Effective April 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Virtus Partners, Inc. (“Virtus”) completed the acquisition of AlphaSimplex Group, LLC (“AlphaSimplex”), the investment adviser to the Funds, from Natixis ASG Holdings, Inc.

The Interim Advisory Agreements will continue in effect until the earlier of (i) August 28, 2023, and (ii) the closing of the reorganizations of the Funds into corresponding series of the Virtus Alternative Solutions Trust (the “Fund Reorganizations”), which are expected to occur on or about May 20, 2023. The Interim Advisory Agreements are substantively identical to the Prior Advisory Agreements except to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Effective immediately, the first paragraph under the subheading “Advisers” within the subsection “Meets the Funds’ Investment Advisers and Subadviser” within the section entitled “Management Team” of the Funds’ Prospectus is amended to include the following:
