Setting Sail for the New Year
Dear Shareholder,
The markets closed out 2018 with a month of tumult — we believe investors became more risk-averse as they assessed the anticipated effects of higher interest rates and slowing corporate earnings, as well as potential economic deceleration in the U.S. and China and trade tensions between the two. There continues to be intense movement in the equity and bond markets, causing a lot of day-to-day volatility for investors to digest.
As we look ahead to 2019, we believe that economic and earnings growth will slow but not stall. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) has signaled that it will be patient about raising interest rates further, which we believe may help ease pressures on the economy and the financial markets. Economic momentum in the U.S. is still above trend growth and the Fed’s gradual approach means a slowdown is likely to unfold over a multi-year period, which should give markets enough time to adjust expectations, in our opinion.
We do not think investors should view current conditions as a reason to alter their long-term investment strategies. In our view, it is not advisable to abandon diversified positions seeking to sidestep impending risks, or to crowd into areas of strong returns to seek to avoid losses. Instead, we believe investors should continue to spread their exposure across multiple asset classes, sectors and regions, to mitigate concentration risk. In our view, the best response remains to have a plan, diversify and carefully discuss any contemplated portfolio changes with your investment advisor.
Voya seeks to remain a reliable partner committed to reliable investing, helping you and your investment advisor achieve your goals. We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
Sincerely,
Dina Santoro

Market Perspective: Year Ended December 31, 2018
In our semi-annual report we described the market turmoil in early 2018. Global equities, in the form of the MSCI World IndexSM (the “Index”) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends, suffered its first monthly loss in February after 15 consecutive monthly gains. Another loss followed in March and by the end of June the Index was up a slim 1.29% in 2018. The next four months saw the Index gain 5.6%, led by the U.S., with sentiment resilient in the face of the worries that had set them back. However, in October the clouds gathered again, markets retreated, and after a small reprieve in November, losses accelerated to leave the Index down 7.38% for the fiscal year. (The Index returned -8.71% for the year ended December 31, 2018, measured in U.S. dollars.)
It had been the prospect of an imminent rise in U.S. interest rates that had roiled markets in February. Then, in March, the White House announced tariffs of 25% on imported steel and 10% on aluminum, which would take effect at the beginning of June.
Concerns about a trade war and rising U.S. interest rates continued throughout the period. After months of threats, the trade war risk was ratcheted up on September 17th when the President announced tariffs of 10% on Chinese imports, including day-to-day consumer goods, valued at some $200 billion. The rate would increase to 25% at the beginning of 2019. The next day, China replied with 5% to 10% tariffs of its own on $60 billion of U.S. exports. In early December, after a face-to-face meeting between President Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, new tariffs were postponed for 90 days while the sides, evidently far apart, held negotiations.
Interest rate concerns were rooted in the ever-strengthening labor market. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) was already committed to policy “normalization”, i.e. a retreat from historically low short-term rates. There was nothing in successive employment reports likely to divert them. The December report announced an unemployment rate of 3.67%, the lowest since 1969.
The latest wage growth figure of 3.1% year-over-year was the highest since 2009, but it did not seem like an inflationary threat. The measure preferred by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”): core Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation, hovered around the target level of 2.0% without breaking through. But as September ended, the 10-year Treasury yield, unable earlier in 2018 to hold a level above 3%, had done so for nine straight days.
Perhaps it was the speed of rising Treasury yields: 2.88% to 3.23% in 22 days to October 5, which shook investors’ confidence, and Fed Chairman Powell’s remark on October 4 that the federal funds rate was “a long way from neutral”. In December, the FOMC raised rates for the fourth time this year, from 2.25% to 2.50%. Markets had hoped that Powell might then signal a pause, to evaluate further data. Instead, he signaled two more increases in 2019.
As 2018 ended, the 10-year Treasury yield was back down to 2.69%. But it provided little comfort. Commentators increasingly fretted that the best days of global growth and corporate profits were over, and a full-blown trade war would only weaken both. Growth in Europe and China was declining. The price of oil was down about 40% since early October. In the U.S., the boost from
tax cuts and increased government spending that had helped propel annualized GDP growth to 4.2% in the second quarter and 3.4% in the third, would fade. The housing market had been weakening for months. For corporations, costs were rising and the strong dollar was depressing overseas earnings. With part of the government shut down through Congressional gridlock, the White House, within a final barrage of tweets, declared, “The only problem our economy has is the Fed.” Happy New Year.
In U.S. fixed income markets, the Treasury yield curve rose and flattened over the fiscal year. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Barclays Aggregate”) gained just 0.01%; the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond sub-index lost 2.51%, amid heavy issuance of BBB paper, while the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index (not a part of the Barclays Aggregate) fell 2.08%. The Bloomberg Barclays Short Treasury Index was among the best performers, gaining 1.88%.
U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Index including dividends, fell 4.38% after the worst December since 1931. The earnings per share of constituent companies grew by about 25% year-over-year in the first three quarters of 2018, the most since 2010, but estimates for 2019 were sharply lower. Health care was the top performer, up 6.47%. Energy was the weakest sector, down 18.10%, as oil prices tumbled.
In currencies, the dollar rose 5.47% against the euro and 5.52% against the pound but lost 2.67% against the yen. From mid-April, after sustained weakness, the dollar powered ahead, as strong U.S. economic data increasingly left the rest of the world behind, only to drift lower in the fraught final days.
International markets were also shaken by the concerns described above. MSCI Japan® Index slumped 15.15% for the year. This market is sensitive to slowing global growth, particularly in China and its own vulnerability to a trade war. MSCI Europe ex UK® Index dropped 11.31%. To add to the dampening effects of faltering economic indicators and threats to global trade, the election of a high-spending populist government in Italy posed a new challenge to the euro itself. MSCI UK® Index fell 8.82%. Pessimism about an increasingly likely no-deal Brexit and global growth hit financials, while weakness in one heavily-weighted consumer staples constituent contributed about 30% of the over-all loss.

