VIRTUS GLOBAL MULTI-SECTOR INCOME FUND, STATUTORY TRUST
Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund is a Delaware statutory trust formed on February 23, 2012, and registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Its common shares of beneficial interest are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol VGI.
As a closed-end fund rather than an operating company, Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund does not manufacture goods or provide commercial services. Its principal activity is pooled investment: the Fund’s stated objective is to maximize current income while preserving capital, pursued by applying credit research to identify opportunities across global fixed-income markets. Its portfolio spans investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, bank loans, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and taxable and tax-exempt municipal bonds. The Fund may use leverage, historically through margin borrowings, to pursue higher income than an unleveraged portfolio would generate; as of November 30, 2025, borrowings of approximately $39 million represented about 29% of the Fund’s managed assets, which totaled approximately $135 million on that date.
Portfolio management is carried out by Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. as investment adviser and Newfleet Asset Management, LLC as sub-adviser, both part of the Virtus fund complex based in Hartford, Connecticut. As of May 31, 2025, the Fund had 11,313,094 common shares outstanding. Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund reports on a fiscal year ending November 30 and files periodic certified shareholder reports (Form N-CSR and N-CSRS) with the SEC, most recently a semi-annual report for the period ended May 31, 2026, filed August 5, 2026.

Shareholders of Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund
Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund is a publicly traded, closed-end investment company; its common shares are held by the investing public rather than by a fixed, disclosed shareholder register, and most holders are not individually identified. Under U.S. securities law, only investors who beneficially own 5% or more of the Fund’s outstanding shares must disclose their position, typically via Schedule 13G filed with the SEC. Based on the Fund’s most recent Schedule 13G/A, Sit Investment Associates, Inc. and Sit Fixed Income Advisors II, LLC — affiliated registered investment advisers acting on behalf of client accounts — jointly reported shared voting and dispositive power over 2,057,760 shares, representing approximately 18.2% of the class, as of December 31, 2025 (filed January 6, 2026).

No other current 5%-or-greater holder was identified in the Fund’s SEC filings reviewed for this profile, and this does not indicate that no other significant holders exist.

Trustees and officers of Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund
Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees rather than a conventional corporate board of directors, consistent with its structure as a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund shares its Board with other funds in the Virtus closed-end fund complex, a common structure for fund families overseen by a single "fund complex" board. Per the funds’ joint annual meeting proxy statement dated April 20, 2026, the Board includes Connie D. McDaniel (Chair), George R. Aylward, Donald C. Burke, Sarah E. Cogan, F. Ford Drummond, R. Keith Walton and Brian T. Zino. George R. Aylward is classified as an "interested" trustee under the Investment Company Act of 1940 because he also serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., the parent of the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser; he has served as a Fund officer since 2011 and as Trustee and President since 2014. Kathryn Santoro, Esq. is confirmed in the Fund’s most recent annual report (Form N-CSR, filed February 6, 2026) as Vice President, Chief Legal Officer, Counsel and Secretary. Other officer roles reported in the Fund’s recent regulatory filings include W. Patrick Bradley (Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer), Nancy J. Engberg (Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer) and Francis G. Waltman (Senior Vice President), though these were not independently re-confirmed against the very latest filing reviewed for this profile.
Data availability
Officer and trustee information for this Fund is partial: SEC fund filings confirm current roles for the President/Trustee and the Chief Legal Officer/Secretary, and name the full slate of Trustees, but do not disclose nationality or country of residence for any individual — not a standard disclosure item for U.S. registered fund officers and trustees. Nationality is Not disclosed for all individuals named above.

Group Structure
Group structure of Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund
Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund is a standalone, publicly traded Delaware statutory trust; no evidence identified in SEC filings shows the Fund itself as being owned or controlled by a parent company, and the Fund has no direct or indirect subsidiaries. Its common shares are held by the investing public, not by a corporate parent, so it does not have a traditional group structure in the sense of a company controlled by, or controlling, other companies. The Fund is, however, managed under an affiliated investment-advisory arrangement: Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc. serves as investment adviser and Newfleet Asset Management, LLC serves as sub-adviser, and both are subsidiaries of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRTS). This is an advisory and management-services relationship rather than an equity ownership relationship over the Fund, so Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. should not be described as the Fund’s parent company.
Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for this Fund is not public in the traditional sense, because a closed-end fund organized as a trust is not owned by a parent company; the advisory affiliation described above is disclosed in the Fund’s SEC filings, but no ownership percentage applies to it.
