To My Fellow Shareholders of Virtus Mutual Funds:
I am pleased to present this semiannual report that reviews the performance of your Fund(s) for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
In a reversal from the sharp downturn of late 2018, global financial markets rallied during the first six months of 2019. While global growth continued to slow, expectations of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank buoyed the markets for much of the period. In May, trade battles with China and the threat of tariffs on Mexico resulted in a brief decline, but by late June, the U.S. equity markets were at or nearing new highs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, U.S. large-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, rose 18.54%, while small-cap stocks increased 16.98%, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. Within international equities, developed markets produced the strongest returns, with the MSCI EAFE® Index (net) up 14.03%, compared to emerging markets, which returned 10.58%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net).
In fixed income markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury was 2.00% at June 30, 2019, down from 2.69% at December 31, 2018. The broader U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which tracks Treasuries and other investment-grade debt securities, was up 6.11% for the six-month period. Non-investment grade bonds produced strong returns during the period, up 9.94%, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index.
In a rising market like that of the past six months, it is easy to overlook the importance of risk management. But portfolio diversification remains a critical tool for investment success – in good markets and bad. While diversification cannot guarantee a profit or prevent a loss, owning a variety of traditional and alternative asset classes may cushion your portfolio against inevitable market fluctuations. Your financial advisor can help you ensure that your portfolio is adequately diversified across asset classes and investment strategies, with a broad array of Virtus Funds available through your fund exchange privileges. These include distinctive equity, fixed income, alternative, and asset allocation funds managed by Virtus affiliates and select subadvisers. We invite you to learn more about the Virtus family of funds atVirtus.com.
On behalf of our investment affiliates, thank you for entrusting the Virtus Funds with your assets. Should you have questions about your account or require assistance, please visitVirtus.com, or call our customer service team at 800-243-1574. We appreciate your business and remain committed to your long-term financial success.
Sincerely,
George R. Aylward
President, Virtus Funds

VIRTUS ASSET TRUST
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD OFJanuary 1, 2019 TOJune 30, 2019
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Virtus Asset Trust Fund discussed in this shareholder report (each, a “Fund”), you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases of Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges on Class C shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and service fees, and other expenses. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are sold without sales charges and do not incur distribution and service fees. Class R6 shares also do not incur shareholder servicing fees. For further information regarding applicable sales charges, see Note 1 in the Notes to Financial Statements. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the accompanying tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

* | Expenses are equal to the relevant Fund’s annualized expense ratio, which is net of waived fees and reimbursed expenses, if applicable, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181) expenses were accrued in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365 to reflect the one-half year period. |
For Funds which may invest in other funds, the annualized expense ratios noted above do not reflect fees and expenses associated with the underlying funds. If such fees and expenses had been included, the expenses would have been higher.
You can find more information about a Fund’s expenses in the Financial Statements section that follows. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, refer to that Fund’s prospectus.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

Securities held by the Fund with an end of period value of $649 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in trading activities at period end.
Some of the Fund’s investments that were categorized as Level 3 were valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. Such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of Level 3 investments.
Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the rollforward of Level 3 securities and assumptions are not shown for the period ended June 30, 2019.

The following table summarizes the market value of the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them (See Security Valuation Note 2A in the Notes to Financial Statements):
| Total Value at June 30, 2019 | | Level 2 Significant Observable Inputs | | Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs |
Assets: | | | | | |
Debt Securities: | | | | | |

Total Investments | $300,655 | | $299,771 | | $884 |
There were no securities valued using quoted prices (Level 1) at June 30, 2019.
Securities held by the Fund with an end of period value of $563 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in trading activities at period end.
Some of the Fund’s investments that were categorized as Level 3 were valued utilizing third party pricing information without adjustment. Such valuations are based on unobservable inputs. A significant change in third party information could result in a significantly lower or higher value of Level 3 investments.
Management has determined that the amount of Level 3 securities compared to total net assets is not material; therefore, the rollforward of Level 3 securities and assumptions are not shown for the period ended June 30, 2019.

