Virtus International S/C Instl ALOIX

The fund seeks to achieve its objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in companies with smaller market capitalizations. It currently defines companies with smaller market capitalizations as those with market capitalizations comparable to companies included in the MSCI ACWI ex U.S. Small Cap Index. The advisor expects to maintain a weighted-average market capitalization between 50% and 200% of the weighted-average market capitalization of the securities in the MSCI ACWI ex U.S. Small-Cap Index.
