* The source of funds for acquiring the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below) was the working capital of BMO Bankcorp, Inc. (f/k/a Harris Bankcorp, Inc.) (“BMO Bankcorp”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMO Financial Corp. (f/k/a Harris Financial Corp.) (“BFC”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Montreal (“BMO”, and together with BMO Bankcorp and BFC, the “Reporting Persons”). 378,446 shares of Common Stock (as defined below) owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired by converting 9,783 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock on August 5, 2010.

** The Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of 378,446 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons are also the beneficial owners of 35,217 shares of Series B Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Issuer”). As of the date of this Amendment to Schedule 13D, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 38.3139 shares of common stock of the Issuer (the “Common Stock), and the entire 35,217 shares of Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are convertible, in the aggregate, into 1,349,300 shares of Common Stock. The number of shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with certain customary anti-dilution protection provisions and the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends as set forth in the certificate of designations of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”). In the event that all of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are converted into Common Stock at the current conversion rate of 38.3139 shares of Common Stock per each share of Series B Preferred Stock, based upon the 7,520,884 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 28, 2011 (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons), the Reporting Persons would own 23.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

*** 34 shares of Common Stock (the “Trust Shares”) are held in a bona fide fiduciary capacity in certain trust or investment accounts for the account of third parties and are beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and BMO Harris Bank N.A., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMO Bankcorp.

**** This number does not include 2,684 shares of Common Stock held by sub-advisors of Harris myCFO Investment Advisory Services, LLC (“myCFO,” a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC) in the name of clients of myCFO.

Introductory Statement

This Second Amendment to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is being filed to amend certain information provided in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on January 12, 2009, as amended on August 20, 2010 (the “Original Filing”). Any capitalized term used in this Amendment but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such term in the Original Filing. This Amendment supplements or amends certain items in the Original Filing as indicated below. Unless otherwise specified, the information in the Original Filing remains unchanged; provided, however, that all references to Harris in the Original Filing shall refer to BMO Bankcorp, as defined herein, and all references to HFC shall refer to BFC, as defined herein.

Item 1. Security and Issuer

There are no changes to Item 1 of the Original Filing.

Item 2. Identity and Background

This Amendment amends the Original Filing to provide a new Schedule A listing the name, residence or business address, position, present principal occupation or employment, the name and, if other than any Reporting Person, the principal business and address of any corporation or organization in which such employment is conducted and citizenship of each director and executive officer of each Reporting Person.

In addition, the final paragraph of Item 2 in the Original Filing is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the persons listed on Schedule A attached hereto, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

There are no changes to Item 3 of the Original Filing.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Filing is hereby amended by deleting the last sentence in the paragraph under “Board of Directors Membership”.

In addition, Item 4 of the Original Filing is hereby supplemented with the following information:

On October 27, 2011, BMO Bankcorp entered into a Conversion and Voting Agreement (the “Conversion and Voting Agreement”) with the Issuer. Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion and Voting Agreement, BMO Bankcorp has agreed to convert (the “Series B Conversion”) all shares of its Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock effective upon the later of (i) November 1, 2011 or (ii) the date of expiration (or earlier termination) of the applicable waiting period in respect of the HSR Filings (“HSR Approval”) under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976. The Series B Conversion was subject to BMO Bankcorp’s receipt of a special dividend in respect of its Series B Preferred Stock equal to the sum of accrued but unpaid dividends payable in respect of its Series B Preferred Stock under the Certificate of Designations and the net present value of all dividends that would otherwise have been due and payable in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock from (and including) November 1, 2011 until October 31, 2014.

From October 27, 2011 and continuing until the first to occur of (i) the occurrence of the Series B Conversion or (ii) the filing of the CoD Amendment (as defined below) by the Issuer, BMO Bankcorp shall not transfer any shares of Series B Preferred Stock to any transferee, except for a transferee that has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Conversion and Voting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if HSR Approval is not received by BMO Bankcorp on or prior to December 1, 2011, BMO Bankcorp shall thereafter be permitted to transfer all or any portion of the Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of an underwritten registered offering of Common Stock, or one or more sales effected pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in each case, in connection with which BMO Bankcorp delivers shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the participating underwriter(s) or dealer(s) to be converted into Common Stock in connection with the closing of such offering or settlement of such sales (and such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are actually converted into Common Stock on or prior to such closing).

Under the Conversion and Voting Agreement, BMO Bankcorp irrevocably waived, on its own behalf and on behalf of any transferee all further rights to dividends (other than its participation in Common Stock dividends) payable on or in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designations. BMO Bankcorp also agreed to cause the resignation of the director, Ross F. Kappele, it appointed through its exercise of Series B Preferred Stock voting rights, and waived on its own behalf and on behalf of any transferee, the right of holders of Series B Preferred Stock to appoint and elect one director. In connection with this waiver, the size of the Issuer’s Board of Directors was decreased by one director. BMO Bankcorp also waived additional rights associated with the Series B Preferred Stock, including its approval rights with respect to certain transactions, pursuant to the terms of the Conversion and Voting Agreement.


BMO Bankcorp will be entitled to vote its Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Series B Conversion on matters submitted to a vote of the Issuer’s common stockholders. In accordance with the terms of the Conversion and Voting Agreement, BMO Bankcorp will not exercise voting discretion with respect to any shares of Common Stock that cause its share ownership of the Issuer to increase above 24 percent as a result of Issuer repurchases.

If the Series B Conversion does not occur prior to March 31, 2012, BMO Bankcorp has consented to the removal of the waived terms described above from the Certificate of Designations (the “CoD Amendment”).

The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Conversion and Voting Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.01.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Original Filing is hereby amended by (i) deleting the sentence “In the event that all of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are converted into Common Stock at the current conversion rate of 38.3139 shares of Common Stock per one share of Series B Preferred Stock, based upon the 7,571,746 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of August 19, 2010 (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons), the Reporting Persons would own 22.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.” and (ii) replacing it with “In the event that all of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are converted into Common Stock at the current conversion rate of 38.3139 shares of Common Stock per one share of Series B Preferred Stock, based upon the 7,520,884 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of October 28, 2011 (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons), the Reporting Persons would own 23.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.”

Item 5 of the Original Filing is hereby supplemented with the following information:

Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion and Voting Agreement, BMO Bankcorp has agreed to the Series B Conversion effective upon the later of (i) November 1, 2011 or (ii) the date of HSR Approval.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Original Filing is hereby amended by incorporating by reference the information set forth in Items 4 and 5 hereof.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

Exhibit 4.01: Conversion and Voting Agreement between BMO Bankcorp and the Issuer.
