To my fellow shareholders of Virtus Funds:
I am pleased to present this semiannual report, which reviews the performance of your Fund for the six months ended December 31, 2023.
Most markets posted positive returns in the second half of 2023. Inflation slowed measurably while the U.S. economy showed strength. The efforts of the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and other central banks to manage inflation appeared more likely to generate an economic “soft landing.” And investor optimism about the possibilities for artificial intelligence (AI) drove stocks higher. By year-end, interest rates were moderating and the Fed announced that rate cuts might be on the horizon, driving equity markets higher.
Domestic equity indexes demonstrated strong performance for the six months ended December 31, 2023. U.S. large-capitalization stocks were up 8.04%, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, while small-cap stocks returned 8.18%, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. International equities also performed well, with developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), returning 5.88%, while emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), returned 4.71%.
In fixed income markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury closed at 3.88% on December 31, 2023, up slightly from 3.81% on June 30, 2023. The broader U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 3.37% for the six-month period, while non-investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, were up 7.66%.
Thank you for entrusting the Virtus Funds with your assets. Please call our customer service team at 800-243-1574 if you have questions about your account or require assistance. We appreciate your business and remain committed to your long-term financial success.
Sincerely,
George R. Aylward
President, Virtus Funds

VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD OF July 1, 2023 TO December 31, 2023
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Virtus Investment Trust Fund (each, a “Fund”), you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases of Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges on Class C shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and service fees, and other expenses. Class P shares, Institutional Class shares, Class R6 shares and Administrative Class shares are sold without sales charges and do not incur distribution and service fees. Class R6 shares also do not incur shareholder servicing fees. For further information regarding applicable sales charges, see Note 1 in the Notes to Financial Statements. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the accompanying tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

* | Expenses are equal to the relevant Fund’s annualized expense ratio, which is net of waived fees and reimbursed expenses, if applicable, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (184) expenses were accrued in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 366 to reflect the one-half year period. |
For Funds which may invest in other funds, the annualized expense ratios noted above do not reflect fees and expenses associated with any underlying funds. If such fees and expenses had been included, the expenses would have been higher.
You can find more information about a Fund’s expenses in the Financial Statements section that follows. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, refer to that Fund’s prospectus.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

Note 1. Organization
Virtus Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
As of the date of this report, the Trust is comprised of 13 funds (each a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”), each reported in this semiannual report. Each Fund has a distinct investment objective and all of the Funds except the Silvant Focused Growth Fund and Zevenbergen Technology Fund are diversified. There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its objective(s).
The Funds have the following investment objective(s):

There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its objective(s).
The Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund and Small-Cap Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, Institutional Class shares, and Class R6 shares. The KAR Global Small-Cap Fund, KAR Health Sciences Fund, and Income & Growth Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, and Institutional Class shares. The NFJ Dividend Value Fund, NFJ International Value Fund, NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund, NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund, NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund, and Silvant Focused Growth Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, Institutional Class shares, Class R6 shares, and Administrative Class shares. The Silvant Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Zevenbergen Technology Fund offer Class A shares, Class C shares, Class P shares, Institutional Class shares and Administrative Class shares.
Class A shares of the Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50% with some exceptions. Generally, Class A shares are not subject to any charges by the Funds when redeemed; however, a 0.50% – 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be imposed on certain redemptions made within a certain period following purchases on which a finder’s fee has been paid. The period for which such CDSC applies for the Funds is 18 months. The CDSC period begins on the last day of the month preceding the month in which the purchase was made.
On May 21, 2021, all Class R shares for the Income & Growth Fund, NFJ Dividend Value Fund, NFJ International Value Fund, NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund, NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund, NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund, Silvant Focused Growth Fund, and Silvant Mid-Cap Growth Fund were converted into Class A shares of the respective Fund.
Class C shares are generally sold with a 1% CDSC, applicable if redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares and any reinvested dividends and other distributions paid on such shares, will be automatically converted to Class A shares of the same Fund following a required holding period, which as of March 1, 2021, was eight years. Effective February 26, 2021, if an investor intends to purchase greater than $999,999 of Class C shares, and the purchase would qualify for Class A shares with no load, then the purchase will automatically be made into a purchase of Class A shares, thus reducing expenses. Class P shares, Institutional Class shares, Class R6 shares, and Administrative Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or CDSC.
Class P shares are offered primarily through certain asset allocation, wrap fee and other similar programs offered by broker-dealers and other intermediaries (“service agents”) that have established a shareholder servicing relationship with the Trust on behalf of their customers. Such programs established with broker-dealers or financial intermediaries may purchase shares only if the program for which the shares are being acquired will maintain an omnibus or pooled account for each fund. Class P shares may also be offered for direct investment by other investors such as pension and profit sharing plans, employee benefit trusts and plan alliances, endowments, foundations and corporations.
Institutional Class shares are offered primarily to clients of financial intermediaries that (i) charge such clients an ongoing fee for advisory, investment, consulting, or similar services; or (ii) have entered into an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or transfer agent to offer Institutional Class shares through a no-load network or platform. Such clients may include pension and profit sharing plans, other employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations and corporations. Institutional Class shares are also offered to private and institutional clients of, or referred by, the adviser, a subadviser or their affiliates, and to Trustees of the Funds and trustees/directors of affiliated open- and closed-end funds, and directors, officers and employees of Virtus and its affiliates. If you are eligible to purchase and do purchase Institutional Class shares, you will pay no sales charge at any time. There are no distribution and service fees applicable to Institutional Class shares.