Voya Balanced Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks total return consisting of capital appreciation (both realized and unrealized) and current income; the secondary investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio uses an asset allocation strategy (“Strategic Asset Allocation”) to invest in a diversified portfolio of various asset classes and investment strategies. The Portfolio is managed by Christopher F. Corapi, Paul Zemsky, CFA, Barbara Reinhard, CFA, and Matthew Toms, CFA Portfolio Managers* of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of -6.83% compared to the S&P Target Risk® Growth Index, Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, MSCI EAFE® Index and Russell 3000® Index, which returned -5.46%, 0.01%, -13.79% and -5.24%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio started 2018 favoring equities over fixed income, with overweight positions in Japanese and emerging markets (“EM”) equities and underweight to developed international equities and high yield. The Portfolio also maintained its tactical overweight to domestic large growth to reduce the value bias in its strategic allocation.
In January, the Portfolio lowered its REITs position given the asset class’ historically negative beta to interest rates, which were potentially breaking into a higher range. The proceeds from the sale were allocated to U.S. large cap equities.
In March, the Portfolio closed its Japanese equities (U.S. dollar hedged) positions. The supporting thesis, that the Bank of Japan would keep the currency relatively weak, had failed to materialize. As an exporting nation, the strengthening of the yen over the period of the position was a headwind for Japanese equities. Proceeds from the sale were split between U.S. large cap and international equities.
At the end of April, we concluded the annual strategic asset allocation review with the primary allocation shift being an increase in

EM equities funded by lowering the allocation to U.S. mid cap equities.
In June, the Portfolio enacted an underweight position to EM equities, splitting the proceeds between U.S. large cap equities and short duration bonds. At the time of the trade, the valuation of EM equities was not providing sufficient support against a worsening business outlook or renewed political uncertainty in the region.
In July, the Portfolio exited from high yield, reallocating the assets to core U.S. fixed income and short duration bonds. This was a tactical view that represented de-risking fixed income positions, given our views that both the credit and business cycles were in their latter stages.
In September, the Portfolio further reduced its exposure to EM equities in favor of domestic large cap equities. At the time of the trade, EM equities were entrenched in a bear market, having fallen 20% from their most recent peak. Even at those levels we found the valuation to be still in line with its EM’s five-year average and thus capable of moving another leg lower before valuations once again became attractive. On the fundamental side, economic data from China continued to show weakness through the summer, and copper prices and global ISM continued to slip.
We implemented two trades across the Portfolio in October. First, we increased duration in the Portfolio through the purchase of longer-maturity bonds, funded by reducing core U.S. fixed income. Second, we reduced the Portfolio’s exposure to shorter-maturity bonds and allocated the funds into EM equities, lessening our tactical underweight to EM.
Portfolio Managers’ Report | Voya Balanced Portfolio |
In November, the Portfolio reduced its risk exposure, selling equities in favor of core U.S. fixed income. At the time of the trade, fundamental indicators showed the U.S. joining the rest of the world in a growth slowdown. Finally in December — based on concerns about muted future U.S. corporate earnings, continued interest-rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) and the dimming outlook for the Eurozone — we further reduced the Portfolio’s equity exposures by selling U.S. mid cap and developed international equities and reinvesting the proceeds into fixed income.
Overall, tactical asset allocation moves relative to our strategic asset allocation had a positive impact.
Overall, underlying asset classes detracted from performance during the year. The fixed income sleeve and Voya Floating Rate Fund outperformed their respective benchmarks, while core stocks, domestic mid-cap stocks and international equities underperformed.
During the year, the Portfolios utilized derivatives to implement certain tactical positions to avoid significant manager disruption and provide the Portfolios with greater liquidity. Overall, the use of derivatives detracted from performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Risk assets sold off markedly during December, as investors reacted to statements from Federal Reserve officials, which suggested that interest rate hikes would continue apace in 2019. The United States led the charge lower as many global equity markets nursed losses during the year. Among the causes of weakness were economic deceleration in the U.S., weak data from China, trade geopolitics and the ongoing partial U.S. government shutdown. In our view, many indicators that tend to turn first around business cycle peaks are flashing red in several economies. The U.S. Treasury yield curve is flat by many measures; by some, it is inverted: the 12-month Treasury bill yield currently is higher than some other maturities. World trade volumes have slowed further in recent months and December business surveys remained weak in most major economies, in our view. Credit markets have not been immune to weakness. High yield spreads have gapped wider and in the investment grade sector spreads are widening on credit default swaps of some of the highest quality debt issuers. Concerns about covenant-lite issuance have pressured leveraged loans. We believe one of the few perceived “safe havens” have been U.S. Treasuries, as investors sought any port in the storm. Ten-year Treasury yields have declined to 2.68% from a high of 3.24% in early November.
We believe the composition of returns throughout December is noteworthy. The U.S. dollar held surprisingly steady, given the gyrations in U.S. markets. EM equities, while down, fared better than developed markets and the U.S., perhaps because EMs have been under steady pressure since June. We are closely watching the stimulus China has implemented to arrest its economic slowdown — while not yet on the scale seen in early 2016, we think it involves a meaningful number of initiatives. We are looking for a turn in the Chinese data in a few months.
Looking ahead, there is intense movement in the equity and bond markets, creating a lot of day-to-day volatility for investors to digest. This is where we believe that relying on our investment process of evaluating valuations, fundamentals and sentiment is critical. The quantitative data show on most measures equities have de-rated meaningfully over the past 12 months. At 14.5 times forward earnings, the U.S. equity market has not been this inexpensive since late 2013. The difficulty investors have with stepping in to buy at current valuations is an unclear handle on the earnings part of the ratio. Earnings revisions have been falling steadily, but even so, top-down forecasts are for 7% earnings growth in 2019, which looks to be a bit high in our view.
In terms of fundamentals, our models show rising probabilities of recession — not to the levels where one is imminent, but the deceleration in activity due to lapsing fiscal stimulus and Fed rate hikes is in fact biting. One only needs to see the cooling in the housing and auto sectors to observe the effect the rise in short-term rates has delivered over the past year. In our view, we need to see a trough in earnings revisions in the U.S. and globally, and a healing in the credit markets among other factors, to put in a durable bottom to equities. Lastly, investor sentiment is starting to reach oversold readings on a short-term view — but not yet as severely oversold as expected given the damage that has been inflicted on equities.
To be sure, sentiment can be a fickle factor, and there may be a meaningful counter-trend underway — sparked by dovish comments from the Fed. In these types of volatile conditions, to accept the risk of re-entering risk markets, we generally look for signals of adequate return potential from two of the three pillars of our investment process. Therefore, we believe a better clearing price for equities will unfold in the first half of 2019.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of Voya Balanced Portfolio against the indices indicated. An index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio and imposes no sales charges. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.
The Portfolio’s performance is shown without the imposition of any expenses or charges which are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. Total returns would have been lower if such expenses or charges were included.
The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.
The performance shown may include the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Adviser and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.
The performance update illustrates performance for a variable investment option available through a variable
annuity contract or a variable life insurance policy. The performance shown indicates past performance and is not a projection or prediction of future results. Actual investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The Portfolio underperformed due to unfavorable stock selection and sector allocation. Stock selection in information technology, industrials and consumer staples detracted. By contrast, consumer discretionary had the largest positive impact on performance.
May 1, 2018 – December 31, 2018: In terms of the Portfolio’s outperformance since the change of its principal investment strategy on May 1, 2018, low beta was a significant tailwind, dividend yield outperformed and the stock ranking model underperformed. Additionally, the Portfolio’s exposures to stock-specific risk negatively affected relative performance. On the regional level, stock selection was strongest within North America and weakest within Europe. On the sector level, portfolio holdings within the utilities and financials sectors had the largest positive impact on performance. At the individual stock level, overweight positions in Eli

