Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio | | Portfolio Managers’ Report |
Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio (the “Portfolio’’) seeks a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. 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, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 4.68% compared to the iMoneyNet Government Institutional Index, which returned 4.83% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: 2023 was a year of uncertainty, from the banking crisis early in the year to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s unexpected pivot on interest rates in December. The U.S. economy remained surprisingly resilient, driven by low unemployment, rising wages, robust consumer spending and increased investment in manufacturing. Volatility persisted in the U.S. bond market but ended the year on a strong note.
The yield on the U.S. Treasury 10-year note remained in a tight range for the first seven months of the year before spiking in August following news of a red-hot jobs market and then ultimately falling in December to near where it began the year as inflation and employment both moderated.
The Portfolio maintained a shorter than normal weighted average maturity (“WAM”) for the majority of the reporting period. Early in the year, we anticipated further hikes after 2022’s aggressive moves. The Fed raised rates four out of its first five meetings for a total of 100 basis points, before pausing and ending the year in the range of 5.25–5.50%.
In addition to the Portfolio’s shorter WAM, it held floating rate Treasuries tied to the three-month Treasury bill, which added yield early in the year. The Portfolio then shifted to floating rate agencies tied to the secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”). At the time, we believed the SOFR would be higher than the three-month Treasury bill as the market priced in rate cuts. This belief persists for 2024.
Current Strategy and Outlook: As the market focus shifts from inflation to growth concerns, we believe duration will become an effective offset to risky asset drawdowns. It is our opinion that rate volatility, though receding from recent peaks, will remain above pre-pandemic levels due to uncertainty about the timing of rate cuts and concerns about government debt levels. Elevated real rates we believe will incent investors to increase allocations to fixed income, creating opportunities during bouts of volatility.
That said, in our opinion, many corners of the market appear to be priced for a soft landing. While this has become a more likely outcome, we believe the risks to this outcome materializing are being ignored. Labor markets are coming into better balance which, while good news for inflation, could cause concern among workers that a turn in the cycle is approaching. This in turn could compel workers to boost savings rates which would limit consumption and act as a challenge to growth.
As such, we think the Fed will cut rates in 2024, although not as soon as or by as much as the market is currently pricing in. We will look for opportunities to extend WAM if the market moves in line with our view. We expect ample openings over the year to make that shift as inflation and labor data trend smoothly. Until then, we will keep a shorter WAM and continue to buy floating-rate agencies.

VY® CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio | | Portfolio Managers’ Reports |
VY® CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio (the ‘‘Portfolio’’) seeks high total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Portfolio is managed by Joseph P. Smith, CFA, President and Chief Investment Officer, Christopher S. Reich, CFA, and Kenneth S. Weinberg, CFA, Portfolio Managers of CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 12.33% compared to the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index and S&P 500® Index, which returned 9.68% and 26.29%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Global real estate stocks delivered a positive total return in 2023, aided by strong fourth quarter performance to close out the year as Fed Chair Powell announced the FOMC will cut rates in 2024. Inflation continues to decelerate in most markets, consumers remain resilient and property company fundamentals have been improving. Meanwhile, economic growth remains positive in most developed economies. For the year, real estate stocks returned +9.7% as regional performance was mixed. Europe was the best-performing region (+20.0%), followed by the Americas (+11.6%), while the Asia-Pacific region was the notable laggard (-1.2%), weighed down by a decelerating Chinese economy.

The Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the period as stock selection and sector allocation decisions have each added value. By region, the Americas has been the primary source of relative outperformance while Asia-Pacific region provided a modest contribution. Meanwhile, performance in Europe was a modest drag on relative performance, although absolute returns were quite strong for the year.
In the Americas, sector allocation was the main driver of relative outperformance. In the U.S., an underweight to the underperforming net lease sector along with an overweight to the outperforming mall, data center, storage and hotel sectors were the primary contributors to performance. Stock selection in the region was strong, led by strong stock selection in the storage, net lease and mall sectors.
Stock selection in the Asia-Pacific region benefited performance but was somewhat offset by sub-par sector allocation in the region. Stock selection was positive in all markets within the region, except for Hong Kong. From a sector allocation perspective, an overweight to the underperforming Hong Kong market detracted from relative performance.
Although absolute performance was strong, positioning decisions in Europe modesty detracted from relative performance during the period. Positive contributions from sector allocation on the Continent were more than offset by sub-par stock selection on the Continent as well as in the U.K.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Investment returns during the past two years have been largely driven by the market adapting to higher interest rates, which has resulted in a material drop in commercial real estate pricing from peak valuations in early 2022. Underlying property valuations in the listed market have ‘dislocated’ further from valuations in the private market, with REITs currently trading at double-digit discounts to private market valuations.
REITs have typically outperformed equities, bonds and private real estate at the end of Fed tightening cycles. In our opinion, real estate stocks remain attractively valued and offer above-average and growing dividend yields as well as resilient earnings growth. We believe investors committing capital to listed real estate at this time have the potential to earn an attractive absolute and relative long-term total return.
We are of the opinion that the long-term nature of leases in most real estate property sectors combined with the current pricing power for many property sectors (demand is outstripping supply) limits the impact of the macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds on forward earnings. Additionally, the economic landscape continues to evidence modest growth and we believe that a positive low-to-mid single-digit earnings growth rate is achievable given the significant pricing power and embedded organic growth present in many property sectors.
We believe we own a well-balanced portfolio of securities that have been screened for their growth prospects in combination with the quality of their business models, assets, balance sheets, and management teams. We are positive on property types, regions, and stocks that offer these qualities at reasonable valuations.

In North America, we are modestly overweight Canadian real estate stocks with an emphasis on residential, industrial, and retail. In the U.S., we are overweight malls, storage, healthcare, hotels, and towers. In Japan, we prefer mid-cap diversified, industrial and hotel J-REITs that are providing earnings growth and resiliency at very attractive relative valuations and select Japanese REOCs that have committed to improving their corporate governance. In Hong Kong, we are overweight diversified companies with a commercial bias and non-discretionary retail. In Australia, we prefer industrial, data centers, retail, farmland, and a few select diversified companies. In the U.K., we favor the industrial, retail, storage and student housing sectors, as well as attractively priced diversified companies. Within Continental Europe, we have a positive bias to retail, industrial, storage, and select diversified companies.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORTS | VY® INVESCO GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO |
VY® Invesco Growth and Income Portfolio (the ‘‘Portfolio’’) seeks long- term growth of capital and income. The Portfolio is managed by Brian Jurkash, co-lead portfolio manager, Matthew Titus, co-lead portfolio manager and Sergio Marcheli, portfolio manager, of Invesco Advisers, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 12.34%, compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index, which returned 11.46%, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio outperformed the index.
Stock selection in the information technology sector was the largest contributor to relative performance, due in part to Intel, Lam Research and Splunk. Intel reported broad revenue increases which resulted in earnings that came in above consensus expectations. Lam Research traded higher amid improving investor sentiment for semiconductors, as the cyclical slowdown in the industry appeared to be nearing an end. In September, Cisco announced its intent to acquire Splunk, which sent shares sharply higher, and we sold our position following the announcement.

