Virtus Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund
Virtus Convertible & Income 2024 Target Term Fund
Investment Overview
The Fund which normally invests at least 80% of its managed assets in a diversified portfolio of convertible securities and income-producing debt instruments, employs a multi-asset strategy that seeks to generate high current income by dynamically allocating assets to the following three segments of a company's capital structure:
-- Convertible securities, which offer current income, downside protection, and potential capital appreciation.
-- High yield securities, which offer high income potential and have a potentially favorable risk/reward profile, relative to other fixed income asset classes.
-- Senior secured loans which offer a diversified return due to their unique floating-rate feature, seniority in the capital structure, and historically low correlation to core fixed income.
Interest rate risk management -- the Fund's underlying asset classes have historically performed well in past rising rate environments and have exhibited low historical correlation to core fixed income.
The Fund seeks to return the original net asset value (NAV) (defined as NAV per share before the deduction of the estimated offering cost of $0.02 per share) or more at the end of a seven-year investment term ending in 2024.
The Fund has a limited term and will terminate on or around September 1, 2024, absent Trustee and shareholder approval to amend the limited term provision of the Fund's Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as provided therein.
Effective June 22, 2022, this Fund's name has changed.
Effective July 25, 2022, this Fund's subadviser has changed.

| Not Rated |
Credit ratings issued by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations assess the credit worthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Ratings are measured using a scale that ranges from AAA (highest) to NR (not rated). Not rated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality. The security's credit rating does not eliminate risk and credit ratings are subject to change. Credit Quality reflects the higher of the ratings of Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. Only one rating will be utilized if only one is available. Ratings are then adjusted to the Standard & Poor's rating tiers shown. Ratings are subject to change.

Automatic Reinvestment Plan
This plan offers shareholders a convenient way to acquire additional shares of the fund. Registered holders will be automatically placed in the Plan. If shares are held at a brokerage firm, contact your broker about participation.
Net Asset Value vs. Market Price
Net Asset Value (NAV) represents the total value of all assets held by the Fund (minus its total liabilities), divided by the total number of common shares outstanding. The net asset value returns reflect the performance of the manager. Market price is the price at which investors may purchase or sell shares of the Fund. Market price is determined in the open market by buyers and sellers, based on supply and demand. The Fund’s Market Price fluctuates throughout the day and may differ from its underlying NAV. Shares of the Fund may trade at a premium (higher than) or a discount (lower than) to NAV. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund’s net asset value could decline. The Fund has no control over the market price. The difference between the market price and the NAV (Premium/Discount) is expressed as a percentage of NAV.