December 31, 2023
Class R6 shares are offered without a minimum initial investment to the following investors in plan level or omnibus accounts only (provided that they do not require or receive any compensation, administrative payments, sub-transfer agency payments or service payments with respect to Class R6 shares): (i) qualified retirement plans, including, but not limited to, 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, and defined benefit plans; (ii) banks and trust companies; (iii) insurance companies; (iv) financial intermediaries utilizing such shares in fee-based investment advisory programs; (v) registered investment companies; and (vi) non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Other institutional investors may be permitted to purchase Class R6 shares subject to the applicable Fund’s determination of eligibility and may be subject to a $2,500,000 minimum initial investment requirement. In addition, without a minimum initial investment requirement, Class R6 shares are available to any Trustee of the Virtus Funds and trustees/directors of affiliated open- and closed-end funds, directors, officers and employees of Virtus and its affiliates, and a spouse or domestic partner, child or minor grandchild of any such qualifying individual (in each case either individually or jointly with other investors), provided in each case that those shares are held directly with the Transfer Agent or in an eligible account. Class R6 shares do not carry sales commissions or pay Rule 12b-1 fees. No compensation, administrative payments, sub-transfer agency payments or service payments are paid to brokers or other entities from Fund assets or the Funds’ distributor’s or an affiliate’s resources on sales of or investments in Class R6 shares.
Administrative Class shares are offered primarily through employee benefit plan alliances, broker-dealers, and other intermediaries, and each Fund pays service or distribution fees to such entities for services they provide to Administrative Class shareholders.
The Funds may impose an annual fee on accounts having balances of less than $2,500. The small account fee may be waived in certain circumstances, as disclosed in the prospectuses and/or statement of additional information. The fees collected will be used to offset certain expenses of the Funds. These fees are reflected as “Less low balance account fees” in each Fund’s Statement of Operations for the period, as applicable.
Each class of shares has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that each class bears any expenses attributable specifically to that class (“class-specific expenses”) and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any Rule 12b-1 and/or shareholder service plan (“12b-1 Plan”) approved by the Board. Class P shares, Institutional Class shares, Class R6 shares, and Administrative Class shares are not subject to a 12b-1 Plan. Class-specific expenses may include shareholder servicing fees, sub-transfer agency fees, and fees under a 12b-1 Plan, as well as certain other expenses as designated by the Funds’ Treasurer and approved by the Board. Investment income, common operating expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of each Fund are borne pro-rata by the holders of each class of shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Trust is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements and for derivatives, included in Note 3 below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.
A. | Security Valuation |
| The Fund’s Board of Trustees have designated the investment adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period. Each Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period. |
| • | Level 1 – | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities). |
| • | Level 2 – | prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| • | Level 3 – | prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
A description of the valuation techniques applied to a Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Illiquid, restricted equity securities and illiquid private placements are internally fair valued by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee, and are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Funds fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
December 31, 2023
Debt instruments, including convertible bonds, and restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, activity of the underlying equities, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt instruments that are internally fair valued by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Listed derivatives, such as options, that are actively traded are valued at the last posted settlement price from the exchange where they are principally traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts and equity-linked instruments, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value a Fund’s net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Fund. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
B. | Security Transactions and Investment Income |
| Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recognized on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt instruments are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Conversion premium is not amortized. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds. |
| Dividend income from REITs and MLP investments is recorded using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in distributions received from such investments based on historical information and other industry sources. The return of capital portion of the estimate is a reduction to investment income and a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed their cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. A Fund may invest in MLPs that make distributions that are primarily attributable to return of capital. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT and MLP after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts. |
C. | Income Taxes |
| Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is the intention of each Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made. |
| Certain Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. |
| As a result of several court cases, in certain countries across the European Union, the Fund filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries (“EU reclaims”). Income recognized, if any, for EU reclaims is reflected as European Union tax reclaims in the Statement of Operations. Any fees associated with these filings are reflected as European Union tax reclaim contingent fees in the Statement of Operations. When uncertainty exists as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these EU reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements. For U.S. income tax purposes, EU reclaims received by the Fund, if any, may reduce the amount of foreign taxes Fund shareholders can use as tax deductions or credits on their income tax returns. |
| Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Each Fund’s U.S. federal income tax return is generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after it is filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction. |
D. | Distributions to Shareholders |
| Distributions are recorded by each Fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. |
E. | Expenses |
| Expenses incurred together by a Fund and other affiliated mutual funds are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each such fund, except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund and each such other fund, or an alternative allocation method, can be more appropriately used. |
VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
December 31, 2023
| In addition to the net annual operating expenses that a Fund bears directly, the shareholders of a Fund indirectly bear the pro-rata expenses of any underlying mutual funds in which the Fund invests. |
F. | Foreign Currency Transactions |
| Non-U.S. investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the foreign currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period. Cost of investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at the trade date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the trade and settlement date of a portfolio transaction is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the date income is accrued and the date it is paid is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. For fixed income instruments, the Funds bifurcate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. For equity securities, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held and such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. |
