The Virtus Convertible & Income Fund, previously known as AGIC Convertible & Income Fund, is a U.S.-domiciled, closed-end mutual fund specializing in fixed-income investments. Launched and primarily overseen by Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, with Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC serving as co-manager, this fund was established on March 31, 2003. Its investment strategy concentrates on the fixed-income markets within the United States, predominantly allocating capital to convertible securities and non-convertible high-yield bonds that are rated below investment grade.

Portfolio construction is driven by fundamental analysis and a bottom-up security selection approach, supported by proprietary models and in-house research capabilities.
