Virtus Duff & Phelps Real Estate Income ETF

Virtus Duff & Phelps Real Estate Income ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide a high level of current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. It invests in an opportunistically balanced portfolio consisting of high-quality equity real estate investment trusts, or REITs, comprising 60% to 80% of assets, alongside 20% to 40% in investment-grade, real estate-focused debt and preferred securities. This multi-asset strategy aims to generate above-average yield potential while reducing volatility compared to a portfolio composed solely of equity REITs. The fund's management team, from Duff & Phelps Investment Management, targets 25 to 35 high-quality equity REITs and 15 to 25 investment-grade real estate credits to balance income and growth opportunities. By blending equity and fixed-income elements within the real estate sector, Virtus Duff & Phelps Real Estate Income ETF offers investors exposure to real estate markets with a focus on income stability and moderated risk. Launched in 2026, it forms part of Virtus Investment Partners' multi-manager ETF platform, emphasizing differentiated real estate strategies for income-oriented portfolios.
