“Gaming” a Trade War
Dear Shareholder,
As noted many times in our letters, opportunities can arise almost anywhere in a connected global economy; the other side of the coin is that risks can arise anywhere too. As of this writing in late June, investors are pondering ways to avoid the risks of a global trade war as tensions around tariffs escalate in China, Europe and the United States.
The prospects of a full-blown trade war remain uncertain, which favors simplistic approaches to limiting risk, e.g., avoid exposure to China or Korea, favor U.S. small capitalization stocks over large caps (small caps are thought to have less exposure to retaliation) and buy U.S.-dollar denominated bonds. With prolonged trade barriers, however, the analysis will have to go deeper into the details; investors will have to consider the downstream effects on corporate supply chains and related segments of the economy. We believe it is possible, for example, that certain companies with both domestic and overseas manufacturing operations could sustain double hits from tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries.
While these concerns may be salient for professional traders, for the rest of us they underscore the hazards of trying to time market entries and exits. Risks and rewards will ebb and flow across the global economy, but we believe it is unwise to try getting ahead of events. We cannot know when or where opportunity or risk will arise, and attempting to predict such developments is not an effective investment strategy, in our opinion.
A sound reason to change strategy might be if your investment goals or life situation change. If your goals or needs have changed, thoroughly discuss these issues with your financial advisor before undertaking any alteration of your investment strategy.
Voya seeks to remain a reliable partner committed to reliable investing, helping you and your financial advisor achieve your goals. We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
Sincerely,
Dina Santoro

Market Perspective: Year Ended May 31, 2018
In our semi-annual report we described how a “buy-the-dip” mentality prevailed among investors in risk assets, in which any disappointment or setback was soon forgiven. Global equities, in the form of the MSCI World IndexSM (the “Index”) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends, rose every month and returned 8.28% for the half-year. The narrative of improving global growth and corporate earnings, with monetary conditions still historically easy, seemed intact. (The Index returned 11.57% for the year ended May 31, 2018, measured in U.S. dollars.)
But in February the spell was broken, and after 15 consecutive gains, the Index suffered its first monthly loss. Another loss followed in March, and for the whole fiscal year the Index was little improved on the half, gaining 10.52%.
By the middle of the fiscal year, growth in gross domestic product (“GDP”) had been reported at 3.16% annualized for the third quarter. Tax reform progressed fitfully from outline in October until the final product was signed into law on December 22. For investors the key feature of tax reform was the reduction in the corporate tax rate to 21%, which many believed would be used to increase share buy-backs and dividends.
Nine days earlier the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) had raised the federal funds rate by 25bp (0.25%) from 1.25% to 1.50%, with three more increases projected for 2018. As 2017 ended, new unemployment claims were near a 44-year low and the unemployment rate was stable at 4.1%. Some commentators wondered whether a tax cut stimulus costing $1 trillion to an already strong economy near full employment, would require more than three increases, and how would markets react when this became evident.
In Europe, evidence of the euro zone’s economic recovery continued to accumulate in the first weeks of 2018, with GDP growth at 2.8% year-over-year and unemployment edging down to 8.6%, the lowest since December 2008. Purchasing managers’ indices, closely watched leading indicators of economic activity, reached multi-year highs early in 2018. But as the months wore on, these were starting to fade and the May readings were the lowest of the year. The UK’s economy was still beset by uncertainty over Brexit. Its purchasing managers’ indices were worse than the euro zone’s and first quarter GDP was just 1.2% above the level one year earlier.
In Asia, China’s GDP growth was steady at 6.8% year-over-year in the last two quarters. In Japan, GDP grew for eight consecutive quarters, but by the fourth quarter of 2017 it was a scant 0.6% annualized and in the next quarter it fell by the same amount, with wage and price inflation still stubbornly low.
Back in the U.S., economic reports had a moderate tone early in 2018. Mixed purchasing managers’ indices were accompanied by a mildly disappointing employment report. GDP growth was initially recorded at 2.6% annualized in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Then in late January, Bloomberg reported that the Treasury would boost bond sales to cover a mounting budget deficit, now projected to reach $1.1 trillion by 2019. FOMC minutes were seen as hawkish and on March 21 the FOMC raised rates from 1.50% to 1.75%. Days later, GDP growth was revised up to 2.9%. Unemployment in April broke below 4%. In May, Treasury yields neared seven-year highs, with wage and price inflation accelerating.
But by then investors had more to worry about than rising U.S. interest rates. On March 1, the White House announced tariffs of 25% on imported steel and 10% on aluminum, followed three weeks later by specific tariffs on Chinese imports. While the measures looked like bargaining chips, threats of retaliation were swift and the risks of a trade war to global growth, which had underpinned much of the rise in equity prices in recent years, were abundantly clear. After a reprieve, on the last day of our fiscal year it was announced that the tariffs would take effect immediately.
In U.S. fixed income markets, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index fell 0.37% in the fiscal year. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond Index fell 0.83%, as the yield curve rose. Indices of riskier classes performed better than Treasuries. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond sub-index edged up 0.06%, the Bloomberg Barclays High-Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index (not a part of the Barclays Aggregate) added 2.35%.
U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Index including dividends, rose 14.38% in the year. The earnings per share of its constituent companies were set to record growth in the first quarter of 2018 of 24.6% year-over-year, the most since the third quarter of 2010. Technology was the top performing sector, up 28.20%; consumer staples incurred the biggest loss, down 10.14%.
Currencies reflected a weaker dollar during the period over all. The dollar fell 3.83% against the euro, 3.22% against the pound and 1.72% against the yen. However, from about April, dollar strength returned as the economic data for most of the rest of the world faded.
International markets were all unnerved by February’s general upsurge in volatility and by the risk of a trade war referred to above. In addition, the fiscal boost in the U.S. probably improved that market’s relative attractiveness. MSCI Japan® Index advanced 12.56% over the year, down about 2% in the second half, with sentiment also depressed by indications from the Bank of Japan that the end of monetary stimulus in its sights. MSCI Europe ex UK® Index rose just 0.86%. The strength of the euro worried investors as did the cooling of leading economic indicators. MSCI UK® Index gained 5.68%, driven by its big global energy and materials constituents as commodity prices recovered.

Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Jeffrey Bianchi, CFA, and Michael Pytosh, Portfolio Managers*, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 16.63% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Index” or “Russell 1000® Growth”), which returned 21.02% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed the Index due to stock selection. Stock selection within the consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors detracted the most from performance. By contrast, stock selection within the information technology sector, and to a lesser extent, the energy sector, contributed the greatest value.
Key detractors from performance were Celgene Corporation, Comcast Corporation and Crown Holdings, Inc.
An overweight position in Celgene Corporation (“CELG”), a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the treatment of inflammatory diseases and cancer, detracted from results. Starting in fourth quarter 2017, CELG experienced several disappointments and delays in its late-stage new product pipeline. It also faced softer than expected sales growth for marketed drugs Otezla (psoriasis) and Abraxane (cancer), all of which led the company to lower its long-term financial growth targets. For several months, U.S. healthcare agency discussions of lower drug prices to consumers have pressured the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors’ valuations.
An overweight position in Comcast Corporation (“CMCSA”), a media, entertainment and communications company, detracted value during the period. Shares came under pressure due to fears of a bidding war for European media company, Sky Plc. We believe this transaction, at the right price, could be a good fit and cash flow accretive for CMCSA.
An overweight position in Crown Holdings, Inc. (CCK), a manufacturer of packaging products for consumer goods, detracted from performance during the period. The stock underperformed peers due to not being a beneficiary of tax reform, having steadier growth in an accelerating

economic environment and acquiring Signode, which diversified it away from its core competency of metal can manufacturing.
Key contributors to performance were Adobe Systems Incorporated, MasterCard Incorporated and Burlington Stores, Inc.
An overweight position in digital marketing and media solutions company, Adobe Systems Incorporated (“ADBE”), generated positive results during the period. Shares advanced after ADBE strongly exceeded quarterly earnings expectations. The company also raised its fiscal year 2018 guidance, largely due to continued robust demand and expected price increases.
An overweight position in MasterCard Incorporated (“MA”) contributed to performance. Shares advanced in part on strong second quarter 2017 results in which MA exceeded top- and bottom-line performance expectations. The company also delivered notable acceleration in volumes, which underscored the positive trends in the business.
An overweight position in Burlington Stores, Inc. (“BURL”), an apparel and home product retailer, generated strong results during the period. Shares advanced after BURL exceeded quarterly earnings expectations throughout the year despite the negative impact of warm weather trends and hurricanes. The company further benefited from U.S. corporate tax reform and a positive holiday sales season.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe persistent concerns about trade protectionism and softer economic momentum seem likely to make volatility a long-term feature of the financial markets. Equities have benefited from strong quarterly earnings, though late-cycle fears have muted investor reactions, in our opinion. While it is still possible that profit margins will stabilize in the United States, we think there is more room for improvement in Europe and Japan. We believe we are still in a global environment characterized by synchronous growth in all regions, supported by consumers, corporations and governments, and that the likelihood of a recession over the next 12 months is low.

Voya Large Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital and current income. The Fund is managed by Kristy Finnegan, CFA, Vincent Costa, CFA, James Dorment, CFA, and Christopher F. Corapi, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 6.27% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “Index” or “Russell 1000® Value”), which returned 8.25% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed the Index, for the annual reporting period due to unfavorable stock selection. On the sector level, stock selection within the energy and healthcare sectors detracted value for the period. By contrast, stock selection within the industrial and utility sectors contributed to performance.
Key detractors for the period included Intel Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation and Philip Morris International, Inc.
Within the information technology sector, an underweight position in Intel detracted from performance for the period. The stock price experienced steady increases driven by better than expected growth in the Datacenter Group and improved cost control, along with a better than expected outlook for the year.
Within the energy sector, an overweight position in Exxon Mobil detracted from relative results. The company reported fourth quarter 2017 and first quarter 2018 earnings below expectations partly due to low levels of international production. Furthermore, the company announced plans to increase spending, expecting earnings and cash flow to double from its 2017 levels by 2025 as part of a long-term value-oriented growth strategy. However, investors view this as disappointing in comparison to increased share repurchases and dividend growth that others in the industry are pursuing.
Within consumer staples, an overweight position in Philip Morris, a tobacco holding company, underperformed for the period. Shares of Philip Morris sold off after reporting weak third quarter 2017 earnings, largely driven by currency headwinds, competitive pressure in Russia and sharp tax increases in Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, the stock endured its worst single-day drop in roughly 10 years following the release of the company’s first quarter 2018 earnings report. Philip Morris had an abrupt deceleration of growth for its IQOS, a heat-not-burn device, primarily in Japan. This fallback is raising doubts about the company’s long-term potential, in our view. Subsequently, given that IQOS devices were the key tenet of our thesis for accelerating profit growth,

we eliminated the position in April 2018.
Key contributors to performance for the period included General Electric Company (“GE”), Ralph Lauren Corporation and Wells Fargo & Company.
An underweight position in GE positively affected Fund performance. During the reporting period, the new CEO, John Flannery, set out his framework for a new GE model, suggesting a tough road ahead. Investors were encouraged by his plans for a more disciplined capital allocation framework and accountability around financial and operational targets. However, weaker guidance for 2018 earnings and free cash flow combined with a lack of clarity regarding the path to improvement for 2019 – 2020 put pressure on the stock. What’s more, investors reacted negatively to management cutting GE’s quarterly dividend ahead of its November 13 investor day meeting, suspending the GE Capital dividend and taking a $6.2 billion after tax-tax GAAP charge in fourth quarter 2017. The charge was higher than expected and further diminished the company’s already weak cash position.
An overweight position in Ralph Lauren Corporation, a designer, marketer and distributor of premium lifestyle products, outperformed for the period. The company consistently reported strong quarterly performance due to better than expected holiday 2017 retail sales. Additionally, investors rewarded the stock for managements’ execution of their “Way Forward” plan, which focuses on improving quality of sales, decreasing promotions and enhancing distribution, in order to promote earnings growth and create a sustainable sales platform. Expansion into e-commerce and international markets also contributed to positive investor sentiment.
An overweight position in Wells Fargo & Co. (“WFC”), a diversified financial services company, contributed to relative results. Banks as a group outperformed for the reporting period, as investors remained confident that higher interest rates, tax reform and deregulation would continue to support upside potential for the banking industry. Furthermore, the markets became confident that the company could improve returns through a large cost savings program. WFC shares outperformed through January 2018; however, we made the decision to sell out of the Fund’s position in early February, prior to news of the consent order with the Federal Reserve Board. Our decision proved to be favorable — shortly thereafter, the stock price declined sharply.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to see what we believe are attractive valuations in companies in a variety of sectors. Going forward, we believe that stocks with high-dividend yield and dividend growth potential will continue to be in demand by investors, who are searching for income and for funds with good downside capture such as the Fund seeks to provide.

Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Jeffrey Bianchi, CFA, and Michael Pytosh, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 13.13% compared to the Russell Midcap® Growth Index and the Russell Midcap® Index, which returned 18.42% and 12.67%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed the Russell Midcap® Growth Index primarily due to stock selection, most notably in the consumer discretionary and industrial sectors. By contrast, stock selection in the healthcare sector, and to a lesser extent, real estate, contributed the most to performance.
Key detractors for the period were Crown Holdings, Inc., Ulta Beauty Inc. and Alaska Air Group, Inc. (“ALK”).
An overweight position in Crown Holdings, Inc., a manufacturer of packaging products for consumer goods, detracted from performance during the period. The stock underperformed its peers due to not being a beneficiary of tax reform, having steadier growth in an accelerating economic environment and acquiring Signode, which diversified it away from its core competency of metal can manufacturing.
An overweight position in beauty retailer, Ulta Beauty, Inc., detracted from results during the period. The company’s first same-store sales earnings miss in several years, in conjunction with rising fears over Amazon’s growth in the beauty category, led to severe contraction of the stock’s earnings multiple.

An overweight position in ALK detracted from performance during the period. The stock fell after the company reported weaker than expected operating results. We believe ALK began losing its legacy Virgin America customers after the airlines merged. We have exited our position in ALK.
Among the main individual contributors to performance were Align Technology, Inc., XPO Logistics, Inc. and Fortinet, Inc.
An overweight position in Align Technology, Inc., a global medical device company focused on clear aligners used in orthodontics, contributed to results during the period. Shares advanced due to stronger than expected volume growth for Invisalign in the U.S. teen market and across several international markets.
An overweight position in transportation and logistics company, XPO Logistics, Inc. (“XPO”), contributed to performance during the period. The stock rallied on rumors that Home Depot Inc. has plans to acquire XPO.
An overweight position in security software provider, Fortinet, Inc. (“FTNT”), generated positive results during the period. Shares advanced following strong fourth quarter 2017 results and better than expected guidance, which cited solid revenue and billings growth. FTNT continues to benefit from a favorable economic and industry backdrop with an acceleration in enterprise spending.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe persistent concerns about trade protectionism and softer economic momentum seem likely to make volatility a long-term feature of the financial markets. Equities have benefited from strong quarterly earnings, though late-cycle fears have muted investor reactions, in our view. While it is still possible that profit margins will stabilize in the United States, we think there is more room for improvement in Europe and Japan. We believe we are still in a global environment characterized by synchronous growth in all regions, supported by consumers, corporations and governments, and that the likelihood of a recession over the next 12 months is low.

Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by three sub-advisers — Hahn Capital Management, LLC (“Hahn Capital Management”), LSV Asset Management (“LSV”) and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington”) (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). Each Sub-Adviser manages a portion of the Fund’s assets (each a “Sleeve”) that is allocated to each Sub-Adviser. The following individuals are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of their respective Sleeve: Elaine F. Hahn and John D. Schaeffer, Portfolio Managers of Hahn Capital Management*; Josef Lakonishok, Ph.D., Menno Vermeulen, CFA, Guy Lakonishok, CFA, Greg Sleight and Puneet Mansharamani, CFA, Portfolio Managers of LSV; and Greg Garabedian and James N. Mordy, Portfolio Managers of Wellington**.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 12.91% compared to the Russell Midcap® Value Index (the “Index” or “Russell Midcap® Value”), which returned 8.32%, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Hahn Capital Management Sleeve — The Sleeve outperformed the Russell Midcap
® Value by approximately 754 basis points (7.54%) for the year ended May 31, 2018. During the period, the Sleeve’s performance benefited from its exposure to the industrials, financials, consumer discretionary, information technology, and real estate sectors, offset by underperformance in consumer staples, healthcare and materials sectors. The dominant reason for the Sleeve’s outperformance was positive stock selection aided incrementally by sector selection. The best stock performance came from Keysight Technologies, PVH Corp., Hexcel, and CBRE Group. Detracting from performance were

declines in Envision Healthcare, Mohawk Industries, Albemarle, and Kroger. More generally, the outperformance reflected company-specific factors as well as certain secular themes and favorable cyclical economic conditions, while the underperformance reflected changing industry dynamics and consequential operating performance (e.g. Envision Healthcare and Kroger). We continue to be mindful of risks to portfolio holdings and believe ongoing attention to high-quality companies is the right strategy no matter the environment.
LSV Sleeve — The Sleeve outperformed the Russell Midcap® Value by approximately 287 basis points (2.87%) for the year ended May 31, 2018 as equity markets moved higher, although value stocks failed to keep pace with the advance. Within the Index, defensive sectors such as consumer staples and health care lagged over the period, while interest rate sensitive utilities and real estate struggled in the rising interest environment. Cyclical sectors such as materials and technology posted double-digit gains as did financials, supported by higher interest rates. The energy sector posted the strongest gain with oil prices increasing over the period.
Although the Index trailed the broader midcap market, deeper value stocks within the Index performed relatively well which benefited our approach. The Sleeve’s sector positioning, which is a residual of our model’s bottom-up stock selection process, had a positive effect on results, however, stock selection contributed most to relative performance. Although the Sleeve’s underweight to energy had a negative impact this was offset by the positive results from its overweight to materials and underweight to utilities and real estate. Stock selection results added value across most sectors as the Sleeve trailed the Index in just the financials, technology and real estate sectors. Outperformance from the energy, materials, consumer discretionary, and utilities sectors had the largest positive selection results over the period.
Stocks that contributed most during the period included positions in Valero Energy, PBF Energy, Spirit AeroSystems, Kohl’s Corp., and Newell Brands. Stock detractors included positions in Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Sanmina Corp., Whirlpool Corp., and Hawaiian Holdings.

