- Virtus Vontobel Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund A (HEMZX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of emerging market companies. The fund employs a fundamental, bottom-up investment approach, focusing on high-quality growth companies with sustainable competitive advantages, strong management teams, and attractive valuations; it allocates across various sectors including financials, information technology, consumer discretionary, and materials, while maintaining diversification to manage risk. Managed by Vontobel Asset Management, a division of Virtus Investment Partners, the fund targets issuers domiciled or conducting significant business in emerging markets regions such as Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Launched in 2013 and based in Hartford, Connecticut, with sub-advisory from Vontobel's Zurich-based team, it serves institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to high-growth emerging economies. Recent developments include the 2023 rebranding and strategic integration following Vontobel's partnership with Virtus Investment Partners, enhancing distribution capabilities and operational efficiencies; in 2024, the fund benefited from Vontobel's launch of new sustainable investment mandates amid rising ESG demand in emerging markets, alongside portfolio adjustments to capitalize on post-pandemic recovery in select Asian and Latin American markets.