G. | Convertible Securities |
| Certain Funds may invest a portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds’ investments in convertible securities include features which render them sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. The value of structured/synthetic convertible securities can be affected by interest rate changes and credit risks of the issuer. Such securities may be structured in ways that limit their potential for capital appreciation, and the entire value of the security may be at risk of loss depending on the performance of the underlying equity security. Consequently, the Funds are exposed to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but typically still less than that of the underlying stock. |
H. | When-issued Purchases and Forward Commitments (Delayed Delivery) |
| Certain Funds may engage in when-issued or forward commitment transactions. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are also known as delayed delivery transactions. Delayed delivery transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell a security at a future date (ordinarily up to 90 days later). When-issued or forward commitments enable the Funds to lock in what is believed to be an attractive price or yield on a particular security for a period of time, regardless of future changes in interest rates. Each Fund records when-issued and forward commitment securities on the trade date. Each Fund maintains collateral for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis begin earning interest on the settlement date. |
I. | Leveraged Loans |
| Certain Funds may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. Leveraged loans are generally non-investment grade and often involve borrowers that are highly leveraged. The Funds may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Leveraged loans are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the leveraged loan. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When investing in loan participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan participation and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the leveraged loan with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the leveraged loan. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. |
| A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Leveraged loans may involve foreign borrowers and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Direct indebtedness of emerging countries involves a risk that the government entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay the principal and interest when due. |
| The leveraged loans have floating rate loan interests which generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally LIBOR, SOFR, the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. When a leveraged loan is purchased a Fund may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, a Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a leveraged loan. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a leveraged loan by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid. |
| A Fund may invest in both secured loans and “covenant lite” loans which have few or no financial maintenance covenants that would require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics. The lack of financial maintenance covenants in covenant lite loans increases the risk that the applicable Fund will experience difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of such loans, which may result in losses, especially during a downturn in the credit cycle. |
J. | Warrants |
| The Funds may receive warrants. Warrants are securities that are usually issued together with a debt instrument or preferred stock and that give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specified price. Warrants may be freely transferable and are often traded on major exchanges. Warrants normally have a life that is measured in years and entitle the holder to buy common stock of a company at a price that is usually higher than the market price at the time the warrant is issued. Warrants may entail greater risks than certain other types of investments. |
VIRTUS INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
December 31, 2023
| Generally, warrants do not carry the right to receive dividends or exercise voting rights with respect to the underlying securities, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, their value does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and they cease to have value if they are not exercised on or before their expiration date. If the market price of the underlying stock does not exceed the exercise price during the life of the warrant, the warrant will expire worthless. Warrants may increase the potential profit or loss to be realized from the investment as compared with investing the same amount in the underlying securities. Similarly, the percentage increase or decrease in the value of an equity security warrant may be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the value of the underlying common stock. Warrants may relate to the purchase of equity or debt instruments. Debt obligations with warrants attached to purchase equity securities have many characteristics of convertible securities and their prices may, to some degree, reflect the performance of the underlying stock. Debt obligations also may be issued with warrants attached to purchase additional debt instruments at the same coupon rate. A decline in interest rates would permit a Fund to sell such warrants at a profit. If interest rates rise, these warrants would generally expire with no value. |
K. | Securities Lending |
| The Funds may loan securities to qualified brokers through a securities lending agency agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”). Under the securities lending policy, when lending securities a Fund is required to maintain collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan bringing the collateral market value in line with the required percent. Due to timing of collateral adjustments, the market value of collateral held with respect to a loaned security, may be more or less than the value of the security on loan. |
| Collateral may consist of cash and securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. Cash collateral is invested in a short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the broker are recorded as income by the Fund net of fees and rebates charged/paid by BNYM for its services as securities lending agent and in connection with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the declining value of the collateral. |
| Securities lending transactions are entered into by each Fund under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (“MSLA”) which permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. |
| As of December 31, 2023, the securities loaned were subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis as follows: |
Fund | | Value of Securities on Loan | | Cash Collateral Received(1) | | Net Amount(2) |
Small-Cap Fund
| | $ 1,528 | | $ 1,528 | | $ — |
(1) | Collateral received in excess of the value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions has been used for the purchase of securities as disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. |
(2) | Net amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default. |
The following table reflects a breakdown of investments made from cash collateral received from lending activities and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of December 31, 2023 for the Fund:
Fund | | Investment of Cash Collateral | | Overnight and Continuous |
Small-Cap Fund
| | Money Market Mutual Fund | | $1,679 |
Note 3. Derivative Financial Instruments and Transactions
($ reported in thousands)
Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to enable investors to understand how and why a Fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are such disclosures and accounting policies for each specific type of derivative instrument used by certain Funds.
A. | Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts |
| A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by a Fund, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Fund are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of the contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without the delivery of foreign currency. |
| During the six months ended December 31, 2023, none of the Funds entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. |

