The Virtus Duff & Phelps Water Fund underperformed the S&P Global Water Index in Q4 2025, lagging behind its benchmark despite broader market gains. Stock selection in engineering & consulting and international utilities drove the fund’s weaker relative performance, outweighing gains in other sectors. U.S. industrials, agriculture, and domestic utilities partially offset losses, with positive allocation decisions mitigating some of the underperformance.

Political uncertainty and shifting central bank policies created intermittent volatility, though markets remained resilient overall.
