Virtus Diversified Income & Convertible Fund (NYSE: ACV) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation while seeking to offer downside protection against capital loss.
To achieve its investment objectives, ACV dynamically allocates assets across convertible securities, debt, income-producing instruments, and equity securities. Typically, the Fund invests at least 50% of its total managed assets in convertible securities and may write covered call options on its equity holdings. This strategic mix aims to balance income generation and growth potential, offering a diversified approach to asset management.
The Fund has a limited term and is set to terminate on the first business day following the 15th anniversary of the effective date of its registration statement, May 22, 2030. However, the Fund’s Board of Trustees may extend the Fund's term by up to 12 months if needed.
Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. acts as the investment adviser, and Voya Investment Management serves as the subadviser. Through this collaboration, the Fund leverages the expertise and resources of both firms to manage its diversified portfolio effectively.