The Seix High Grade Municipal Bond Fund, Seix Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Seix Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund and Seix Ultra-Short Bond Fund offer Class I shares and Class A shares. The Seix U.S. Government Securities Ultra-Short Bond Fund offers Class A shares, Class I shares and Class R6 shares. The Seix Core Bond Fund, Seix High Income Fund, Seix High Yield Fund and Seix Total Return Bond Fund offer Class I shares, Class A shares, Class R shares and Class R6 shares. The Seix Floating Rate High Income Fund offers Class I shares, Class A shares, Class C shares and Class R6 shares. The remaining Funds offer Class I shares, Class A shares and Class C shares.
Class A shares of the Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% with some exceptions. Generally, Class A shares are not subject to any charges by the Funds when redeemed; however, a 0.50% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be imposed on certain redemptions made within a certain period following purchases on which a finder’s fee has been paid. The period for which such CDSC applies for the Funds is 12 months for the Seix Short-Term Bond Fund, Seix Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund and Seix U.S. Mortgage Fund, and 18 months for all other Funds (except the Seix U.S. Government Securities Ultra-Short Bond Fund and Seix Ultra-Short Bond Fund, which are not subject to a CDSC). The CDSC period begins on the last day of the month preceding the month in which the purchase was made.
Class C shares are generally sold with a 1% CDSC, applicable if redeemed within one year of purchase. Effective January 1, 2019, with certain exceptions, Class C shares and any reinvested dividends and other distributions paid on such shares, will be automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after the purchase date. Class I shares, Class R shares, and Class R6 shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or CDSC.
Class R6 shares are available only to the following investors without a minimum initial investment or minimum additional purchases: certain employer-sponsored retirement plans, including Section 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans, profit-sharing plans, money purchase pension plans and defined benefit plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans, in each case provided that plan level or omnibus accounts are held on the books of the Funds. Other institutional investors may be permitted to purchase Class R6 shares subject to the applicable Fund’s determination of eligibility and may be subject to a minimum initial investment requirement. Class R6 shares do not carry sales commissions or pay Rule 12b-1 fees. No compensation, administrative payments, sub-transfer agency payments or service payments are paid to brokers or other entities from Fund assets or the Funds’ distributor’s or an affiliate’s resources on sales of or investments in Class R6 shares.
The Funds may impose an annual fee on accounts having balances of less than $2,500. The small account fee may be waived in certain circumstances, as disclosed in the prospectuses and/or statements of additional information. The fees collected will be used to offset certain expenses of the Funds. These fees are reflected as “Low Balance Account Fees” in each Fund’s Statement of Operations for the period, as applicable. The net expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights includes a waiver of such low balance account fees.
Each class of shares has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that each class bears any expenses attributable specifically to that class (“class-specific expenses”) and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any Rule 12b-1 and/or shareholder service plan (“12b-1 Plan”) approved by the Board. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are not subject to a 12b-1 Plan. Class-specific expenses may include shareholder servicing fees, sub-transfer agency fees, and fees under a 12b-1 Plan, as well as certain other expenses as designated by the Funds’ Treasurer and approved by the Board. Investment income, common operating expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of each Fund are borne pro-rata by the holders of each class of shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
($ reported in thousands)
The Trust is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements and for derivatives, included in Note 3 below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.
A. | Security Valuation |
| Each Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period. |
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities). |
• | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
A description of the valuation techniques applied to a Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Restricted equity securities and private placements that are illiquid, or are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
VIRTUS ASSET TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2019
Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Funds fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated quotations received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For most bond types, the pricing service utilizes matrix pricing that considers one or more of the following factors: yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, current cash flows, type, and current day trade information, as well as dealer-supplied prices. These valuations are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Structured debt instruments such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may also incorporate collateral analysis and utilize cash flow models for valuation and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Pricing services do not provide pricing for all securities and therefore indicative bids from dealers are utilized which are based on pricing models used by market makers in the security and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Debt securities that are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Listed derivatives, such as options and futures, that are actively traded are valued at the last posted settlement price from the exchange where they are principally traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts, swaps, swaptions, options and equity linked instruments, are valued based on model prices provided by independent pricing services or from dealer quotes. Depending on the derivative type and the specific terms of the transaction, these models vary and include observable inputs in actively quoted markets including but not limited to: underlying reference entity details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, dividend and exchange rates. These instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a bilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the last posted settlement price determined by the respective exchange. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2 within the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value a Fund’s net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Fund. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
B. | Security Transactions and Investment Income |
| Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds. |
| Dividend income from REIT investments is recorded using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in distributions received from such investments based on historical information and other industry sources. The return of capital portion of the estimate is a reduction to investment income and a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed its cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts. |
C. | Income Taxes |
| Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is the intention of each Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made. |
| Certain Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. |
| Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2019, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are from the year 2015 forward (with limited exceptions). |
D. | Distributions to Shareholders |
| Distributions are recorded by each Fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. |
E. | Expenses |
| Expenses incurred together by a Fund and other affiliated mutual funds are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each such fund, except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately used. |
VIRTUS ASSET TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2019
| In addition to the net annual operating expenses that a Fund bears directly, the shareholders of a Fund indirectly bear the pro-rata expenses of any underlying mutual funds in which the Fund invests. |
F. | Foreign Currency Transactions |
| Non-U.S. investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the foreign currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period. Cost of investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at the trade date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the trade and settlement date of a portfolio transaction is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the date income is accrued and the date it is paid is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. |
G. | Securities Traded on a To-Be-Announced Basis |
| Certain Funds may trade securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, a Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities which have not yet been issued by the issuer and for which specific information, such as the face amount, maturity date and underlying pool of investments in U.S. government agency mortgage pass-through securities, is not announced. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund. Beginning on the date a Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high-grade debt obligations are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These securities are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities. |
H. | When-issued Purchases and Forward Commitments (Delayed Delivery) |
| Certain Funds may engage in when-issued or forward commitment transactions. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are also known as delayed delivery transactions. Delayed delivery transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell a security at a future date (ordinarily up to 90 days later). When-issued or forward commitments enable the Funds to lock in what is believed to be an attractive price or yield on a particular security for a period of time, regardless of future changes in interest rates. Each Fund records when-issued and forward commitment securities on the trade date. Each Fund maintains collateral for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis begin earning interest on the settlement date. |
I. | Leveraged Loans |
| Certain Funds may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. Leveraged loans are generally non-investment grade and often involve borrowers that are highly leveraged. The Funds may invest in obligations of borrowers who are in bankruptcy proceedings. Leveraged loans are typically senior in the corporate capital structure of the borrower. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. A Fund’s investment in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. When investing in loan participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan participation and only upon receipt by the lender of payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the leveraged loan with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the leveraged loan. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. |
| A Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Leveraged loans may involve foreign borrowers and investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. Direct indebtedness of emerging countries involves a risk that the government entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay the principal and interest when due. |
| The leveraged loans have floating rate loan interests which generally pay interest at rates that are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. The base lending rates are generally LIBOR, the prime rate offered by one or more U.S. banks or the certificate of deposit rate. When a leveraged loan is purchased a Fund may pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, a Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a leveraged loan. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a leveraged loan by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid. |
| As of June 30, 2019, the Funds had the following unfunded loan commitments: |
| | Unfunded Loan Commitment |
| | Seix Floating |
| | Rate High Income |
Borrower | | Fund |
Gannett Co., Inc. | | $3,577 |
U.S. Silica Co. | | 2,039 |

