Virtus Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund (NYSE: AIO) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company with a limited term, set to terminate around October 29, 2031. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to deliver total return through a combination of current income, current gains, and long-term capital appreciation. Through a multi-asset approach that involves fundamental research, the Fund dynamically allocates investments within attractive segments of a company’s debt and equity, aiming to offer an appealing risk/reward profile.
Managed by Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc., with Voya Investment Management serving as the subadviser, AIO focuses on identifying opportunities within the rapidly evolving fields of artificial intelligence and technology. The Fund emphasizes a diversified investment strategy that includes a mix of income-generating assets and high-growth potential investments. This strategy is designed to capture both stable returns through dividends and interest, as well as capital appreciation from equity investments over the long term.
Recent achievements highlight the Fund’s consistent performance and commitment to shareholder returns. For instance, AIO has maintained regular monthly distributions, such as the $0.15 per share distribution scheduled for October 11, 2023, with subsequent payments planned for November 2023 through February 2024. These distributions are part of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Plan, which seeks to offer a steady distribution level derived from net investment income, realized capital gains, or a combination thereof.
The Fund's financial performance as of key reporting dates reflects a robust average annual total return on NAV for the five-year period at 9.69%, though individual shareholder performance may vary. Shareholders should be aware that distributions could include returns of capital, which occur when the distributed amount exceeds the Fund's income and gains. This aspect underscores the importance of understanding the composition of distributions, which may not directly correlate with the Fund's investment performance.
For detailed performance metrics and further information, shareholders can access the Fund’s disclosures and financial documents, which provide insights into the investment strategy and risk profile. Key risks include market volatility, the potential for loss of principal, and the trading of Fund shares at either premium or discount to NAV. Investors are encouraged to review these details carefully and consider the Fund’s offerings in the context of their overall investment objectives and risk tolerance.
The Virtus Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund represents a strategic option for investors seeking exposure to the growth potential within the AI and tech sectors while balancing the demand for income and capital appreciation.
