Virtus Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund — Investor Relations & Filings

Virtus Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy Fund is a closed-end fund that seeks to provide current income and gains, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund employs a multi-asset strategy, investing primarily in a portfolio of dividend-paying equity securities and income-producing convertible securities. A core component of its approach is an option-writing strategy, where it sells covered call options on its equity holdings to generate additional income from premiums. The equity portion focuses on securities with attractive quality and shareholder yield, while the convertible portion may include below-investment-grade instruments. The fund aims to maintain a consistent distribution level through a managed distribution plan, which may be sourced from net investment income, realized capital gains, or a return of capital.