J. | Securities Lending |
| The Funds may loan securities to qualified brokers through a securities lending agency agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”). Under the securities lending policy, when lending securities a Fund is required to maintain collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan. Collateral may consist of cash and securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies. Cash collateral is invested in a short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the broker are recorded as income by the Fund net of fees and rebates charged/paid by BNYM for its services as securities lending agent and in connection with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the declining value of the collateral. At June 30, 2019, the Funds did not loan securities. |
Note 3. Derivative Financial Instruments and Transactions
($ reported in thousands)
Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to enable investors to understand how and why a Fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Summarized below are such disclosures and accounting policies for each specific type of derivative instrument used by certain Funds.
A. | Futures Contracts |
| A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase (long) or sell (short) a security at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to the “initial margin” requirements of the futures exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by a Fund for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract expires or is closed, gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed is realized. This is presented in the Statements of Operations as net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts. |
| Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. |
B. | Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts |
| A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by a Fund, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by the Fund are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of the contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without the delivery of foreign currency. |
| During the fiscal period, the Seix Corporate Bond Fund and Seix Total Return Bond Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to, or hedge exposure away from, foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). Forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. |
C. | Swaps |
| Certain Funds enter into swap agreements, in which the Fund and a counterparty agree either to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are negotiated in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). The value of the swap is reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Swaps at value”. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps” in the Statements of Operations. |
| Any upfront premiums paid are recorded as assets and any upfront fees received are recorded as liabilities and are shown under “Swaps at value” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are amortized over the term of the swap. When a swap is terminated, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the unamortized premium received or paid. Cash settlements between the Fund and the counterparty are recognized as “Net realized gain (loss) on swaps” in the Statements of Operations. Swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. |
| In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is submitted to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a clearing broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the clearing broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. |
VIRTUS ASSET TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2019
| Securities deposited as margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Cash pledged as collateral for swaps”. |
| Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions. |
| Credit default swaps – A Fund may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the protection seller to make specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on a combination or basket of single-name issuers are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the protection seller to make specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to any of the referenced entities (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a write-down, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Fund will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Fund will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. The Funds may enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). |
| During the period, the Seix Corporate Bond Fund and Seix Total Return Bond Fund utilized both single name credit default swaps and credit index swaps to gain exposure to short individual securities or to gain exposure to a credit or asset-backed index. |

