SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To be held on June 28, 2022

PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees of the Virtus Alternative Solutions Trust (“VAST”), Virtus Asset Trust (“VAT”), Virtus Equity Trust (“VET”) and Virtus Opportunities Trust (“VOT”), each a Delaware statutory trust, altogether referred to herein as the “Trusts.” Each series of a Trust is referred to as a “Fund” and, collectively, as the “Funds” unless otherwise specified. The Funds identified in Proposal 2 of the Proxy Statement are referred to herein as the “Manager of Managers Funds.” The proxies will be used at the special meeting of shareholders to be held on June 28, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. (the “Meeting”) and any adjournment(s) thereof. The Meeting will be held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders. In light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus outbreak, the Meeting with be held in a virtual meeting format only. To participate in the Meeting, shareholders must register in advance by visiting https://www.viewproxy.com/VirtusFunds/broadridgevsm/.

This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Special Meeting and the proxy card are first being mailed to shareholders on or about June 10, 2022 or as soon as practicable thereafter. The close of business on May 16, 2022 has been fixed as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Each shareholder of VAST, VAT, VET and VOT shall be entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value (determined as of the Record Date) of each share owned by such shareholder, on any matter on which such shareholder is entitled to vote, and each fractional dollar amount shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. The number of shares outstanding on the Record Date is listed on Appendix B attached to this Proxy Statement.

Copies of the Trusts’ most recent annual and/or semi-annual reports are available free of charge via the Internet at www.virtus.com, by calling 800-243-1574, or by writing Virtus Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 9874, Providence, RI 02940-8074. A copy of this proxy statement is also available via the Internet at the Internet address provided on the proxy card.

It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail. Supplementary solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile, Internet or personal contact by representatives of the Trusts. Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. has been engaged to assist in the distribution and tabulation of proxies and to assist in the solicitation of proxies. The anticipated cost of such solicitation services is approximately $5,250,000. The proxy solicitation costs related to Proposal 1 will be allocated to each Fund within each Trust based on average net assets. The proxy solicitation costs related to each of the other Proposals will be allocated to the Funds that are voting on that Proposal and, to the extent possible, will be paid directly by such Fund or will be allocated based on average net assets.

Any shareholder submitting a proxy has the power to revoke it prior to its use by attending and voting at the Meeting, by mailing a notice of revocation to the Secretary at the principal office of the Trust, or by executing a superseding proxy by telephone or through the Internet prior to the meeting. All properly executed but unmarked proxies received before the Meeting will be voted FOR the approval of all of the proposals contained in this Proxy Statement.

Thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the outstanding shares of a Trust must be present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business for that Trust. If the necessary quorum to transact business is not obtained, the persons named as proxies on the proxy card may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting, in accordance with applicable law, to permit the further solicitation of proxies. In the event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes have not been received, the Meeting may be adjourned. Any such adjournment would require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting on the adjournment. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that are entitled to vote in favor of the proposals, and all properly executed but unmarked proxies in favor of such adjournment, and will vote against any such adjournment those proxies that they have been instructed to vote against the proposals. Proxies received with an instruction to abstain from voting will abstain from voting on any adjourned proposal. A vote may be taken on the proposal in this proxy statement prior to any such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval.

Votes cast by proxy or at the Meeting will be counted by persons appointed by the Funds as inspectors of election for the meeting. Each shareholder of VAST, VAT, VET, and VOT is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of each share owned by such shareholder. Fractional shares are entitled to a proportionate fractional vote, which will be counted. The inspectors of election will count the total number of votes

cast “for” approval of a proposal for purposes of determining whether sufficient affirmative votes have been cast. Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have the discretionary voting power on a particular matter) will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote on the matter for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

With respect to the election of Trustees (Proposal 1), all Nominees under Proposal 1 receiving a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders of each Trust will be elected as Trustees, so neither abstentions nor broker non-votes have an effect on the outcome of the proposal. Approval of Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5 requires the “affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares” of each applicable Fund at the close of business on the record date. For this purpose, an affirmative vote of a majority of a Fund’s outstanding shares is defined by the 1940 Act, as the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present in person or by proxy at the Meeting or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

Because “affirmative” votes are necessary to approve proposals 2-5, abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of negative votes on these proposals. Treating broker non-votes as shares voted against a proposal may result in a proposal not being approved, even though the votes cast in favor of the proposal would have been sufficient to approve the proposal if some or all of the broker non-votes had been withheld. The Funds expect that broker-dealer firms holding shares of the Funds’ stock in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on the election of Trustees. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the NYSE, such broker-dealers may grant authority to the proxies designated by the Funds to vote on the election of Trustees for the Funds if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. Certain broker-dealer firms may exercise discretion over shares held in their names for which no instructions are received by voting such shares in the same proportion as they have voted shares for which they have received instructions.

In tallying shareholder votes, proxies that reflect abstentions or “broker non-votes” (shares held by brokers or nominees as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and either (i) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power or (ii) the broker or nominee returns the proxy but expressly declines

to vote on a particular matter) will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and effectively will be a vote against the election of Trustees.

Proposal 1 will be voted on by shareholders of the Funds voting at the Trust level. Proposal 2 will be voted on by shareholders of the Manager of Managers Funds, each voting at the Fund level. Proposal 3 will be voted on by shareholders of the Virtus Real Estate Securities Fund, Virtus Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and Virtus Vontobel Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, each voting at the Fund level. Proposal 4 will be voted on by shareholders of the Virtus Real Estate Securities Fund and the Virtus Multi-Sector Short-Term Bond Fund, each voting at the Fund level. Proposal 5 will be voted on by shareholders of the Virtus Silvant Large Cap Growth Stock Fund, voting at the Fund level.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDATION

Each Board of Trustees met on March 2, 2022, in a virtual meeting format in light of public health concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19, to discuss the proposals contained in this Proxy Statement. Each Board voted unanimously to approve the proposals. Each Board of Trustees recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the nominees named in Proposal 1 and “FOR” all of the proposals contained in this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 1: TO ELECT SEVEN TRUSTEES
TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

It is proposed that the seven nominees described herein (the “Nominees”), four of whom currently serve as Trustees of the Trusts, be elected to the Board at the Meeting. If elected, the seven Nominees would join five current Trustees who were previously elected to the Board of each Trust by shareholders, and would constitute a full Board of twelve Trustees. Trustees would serve until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. The Agreement and Declaration of Trust (“Declaration of Trust”) of each Trust does not require the annual election of Trustees. Further, the Declarations of Trust provide that any vacancy resulting from any reason, including the resignation of a Trustee, may be filled by a majority of the remaining Trustees, provided that immediately after filling any such vacancy at least two-thirds of the Trustees holding office have been elected to such office by the shareholders at a meeting called for the purpose. Biographical information regarding each of the nominees is provided below.

The role of each Trust’s Board is to provide general oversight of the Trust’s business, and to ensure that the Trust is operated for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees meet at least quarterly and review the Funds’ performance and oversee the services provided to the Trust by the investment adviser, subadvisers and the Trust’s other service providers. During each Trust’s most recent fiscal year, the Board met five times in regularly scheduled meetings and six, five, five and five times in special meetings for VAST, VAT, VET, and VOT, respectively, with all Trustees attending at least 75 percent of the meetings.

There are a number of legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the composition of the Trusts’ Board. In addition to the requirements of the governing documents of the Trusts discussed above, the 1940 Act permits the existing members of a mutual fund’s board of directors/trustees to appoint new members in certain circumstances. Mutual funds are required to call a shareholder meeting to elect board members if at any time less than a majority of the members holding office have been elected by shareholders. The 1940 Act also requires that at least a majority of a mutual fund’s board be comprised of directors/trustees who are not considered to be “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of a fund or its adviser, underwriter or their controlling companies, in order to meet certain “fund governance standards” under the 1940 Act. These non-interested trustees are referred to herein as “Independent Trustees.” All of the Nominees, if elected, will be considered non-interested with respect to the Trust’s Adviser, subadvisers and underwriter, or any of their affiliates.