Lilly and Company, AES Corporation and Pfizer Inc. were among the key contributors for the period. By contrast, stock selection within the consumer staples and information technology sectors had the largest negative impact on returns. Key detractors for the period include overweight positions in Royal Mail plc and Convestro AG, and an underweight position in Microsoft Corporation.
Current Strategy and Outlook: This is an actively managed, quantitative global equity strategy designed to generate higher dividend income and total returns, with lower volatility and better downside capture, than the MSCI World. The investment process first seeks to create a universe of sustainable dividend-paying stocks and utilizes fundamentally driven sector-specific alpha models to identify the most attractive stocks within each region-sector. The managers then seek to optimize the Portfolio’s potential to achieve its dividend, alpha and volatility objectives.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of Voya Global Equity Portfolio against the indices indicated. An index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio and imposes no sales charges. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.
The Portfolio’s performance is shown without the imposition of any expenses or charges which are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. Total returns would have been lower if such expenses or charges were included.
The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.
The performance shown may include the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Adviser and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.
The performance update illustrates performance for a variable investment option available through a variable annuity contract or a variable life insurance policy. The performance shown indicates past performance and is not a projection or prediction of future results. Actual investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that shares and/

Voya Government Money Market Portfolio* (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide high current return, consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, through investment in high-quality money market instruments, while maintaining a stable share price of $1.00 per share. The Portfolio is managed by David S. Yealy, Portfolio Manager of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 1.56% compared to the iMoneyNet Government Institutional Index, which returned 1.54% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The U.S. labor market continued its gradual tightening during the annual period ending December 31, 2018, with unemployment dropping from 4.1% at the end of 2017 to 3.9% at the end of December 2018. The unemployment rate did hit a low of 3.7% in September but additional workers returning to the workforce seeking jobs increased the rate in the fourth quarter. We believe this is a sign of a strong labor market. Wage pressures and wage inflation have not materialized despite the tight labor market but the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) sees the potential for them to materialize over the medium term to longer term. U.S. economic growth was very healthy in 2018 with GDP growth expected to be approximately 2.9% for the year. This strength was partially offset by a slowing of global growth, particularly in China and the euro zone. U.S. inflation remains below the FOMC’s target of 2% as measured by Core Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) data and is not expected to reach the target level in the near-term but longer-term inflations expectations increased during the year.
In light of the strong economic backdrop, the FOMC was able to gradually raise short-term interest rates 0.25% at the March, June, September and December meetings. Short-term government money market rates increased during the period in line with the FOMC rate increases. The FOMC at the