D. | Derivative Risks |
| A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. |
| A Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Fund. For OTC purchased options, each Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by a Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund, and not the counterparty to perform. |
VIRTUS ASSET TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2019
| With exchange traded purchased options and futures and centrally cleared swaps generally speaking, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund. |
| In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, each Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. |
E. | Collateral Requirements and Master Netting Agreements (“MNA”) |
| For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds and the counterparty. |
| Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Typically, the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. |
| For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
At June 30, 2019, the Funds’ derivative assets and liabilities (by type) are as follows: | | | | |
| Seix Corporate Bond Fund | | Seix Total Return Bond Fund |

Note 8. Credit Risk and Asset Concentration
In countries with limited or developing markets, investments may present greater risks than in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of these investments and the income they generate, as well as a Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.
High-yield/high-risk securities typically entail greater price volatility and/or principal and interest rate risk. There is a greater chance that an issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments on time. Analysis of the creditworthiness of issuers of high-yield/high-risk securities may be complex, and as a result, it may be more difficult for the Adviser and/or subadviser to accurately predict risk.
Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that the market may fluctuate for other reasons, and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. Insured securities have been identified in the Schedule of Investments. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in the Funds.
VIRTUS ASSET TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2019
Certain Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in the pursuit of their investment objectives. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on a Fund, positive or negative, than if the Fund did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.
Note 9. Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and in separate agreements between each Trustee and the Trust, its Trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and its funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust and the Funds enter into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s and/or the Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust or the Funds and that have not occurred. However, neither the Trust nor the Funds have had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements, and they expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 10. Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category.
Each Fund will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities.
At June 30, 2019, the Funds did not hold any securities that were restricted.
Note 11. Redemption Facility
($ reported in thousands)
On September 18, 2017, the Funds and certain other affiliated funds entered into a $250,000 unsecured line of credit (“Credit Agreement”). $100,000 of the Credit Agreement was reserved for the Seix Floating Rate High Income Fund. On March 15, 2018, the Trust, on behalf of Seix Floating Rate High Income Fund, entered into a separate $150,000 line of credit for that Fund and the original Credit Agreement was reduced to $150,000. Each Credit Agreement, as amended, is with a commercial bank that allows the Funds to borrow cash from the bank to manage large unexpected redemptions and trade fails, up to a limit of one-third of each Fund’s total net assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Each Credit Agreement has a term of 364 days and has been renewed for a period up to March 12, 2020. Interest is charged at the higher of the LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed. Commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance. The Funds and other affiliated funds that are parties are individually, and not jointly, liable for their particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The lending bank has the ability to require repayment of outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement upon certain circumstances such as an event of default.
The Funds had no outstanding borrowings at the end of the period.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized for tax years beginning after December 22, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
Capital losses realized after October 31 and certain late year losses may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the fiscal period ended December 31, 2018, the Funds deferred and recognized qualified late year losses as follows:

Note 13. Regulatory Matters and Litigation
From time to time, the Trust, the Funds, the Adviser and/or the subadviser and/or their affiliates may be involved in litigation and arbitration as well as examinations and investigations by various regulatory bodies, including the SEC, involving compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting their products and other activities. At this time, the Adviser believes that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually or in aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.

June 30, 2019
Note 14. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. This ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of ASU No. 2018-13 and has determined to early adopt all aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU effective immediately.
Note 15. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

