The name Virtus comes from ancient Rome and embodies concepts of excellence, character, and courage. It took courage for the four founding partners to step out on their own and start a new firm that would fulfill their vision of an independent company that combined cutting edge technology and exceptional customer service would better serve their customers in the structured credit industry. Partners represents the founding partners, but also the partnership between the founders and their employees and again with the firm's clients.
