About VLDRX

Virtus Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund Class R6 is an actively managed short‑term bond mutual fund focused on delivering a high level of total return with a competitive stream of current income while constraining interest‑rate sensitivity. The strategy emphasizes a low overall duration—typically in the 1 to 3.5 year range—aiming to limit net asset value fluctuations when rates move. It invests across multiple higher‑quality, liquid fixed income sectors, drawing on Newfleet’s multi‑sector research and risk management to allocate among government, securitized, and investment‑grade corporate markets. The fund pays distributions monthly and targets a balance of income generation and capital preservation within the short‑term bond category. As an institutional R6 share class, it is designed for retirement plans and large platforms that seek cost efficiency and broad diversification in a core short‑duration allocation. The fund’s role in the market is to serve as a lower‑volatility fixed income building block, offering diversification benefits and interest‑rate risk mitigation relative to intermediate and long‑duration bond strategies.