Wellington Sleeve — The Sleeve outperformed the Russell Midcap® Value by approximately 384 basis points (3.84%) for the year ended May 31, 2018. Both sector allocation and security selection contributed to positive relative performance for the period. Selection within the materials, real estate, and industrials sectors contributed most to relative returns. These effects were only partially offset by unfavorable selection in the energy, information technology, and health care sectors. Sector allocation, a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, also contributed to outperformance during the period. In particular, underweight exposure to the real estate sector and an overweight to the information technology sector contributed most to relative returns, while overweight exposure to industrials had a modest negative effect.
Top contributors to relative performance included petrochemical manufacturer and supplier Westlake Chemical (materials), financial services company Comerica (financials), and oil and natural gas company Diamondback Energy (energy). Top detractors from relative performance included optical networking technology company Acacia Communications (information technology), tire manufacturer Goodyear (consumer discretionary), and senior living solutions company Brookdale (health care).
Current Strategy & Outlook: Hahn Capital Management Sleeve — The near- and medium-term outlook for corporate profits and growth has improved. We think that stronger economic growth, recovering commodity prices and a gradual trend toward higher interest rates are all contributing to a better outlook for corporate profits. Certainly, the tax cuts in the U.S. have boosted those net profits and broadly portend increased capital spending. In spite of the long duration of the current economic expansion, we do not see recession on the horizon yet are being mindful of the potential implications of current trade and tariff talk and of rising interest rates. We remain overweight sectors where we expect to benefit from global growth (e.g., industrials and healthcare) and remain underweight those that are not (e.g. utilities, consumer staples, and energy). We continue to be risk-focused and aim to manage cyclical exposure accordingly.
LSV Sleeve — The Sleeve remains diversified across sectors and continues to trade at a significant discount to the overall market as well as to the Index. Current valuations are 10.5 times forward earnings estimates and 7.5 times trailing cash flow compared to 15.2 times earnings and 10.8 times cash flow for the benchmark. The Sleeve also has a dividend yield of 2.7% compared to 2.2% for the benchmark. We continue to believe and empirical evidence supports that holding portfolios of deeply discounted stocks pays off well in the long-run and in the short-run is not necessarily highly correlated with market direction.
Wellington Sleeve — We seek to add value through fundamental research and bottom-up security selection. We pursue what we believe to be good companies with solid business models that trade at a discount to their fair-value relative to normalized earnings due to issues we view as solvable or temporary. We are opportunistic, focusing on company-specific fundamentals, sentiment changes, and shifts in industry-dynamics, and look beyond near-term headline factors.
At the end of the period, the most significant overweight allocations were to the industrials, materials, and information technology sectors, while the largest underweights were consumer discretionary, utilities, and real estate.

Voya Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return consisting of long-term capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, CFA and Joseph P. Smith, CFA, Portfolio Managers of CBRE Clarion Securities LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 0.23% compared to the MSCI U.S. REIT® Index (the “Index” or “MSCI U.S. REIT®”), which returned 1.30%, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: U.S. real estate stocks, as measured by the Index, delivered a 1.30% total return over the past twelve months. Performance was mixed across all property sectors as some of the more economically-sensitive sectors, such as the hotel and industrial sectors, outperformed during the period. Some of the more defensive, less economically-sensitive sectors, such as the healthcare and shopping center sectors, were relative underperformers during the period.
We believe solid economic growth and modestly increasing inflation should benefit real estate stocks in 2018. Despite a choppy start to 2018 from a share price perspective, the economic outlook is solid and should have a positive impact on commercial real estate and listed real estate companies, in our view. Economic growth has momentum in an economic expansion which continues to have “legs” at this point of an extended cycle. Total return among property companies is anchored at mid-single-digit earnings growth, a 4% dividend yield, and stable-to-increasing multiples given the backdrop of greater M&A activity. With real estate companies trading at a sizable discount to our estimate of inherent real estate value, or NAV, and an implied capitalization rate of over 6%, we believe real estate stocks remain attractively priced relative to private real estate and competing asset classes.

During the period, stock selection decisions contributed to relative performance while sector allocation decisions were neutral to relative performance. Stock selection in the storage and industrial sectors were the top contributors to relative performance. Fund holdings in the residential sector also added value and worked to offset sub-par stock selection in the net lease and mall sectors. From a sector allocation standpoint, the Fund benefited from an underweight to the underperforming healthcare sector as well as from an overweight to the outperforming mall sector. This was offset by the impact of an overweight to the underperforming technology real estate sector as well as from positioning in the shopping center sector.
Current Strategy & Outlook: We are positive on property types and markets with above average growth and valuations that are attractive relative to this growth. We continue to favor storage, technology and class-A mall companies and have become more positive on the residential sector. Within residential, we like manufactured housing, single family home-for-rent companies, student housing and have been adding to the apartment REITs, which are seeing better demand. We also favor the gaming companies within the net lease sector, although remain cautious on traditional net lease companies which tend to be more concentrated in the retail sector.
We are cautious and selective in markets and property types with headwinds to earnings growth, either for secular or cyclical reasons. We remain cautious on the more bond-like sectors that offer modest growth and trade less attractively relative to our estimate of underlying private market real estate value. This includes net lease, healthcare, large box retail centers, and suburban office.

Voya SmallCap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by James Hasso and Joseph Basset, CFA, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 15.86% compared to the Russell 2000® Growth Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which returned 25.08% and 20.76%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed both the Russell 2000® Growth Index and the Russell 2000® Index due to stock selection. Stock selection within and an underweight allocation to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector detracted the most from performance. Stock selection within the health care equipment and services sector was also a headwind during the period. By contrast, stock selection within the industrial materials and semiconductor sectors generated positive results.
Key detractors for the period were Universal Electronics Inc., Kite Pharma, Inc. and Impinj, Inc.
An overweight position in Universal Electronics Inc., a company that produces remote controls and other software applications for electronic devices, detracted from results during the period. Shares decelerated in early May following disappointing first quarter 2018 earnings results and second quarter 2018 guidance. This was due to operational headwinds putting pressure on gross margins in the short term. Continued delays and uncertainty as to when the company will lap these issues raised investor concerns.
Not owning benchmark stock, Kite Pharma, Inc. (“KITE”), a cancer immunotherapy company, detracted value during the period. Shares soared following the announcement that Gilead Sciences, Inc. will be acquiring KITE for $11.9 billion ($180/per share) in an all-cash deal.
An overweight position in wireless connectivity company, Impinj, Inc., detracted from results in the quarter. The company provided weaker

guidance for the next quarter due to slower endpoint sales and increased price pressure.
Key contributors to performance were Trade Desk, Inc., Boise Cascade Co. and Cirrus Logic, Inc.
An overweight position in Trade Desk, Inc., a technology platform for ad buyers, generated alpha during the period. Shares spiked following a well-received first quarter 2018 earnings update which indicated continued strength within its existing customer base as well as new customer wins across all business segments and geographies.
An overweight position in Boise Cascade Co. (“BCC”), a manufacturer and distributor of wood and building products, contributed to performance during the period. Shares advanced following Hurricane Harvey as BCC expected to benefit from home repair activity.
Not owning benchmark stock, Cirrus Logic, Inc. (“CRUS”), a semiconductor company, generated positive results during the year. As part of the smartphone supply chain, CRUS shares declined as iPhone demand weakened. Given its lack of diversification, CRUS was significantly impacted by the smartphone correction in early 2018.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe persistent concerns about trade protectionism and softer economic momentum seem likely to make volatility a long-term feature of the financial markets. Equities have benefited from strong quarterly earnings, though late-cycle fears have muted investor reactions, in our opinion. While it is still possible that profit margins will stabilize in the United States, we think there is more room for improvement in Europe and Japan. We believe we are still in a global environment characterized by synchronous growth in all regions, supported by consumers, corporations and governments, and that the likelihood of a recession over the next 12 months is low.

Voya SMID Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth. The Fund is managed by Joseph Basset, CFA, and James Hasso, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 13.26% compared to the Russell 2500™ Growth Index (the “Index” or “Russell 2500™ Growth”), which returned 23.27% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the year ending May 31, 2018, the Fund underperformed the Index primarily due to stock selection. Stock selection within the software and services and hardware and equipment sectors detracted the most from performance. By contrast, stock selection within the commercial services sector, and to a lesser extent, industrial materials, contributed the most to performance.
Key detractors from performance were AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., Electronics For Imaging, Inc. and Alaska Air Group, Inc.
Owning non-benchmark stock, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., detracted from results during the period. Despite strong performance, strategic initiatives for long-term growth and accretive merger and acquisition activity throughout the year, shares have declined due to a weaker box office and the potential impact that Premium Video on Demand could have on traffic.
An overweight position in hardware and equipment company, Electronics for Imaging, Inc. (“EFII”), detracted from results during the period. Underperformance followed disappointing third quarter 2017 results and lowered fourth quarter 2017 guidance. While its Nozomi product and textile printing business experienced positive growth, shares were under pressure due to a projected decline in EFII’s Fiery business and a slowdown in ceramic and display graphics printing.
An overweight position in Alaska Air Group, Inc. (“ALK”) detracted from performance. The stock fell after the company reported weaker than expected operating results. We believe ALK began losing its legacy Virgin America customers after the airlines merged. We will be exiting the

Fund’s position in ALK.
Key contributors to performance were Boise Cascade Co., Burlington Stores, Inc. and WEX Inc.
An overweight position in Boise Cascade Co. (“BCC”), a manufacturer and distributor of wood and building products, contributed to performance during the period. Shares advanced following Hurricane Harvey as BCC expected to benefit from home repair activity.
An overweight position in apparel and home product retailer, Burlington Stores, Inc. (“BURL”), generated strong results during the period. Shares advanced following better than expected quarterly results throughout the year, despite the negative impact of warm weather trends and hurricanes. BURL further benefited from U.S. corporate tax reform and a positive holiday sales season.
An overweight position in payment processing and information management solutions company, WEX Inc. (“WEX”), generated positive results. Shares advanced throughout the year following consistently strong quarterly earnings results resulting from healthy trends across all of its business segments. Positive guidance from management further reinforced WEX’s ability to achieve long-term growth and share gains into 2019.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Persistent concerns about trade protectionism and softer economic momentum seem likely to make volatility a long-term feature of the financial markets, in our view. In our opinion, equities have benefited from strong quarterly earnings, though late-cycle fears have muted investor reactions. While it is still possible that profit margins will stabilize in the United States, we think there is more room for improvement in Europe and Japan.

Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return. The Fund is managed by Vincent Costa, CFA, Steve Wetter, and Kai Yee Wong, Portfolio Managers*, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 11.77% compared to the Russell 1000® Index (the “Index” or “Russell 1000”), which returned 14.60% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index as low beta, dividend yield and the stock selection model underperformed in a market environment that favored momentum and growth investing styles. On the sector level, Fund holdings within the information technology and real estate had the largest negative impact on performance. By contrast, Fund holdings within the industrial and energy sectors contributed the most to returns. On an individual stock basis, key detractors for the period included not owning benchmark stocks Amazon.com, Inc.

