Global Economy Still on Road to Recovery
Dear Shareholder,
The reporting period covered in this report roughly coincides with the progress made in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. With the development of vaccines in the fall of 2020, the world began to turn the tables on the virus. It became possible to relax the aggressive countermeasures that shut down the global economy and turned so many lives inside out. Economic progress in 2021 has closely paralleled progress in getting populations vaccinated. Although infection from new viral variants remains a threat, many nations including the United States have not reimposed lockdowns, and global economic momentum is continuing. Broadening business activity has intensified supply and demand imbalances, pressuring prices higher. While we’re likely to see a higher base rate of inflation, we do not believe that the U.S. Federal Reserve Board will have to dramatically raise interest rates to stave it off.
While the economy and financial markets appear to be upholding their recent strength and in our opinion are expected to continue doing so this year, it’s always possible that something unexpected could crop up. Therefore, in our view, it bears repeating that one should invest to achieve one’s long-term goals, and not seek to beat the market today, this week, this month or this year. Keep focused on your long-term goals and don’t get distracted by short-term news, however compelling the headlines. Should your long-term goals change, discuss the situation thoroughly with your investment advisor before making any changes to your investment portfolio.
Regardless of events, at Voya we believe that we remain well prepared for and fully committed to serving our clients without disruption. We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
Sincerely,

Dina Santoro
President
Voya Family of Funds

The views expressed in the President’s Letter reflect those of the President as of the date of the letter. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Voya mutual funds disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and because investment decisions for a Voya mutual fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of investment intent on behalf of any Voya mutual fund. Reference to specific company securities should not be construed as recommendations or investment advice.
International investing poses special risks including currency fluctuation, economic and political risks not found in investments that are solely domestic.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio 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 January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021. The Portfolios’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any charges which are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract, variable life insurance policy, qualified pension, or retirement plan. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Portfolio’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 a Portfolio 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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Investors Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 3, 1988. Voya Investors Trust currently consists of twenty-two active separate investment series. The one series included in this report is: VY® BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio (“BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond”), a diversified series of Voya Investors Trust.
Voya Variable Insurance Trust is registered under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 15, 1999. Voya Variable Insurance Trust consists of one active investment series which is included in this report: VY® BrandywineGLOBAL — Bond Portfolio (“Bond Portfolio”), a diversified series of Voya Variable Insurance Trust.
Voya Investors Trust and Voya Variable Insurance Trust are collectively referred to as the “Trusts.” BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond and Bond Portfolio are each, a “Portfolio” and together, the “Portfolios.” The investment objective of the Portfolios is described in each Portfolio’s Prospectus.
The classes of shares included in this report for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond are: Adviser (“Class ADV”), Institutional (“Class I”), and Service (“Class S”). With the exception of class specific matters, each class has equal voting rights as to voting privileges. For class specific proposals, only the applicable class would have voting privileges. The classes differ principally in the applicable distribution and shareholder service fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/losses from a portfolio pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio or a class are charged directly to that portfolio or class. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios 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 service fees, if any, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any. Bond Portfolio does not have a share class designation.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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, if applicable, of each Portfolio 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 Portfolio is calculated by taking the value of the Portfolio’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Portfolio’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when a Portfolio is closed for business, Portfolio shares will not be priced and a Portfolio does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent a Portfolio’s assets are traded in other markets on days when a Portfolio does not price its shares, the value of a Portfolio’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Portfolio.
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
8
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
When a market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, each Portfolio will determine a fair value for the relevant asset in accordance with procedures adopted by the Portfolios’ Boards 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 an independent pricing service; (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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio 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 Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios. 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio.
Each investment asset or liability of the Portfolios 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
9
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
“Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the sub-advisers’ 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 accounting rules. A table summarizing the Portfolios’ investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio 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. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when a Portfolio 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 Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Portfolios 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 rates of exchange 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 Portfolios do not isolate the portion of their 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 Statement
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 Portfolios’ 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. Distributions to Shareholders. Net investment income dividends and net capital gain distributions, if any, for Bond Portfolio are declared and paid annually. For BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly and distributions of net capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Portfolios 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.
E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio 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 its 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 Portfolios’ 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.
The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
F. 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.
G. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Portfolios’ investment strategies permit the Portfolios 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, a Portfolio will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow a Portfolio to pursue its objectives more quickly, and efficiently than if it 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 Portfolio 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 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 Portfolio to achieve its investment objectives.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that a Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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, the United States experiences a low interest rate environment, which may increase a Portfolio’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. A Portfolio’s 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 a Portfolio is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market or credit risk factors for securities held by a Portfolio, 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
11

