The Virtus Global Dividend & Income Fund Inc., originally established on September 30, 1988, by Virtus Investment Partners, Inc., operates as a balanced, closed-end investment vehicle. Formerly known as The Zweig Total Return Fund, Inc., its portfolio is currently managed through a collaborative effort involving Virtus Investment Advisers, Inc., Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management LLC, and Newfleet Asset Management, LLC. This actively managed fund primarily allocates capital across the public stock and bond markets within the United States. It aims to invest in companies spanning a wide array of sectors, with a particular emphasis on large-capitalization firms that exhibit "growth at a reasonable price" (GARP) characteristics for its equity holdings. Complementing this, the fund also acquires investment-grade debt issued by both corporations and government entities. Its investment performance is measured against a composite benchmark, which is split 60% to the Russell Developed Large Cap Index and 40% to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The fund is legally domiciled in the United States.
Key Metrics
Distribution Yield
9.81%
The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.Annualized Distribution
$0.6600
The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.Frequency
M Monthly
How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.Rank Score
64.6
Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.RSI (14)
47
Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.52-Week Range
$6.00 – $7.10
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
n/a
The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.Years Paying
37
How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.S.A.F.E. Dividend Read