B. | Options Contracts |
| An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed upon price. Certain Funds may purchase or write both put and call options on portfolio securities. A Fund doing so is subject to equity price risk and/or foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. |
| When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. Holdings of the Fund designated to cover outstanding written options are noted in the Schedules of Investments. Purchased options are reported as an asset within “Investment in securities at value” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Written options are reported as a liability within “Written options at value.” Changes in value of the purchased option are included in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments” in the Statements of Operations. Changes in value of written options are included in “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from written options” in the Statements of Operations. |
| If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” in the Statements of Operations. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as “Net realized gain (loss) from written options” in the Statements of Operations. |
| The risk in writing call options is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price/foreign currency rate of the referenced security/currency increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price/foreign currency rate of the referenced security/currency decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. Writers (sellers) of options are subject to unlimited risk of loss, as the seller will be obligated to deliver or take delivery of the security at a predetermined price which may, upon exercise of the option, be significantly different from the then-market value. |
| During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Income & Growth Fund invested in written covered call options contracts in an attempt to manage equity price risk and with the purpose of generating realized gains. |

December 31, 2023
| A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on derivatives bought or sold OTC, rather than traded on a securities exchange, is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Fund. For OTC purchased options, each Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by a Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund, and not the counterparty to perform. |
| With exchange traded purchased options and futures and centrally cleared swaps generally speaking, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro-rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. |
| In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, each Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. |
D. | Collateral Requirements and Master Netting Agreements (“MNA”) |
| For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds and the counterparty. |
| Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Typically, the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. |
| For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
| The following table presents the Income & Growth Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a MNA and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Funds as of December 31, 2023: |
At December 31, 2023, the Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities (by type) are as follows: | | |

H. | Investments with Affiliates |
| The Funds are permitted to purchase assets from or sell assets to certain related affiliates under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of assets by the Funds from or to another fund or portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers comply with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. |
| During the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Funds did not engage in any transactions pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. |
I. | Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan |
| The Trust provides a deferred compensation plan for its Trustees who receive compensation from the Trust. Under the deferred compensation plan, Trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Trust, and then, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, in turn, may be invested in the shares of affiliated or unaffiliated mutual funds selected by the participating Trustees. Investments in such instruments are included in “Other assets” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at December 31, 2023. |
| In calendar year 2018 and certain other periods prior to January 1, 2020, the Funds maintained a different deferred compensation plan pursuant to which each Trustee who was not affiliated with Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC had the opportunity to elect not to receive all or a portion of his or her fees from the respective Fund on a current basis, but instead to receive in a subsequent period chosen by the Trustee an amount equal to the value of such compensation if such compensation had been invested in one or more series of Virtus Investment Trust (then known as Allianz Funds) and Virtus Strategy Trust (then known as Allianz Funds Multi-Strategy Trust) selected by such Trustee from and after the normal payment dates for such compensation. The deferred compensation program was closed to new deferrals effective January 1, 2020, and all Trustee fees earned with respect to service in calendar year 2020 were paid in cash, on a current basis. The Trustees do not currently receive any pension or retirement benefits from the Funds. |
| In addition to the Trustee fees deferred in the current period, the Funds still have obligations with respect to Trustee fees deferred in 2018 and in other periods prior to January 1, 2020, and will continue to have such obligations until all deferred Trustee fees are paid out pursuant to the terms of the applicable deferred compensation plan. |

