What is happening

Recent company-specific developments and publisher coverage.

July 17, 2026AlphaSimplex Managed Futures Strategy Fund (AMFAX) is trading essentially flat against a backdrop of a defensive market shift, with U.S. equity futures pointing lower as a global tech rotation and AI-driven chip selloff weighs on sentiment. The fund's managed futures strategy may benefit from increased market volatility and trending moves across asset classes, as geopolitical tensions from the U.S.-Iran conflict and macro uncertainty continue to drive cross-asset dislocations—conditions historically favorable for trend-following strategies.

Company profile

The Virtus AlphaSimplex Managed Futures Strategy Fund Class A (AMFAX) is an actively managed open-end mutual fund launched on July 30, 2010, advised by Virtus Alternative Investment Advisers Inc. and sub-advised by AlphaSimplex Group, LLC, a systematic alternatives manager founded in 1999 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The fund pursues an absolute return strategy seeking long-term capital appreciation by employing a pure trend-following approach that makes extensive use of derivative instruments — including futures and forward contracts — across global equity, fixed income, currency, and commodity markets, using proprietary quantitative models to identify price trends across various time horizons. With approximately $1.46 billion in market capitalization and a net expense ratio of 1.70%, the fund is categorized in the Systematic Trend alternative investment category and requires a minimum initial investment of $2,500, carrying a front-end sales load of up to 5.75%. The strategy is designed to provide a differentiated, low-correlation source of returns relative to traditional stocks and bonds, with the potential to generate "Crisis Alpha" by capitalizing on persistent market trends during periods of market stress or dislocation.
