Virtus marketed and offered funds with an "AlphaSector" strategy through a relationship with investment advisor firm F-Squared Investments, Inc.

On December 22, 2014, the SEC announced it had formally charged F-Squared and its President for fraud and other violations of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, and that it had reached a settlement with F-Squared regarding those charges.

If you suffered a loss in Virtus you have until April 21, 2015 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff.