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by a Portfolio. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on a Portfolio and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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.
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 a Portfolio. Each Portfolio’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. A Portfolio intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, a Portfolio has entered into master netting arrangements, established within each Portfolio’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These Master Agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered
into by a Portfolio 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.
A Portfolio may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate counterparty credit risk on 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 a Portfolio 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.
At June 30, 2021, the maximum amount of loss that BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $2,484,804 which represents the gross payments to be received by the Portfolio on OTC purchased options, forward foreign currency contracts, and OTC interest rate swaps were they to be unwound as of June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had received $1,080,000 in cash collateral from certain counterparties.
Each Portfolio has credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivative counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from a Portfolio. Credit related contingent features are established between a Portfolio and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that a Portfolio will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s net assets and/or a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s NAV, which could cause a Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within each Portfolio’s Master Agreements.
At June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had a liability position of $1,142,109 on forward foreign currency contracts and OTC written options with credit related contingent features. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of June 30, 2021, the Portfolio could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. At June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond pledged $140,000 in cash collateral for its open OTC derivative transactions.
H. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. A Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily
12
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward foreign currency contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and a Portfolio’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. These instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates. Open forward foreign currency contracts are presented within the Portfolio of Investments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into forward foreign currency contracts with the obligation to buy and sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to increase or decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolio uses forward foreign currency contracts primarily to protect any non-U.S. dollar-denominated holdings from adverse currency movements and to gain exposure to currencies for the purposes of risk management or enhanced return.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had average contract amounts of $60,131,033 and $22,119,125 on forward foreign currency contracts purchased and sold, respectively. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2021.
I. Futures Contracts. Each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Each Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts. Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when a Portfolio’s assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an
amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and included within Cash collateral for futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Open futures contracts are reported on a table within the Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are footnoted in the Portfolio of Investments. Cash collateral held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where a Portfolio 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 a Portfolio’s securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond and Bond Portfolio had purchased and sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes as part of their duration strategy. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the following Portfolios had average notional values on futures contracts purchased and sold as disclosed below:
| | Purchased | | | Sold | |
---|
BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond | | $65,633,436 | | | $53,917,748 | |
Bond Portfolio | | — | | | 34,309,386 | |
Please refer to the tables within each respective Portfolio of Investments for the above Portfolios’ open futures contracts at June 30, 2021.
At June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had pledged U.S. Treasuries with an original par value of $279,000 as collateral for open futures contracts.
J. Options Contracts. The Portfolios may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Portfolios may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure.
13
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. An amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolios upon the writing of a put or call option is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability which is subsequently marked-to-market until it is exercised or closed, or it expires. The Portfolios will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a covered call option is that a Portfolio gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that a Portfolio may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that a Portfolio pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had purchased and written exchange-traded futures contracts to manage its duration strategy and to generate income. BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had average notional values of $23,300,232 and $21,782,331, respectively, on purchased and written exchange-traded futures contracts. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open purchased and written options on exchange-traded futures contracts at June 30, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had purchased and written interest rate swap options (“swaptions”) to manage its duration strategy and to generate income. BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had average notional values of $54,948,765 and $181,142,341, respectively, on purchased and written interest rate swaptions. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open purchased and written interest rate swaptions at June 30, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had purchased foreign currency options to manage its foreign exchange exposure and to generate income. BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had average notional values of $737,016 on purchased foreign currency options. Please refer to the tables within the
Portfolio of Investments for open purchased foreign currency options at June 30, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had purchased and written inflation rate caps to gain exposure to interest rates and generate income as disclosed below. There were no purchased and written inflation rate caps at June 30, 2021.
| | Purchased | | | Written | |
---|
Inflation rate caps | | $17,550,000 | | | $17,550,000 | |
K. Swap Agreements. The Portfolios may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”).
The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. Subsequent changes in market value, if any, are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. The Portfolios may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and currency swaps to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. All outstanding swap agreements are reported within the Portfolio of Investments.
Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from third party pricing services, counterparties or brokers. The value of the swap contract is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by a Portfolio when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are included as a component in the realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A Portfolio also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations.
14
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and a Portfolio’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. A Portfolio is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a Portfolio is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are footnoted as pledged on the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.
Entering into swap agreements involves the risk that the maximum potential loss of an investment exceeds the current value of the investment as reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap involves the agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One payment will be based on a floating rate of a specified interest rate while the other will be a fixed rate. Risks involve the future fluctuations of interest rates in which a Portfolio may make payments that are greater than what a Portfolio received from the counterparty. Other risks include credit, liquidity and market risk.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into interest rate swaps in which they pay a floating interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (“Long interest rate swap”) in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amount on long interest rate swaps for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond was $47,037,218.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into interest rate swaps in which they pay a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate (“Short interest rate swap”) in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional
amount on short interest rate swaps for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond was $67,256,496.
The Portfolios enter into interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures and to substitute for physical fixed-income securities. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond for open interest rate swaps at June 30, 2021.
At June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond pledged $4,162,490 in cash collateral for open centrally cleared swaps.
Inflation-linked Swap Contracts. In an inflation-linked swap, one party pays a fixed interest rate on a notional amount while the other party pays a floating rate linked to an inflation index on that same notional amount. The party paying the floating rate pays the inflation adjusted rate multiplied by the notional amount.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into inflation-linked swaps in which they pay a floating rate linked to an inflation index and receive a fixed interest rate (“Long inflation-linked swap”). Average notional amount on long inflation-linked swaps for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond was $30,724,235.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into inflation-linked swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating rate linked to an inflation index (“Short inflation-linked swap”). Average notional amount on short inflation linked-bonds was $150,626,014.
BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond used inflation-linked swaps as part of their inflation strategy. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond for open inflation-linked swaps at June 30, 2021.
L. Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included in interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of US Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do
15
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
M. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio may temporarily loan up to 33 1/3% 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 Portfolios will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Portfolios 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 Portfolios. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Portfolios to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Portfolios’ other risks.
N. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Portfolios may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trusts’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sales of securities, excluding U.S. government and short-term securities were as follows:

Bond Portfolio | | 104,250,427 | | | 9,619,422 | |
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Portfolios have entered into investment management agreements (“Management Agreements”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall
responsibility for the management of the Portfolios. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment management and portfolio management services for the Portfolios and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Portfolios, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. Each Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, at the following annual rates:
Portfolio | | Fee |
---|
BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond(1) | | 0.55% on the first $200 million; 0.50% on the next $800 million; and 0.40% thereafter |
Bond Portfolio | | 0.50% on the first $750 million; and 0.48% thereafter |
(1) | | The Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive 0.04% 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. |
The Investment Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with each sub-adviser. These sub-advisers provide investment advice for the Portfolios and are paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, the sub-advisers manage each Portfolio’s assets in accordance with that Portfolio’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
Portfolio | | Sub-Adviser |

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEE
Voya Investors Trust has entered into a shareholder service plan (the “Plan”) for the Class S shares of BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond. The Plan compensates the Distributor for the provision of shareholder services and/or account maintenance services to direct or indirect beneficial owners of Class S shares. Under the Plan, the Portfolio makes payments to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares.
Class ADV shares of BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond have a shareholder service and distribution plan. The Portfolio pays the Distributor a shareholder service fee of 0.25% and a distribution fee of 0.35% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class ADV shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At June 30, 2021, the following direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. or affiliated investment companies owned more than 5% of the following Portfolios:
Subsidiary/Affiliated Investment Company | | Portfolio | | Percentage |
---|
Voya Institutional Trust Company | | BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond | | 17.56 | % |
Voya Solution 2025 Portfolio | | Bond Portfolio | | 18.25 | |
Voya Solution 2035 Portfolio | | Bond Portfolio | | 7.91 | |
Voya Solution Income Portfolio | | Bond Portfolio | | 11.98 | |
The Portfolios 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 Portfolios. 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”). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio 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 Portfolios, and will not materially affect a Portfolio’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
The Portfolios may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the period ended June 30, 2021, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by each Portfolio were as follows:
Portfolio | | Amount | |
BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond | | $38,380 | |
Bond Portfolio | | — | |
NOTE 7 — EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENTS
The Investment Adviser has entered into written expense limitation agreements (“Expense Limitation Agreements”) with the below Portfolios, whereby the Investment Adviser has agreed to limit expenses, excluding interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses,
extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses to the levels listed below:
Portfolio | | Maximum Operating Expense Limit (as a percentage of net assets) |
---|
BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond | | Class ADV: 1.23% Class I: 0.63% Class S: 0.88% |

With the exception of the non-recoupable management fee waiver for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond, the Investment Adviser may, at a later date, recoup from a Portfolio for fees waived and/or other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, a Portfolio’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees net of any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Adviser are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of June 30, 2021, the amounts of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser and the related expiration dates, are as follows:
| | June 30, | | |
| | 2022 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | Total |
Bond Portfolio | | $182,957 | | $— | | $— | | $182,957 |
The Expense Limitation Agreements are contractual through May 1, 2022 and shall renew automatically for one-year terms. Termination or modification of these obligations requires approval by the Board.
NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 14, 2021, the Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, 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 June 13, 2022. 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 Portfolio 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 June 14, 2021, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 14, 2021.