and Netflix, Inc., and an overweight of Philip Morris International Inc. Among the key contributors for the period were not owning benchmark stock General Electric Company, and overweight positions in Valero Energy Corporation and T. Rowe Price Group.
Current Strategy and Outlook: This is an actively managed investment strategy designed to generate higher dividend income and total returns, with lower volatility, than the Index. The investment process first creates a universe of sustainable dividend-paying stocks and utilizes fundamentally driven sector-specific alpha models to identify the most attractive stocks within each sector. The Fund is then optimized to seek to achieve its dividend, maximize prospective alpha and volatility objectives.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018. Each Fund’s expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Voya Equity Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund, Voya Large Cap Value Fund, Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund, Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund, Voya Real Estate Fund, Voya SmallCap Opportunities Fund, Voya SMID Cap Growth Fund (commenced operations December 6, 2016), and Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund (commenced operations December 6, 2016) (the “Funds”), each a series of Voya Equity Trust, including the summary portfolios or portfolios of investments, as of May 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years (or periods since commencement of operations) in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of May 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2018
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end investment management company. The Trust was organized on June 12, 1998 and consists of eight separate active investment series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund (“Large-Cap Growth”), Voya Large Cap Value Fund (“Large Cap Value”), Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund (“MidCap Opportunities”), Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund (“Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value”), Voya Real Estate Fund (“Real Estate”), Voya SmallCap Opportunities Fund (“SmallCap Opportunities”), Voya SMID Cap Growth Fund (“SMID Cap Growth”), and Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund (“U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Fund offers at least one or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I, Class O, Class R, Class R6, and Class W. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees (if any), shareholder servicing fees (if any) and transfer agency fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from a fund pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a fund or a class are charged directly to that fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Funds. Voya Investments has engaged Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”), a Delaware limited liability company, to serve as sub-adviser to certain of the Funds. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Funds.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Each Fund is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Fund is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The data reflected on the consolidated tape provided by the CTA is generated by various market centers, including all securities exchanges, electronic communications networks, and third-market broker-dealers. The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when a Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced and a Fund does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent a Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when a Fund does not price its shares, the value of a Fund’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Fund.
Assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, if such price is not available, at the last sale price as of the Market Close for such security provided by the CTA. Bank loans are valued at the average of the averages of the bid and ask prices provided to an independent loan pricing service by brokers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
When a market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, each Fund will determine a fair value for the relevant asset in accordance with procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”). Such procedures provide, for example, that: (a) Exchange-traded securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask; (b) Debt obligations are valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, benchmark yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data; (c) Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued based on prices provided by independent pricing services or market makers; (d) Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source using an industry accepted model, such as Black-Scholes; (e) Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued using a price provided by the central counterparty clearinghouse; (f) OTC swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (g) Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Such prices from the third party pricing service are for specific settlement periods and each Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent period reported by the independent pricing service; and (h) Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by brokers.
The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which each Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Foreign securities’ (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close. If market quotations are available and believed to be reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. An independent pricing service determines the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of Market Close. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved
degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be valued by the independent pricing service using pricing models designed to estimate likely changes in the values of those securities between the times in which the trading in those securities is substantially completed and Market Close. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining the value of such securities and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures.
All other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable (or if the above fair valuation methods are unavailable or determined to be unreliable) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board following procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated to the Investment Adviser responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Funds’ valuation procedures; a “Pricing Committee” comprised of employees of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates has responsibility for applying the fair valuation methods set forth in the procedures and, if a fair valuation cannot be determined pursuant to the fair valuation methods, determining the fair value of assets held by the Funds. Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine each Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in each Fund.
Each investment asset or liability of a Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the sub-adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
accounting rules. A table summarizing each Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Portfolios of Investments.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. The beginning of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.
B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method and included in interest income.
Real Estate estimates components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. If Real Estate no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1)
Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.
(2)
Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities
which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.
D. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds’ investment strategies permit them to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly, and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.
In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Fund may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:
Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objectives.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that a Fund invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by a Fund through foreign currency exchange transactions.
Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.
Interest Rate Risk. With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this report, market interest rates in the United States are at or near historic lows, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. For a fund that invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest
rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential changes in government policy may affect interest rates.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Funds’ use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market or credit risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market or credit risk factors for securities held by the Funds, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by a Fund. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on a Fund and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investments, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose a Fund to the risk of improper valuation.
Generally, derivatives are sophisticated financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset or assets. Derivatives include, among other things, swap agreements, options, forwards and futures. Investments in derivatives are generally negotiated OTC with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Fund to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.
The U.S. government has enacted legislation that provides for new regulation of the derivatives market, including clearing, margin, reporting, and registration requirements. The European Union is (and other countries outside of the European Union are) implementing similar requirements, which will affect a Fund when it enters into a derivatives transaction with a counterparty organized in that country or otherwise subject to that country’s derivatives regulations. Because these requirements are new and evolving (and some of the rules are not yet final), their ultimate impact remains unclear. Central clearing is expected to reduce counterparty risk and increase liquidity, however, there is no assurance that it will achieve that result, and in the meantime, central clearing and related requirements expose a Fund to new kinds of costs and risks.
E. Forward Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar, generally in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or may use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
There were no open forward foreign currency contracts for any Fund at May 31, 2018.
Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. Each Fund intends to limit its use of futures contracts and futures options to “bona fide hedging” transactions, as such term is defined in applicable regulations, interpretations and practice. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial
margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the year ended May 31, 2018, Large Cap Value had purchased futures contracts on equity indices to “equitize” cash. Futures contracts are purchased to provide immediate market exposure proportionate to the size of the Fund’s respective cash flows and residual cash balances in order to decrease potential tracking error if the cash remained uninvested in the market. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
During the year ended May 31, 2018, Large Cap Value had an average contract amount of $7,642,703 on purchased futures contracts. There were no open futures contracts for any Fund at May 31, 2018.
F. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund declares and pays dividends, if any, as follows:
Annually | | | Quarterly | |
Large-Cap Growth MidCap Opportunities Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value SmallCap Opportunities SMID Cap Growth | | | Large Cap Value Real Estate U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility(1) | |
(1)
Prior to the April 2018 dividend, the Fund declared and paid dividends, if any, annually.
Each Fund distributes capital gains, if any, annually. The Funds may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
G. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expire.
The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain for income tax purposes.
H. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I. Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan securities representing up to 331∕3% of its total assets (except Large-Cap Growth which may temporarily lend up to 30% of its total assets) to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. Securities lending involves two primary risks: “investment risk” and “borrower default risk.” When lending securities, the Funds will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Funds will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Funds will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Funds to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Funds’ other risks.
J. Restricted Securities. Each Fund may invest in restricted securities which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be
publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Restricted securities are fair valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board.
Securities that are not registered for sale to the public under the Securities Act are referred to as “restricted securities.” These securities may be sold in private placement transactions between issuers and their purchasers and may be neither listed on an exchange nor traded in other established markets. Many times these securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. As a result of the absence of a public trading market, the prices of these securities may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to value than publicly traded securities. The price realized from the sale of these securities could be less than the amount originally paid or less than their fair value if they are resold in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, these securities may not be subject to disclosure and other investment protection requirements that are afforded to publicly traded securities. Certain investments may include investment in smaller, less seasoned issuers, which may involve greater risk.
K. Offering Costs. Costs incurred with the offering of shares of a Fund are deferred and amortized over a twelve month period on a straight-line basis starting at the commencement of operations.
L. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Funds have entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Funds. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Funds and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Funds, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. The Board approved a change to reflect that Voya Investments, the Investment Adviser to Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value, may, from time to time, directly manage a portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio. The Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund, at the following annual rates:
Fund | | | As a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets | |
Large-Cap Growth(1) | | | 0.51% on all assets | |
Large Cap Value | | | 0.75% on the first $1 billion; 0.725% on the next $1 billion; 0.70% on the next $1 billion; 0.675% on the next $1 billion; and 0.65% thereafter | |

For the year ended May 31, 2018, the Investment Adviser waived $43,095 in management fees for Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value.

Under the 1940 Act, the direct or indirect beneficial owner of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company (including a fund) is presumed to control such company. Companies under common control (e.g., companies with a common owner of greater than 25% of their respective voting securities) are affiliates under the 1940 Act.
The Investment Adviser may direct the Funds’ sub-advisers to use their best efforts (subject to obtaining best execution of each transaction) to allocate a Fund’s equity security transactions through certain designated broker-dealers. The designated broker-dealer, in turn, will reimburse a portion of the brokerage commissions to pay certain expenses of that Fund. Any amounts credited to the Funds are reflected as brokerage commission recapture in the accompanying Statements of Operations.
The Funds have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Funds. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). The Funds purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Funds’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
The Funds may engage in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser) and/or have a common sub-adviser. These interfund transactions are made pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. For the year ended May 31, 2018, Large-Cap Growth engaged in such transactions totaling $114,530,334 in purchases.