Note 8. Credit and Market Risk and Asset Concentration
In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced the intention to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. However, after subsequent announcements by the FCA, the LIBOR administrator and other regulators, certain of the most widely used LIBORs continued until June 30, 2023. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, which is regulated and authorized by FCA, and the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publishing certain other LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021. On April 3, 2023, the FCA announced its decision to require LIBOR’s administrator to continue to publish the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month U.S. dollar settings under an unrepresentative synthetic methodology until September 30, 2024. On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Act (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”) was enacted into law which directs the Federal Reserve Board, as a fallback mechanism, to identify benchmark rates based on SOFR to replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve adopted regulations implementing the LIBOR Act. The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The discontinuation of LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets and may present a material risk for certain market participants, including the Funds. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could lead to significant short- and long-term uncertainty and market instability. The risks associated with this discontinuation and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. It remains uncertain the effects such changes will have on the Funds, issuers of instruments in which the Funds invest, and the financial markets generally.
Local, regional or global events such as war or military conflict, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of each Fund’s portfolio manager(s) to invest each Fund’s assets as intended.
Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Since these markets are often small, they may be more likely to suffer sharp and frequent price changes or long-term price depression because of adverse publicity, investor perceptions or the actions of a few large investors. They may also have policies that restrict investment by foreigners, or that prevent foreign investors from withdrawing their money at will.
Certain emerging markets may also face other significant internal or external risks, including the risk of war and civil unrest. Each of these factors can affect the value and liquidity of the assets of a Fund. Failure to generate adequate earnings from foreign trade would make it difficult for an emerging

market country to service foreign debt. Disruptions resulting from social and political factors may cause the securities markets of emerging market countries to close. If this were to occur, the liquidity and value of a Fund’s assets invested in corporate debt obligations of emerging market companies would decline.
The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact a Fund’s liquidity and performance.
Sanctions threatened or imposed may result in a decline in the value and liquidity of a Fund’s assets. The securities of a Fund may be deemed to have a zero value. A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.
For all these reasons, investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. To the extent that a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a particular emerging market, the Fund will be more vulnerable to financial, economic, political and other developments in that country, and conditions that negatively impact that country will have a greater impact on the Fund as compared with a fund that does not have its holdings concentrated in a particular country.
High-yield/high-risk securities typically entail greater price volatility and/or principal and interest rate risk. There is a greater chance that an issuer will not
be able to make principal and interest payments on time. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high-yield/high-risk securities may be complex,
and as a result, it may be more difficult for the Adviser and/or subadviser to accurately predict risk.
Certain Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in the pursuit of their investment objectives. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on a Fund, positive or negative, than if the Fund did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.
At December 31, 2023, the following Funds held securities issued by various companies in specific sectors and industries as detailed below:
Fund | | Sector /Industry | | Percentage of Total Investments |
Silvant Focused Growth Fund
| | Information Technology | | 45% |

Note 9. Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and in separate agreements between each Trustee and the Trust, its Trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and its funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust and the Funds enter into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s and/or the Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust or the Funds and that have not occurred. However, neither the Trust nor the Funds have had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements, and they expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category. Each Fund will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities. The following Fund held securities that were considered to be restricted at December 31, 2023:

Note 11. Redemption Facility
($ reported in thousands)
On June 14, 2021, the Funds and certain other affiliated funds entered into a $250,000 unsecured line of credit (“Credit Agreement”). This Credit Agreement, as amended, is with a commercial bank that allows the Funds to borrow cash from the bank to manage large unexpected redemptions and trade fails, up to a limit of one-third or one-fifth, as applicable, of each Fund’s total net assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This Credit Agreement has a term of 364 days and has been renewed for a period up to July 6, 2024. Effective March 10, 2022, interest is charged at the higher of the SOFR or the Federal Funds rate plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed. Commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance. Total commitment fees paid for the six months ended December 31, 2023, are included in the “Interest expense and/or commitment fees” line on the Statements of Operations. The Funds and other affiliated funds that are parties are individually, and not jointly, liable for their particular advances, if any, under the Credit Agreement. The lending bank has the ability to require repayment of outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement upon certain circumstances such as an event of default.
The following Funds had outstanding loans during the six months ended. The borrowings were valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Note 13. Regulatory Matters and Litigation
From time to time, the Trust, the Funds, the Adviser and/or subadvisers and/or their affiliates may be involved in litigation and arbitration as well as examinations and investigations by various regulatory bodies, including the SEC, involving compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting their activities. At this time, the Adviser believes that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually or in aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.
Note 14. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered reference rates as of the end of 2021. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. On December 21, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 to defer the sunset date of ASU 2020-04 until December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Management is currently evaluating ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2020-06, but does not believe there will be a material impact.
Note 15. New Regulatory Pronouncement
In October 2022, the SEC adopted a rule and form amendments relating to tailored shareholder reports for mutual funds and ETFs; and fee information in investment company advertisements. The rule and form amendments will require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit streamlined shareholder reports that highlight key information to investors. The rule amendments will require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective in January 2023 and there is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment with a compliance date of July 2024.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Virtus Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is responsible for determining whether to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VIA”) and the continuation of each subadvisory agreement (each, a “Subadvisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Subadvisory Agreements”) (together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) among the Trust, VIA and NFJ Investment Group LLC (“NFJ”) with respect to Virtus NFJ Dividend Value Fund, Virtus NFJ International Value Fund, Virtus NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund, Virtus NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund and Virtus NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund; among the Trust, VIA and Voya Investment Management Co.

