Setting Sail for the New Year
Dear Shareholder,
Recent economic and geopolitical developments have given investors reasons to be cautious as we head towards year-end. The investment implications of this environment will be with us for a while as the markets vacillate between views of a soft landing and a recession. Plenty of concerns remain and markets will be collecting, weighing and balancing the data, as they always do.
Though we believe the economic background seems supportive, the financial markets have been turbulent as investors struggle with risks of slowing global growth and corporate earnings in 2019, the prospect of higher interest rates from the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the ongoing uncertainties of U.S. trade relations and geopolitical tensions.
As we look ahead to 2019, we expect economic and earnings growth to slow but not stall. By most measures, the economy looks quite strong, in our opinion. Inflation is at the Fed’s target level, the unemployment rate stands at multi-decade lows, manufacturing activity is robust and consumer spending has been resilient. In our view, recession risks still appear low in the United States, the euro zone and Japan. We believe that emerging markets growth potentially could remain at current levels or accelerate a bit.
We do not think investors should view current conditions as a reason to alter their long-term investment strategies. In our view, it is not advisable to abandon diversified positions seeking to sidestep impending risks, or to crowd into areas of strong returns to seek to avoid losses. Instead, we believe investors should continue to spread their exposure across multiple asset classes, sectors and regions, to mitigate concentration risk. In our view, the best response remains to have a plan, diversify and carefully discuss any contemplated portfolio changes with your financial advisor.
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: Six Months Ended November 30, 2018
As our new fiscal year commenced, the market turmoil in early 2018 was still fresh in the memory. Global equities, in the form of the MSCI World IndexSM (the “Index”) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends, had suffered its first monthly loss in February after 15 consecutive monthly gains. Another loss followed in March and by the end of May, the Index was up a slim 0.95% in 2018. The next four months saw the Index gain 5.6%, led by the U.S., as investors seemed resilient in the face of the worries that had set them back. However, in October the clouds gathered again, markets retreated, and a small, uneven recovery in November left the Index down 0.42% for the fiscal half-year. (The Index returned -1.67% for the six-months ended November 30, 2018, measured in U.S. dollars.)
It had been the prospect of an imminent rise in U.S. interest rates that had roiled markets in February. Then, in March, the White House announced tariffs of 25% on imported steel and 10% on aluminum, which would take effect at the beginning of June.
Concerns about a trade war and rising U.S. interest rates continued throughout the period. After months of threats, the trade war risk was ratcheted up on September 17th when the President announced tariffs of 10% on Chinese imports, including day-to-day consumer goods, valued at some $200 billion. The rate would increase to 25% at the beginning of 2019. The next day, China replied with 5% to 10% tariffs of its own on $60 billion of U.S. exports. Yet investors seemed skeptical that lasting damage would result.
Interest rate concerns were rooted in the ever-strengthening labor market. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) was already committed to policy “normalization”, i.e. a retreat from historically low short-term rates. There was nothing in successive employment reports likely to divert them. The October report announced an unemployment rate of 3.68%, the lowest since 1969. In September, the FOMC raised rates for the third time this year, from 2.00% to 2.25%, with another in December now likely.
The pressure on long-term interest rates, driven by inflationary expectations, was less intense. Accelerating wage growth in a tight labor market should constitute an inflationary threat. Wage growth was edging up, and while the 3.1% year-over-year rate shown in the November employment report was the highest since 2009, it did not seem particularly dangerous. The inflation measure preferred by the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”): core Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation, hovered around the target level of 2.0% without breaking through. But as September ended, the 10-year Treasury yield, unable earlier in 2018 to hold a level above 3%, had done so for nine straight days.
Perhaps it was the speed of rising Treasury yields: 2.88% to 3.23% in 22 days to October 5, which shook investors’ confidence, and Fed Chairman Powell’s remark on October 4 that the federal funds rate was “a long way from neutral”. Commentators increasingly fretted that the best days of global growth and corporate profits were over, and a further deterioration in trade tensions could only weaken both. Growth in Europe and China was declining. In the U.S., the boost from tax cuts and increased government spending would fade. For corporations, costs were rising and the strong dollar was depressing overseas earnings. And the expansion was already the second longest on record.
In U.S. fixed income markets, the Treasury yield curve rose and flattened over the fiscal half-year. In August the excess of the 10-year yield over the two-year shrank to just 0.18%, the lowest in over 11 years and close to yield curve inversion, before ending November at 0.21%. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Barclays Aggregate”) lost 0.30%, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond sub-index 1.25%, amid heavy issuance of BBB paper. But the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index (not a part of the Barclays Aggregate) edged up 0.30%.
U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Index including dividends, rose 3.02%. But this included a 4.85% jump in the last week of November, the largest weekly increase in seven years, fueled by hopes of a breakthrough on trade at the upcoming G20 meetings, and by more soothing language from Chairman Powell on the prospects for rate increases. The earnings per share of constituent companies grew by about 25% year-over-year in the first three quarters of 2018, the most since 2010. Health care was the top performer, up 16.27%. Energy was the weakest sector, down 11.57%, the price of a barrel of oil having fallen by about one third since early October.
In currencies, the dollar rose 3.30% against the euro, 4.29% against the pound and 4.36% against the yen. From mid-April, after sustained weakness, dollar strength returned, as strong U.S. economic data increasingly left the rest of the world behind.
International markets had been shaken by the upsurge in volatility in early 2018 and were again in October on the concerns described above. MSCI Japan® Index fell 2.92% for the fiscal half-year, after a 9% slump in October. This market is sensitive to slowing global growth, particularly in China and its own vulnerability to a trade war. MSCI Europe ex UK® Index dropped 4.84%. Political worries resurfaced in Italy with the election of a high-spending populist government, to add to those caused by cooling economic indicators and threats to global trade. MSCI UK® Index slumped 6.87%. Pessimism about the Brexit outcome and global growth, together with falling oil prices hit the financials, energy and materials sectors. Specific weakness in one heavily weighted consumer staples constituent added to the losses.