NOTE 10 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with BNY, the Portfolios can lend its securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral must be 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 Market Close of a Portfolio at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to a Portfolio on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The Portfolios bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Portfolios indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral to the extent the cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in cash equivalents, money market funds, repurchase agreements with maturities of not more than 99 days that are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, or certain short-term investments that have a
remaining maturity of 190 days or less (“Permitted Investments”). Short-term investments include: securities, units, shares or other participations in short-term investment funds, pools or trusts; commercial paper, notes, bonds or other debt obligations, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other bank obligations and asset-backed commercial paper backed by diversified receivables and repurchase-backed programs. Permitted Investments are subject to certain guidelines established by the Adviser regarding liquidity, diversification, credit quality and average credit life/duration requirements. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Short-Term Investments.
Generally, in the event of counterparty default, a Portfolio has 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 a Portfolio in the event a Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its 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 portfolio.
At June 30, 2021, the Portfolios did not have any outstanding securities on loan.

NOTE 11 — 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 foreign currency transactions, futures contracts, paydowns, capital loss carryforwards, straddle loss deferrals 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 Portfolios 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:
| | Year Ended December 31, 2020 | | Year Ended December 31, 2019 | |
---|
| | Ordinary Income | | Return of Capital | | Ordinary Income | |

BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond | | $2,872,784 | | $1,558,018 | | $5,983,156 | |
Bond Portfolio | | 7,776,746 | | — | | 3,417,729 | |
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the capital loss carryforwards which may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2020 were:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Capital Loss Carryforwards | |

The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal, Arizona state, and Massachusetts state (BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond).
As of June 30, 2021, no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Portfolios’ 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. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 12 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021, and it remains unclear whether LIBOR will continue to exist after that date and, if so, in what form. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in many major currencies. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board, based on the recommendations of the New York Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee
(comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), has begun publishing a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) that is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication.
Discontinuance of LIBOR and adoption/implementation of alternative rates pose a number of risks, including among others whether any substitute rate will experience the market participation and liquidity necessary to provide a workable substitute for LIBOR; the effect on parties’ existing contractual arrangements, hedging transactions, and investment strategies generally from a conversion
from LIBOR to alternative rates; the effect on a Portfolio’s existing investments (including, for example, fixed-income investments; senior loans; CLOs and CDOs; and derivatives transactions), including the possibility that some of those investments may terminate or their terms may be adjusted to the disadvantage of a Portfolio; and the risk of general market disruption during the period of the conversion. It is difficult to predict at this time the likely impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a Portfolio. On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced a delay in the phase out of a majority of the U.S.

dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications to still end at the end of 2021.
NOTE 13 — LIQUIDITY
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Portfolios have established a liquidity risk management program to govern their approach to managing liquidity risk (the “Program”). The Board has approved the designation of the Portfolios’ Investment Adviser, Voya Investments, as the program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator is responsible for implementing and monitoring the Program and has formed a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”) to assess and review, on an ongoing basis, each Portfolio’s liquidity risk.
The Program includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of liquidity risk factors and the periodic classification (or re-classification, as necessary) of a Portfolio’s investments into buckets (highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid and illiquid) that reflect the Committee’s assessment of the investments’ liquidity under current market conditions. The Committee also utilizes Portfolio-specific data, including information regarding a Portfolio’s shareholder base, characteristics of its investments, access to borrowing arrangements and historical redemptions to determine whether a Portfolio will be able to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner.
During the period covered by the annual assessment, January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Program supported the Portfolios’ ability to honor redemption requests in a timely manner and the Program Administrator’s management of each Portfolio’s liquidity risk, including during any periods of market volatility and net redemptions.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to each Portfolio’s prospectus for more information regarding each Portfolio’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks.
NOTE 14 — MARKET DISRUPTION
A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might
adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. War, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the investments of the portfolio and of the Portfolios. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of the Portfolios’ service providers.
NOTE 15 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04.
