- Virtus Duff & Phelps Global Real Estate Securities Fund (VGISX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks attractive long-term capital appreciation and income by investing primarily in global real estate securities, with a focus on high-quality commercial real estate owner/operators generating revenues from recurring rental income; the fund employs a disciplined bottom-up investment process combining qualitative and quantitative analysis to construct a high-conviction portfolio of 50-70 securities across sectors including residential, healthcare, retail, diversified, industrial, data centers, self-storage, office, specialty, lodging/resorts, and industrial/office mixed properties. Share classes include Class A (VGSAX), Class C (VGSCX), Class I (VGISX), and Class R6 (VRGEX), with a net expense ratio of 0.99% for Class I shares and a minimum initial investment of $100,000 for that class; the fund offers exposure to global markets, with approximately 65% in U.S. stocks, 32% in non-U.S. stocks, and top regional allocations to the Eurozone, Japan, United Kingdom, and Canada, emphasizing real estate securities comprising 97% of the portfolio. Launched on March 2, 2009, the fund is domiciled in the United States, with legal address in Wilmington, Delaware, and is managed by Geoffrey P. Dybas, CFA, and Frank J. Haggerty, Jr., CFA, of Duff & Phelps Investment Management Co., a subsidiary of Virtus Investment Partners headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut. Recent developments include the announcement effective January 21, 2026, that Class C shares will no longer be available for purchase by new or existing shareholders except through qualifying transactions such as dividend reinvestments or exchanges, allowing existing holders to retain shares until conversion to Class A; the fund maintains total net assets of approximately $395 million as of December 2025, with top holdings such as Welltower Inc., Prologis Inc., Equinix Inc., Digital Realty Trust Inc., and AvalonBay Communities Inc.