At the meeting held on March 2, 2022, the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board determined to recommend to the full Board the Nominees described below for election to the Board. Acting on that recommendation, the Board approved those nominations and called a meeting of shareholders to allow shareholders of the Trusts to vote on the election of the Nominees. If elected, any newly elected Trustees will join the Trust’s Board shortly after being elected.

With regard to the current Trustees, Ms. McNamara and Messrs. Aylward, Burke, Mallin, and McLoughlin have previously been elected as such by shareholders at a shareholder meeting held on October 31, 2006, with respect to Ms. McNamara and Mr. McLoughlin, and on May 19, 2016, with respect to Messrs. Aylward, Burke, and Mallin, and they will remain as Trustees of the Trusts. With regard to the Nominees, Ms. McDaniel, Dr. Harris and Messrs. Walton and Zino were appointed to the Board by the then-existing Trustees of the Board, but have not been elected as such by shareholders. Mses. Cogan and DeCotis and Mr. Drummond, who do not currently serve as Trustees for the Trusts, are also Nominees. However, each has served as an Advisory Board Member of the Trusts since February 1, 2021 and also currently serves as a Director/Trustee of open-end and closed-end funds managed by an affiliate of Virtus.

The persons named in the enclosed proxy intend, unless authority is withheld, to vote for the election as Trustees of the Nominees named below. The Board recommends that the shareholders elect the persons whom they have nominated for election.

Each of the Nominees has agreed to serve, or continue to serve, as a Trustee if elected. If, at the time of the Meeting, any Nominee should be unavailable for election (which is not presently anticipated), the persons named as proxies may vote for other persons in their discretion. Trustees will hold office until the earlier of their death, resignation, removal or retirement, or the next meeting of shareholders at which Trustees are elected and the selection and qualification of their successors.

The following table sets forth the names, ages, principal occupations and other information relating to the Trustees and Nominees. Unless otherwise noted, the address of each Trustee and Nominee is c/o [Virtus Trust name], One Financial Plaza, Hartford, Connecticut 06103. There is no stated term of office for Trustees.

The Board and Oversight Function. The Board is responsible for oversight of the Trusts. VAST and VOT have each engaged Virtus Alternative Investment Advisers, Inc. (“VAIA”), VAT has engaged Virtus Fund Advisers, LLC (“VFA”), and VET and VOT have each engaged Virtus Investment Advisers, LLC (“VIA” and together with VAIA and VFA, the “Advisers”) to manage each respective Trust on a day-to-day basis. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Advisers and the other service providers in the operations of each Trust in accordance with the Funds’ investment objectives and policies and otherwise in accordance with its prospectus, the requirements of the 1940 Act and other applicable federal, state and other securities and other laws, and the Trust’s charter. The Board meets at regularly scheduled meetings five times throughout the year. In addition, the Trustees may meet in person or by telephone at special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet without the presence of any representatives of management. As discussed below, the Board has established several committees to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities, and each such committee has a chairperson. The current Board has four standing committees: Audit Committee, Compliance Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee, and Executive Committee. Although each committee is composed exclusively of Independent Trustees, any interested Trustee may also attend the committee meetings. The Board may also designate working groups or ad hoc committees as it deems appropriate. The responsibilities of each committee, including its oversight

responsibilities, are described further below. The Independent Trustees have also engaged independent legal counsel, Sullivan & Worcester LLP, to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities. In addition, the Trustees have engaged a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) for each Trust.

Each Board has appointed Mr. McLoughlin, an Independent Trustee, to serve in the role of Chairman. The Chairman’s primary role is to participate in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board and the identification of information to be presented to the Board with respect to matters to be acted upon by the Board. The Chairman also presides at all meetings of the Board and between meetings generally acts as a liaison with the Trusts’ service providers, officers, legal counsel, and the other Trustees. The Chairman may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time. Except for any duties specified herein or pursuant to each Trust’s Declaration of Trust or By-laws, or as assigned by the Board, the designation of Chairman does not impose on such Independent Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Board, generally.

Each Board believes that this leadership structure is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over matters under its purview, and it allocates areas of responsibility among committees or working groups of Trustees and the full Board in a manner that enhances effective oversight. Mr. McLoughlin previously served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company that is now Virtus; however, he is now an Independent Trustee due to (a) the fact that Virtus is no longer affiliated with The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (which was its parent company when Mr. McLoughlin retired) and (b) the passage of time. As a result of this balance, it is believed that Mr. McLoughlin has the ability to provide independent oversight of the Trusts’ operations within the context of his detailed understanding of the perspective of the Adviser and the Trusts’ other service providers. The Board therefore considers leadership by Mr. McLoughlin as enhancing the Board’s ability to provide effective independent oversight of the Trusts’ operations and meaningful representation of the shareholders’ interests.

Committees of the Board

The Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Funds’ accounting and auditing policies and practices. The Audit Committee reviews the Funds’ financial reporting procedures, their system of internal control, and the independent audit process. The Audit Committee is composed entirely of Independent Trustees; its members are Connie D. McDaniel (Chairperson), Donald C. Burke, John R. Mallin and Brian T. Zino. If elected, Ms. DeCotis would also serve on the Committee. The Committee met seven times during VAT’s last fiscal year, seven times

during VAST’s last fiscal year, six times during VET’s last fiscal year and six times during VOT’s last fiscal year.

The Compliance Committee. The Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing the Funds’ compliance matters. The Compliance Committee oversees and reviews (1) information provided by the Funds’ officers, including the Funds’ CCO, the Funds’ investment adviser and other principal service providers, and others as appropriate; (2) the codes of ethics; (3) whistleblower reports; and (4) distribution programs. The Compliance Committee is composed entirely of Independent Trustees; its members are Geraldine M. McNamara (Chairperson), Sidney E. Harris, and R. Keith Walton. If elected, Ms. Cogan and Mr. Drummond would also serve on the Committee. The Committee met seven times during VAT’s last fiscal year, seven times during VAST’s last fiscal year, six times during VET’s last fiscal year and six times during VOT’s last fiscal year.

The Executive Committee. The function of the Executive Committee is to serve as a delegate of the full Board, as well as act on behalf of the Board when it is not in session, subject to limitations as set by the Board. The Executive Committee is composed entirely of Independent Trustees; its members are Philip R. McLoughlin (Chairperson), Donald C. Burke, Sidney E. Harris and Brian T. Zino. If elected, Ms. DeCotis would also serve on the Committee. The Committee met six times during VAT’s last fiscal year, six times during VAST’s last fiscal year, six times during VET’s last fiscal year and six times during VOT’s last fiscal year.

The Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for developing and maintaining governance principles applicable to the Funds, for nominating individuals to serve as Trustees, including as Independent Trustees, and annually evaluating the Board and Committees. The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed entirely of Independent Trustees; its members are Brian T. Zino (Chairperson), Sidney E. Harris, Philip R. McLoughlin and R. Keith Walton. If elected, Ms. Cogan would also serve on the Committee. The Committee met eight times during VAT’s last fiscal year, eight times during VAST’s last fiscal year, seven times during VET’s last fiscal year and seven times during VOT’s last fiscal year.