At meetings held on November 1, 2023, and November 13-15, 2023 (the “Meetings”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (such Act, the “1940 Act” and such Trustees, the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the continuation of each Agreement, as further discussed below. In addition, prior to the Meetings, the Independent Trustees met with their independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the information provided by management and submitted questions to management, and they considered the responses provided.
In connection with the approval of the Agreements, the Board requested and evaluated information provided by VIA and each Subadviser which, in the Board’s view, constituted information necessary for the Board to form a judgment as to whether the renewal of each of the Agreements would be in the best interests of each applicable Fund and its respective shareholders. The Board also considered information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings with respect to the services provided by VIA and the Subadvisers, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results and periodic presentations from the Subadvisers with respect to the Fund(s) they manage. The Board noted the affiliation of certain of the Subadvisers with VIA and any potential conflicts of interest.
The Board was separately advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process. For each Agreement, the Board considered all the criteria with respect to the applicable Fund and its shareholders. In its deliberations, the Board considered various factors, including those discussed below, none of which were controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Independent Trustees also discussed the proposed approval of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board reviewed and analyzed the factors it deemed relevant, including: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by VIA and each of the Subadvisers; (b) the performance of the Funds as compared to an appropriate peer group and an appropriate index; (c) the level and method of computing each Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees, and comparisons of the Funds’ advisory fee rates and total expenses with those of a group of funds with similar investment objective(s); (d) the profitability of VIA under the Advisory Agreement; (e) any “fall-out” benefits to VIA, the Subadvisers and their affiliates (i.e., ancillary benefits realized by VIA, the Subadvisers or their affiliates from VIA’s or the applicable Subadviser’s relationship with the Trust); (f) the anticipated effect of growth in size on each Fund’s performance and expenses; (g) fees paid to VIA and Subadvisers by comparable accounts, as applicable; (h) possible conflicts of interest; and (i) the terms of the Agreements.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees received in advance of the Meetings information provided by VIA and each Subadviser, including completed questionnaires, concerning a number of topics, including, among other items, such company��s investment philosophy, investment process and strategies, resources and personnel, operations, compliance structure and procedures, and overall performance. The Trustees noted that most of the Funds are managed using a “manager of managers” structure that generally involves the use of one or more subadvisers to manage some or all of a Fund’s portfolio. Under this structure, VIA is responsible for the management of the Funds’ investment programs and for evaluating and selecting subadvisers on an ongoing basis and making any recommendations to the Board regarding hiring, retaining or replacing subadvisers. In considering the Advisory Agreement with VIA, the Board considered VIA’s process for supervising and managing the respective Funds’ subadviser, if any, including (a) VIA’s ability to select and monitor the subadvisers; (b) VIA’s ability to provide the services necessary to monitor the subadvisers’ compliance with the Fund’s(s’) respective investment objective(s), policies and restrictions as well as provide other oversight activities; and (c) VIA’s ability and willingness to identify instances in which a subadviser should be replaced and to carry out the required changes. The Trustees also considered: (a) the experience and capability of VIA’s management and other personnel; (b) the financial condition of VIA, and whether it had the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds; (c) the quality of VIA’s own regulatory and legal compliance policies, procedures and systems; (d) the nature, extent and quality of administrative, transfer agency and other services provided by VIA and its affiliates to the Funds; (e) VIA’s supervision of the Funds’ other service providers; and (f) VIA’s risk management processes. It was noted that affiliates of VIA serve as administrator, transfer agent and distributor of the Funds. The Board also took into account its knowledge of VIA’s management and the quality of the performance of VIA’s duties through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year, as well as information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.
With respect to the services provided by each of the Subadvisers, the Board considered information provided to the Board by each Subadviser, as well as information provided throughout the past year. With respect to the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board noted that each Subadviser provided portfolio management, compliance with the respective Fund’s(s’) investment policies and procedures, compliance with applicable securities laws and assurances thereof. The Board also noted that VIA’s and the Subadvisers’ management of the Funds is subject to the oversight of the Board and must be carried out in accordance with the investment objective(s), policies and restrictions set forth in the Funds’ prospectuses and statement of additional information. In considering the renewal of the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board also considered each Subadviser’s investment management process, including (a) the experience and capability of the Subadviser’s management and other personnel committed by the Subadviser to the respective Fund(s); (b) the financial condition of the Subadviser; (c) the quality of the Subadviser’s regulatory and legal compliance policies, procedures and systems; and (d) the Subadviser’s brokerage and trading practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars. The Board also took into account each Subadviser’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board noted each Subadviser’s regulatory history, including whether it was currently involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate.
After considering all of the information provided to them, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by VIA and each Subadviser were satisfactory and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that each would continue to provide a high quality of investment services to the applicable Fund(s).

