Summary
Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (NYSE: VRTS) disclosed preliminary figures for its assets under management as of December 31, 2025, in a release distributed via Business Wire. The Hartford, Connecticut-based boutique asset manager reported AUM of $159.5 billion and other fee earning assets of $1.8 billion, bringing total client assets to $161.3 billion at quarter end.
The company attributed the change in AUM from September 30, 2025 to two main drivers: market performance and net outflows. Outflows were recorded across U.S. retail funds, institutional accounts, and retail separate accounts. These were partially offset by positive net flows into exchange-traded funds. The release did not quantify the individual flow amounts by channel.
Preliminary average AUM for the quarter was $165.2 billion, a figure that sits above the period-end balance and reflects the sequential decline through the quarter-end. The figures are preliminary and subject to change in the company's subsequent reporting.
Virtus describes itself as a partnership of boutique investment managers serving individual and institutional investors. It provides investment products and services from its affiliated investment managers, each with a distinct investment style and autonomous process, along with select subadvisers.