To My Fellow Shareholders of Virtus Mutual Funds:
I am pleased to present this semiannual report that reviews the performance of your Fund(s) for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
In a reversal from the sharp downturn of late 2018, global financial markets rallied during the first six months of 2019. While global growth continued to slow, expectations of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank buoyed the markets for much of the period. In May, trade battles with China and the threat of tariffs on Mexico resulted in a brief decline, but by late June, the U.S. equity markets were at or nearing new highs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, U.S. large-cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, rose 18.54%, while small-cap stocks increased 16.98%, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. Within international equities, developed markets produced the strongest returns, with the MSCI EAFE®Index (net) up 14.03%, compared to emerging markets, which returned 10.58%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net).
In fixed income markets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury was 2.00% at June 30, 2019, down from 2.69% at December 31, 2018. The broader U.S. fixed income market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which tracks Treasuries and other investment-grade debt securities, was up 6.11% for the six-month period. Non-investment grade bonds produced strong returns during the period, up 9.94%, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index.
In a rising market like that of the past six months, it is easy to overlook the importance of risk management. But portfolio diversification remains a critical tool for investment success – in good markets and bad. While diversification cannot guarantee a profit or prevent a loss, owning a variety of traditional and alternative asset classes may cushion your portfolio against inevitable market fluctuations. Your financial advisor can help you ensure that your portfolio is adequately diversified across asset classes and investment strategies, with a broad array of Virtus Funds available through your fund exchange privileges. These include distinctive equity, fixed income, alternative, and asset allocation funds managed by Virtus affiliates and select subadvisers. We invite you to learn more about the Virtus family of funds atVirtus.com.
On behalf of our investment affiliates, thank you for entrusting the Virtus Funds with your assets. Should you have questions about your account or require assistance, please visitVirtus.com, or call our customer service team at 800-243-1574. We appreciate your business and remain committed to your long-term financial success.
Sincerely,
George R. Aylward
President, Virtus Funds

VIRTUS ASSET TRUST
DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD OFJanuary 1, 2019 TOJune 30, 2019
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Virtus Asset Trust Fund discussed in this shareholder report (each, a “Fund”), you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases of Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges on Class C shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and service fees, and other expenses. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are sold without sales charges and do not incur distribution and service fees. Class R6 shares also do not incur shareholder servicing fees. For further information regarding applicable sales charges, see Note 1 in the Notes to Financial Statements. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the accompanying tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD OFJanuary 1, 2019 TOJune 30, 2019
** | February 26, 2019, is the date the Class started accruing expenses. Expenses are equal to the Fund Class’ annualized expense ratio, which is net of waived fees and reimbursed expenses, if applicable, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (123) expenses were accrued in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365 to reflect the one-half year period. |

You can find more information about a Fund’s expenses in the Financial Statements section that follows. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, refer to that Fund’s prospectus.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

As of the date of this report, 20 funds of the Trust are offered for sale, of which 7 (each a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) are reported in this semiannual report. Each Fund has a distinct investment objective and is diversified.
Before each Fund identified below commenced operations, on July 14, 2017, all of the property, assets and liabilities of the corresponding fund identified as its respective Predecessor Fund (“Predecessor Fund”) were transferred to the Fund in a tax-free reorganization as set forth in an agreement and plan of reorganization (each a “RidgeWorth Reorganization”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and RidgeWorth Funds, on behalf of the Predecessor Funds. As a result of each RidgeWorth Reorganization, the applicable Fund assumed the performance and accounting history of its corresponding Predecessor Fund. Financial information included for the dates prior to the RidgeWorth Reorganizations is that of the Predecessor Funds.

Class R6 shares are offered by the Ceredex Large-Cap Value Equity Fund, the Ceredex Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund, the Ceredex Small-Cap Value Equity Fund, the SGA International Growth Fund, and the Silvant Large-Cap Growth Stock Fund.
Class A shares of the Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% with some exceptions. Generally, Class A shares are not subject to any charges by the Funds when redeemed; however, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be imposed on certain redemptions made within a certain period following purchases on which a finder’s fee has been paid. The period for which such CDSC applies for the Funds is 18 months. The CDSC period begins on the last day of the month preceding the month in which the purchase was made.
Class C shares are generally sold with a 1% CDSC, applicable if redeemed within one year of purchase. Effective January 1, 2019, with certain exceptions, Class C shares and any reinvested dividends and other distributions paid on such shares, will be automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after the purchase date. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or CDSC.
Class R6 shares are available only to the following investors without a minimum initial investment or minimum additional purchases: certain employer-sponsored retirement plans, including Section 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans, profit-sharing plans, money purchase pension plans and defined benefit plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans, in each case provided that plan level or omnibus accounts are held on the books of the Funds. Other institutional investors may be permitted to purchase Class R6 shares subject to the applicable Fund’s determination of eligibility and may be subject to a minimum initial investment requirement. Class R6 shares do not carry sales commissions or pay Rule 12b-1 fees. No compensation, administrative payments, sub-transfer agency payments or service payments are paid to brokers or other entities from Fund assets or the Funds’ distributor’s or an affiliate’s resources on sales of or investments in Class R6 shares.