The Governance and Nominating Committee considers candidates for trusteeship and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to such candidates. There are no specific required qualifications for trusteeship. The committee considers all relevant qualifications of candidates for trusteeship, such as industry knowledge and experience, financial expertise, current employment and other board memberships, and whether the candidate would be qualified to be considered an Independent Trustee. The Board

believes that having among its members a diversity of viewpoints, skills and experience and a variety of complementary skills enhances the effectiveness of the Board in its oversight role. The committee considers the qualifications of candidates for trusteeship in this context.

Each Board has adopted a policy for consideration of Trustee nominees recommended by shareholders. With regards to such policy, an individual shareholder or shareholder group submitting a nomination must hold either individually or in the aggregate for at least one full year as of the date of nomination 5% of the shares of a series of the Trust, among other qualifications and restrictions. Shareholders or shareholder groups submitting nominees must comply with all requirements set forth in the Trusts’ policy for consideration of Trustee nominees recommended by shareholders and any such submission must be in writing, directed to the attention of the Governance and Nominating Committee in care of the applicable Trust’s Secretary, and should include biographical information, including business experience for the past ten years and a description of the qualifications of the proposed nominee, along with a statement from the proposed nominee that he or she is willing to serve and meets the requirements to be an Independent Trustee, if applicable. Shareholder nominees for Trustee will be given the same consideration as any candidate provided the nominee meets certain minimum requirements.

Board Conclusion on Experience, Qualifications, Attributes and Skills of Trustees/Nominees

The Governance and Nominating Committee of each Board, which is composed of all the Independent Trustees, reviews the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of potential candidates for nomination or election by the Board, and conducted a similar review with respect to the current Trustees and Nominees being nominated for election by shareholders prior to their appointment or election to the Board. In evaluating candidates for nomination or election as a Trustee, the Governance and Nominating Committee takes into account the contribution that the candidate would be expected to make and the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that the Governance and Nominating Committee believes contribute to good governance for the Trusts.

Each Board has concluded that, based on each Nominee’s experience, qualifications, attributes and skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees, each Nominee is qualified to serve as Trustee. In determining that a particular Nominee was qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board considered a variety of criteria. The Board noted that Ms. McDaniel, Dr. Harris and Messrs. Walton and Zino are each currently serving as Trustees on the Board. Additionally, the Board noted

that Mses. Cogan and DeCotis and Mr. Drummond serve on a separate Board of Directors that oversees open-end funds and of closed-end funds managed by an affiliated investment adviser, which also shares certain service providers with the Trusts. The Board believes that the familiarity and knowledge by the Nominees of the common investment adviser and the Virtus organization provide benefits and efficiencies in the governance process of the Trusts. In addition, the Board has taken into account the actual service, commitment and participation of each Nominee during his or her past tenure with the Trusts or with other funds in the Virtus Funds complex in concluding that each Nominee should serve as Trustee. In addition to the information set forth above, the following provides further information about each Nominee’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills. The information in this section should not be understood to mean that any of the Trustees or Nominees is an “expert” within the meaning of the federal securities laws.

Shareholder Communications with Board and Trustee Attendance at Annual Meetings of Shareholders

Any shareholder who wishes to send a communication to the Board of a Trust should send the communication to the attention of the Trust’s Secretary at One Financial Plaza, Hartford, CT 06103. If a shareholder wishes to send a communication directly to an individual Trustee or to a Committee of a Board, then the communication should be specifically addressed to such individual Trustee or Committee and sent in care of the Trust’s Secretary at the same address.

After reviewing the communication, the Trust’s Secretary will then immediately forward the communication to the Board. Communications to individual Trustees or to a Committee sent in care of the Trust’s Secretary will be immediately forwarded to the individual Trustee or to the Committee, as applicable.

The Trusts are not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders. However, if a shareholder meeting is held, it is the policy of each Trust to encourage Trustee attendance at such meetings in person or by teleconference.

Required Vote

All Nominees receiving a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders of each Trust will be elected as Trustees of the Trust. Under a plurality vote, the candidates who receive the highest number of votes will be elected, even if they receive approval from less than a majority of the votes cast. Because the Nominees are running unopposed, all seven Nominees are expected to be elected as Trustees, as all Nominees who receive votes in favor will be elected, while votes not cast or votes to withhold will have no effect on the election outcome.

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF A PROPOSAL TO PERMIT VAIA, VFA AND VIA TO HIRE AND REPLACE SUBADVISERS OR TO MODIFY SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS WITHOUT
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL, AND TO PERMIT THE FUNDS TO DISCLOSE ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEE INFORMATION IN AN AGGREGATED MANNER

(TO BE VOTED UPON BY SHAREHOLDERS OF THE MANAGER OF MANAGERS FUNDS VOTING SEPARATELY)

Introduction

The Trusts operate under a structure where the Funds’ day-to-day investments are managed by subadvisers, and VAIA, with respect to the Manager of Managers Funds in Virtus Alternative Solutions Trust and Virtus Opportunities Trust, VFA, with respect to the Manager of Managers Funds in Virtus Asset Trust, and VIA, with respect to all other Manager of Managers Funds, oversees the administration of the Funds and the subadvisers. VAIA, VFA and VIA are each an “Adviser” and collectively, the “Advisers”. Under a current existing exemptive order issued by the SEC (discussed in more detail below), one of VAIA’s, VFA’s and/or VIA’s duties is to recommend to the Board of a Trust, if conditions warrant, the reallocation of assets managed by a subadviser or to recommend a subadviser’s hiring, termination or replacement, if VAIA, VFA and/or VIA deems it appropriate to achieve the overall objectives of a Fund. Each Trust proposes that VAIA, VFA and/or VIA, subject to approval of its Board and certain conditions, be permitted to, without obtaining the prior approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund as is otherwise required by Section 15 of the 1940 Act: (i) select affiliated, whether partially or wholly-owned, and unaffiliated investment advisers (“Subadvisers”) to manage all or a portion of the assets of a Fund and enter into subadvisory agreements with Subadvisers, and (ii) materially amend subadvisory agreements with Subadvisers. The Trusts further propose that a Fund be permitted to disclose advisory and subadvisory fee information in an aggregated manner.

For these purposes, an unaffiliated Subadviser is an investment subadviser for a Fund that is not an affiliate of the Fund, VAIA, VFA or VIA, which means that (a) it does not control and is not owned or controlled by the same parent of the Trust, VAIA, VFA or VIA, (b) it does not own or control 5% of the outstanding voting shares of any Fund, VAIA, VFA or VIA, or (c) a Fund, VAIA, VFA or VIA does not own or control 5% of its outstanding voting shares (an “Unaffiliated Subadviser”). A partially-owned Subadviser for a Fund means a subadviser which is partially-owned (meaning an entity that owns or controls a portion of the equity of another

entity, either directly or indirectly through other subsidiaries) by VIA, VFA, VAIA, a sister company of either VIA, VFA or VAIA, which is itself wholly-owned by a company that wholly owns VIA, VFA or VAIA (“Partially-Owned Subadviser”), or a parent company of VIA, VFA and/or VAIA. Furthermore, a wholly-owned Subadviser for a Fund means a subadviser which is wholly-owned (meaning an entity that owns or controls all of the equity of another entity, either directly or indirectly through other subsidiaries) by either VIA, VFA, VAIA or a sister company of VIA, VFA or VAIA, which is itself wholly-owned by a company that wholly owns VIA, VFA or VAIA (a “Wholly-Owned Subadviser”). Partially-Owned Subadvisers and Wholly-Owned Subadvisers together are “Affiliated Subadvisers.”

As described further below, VIA, VFA, VAIA and the Trusts currently have the authority, with respect to a majority of the Funds, to hire, terminate or replace Wholly-Owned Subadvisers and Unaffiliated Subadvisers or materially amend subadvisory agreements with such Wholly-Owned Subadvisers or Unaffiliated Subadvisers without prior shareholder approval under the current exemptive order, and are seeking similar authority with respect to Partially-Owned Subadvisers.