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 six-month period ended November 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 2.97% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Index” or “Russell 1000® Growth”), which returned 1.43% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund outperformed the Index for the reporting period primarily due to stock selection. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors contributed the most to performance. Stock selection within the financials and communication services sectors detracted the most from performance.
Key contributors to performance include Facebook, Inc. (“FB”), NVIDIA Corporation (“NVDA”) and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (“TMO”).
An underweight position in FB generated favorable results during the period. FB started the third quarter 2018 down on concerns of slowing user growth in light of the negative press surrounding Cambridge Analytica. Shares were also negatively impacted by third quarter 2018 revenue and earnings-per-share results that missed expectations. The miss was attributed to sequentially decelerated revenues, driven in part by privacy concerns as well as European GDPR compliance. Furthermore, FB guided to operating margins substantially lower than consensus. We believe the declining operating margin as well as the decelerating revenues implies a significant earnings reduction over the next few years.
Not owning benchmark stock, NVDA, contributed to performance during the period. Following a multi-year period of significant outperformance, shares underperformed considerably as a high beta/high multiple member of an overall weakening semiconductor subsector. It also increased concerns on near term supply/demand dynamics driven by cryptocurrency weakness.
An overweight position in TMO contributed to performance during the period. Shares benefited from solid earnings and sales results due to favorable macro trends and strong end markets for its products and services. What’s more, despite a less favorable foreign exchange environment, management raised top and bottom-line fiscal year guidance which further increased investor confidence.

Key detractors from performance were Microchip Technology Incorporated (“MCHP”), Broadcom Inc. (“AVGO”) and XPO Logistics, Inc. (“XPO”).
An overweight position in MCHP detracted from performance during the period. Shares traded down as negative sentiment regarding trade tensions and slowing growth pressured the sector as a whole. Additionally, while MCHP exceeded earnings and forward guidance expectations, outsized below-the-line benefits and management’s disclosure of a substantial inventory overhang at the recently acquired Microsemi Corporation outweighed upside to consensus estimates.
An underweight position in AVGO detracted value during the period. Shares declined following the announced intention to acquire software maker CA Technologies for $18 billion without providing further detail or hosting an investor call. We believe this sparked immediate concerns about the long-term mergers and acquisition strategy and the sustainability of the core business. In our view, it also introduced significant skepticism towards a management team, which heretofore had been viewed as best-in-class operators and acquirers. The move contradicted very recent communications regarding future deal sizes, and ran contrary to the management’s commitment to a renewed focus on organic growth and shareholder returns post the failed Qualcomm hostile takeover.
An overweight position in transportation and logistics company, XPO, detracted from performance during the period. In addition to investor concerns regarding C-suite departures, a mixed third quarter 2018 earnings report pressured the stock. While guidance was largely in-line, a $15 million write-off resulting from the bankruptcy of a small contract logistics customer, weighed on EBITDA expectations into fiscal year 2018.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe the U.S. economy is currently in the later stages of the economic cycle. With macro-related concerns on the rise (i.e. trade wars, rising rates, fears of a slowing economy, etc.), market sentiment is mixed and uncertain as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has cautiously taken steps toward a normalized interest rate environment. While the health of U.S. corporations remains intact, as evidenced by significant amounts of free cash flow, active dividend increases and share buybacks, we believe record high incremental margins are at peak. As a disciplined manager, we remain true to our investment process regardless of the unpredictable market environment, investing in companies with strong fundamentals and what we believe to be attractive relative valuations.

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 six-month period ended November 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 1.65% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “Index” or “Russell 1000® Value”), which returned 3.48% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed the Index for the reporting period due to unfavorable stock selection. On the sector level, stock selection within the consumer discretionary and financial sectors had the largest negative impact on performance. By contrast, stock selection was strongest within the information technology and communication services sector.
Key detractors from performance were Halliburton Company (“HAL”), BWX Technologies, Inc. (“BWXT”) and Lam Research Corporation (“LRCX”).
An overweight position in HAL, an oilfield services and equipment company, detracted value. Shares of HAL declined as investor concern grew over the slowdown of North America pressure pumping activity and greater than anticipated competitive pressures. While management provided optimistic commentary for 2019, it is our view that investors believe the next several quarters may prove more challenging. Consequently, we exited the stock in November.
An out-of-benchmark position in BWXT, an aerospace and defense company that engages in the supply and provision of nuclear components and products, underperformed for the period. Shares of BWXT sold off after the company reported third quarter 2018 results that missed expectations on both the top and bottom line. This was due to missile tube welding issues and after management reduced its 2018 non-GAAP earnings-per-share guidance.
Owning an out-of-benchmark position in LRCX, a semiconductor manufacturing equipment and service company, led to underperformance for the reporting period. Weakening memory chip prices created a pause in equipment spending, negatively affecting LRCX, which resulted in the company reducing its first quarter 2019 outlook. What’s more, it is our view that investors fear further cuts until the memory market reaches supply demand balance. We subsequently sold out of the stock in September 2018 as our concern grew about the demand outlook for memory heading into 2019, which would delay a recovery in equipment spending.
Key contributors to performance were Pfizer Inc. (“PFE”), General Electric Company (“GE”) and Verizon Communications Inc. (“VZ”).

