- Virtus WMC Global Factor Opportunities ETF (VGFO) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to outperform global equity markets through a multi-factor investment approach within a risk-managed framework, subadvised by Wellington Management Company LLP and sponsored by Virtus ETF Advisers, LLC, a subsidiary of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc.. The ETF primarily invests in equity securities of foreign issuers across all market capitalizations, including common stocks, preferred stocks, American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, and real estate investment trusts; it employs complementary factor tilts such as value, quality, momentum, and low volatility, targeting approximately 150-250 holdings with broad diversification across sectors, countries, and regions to minimize risks while pursuing enhanced returns relative to broad global benchmarks.. Shares trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange following a recent transfer from NYSE Arca, with geographic exposure focused on international developed and emerging markets outside the U.S.. Launched on October 10, 2017, and headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut through its sponsor Virtus Investment Partners, founded in 1995, the ETF targets institutional and retail investors seeking global equity exposure with factor-based alpha generation.. In July 2020, the fund underwent a significant strategic shift with a name change to its current focus and an investment objective realignment toward international dividend strategies, while retaining its core multi-factor methodology; more recently, in 2024, it announced and completed the listing transfer to Cboe BZX to enhance trading liquidity and market access.. No major funding rounds, acquisitions, or new product launches have been reported for the ETF in the last 1-2 years, though its subadviser Wellington Management continues to refine the quantitative process informed by proprietary fundamental research..
