP financial measures. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and considers them to be additional metrics for both management and investors to evaluate the company’s financial performance over time, as noted in the footnotes below. Management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) Revenues, as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by deducting distribution and administration expenses from GAAP revenues. Management believes Revenues, as adjusted provides useful information to investors because distribution and administrative expenses are costs that are generally passed directly through to external parties. Goodwin’s results are excluded from 2008 periods to aid in comparability between 2008 and 2009 results since Goodwin is no longer part of Virtus’ operations, effective December 31, 2008.

(2) Excludes Goodwin-related expenses of $666 and $1,997 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008.

(3) Excludes Goodwin-related expenses of $275 and $816 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008.

(4) Operating expenses, as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with useful information because of the nature of the specific excluded operating expenses. Specifically, management adds back amortization and impairments attributable to acquisition related intangible assets as this is useful to an investor to measure our operating results with the results of other asset management firms that have not engaged in significant acquisitions. In addition, we add back restructuring and severance charges as we believe that operating expenses exclusive of these costs will aid comparability of the information to prior reporting periods. We believe that because of the variety of equity awards used by companies and the varying methodologies for determining stock-based compensation expense, excluding stock-based compensation enhances the ability of management and investors to compare financial results over periods. Distribution and administrative expenses are excluded for the reason set forth above. Goodwin’s results are excluded from 2008 periods to aid in comparability between 2008 and 2009 results since Goodwin is no longer part of Virtus’ operations, effective December 31, 2008.

(5) Operating income (loss), as adjusted, and operating margin, as adjusted, are calculated using the basis of revenues used for operating margin, as adjusted and expenses used for operating margin, as adjusted as described above. These measures should not be considered as substitutes for any measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