| Pfizer, Inc. | | | 4.4% | |

| Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. | | | 2.5% | |
| Comcast Corp. – Class A | | | 2.5% | |
| Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily. | |
An overweight position in PFE contributed to performance for the period. PFE’s outperformance was led by a solid second quarter 2018 as the company outlined its focus on improving organic growth prospects, coupled with a broader investor rotation into the U.S. pharmaceutical group. PFE’s well-diversified revenue base, late stage pipeline developments and dividend yield has, we believe, garnered more investor interest as the company positions itself for growth reacceleration following a period of significant patent expirations.
Not owning benchmark stock GE, an industrials conglomerate, contributed to relative performance. The stock sold out following a string of disappointing earnings. In an analyst call, management highlighted operating challenges GE faced, specifically, its power and capital units in the second quarter of 2018 followed by a significant profit miss, driven by power and renewables, in the third quarter of 2018. What’s more, the company drastically cut its quarterly dividend from $0.12/share to $0.01/share. It is our opinion that investors remain skeptical that GE will be able to meet full year expectations and believe these challenges will persist.
An overweight position in VZ, a wireless communications products and services company, contributed to performance for the reporting period. Following signs of improving fundamentals, the company reported a string of earnings that exceeded analyst expectations. Performance was driven by strong momentum in wireless growth, expense reductions and the preparation for the release of 5G networks.
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’s strategy 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 six-month period ended November 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of -0.83% compared to the Russell Midcap® Growth Index and the Russell Midcap® Index, which returned -0.23% and -0.68%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Net of fees and expenses, the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index for the reporting period. Gross of those fees and expenses, the Fund slightly outperformed its primary benchmark. Stock selection within the information technology and industrials sectors detracted the greatest value. Stock selection within the consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors contributed to performance during the period.
Key detractors from performance were Huntsman Corporation (“HUN”), LogMeIn, Inc. (“LOGM”) and Lam Research Corporation (“LRCX”).
An overweight position in HUN, a company that manufactures chemicals for the plastics, automotive and construction industries, detracted from results during the period. While end market demand for methylene diphenyl isocyanate (“MDI”) components remained strong throughout the year, customer destocking ahead of MDI price declines (driven by WTI/Brent price weakness) and the delay in the company’s monetization of its Venator Materials stake weighed on the share price.
An overweight position in LOGM, a software and services company that provides remote access/support and collaboration solutions between internet-enabled devices, detracted from results during the period. Shares sold off in late July following a disappointing earnings report that cited a second quarter billings miss and lowered earnings guidance. In particular, it is our view that investor concerns were heightened after greater competition in the industry led to increased churn of customers within LOGM’s collaboration business.
An overweight position in LRCX, a semiconductor manufacturing equipment and service company, detracted from results during the period. The stock underperformed as concerns around supply/demand imbalances in memory began to materialize. This caused reductions in capital equipment spending

as memory manufacturers work to slow supply growth. We believe this memory concern has expanded into a broader and significant pullback in the semiconductor space, as investors view the supply imbalance in memory as a leading indicator of a cyclical peak.
Key contributors to performance were Exact Sciences Corporation (“EXAS”), Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (“LYV”) and Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“MSI”).
An overweight position in EXAS, a molecular diagnostics company focused on the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer, generated strong results. Shares advanced following the announcement of a three-year co-promotion agreement with Pfizer Inc. on Cologuard. Given the size of Pfizer’s primary care salesforce in the United States, we believe EXAS’s Cologuard appears well positioned to deliver strong revenue growth and margin expansion.
An overweight position in LYV, an entertainment company that engages in producing, marketing and selling live concerts for artists via its global concert pipeline, contributed to performance. The stock was rewarded following its strong third quarter 2018 earnings report, which indicated an adjusted operating income well ahead of Wall Street expectations. LYV is also benefiting from positive macro trends with ticket sales, higher per fan spending and optimized pricing as continuing tailwinds.
An overweight position in MSI generated positive results. Shares advanced due to continued investor confidence in MSI’s execution on growth and margin initiatives, diminishing concerns on competitiveness of LTE-based FirstNet and increased understanding on the opportunity for MSI in emergency call taking systems.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe the U.S. economy is currently in the later stages of the economic cycle. With macro-related concerns on the rise (i.e. trade wars, rising rates, fears of a slowing economy, etc.), market sentiment is mixed and uncertain as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has cautiously taken steps toward a normalized interest rate environment. While the health of U.S. corporations remains intact, as evidenced by significant amounts of free cash flow, active dividend increases and share buybacks, we believe record high incremental margins are at peak. As a disciplined manager, we remain true to our investment process regardless of the unpredictable market environment, investing in companies with strong fundamentals and what we believe to be attractive relative valuations.

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: John D. Schaeffer and Michael Whitfield, CFA, 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 Gregory J. Garabedian and James N. Mordy, Portfolio Managers of Wellington**.
Performance: For the six-month period ended November 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of -5.09% compared to the Russell Midcap® Value Index (the “Index” or “Russell Midcap® Value”), which returned-1.06%, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Hahn Capital Management Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the Russell Midcap
® Value by approximately 310 basis points (-3.10%) for the six-months ended November 30, 2018. During the period, the Sleeve’s performance benefited from its exposure to the information technology and healthcare sectors, offset by underperformance in consumer discretionary, financials, energy and industrial sectors. The dominant reason for the Sleeve’s underperformance was unfavorable stock selection

partially offset by sector selection. Detracting from performance were declines in PVH Corp., Mohawk Industries, East West Bancorp, and Pioneer Natural Resources. The best stock performance came from Euronet Worldwide, Becton Dickinson, Agilent and Ross Stores. More generally, the underperformance reflected company-specific factors as well as certain macro factors (e.g., interest rates increases and oil price declines), while the positive contributions reflected company-specific demand and operational execution strength. We continue to be mindful of risks to Sleeve holdings and believe ongoing attention to high-quality companies is the right strategy no matter the environment.
LSV Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the Russell Midcap® Value by approximately 491 basis points (-4.91%) for the six-months ended November 30, 2018. With an increase in market volatility, investors favored more defensive stocks as the consumer staples, health care, utilities, and real estate sectors posted solid gains in the Russell Midcap® Value Index. The largest sector laggards were energy and materials as commodity prices weakened including oil prices which peaked in early October before falling amid concerns over excess supply and slowing global demand. Financials also struggled with a flattening yield curve while the technology sector came under pressure after posting a strong first half of the year.
While value stocks struggled across the broader midcap market, deeper value stocks which the Sleeve emphasizes underperformed within the Russell Midcap® Value Index. As a result, stock selection results detracted from Sleeve performance overall, but most notably within the energy, materials and technology sectors. The Sleeve’s sector positioning, which is a residual of our model’s bottom-up stock selection process, also detracted from relative performance over the period, primarily due to the underweight in utilities and real estate stocks.
At the security level, the largest detractors included Sleeve positions in Huntsman, Valero Energy, ACCO Brands, Western Digital, Lear Corp, and SRC Energy. The largest stock contributors included Sleeve positions in HCA Healthcare, Medical Properties Trust, United Continental, Kroger, Cooper Tire & Rubber, and Exelon.
Wellington Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the Russell Midcap® Value by approximately 369 basis points (-3.69%) for the six-months ended November 30, 2018. Both sector allocation and security selection detracted from relative performance for the period. Selection within the materials, industrials, and financials sectors weighed most on relative returns. These effects were only
Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Report |
partially offset by favorable selection in the utilities, real estate, and consumer staples sectors. Sector allocation, a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, also detracted from returns during the period. In particular, underweight exposure to the utilities sector and overweight exposure to the materials sector detracted most from relative returns; an underweight to consumer discretionary had a positive effect, as did the Sleeve’s allocation to communication services during in the period.
Top detractors from relative performance included US-based oil company Newfield Exploration (energy), plastics manufacturer and distributor Milacron (industrials), and oil and natural gas exploration and production company Laredo Petroleum (energy). Newfield Exploration was eliminated from the Sleeve during the period. Top contributors to relative performance included insurance company Jardine Lloyd Thompson (financials), energy distribution company UGI (utilities), and consumer packaged goods holding company Post Holdings (consumer staples). Jardine Lloyd Thompson was eliminated from the Sleeve during the period.
Current Strategy & Outlook: Hahn Capital Management Sleeve — We continue to expect volatility to normalize (at a level higher than we have seen over the past few years) as the tailwinds of economic growth driven by tax reform, rising incomes and employment meet the headwinds of higher interest rates (both short- and long-term) as well as (potentially more) trade tariffs. As 2018 winds down, investors are assessing the 2019 earnings growth outlook and the potential for recession on the horizon. As it stands, we believe the market should reflect a lower level of earnings growth in 2019 after the tax reformed-boosted level of growth this year.
LSV Sleeve — The Sleeve remains diversified across sectors and continues to trade at a significant discount to the overall market as well as to Index. Current valuations are 10 times forward earnings estimates and 6 times trailing cash flow compared to 15 times earnings and 10 times cash flow for the Index. The Sleeve also has a dividend yield of 2.9% compared to 2.3% for the Index. 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 information technology, materials, and industrials sectors, while the largest underweights were consumer discretionary, utilities, and health care.