December meeting projected two rate increases in 2019 based on their Dot Plot projections after projecting three increases during most of the year previously. The FOMC has indicated that they are now very much data dependent and a pause in the gradual hiking of rates may be warranted. We believe the market continues to discount the chances of these increases and is not fully pricing them into short-term money market rates.
Preservation of capital, limiting interest rate risk and keeping an excess liquidity cushion were our primary objectives for the Portfolio during the period. Maximizing the yield and the total return of the Portfolio remained a secondary objective in light of the current market conditions and risks associated with future rate increases.
The Portfolio maintained a shorter than normal weighted average maturity (“WAM”) during the majority of the period expecting the FOMC to continue to increase rates in the near-term and longer term. Market yields were not fully pricing in the rate increases until just prior to the rate hikes, which limited the ability to pick up additional yield from extending maturities. The Portfolio continued to maintain an exposure to floating rate money market securities with the expectation of higher rates longer-term as well as the modest pickup in yield over shorter-term fixed rate securities and added to the sector during the period.
Outlook and Current Strategy: Looking ahead, we believe the U.S. economy will see continued above average economic growth, low unemployment and tame inflation in the near-term but we do expect economic growth to slow from the 2018 pace. We believe the FOMC will be able to increase rates in 2019 but no longer on the gradual path we saw in 2018 as long as inflation does not reverse and economic data including labor statistics come in near or above the FOMC’s projections. We believe that market expectations of future FOMC rate increases as reflected by short-term money market rates will continue to discount future rate hikes limiting potential returns.
In terms of the Fund, we plan to maintain ample daily and weekly liquidity, while looking for opportunities to extend our WAM if or when the market starts to price in higher yields in anticipation of FOMC rate increases. We will otherwise maintain the shorter WAM, an exposure to floating rate securities and look to take advantage of any market dislocations due to temporary supply and demand imbalances for short-term U.S. Treasury and agency securities.

Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize total return consistent with reasonable risk. The Portfolio seeks its objective through investments in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of debt securities. It is anticipated that capital appreciation and investment income will both be major factors in achieving total return. The Portfolio is managed by David Goodson, Randall Parrish, CFA, and Matthew Toms, CFA, Portfolio Managers of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of -0.54% compared to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 0.01% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, due primarily to sector allocations, while security selection was positive. Duration/yield curve positioning was defensive for most of the year and had no impact on performance.
Fixed income performance swung dramatically over 2018, with 10-year yields rising in the first half of the year, as improved growth prospects and the passage of corporate tax reform fueled optimism. With a healthy economic landscape, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) raised official short-term rates four times. Optimism was slashed, however, as elevated tensions between the United States and China, political gridlock in Washington and a growing fear of a risk to recession in the U.S. fueled a significant sell-off in equities and, in turn, fed a flight to quality that benefited the U.S. Treasury market. Meanwhile, non-government sectors struggled to keep pace with the rebound in U.S. Treasuries in the fourth quarter.
Security selection among investment grade corporate bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) all contributed to returns. Among investment

grade corporates, selection was aided by our strategy to favor short/intermediate term corporate bonds over longer maturities. Adding to relative results were our selection of higher-yielding non-agency CMBS opportunities, and in agency MBS our selection of agency collateralized mortgage obligations. Within our ABS allocation, investments in higher-yield CLOs also contributed modestly.
Sector allocation, particularly in the final three months of 2018, detracted from performance as “spread” markets meaningfully underperformed U.S. Treasuries in a flight to quality. (Spread assets are debt instruments that typically are priced in terms of their yield differential, or spread, to comparable maturity U.S. Treasury securities.) During the period, the Portfolio’s allocations of investment grade and high yield corporate bonds were overweight compared to the benchmark; those overweight positions detracted from results as corporate bonds underperformed. By contrast, more defensive security positioning helped to offset some of this underperformance: allocations to the generally lower risk ABS sector partially offset the detraction from corporate credit allocations. The Portfolio’s holdings of non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and credit risk transfer securities (“CRTs”) further contributed to performance in 2018.
The Portfolio used derivatives such as futures, swaps, options and forward contracts, for hedging and overall risk management. The use of derivatives positively impacted performance for the period.
Portfolio Managers’ Report | Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio |
Current Strategy and Outlook: With headlines painting the yield curve inversion as a precursor of economic doom, it is important for investors to remember that an inverted yield curve represents fear of a recession, we believe it does not cause a recession. While we see a deceleration in U.S. growth towards trend, we believe investment and improved productivity will support a modestly higher level of potential growth and limit inflationary risks. Meanwhile, we believe a more data-dependent Fed will take a break from its rate hikes, supported by limited inflation, a decelerating U.S. economy, elevated global trade tensions and U.S. political gridlock feeding market fears and volatility.
In our view, the repricing of corporate credit markets in late 2018 offers compelling entry points for investment grade and high yield corporate bonds. Overall, we believe the outlook for investment grade credit remains attractive with earnings reinforcing a supportive fundamental picture. We believe technical factors — including new corporate bond issuance — are likely to dominate near-term investment grade spread moves. Meanwhile, corporate high yield began 2019 with a market yield nearing 8%. With a pause from the Fed expected on the horizon, coupled with continued low default rates, these levels look attractive. We believe positive technical factors and improved valuations should lead to near-term outperformance.
In our opinion, securitized sectors continue to offer opportunity, especially in an environment of a slower Fed. We believe Agency MBS fundamentals remain solid with subdued prepays, while the Fed’s transparency in monetary policy and balance sheet normalization has helped the market adjust to the additional supply. We believe that a lack of Fed demand for agency MBS could impair the performance for “current” lower coupon mortgages, while slower prepays should provide a buffer for higher premium coupons.
In non-agency RMBS, we are positive but moderating our outlook given shifting valuations across the fixed income landscape. For legacy product, the opportunity set continues to dwindle, which has led some investors to hoard their investments. We expect stout technical factors and strong credit performance to remain well bid. Meanwhile, CRTS, relative value has improved somewhat and demand remains firm for this floating-rate asset class. We look for CMBS to perform well into the start of 2019, with relatively firm investor interest, a manageable new issue pipeline and supportive fundamentals. Overall, we are neutral on collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), preferring higher quality tranches. CLOs have been subjected to a wave of negative headwinds, from supply concerns to looser lending standards to investor outflow from senior bank loans, the underlying collateral to CLOs. Current valuations and the structural support offers select opportunities, while insurance companies and institutional asset managers are likely to provide an offset to retail worries, in our view.
The repricing of credit markets across the corporate and securitized spectrum in late 2018 against a backdrop of a moderating Fed and more benign economic outlook compels us to seek out opportunities on market weakness in non-government sectors with a bias towards liquidity. We believe markets will overshoot as investors overestimate downside risks and believe this will provide opportunities as a more benign scenario plays out in the year ahead.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio against the index indicated. The index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio and imposes no sales charges. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.
The Portfolio’s performance is shown without the imposition of any expenses or charges which are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. Total returns would have been lower if such expenses or charges were included.
The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.
The performance shown may include the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Adviser and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.
The performance update illustrates performance for a variable investment option available through a variable
annuity contract or a variable life insurance policy. The performance shown indicates past performance and is not a projection or prediction of future results. Actual investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Voya Small Company Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stock of companies with smaller market capitalizations. The Portfolio is managed by Joseph Basset, CFA, and James Hasso, Portfolio Managers of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of -15.84% compared to the Russell 2000® Index, which returned -11.01% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period ended December 31, 2018, the Portfolio underperformed the Russell 2000® Index. The lag was due to negative security selection effects, despite a partial offset from positive asset allocation effects. On the sector level, stock selection within the consumer services and retail sectors had the largest negative impact on relative performance. Key detractors included overweight positions in Forum Energy Technologies, Inc., Camping World Holdings, Inc. and Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation. By contrast, the healthcare equipment and services, and consumer durables, sectors exerted the largest positive impact on performance. At the individual stock level, key contributors included overweight positions in Amedisys, Inc., Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. and Americold Realty Trust. The Portfolio’s allocation to cash, although within typical range, also contributed favorably to relative performance in a period of declining stock prices.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to monitor changes occurring globally, actions at central banks and overall economic data. Our Portfolio positioning has not changed significantly. We seek to remain nimble and continue to focus on