Investment Performance
The Board considered performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, as well as a report for the Funds prepared by Broadridge (the “Broadridge Report”), an independent third-party provider of investment company data, furnished in connection with the contract renewal process. The Broadridge Report presented each Fund’s performance relative to a peer group of other mutual funds (the “Performance Universe”) and relevant indexes, as selected by Broadridge. The Board also considered performance information presented by management and took into account management’s discussion of the same, including the effect of market conditions on each Fund’s performance. The Board noted that it also reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about both the Funds’ performance results and portfolio compositions, as well as each Subadviser’s investment strategies. The Board noted VIA’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadviser. The Board also noted each Subadviser’s performance record with respect to each applicable Fund(s). The Board was mindful of VIA’s focus on each Subadviser’s performance and noted VIA’s performance in monitoring and responding to any performance issues with respect to the Funds. The Board also took into account its discussions with management regarding factors that contributed to the performance of each Fund.
The Board considered, among other performance data, the information set forth below with respect to the performance of each Fund for the period ended March 31, 2023. The Board also reviewed comparisons of each Fund’s contractual and net management fee and net total expense levels to those of its peer universe when considering Fund performance.
Virtus Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Universe for the 1-year period, outperformed the median for the 3- and 10-year periods, and that the Fund’s performance was equal to the median for the 5-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 1- and 5-year periods and outperformed its benchmark for the 3- and 10-year periods.
Virtus Income & Growth Fund. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Universe for the 1-year period and outperformed the median for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
Virtus KAR Global Small-Cap Fund. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Universe for the 1- and 3-year periods and underperformed its median for the 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-periods.
Virtus KAR Health Sciences Fund. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 1-year period and outperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 3- and 5-year periods.
Virtus NFJ Dividend Value Fund. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
Virtus NFJ International Value Fund. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
Virtus NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
Virtus NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 1- and 10-year periods and underperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 3- and 5-year periods.

Virtus NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 1-year period and underperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
Virtus Silvant Focused Growth Fund. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Universe for the 1-year period and outperformed the median for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
Virtus Silvant Mid-Cap Growth Fund. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 1-year period and outperformed both the median of its Performance Universe and its benchmark for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
Virtus Small-Cap Fund. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the median of its Performance Universe for the 1- and 5-year periods and underperformed the median of its Performance Universe for the 3-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods.
Virtus Zevenbergen Technology Fund. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the median of its Performance Universe for the 1- and 3-year periods, performed in line with the median for the 5-year period and outperformed the median for the 10-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.
The Board noted that each Fund other than those managed by NFJ had changed from a prior subadviser to a new sub-adviser or to being managed directly by VIA in July of 2022 and that therefore, the performance data for those Funds in part reflects the performance of a prior subadviser. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded that each Fund’s overall performance, taking into account reasons discussed for certain Fund’s underperformance and/or actions taken to address the underperformance, were satisfactory.
Management Fees and Total Expenses
The Board considered the fees charged to the Funds for advisory services as well as the total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons of each Fund’s contractual and net management fee and net total expense level to those of its peer universe (the “Expense Universe”) and ranked according to quintile (the first quintile being lowest and, therefore, best in these expense component rankings, and fifth being highest and, therefore, worst in these expense component rankings). In comparing each Fund’s net management fee to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that in the materials presented by management such fee was comprised of advisory and administration fees. The Board also noted that all of the Funds had expense caps in place to limit the total expenses incurred by the Funds and their shareholders. The Board also noted that any subadvisory fees were paid by VIA out of its advisory fees rather than paid separately by the Funds. In this regard, the Board took into account management’s discussion with respect to the advisory/subadvisory fee structure, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by VIA after payment of a subadvisory fee. The Board also took into account the size of each of the Funds and the impact on expenses and economies of scale. The Subadvisers provided, and the Board considered, fee information of comparable accounts managed by the Subadvisers, as applicable.
In addition to the foregoing, the Board considered, among other data, the information set forth below with respect to each Fund’s fees and expenses. In each case, the Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses, including the type and size of the Fund relative to the other funds in its Expense Universe.
Virtus Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the first quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses after waivers were in the second quintile of the Expense Universe.