The Current Applicable Exemptive Orders

VAIA, VFA, VIA and the Trusts have an exemptive order (the “First Order”) issued September 29, 2008, by the SEC that grants exemptions from certain provisions of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the First Order, VAIA, VFA and/or VIA may, with respect to a Fund and subject to supervision and approval of the Board, enter into and materially amend subadvisory agreements with Unaffiliated Subadvisers without such agreements being approved by the shareholders of the Fund. The Trusts, VAIA, VFA and VIA therefore, with approval from the Board, have the right to hire, terminate, or replace Unaffiliated Subadvisers and modify or amend their subadvisory agreement without shareholder approval. VIA, VFA and/or VAIA continues to have the ultimate responsibility to oversee the subadvisers and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement to the Board. Within 90 days of the hiring of any new Unaffiliated Subadviser for the Fund under the First Order, shareholders of the Fund would be furnished with all information about the new subadviser that would have been in a proxy statement seeking shareholder approval of the new subadviser. However, the First Order does not permit the Trusts, VAIA, VFA or VIA, with respect to a Fund, to enter into and materially amend subadvisory agreements with any subadvisers that are affiliated with the Trusts, VAIA, VFA or VIA without prior shareholder approval. In addition, the First Order does not permit a Fund to disclose advisory fees paid by the Fund to VAIA, VFA or VIA and the subadvisory fees paid by VAIA, VFA or VIA to Wholly-Owned

Subadvisers for the Fund on an aggregate basis, but rather must disclose the amounts paid to each individually.

Shareholders of all the Manager of Managers Funds, other than the Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, approved the ability for VAIA, VFA or VIA to rely on the First Order.

VAIA, VFA, VIA and the Trusts have also received an exemptive order (the “Enhanced Order”), issued October 25, 2016, by the SEC that supersedes the First Order and allows VAIA, VFA, VIA and the Trusts, subject to certain conditions and with the approval of the Board, to do the following without obtaining prior approval from shareholders of a Fund:

(a)

to also engage or retain Wholly-Owned Subadvisers, in addition to Unaffiliated Subadvisers;

(b)

to subsequently change such Subadvisers; or

(c)

to continue the employment of existing Subadvisers after events that under the 1940 Act and the relevant subadvisory agreements would otherwise cause an automatic termination of the subadvisory agreements.

In addition, the Enhanced Order permits a Fund to disclose its advisory fees as follows:

(a)

advisory fees paid by a Fund to VAIA, VFA or VIA and the subadvisory fees paid by VAIA, VFA or VIA to Wholly-Owned Subadvisers for the Fund may be disclosed on an aggregate basis, rather than disclosing the amounts paid to each individually;

(b)

subadvisory fees paid by VAIA, VFA or VIA to multiple Unaffiliated Subadvisers for a Fund may be disclosed on an aggregate basis, rather than disclosing the amounts paid to each Unaffiliated Subadviser individually; and

(c)

subadvisory fees paid by VAIA, VFA or VIA to affiliated subadvisers that are not Wholly-Owned Subadvisers would continue to be disclosed for each affiliated subadviser individually.

Shareholders of all the Manager of Managers Funds, other than the Virtus KAR Mid-Cap Core Fund, Virtus FORT Trend Fund, Virtus KAR Small-Cap Core Fund and Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, approved the ability for VAIA, VFA or VIA to rely on the Enhanced Order.

The SEC has issued a no-action letter that would permit a Fund to apply the same relief in the First Order and the Enhanced Order with respect to any existing and future Partially-Owned Subadvisers, in addition to Unaffiliated Subadvisers and Wholly-owned Subadvisers, if approved by

shareholders. This proposal seeks shareholders’ approval to apply this expanded relief to each Fund and also seeks to allow VIA, VAIA and VFA and the Trusts to rely upon the Enhanced Order, as described above, with respect to the Virtus KAR Mid-Cap Core Fund, Virtus FORT Trend Fund, Virtus KAR Small-Cap Core Fund and Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund.

If this proposal is approved by shareholders, VAIA, VFA, VIA and the Trusts generally intend to rely on the expanded relief under the no-action letter and to comply with its conditions which are summarized below. If, however, after this proposal is approved by shareholders the expanded relief is rescinded, VAIA, VFA, VIA and the Trusts intend to rely on the Enhanced Order and to comply with its conditions which are summarized below.

VAIA, VFA, VIA and the Trusts would be permitted, subject to certain conditions and with the approval of the Board, to do the following without obtaining prior approval from shareholders of a Fund:

(a)

to also engage or retain Partially-Owned and Wholly-Owned Subadvisers, in addition to Unaffiliated Subadvisers (or only Wholly-Owned and Unaffiliated Subadvisers if the no-action letter is rescinded);

(b)

to subsequently change such Subadvisers; or

(c)

In addition, the expanded exemptive relief would permit a Fund to disclose its advisory fees as follows (collectively, the “Aggregate Fee Disclosure”):

(a)

advisory fees paid by the Fund to VAIA, VFA or VIA and the subadvisory fees paid by VAIA, VFA or VIA to Wholly-Owned Subadvisers for the Fund may be disclosed on an aggregate basis, rather than disclosing the amounts paid to each individually; and

(b)

subadvisory fees paid by VAIA, VFA or VIA to multiple Partially-Owned and Unaffiliated Subadvisers for the Fund may be disclosed on an aggregate basis, rather than disclosing the amounts paid to each Partially-Owned and Unaffiliated Subadviser individually (or to only Wholly-Owned and Unaffiliated Subadvisers if the no-action letter is rescinded).

The hiring of, replacement of, or changing of a subadvisory agreement with, such Subadvisers would no longer require approval by shareholders of a Fund. However, any subadvisory agreement or amendment to the Fund’s existing agreement that directly or indirectly results in an increase in the aggregate advisory fee rate payable by the Fund must be submitted to the Fund’s shareholders for approval.

Before a Fund may rely on the Enhanced Order (with respect to the Virtus KAR Mid-Cap Core Fund, Virtus FORT Trend Fund, Virtus KAR Small-Cap Core Fund and Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund) and expanded relief, the shareholders must approve this proposal. If a Fund’s shareholders approve this proposal, VAIA, VFA or VIA will have the right to hire, terminate or replace Wholly-Owned, Partially-Owned and Unaffiliated Subadvisers without shareholder approval, including, without limitation, the replacement or reinstatement of any such Subadviser with respect to which a subadvisory agreement has automatically terminated as a result of an assignment. VAIA, VFA or VIA will continue to have the ultimate responsibility to oversee the subadvisers and recommend their hiring, termination, and replacement.

Even if shareholders approve this arrangement, approval by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, will still be required to engage a new Subadviser, terminate a Subadviser, or change any subadvisory agreement. For a Fund to rely upon the expanded relief, it must comply with the conditions of the no-action letter as summarized below.

Before a Fund may rely on the expanded relief, its use must be approved by a Majority Vote of the Fund’s shareholders, and the Fund must disclose in its prospectus that it relies on the expanded relief, and that the Adviser has the ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board, to oversee and recommend the hiring, termination and replacement of Subadvisers.

The Adviser will continue to have overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of each Fund’s assets. Subject to the Board’s review and approval, the Adviser will set the Fund’s investment strategies; evaluate, select and recommend Subadvisers to the Fund; and implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure subadvisers comply with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Adviser will also monitor and evaluate the performance of Subadvisers, and inform shareholders of the hiring of a new Subadviser within 90 days of such hiring. The Fund may not, however, enter into a new or amended subadvisory agreement with any Subadviser that results in an increase in the Fund’s advisory fee without first receiving shareholder approval.

