Virtus Diversified Income & Convertible Fund Discloses Sources of Distribution – Section 19(a) Notice
Virtus Diversified Income & Convertible Fund (NYSE: ACV) disclosed its Section 19(a) Notice, announcing a monthly distribution of $0.18 per share, payable on June 27, 2024. The fund follows a Managed Distribution Plan to maintain consistent payout levels, derived from net investment income and realized capital gains.

Performance metrics include a 12.33% average annual total return on NAV over five years and a 10.16% annualized current distribution rate. Fiscal YTD cumulative total return on NAV stands at 5.44%, with a fiscal YTD cumulative distribution rate of 3.39%.

Under the terms of its Managed Distribution Plan, the Fund will seek to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid in part or in full, from net investment income and realized capital gains, or a combination thereof. Shareholders should note, however, that if the Fund's aggregate net investment income and net realized capital gains are less than the amount of the distribution level, the difference will be distributed from the Fund's assets and will constitute a return of the shareholder's capital. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Plan.
The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’.
The Fund provides this estimate of the sources of its distributions:
