NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Credit Income Fund (the “Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the 1940 Act, as a continuously-offered, diversified, closed-end, management investment company. Effective April 2, 2001, the Fund commenced the offering of Class A and Class C shares to the public. Effective April 15, 2008, the Fund commenced the offering of Class I and Class W shares to the public.
The Fund currently has four classes of shares: A, C, I and W. Class A shares are subject to a sales charge of up to 2.50%. Effective June 30, 2020, Class A shares purchased in excess of $500,000 are not subject to a sales charge but are subject to an EWC of 1.00% if repurchased by the Fund within one year of purchase. Prior to June 30, 2020, Class A shares purchased in excess of $500,000 were not subject to a sales charge but were subject to an EWC of 1.00% if repurchased by the Fund within six months of purchase. Class C shares are subject to an EWC of 1.00% if repurchased by the Fund within one year of purchase.
Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, will automatically convert to Class A shares of the same Fund, after a holding period of 8 years from date of purchase.
To maintain a measure of liquidity, the Fund will offer to repurchase not less than 5% of its outstanding Common Shares on a monthly basis. This is a fundamental policy that cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund may not offer to repurchase more than 25% of its outstanding Common Shares in any calendar quarter. Other than these monthly repurchases, no market for the Fund’s Common Shares is expected to exist. The separate classes of shares differ principally in their distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Differences in the per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the share classes, if any.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Fund. The Investment Adviser has engaged Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to the Fund.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The 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. Senior Loan and Other Security Valuation. The 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 the 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 NAV per share of each class of the 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 the Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced and the Fund does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent the Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of the Fund’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which the Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign securities’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.
When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Fund assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of the Fund’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers,
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
broker-dealers, or the Fund’s sub-adviser(s). 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 an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine the 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 the Fund.
The Fund’s financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date.
Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).
Level 3 — unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value).
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the
fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.
Each investment asset or liability of the 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 accounting rules. A table summarizing the Fund’s 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 the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.
B. Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Security transactions and senior loans are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis at the then-current loan rate. The accrual of interest on loans is partially or fully discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. If determined to be uncollectible, unpaid accrued interest is also written off. Cash collections on non-accrual senior loans are generally applied as a reduction to the recorded investment of the loan. Senior loans are generally returned to accrual status only after all past due amounts have been received and the borrower has demonstrated sustained performance. Premium amortization and discount accretion are deferred and recognized over the lives of the respective loans.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Arrangement fees received on revolving credit facilities, which represent non-refundable fees or purchase discounts associated with the acquisition of loans, are deferred and recognized using the effective yield method over the shorter of four years or the actual term of the loan. No such fees are recognized on loans which have been placed on non-accrual status. Arrangement fees associated with all other loans, except revolving credit facilities, are treated as discounts and are accreted as described above. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to an original senior loan agreement and are recognized when received. Amendment fees and other fees earned are reported as interest income on the Statement of Operations.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund 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 Fund does 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 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 taxes 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 the U.S. government. 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. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a currency forward foreign contract, the Fund 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 the Fund’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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations. These instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement 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 respective Portfolio of Investments.
For the period ended August 31, 2023, the Fund had an average quarterly contract amount on forward foreign currency contracts to sell of $36,020. Please refer to the table within the Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contracts to sell at August 31, 2023.
E. When-Issued Delayed-Delivery. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward purchase commitment basis may have extended settlement periods. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. Due to the nature of the Senior Loan market, the actual settlement date may not be certain at the time of the purchase or sale for some of the Senior Loans. Interest income on such Senior Loans is not accrued until settlement date.
F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Fund 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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
gains to their shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Fund’s 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 Fund may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
G. Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund declares and goes ex-dividend daily and pays dividends monthly from net investment income. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Fund may make additional distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The character and amounts of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital. The Fund records distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date.
