#### Virtus Newfleet Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

#### (formerly, Virtus Seix Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond Fund)

#### (the "Fund") ,

#### a series of Virtus Asset Trust
Supplement dated June 15, 2026 to the Fund's Summary Prospectus

and the Virtus Asset Trust Statutory Prospectus, each dated April 28, 2026, as supplemented

#### IMPORTANT NOTICE TO INVESTORS
As previously disclosed to shareholders, effective after the close of business on June 12, 2026, Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC ("VFIA"), the subadviser to the Fund, has transferred the employees involved in the day-to-day management of the Fund from its Seix Investment Advisors ("Seix") division to its Newfleet Asset Management ("Newfleet") division. Accordingly, the Fund has been renamed Virtus Newfleet Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, and all references to Virtus Seix Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond Fund are hereby changed to reflect the new name. Because Seix and Newfleet are both operating divisions of VFIA, this is not a change in subadviser and will not impact the management of the Fund.

Also effective after the close of business on June 12, 2026, the Fund's investment adviser has lowered the Fund's investment advisory fee rates so that they are contractually 0.45% on the first billion of the Fund's net assets and 0.40% on net assets over $1 billion. The resulting changes to the Fund's prospectuses are described in more detail below.

-- End of Supplement Text --

Under "Fees and Expenses" in the Fund's summary prospectus and the summary section of the statutory prospectus, the "Shareholder Fees" and "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" tables and associated footnotes are hereby replaced with the following:

---

(a) Not included in the
table are extraordinary expenses. If such amounts were reflected in this table, the Other Expenses would
have been 0.33% for Class A Shares and 0.38% for Class I Shares.

(b) The fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to limit the fund's
total operating expenses (excluding certain expenses, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales
charges, taxes, leverage and borrowing expenses (such as commitment, amendment and renewal expenses on
credit or redemption facilities), interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with
any merger or reorganization, unusual or infrequently occurring expenses (such as litigation), acquired
fund fees and expenses, and dividend expenses, if any) so that such expenses do not exceed 0.67% for
Class A Shares and 0.50% for Class I Shares through April 30, 2027. Prior to April 30, 2027, only the
fund's Board may modify or terminate the expense limitation agreement. Following the contractual period,
the adviser may discontinue these expense reimbursement arrangements at any time. Under certain conditions,
the adviser may recapture operating expenses reimbursed and/or fees waived under these arrangements for
a period of three years following the date such waiver or reimbursement occurred, provided that the recapture
does not cause the fund to exceed its expense limit in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement,
and any in effect at the time of recapture, after repayment is taken into account.