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 six-month period ended November 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 4.71% compared to the MSCI U.S. REIT® Index (the “Index” or “MSCI U.S. REIT®”), which returned 7.25%, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: U.S. real estate stocks, as measured by the Index, generated a 7.25% total return over the past six-months as all property sectors were positive, with the exception of the hotel sector. The healthcare, residential, mall and net lease sectors all delivered returns in excess of 10% during the period, while the hotel, office, technology and storage sectors underperformed.
Despite recent volatility in equity markets, we believe the macro-economic backdrop remains supportive of real estate earnings and valuations globally, with continued economic growth and moderate pressure on inflation. Earnings releases from real estate companies have supported this view.
We believe solid economic growth and modestly increasing inflation should benefit real estate stocks looking forward. The economic outlook is solid, in our view, and this should have a positive impact on commercial and listed real estate companies. Economic growth continues with modest pressure on inflation in an economic expansion, which continues to have durability at this point of an extended cycle.
Monetary policy has tightened in certain markets, including the U.S., U.K. and Canada, but remains more accommodative elsewhere. We expect the U.S. Federal Reserve Board to tighten monetary policy further in response to continued favorable economic growth. We belive total return among property companies will be generated by 4% earnings growth and 4% dividend yield with stable multiples. With real estate companies trading at a discount to our estimate of inherent real estate value, we

believe real estate stocks remain attractively priced relative to private real estate and competing asset classes.
During the period, the Fund lagged the benchmark primarily as the result of stock selection. The relative underperformance of holdings in the healthcare sector accounted for about half of the shortfall as several healthcare REITs with high dividend yields but underlying tenant issues outperformed. We believe this to be a temporary phenomenon given tenant credit concerns as well as expectations of sub-par earnings growth. Fund holdings in the office, technology and residential sectors also detracted from relative performance, more than offsetting the value added by positive stock selection in the shopping center, industrial and hotel sectors. From a sector allocation standpoint, underweight exposure to the outperforming healthcare and net lease sectors hurt performance and overshadowed the value added from positioning decisions in the hotel, residential and office sectors during the period.
Current Strategy & Outlook: We are positive on property types and markets with valuations that we believe are attractive relative to their growth. We favor the technology, residential, self-storage and class-A mall companies. Within residential, we like manufactured housing, single family home-for-rent companies and apartment REITs, which are benefitting from firming demand, particularly in the coastal markets. We are cautious and selective in markets and property types that seem expensive relative to the rate of earnings growth. This includes the lodging, net lease, healthcare, shopping center and office sectors.

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 six-month period ended November 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of -7.80% compared to the Russell 2000® Growth Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which returned -5.66% and -5.53%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index x due primarily to stock selection. Stock selection within the consumer services and pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors detracted the most from performance. Stock selection within the healthcare equipment and services and consumer durables sectors contributed the greatest value.
Key detractors from performance were Boise Cascade Co. (“BCC”), TopBuild Corp. (“BLD”) and Boyd Gaming Corporation (“BYD”).
An overweight position in BYD, an owner and operator of casino properties across the U.S., detracted from performance during the period. Despite the company’s strong fundamentals further fueled by favorable consumer trends, BYD shares traded down in the midst of the market correction in October/November as investors exited companies which had a greater exposure to leverage.
An overweight position in BCC, a manufacturer and distributor of wood and building products, detracted value during the period. Shares declined due to concerns regarding falling prices for wood products in combination with higher input costs.
An overweight position in BLD, an installer and distributor of insulation products, detracted value during the period. In addition to concerns regarding a potential end to the current housing market cycle, shares were under pressure due to an expected deceleration in new and commercial construction in the second half of 2018 as well as higher input costs.
Key contributors to performance were Amedisys, Inc. (“AMED”), Omnicell, Inc. (“OMCL”) and iRobot Corporation (“IRBT”).
An overweight position in AMED, contributed to performance during the period. Shares advanced throughout the month following the company’s solid quarterly earnings report due to continued strength in its home, health and hospice segments and margin expansion across all business lines. In addition to anticipated organic growth through its traditional Medicare business, AMED is expected to complete an accretive acquisition to