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other Voya mutual funds.

Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

Class R6 incepted on November 24, 2015. The Class R6 shares performance shown for the period prior to their inception date is the performance of Class I shares without adjustment for any differences in the expenses between the two classes. If adjusted for such differences, returns would be different.
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 July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Boards of Directors/Trustees
Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Variable Funds, and Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Voya Global Equity Portfolio, Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Growth and Income Portfolio, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, and Voya Small Company Portfolio, (the Funds), each a series of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Variable Funds, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio and Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., respectively, including the summary portfolios and portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2018, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements), and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
As further detailed below, the Voya Variable Product Funds are series of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Variable Funds, Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, and Voya Government Money Market Portfolio (collectively, the “Registrants”), all of which are open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).
Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on December 14, 1988 with one diversified series, Voya Balanced Portfolio (“Balanced”). Voya Variable Funds is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one diversified series, Voya Growth and Income Portfolio (“Growth and Income”). Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on June 4, 1996 and has nineteen active separate investment series. The two diversified series of Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. included in this report are Voya Global Equity Portfolio (“Global Equity”) and Voya Small Company Portfolio (“Small Company”). Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one diversified series, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio (“Intermediate Bond”). Voya Government Money Market Portfolio is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one diversified series, Voya Government Money Market Portfolio (“Government Money Market”). Each of the Voya Variable Product Funds is a “Portfolio” and collectively, they are the “Portfolios.” The investment objective of the Portfolios is described in the respective Portfolio’s Prospectus.
The classes of shares included in this report are: Adviser (“Class ADV”), Class I, Class R6, Class S, Service 2 (“Class S2”) and Class T; however, each Portfolio may not offer all share classes. 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. 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 applicable.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the Sub-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.