At least a majority of each Board will be Independent Trustees at all times, and independent legal counsel, as defined in Rule 0-1(a)(6) under the 1940 Act, will be engaged to represent the Independent Trustees. The

selection and nomination of new or additional Independent Trustees, and the selection of independent legal counsel, will be within the discretion of the then-existing Independent Trustees.

When a Subadviser is hired or terminated, the Adviser must provide the Board with information about the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Fund. In addition, when a Subadviser change is proposed for the Fund in reliance on the expanded relief, the Board will evaluate any material conflicts that may be present in the proposed subadvisory arrangement and make a separate finding that (i) the change is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and (ii) the change does not involve a conflict of interest from which the Adviser or Subadviser receives an inappropriate advantage.

Lastly, if the SEC adopts a rule under the 1940 Act that provides substantially similar relief that the expanded relief provides, the expanded relief will expire on the effective date of that rule.

In addition, for a Fund to rely upon the Enhanced Order, it must comply with the conditions of the Enhanced Order as summarized below.

With respect to the Virtus KAR Mid-Cap Core Fund, Virtus FORT Trend Fund, Virtus KAR Small-Cap Core Fund and Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, whose shareholders have not previously approved use of the Enhanced Order, before such Fund may rely on the Enhanced Order, its use must be approved by a Majority Vote of the Fund’s shareholders, and the Fund must disclose in its prospectus that it relies on the Enhanced Order, and that the Adviser has the ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board, to oversee and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement of Subadvisers.

Each Adviser will continue to have overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of their respective Fund’s assets. Subject to the Board’s review and approval, the Adviser will set the Fund’s investment strategies; evaluate, select and recommend subadvisors to the Fund; and implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure subadvisers comply with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Advisers will also monitor and evaluate the performance of Subadvisers, and inform shareholders of the hiring of a new Subadviser within 90 days of such hiring. A Fund may not, however, enter into a new or amended subadvisory agreement with a Partially-Owned Subadviser or into a new or amended subadvisory agreement that results in an increase in the Fund’s advisory fee without first receiving shareholder approval.

At least a majority of the Board will be Independent Trustees at all times, and independent legal counsel, as defined in Rule 0-1(a)(6) under the 1940 Act, will be engaged to represent the Independent Trustees. The

selection and nomination of new or additional Independent Trustees, and the selection of independent legal counsel, will be within the discretion of the then-existing Independent Trustees.

No less frequently than quarterly, and when a Subadviser is hired or terminated, the Adviser must provide the Board with the relevant information about the profitability of the Adviser. In addition, when a Subadviser change is proposed for the Fund in reliance on the Enhanced Order, the Board will make a separate finding that (i) the change is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and (ii) the change does not involve a conflict of interest from which the Adviser or Subadviser receives an inappropriate advantage.

Any ownership interest in a Subadviser by a Trustee or officer of the Fund, or partner, director, manager, or officer of the Adviser, must be limited to (i) ownership interests in the Adviser and certain entities that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Advisor; or (ii) ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding securities of any class of equity or debt of a subadviser that is a publicly-traded company or an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a subadviser.

Lastly, if the SEC adopts a rule under the 1940 Act that provides substantially similar relief that the Enhanced Order provides, the Enhanced Order will expire on the effective date of that rule.

Although shareholder approval would not be required for the Adviser to terminate subadvisory agreements under the expanded relief, shareholders of the Fund have the right to terminate subadvisory agreements for the Fund at any time by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, and this right of shareholders will not be affected by any of the provisions in the expanded relief.

The Board has concluded that, by approving this proposal, shareholders will afford a Fund the opportunity to forego the costly expense of, and unnecessary delays associated with, proxy solicitations due to necessary Subadviser changes. Therefore, if shareholders approve this proposal, they could benefit from potential cost savings to the Fund, as well as allowing VAIA, VFA or VIA to act more quickly to change Subadvisers after it has determined that such a change would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Required Vote

Approval of this Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Manager of Managers Fund, voting separately at the Fund-level with all of the Fund’s share classes voting together. Under the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting

securities is defined as the lesser of (1) 67% of the outstanding shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy or (2) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities (a “Majority Vote”). Proposal 2 will be implemented for each Manager of Managers Fund for which the required shareholder vote is obtained, even if certain other Funds do not approve the proposal. If a Fund’s shareholders do not approve this proposal, the Funds that currently operate under the First Order or Enhanced Order would continue to rely on such order; those Funds that do not currently operate under either existing order would continue to require shareholder approval to hire, terminate or replace any subadviser of such Fund.

PROPOSAL 3: TO CHANGE THE FUNDAMENTAL
INVESTMENT RESTRICTION REGARDING LENDING

(TO BE VOTED UPON BY SHAREHOLDERS OF THE VIRTUS DUFF & PHELPS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUND, VIRTUS NEWFLEET LOW DURATION CORE PLUS BOND FUND, VIRTUS NEWFLEET TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND AND VIRTUS VONTOBEL EMERGING MARKETS OPPORTUNITIES FUND)

Discussion of Proposed Modification

Under the 1940 Act, a mutual fund must have a fundamental policy regarding lending. The current fundamental investment restriction that applies to each of the Virtus Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Fund, Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and Virtus Vontobel Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund is more restrictive than mandated by the 1940 Act and is not clear as to whether investments in loan participations and assignments which are unfunded are permitted. It is common for portfolios of funds investing in fixed income securities to hold such investments from time to time. The proposed restriction is consistent with the 1940 Act requirements and industry standards. The Board has evaluated this Proposal and believes the modification will clarify the investment subadviser’s ability to execute the investment strategies of the Virtus Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Fund, Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and Virtus Vontobel Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund by explicitly permitting such investments. Investing in loan participations and assignments involves the risk that the borrower may default on the loan and a Fund may not be able to recover the amount invested in such loan participations and assignments. Investing in unfunded loans also involves the risk that the unfunded portion of a loan may need to be funded if the borrower draws down the loan, as well as that an unfunded loan does not close and is then called at a new issue price that is less favorable for the Fund.

		Current Fundamental Restriction				Proposed Fundamental Restriction

		For the Virtus Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and Virtus Vontobel Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund: The fund may not make loans, but this restriction shall not prevent the Fund from (a) investing in debt obligations, (b) investing in money market instruments or repurchase agreements, (c) participating in an interfund lending program among Funds having a common investment adviser or distributor to the extent permitted by applicable law or (d) lending its portfolio securities. The Fund will not lend securities having a value in excess of 33 1/3% of its assets, including collateral received for loaned securities (valued at the time of any loan).				The fund may not lend securities or make any other loans if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties except that the funds may purchase debt securities, may enter into repurchase agreements, and may acquire loans, loan participations and assignments (both funded and unfunded) and other forms of debt instruments.

Basis for the Board’s Recommendation

At a meeting held on March 2, 2022, the Board of each of the Virtus Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Fund, Virtus Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and Virtus Vontobel Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the proposed fundamental investment restriction change and determined that the proposal would benefit the Fund and its shareholders. The Board determined that this change would clarify the ability of VIA or a subadviser to manage the investment portfolios of the Fund by clarifying that they have greater investment flexibility to pursue

their investment objective and principal investment strategies and respond to a changing investment environment. In addition, the proposed change would not affect the Fund’s investment objectives and investment strategies, and should shareholders approve the proposed change, the Fund does not intend to change its investment objectives or investment strategies. Furthermore, the Board noted that this change generally should not result in a substantial change in the manner in which the Fund is currently being managed. Accordingly, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the Proposal. The Board of Trustees recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal 3.