build out its hospice segment.
An overweight position in OMCL, a company that provides automation and business analytics software solutions for patient-centric medication and supply management, contributed to performance during the period. Shares benefited from strong quarterly performance highlighting continued market share gains and solid execution with an anticipated acceleration in large deal flow activity.
An overweight position in IRBT contributed to performance during the period. Shares advanced after the company announced better than expected second quarter 2018 earnings per share and revenue and raised its full-year guidance. Despite increased competition, we believe IRBT is well-positioned for continued market share gains through a combination of a product refreshes and the introduction of new products. To target the higher-end consumer, IRBT launched a new Roomba line that memorizes room layouts. IRBT also launched an entry level product to compete in the more crowded, lower end of the market. In our view, stratifying the consumer base is building investor optimism that IRBT will either maintain or grow share.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to monitor changes occurring globally, actions at central banks and overall economic data. Our Fund positioning has not changed significantly. We seek to remain nimble and continue to focus on quality companies, such as those that, in our opinion, have strong management, solid balance sheets and good cash flow generation capabilities. Going forward, we believe the Fund is well positioned, as we think that investors will continue to focus on companies’ fundamentals due to ongoing economic uncertainty.

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 six-month period ended November 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of -5.26% compared to the Russell 2500™ Growth Index (the “Index” or “Russell 2500™ Growth”), which returned -3.12% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed the Index for the period primarily due to a combination of sector allocation and stock selection. From sector allocation performance suffered from an underweight in the strong Health Care Equipment & Services industry group and an overweight in lagging Materials. At the individual sector level, stock selection within the software and services and semiconductors sectors detracted the most from performance. By contrast, stock selection within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology and consumer durables sectors contributed the greatest value.
Key detractors from performance were Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”), Boise Cascade Co. (“BCC”) and Boyd Gaming Corporation (“BYD”).
An underweight position in semiconductor company AMD detracted from results during the period. Shares advanced throughout the quarter due to strong quarterly results and increased investor confidence in AMD’s ability to execute against rival, Intel Corporation. Intel has experienced multiple setbacks to its technology and product innovation pipeline — encouraging AMD investors of their ability to capture meaningful market share.
An overweight position in BCC, a manufacturer and distributor of wood and building products, detracted value during the period. Shares declined due to concerns regarding falling prices for wood products in combination with higher input costs.
An overweight position in BYD, an owner and operator of casino properties across the U.S., detracted from performance during the period. Despite the company’s strong fundamentals further fueled by favorable consumer trends, BYD shares traded down in the midst of the market correction in October/November as investors exited companies that had a greater exposure to leverage.
Key contributors to performance were iRobot Corporation (“IRBT”), Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (“EEFT”) and PRA Health Sciences, Inc. (“PRAH”).
An overweight position in IRBT contributed to performance during the quarter. Shares advanced following a strong second quarter 2018 quarterly

earnings beat driven by better than expected revenues and earnings per share and a raise in full-year guidance. We believe IRBT products, despite increased competition, are well-positioned for continued market share gains through a combination of a product refresh and the introduction of new products. Specifically, IRBT has introduced enhancements to the existing Roomba product line. To target the higher end consumer, IRBT launched a new Roomba line that memorizes an internal layout. IRBT also launched an entry level product to compete in the more competitive, lower-end of the market.
An overweight position in payment and transaction processing solutions company, EEFT, contributed to performance during the period. Shares advanced following the announcement that Visa Inc. would allow for Dynamic Currency Conversion (“DCC”) on all of its international ATM transactions. We believe as the risk of DCC regulation subsided, investors began to appreciate the substantial growth opportunity and solid balance sheet that EEFT seeks to offer its shareholders.
An overweight position in PRAH contributed to performance during the period. Shares advanced due to consistently strong quarterly earnings results indicating robust bookings growth from its existing business. Furthermore, investors believe that PRAH will benefit from significant synergies from its recently acquired asset, Symphony Health, as well as favorable secular trends.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to monitor changes occurring globally, actions at central banks and overall economic data. Our Fund positioning has not changed significantly. We seek to remain nimble and continue to focus on quality companies, such as those that, in our opinion, have strong managements, solid balance sheets and good cash flow generation capabilities. Going forward, we believe the Fund is well positioned, as we think that investors will continue to focus on companies’ fundamentals due to ongoing economic uncertainty.

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 six-month period ended November 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 3.82% compared to the Russell 1000® Index (the “Index” or “Russell 1000®”), which returned 2.51% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index. In terms of the Fund’s performance, low beta was a significant tailwind, dividend yield outperformed and the stock selection model detracted value. On the sector level, holdings within the information technology and communication services sectors had the largest positive impact on performance. By contrast, portfolio holdings within the real estate sector detracted the most value. At the individual stock level, key

contributors for the period were not owning benchmark positions in Facebook, Inc., General Electric Company and NVIDIA Corporation. Key detractors for the period were overweight positions in Western Digital Corporation and Valero Energy Corporation, and not holding benchmark stock, Merck & Co., Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: This is an actively managed investment strategy designed to generate higher dividend income and total returns, with lower volatility and better downside capture, 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 maximize prospective alpha and achieve its dividend 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 June 1, 2018 to November 30, 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.

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 P3, 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 November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (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 November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (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.
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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. The Funds’ derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Funds intend to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that they believe to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, the Funds generally enter into master netting arrangements, established within the Funds’ International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by the Funds and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.
The Funds may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate credit risk associated with OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from the Funds is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.
As of November 30, 2018, the maximum amount of loss that Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value would incur if the
counterparty to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $54 on open forward foreign currency contracts. No cash collateral was pledged by any counterparty to Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value as of November 30, 2018.
The Funds have credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Funds. Credit related contingent features are established between the Funds and their derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Funds will not fulfill their payment obligations to their counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Fund’s net assets and/or a percentage decrease in a Fund’s NAV, which could cause a Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within the Funds’ Master Agreements.
Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value had a liability position of $10 on open forward foreign currency contracts with credit related contingent features. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of November 30, 2018, Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value did not post any cash collateral as of November 30, 2018.
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.
During the period ended November 30, 2018, Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value had an outstanding contract amount on forward foreign currency contracts to sell of $52,432. Please refer to the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open forwards foreign currency contracts at November 30, 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”
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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. 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.
There were no open futures contracts for any Fund at November 30, 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 | | | Large Cap Value | |
MidCap Opportunities | | | Real Estate | |
Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value | | | U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility | |
SmallCap Opportunities | | | | |
SMID Cap Growth | | | | |
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.
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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 1933 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.

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 | | | 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 | |
MidCap Opportunities | | | 0.85% on the first $500 million; 0.80% on the next $400 million; 0.75% on the next $450 million; and 0.70% thereafter | |
Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value(1) | | | 0.80% on all assets | |
Real Estate | | | 0.80% on all assets | |
SmallCap Opportunities | | | 1.00% on first $250 million; 0.90% on next $250 million; 0.85% on next $250 million; and 0.82% thereafter | |
SMID Cap Growth | | | 0.85% on all assets | |
U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility | | | 0.45% on all assets | |
(1)
On September 14, 2018, the Board approved a management fee waiver for Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value. Effective October 1, 2018, the Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% of the management fee. Any fees waived or reimbursed are not eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board. This waiver replaces the management fee waiver in connection with the sub-advisory fee reduction.
The Investment Adviser contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fee for Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value, which was effective in connection with a sub-advisory fee reduction that occurred on February 10, 2014. The waiver was calculated as follows: waiver = 50% x (former sub-advisory fee rate minus new sub-advisory fee rate) x average daily net assets as of the calculation date. For the period ended November 30, 2018, the Investment Adviser waived $14,577 in management fees for Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value. Effective October 1,
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES (continued)
2018, the Investment Adviser is no longer obligated to waive a portion of the management fee for Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value based on the sub-advisory fee reduction. The termination of this obligation was approved by the Board on September 14, 2018 and replaced by a contractual management fee waiver.
The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with each respective sub-adviser. These sub-advisers provide investment advice for certain Funds and are paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of the respective Funds. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, each sub-adviser manages each respective Fund’s assets in accordance with that Fund’s investment objectives, polices, and limitations. The sub-adviser of each Fund is as follows (*denotes an affiliated sub-adviser):
Fund | | | Sub-Adviser | |
Large-Cap Growth | | | Voya Investment Management Co. LLC* | |
Large Cap Value | | | Voya Investment Management Co. LLC* | |

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Each share class of the Funds (except as noted below) has a plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”), whereby the Distributor is reimbursed or compensated (depending on the class of shares) by the Funds for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month to reimburse or compensate expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor.

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 period ended November 30, 2018, Large-Cap Growth engaged in such transactions totaling $160,053,110 in purchases.
NOTE 7 — OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES
As of November 30, 2018, the below Funds had the following payables included in Other Accrued Expenses and Liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities that exceeded 5% of total liabilities:
Fund | | | Accrued Expense | | | Amount | |

NOTE 9 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective May 18, 2018, each Fund, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, has entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through May 17, 2019. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of a Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to May 18, 2018, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through May 18, 2018.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance.
The following Funds utilized the line of credit during the period ended November 30, 2018:

Commencement of operations.
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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)
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 November 30, 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.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:
| | | Six Months Ended November 30, 2018 | | | Year Ended May 31, 2018 | |

The Funds’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.
As of November 30, 2018, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2013.