The Funds may impose an annual fee on accounts having balances of less than $2,500. The small account fee may be waived in certain circumstances, as disclosed in the prospectuses and/or statements of additional information. The fees collected will be used to offset certain expenses of the Funds. These fees are reflected as “Low Balance Account Fees” in each Fund’s Statement of Operations for the period, as applicable. The net expense ratio disclosed in the Financial Highlights includes a waiver of such low balance account fees.
Each class of shares has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that each class bears any expenses attributable specifically to that class (“class-specific expenses”) and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any Rule 12b-1 and/or shareholder service plan (“12b-1 Plan”) approved by the Board. Class I shares and Class R6 shares are not subject to a 12b-1 Plan. Class-specific expenses may include shareholder servicing fees, sub-transfer agency fees, and fees under a 12b-1 Plan, as well as certain other expenses as designated by the Funds’ Treasurer and approved by the Board. Investment income, common operating expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of each Fund are borne pro-rata by the holders of each class of shares.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
($ reported in thousands)
The Trust is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.
A. | Security Valuation |
| Each Fund utilizes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period. |
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities (security types generally include listed equities). |
• | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
A description of the valuation techniques applied to a Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
Equity securities are valued at the official closing price (typically last sale) on the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded or, if no closing price is available, at the last bid price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Restricted equity securities and private placements that are illiquid, or are internally fair valued by the Valuation Committee, are generally categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
Certain non-U.S. securities may be fair valued in cases where closing prices are not readily available or are deemed not reflective of readily available market prices. For example, significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that non-U.S. markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) that may impact the value of securities traded in these non-U.S. markets. In such cases, the Funds fair value non-U.S. securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the non-U.S. security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes, as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain non-U.S. common stocks may occur on a frequent basis.
Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Over-the-counter derivative contracts, which include forward currency contracts and equity-linked instruments, do not require material subjectivity as pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE each business day. Each is categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
A summary of the inputs used to value a Fund’s net assets by each major security type is disclosed at the end of the Schedule of Investments for each Fund. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
B. | Security Transactions and Investment Income |
| Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Each Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Any distributions from underlying funds are recorded in accordance with the character of the distributions as designated by the underlying funds. |
VIRTUS ASSET TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2019
| Dividend income from REIT investments is recorded using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in distributions received from such investments based on historical information and other industry sources. The return of capital portion of the estimate is a reduction to investment income and a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed its cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts. |
C. | Income Taxes |
| Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is the intention of each Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made. |
| Certain Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Each Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. |
| Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2019, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are from the year 2015 forward (with limited exceptions). |
D. | Distributions to Shareholders |
| Distributions are recorded by each Fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. |
E. | Expenses |
| Expenses incurred together by a Fund and other affiliated mutual funds are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each such fund, except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately used. |
| In addition to the net annual operating expenses that a Fund bears directly, the shareholders of a Fund indirectly bear the pro-rata expenses of any underlying mutual funds in which the Fund invests. |
F. | Foreign Currency Transactions |
| Non-U.S. investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the foreign currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period. Cost of investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at the trade date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the trade and settlement date of a portfolio transaction is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates between the date income is accrued and the date it is paid is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. |
G. | Securities Lending |
| The Funds may loan securities to qualified brokers through a securities lending agency agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”). Under the securities lending policy, when lending securities a Fund is required to maintain collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with changes in the market value of securities on loan. Collateral may consist of cash and securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies. Cash collateral is invested in a short-term money market fund. Dividends earned on the collateral and premiums paid by the broker are recorded as income by the Fund net of fees and rebates charged/paid by BNYM for its services as securities lending agent and in connection with this securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the recovery of the loaned securities or in the declining value of the collateral. At June 30, 2019, the following Fund had securities on loan: |

Note 7. Credit and Sector Risk
In countries with limited or developing markets, investments may present greater risks than in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of these investments and the income they generate, as well as a Fund’s ability to repatriate such amounts.
Certain Funds may invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in the pursuit of their investment objectives. Fluctuations in these sectors of concentration may have a greater impact on a Fund, positive or negative, than if the Fund did not concentrate its investments in such sectors.

Note 8. Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and in separate agreements between each Trustee and the Trust, its Trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and its funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust and the Funds enter into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s and/or the Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust or the Funds and that have not occurred. However, neither the Trust nor the Funds have had prior claims or losses pursuant to these arrangements, and they expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 9. Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Generally, 144A securities are excluded from this category.
Each Fund will bear any costs, including those involved in registration under the 1933 Act, in connection with the disposition of such securities.
At June 30, 2019, the Funds did not hold any securities that were restricted.