Selection in consumer discretionary also contributed to relative returns, due largely to Amazon. The company reported better than expected earnings and revenues and a reacceleration of growth in its Amazon Web Services (AWS) business.
Stock selection and an underweight in utilities and consumer staples also aided relative performance, as these were among the weakest sectors within the benchmark for the fiscal year.
Selection in industrials was the largest detractor from relative performance, primarily due to Johnson Controls and RTX. Johnson Controls’ earnings were generally in line with expectations, but growth decelerated, and the company provided weaker forward guidance. Aerospace and defense firm RTX announced a recall of engines made by subsidiary Pratt & Whitney. The recalled engines were thought to contain contaminated metal, impacting hundreds of Airbus jets. Though not a safety issue, the recall sent shares lower.
The communication services sector also detracted from relative performance. Specifically, the Portfolio’s underweight in Meta in the first half of the year hurt relative performance as the stock significantly outperformed the overall sector. Meta was later removed from the Russell 1000® Value Index in the annual rebalance in June, but the Portfolio held Meta at year end.
Financials also detracted from relative returns, as the failure of several regional banks in March weighed on the overall banking industry and portfolio holdings in banks such as Citizens Financial. Similarly, Charles Schwab was affected by the bank crisis as investors became concerned about the company’s banking operation’s access to capital.
The Portfolio held currency forward contracts for the purpose of hedging currency exposure of non-US-based companies held in the Portfolio. These derivative positions had negligible impact on the Portfolio’s relative performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: During the period, we increased exposure to communication services, industrials, materials and utilities, and reduced exposure to health care and financials. At year end, the Portfolio’s largest relative overweights were in communication services and IT, while the largest underweights were in consumer staples and utilities.

We believe normalizing interest rates should reduce the risk of a deep recession; however, higher bank lending standards and rising corporate defaults may weaken the economy in 2024. Regardless, we seek to invest in companies with attractive valuations and strong fundamentals, qualities that we believe will ultimately be reflected in those companies’ stock prices.

VY® JPMORGAN EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY PORTFOLIO | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORTS |
VY® JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Austin Forey, Managing Director, Leon Eidelman, CFA and Managing Director, and Amit Mehta, CFA and Executive Director; each a Portfolio Manager of J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.— the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 6.38% compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM (“MSCI EM IndexSM”), which returned 9.83% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the period, stock selection detracted from relative returns while country allocation contributed.
Stock selection in China detracted from performance. The first quarter of the year witnessed scrapping of the stringent zero-covid policy but economic data, which witnessed an immediate bounce, lost some of its momentum for the remainder of the year as business and consumer sentiment continued to languish. The portfolio’s exposure to JD.com, an e-commerce player, detracted during the period. Increasing competition along with a proposed subsidy program to regain market share at the beginning of the year impacted returns in the name.

Commodities prices remained volatile during the year given conflicts in the Middle East and Russia. While they witnessed a drop from their 2022 peaks, prices remain much higher than their 2015-19 average. Consequently, the Portfolio’s underweight exposure to Energy detracted. Companies in the energy and materials sectors generally struggle to meet our standards on economics, duration, and governance or offer compelling long term expected returns.
On the positive side, stock selection in Argentina contributed during the period. The Portfolio’s off benchmark exposure to MercadoLibre (MELI), Latin America’s leading e-commerce company, aided performance. Increasing synergies with its fin-tech business, reduced competitive intensity in key markets, combined with an improvement in profitability, helped the stock outperform.

The Portfolio’s overweight exposure to the Financials sector contributed to relative returns during the period. Nu Holdings, a Brazilian digital banking platform, was a leading contributor. The bank reported solid results through the year, with strong loan growth, healthy revenue generation and lower expenses. It also experienced stronger than expected client growth in Brazil and Mexico.
Current Strategy and Outlook: 2023 was a relatively better year for EM equities as the index rose 9.8% over the year. An earlier start to hiking cycles helped contain inflation, with a growing number of emerging markets now poised, or starting to cut policy rates. Additionally, while China’s economy is in a multi-year adjustment with weakness in real estate and manufacturing weighing on aggregate activity, consumption looks to be stabilising with signs of a tentative recovery and supportive valuations
While markets have certainly been more volatile, we believe there are reasons to be hopeful for EM equities: falling global inflation provides EM central banks room to cut aggressively, the US dollar is down substantially and China’s economy is growing, even if the recovery has been delayed and may take longer to unfold than had originally been envisaged. Given the volatility within EM, it is even more important that we stick to our framework. Thus we continue to look for opportunities in EM equities where earnings growth can compound over the long-run.

