Virtus Investment Partners

As part of our Financial Literacy program, Virtus recently delivered the first of three presentations to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford, CT (BGCH) at the Northwest Club in Hartford. The session, held on March 10, centered on interactive, hands-on learning, including a game of Monopoly, to help members understand the building blocks of managing their financial futures.

Through engaging activities and discussion, the program introduced key financial concepts such as creating a budget, tracking personal income and expenses, setting financial goals, and planning for unexpected expenses, skills designed to support long-term financial confidence and decision-making.

Virtus has partnered with BGCH since 2021, supporting its mission to help young people achieve academic success and workforce readiness. We’re proud to continue this partnership and look forward to the next two sessions as we help equip the next generation with practical financial knowledge.

On July 10, Virtus’ Hartford-based summer interns spent a day volunteering with Fidelco Guide Dogs in Bloomfield, CT. Each year, our interns spend a day working with a local organization and this year chose to support Fidelco, a recognized leader in the guide dog industry, with a mission of breeding and training German Shepherd guide dogs and placing them with clients across North America who are blind or visually impaired.

Thank you to the staff at Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation for hosting us and to our interns for all their hard work.

Virtus recently delivered a Financial Literacy program to approximately 20 members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford, CT (BGCH) at the Samuel S. Gray Jr. Club at Asylum Hill.

This was the first of three financial literacy sessions for BGCH members over the next several months. The program focused on financial basics, including creating a budget, tracking personal income and expenses, setting financial goals, and managing unexpected expenses. Other activities included interactive group budgeting exercises designed to help the members prepare for their financial futures.

Virtus has been a corporate partner with BGCH since 2021, providing financial support for BGCH members to achieve academic success and workforce readiness.