This Credit Agreement, as amended, is with a commercial bank that allows the Funds to borrow cash from the bank to manage large unexpected redemptions and trade fails, up to a limit of one-third of each Fund’s total net assets in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This Credit Agreement has a term of 364 days and has been renewed for a period up to March 12, 2020. Interest is charged at the higher of the LIBOR or the Federal Funds rate plus an additional percentage rate on the amount borrowed. Commitment fees are charged on the undrawn balance. The Funds and other affiliated funds that are parties are individually, and not jointly, liable for their particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The lending bank has the ability to require repayment of outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement upon certain circumstances such as an event of default.
The following Fund had an outstanding loan during the period. The borrowings were valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Fund | | Interest Incurred on Borrowing | | Average Dollar Amount of Borrowing | | Weighted Average Interest Rate on Borrowing | | Days Loan was Open |

Note 12. Reorganization
($ reported in thousands)
On August 10, 2017, the Board of Trustees of Virtus Asset Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) with respect to Virtus Contrarian Value Fund (the “Merged Fund”), a series of Virtus Equity Trust, and Virtus Ceredex Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of Virtus Asset Trust, which provided for the transfer of all of the assets of the Merged Fund for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption of the liabilities of the Merged Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to allow shareholders of the Merged Fund to own shares of a fund with a similar investment objective and style as, superior performance for the one-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2016, than, and potentially lower expenses than, the Merged Fund. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on January 19, 2018. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Merged Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Merged Fund | | Shares Outstanding | | Acquiring Fund | | Shares Converted | | Merged Fund Net Asset Value of Converted Shares |
Virtus Contrarian Value Fund | | Class A | 1,995 | | Virtus Ceredex Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund | | Class A | 5,225 | | $66,645 |
| | Class C | 747 | | | | Class C | 1,910 | | 23,733 |
| | Class I | 1,067 | | | | Class I | 2,755 | | 35,576 |
| | Class R6 | 4 | | | | Class R6 | 11 | | 136 |
The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) before the acquisition were as follows:
Merged Fund | | Net Assets | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | Acquiring Fund | | Net Assets |
Virtus Contrarian Value Fund
| | $126,090 | | $51,560 | | Virtus Ceredex Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund | | $2,975,539 |
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2018, the Virtus Ceredex Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund’s results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2018, would have been as follows:
Net investment income (loss)
| $26,073(a) |
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments
| (225,475) (b) |
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations
| $(199,402) |
(a) $25,960, as reported in the Statement of Operations, plus $113 Net investment income from Virtus Contrarian Value Fund pre-merger.
(b) $(237,849), as reported in the Statement of Operations, plus $12,374 Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments from Virtus Contrarian Value Fund pre-merger.
Because the combined Funds have been managed as an integrated single Fund since the completion date it is also not feasible to separate the income/(losses) and gains/(losses) of the merged Virtus Contrarian Value Fund that have been included in the acquiring Virtus Ceredex Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund Statement of Operations since January 19, 2018.

Note 13. Regulatory Matters and Litigation
From time to time, the Trust, the Funds, the Adviser and/or subadvisers and/or their affiliates may be involved in litigation and arbitration as well as examinations and investigations by various regulatory bodies, including the SEC, involving compliance with, among other things, securities laws, client investment guidelines, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting their products and other activities. At this time, the Adviser believes that the outcomes of such matters are not likely, either individually or in aggregate, to be material to these financial statements.
Note 14. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. This ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of ASU No. 2018-13 and has determined to early adopt all aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU effective immediately.
Note 15. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