NOTE 13 — LITIGATION
On September 24, 2012, certain funds, including Large Cap Value Fund (the “Subject Fund”), were officially served and included as shareholder defendants 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 (a litigation trustee appointed by the Bankruptcy Court, the “Trustee”) alleges that Tribune 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 Trustee must prove that Tribune — not the Subject Fund — acted with actual fraudulent intent when it redeemed its shares. With regard to the Subject Fund, the Trustee 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 its shares is not a defense to the Trustee’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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 13 — LITIGATION (continued)
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 Tribune 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 to be transferred to the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”).
On September 23, 2013, the District Court dismissed the claims against the shareholder defendants, holding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to pursue the claims so long as the Trustee in the FitzSimons Action maintained the actual fraudulent transfer claims in the FitzSimons case against the same shareholders.
On December 20, 2013, the plaintiffs appealed the decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Second Circuit”). The Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal on March 24, 2016. The Second Circuit held that Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code barred the 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; the motion was subsequently denied. The plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court on September 9, 2016. The shareholder defendants filed their opposition on October 24, 2016, to which the plaintiffs filed a reply on November 4, 2016.
On February 27, 2018, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Merit Management Group v. FTI Consulting (“Merit Management”). 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 or the District Court to consider, among other things, whether the Second Circuit’s March 2016 decision should be vacated in light of Merit Management. On April 10, 2018, the plaintiffs asked the Second Circuit to vacate its prior decision and remand to the District Court for further proceedings. The shareholder defendants, filed
an opposition on April 20, 2018. 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 District Court for pre-trial purposes. On November 20, 2013, the judge entered an order stating the FitzSimons Action would remain with the District Court. On January 6, 2017, the District Court dismissed the actual fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants without leave to replead and the Subject Fund is no longer a defendant in the FitzSimons Action. Because of a procedural issue, the Trustee cannot automatically appeal the decision, but must first obtain permission from the District Court. On February 1, 2017, the Trustee 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 intended to delay certification of the Motion to Dismiss until certain other pending motions to dismiss (not involving the shareholder defendants) were resolved.
On December 1, 2018, the FitzSimons Action (along with all other Tribune cases still pending in the District Court) were reassigned from Judge Richard Sullivan to Judge Denise Cote. On December 3, 2018, Judge Sullivan granted motions to dismiss brought by certain Tribune directors and officers. This decision does not directly impact the shareholder defendants, and because his granting of a motion to dismiss does not resolve all of the motions, it did not facilitate an appeal of the dismissal of claims against the shareholder defendants (which was issued almost two years ago).
On December 17, 2018, the Trustee filed a motion for reconsideration of Judge Sullivan’s decision. While the Trustee’s motion for reconsideration does not directly impact the claims against shareholder defendants, it does contain allegations regarding Tribune’s insolvency at step one of the LBO and asserts that step one and step two of the LBO should be “collapsed” and not treated as distinct transactions. If adopted, the Trustee’s positions would be unhelpful to the shareholder defendants.
On July 18, 2017, the Trustee sought permission from the District Court to file a motion seeking leave to amend its complaint to include a constructive fraudulent transfer claim based on the anticipated ruling in Merit Management. On July 28, 2017, the shareholder defendants (including the Subject Fund acting through
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 13 — LITIGATION (continued)
counsel) submitted a letter opposing the Trustee’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, but noted that affirmance of Merit Management would give the Trustee a strong argument that he should be allowed to amend his complaint. On March 8, 2018, the Trustee renewed his request to amend his complaint to add a constructive fraudulent transfer claim in light of the Merit Management decision. 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 seek 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 to discuss these cases 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 these actions are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Other Financial Instruments may include open forward foreign currency contracts, futures, centrally cleared swaps, OTC swaps and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts, futures and centrally cleared swaps are valued at the unrealized gain (loss) on the instrument. OTC swaps and written options are valued at the fair value of the instrument.
#
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.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT Management Contracts AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on November 16, 2018, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf 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, and Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund, each a series of the Trust (the “Funds”), and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts”) with the sub-adviser(s) to each Fund (each, a “Sub-Adviser”) for an additional one year period ending November 30, 2019. In determining to renew such contracts, the Board considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other matters.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2018, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of personnel representing the Manager or Sub-Advisers (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 11, 2018, and November 14, 2018, specifically to review and consider materials related to the proposed continuance of each Management Contract and each Sub-Advisory Contract that they believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Management Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts in light of the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment. Subsequent references herein to factors considered and determinations made by the Independent Trustees and/or the Board include, as applicable, factors considered and determinations made at those meetings by the Independent Trustees. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.
The Board follows a process pursuant to which it seeks and considers relevant information when it evaluates whether to renew existing investment management and sub-advisory contracts for the Voya funds. The Board has established a Contracts Committee and Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts
Committee provides oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process, and each IRC provides oversight throughout the year regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers, with respect to each Voya fund that is assigned to that IRC.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”). The Methodology Guide sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Fund (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Fund’s particular attributes, such as fund type and size, fund category (as determined by Morningstar, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data (“Morningstar”)), sales channels and structure, and the Fund share class being compared to the Selected Peer Group; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data including, but not limited to, investment performance, fee structure, and expense information prepared in connection with the renewal process.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Management Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was overarching, and each Board member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Fund’s investment management and sub-advisory arrangements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Funds, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds as set forth in the Management Contracts, including oversight of the Funds’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” platform of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and regulatory compliance of the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Funds under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing oversight and due diligence with respect to the sub-advisers and to advocate or recommend, when it believes appropriate, changes in investment strategies or investment sub-advisers designed to assist in improving a Voya fund’s performance. The Board was advised that, in connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group which reviews, among other matters, performance data, each Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to each Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and the Sub-Advisers are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund are consistently complied with, and other periodic reports covering related matters.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Advisers to the Funds and the level of resources committed to the Funds (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Funds.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and each Sub-Adviser under the Management Contracts and respective Sub-Advisory Contracts were appropriate.
Fund Performance
In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of each Fund, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Fund’s Morningstar category and primary
benchmark, a broad-based securities market index that appears in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing separate analyses of each Fund’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers as a Fund grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted any breakpoints in management fee schedules that will result in a lower management fee rate when a Fund achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. The Board also considered that, while some of the Funds do not have management fee breakpoints, they have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager or the Sub-Advisers could be shared with each Fund through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. In evaluating these matters, the Independent Trustees also considered periodic management reports, Selected Peer Group comparisons, and industry information regarding economies of scale. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from a Fund, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or the Sub-Advisers, as applicable, for these differences. For the non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers, the Board viewed the information related to any material differences in the fee schedules as not being a key factor in its deliberations because of the arm’s-length nature of negotiations between the Manager and non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to sub-advisory fee schedules.
Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
payable by each Fund to the Manager compared to the Fund’s Selected Peer Group. In addition, the Board considered Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund’s contractual management fee schedule compared to an additional peer group of funds that a business channel of the Manager identified as direct competitors. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Fund, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to each Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered any fee waivers, expense limitations, and/or recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Funds, including whether the Manager intends to propose any changes thereto. For each Fund, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to each Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.
