Read MoreHide Full Article
Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (VRTS - Free Report) recorded a sequential increase in its preliminary assets under management (AUM) balance for July 2023 on the back of favorable market returns. The company reported month-end AUM of $171.9 billion, which reflected a rise of 2.1% from the Jun 30, 2023 level.
Excluded from the above-mentioned AUM balance, other fee-earning assets were $2.6 billion, to which Virtus Investment provided services.
In July end, Virtus Investment’s open-end funds balance increased 1.7% from the end of the previous month to $57.8 billion. Also, the closed-end funds’ balance increased 1.6% to $10.3 billion.
Further, the Institutional accounts’ balance rose 1.5% to $63.3 billion. Retail separate accounts’ balances of $40.5 billion grew 3.8% from the prior month.