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 of each Portfolio, (except Government Money Market), 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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, if such price is not available, at the last sale price as of the Market Close for such security provided by the CTA. Bank loans are valued at the average of the averages of the bid and ask prices provided to an independent loan pricing service by brokers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
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’ Board of Directors/Trustees (“Board”). Such procedures provide, for example, that: (a) Exchange-traded securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask; (b) Debt obligations are valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, benchmark yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data; (c) Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued based on prices provided by independent pricing services or market makers; (d) Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source using an industry accepted model, such as Black-Scholes; (e) Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued using a price provided by the central counterparty clearinghouse; (f) OTC swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (g) Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Such prices from the third party pricing service are for specific settlement periods and each 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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
Government Money Market uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities and seeks to maintain a constant NAV of $1.00 per share, although there may be circumstances under which this goal cannot be achieved. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost and amortizing any discount or premium over the period until maturity, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates or the market value of the security. Although the Board has established procedures designed to stabilize, to the extent reasonably possible, the share price of Government Money Market, there can be no assurance that the Portfolio’s NAV can be maintained at $1.00 per share.
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 “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 Portfolios’ investments under these levels of classification is included following 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. The beginning of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between levels of the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities. A reconciliation of Level 3 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 the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on a Portfolio’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments, which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
D. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. Certain 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 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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 they believe 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. 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.
As of December 31, 2018, the maximum amount of loss that Balanced and Intermediate Bond would incur if the counterparties to their derivative transactions failed to perform would be $116,475 and $4,711,356, respectively, which represents the gross payments to be received by the Portfolios on open forward foreign currency contracts and forward premium swaptions were they to be unwound as of December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2018, Intermediate Bond had received $2,749,000 in cash collateral from counterparties for open OTC derivatives.
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 each Portfolio and their 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.
As of December 31, 2018, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had a liability position of $55,402 and $2,154,017, respectively, on open forward foreign currency contracts with credit related contingent features. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of December 31, 2018, these Portfolios could have been required to pay these amounts in cash to their counterparties. At December 31, 2018, Intermediate Bond had pledged $530,000 in cash collateral to counterparties for open OTC derivatives.
E. Forward Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 upon future date. A Portfolio either enters into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or uses forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the following Portfolios had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts purchased and sold as disclosed below:
| | | Purchased | | | Sold | |
Balanced | | | | $ | 1,395,293 | | | | | $ | 3,375,262 | | |
Intermediate Bond | | | | | 53,569,993 | | | | | | 123,717,297 | | |
The above Portfolios entered into forward foreign currency contracts to protect their non-U.S. dollar-denominated holdings from adverse currency movements. Please refer to the tables following each respective Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2018.
Each Portfolio, with the exception of Government Money Market, 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. A 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 each 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. Open futures contracts are reported on a table following each Portfolio’s 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. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Balanced and Intermediate Bond have purchased and sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes. Balanced and Intermediate Bond purchased and sold futures on bonds and notes as part of their duration management. Balanced and Global Equity entered into equity futures to “equitize” cash. 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 the Portfolios since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the following Portfolios had average notional values on futures contracts purchased and sold as disclosed below:
| | | Purchased | | | Sold | |
Balanced | | | | $ | 51,696,276 | | | | | $ | 17,886,442 | | |
Global Equity | | | | | 26,567,800 | | | | | | — | | |
Intermediate Bond | | | | | 616,147,401 | | | | | | 371,830,067 | | |
Please refer to the tables following each respective Portfolio of Investments for the above Portfolios’ open futures contracts at December 31, 2018. There were no open futures contracts for Global Equity at December 31, 2018.
F. Options Contracts. Certain Portfolios may write call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities, commodities or foreign currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolios exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Portfolios exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Forward premium swaptions include premiums that have extended settlement dates. The delayed settlement of the premiums
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
is factored into the daily valuation of the option contracts. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolios may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. The Portfolios may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolios’ exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolios exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolios pay a premium which is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had purchased forward premium swaptions to manage duration and yield curve exposures. Please refer to the tables following the Portfolios of investments for open purchased forward premium swaptions at December 31, 2018.
Please refer to Note 11 for the volume of purchased option activity during the year ended December 31, 2018.
G. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Each Portfolio distributes capital gains, if any, annually. Balanced and Small Company declare and pay dividends, if any, annually. Growth and Income declares and pays dividends, if any, semi-annually. Government Money Market and Intermediate Bond declare dividends daily and pay dividends, if any, monthly. Global Equity declares and pays dividends, if any, quarterly. Prior to May 1, 2018, Global Equity declared and paid dividends, if any, 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.
H. 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 or expire.
The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
I. 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.
J. Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Portfolio will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by the Portfolio. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. There would be potential loss to the Portfolio in the event the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Portfolios under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
permit the Portfolios, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset receivables or payables under the MRA with collateral held and/or pledged by the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the respective Portfolio. Please refer to the table following the Portfolio of Investments for Government Money Market for open repurchase agreements subject to the MRA on a net basis at December 31, 2018.
K. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio (except Government Money Market) may temporarily loan up to 331∕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.
L. Restricted Securities. The Portfolios may invest in restricted securities, which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Restricted securities are fair valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board.
Securities that are not registered for sale to the public under the 1933 Act are referred to as “restricted securities.” These securities may be sold in private placement transactions between issuers and their purchasers and may be neither listed on an exchange nor traded in other established markets. Many times these securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. As a result of the absence of a public trading market, the prices of these securities may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to value than publicly traded securities. The
price realized from the sale of these securities could be less than the amount originally paid or less than their fair value if they are resold in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, these securities may not be subject to disclosure and other investment protection requirements that are afforded to publicly traded securities. Certain investments may include investment in smaller, less seasoned issuers, which may involve greater risk.
M. When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The fair value of such is identified in the Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the fair value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Portfolios are required to hold liquid assets as collateral with the Portfolios’ custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.
To mitigate counterparty risk, certain Portfolios have entered into Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTA”) with their respective counterparties that provide for collateral and the right to offset amounts due to or from those counterparties under specified conditions. Subject to minimum transfer amounts, collateral requirements are determined and transfers made based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all the when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions with a particular counterparty. Cash collateral, if any, is presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (Cash pledged as collateral for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities) and a liability (Cash received as collateral for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities). At December 31, 2018, Intermediate Bond had received $1,686,360 in cash collateral for open when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions.
N. Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. Each Portfolio, except Small Company, may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In a dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker/dealer, and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon, and maturity) security from the institution on a delayed delivery basis at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. The Portfolios account for dollar roll