During the period ended August 31, 2023, the Fund’s Class A shares distributed total dividends of $0.39, which were all characterized as net investment income, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate of 8.28%. The Fund’s Class C shares distributed total dividends of $0.37, which were all characterized as net investment income, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate of 7.80%. The Fund’s Class I shares, distributed total dividends of $0.41, which was all characterized as net investment income, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate of 8.57%. The Fund’s Class W shares, distributed total dividends of $0.41, which was all characterized as net investment income, resulting in an average annualized distribution rate of 8.52%.
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. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide certain
indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 2023, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from principal repayment and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, totaled $43,948,888 and $41,747,139, respectively. At August 31, 2023, the Fund held senior loans valued at $75,431,528 representing 53.1% of its total investments. The fair value of these assets is established as set forth in Note 2.
The senior loans acquired by the Fund typically take the form of a direct lending relationship with the borrower, and are typically acquired through an assignment of another lender’s interest in a loan. The lead lender in a typical corporate loan syndicate administers the loan and monitors the collateral securing the loan. In the event that the lead lender becomes insolvent, enters Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) receivership or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment, or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.
Warrants and shares of common stock held in the portfolio were acquired in conjunction with loans held by the Fund. Certain of these shares and warrants are restricted and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act, or without an exemption under the 1933 Act. In some cases, these restrictions expire after a designated period of time after the issuance of the shares or warrants.
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Fund. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Fund, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. This Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s Managed Assets. For purposes of the Management Agreement, managed assets (“Managed Assets”) are defined as the Fund’s average daily gross asset value, minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued and unpaid
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES (continued)
dividends on any outstanding Preferred Shares and accrued liabilities (other than liabilities for the principal amount of any borrowings incurred, commercial paper or notes issued by the Fund and the liquidation preference of any outstanding Preferred Shares).
The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Fund and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily Managed Assets of the Fund. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Class A and Class C shares of the Fund have adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, is compensated by the Fund for expenses incurred in the distribution of the Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month for actual expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of the 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 executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the 12b-1 plans, each class of shares of the Fund pays the Distributor a combined Distribution and/or Service Fee based on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
| Class A | | | Class C | |
| 0.25% | | | | | 0.75% | | |
The Distributor may also retain the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares, and the EWC paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions/repurchases for Class A shares and Class C shares. For the period ended August 31, 2023, the Distributor retained the following amounts:
| | | Class A | | | Class C | |
Initial Sales Charges: | | | | $ | 386 | | | | | $ | — | | |
EWC’s: | | | | | — | | | | | | 171 | | |
NOTE 6 — EXPENSE LIMITATIONS
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 following:
Class A — 0.90% of Managed Assets plus 0.45% of average daily net assets
Class C — 0.90% of Managed Assets plus 0.95% of average daily net assets
Class I — 0.90% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets
Class W — 0.90% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets
Pursuant to a side letter agreement through July 1, 2024, the Investment Adviser has further lowered the expense limits to the following. Any fees waived pursuant to the side letter agreement shall not be eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.
Class A — 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.45% of average daily net assets
Class C — 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.95% of average daily net assets
Class I — 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets
Class W — 0.80% of Managed Assets plus 0.20% of average daily net assets
Unless otherwise specified above, the Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from the Fund for fees waived and other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Fund’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees and any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Adviser are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of August 31, 2023, the amount of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to recoupment by the Investment Adviser and the related expiration dates are as follows:
| | | August 31, | | | | | | | | |

The expense limitation agreement is contractual through July 1, 2024 and shall renew automatically for one-year terms. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.
NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS
Effective July 3, 2023, the Fund has entered into a 196-day revolving credit agreement, collateralized by assets of the Fund, to borrow up to $60 million maturing June 28, 2024. Borrowing rates under this agreement are based on a fixed spread over SOFR, and a commitment fee is charged on the unused portion. Prior to July 3, 2023, the predecessor credit agreement was for $75 million maturing July 3, 2023. There was $19.9 million of borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2023. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings at August 31, 2023 was 6.46%, excluding fees related to the unused portion of the facilities, and other fees. The amount of borrowings represented 13.49% of total assets at August 31, 2023. Prepaid arrangement fees are amortized over the term of the agreement. Average borrowings for the period ended August 31, 2023 were $17,244,565 and the average annualized interest rate was 7.37%.
