NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Virtus Opportunities Trust (the “Trust”), a trust consisting of 28 Funds (each a “Fund”), in the preparation of the Schedules of Investments are summarized below and for derivatives, included in Note 1B below. The preparation of the Schedules of Investments in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Schedules of Investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be significant.

A. SECURITY VALUATION

Security valuation procedures for the Trust, which include nightly price variance, as well as back-testing items such as bi-weekly unchanged price, monthly secondary source and transaction analysis, have been approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”, or the “Trustees”). All internally fair valued securities are approved by a valuation committee appointed by the Board (the “Valuation Committee”). The Valuation Committee is comprised of certain members of management as identified to the Board and convenes independently from portfolio management. All internally fair valued securities are updated daily and reviewed in detail by the Valuation Committee monthly unless changes occur within the period. The Valuation Committee reviews the validity of the model inputs and any changes to the model. Fair valuations are reviewed quarterly by the Board.

The Funds utilize a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

 

    Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities).

 

    Level 2—prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

 

    Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Restricted equity securities and private placements that are not widely traded, are illiquid, or are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) (at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases the Funds fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures,

 

Other information regarding each Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Report to Shareholders.


VIRTUS OPPORTUNITIES TRUST

NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

 

exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing which considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, and current day trade information, as well as dealer supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments, such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt securities that are not widely traded, are illiquid, or are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts and equity-linked instruments, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Both are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

A summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Fund. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these corporate bonds are based on comparable liquid assets adjusted for accretion/amortization rate, current yield, current swap rates, and discount rates related to differences in capital structure and liquidity. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the observable market assumptions would have direct impacts to the discount rates used related to capital structure and/or liquidity discounts.

B. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to enable investors to understand how and why a Fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are such disclosures and accounting policies for each specific type of derivative instruments used by certain Funds.

Forward Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are traded directly between currency traders and their customers.

Funds enter into forward currency contracts in conjunction with the planned purchase or sale of non-U.S. denominated securities in order to hedge the U.S. dollar cost of proceeds. The Funds also, from time to time, hedge the currency exposure of foreign denominated securities held in the portfolio,

 

Other information regarding each Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Report to Shareholders.


VIRTUS OPPORTUNITIES TRUST

NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

 

back to U.S. dollars during perceived times of U.S. dollar strength. This is done to protect the U.S. dollar value of the portfolio. Forward currency contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Schedules of Investments. Risks arise from the possible movements in non-U.S. exchange rates or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Options contracts:

Certain Funds may invest in options contracts. An options contract provides the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a financial instrument at an agreed upon price. Certain Funds may purchase or write both put and call options on portfolio securities. The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use options contracts to hedge against changes in the values of equities. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. Holdings of the Fund designated to cover outstanding written options are noted in the Schedules of Investments.

The risk in writing call options is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing put options is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying options is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The use of such instruments may involve certain additional risks as a result of unanticipated movements in the market. Writers (sellers) of options are subject to unlimited risk of loss, as the seller will be obligated to deliver or take delivery of the security at a predetermined price which may, upon exercise of the option, be significantly different from the then-market value.

Warrants and Rights: Certain Funds hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Fund until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board approved fair valuation procedures.

C. SECURITIES LENDING

($ reported in thousands)

Certain Funds may loan securities to qualified brokers through an agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman (“BBH”), as a third party lending agent. Under the terms of agreement, a Fund doing so is required to maintain collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan. Collateral may consist of cash and securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies. Cash collateral is invested in a short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the broker are recorded as income by a Fund net of fees and rebates charged by BBH for its services as securities lending agent and in connection with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the declining value of the collateral.

At June 30, 2017, the following Funds had securities on loan:

D. CREDIT RISK

In countries with limited or developing markets, investments may present greater risks than in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of these investments and the income they generate, as well as a Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.

High-yield/high-risk securities typically entail greater price volatility and/or principal and interest rate risk. There is a greater chance that an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments on time. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high-yield/high-risk securities may be complex, and as a result, it may be more difficult for the adviser and/or subadviser to accurately predict risk.

Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that the market may fluctuate for other reasons, and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. Insured securities have been identified in the Schedule of Investments. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in the Funds.

Certain Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in their pursuit of a greater investment return. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on a Fund, positive or negative, than if a Fund did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.