CONSIDERATION OF SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR VIRTUS SGA INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (UNAUDITED)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Virtus Asset Trust (the “Trust”) is responsible for the consideration and approval of advisory and subadvisory agreements for the Trust. At an in-person meeting held on May 21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (such Act, the “1940 Act” and such Trustees, the “Independent Trustees”), authorized the appointment of Sustainable Growth Advisers, LP (the “Subadviser”) as subadviser to Virtus SGA International Growth Fund (the “Fund”) and approved a new interim subadvisory agreement and new investment subadvisory agreement with the Subadviser (the “Subadvisory Agreements”). In connection with the appointment of the Subadviser, the Board also considered and approved the name change from Virtus WCM International Equity Fund to Virtus SGA International Growth Fund.
In considering the proposals, the Board requested and evaluated information provided by Virtus Fund Advisers, LLC (“VFA”) and the Subadviser which, in the Board’s view, constituted information necessary for the Board to form a judgment as to whether approval of each of the Subadvisory Agreements would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board in its meetings throughout the year with respect to the services to be provided by the Subadviser and its representatives to other Virtus Funds. The Board noted the affiliation of the Subadviser with VFA and any potential conflicts of interest.
The Board was separately advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Board considered all the criteria separately with respect to the Fund and its shareholders. In its deliberations, the Board considered various factors, including those discussed below, none of which were controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Independent Trustees also discussed the proposed approval of the Subadvisory Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
Basis for the Board’s Recommendation
In making its determination with respect to the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board considered various factors, including:
• | Nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Subadviser. The Trustees received in advance of the Meeting information provided by the Subadviser, including the Subadviser’s Form ADV, as well as a presentation provided by portfolio management personnel of the Subadviser. The Board noted that the Subadviser would provide portfolio management, compliance with the Fund’s investment policies and procedures, compliance with applicable securities laws and assurances thereof. The Board also noted that VFA’s and the Subadviser’s management of the Fund is subject to the oversight of the Board and must be carried out in accordance with the investment objective, policies and restrictions set forth in the Fund’s prospectuses and statement of additional information. In considering the approval of the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board also considered the Subadviser’s investment management process, including (a) the experience and capability of the Subadviser’s management and other personnel committed by the Subadviser to the Fund; (b) the financial condition of the Subadviser; (c) the quality of the Subadviser’s regulatory and legal compliance policies, procedures and systems; and (d) the Subadviser’s brokerage and trading practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars. The Board also took into account the Subadviser’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board noted the Subadviser’s regulatory history, including whether it was currently involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. After considering all of the information provided to them, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided by the Subadviser were satisfactory and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Subadviser would provide a high quality of investment services to the Fund. |
• | Investment Performance. The Board considered the performance of a composite managed by the proposed Subadviser versus a peer group, an appropriate index and the Fund’s historical performance and was satisfied with the proposed Subadviser’s performance. |
• | Subadvisory Fee. The Board took into account that the Fund’s subadvisory fees are paid by VFA out of its management fees rather than paid separately by the Fund, so that the Fund’s shareholders would not be directly impacted by those fees. The Board also noted that the proposed subadvisory fee schedule under the Subadvisory Agreements was the same as the subadvisory fee schedule for subadvisers of the Trust’s other series. The Board concluded that the proposed subadvisory fees were fair and reasonable in light of services to be provided by the Subadviser and all factors considered. |
• | Profitability and Economies of Scale. In considering the projected profitability to the Subadviser in connection with its relationship to the Fund, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreements would be paid by VFA out of the fees that VFA receives under the Advisory Agreement, so that Fund shareholders would not be directly impacted by those fees. In considering the reasonableness of the fees payable by VFA to the Subadviser, the Board noted that, because the Subadviser is an affiliate of VFA, such profitability might be directly or indirectly shared by VFA. For each of the above reasons, the Board concluded that the projected profitability to the Subadviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund was not a material factor in approval of the Subadvisory Agreements. For similar reasons, and based upon the expected size of the Fund to be managed by the Subadviser, the Board concluded that the potential for economies of scale in the Subadviser’s management of the Fund was not a material factor in the approval of the Subadvisory Agreements at this time. |
CONSIDERATION OF SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR VIRTUS SGA INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
• | Other Factors. The Board considered other benefits that may be realized by the Subadviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. Among them, the Board recognized that VP Distributors, LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the distributor for the Trust, and, as such, receives payments pursuant to Rule 12b-1 from the Fund to compensate it for providing selling activities, which could lead to growth in the Fund’s assets and corresponding benefits from such growth, including economies of scale. The Board also noted that an affiliate of VFA and the Subadviser also provides administrative and transfer agency services to the Trust. The Board noted management’s discussion of the fact that, while the Subadviser is an affiliate of VFA, there are no other direct benefits to the Subadviser in providing subadvisory services to the Fund, other than the fee to be earned under the Subadvisory Agreements, although there may be certain indirect benefits gained, including to the extent that serving the Fund could provide the opportunity to provide subadvisory services to additional series of the Trust or certain reputational benefits. |
Conclusion
Based on all of the foregoing considerations, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that approval of each Subadvisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Subadvisory Agreements.
