Description: NFJ Virtus Dividend Interest January 16, 2026
The Virtus Dividend Interest & Premium Strategy Fund (NYSE: NFJ) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that employs a derivative-income approach, primarily generating returns through option-writing and other income-producing derivatives linked to dividend-paying equities.
Recent data (as of Q4 2025) show an expense ratio of 0.85 %, assets under management of roughly $1.2 billion, and a 30-day SEC yield of 5.6 %. The fund’s performance is highly sensitive to two macro drivers: (1) the level of short-term interest rates, which affect the cost of carry for written options, and (2) equity market volatility, which influences option premiums. Its sector tilt leans toward high-yielding utilities and consumer staples, which tend to provide more stable dividend streams for the underlying exposure.