For each Fund, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated service providers in connection with services they render to a Fund, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each Fund both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Funds and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager. The Board did not request profitability data from the Sub-Advisers that are not affiliated with the Manager because the Board did not view this data as being a key factor to its deliberations given the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between the Manager and these non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory fee schedules. In addition, the Board noted that non-Voya-affiliated sub-advisers may not account for their profits on an account-by-account basis and those that do typically employ different methodologies in connection with these calculations.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager
and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Funds’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Fund in determining profitability, and that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all risks, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks, associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment.
The Board also considered that the Manager is entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that it provides to the Funds. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Advisers and their respective affiliates from their association with the Funds, including their ability to engage in soft-dollar transactions on behalf of the Funds. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Funds and the Manager and Sub-Advisers’ potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions reached, at its October 11, 2018, November 14, 2018, and/or November 16, 2018 meetings in relation to approving each Fund’s Management Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. In each case, the Fund’s performance was compared to its Morningstar category, as well as its primary benchmark.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF NEW SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides that an investment company, such as Voya Equity Trust (“VET”), can enter into a new sub-advisory contract, on behalf of Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), a series of VET, only if the Board of Trustees of VET (the “Board”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the Fund’s sub-advisory contract, and who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approve the new arrangement.
At a special telephonic meeting held on August 3, 2018, the Board considered a proposal by management that Voya Investments, LLC (“VIL” or the “Adviser”) enter into an interim sub-advisory agreement between VIL, on behalf of the Fund, and Hahn Capital Management, LLC (“Hahn Capital”) (the “Interim Agreement”). The Board was asked to consider the Interim Agreement because a change of control of Hahn Capital automatically terminated the prior sub-advisory agreement between VIL, on behalf of the Fund, and Hahn Capital (the “Prior Agreement”). The Interim Agreement was approved in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act. The Interim Agreement had an effective date of July 15, 2018 and was permitted to continue for up to 150 days from that date.
At a meeting held on September 14, 2018, the Board considered a proposal by management that VIL enter into a new sub-advisory agreement between VIL, on behalf of the Fund, and Hahn Capital (the “New Agreement”). The Board was asked to consider the New Agreement because the Interim Agreement would expire 150 days from its date of effectiveness. Discussed below are certain factors that the Board considered at its meetings held on August 3, 2018 and on September 14, 2018 in determining whether to approve the Interim Agreement and New Agreement, respectively.
The catalyst for Hahn Capital’s change of control was the transfer of a controlling block of Hahn Capital’s outstanding voting securities. More particularly, the Fund is subject to the 1940 Act, which provides that any sub-advisory agreement for a fund must terminate automatically upon its “assignment.” As used in the 1940 Act, the term assignment includes any transfer of a controlling block of outstanding voting securities of an adviser or the parent company of the adviser. On July 15, 2018, Elaine Hahn, former President and CIO of Hahn, passed away. Ms. Hahn owned a majority interest in Hahn Capital until her death, at which time: (1) Ms. Hahn’s economic interest in Hahn Capital passed to her estate; and (2) her voting interest in Hahn Capital was reallocated
to the remaining partners in Hahn Capital. These events resulted in the change of control of Hahn Capital and an “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Prior Agreement, thereby causing the Prior Agreement to automatically terminate.
In light of the foregoing: (1) at its special meeting held on August 3, 2018, the Board approved the Interim Agreement, which replaced the Prior Agreement; and (2) at its in-person meeting on September 14, 2018, the Board approved the New Agreement, which replaced the Interim Agreement. The decision by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, to approve the Interim and New Agreements was based on a determination by the Board that it would be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund for Hahn Capital to continue providing uninterrupted sub-advisory services for the Fund.
To inform its determinations of whether to approve the Interim Agreement and the New Agreement, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed decision of whether each of the Interim and New Agreements should be approved. The materials provided to the Board in support of the Interim and New Agreements included the following: (1) information that Hahn Capital provided to the Board in response to inquiries from K&L Gates LLP (“K&L Gates”), counsel to the Independent Trustees, in anticipation of the Board’s 2018 annual renewal considerations with respect to the Prior Agreement; (2) information provided in response to K&L Gates’ inquiries in connection with the Board’s consideration of the Interim and New Agreements; (3) memoranda presenting management’s rationale for requesting that the Board approve the Interim and New Agreements and for management’s conclusion that implementing the Interim and New Agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders; (4) in support of the New Agreement, management’s memorandum to an investment committee of the Board discussing the portfolio manager change whereby Mr. Whitfield became a co-portfolio manager to the Fund, replacing Ms. Hahn upon her retirement from Hahn Capital, effective July 1, 2018, and management’s continued confidence in the Fund’s portfolio management team; (5) supporting documentation, including copies of the forms of Interim Agreement and New Agreement; (6) in support of the New Agreement, Hahn Capital’s presentation to an investment committee of the Board during that committee’s September 14, 2018 meeting; (7) a memorandum from legal counsel for Hahn Capital, discussing the circumstances underlying the change of control; (8) written representations from Hahn Capital stating that: (a) the change of control would not have any impact on or diminution in the services that Hahn Capital
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
provides to the Fund, (b) the same portfolio management team, comprised of Messrs. Schaeffer and Whitfield, that managed the Fund immediately prior to the change of control would continue to manage the Fund if the Interim Agreement and New Agreement were implemented, (c) Hahn Capital did not anticipate any adverse consequences in its ability to provide quality services to the Fund as a consequence of the change of control, (d) the change of control would not have any impact on Hahn Capital’s finances and resources, including resources available to provide sub-advisory services to the Fund, and (e) Hahn Capital had agreed to pay the reasonable costs to implement the Interim and New Agreements, including legal expenses and Board meeting fees; (9) the presentation from the VET’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding his due diligence review of Hahn Capital; and (10) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation. The Board also considered its approval of the Interim Agreement at its August 3, 2018 meeting in approving the New Agreement. In addition, the Board considered the information provided periodically throughout the year in presentations to the Board by the Adviser in the context of the Adviser’s oversight and management of Hahn Capital, as well as other funds in the Voya funds complex.
In reviewing the proposed Interim and New Agreements, the Board considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the Adviser’s view of Hahn Capital and its sub-advisory services; (2) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Hahn Capital under the Prior Agreement, and to be provided under the Interim and New Agreements, including that Hahn Capital’s portion of the Fund had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Value Index, during the one-year, three-year, and since inception periods ended March 31, 2018; (3) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of Hahn Capital and its fit with the other sub-advisers to the Fund; (4) the fairness of the compensation under each of the Interim and New Agreements in light of the services to be provided by Hahn Capital as one of the Fund’s sub-advisers, which the Board noted had been negotiated at arms-length by the Adviser and Hahn Capital; (5) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to Hahn Capital, together with Hahn Capital’s
representation that such fee rate was consistent with the fee rates paid by other comparable accounts to which Hahn Capital provides comparable services; (6) the potential fall-out benefits to Hahn Capital and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund, including its ability to engage in soft-dollar transactions; (7) Hahn Capital’s representation that it did not expect to experience economies of scale in providing sub-advisory services to the Fund; (8) Hahn Capital’s operations and compliance program, including its policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws; and (9) the appropriateness of the continued engagement of Hahn Capital as a sub-adviser to the Fund in light of the Fund’s investment objective and investor base.
The Board did not request or consider profitability data from Hahn Capital, which is not affiliated with the Adviser, because the Board did not view this data as being a key factor to its deliberations given the arm’s length nature of the relationship between the Adviser and Hahn Capital with respect to the negotiation of the sub-advisory fee schedule.
Based on the foregoing and other relevant considerations: (1) at a special telephonic meeting held on August 3, 2018, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Interim Agreement; and (2) at an in-person meeting of the Board held on September 14, 2018, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the New Agreement. In this connection, the Board concluded that, in light of all factors considered, the terms of the Interim Agreement and New Agreement, including the fee rate schedule for each agreement, were fair and reasonable, and each of the Interim and New Agreements should be approved so as to enable the continuation, without interruption, of the services being provided by Hahn Capital to the Fund. The Board noted that no one factor was determinative of its decisions which, instead, were premised upon the totality of factors considered. The Board also noted that different Board members likely placed emphasis on different factors in reaching their individual conclusions to vote in favor of the Interim Agreement and New Agreement.