Required Vote

Approval of the change in the fundamental investment restriction by each of the Virtus Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Fund, Virtus Newfleet Low Duration Core Plus Bond Fund, Virtus Newfleet Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and Virtus Vontobel Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund with all of the Fund’s share classes voting together. Under the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities is defined as the lesser of (1) 67% of the outstanding shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy or (2) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities. If the change in the fundamental investment restriction is not approved by shareholders of the Fund, the Fund would continue to be subject to the current investment restriction of the Fund regarding lending, and would not be subject to the new investment restriction.

PROPOSAL 4: TO CHANGE THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
FROM FUNDAMENTAL TO NON-FUNDAMENTAL

(TO BE VOTED UPON BY SHAREHOLDERS OF THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE FUNDS)

The following Funds are referred to herein as the “Investment Objective Funds”:

Virtus Opportunities Trust

Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund

Virtus Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Fund

Discussion of Proposed Reclassification of Investment Objective

Every registered investment company is required to state its investment objective, i.e., the goal of its investment program, in its prospectus. There is no requirement that a fund’s investment objective be fundamental, i.e., that shareholder approval be required to change it, but many funds, including all of the Investment Objective Funds, have stated that their investment objectives are fundamental. The Board of Trustees has approved a proposal to make each Investment Objective Fund’s investment objective non-fundamental. If approved by shareholders, this change would mean that the Board would be able to change an Investment Objective Fund’s investment objective in the future without further action by shareholders. This change would enhance an Investment Objective Fund’s flexibility by allowing a Board to more easily alter the Investment Objective Fund’s investment objective when the Board believes it is in the best interests of shareholders or when necessary to comply with possible future regulatory changes. Importantly, Investment Objective Funds’ shareholders would receive notice — prior to its implementation — of any change to an Investment Objective Fund’s investment objective that has been approved by the Board. This change would also eliminate the costly expense of and unnecessary delays associated with proxy solicitations.

The Virtus Newfleet Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund has an investment objective of providing high current income while attempting to limit changes in the fund’s net asset value per share caused by interest rate changes.

The Virtus Duff & Phelps Real Estate Securities Fund has investment objectives of capital appreciation and income with approximately equal emphasis.

Basis for the Board’s Recommendation

At a meeting held on March 2, 2022, the Board of the Investment Objective Funds, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the proposed

investment objective change from fundamental to non-fundamental and determined that the proposal would benefit the applicable Investment Objective Fund and its shareholders because of the increased flexibility and reduction in costs and delays associated with proxy solicitations that would result from the approval of the Proposal. Accordingly, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that it would be in the best interests of each Investment Objective Fund and its shareholders to approve the Proposal. The Board of Trustees recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal 4.

Required Vote

Approval of the change of the investment objective from fundamental to non-fundamental by each of the Investment Objective Funds requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Investment Objective Fund with all of the Fund’s share classes voting together. Under the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities is defined as the lesser of (1) 67% of the outstanding shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy or (2) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities. If the change is not approved by shareholders of an Investment Objective Fund, such Fund’s investment objective would remain fundamental and would continue to require shareholder approval to change it.

PROPOSAL 5: TO CHANGE THE FUND’S STATUS FROM DIVERSIFIED TO NON-DIVERSIFIED

(TO BE VOTED UPON BY SHAREHOLDERS OF THE VIRTUS SILVANT LARGE CAP GROWTH STOCK FUND)

Discussion of Proposed Reclassification From Diversified to Non-Diversified

Section 5(b) of the 1940 Act requires mutual funds to be classified as either diversified or non-diversified, and a fund’s diversification status is considered a fundamental policy. Diversified funds are required to have at least 75% of total assets represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, securities of other investment companies, and other securities for the purposes of this calculation limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater in value than 5% of the value of the total assets of the fund and to not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer. Non-diversified funds are not subject to these requirements. Under the 1940 Act, a non-diversified fund is permitted to operate as a diversified fund, but a diversified fund cannot become non-diversified unless shareholders approve the change. Under applicable SEC guidance, if a non-diversified fund operates for more than three years as diversified, it is considered diversified for SEC diversification purposes, and the change would need to be presented to the Board and then shareholders for approval if the fund wanted to switch back to non-diversified.

The Virtus Silvant Large Cap Growth Stock Fund is currently classified as a diversified fund. Shareholders are being asked to approve a change in the Fund’s classification from diversified to non-diversified, as defined under the 1940 Act, so that the fundamental diversification policy no longer applies. VFA, the Fund’s investment adviser and Silvant Capital Management LLC, the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, believe that changing the Fund’s classification to non-diversified will benefit the Fund’s investment team by giving it the flexibility to actively trade and hold concentration levels above the 25% of its assets in securities of 5% or greater and would allow the portfolio management team to add to positions for which it has high conviction.

Basis for the Board’s Recommendation

At a meeting held on March 2, 2022, the Board of the Virtus Silvant Large Cap Growth Stock Fund, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the proposed reclassification from diversified to non-diversified and determined that the proposal would benefit the Fund and its shareholders because of the increased flexibility for the investment team that

would result from the approval of the Proposal. Accordingly, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the Proposal. The Board of Trustees recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal 5.

Required Vote

Approval of the change of the classification from diversified to non-diversified by the Fund requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund with all of the Fund’s share classes voting together. Under the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities is defined as the lesser of (1) 67% of the outstanding shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy or (2) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities. If the change is not approved by shareholders of the Fund, the Fund’s classification would remain as diversified.

The Trusts’ Auditor

Each Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, has approved the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the independent accountants for each Trust’s fiscal year. The Trusts’ fiscal year ends are:

Virtus Alternative Solutions Trust — October 31
Virtus Asset Trust — December 31
Virtus Equity Trust — September 30
Virtus Opportunities Trust — September 30*

PwC has extensive experience in investment company accounting and auditing and has served as independent accountant for each Trust for many years. PwC examines the financial statements included in each Trust’s Annual Reports. It is not expected that representatives of PwC will be present at the Meeting, and, therefore, they will not be making a statement and will not be available to respond to questions.

Applies to all series of Virtus Opportunities Trust, except for Virtus Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund, Virtus Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Allocation Fund, Virtus Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Virtus Stone Harbor High Yield Bond Fund, Virtus Stone Harbor Local Markets Fund and Virtus Stone Harbor Strategic Income Fund (the “Stone Harbor Funds”). The Stone Harbor Funds recently reorganized into Virtus Opportunities Trust and have a fiscal year end of May 31. For this current fiscal period, the independent accountants for the Stone Harbor Funds will be Deloitte & Touche LLP.

The SEC’s auditor independence rules require the Audit Committee to pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by a Fund’s independent accountants directly to the Fund and (b) those permissible non-audit services provided by a Fund’s independent accountants to the Fund’s investment advisers and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provides ongoing services to the Fund (the “Affiliated Service Providers”), if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust.

The aggregate fees billed by PwC for the indicated services rendered to each Trust for the last two fiscal years were:

	Audit Fees						Audit-Related Fees						Tax Fees						All Other Fees
	2020			2021			2020			2021			2020			2021			2020			2021
Virtus Alternative Solutions Trust		$	78,600		$	41,600		$	4,700		$	2,272		$	19,919		$	24,725		$	0		$	0
Virtus Asset Trust		$	400,523		$	427,370		$	26,808		$	29,193		$	77,751		$	58,949		$	0		$	0
Virtus Equity Trust		$	210,889		$	274,360		$	17,185		$	20,402		$	45,725		$	77,550		$	0		$	0
Virtus Opportunities Trust		$	463,530		$	465,040		$	36,562		$	20,924		$	72,104		$	121,075		$	0		$	0

“Audit-Related Fees” are those related to performance of the audit and review of the Trust’s financial statements not disclosed under “Audit Fees.”