NOTE 8 — SENIOR LOAN COMMITMENTS
As of August 31, 2023, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments pursuant to the terms of the following loan agreements:
| ENC Holding Corporation Delayed Draw Term Loan | | | | $ | 18,253 | | |
| IPS Corporation 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan | | | | | 6,951 | | |
| | | | | $ | 25,204 | | |
NOTE 9 — TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
The Fund has 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 Fund. 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 Fund purchases shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results 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 Statement 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 Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
NOTE 10 — SUBORDINATED LOANS AND UNSECURED LOANS
The primary risk arising from investing in subordinated loans or in unsecured loans is the potential loss in the event of default by the issuer of the loans. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets, measured at the time of investment, in subordinated loans, unsecured debt instruments and other investments, as directed by the Prospectus. As of August 31, 2023, the Fund held no subordinated loans or unsecured loans.

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 foreign currency transactions and wash sale deferrals.
Dividends paid by the Fund 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 February 28, 2023 | | | Year Ended February 28, 2022 | |
| Ordinary Income | | | Ordinary Income | |
| $9,124,140 | | | | $ | 6,676,446 | | |
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 February 28, 2023 were:
| Undistributed Ordinary Income | | | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | | Capital Loss Carryforwards | | | | | | Total Distributable Earnings/(Loss) | |
| Amount | | | Character | | | Expiration | | | Other | |
| $1,835,566 | | | $(10,542,811) | | | $ (11,852,402) | | | Short-term | | | None | | | $(650,464) | | | $(122,510,377) | |
| | | | | | | (101,300,266) | | | Long-term | | | None | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | $(113,152,668) | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Fund’s major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.
As of August 31, 2023, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Fund’s 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 13 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
In 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced its intention to cease compelling banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR after 2021. On March 5, 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, stated that non-U.S. dollar LIBOR reference rates and the one-week and two-month LIBOR reference rates ceased to be provided or no longer be representative immediately after December 31, 2021 and the remaining more commonly used LIBOR settings ceased to be provided or no longer be representative immediately after June 30, 2023. In addition, global regulators have announced that, with limited exceptions, no new LIBOR-based contracts should be entered into after 2021. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies (e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for U.S. Dollar LIBOR and the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate for Sterling LIBOR).
Discontinuance of LIBOR and adoption/implementation of alternative rates pose a number of risks, including among others whether any substitute rate will experience the
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of August 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 13 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”) (continued)
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 the Fund’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 the Fund; 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 the Fund.
NOTE 14 — MARKET DISRUPTION
The Fund 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. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and in the future may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, 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. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of the Fund’s investments, including beyond the Fund’s direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions
are impossible to predict and could be substantial. Those events as well as other changes in foreign (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 Fund’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund’s service providers.
NOTE 15 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the fund’s financial statements.
NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Dividends Declared: Subsequent to August 31, 2023, the Fund declared the following dividends from net investment income:
Class | | | Per Share Amount | | | Declaration Date | | | Record Date | | | Payable Date | | | | |
A | | | $0.06575 | | | Daily | | | Daily | | | October 2, 2023 | | | | |

W | | | $0.06774 | | | Daily | | | Daily | | | October 2, 2023 | | | | |
The Fund has evaluated events occurring after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Other than the above, no such subsequent events were identified.

