Fund Description: Virtus Newfleet Dynamic Credit ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund or Actively Managed ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the Virtus ETF Trust II, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The Virtus Newfleet Dynamic Credit ETF seeks to provide a high level of current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. The Fund is an actively managed ETF and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified Index. Instead, it uses an active investment strategy to seek to meet its investment objective. The Sub-Advisor, subject to the oversight of the Advisor and the Board, has discretion on a daily basis to manage the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. FUND STRATEGY: In seeking to achieve the Fund’s investment objective, the Sub-Adviser applies a time-tested approach to credit research to capitalize on opportunities across undervalued areas of the credit markets. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest not less than 80% of its assets in “credit investments,” which the Sub-Adviser defines as including: (i) corporate and sovereign bonds; (ii) loans (including, without limitation, through loan participations and assignments); (iii) securitized instruments (including, without limitation, mortgage-backed securities and other securities backed by pools of assets such as mortgages or other receivables); (iv) interest rate futures (including, without limitation, U.S. treasury futures); and (v) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are substantially invested in any of the foregoing types of securities. The Fund currently expects to be primarily invested in U.S. high yield corporate bonds, bank loans, and U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund may invest in credit investments of any credit quality without limitation, including, without limitation, high yield credit investments (i.e., junk bonds). The Sub-Adviser considers credit research an integral component of its high yield investment process, which emphasizes issue selection, bond sector selection and opportunistic trading. The Sub-Adviser evaluates market conditions in the context of broad macroeconomic trends and will typically seek to cause the Fund to invest in those bond sectors that the Sub-Adviser believes provide exposure to well-valued companies whose business profiles (and credit measures) are expected to improve. The Sub-Adviser principally selects securities from a broad universe of domestic high yield corporate bonds using a bottom-up, fundamental research-driven process. The Sub-Adviser also selects floating rate bank loans for the Fund’s portfolio. Although the Fund will primarily invest in the securities of U.S. issuers, the Fund may also invest in securities of foreign issuers, including those in emerging markets countries. FUND MANAGEMENT: Virtus ETF Advisers LLC serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. Newfleet Asset Management, LLC serves as the Fund’s Sub-Adviser.