NOTE 2—ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Investments are generally considered illiquid if they cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which such securities have been valued by a Fund. Additionally, the following information is also considered in determining liquidity: the frequency of trades and quotes for the investment, whether the investment is listed for trading on a recognized domestic exchange and/or whether two or more brokers are willing to purchase or sell the security at a comparable price, the extent of market making activity in the investment and the nature of the market for investment. Illiquid securities are footnoted as such at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, where applicable. However, a portion of such footnoted securities could be liquid where it is determined that some, though not all, of the position could be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at the approximate amount at which such securities have been valued by the Fund.

Restricted securities are illiquid securities as defined above, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category, except where defined as illiquid.

Each Fund will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities.

NOTE 4—REGULATORY MATTERS AND LITIGATION

From time to time, the Trust, the Funds’ Adviser and/or subadvisers and/or their affiliates may be involved in litigation and arbitration as well as examinations and investigations by various regulatory bodies, including the SEC, involving compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting their products and other activities. At this time, the Adviser believes that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.

On February 20, 2015, a putative class action complaint (In re Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. Securities Litigation; formerly styled as Tom Cummins v. Virtus Investment Partners Inc., et al.) alleging violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws was filed by an individual shareholder against Virtus and certain of its officers (the “defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 21, 2015, the lead plaintiff filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”) amending the originally filed complaint and adding the Trust as a defendant. The Consolidated Complaint was purportedly filed on behalf of all purchasers of Virtus common stock between January 25, 2013 and May 11, 2015 (the “Class Period”). The Consolidated Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, the defendants disseminated materially false and misleading statements and concealed material adverse facts relating to certain funds previously subadvised by F-Squared Investments, Inc. and/or its affiliates (“F-Squared”). The plaintiff seeks to recover unspecified damages. A motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint was filed on behalf of the defendants on October 21, 2015. Pursuant to an Opinion & Order (“Order”) filed on July 1, 2016, the court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. Although the Order narrows the scope of the claims asserted and dismisses one of the defendants from the suit, claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder survive the motion. The remaining defendants filed an Answer to the Consolidated Complaint on August 5, 2016. Pursuant to an Opinion & Order filed on May 15, 2017, the plaintiff’s motion for class certification was granted by the court. Virtus and its affiliates, including the Adviser, believe that the suit is without merit and intend to defend it vigorously. The Trust believes that the risk of loss to the Funds as a result of this suit is remote. The Adviser does not believe that the suit will have any impact on its ability to provide services to the Funds.

On May 8, 2015, a putative class action complaint (Mark Youngers v. Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., et al.) alleging violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint, which was purportedly filed on behalf of purchasers of certain Virtus Funds previously subadvised by F-Squared between May 8, 2010 and December 22, 2014, inclusive (the “Class Period”), alleged claims against Virtus, certain Virtus officers and affiliates (including the Adviser, Euclid Advisors LLC (“Euclid”) and VP Distributors, LLC), the trustees and certain officers of the Trust, and certain other parties (the “defendants”). The complaint alleges that during the Class Period the defendants disseminated materially false and misleading statements and concealed or omitted material facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading. On October 1, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a First Amended Class Action Complaint which, among other things, added a derivative claim for breach of fiduciary duty on behalf of the Trust. On October 19, 2015, the United States District Court for the Central District of California entered an order transferring the action to the Southern District of New York. On January 4, 2016, the plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint. Motions to dismiss were filed on behalf of Virtus, its officers and affiliates and the independent trustees on February 1, 2016. An Opinion & Order (“Order”) granting in part and denying in part the defendants’ motions to dismiss was issued on July 1, 2016. The Order dismissed all claims against the Adviser, Euclid, the independent trustees and certain of the other individual defendants, and narrowed the claims asserted against the remaining defendants. The remaining defendants filed an Answer to the Second Amended Complaint on August 5, 2016. A Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal of the claim under Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, was filed on September 15, 2016.

JUNE 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

 

Pursuant to an Opinion & Order filed on May 15, 2017, the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification was denied by the court. On July 28, 2017 plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend the Second Amended Complaint to which defendants filed an opposition on August 11, 2017. Oral argument on the motion is scheduled for September 7, 2017. Virtus and its affiliates, including the Adviser, believe that the suit has no basis in law or fact and intend to defend it vigorously. The Trust believes that the risk of loss to the Funds as a result of this suit is remote. The Adviser does not believe that the suit will have any impact on its ability to provide services to the Funds.
