Virtus improves its 3Q loss

Hartford asset manager Virtus Investment Partners Inc. narrowed its third-quarter loss amid growth in the assets under management.

Virtus lost $788,000, or 14 cents a share, in the three months ended Sept. 30, down from a loss of $337.2 million, or $58.43 a share, the same period last year.

Assets under management ended the quarter at $24.6 billion, up 10 percent from $22.4 billion a year ago.

CEO George R. Aylward said healthier financial markets, a net inflow of assets and a tight hand on expenses helped improve Virtus’ bottom line.