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the Market Close of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Funds indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements.
The cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements that are collateralized at 102% with securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury; U.S. government or any agency, instrumentality or authority of the U.S. government. The securities purchased with cash
collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Securities Lending Collateral.
Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund.
The following table represents a summary of the Fund’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under the Agreement as of May 31, 2018:

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of May 31, 2018:

NOTE 13 — LITIGATION
On September 24, 2012, certain funds, including Large Cap Value Fund (the “Subject Fund”), was officially served and included as a shareholder defendant (“Shareholder
Defendant”) in the matter of Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of the Tribune Company v. FitzSimons, et al., (the “Fitzsimons Action” and/or the “Actual Fraudulent Action”). The Fitzsimons Action is part of the Tribune Company (“Tribune”) Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). In the Fitzsimons Action, the plaintiff alleges that the Tribune Company acted with actual intent to defraud its creditors when it redeemed its shares from shareholders as part of a leveraged buy-out (“LBO”) of the company through which it converted to a privately-held company in 2007, and that those share transfers must now be unwound. To succeed on this claim, the plaintiff must prove that the Tribune Company — not the Subject Fund — acted with actual fraudulent intent when it redeemed its shares. With regard to the Subject Fund, the plaintiff need only show that the Subject Fund tendered its shares as part of the LBO and not on the open market. The Subject Fund’s lack of fraudulent intent in tendering their shares is not a defense to the plaintiff’s actual fraud claim.
In addition to the Fitzsimons Action, various additional actions, which also included the Subject Fund as a defendant, stemming from the same facts and circumstances underlying the Fitzsimons Action, were filed in multiple U.S. District Courts (collectively, the “State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases”). The plaintiffs in the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases allege that these same share redemptions that were part of the LBO were constructively, as opposed to actually, fraudulent. Specifically, those suits assert that the LBO rendered the Tribune Company insolvent, that there was not reasonably equivalent value for the redemptions, and therefore the redemptions are voidable under constructive fraudulent transfer law.
Procedural History of the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases
A motion was filed with the Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) Panel to consolidate the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases for purposes of all pretrial proceedings. On December 19, 2011, the MDL Panel ordered the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases be transferred to the Southern District of New York (the “New York Court”).
On November 6, 2012, the defendant submitted a threshold motion to dismiss the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases, which was granted on September 23, 2013, meaning that the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases cannot go forward unless successfully appealed. Before the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases were dismissed, the threshold for defendants in the case was set at
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 13 — LITIGATION (continued)
$100,000. On December 20, 2013, the plaintiffs in the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases filed their appeal of the motion to dismiss with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Second Circuit”). The Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal on March 24, 2016. In reaching its determination, the Second Circuit held that section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code barred the creditor state-law fraudulent constructive transfer claims, finding that the claims were preempted because they conflict with the purpose of section 546(e). On April 12, 2016, the plaintiffs moved for rehearing en banc in the Second Circuit. On July 22, 2016, the Second Circuit denied the plaintiffs’ motion and the plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court on September 9, 2016. The defendants filed their opposition to the petition on October 24, 2016 to which the plaintiffs filed a reply on November 4, 2016.
On April 3, 2018, the Supreme Court issued a “statement” from two justices announcing that consideration of plaintiffs’ certiorari petition would be deferred for an undetermined period of time to “allow” the Second Circuit Court of Appeals or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to consider, among other things, whether the Court of Appeals March 2016 decision should be vacated in light of Merit Management. On April 10, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a motion in the Court of Appeals asking the Court to vacate its prior decision and remand to the District Court for further proceedings. The shareholder defendants, filed an opposition the motion on April 20, 2018. On April 27, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a reply in support of their motion. On May 15, 2018, the Second Circuit entered an order recalling the mandate “in anticipation of further panel review.” The order does not provide any specific timing for, or guidance on, next steps, but it is possible that the Second Circuit may request additional proceedings on the merits.
Procedural History of the Fitzsimons Action
Similar to the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases, the Fitzsimons Action was transferred to the New York Court for pre-trial purposes. On November 20, 2013, the judge entered an order stating the Fitzsimons Action would remain with the New York Court. On May 23, 2014, a Motion to Dismiss the Fitzsimons Action, as it applies to the Subject Fund, was filed. On July 3, 2014, a reply to the Motion in Opposition was filed. In late September 2015, the Plaintiffs wrote to the judge asking him to lift the current stay on discovery so that they could take written discovery from certain defendants (not the shareholders). On October 15, 2015, the judge denied the Plaintiffs’ request on the grounds that he “intends to issue opinions resolving several of the pending motions to dismiss shortly.” On
January 6, 2017, the Motion to Dismiss was granted and the Subject Fund is no longer a defendant in the Fitzsimons Action. The plaintiffs may appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Because of a procedural issue, the plaintiff cannot automatically appeal the decision, but must first obtain permission from the judge. On February 1, 2017, the plaintiff sought leave to file a motion for certification of the Motion to Dismiss. On February 23, 2017, the district court issued an order stating that it intends to delay certification of the Motion to Dismiss until certain other pending motions to dismiss (not involving the Shareholder Defendants) are resolved. As of June 14, 2018, the District Court had not yet ruled on the other pending motions to dismiss.
On July 18, 2017, the plaintiff sought permission from the district court to file a motion seeking leave to amend its complaint to include a constructive fraudulent transfer claim. On July 28, 2017, the Shareholder Defendants, including the Subject Fund acting through counsel submitted a letter opposing the plaintiff’s request on the grounds that additional amendments at this late date would prejudice the Shareholder Defendants and result in undue delay in resolving the case. On August 24, 2017, the District Court denied the request without prejudice. On March 8, 2018, the Trustee renewed his request to amend his complaint to add a constructive fraudulent transfer claim. On March 13, 2018, counsel for a number of shareholder defendants (including counsel for the Subject Fund) filed an opposition. On June 18, 2018, the District Court entered an order staying any decision on the Trustee’s request on the grounds that it will be preferable to hold off until there is a further ruling from the Second Circuit in the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases. The District Court also instructed the parties to file a joint letter indicating their views on proceeding with efforts to try to achieve a global resolution of the case. On July 9, 2018, the parties submitted a joint letter which voiced general support for a broad based mediation effort. The District Court has not yet responded to the parties’ submission.
Potential Exposure
For the Subject Fund, if the plaintiffs obtain further review of the dismissal of the Fitzsimons Action or the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases, and the decision is ultimately overturned, the potential exposure of the Subject Fund is the value of all shares sold in conjunction with the LBO transaction (i.e., $1,258,340).
The Subject Fund believes the claims raised in the actions are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.
At May 31, 2018, the aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments at year end were:

| (e)(1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures |
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY
I. Statement of Principles
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or Trustees (the “Committee”) of the Voya funds (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”) set out on Exhibit A to this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (“Policy”) is responsible for the oversight of the work of the Funds’ independent auditors. As part of its responsibilities, the Committee must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the auditors in order to assure that the provision of these services does not impair the auditors’ independence from the Funds. The Committee has adopted, and the Board has ratified, this Policy, which sets out the procedures and conditions under which the services of the independent auditors may be pre-approved.
Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules promulgated in accordance with the Act, the Funds may establish two different approaches to pre-approving audit and non-audit services. The Committee may approve services without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approval”) or it may pre-approve specific services (“specific pre-approval”). The Committee believes that the combination of these approaches contemplated in this Policy results in an effective and efficient method for pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Funds’ independent auditors. Under this Policy, services that are not of a type that may receive general pre-approval require specific pre-approval by the Committee. Any proposed services that exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require the Committee’s specific pre-approval.
For both types of approval, the Committee considers whether the subject services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and that such services are compatible with maintaining the auditors independence. The Committee also considers whether a particular audit firm is in the best position to provide effective and efficient services to the Funds. Reasons that the auditors are in the best position include the auditors’ familiarity with the Funds’ business, personnel, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the services will enhance the Funds’ ability to manage and control risk or improve audit quality. Such factors will be considered as a whole, with no one factor being determinative.
The appendices attached to this Policy describe the audit, audit-related, tax-related, and other services that have the Committee’s general pre-approval. For any service that has been approved through general pre-approval, the general pre-approval will remain in place for a period 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditors without specific pre-approval. The Committee will revise the list of services subject to general pre-approval as appropriate. This Policy does not serve as a delegation to Fund management of the Committee’s duty to pre-approve services performed by the Funds’ independent auditors.
II. Audit Services
The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the Committee’s specific pre-approval. Audit services are those services that are normally provided by auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements or those that generally only independent auditors can reasonably provide. They include the Funds’ annual financial statement audit and procedures that the independent auditors must perform in order to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements (e.g., information systems and procedural reviews and testing). The Committee will monitor the audit services engagement and approve any changes in terms, conditions or fees deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate.
The Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services, such as statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or issued in connection with securities offerings.
The Committee has pre-approved the audit services listed on Appendix A. The Committee must specifically approve all audit services not listed on Appendix A.
III. Audit-related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of the Funds’ financial statements or are traditionally performed by the independent auditors. The Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services will not impair the independent auditors’ independence, and therefore may grant pre-approval to audit-related services. Audit-related services include accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services;” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures relating to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR.
The Committee has pre-approved the audit-related services listed on Appendix B. The Committee must specifically approve all audit-related services not listed on Appendix B.
IV. Tax Services
The Committee believes the independent auditors can provide tax services to the Funds, including tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, without compromising the auditors’ independence. Therefore, the Committee may grant general pre-approval with respect to tax services historically provided by the Funds’ independent auditors that do not, in the Committee’s view, impair auditor independence and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
The Committee will not grant pre-approval if the independent auditors initially recommends a transaction the sole business purpose of which is tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Committee may consult outside counsel to determine that tax planning and reporting positions are consistent with this Policy.
The Committee has pre-approved the tax-related services listed on Appendix C. The Committee must specifically approve all tax-related services not listed on Appendix C.
V. Other Services
The Committee believes it may grant approval of non-audit services that are permissible services for independent auditors to a Fund. The Committee has determined to grant general pre-approval to other services that it believes are routine and recurring, do not impair auditor independence, and are consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence.
The Committee has pre-approved the non-audit services listed on Appendix D. The Committee must specifically approve all non-audit services not listed on Appendix D.
A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this Policy as Appendix E. The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these impermissible services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the SEC’s prohibitions.
VI. Pre-approval of Fee levels and Budgeted Amounts
The Committee will annually establish pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for audit, audit-related, tax and non-audit services to be provided to the Funds by the independent auditors. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts require the Committee’s specific pre-approval. The Committee considers fees for audit and non-audit services when deciding whether to pre-approve services. The Committee may determine, for a pre-approval period of 12 months, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for the Fund’s audit, audit-related, and tax services (including fees for services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services for the Fund classified as other services (including any such services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval).
VII. Procedures
Requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditors will be submitted to management. If management determines that the services do not fall within those services generally pre-approved by the Committee and set out in the appendices to these procedures, management will submit the services to the Committee or its delagee. Any such submission will include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the Committee will, on a quarterly basis, receive from the independent auditors a list of services provided for the previous calendar quarter on a cumulative basis by the auditors during the Pre-Approval Period.
VIII. Delegation
The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of the Committee’s members. Any member or members to whom such pre-approval authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions, including any pre-approved services, to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will identify any member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated in writing. The member will retain such authority for a period of 12 months from the date of pre-approval unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The period of delegated authority may be terminated by the Committee or at the option of the member.
IX. Additional Requirements
The Committee will take any measures the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to oversee the work of the independent auditors and to assure the auditors’ independence from the Funds. This may include reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditors delineating all relationships between the auditors and the Funds, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the auditors their methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
Part of KPMG’s performance of an audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (US) includes their responsibility to maintain and monitor auditor independence with respect to the Voya funds. Using a proprietary system called Sentinel, the audit team is able to identify and manage potential conflicts of interest across the member firms of the KPMG International Network and prevent the provision of prohibited services to the Voya entities that would impair KPMG independence with the respect to the Voya funds. KPMG requests pre-approval from the Voya funds Audit Committee for services provided to the Voya funds and for services to affiliated entities that relate to the financial reporting or nature of operations of the Voya Funds. Additionally, KPMG provides an annual summary of the fees for services that have commenced for Voya funds and Affiliates.

Voya Equity Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund, Voya Large Cap Value Fund, Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund, Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund, Voya SmallCap Opportunities Fund, Voya SMID Cap Growth Fund (commencement of operations December 6, 2016), and Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund (commencement of operations December 6, 2016), (the “Funds”), each a series of Voya Equity Trust, including the summary portfolios of investments, as of May 31, 2018, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years (or periods since commencement of operations) in the two-year period then ended and the related notes (collectively, the "financial statements"), the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended (the financial statements and financial highlights are included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR), and the portfolios of investments as of May 31, 2018 (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR). In our opinion, the financial statements, financial highlights, and portfolios of investments referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of May 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements, financial highlights, and portfolios of investments are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, financial highlights, and portfolios of investments based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, financial highlights, and portfolios of investments are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, financial highlights, and portfolios of investments, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, financial highlights, and portfolios of investments. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
