- Virtus Real Asset Income ETF (VRAI) is an exchange-traded fund that provides passive exposure to U.S.-listed real asset securities by tracking the Indxx Real Asset Income Index. The fund invests exclusively in equities across real estate, natural resources, and infrastructure sectors, selecting stocks based on fundamental factors emphasizing dividend growth and income history; it avoids direct investments in hard assets or commodities to focus on equity growth potential and inflation protection. Managed by Virtus Investment Advisers, LLC, with index provision by Indxx, LLC, the ETF features a total expense ratio of 0.55%, assets under management of approximately $15 million, and top holdings including Ituran Location and Control Ltd., GeoPark Ltd., Murphy Oil Corp., Tenaris SA-ADR, and First Industrial Realty Trust Inc. Launched on February 7, 2019, and domiciled in the United States as part of ETFs Series Trust I, VRAI targets investors seeking diversified income from real asset equities through a full replication strategy across growth and value stocks of varying market capitalizations. The fund operates primarily in U.S. equity markets with exposure to global-listed ADRs and serves individual and institutional investors via exchange trading on NYSE Arca. Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., the parent entity headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut and founded in 2009 as a spin-off from Phoenix Companies, oversees a multi-boutique platform that supports VRAI alongside other ETF and mutual fund offerings. Recent developments include a Morningstar Medalist Rating upgrade to Bronze from Neutral in early 2025, driven by improvements in the ETF's Process Pillar, alongside quarterly distributions such as $0.634640 per share in December 2024 and subsequent payouts totaling over $0.69 annually on a trailing twelve-month basis. The fund maintained stable operations amid market volatility, with a 30-day SEC yield of 4.65% and distribution rate of 3.31% as of late 2025, reflecting resilience in its income-focused real asset strategy. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or structural changes specific to VRAI were reported in 2024-2025, though parent Virtus Investment Partners continued its multi-boutique expansion with prior integrations enhancing overall platform capabilities.