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
transactions as purchases and sales. For fee based roll transactions, the fee is recorded as income.
O. Swap Agreements. Certain 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 fair 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. A Portfolio 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 following each Portfolio’s 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 each Portfolio’s Statement 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 Statement of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by a Portfolio when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statement 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 each Portfolio’s Statement 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 Statement of Operations.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Portfolio’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Portfolios are required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Portfolios are 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 each Portfolio’s Statement 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.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral agreement between counterparties in which the buyer of the protection agrees to make a stream of periodic payments to the seller of protection in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for a referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swaps, a Portfolio will generally receive from the buyer a fixed payment stream based on the notional amount of the swap contract. This fixed payment stream will continue until the swap contract expires or a defined credit event occurs.
A Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. As a seller of protection in a credit default swap, a Portfolio may execute these contracts to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market. Certain Portfolios may also enter into credit default swaps to speculate on changes in an issuer’s credit quality, to take advantage of perceived spread advantages, or to offset an existing short equivalent (i.e. buying protection on an equivalent reference entity).
Certain Portfolios may sell credit default swaps which expose these Portfolios to the risk of loss from credit risk related events specified in the contract. Although contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/moratorium. If a Portfolio is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement,
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
a Portfolio will generally either (i) pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index. If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed in each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting fair values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing fair values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations,
upfront payments received upon entering into the agreements, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had bought and sold credit protection on credit default swap indices (“CDX”). A CDX is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. Balanced and Intermediate Bond used CDX swaps to gain additional exposure with various sectors of the credit market and to hedge the credit risk associated with various sectors within the credit market. Balanced and Intermediate Bond also sold credit protection on single name issuers (Corporate or Sovereign) to gain additional exposure to the credit market. Please refer to the tables following the Portfolio of Investments for Balanced and Intermediate Bond for open credit default swaps to buy and sell protection at December 31, 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, Balanced had an average notional amount of $3,071,164 on credit default swaps to buy protection and an average notional amount of $4,796,000 on credit default swaps to sell protection. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Intermediate Bond had an average notional amount of $109,907,897 on credit default swaps to buy protection and an average notional amount of $124,700,000 on credit default swaps to sell protection.
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 year ended December 31, 2018, Balanced and Intermediate 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 amounts on Long interest rate swaps were $5,740,000 and $457,818,000, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had entered into interest rate swaps in which they pay a fixed interest rate and receive a floating interest rate (“Short interest rate swap”) in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amounts on Short interest rate swaps were $12,854,200 and $614,587,000, respectively.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Balanced and Intermediate Bond entered into interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures and to substitute for physical fixed-income securities. Please refer to the table following each respective Portfolio of Investments for Balanced and Intermediate Bond for open interest rate swaps at December 31, 2018.
At December 31, 2018, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had pledged $442,000 and $11,516,000, respectively, in cash collateral for open centrally cleared swaps.
P. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Registrants may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Registrants’ 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.

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

NOTE 10 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective May 18, 2018, each Portfolio, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, has entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through May 17, 2019. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of a 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 May 18, 2018, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through May 18, 2018.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance.

NOTE 13 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, each Portfolio (except Government Money Market) can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value
of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at Market Close of the Portfolios at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Portfolios on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Portfolios bear the risk of loss with respect to the
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2018 (continued)
NOTE 13 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)
investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Portfolios indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements.
The cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements that are collateralized at 102% with securities issued or fully guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury; U.S. government or any agency, instrumentality or authority of the U.S. government. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Securities Lending Collateral.
Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolios have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Portfolios in the event the Portfolios are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Portfolio.
The following tables represent a summary of each respective Portfolio’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under the Agreement as of December 31, 2018:

NOTE 14 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
Dividends paid by the 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, 2018 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2017 | |
| | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-term Capital Gain | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-term Capital Gain | |

NOTE 15 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization On Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). The update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
Also, in August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, management of the Portfolios is currently assessing the potential impact to financial statement disclosure that may result from adopting these ASUs.

See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
+
Other Financial Instruments may include open forward foreign currency contracts, futures, centrally cleared swaps, OTC swaps and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts, futures and centrally cleared swaps are valued at the unrealized gain (loss) on the instrument. OTC swaps and written options are valued at the fair value of the instrument.
#
The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

(1)
If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will either i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(2)
Payments made quarterly.
(3)
The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make or receive as a buyer of credit protection under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
(4)
The fair values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Increasing fair values, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring.
(5)
If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will generally either i) Pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or ii) Pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index.
(6)
Payments received quarterly.
(7)
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed in each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing fair values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will either i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