“Tax Fees” are those primarily associated with review of the Trust’s tax provision and Registered Investment Company qualification in connection with audits of the Trust’s financial statements, review of year-end distributions by the Trust to avoid excise tax for the Trust, periodic discussion with management on tax issues affecting the Trust, and reviewing and signing the Trust’s federal income and excise tax returns.

“All Other Fees” are those fees billed for other products and services rendered by PwC to the Trust not included as Audit or Audit-Related or Tax Fees.

Each Trust’s Board has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services provided by PwC. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to a Trust on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Board. As noted above, the Board must also approve other non-audit services provided to a Trust and those non-audit services provided to the Trust’s Affiliated Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust. Certain of these non-audit services that the Board believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor

independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent auditors may be approved by the Board without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”).

The Audit Committee has determined that Ms. McDaniel, Chair of the Audit Committee, may provide pre-approval for such services that meet the above requirements in the event such approval is sought between regularly scheduled meetings. In any event, the Board is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. During the last two fiscal years, 100% of the non-audit services provided to each Trust were pre-approved by the Audit Committee under the policies and procedures described above.

The percentage of hours expended by PwC on the audit of each Trust’s financial statements for the last completed fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by individuals other than PwC full-time, permanent employees was less than fifty percent.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC to the Trusts’ Adviser and other Affiliated Services Providers for each Trust’s last two fiscal years were:

The Audit Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services provided to the Trusts’ investment advisers and other Affiliated Service Providers that were not pre-approved in accordance with the Trusts’ pre-approval policy is compatible with their auditor’s independence. PwC, the independent accountants for each Trust’s most recently completed fiscal year, has confirmed to the Audit Committee that it is independent with respect to each Trust.

SHARE OWNERSHIP INFORMATION

Appendix E lists those shareholders who beneficially owned 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Funds as of the Record Date.

As of the Record Date, the officers and Trustees of the Trusts, as a group, owned beneficially or of record less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Funds.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The Funds do not allocate portfolio brokerage on the basis of the sales of shares, although brokerage firms whose customers purchase shares of the Funds may participate in brokerage commissions. The Funds do not conduct portfolio transactions through affiliated brokers.

OTHER BUSINESS

The Boards of Trustees know of no other business to be brought before the Meeting. If other business should properly come before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote thereupon in their discretion.

Under the provisions of each Trust’s charter documents and applicable law, no annual meeting of shareholders is required, and the Trusts do not currently intend to hold such a meeting. Ordinarily, there will be no shareholder meeting unless required by the 1940 Act or otherwise. Shareholder proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement for any subsequent meeting must be received by the applicable Trust within a reasonable period of time prior to any such shareholder meeting. Shareholders collectively holding at least 10% of the outstanding shares of a Trust may request a shareholder meeting at any time for the purpose of voting to remove one or more of the Trustees. The Trust will assist in communicating to other shareholders about such meeting.

(each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”)

GOVERNANCE AND NOMINATING
COMMITTEE CHARTER

Purpose

The purposes of the Governance and Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) are: (1) to identify individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Trustees2 of the Funds (the “Board”) and to recommend that the Board select particular Trustee nominees; (2) to identify individuals qualified to become chairperson of the Board and to recommend that the Board select particular chairperson nominees; (3) to determine appropriate duties and membership of any Board committees; (4) to develop and recommend to the Board a set of governance principles applicable to the Funds; (5) to oversee annually the evaluation of the Board, this Committee and management of other committees of the Funds; and (6) to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to matters relating to the interests of the shareholders of each Fund.

Committee Composition

The Committee shall be composed of three (3) or more members of the Board, none of whom shall be an “interested person” (as such term is defined by section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Funds (such non-interested members of the Board, the “Independent Trustees”), and one of whom shall be the chairperson of the Board (provided that the chairperson of the Board is an Independent Trustee). One member of the Committee shall serve as Chairperson. The Committee Chairperson shall be responsible for the leadership of the Committee, including scheduling meetings, or reviewing

The Virtus Funds include The Merger Fund®, The Merger Fund® VL, Virtus Event Opportunities Trust, Virtus Alternative Solutions Trust, Virtus Asset Trust, Virtus Equity Trust, Virtus Investment Trust, Virtus Opportunities Trust, Virtus Retirement Trust, Virtus Strategy Trust and Virtus Variable Insurance Trust, Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund, Virtus Total Return Fund Inc., Virtus Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Income Fund, and Virtus Stone Harbor Emerging Markets Total Income Fund.

Throughout this Charter, the term “Trustee” includes a Director of an investment company organized as a corporation.

A-1

and approving the schedule for them, preparing agendas or reviewing and approving them before meetings, presiding over meetings of the Committee and making reports to the Board, as appropriate. Once the Committee has been initially constituted, the Board shall from time to time receive from the Committee recommendations regarding membership and chairpersonship of the Committee and shall appoint the members of the Committee and the Committee chairperson after receiving such recommendations. Other Trustees of the Funds, while not serving as members of the Committee, nonetheless may have a role in the nominating process by identifying and recommending potential candidates to the Committee for its consideration, and by otherwise assisting the Committee in the discharge of its responsibilities. Committee members shall serve at the pleasure of the Board for such term or terms as the Board may determine.

Structure, Operations and Governance

Meetings and Actions by Written Consent. The Committee shall meet as often as required and as the Committee considers appropriate, but no less frequently than annually. Meetings may be called and notice given by the Committee chairperson or a majority of the members of the Committee. Members may attend meetings in person or by telephone. The Committee may act by written consent to the extent permitted by law and the Funds’ governing documents. The Committee shall maintain minutes or other. records of its meetings and activities and report to the Board on any action it takes not later than the next following Board meeting.

Required Vote and Quorum. The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting members of the Committee participating in any meeting of the Committee is necessary for the adoption of any resolution. No resolution may be adopted unless at least a majority of the voting members are present at the meeting in person or by telephone.

Appropriate Resources and Authority. The Committee shall have the resources and authority to discharge its responsibilities, including the authority to retain special counsel and other advisers, experts or consultants, at the Funds’ expense, as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its duties and responsibilities. In addition, the Committee shall have direct access to such officers of, and service providers to, the Funds, including subadvisers of the Funds, as it deems desirable.

Review of Charter. The Committee shall review and assess the adequacy of this Charter as necessary and, where necessary, will recommend changes to the Board for its approval. The Board may amend this Charter at any time in response to recommendations from the Committee or on its own initiative.

A-2

Executive Sessions; Inviting Others. The Committee may meet privately and may invite non-members to attend such meetings. The Committee may meet, in executive session or otherwise, with representatives of the Funds’ investment adviser, subadvisers, principal underwriter or other principal service providers (and any affiliate thereof), including such parties’ internal legal counsel and/or compliance personnel, to discuss matters that relate to the areas for which the Committee has responsibility.

Specific Duties of the Committee

Board Nominations/Independence

The Committee shall recommend to the Board Trustee nominees for election at the next meeting of a Fund’s shareholders, as required. Additionally, in the event of any vacancies on or additions to the Board, the Committee shall evaluate the qualifications of candidates and make nominations for membership on the Board, as the case may be. The Committee may also recommend that a vacancy in the membership of the Board not be filled based on the then current Board’s size, composition and structure. In carrying out its responsibilities under this paragraph, the Committee shall have sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm to be used to identify Trustee candidates, including sole authority to approve the search firm’s fees and other retention terms.

