Description: NFJ Virtus Dividend Interest November 13, 2025
Virtus Dividend Interest & Premium Strategy Fund (NYSE: NFJ) is a U.S.-based, derivative-income fund that seeks to generate current income and capital appreciation by writing covered call options on dividend-paying equities.
Key metrics (as of the most recent filing) show a 30-day SEC yield of roughly 5.2% and an expense ratio of 0.85%, positioning the fund above the average yield of traditional equity-income ETFs but with higher volatility due to its options overlay.
Economic drivers that materially affect NFJ’s performance include the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate trajectory-higher rates tend to compress option premiums and can reduce the fund’s income generation-and corporate dividend trends, especially in the consumer-discretionary and technology sectors where the fund holds sizable exposures.
Sector-level analysis indicates that the fund’s call-writing strategy benefits from elevated implied volatility in the S&P 500, which historically boosts option premiums; a recent rise in the VIX to 22-23 points has therefore been a favorable backdrop for income capture.