Payments made quarterly.
(3)
The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make or receive as a buyer of credit protection under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
(4)
The fair values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Increasing fair values, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring.
(5)
If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will generally either i) Pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or ii) Pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index.
(6)
Payments received quarterly.
(7)
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed in each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing fair values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on November 16, 2018, the Boards of Directors/Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Voya Variable Funds, and Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (collectively, the “Registrants”), including a majority of the Independent Directors/Trustees, considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Registrants, on behalf of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Voya Global Equity Portfolio, Voya Growth and Income Portfolio, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, and Voya Small Company Portfolio (the “Portfolios”), and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the sub-adviser to each Portfolio (the “Sub-Adviser”) for an additional one year period ending November 30, 2019. In determining to renew such contracts, the Board considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other matters.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2018, the Independent Directors/Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of personnel representing the Manager or Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 11, 2018, and November 14, 2018, specifically to review and consider materials related to the proposed continuance of each Management Contract and each Sub-Advisory Contract that they believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Management Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts in light of the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment. Subsequent references herein to factors considered and determinations made by the Independent Directors/Trustees and/or the Board include, as applicable, factors considered and determinations made at those meetings by the Independent Directors/Trustees. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.
The Board follows a process pursuant to which it seeks and considers relevant information when it evaluates whether to renew existing investment management and sub-advisory contracts for the Voya funds. The Board has established a Contracts Committee and Investment
Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Directors/Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee provides oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process, among other functions, and each IRC provides oversight throughout the year regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers, with respect to each Voya fund that is assigned to that IRC.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”). The Methodology Guide sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Directors/Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Directors/Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant. The Independent Directors/Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Portfolio’s particular attributes, such as fund type and size, fund category (as determined by Morningstar, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data (“Morningstar”)), sales channels and structure and the Portfolio share class being compared to the Selected Peer Group; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data including, but not limited to, investment performance, fee structure, and expense information prepared in connection with the renewal process.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Management Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was overarching, and each Board member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Portfolio’s investment management and sub-advisory arrangements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Portfolios, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Portfolios as set forth in the Management Contracts, including oversight of the
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” platform of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and regulatory compliance of the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Portfolios under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing oversight and due diligence with respect to the sub-advisers and to advocate or recommend, when it believes appropriate, changes in investment strategies or investment sub-advisers designed to assist in improving a Voya fund’s performance. The Board was advised that, in connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group which reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Registrants’ Chief Compliance Officer evaluating whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are consistently complied with, and other periodic reports covering related matters.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios and the level of resources committed to the Portfolios (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Portfolios.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Management Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts were appropriate.
Portfolio Performance
In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on
the investment returns of each Portfolio, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Portfolio’s Morningstar category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index that appears in the Portfolio’s prospectus. In addition, the Board considered Voya Global Equity Portfolio’s investment performance compared to an additional performance peer group that is approved by the Portfolio’s IRC due to the unique investment structure or strategy of the Portfolio. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a separate analysis of each Portfolio’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Registrants’ Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Portfolio. In this regard, the Board noted any breakpoints in management fee schedules that will result in a lower management fee rate when a Portfolio achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. The Board also considered that, while some of the Portfolios do not have management fee breakpoints, they may have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser could be shared with each Portfolio through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. In evaluating these matters, the Independent Director/Trustees also considered periodic management reports, Selected Peer Group comparisons, and industry information regarding economies of scale. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from a Portfolio, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or the Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by each Portfolio to the Manager compared to the Portfolio’s Selected Peer Group. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Portfolio, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered any fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Portfolios, including whether the Manager intends to propose any changes thereto. For each Portfolio, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.
For each Portfolio, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated service providers in connection with services they render to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each Portfolio both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Portfolios and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager and both before and after giving effect to any expenses incurred by the Manager or the affiliated Sub-Adviser in making payments to affiliated insurance companies.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Portfolios’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Portfolio in determining profitability, and that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all risks, including
entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks, associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment.
The Board also considered that the Manager is entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that it provides to the Portfolios. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Portfolios, including their ability to engage in soft-dollar transactions on behalf of the Portfolios. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Portfolios and the Manager and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.
Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis
Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions reached, at its October 11, 2018, November 14, 2018, and/or November 16, 2018 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Management Contract and Sub-Advisory Contract. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. In each case, the Portfolio’s performance was compared to its Morningstar category, as well as its primary benchmark and, in the case of Voya Global Equity Portfolio, a performance peer group. With respect to Morningstar quintile rankings, the first quintile represents the highest (best) performance and the fifth quintile represents the lowest (worst) performance. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2018. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 11, 2018, November 14, 2018, and November 16, 2018, meetings certain additional data regarding each Portfolio’s most recent performance, asset levels, and asset flows. Each Portfolio’s management fee rate and expense ratio were compared to the management fee rates and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
Voya Balanced Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for Voya Balanced Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2018: (1) the Portfolio is ranked in the second quintile of its Morningstar category for the one-year and five-year periods, the third quintile for the year-to-date and three-year periods, and the fourth quintile for the ten-year period; and (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding enhancements
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
to the Portfolio’s portfolio management team and investment strategies in recent years, and that, since the 10-year period, the Portfolio’s performance vis-à-vis its Morningstar category has been favorable.
In considering the fees payable under the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a level fee rate that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Portfolio is above the median net management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is below the median contractual management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median net expense ratio of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding the competitiveness of the Portfolio’s management fee rate and net expense ratio.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s net expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Portfolio’s performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2019. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
Voya Global Equity Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for Voya Global Equity Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2018: (1) the Portfolio is ranked in the fourth quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, one-year, three-year, and five-year periods, and the fifth (lowest) quintile for the ten-year period; and (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations that there were a number of changes in the Portfolio’s portfolio
management team and investment strategies, effective May 1, 2018 and management’s confidence in the changes to deliver long-term performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the economies of scale benefits to the Portfolio and its shareholders from breakpoint discounts applicable to the Portfolio’s management fee rate, which result in lower fees at higher asset levels; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Portfolio is below the median net management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is below the median contractual management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median net expense ratio of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s net expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) it is reasonable to permit the Sub-Adviser to continue to manage the Portfolio for the purpose of evaluating investment performance; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2019. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
Voya Government Money Market Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2018: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category average for all periods presented; and (2) the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented, with the exception of the year-to-date period, during which it equaled the performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
Management Contract with a level fee rate that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Portfolio is below the median net management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is above the median contractual management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median net expense ratio of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s net expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Portfolio’s performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2019. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
Voya Growth and Income Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for Voya Growth and Income Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2018: (1) the Portfolio is ranked in the fourth quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods, and the fifth (lowest) quintile for the one-year period; and (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) management’s representations regarding the impact of security selection on the Portfolio’s performance; and (2) management’s confidence in the ability of the Sub-Adviser to execute the Portfolio’s investment objective.
In considering the fees payable under the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a breakpoint fee schedule where the asset level necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Portfolio; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be
borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Portfolio is below the median net management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is below the median contractual management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median net expense ratio of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.

During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

In considering the fees payable under the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a breakpoint fee schedule where the asset level necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Portfolio; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Portfolio is above the median net management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is above the median contractual management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median net
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
expense ratio of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding the competitiveness of the Portfolio’s management fee rate and net expense ratio.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s net expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the board; (3) the Portfolio’s performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2019. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
Voya Small Company Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for Voya Small Company Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2018: (1) the Portfolio is ranked in the first (highest) quintile of its Morningstar category for the three-year and five-year periods, the second quintile for the ten-year period, the fourth quintile for the year-to-date period, and the fifth (lowest) quintile for the one-year period; and (2) the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented, with the exception of the year-to-date and one-year periods, during which it underperformed.
In considering the fees payable under the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a level fee rate that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Portfolio is above the median net management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is equal to the median contractual management fee rate of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median net expense ratio of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s net expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Portfolio’s performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Management and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2019. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

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