Persons nominated as Independent Trustees may not be “interested persons” of the Funds as that term is defined in the 1940 Act or such other interpretations and rules and regulations adopted in connection therewith. The Committee shall also review the composition of the Board to ensure that at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Trustees are not interested persons. With respect to such consideration of nominees and existing Trustees, the Committee shall carefully evaluate their independence from any investment adviser, principal underwriter or other principal service provider to the Funds (and any affiliate thereof). The Committee shall also take into consideration any affiliations disclosed in the then current registration statement for the Funds and any person who the Committee considers to be unlikely to exercise an appropriate degree of independence as a result of: (a) a material business or professional relationship with any Fund, its investment advisers or principal underwriter (or any of their affiliated persons); or (b) a close familial relationship with any natural person who is an investment adviser or principal underwriter (or any of their affiliated persons). The Committee shall also consider the effect of any relationships beyond those delineated in the 1940 Act that might impair the independence of any existing or prospective.

A-3

Independent Trustee. It shall consult with counsel concerning the requirements of the 1940 Act applicable to the selection and qualification of Independent Trustees.

In assessing the qualifications of an existing or potential candidate for Independent Trustee membership on the Board, the Committee shall consider such other factors as it may deem relevant.

With respect to shareholder/policyholder/contractholder recommendations for membership on the Board:

In order for the Committee to consider recommendations for openings from shareholders of open-end retail Funds, those shareholders must have separately or as a group held for at least one full year five percent of the shares of a series of the respective Fund.

In order for the Committee to consider recommendations for openings from policyholders or contractholders, those policyholders or contractholders must have separately or as a group beneficially held for at least two full years five percent of the shares of a series of Virtus Variable Insurance Trust through a variable insurance policy or variable annuity contract.

In order for the Committee to consider recommendations for openings from shareholders of closed-end Funds, the following requirements must be satisfied regarding the shareholder or shareholder group submitting the proposed nominee:

(i)

Any shareholder group submitting a proposed nominee must beneficially own, either individually or in the aggregate, more than 4% of a Fund’s securities that are eligible to vote both at the time of submission of the nominee and at the time of the Board member election. Each of the securities used for purposes of calculating this ownership must have been held continuously for at least two years as of the date of the nominating. In addition, such securities must continue to be held through the date of the nomination. In addition, such securities must continue to be held through the date of the meeting and the nominating shareholder or shareholder group must bear the economic risk of the investment.

(ii)

The nominating shareholder or shareholder group may not qualify as an adverse holder — i.e., if such shareholder were required to report beneficial ownership of its securities, its report would be filed on Securities Exchange Act Schedule 13G instead of Schedule 13D in reliance on Securities Exchange Act Rule 13d-1(b) or (c).

A-4

(iii)

No eligible shareholder or shareholder group may submit more than one Independent Trustee recommendation each calendar year.

In order for the Committee to consider shareholder, policyholder or contractholder submissions, the following requirements must be satisfied regarding the proposed nominee:

(i)

The nominee must satisfy all qualifications provided herein and in the Funds’ organizational documents, including qualification as a possible Independent Trustee.

(ii)

The nominee may not be the nominating shareholder3, a member of a nominating shareholder group or a member of the immediate family of the nominating shareholder or any member of the nominating shareholder group.4

(iii)

Neither the nominee nor any member of the nominee’s immediate family may be currently employed or employed within the last year by any nominating shareholder entity or entity in a nominating shareholder group.

(iv)

Neither the nominee nor any immediate family member of the nominee may have accepted directly or indirectly, during the year of the election for which the nominee’s name was submitted, during the immediately preceding calendar year, or during the year when the nominee’s name was submitted, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the nominating shareholder or any member of a nominating shareholder group.

(v)

The nominee may not be an executive officer or trustee (or person fulfilling similar functions) of the nominating shareholder or any member of the nominating shareholder group, or of an affiliate of the nominating shareholder or any such member of the nominating shareholder group.

(vi)

The nominee may not control the nominating shareholder or any member of the nominating shareholder group (or, in the

Within subsections (d) and (e) of this section, the term “shareholder” shall be interchangeable with policyholder and contractholder as appropriate.

Terms such as “immediate family member” and “control” shall be interpreted in accordance with the federal securities laws.

A-5

case of a holder or member that is a fund, an interested person of such holder or member as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act).

(vii)

A shareholder or shareholder group may not submit for consideration a nominee who has previously been considered by the Committee.

Shareholders or shareholder groups submitting proposed nominees must substantiate compliance with the above requirements at the time of submitting their proposed nominee as part of their written submission to the attention of the relevant Fund’s Secretary. In order for a submission of a nominee to be considered, such submission must include, as applicable:

(i)

the shareholder’s contact information;

(ii)

the nominee’s contact information and the number of Fund shares owned by the proposed nominee;

(iii)

all information regarding the nominee that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for elections of trustees required by Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act, including business experience for the past ten years and a description of the qualifications of the proposed nominee; and

(iv)

a notarized letter executed by the nominee, stating his or her intention to serve as a nominee and be named in the Funds’ proxy statement, if so designated by the Committee and the Funds’ Board.

It shall be in the Committee’s sole discretion whether to seek corrections of a deficient submission or to exclude a nominee from consideration.

To the extent the conditions of this section are met, the Committee shall give candidates recommended by shareholders/policyholders/contractholders the same consideration as any other candidate.

Board Chairperson Nominations

The Committee from time to time shall recommend to the Board a policy or plan regarding succession of the Board chairperson. Such policy or plan shall be designed to: (i) mitigate, to the extent reasonably practicable, the negative impact of the retirement or resignation of the Board chairperson, and (ii) assist the Committee in evaluating candidates for a new chairperson of the Board.

A-6

In the event of an anticipated or actual retirement or resignation of the chairperson of the Board, the Committee shall evaluate the qualifications of candidates and make recommendations to the Board regarding nominations for a new chairperson of the Board.

Committee Nominations and Responsibilities

The Committee shall make recommendations to the Board concerning the responsibilities or establishment of Board committees.

The Committee shall review and make recommendations from time to time to the Board regarding the nature and duties of Board committees, including: (i) committee member qualifications (including, without limitation, “financial expert” status); (ii) committee member and chairperson appointment and removal; (iii) committee size, structure and operations (including authority to delegate to subcommittees); (iv) committee charters; and (v) committee reporting to the Board. In the event of any vacancies on or additions to any committee, the Committee shall evaluate the qualifications of candidates and make recommendations on membership on any committee of the Board.

In considering and recommending committee member appointments and removals, the Committee’s objective is to encourage broad knowledge and understanding by each Trustee of the Funds’ financial, regulatory and governance circumstances and conditions by endeavoring, to the extent reasonably practicable, to: (i) rotate membership of each committee over time, so that the individual committee members other than the chairperson serve on a committee generally no more than three (3) consecutive years and ultimately have served on several committees; and (ii) rotate chairpersons of the committees over time, so that the individual serving as chairperson of a committee serves in that role generally no more than five (5) consecutive years and ultimately has also served as a regular member or chairperson of several committees.

Fund Governance

The Committee shall recommend to the Board for its approval a set of governance guidelines and shall review such guidelines from time to time as it deems necessary or appropriate and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval. Such guidelines shall consider, among other things, whether the Board is properly constituted, if matters entrusted to the Board have been properly considered, and any other matters that the Board should properly consider.

The Committee shall coordinate an annual self-assessment by the Board of its effectiveness. The self-assessment may include, among other

A-7

things, consideration of the Board’s committee structure; the appropriateness of rotating the composition of each Committee; and whether the Board members are capable of providing sufficient oversight to the number of funds they monitor. The Committee shall promptly report its findings and conclusions to the Board.

Other Powers and Responsibilities

The Committee shall annually review the sufficiency of the retainer and fees paid to each member of the Board and to the members of the several Committees. If the Committee finds the retainer or fees to be not appropriate in light of the Board’s and Committees’ responsibilities, it will make a recommendation to the Board.
