Virtus KAR Small-Cap Growth Fund Class C

The primary objective of this investment vehicle is to deliver significant long-term capital appreciation. Under typical market conditions, it allocates at least 80% of its assets to equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations. The fund actively seeks to generate extended-term gains within the small-cap segment, while simultaneously endeavoring to assume less risk compared to the broader small-cap growth market. Its strategy involves investing in a carefully curated selection of smaller businesses that the subadviser identifies as possessing sustainable competitive advantages, acquired at valuations deemed appealing.