| Loan ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself. Ratings distribution shows the percentage of the Fund’s loan commitments (excluding cash and foreign cash) that are rated in each ratings category, based upon the categories provided by Standard & Poor. Ratings distribution is based on Standard & Poor’s senior secured facility ratings. The Standard & Poor’s rating scale is as follows, from excellent (high grade) to poor (including default): AAA to D, with intermediate ratings offered at each level between AA and CCC. Anything lower than a BBB-rating is considered a non-investment grade or junk bond. Any security that is not rated by Standard & Poor’s is placed in the NR (Not Rated) category. Ratings can change from time to time, and current ratings may not fully reflect the actual credit condition or risks posed by a loan. | |
| *
Not rated includes loans to non-U.S. borrowers (which are typically unrated) and loans for which the rating has been withdrawn. | |

PROXY VOTING INFORMATION
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies related to portfolio securities is available: (1) without charge, upon request, by calling Shareholder Services tollfree at (800) 992-0180; (2) on the Fund’s website at www.voyainvestments.com; and (3) on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies related to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge on the Fund’s website at www.voyainvestments.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form NPORT-P. The Fund’s Forms NPORT-P are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s complete schedule of portfolio holdings is available on: www.voyainvestments.com and without charge upon request from the Fund by calling Shareholder Services toll-free at (800) 992-0180.
In pursuit of its investment objectives, the Fund may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:
Derivative Risk: 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 the Fund. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on the Fund and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the 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 the Fund to the risk of improper valuation.
Credit Risk: Prices of the Fund’s investments are likely to fall if the actual or perceived financial health of the borrowers on, or issuers of, such investments deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons, or if the borrower or issuer is late (or defaults) in
paying interest or principal. The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in below investment-grade senior loans and other below investment-grade assets. Below investment-grade loans commonly known as high-yielding, high risk investments or as “junk” investments involve a greater risk that borrowers may not make timely payment of the interest and principal due on their loans and are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. They also involve a greater risk that the value of such loans could decline significantly. If borrowers do not make timely payments of the interest due on their loans, the yield on the Fund’s Common Shares will decrease. If borrowers do not make timely payment of the principal due on their loans, or if the value of such loans decreases, the value of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) will decrease.
Interest Rate Risk: Changes in short-term market interest rates will directly affect the yield on Common Shares. If short-term market interest rates fall, the yield on Common Shares will also fall. To the extent that the interest rate spreads on loans in the Fund’s portfolio experience a general decline, the yield on the Common Shares will fall and the value of the Fund’s assets may decrease, which will cause the Fund’s NAV to decrease. Conversely, when short-term market interest rates rise, because of the lag between changes in such short-term rates and the resetting of the floating rates on assets in the Fund’s portfolio, the impact of rising rates will be delayed to the extent of such lag. With respect to investments in fixed rate instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values of such instruments to fall. The values of fixed rate instruments with longer maturities or duration are more sensitive to changes in market interest rates.
As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a rising market interest rate environment, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed income and related markets to heightened volatility which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. If dealer capacity in fixed-income and related markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income and related markets. Further, recent and potential changes in government policy may affect interest rates.
Leverage Risk: The use of leverage through borrowings or the issuance of Preferred Shares can adversely affect the yield on the Common Shares. To the extent that the Fund is unable to invest the proceeds from the use of leverage in assets which pay interest at a rate which exceeds the rate paid on the leverage, the yield on the Common Shares will decrease. In addition, in the event of
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (continued)
a general market decline in the value of assets such as those in which the Fund invests, the effect of that decline will be magnified in the Fund because of the additional assets purchased with the proceeds of the leverage. Further, because the fee paid to the Investment Adviser will be calculated on the basis of Managed Assets, the fee will be higher when leverage is utilized, giving the Investment Adviser an incentive to utilize leverage. The Fund is subject to certain restrictions imposed by lenders to the Fund and may be subject to certain restrictions imposed by guidelines of one or more rating agencies which may issue ratings for debt or the Preferred Shares issued by the Fund. These restrictions are expected to impose asset coverage, fund composition requirements and limits on investment techniques, such as the use of financial derivative products that are more stringent than those
imposed on the Fund by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These restrictions could impede the manager from fully managing the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.
Liquidity Risk: The Fund does not repurchase its shares on a daily basis and no market for the Fund’s Common Shares is expected to exist. To provide a measure of liquidity, the Fund will normally make monthly repurchase offers for not less than 5% of its outstanding Common Shares. If more than 5% of Common Shares are tendered, investors may not be able to completely liquidate their holdings in any one month. Shareholders also will not have liquidity between these monthly repurchase dates.
