Dear Virtus
Global Multi-Sector Income Fund Shareholder:
I am pleased to present this annual report,
which reviews the performance of your fund for the 12 months ended November 30, 2023.
This report contains commentary from the
portfolio management team at Newfleet Asset Management about the financial markets and the performance of the Fund’s investments.
The fiscal year saw a generalized recovery from
the volatility that characterized much of 2022. But investor sentiment swung between optimism and pessimism depending on the outlook for inflation and interest rates. For the 12 months ended November 30, 2023, the Fund’s net asset value
(“NAV”) returned 7.19%, including $0.96 in reinvested distributions, and its market price returned 2.66%. For the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index, returned 2.05%.
Please call our customer service team at 866-270-7788 if you
have questions about your account or require assistance. We appreciate your business and remain committed to your long-term financial success.
Sincerely,
George R.
Aylward
President, Chief Executive Officer, and Trustee
Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund
January 2024

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)
November 30, 2023
About the
Fund:
Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income
Fund’s (NYSE: VGI) (the “Fund”) investment objective is to maximize current income while preserving capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by applying extensive credit research to capitalize on opportunities
across undervalued areas of the global bond markets. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
The use of leverage allows the Fund to borrow
at short-term rates with the expectation to invest at higher yields on its investments. As of November 30, 2023, the Fund’s leverage consisted of $43 million of borrowings made pursuant to a line of credit, which represented approximately 31%
of the Fund’s total assets.
Manager Comments –
Newfleet Asset Management (Newfleet)
Newfleet’s multi-sector fixed income
strategies team manages the Fund, leveraging the knowledge and skills of investment professionals with expertise in every sector of the bond market, including evolving, specialized, and out-of-favor sectors. The team employs active sector rotation
and disciplined risk management for portfolio construction, avoiding interest rate bets and remaining duration neutral. The following commentary is provided by the respective portfolio team at Newfleet and covers the Fund’s portfolio for the
year ended November 30, 2023.
How did the markets perform
during the Fund’s fiscal year ended November 30, 2023?
As the end of 2023 approached, economic
transitions were proceeding across the globe. China was struggling with a slowing economy amid calls for more stimulus, despite having ended its strict zero-COVID policies earlier in the year. Europe, too, was wrestling with a slowing economy and
inflation that remained above official targets. In the meantime, the U.S. economy proved remarkably resilient – unlike other major world economies, it defied expectations of a slowdown, leading to a growing consensus that the Federal Reserve
(the Fed) might be able to pull off the often-elusive soft landing. The main risk to this scenario remained the unpredictable cumulative effect of 18 months of monetary tightening on the economy. Because monetary policy works on the economy with a
lag, it presents a challenge to central bankers who are trying to return inflation to target without the associated economic pain of higher interest rates.
During the 12 months ended November 30, 2023,
the Fed raised its main policy interest rate by 1.50% in its continuing fight to tame inflation. This resulted in significant progress on headline inflation readings as supply chains healed, demand shifted from goods to services, and energy prices
rebalanced. Core readings of inflation, however, remained stubbornly above targets at the end of the period. That said, market expectations held that most major global central banks were approaching the end of their interest rate increases.
Despite the volatility during the fiscal
year, financial market performance was resilient, with most risk assets outperforming U.S. Treasuries. The U.S. Treasury yield curve shifted higher during the period and remained inverted as of November 30, 2023. The 2-year Treasury yield increased
0.37%, the 5-year Treasury yield increased by 0.53%, the 10-year Treasury yield increased by 0.72%, and the 30-year Treasury yield moved 0.76% higher.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited) (Continued)
November 30, 2023
What
factors affected the Fund’s performance during fiscal year?
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023,
the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) returned 7.19%, while its market price returned 2.66%. The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index, which serves as the Fund’s benchmark, returned 2.05%.
The Fund’s underweight to U.S.
Treasuries contributed to performance during the fiscal year. Allocation and positioning within corporate high yield, high yield bank loans, and investment grade corporates had a positive impact on performance for the 12-month period. Issue
selection within emerging markets high yield contributed to performance.
The Fund’s overweight to emerging
markets high yield detracted during the 12-month period. The underweight to non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities also had a negative impact.
Level distribution practice
The Fund has a practice of seeking to
maintain a specified level of monthly distributions to shareholders, which may be changed at any time. As a result of this practice, the Fund may pay distributions in excess of the Fund’s taxable net investment income and net realized gains.
During the most recent fiscal year, the practice did not have a material impact on the Fund’s investment strategy. Please refer to the financial highlights and federal income tax information note in this report for further information about
the Fund’s distributions and its effect on net asset value.
The preceding information is the opinion of
portfolio management only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. Any such opinions are subject to change at any time based upon market conditions and should not be relied upon as investment advice.
The Fund’s portfolio holdings are
subject to change and may not be representative of the portfolio managers’ current or future investment decisions. The mention of individual securities held by the Fund is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a
recommendation to purchase or sell any securities. Investors seeking financial advice regarding the appropriateness of investing in any securities or investment strategies discussed should consult their financial professional.

Total
return on market value is calculated assuming a purchase of common shares on the opening of the first day and sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to
be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s Automatic Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan. Total return on market value is not annualized for periods of less than one year. Brokerage commissions that a shareholder may pay are not
reflected. Total return on market value does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the sale of fund shares. Total return on net asset value uses the same methodology, but with use of net asset value
for the beginning and ending values. |

The
index is unmanaged and not available for direct investment; therefore, its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with active management of an actual portfolio. |
