About VABS
Newfleet Asset Management (“Newfleet”), a division of Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC, the Fund’s sub-adviser, seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing in asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), including commercial MBS and residential MBS. ABS and MBS may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or issued by non-government entities, such as commercial banks or other private lenders. The Fund is an actively managed ETF and, thus, does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index of securities. Instead, it uses an active investment strategy that seeks to meet its investment objective. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest not less than 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in investment grade tranches of ABS and MBS, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such investments. The Fund may use derivatives, such as credit default swaps, to increase or hedge (decrease) investment exposure to various fixed income sectors and instruments. The Fund will invest exclusively in debt tranches of ABS and MBS. The types of ABS in which the Fund may invest include those backed by auto loans, timeshare receivables, consumer loans, equipment leases, rentals, whole business securitizations, credit card receivables, and student loans, as well as other types of ABS that Newfleet determines are appropriate for investment. There is no limitation on the maturity of the Fund’s debt investments. The ABS and MBS in which the Fund invests are generally purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and are therefore subject to certain resale restrictions. The Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in MBS, which shall include all types of agency and non-agency MBS. In addition, from time to time the Fund may focus its investments (i.e., invest more than 15% of its total assets) in one or more particular sectors. As of July 31, 2025, the Fund focused its investments in the financials sector.
