Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRTS) Q1 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

Bradley Hays: Yes. Well, our strategy is from the three managers we have with a fixed income really across the spectrum, right. So we have what’s kind of interesting is between the capabilities that we have at Newfleet, which has strategies in the shorter duration, which probably were less in favor, the intermediate now being much stronger. And then separately we have the Sykes in particular, their loan and the high yield capabilities, as well as then Stone Harbor with their emerging market debt. So we actually think that there’s lots of different opportunities as we try to encourage fixed income investors, as everyone else is, to not rely in totally on treasuries given where they currently are, but sort of avail themselves, and we saw a little bit of the strength in that in some of the loan fund flows, but there are other ways to diversify their income stream, and we do think we have several managers that would be compelling in that environment, and that’s one of the things that our salesforce is focused on.