Virtus Income & Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the fourth quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses after waivers were in the third quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus KAR Global Small-Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee and net total expenses after waivers were in the fourth quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus KAR Health Sciences Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the third quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses after waivers were in the fourth quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus NFJ Dividend Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the first quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses after waivers were in the second quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus NFJ International Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the first quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses were in the third quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus NFJ Large-Cap Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the second quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses after waivers were in the third quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus NFJ Mid-Cap Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee and net total expenses after waivers were in the first quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus NFJ Small-Cap Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee and net total expenses after waivers were in the first quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus Silvant Focused Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the first quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses after waivers were in the second quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus Silvant Mid-Cap Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the first quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses after waivers were in the third quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus Small-Cap Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the first quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses after waivers were in the second quintile of the Expense Universe.
Virtus Zevenbergen Technology Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee was in the fifth quintile of the Expense Universe and net total expenses after waivers were in the fourth quintile of the Expense Universe.
The Board concluded that the advisory and subadvisory fees for each Fund, including with any proposed amendments, were fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality and the other factors considered.
Profitability
The Board also considered certain information relating to profitability that had been provided by VIA. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the overall profitability, as well as on a fund-by-fund basis, of VIA for its management of the Funds, as well as its profits and those of its affiliates for managing and providing other services to the Trust, such as distribution, transfer agency and administrative services provided to the Funds by VIA affiliates. In addition to the fees paid to VIA and its affiliates, including the applicable Subadvisers, the Board considered any other benefits derived by VIA or its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Board reviewed the methodology used to allocate costs to each Fund, taking into account the fact that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may

each be reasonable while producing different results. The Board concluded that the profitability to VIA and its affiliates from each Fund was reasonable in light of the quality of the services rendered to the Funds by VIA and its affiliates as well as other factors.
In considering the profitability to the Subadvisers in connection with their relationships to the Funds, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreements are paid by VIA out of the fees that VIA receives under the Advisory Agreement, so that Fund shareholders are not directly impacted by those fees. In considering the reasonableness of the fees payable by VIA to the Subadvisers, the Board noted that, because the Subadvisers are affiliates of VIA, such profitability might be directly or indirectly shared by VIA. For each of the above reasons, the Board concluded that the profitability to the Subadvisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds was not a material factor in approval of the Subadvisory Agreements.
Economies of Scale
The Board received and discussed information concerning whether VIA realizes economies of scale as the Funds’ assets grow. The Board noted that expense caps were in place for the Funds. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ management fee and subadvisory fee structure. The Board also took into account the current sizes of the Funds. The Board also noted that VIA had agreed to implement an extension of each Fund’s expense cap through October 31, 2024. The Board then concluded that no changes to the advisory fee structure of the Funds with respect to economies of scale were necessary at this time. The Board noted that VIA and the Funds may realize certain economies of scale if the assets of the Funds were to increase, particularly in relationship to certain fixed costs, and that shareholders of the Funds would have an opportunity to benefit from these economies of scale.
For similar reasons as stated above with respect to the Subadviser’s profitability, and based upon the current sizes of the Fund(s) managed by each Subadviser, the Board concluded that the potential for economies of scale in the Subadviser’s management of the applicable Funds was not a material factor in the approval of the Subadvisory Agreements at this time.
Other Factors
The Board considered other benefits that may be realized by VIA and each Subadviser and their respective affiliates from their relationships with the applicable Fund(s). Among them, the Board recognized that VP Distributors, LLC, an affiliate of VIA, NFJ, KAR, Silvant and ZCI, serves as the distributor for the Trust, and, as such, receives payments pursuant to Rule 12b-1 from the Funds to compensate it for providing selling activities, which could lead to growth in the Trust’s assets and corresponding benefits from such growth, including economies of scale. The Board noted that an affiliate of VIA, NFJ, KAR, Silvant and ZCI also provides administrative and transfer agency services to the Trust. The Board noted management’s discussion of the fact that, while NFJ is an affiliate of VIA, there are no other direct benefits to NFJ or VIA in providing investment advisory services to the Funds, other than the fee to be earned under the applicable Agreement. There may be certain indirect benefits gained, including to the extent that serving the Funds could provide the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional portfolios of the Trust or certain reputational benefits.
Conclusion
Based on all of the foregoing considerations, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that approval of each Agreement, as amended, was in the best interests of each applicable Fund and its respective shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Agreements, as amended, with respect to each Fund.
