Read MoreHide Full Article
Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (VRTS - Free Report) recorded a sequential decline of 4.1% in its preliminary assets under management (AUM) balance for October 2023 on the back of unfavorable market returns. The company reported a month-end AUM of $155.82 billion, which reflected a fall from the Sep 30, 2023 level of $162.5 million.
The company offered services to $2.4 billion of other fee-earning assets. This was excluded from the above-mentioned AUM balance
In October, Virtus Investment’s open-end funds’ balance decreased 4.3% from the end of the previous month to $51.8 billion. Also, the closed-end funds’ balance fell 2.2% to $9.26 billion.
Further, the Institutional accounts’ balance sequentially slipped 3.8% to $57.9 billion. Retail separate accounts’ balance of $36.8 billion fell 4.8% from the prior month.
Elevated operating expenses are expected to hurt Virtus Investment’s bottom line to an extent in the near term. Yet, its integrated multi-boutique business model in a rapidly growing industry is likely to support its performance.
Over the past six months, shares of Virtus Investment have gained 13.4% compared with the 9% upside of the industry it belongs to.