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 15.91% compared to the MSCI World IndexSM (“MSCI World” or the “Index”), which returned 23.79% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: For 2023, underperformance was due to both sector allocation and stock selection. Within sector allocation, the main issue was the 20%+ combined overweight in the two defensive sectors, Consumer Staples and Health Care, which both underperformed the Index by over 20%. Looking at the three most successful sectors in the year, Information Technology, Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary, the benefit of the small overweight in IT was outweighed by the larger underweights in the other two. However, the Portfolio did benefit from the underweights in the lower quality, more cyclical sectors, notably Energy. For stock selection, the weakness was largely driven by Information Technology, where the Portfolio’s very healthy 47% gain was behind the 58% recorded by the market, whilst Health Care and Consumer Discretionary also detracted. Another way of looking at allocation is that the Portfolio only owned Microsoft out of the ‘Magnificent Seven’, leaving it with less than half of the 17% weight the Seven had in the index, hitting relative performance by over 400 basis points.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Index’s current forward multiple does not look cheap, particularly as it is based on an arguably optimistic, double-digit earnings growth assumption for 2024 and 2025. The Index finished 2023 at 17.3x 12-month forward earnings, and the S&P 500® Index at virtually 20x. The overall setup strikes us as an unfavourable asymmetry, with upside limited due to the ambitious earnings estimates and high multiples, while there could be plenty of downside if there is a recession.

We remain “double fussy” – concerned with the sustainability of both the earnings and the multiples. Our view is that the possibility of a downturn is not reflected in today’s earnings expectations, nor in the current market multiple. Given the vulnerability of high earnings and high multiples in the event of an economic slowdown, we would argue that investing in a portfolio of high-quality compounders makes sense.

VY® T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks, over the long-term, a high total investment return, consistent with the preservation of capital and with prudent investment risk. The Portfolio is managed by David R. Giroux, CFA and Vice President of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 18.60%. By comparison, the S&P 500® Index, the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit Index, and the 60% S&P 500® Index/40% Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit Index returned 26.29%, 5.72% and 17.76%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio posted a positive return but lagged its all-equity S&P 500® Index benchmark in the 2023 calendar year. The Portfolio’s equity holdings posted a positive return but slightly lagged its S&P 500® Index benchmark. The Portfolio’s fixed income holdings posted a positive return during the one-year period and strongly outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

The Portfolio’s overall fixed income weight increased compared with the beginning of the year. Within fixed income, we increased the Portfolio’s exposure to U.S. Treasuries, which provide ballast, generate income, and are highly liquid should we decide to add to riskier assets if further market stress arises. We continue to favor high-quality bank loans which offer attractive risk-adjusted return profiles.
Within equities, the health care sector detracted from relative returns due to an overweight allocation. The health care sector continues to play a significant role in the Portfolio, as we believe certain industries offer compelling, relatively stable growth potential. Utilities detracted from relative results due to an overweight position and stock selection. Ameren is a Midwest electric and gas holding company. Shares traded lower in mid-December after Illinois regulators issued a lower- allowed return on equity than was expected. An underweight allocation to the communication services sector also hampered relative returns, which was partially offset by stock selection. Conversely, the consumer staples sector contributed to relative performance due to an underweight position. Consumer staples significantly lagged the broader market during the year, as investors favored high-beta and growth factors, as well as companies with near-term benefits from AI. Industrials and business services aided relative results driven by stock selection. Early in the year, industrial conglomerate GE completed the spinoff of its health care business into GE HealthCare, a separate, publicly traded company. This successful spin, coupled with strong results in the company’s remaining aerospace and power divisions, propelled GE’s shares significantly higher.
During the reporting period, the covered call strategy represented generated a positive return. The covered call strategy's estimated contribution to the Portfolio's total return was 2.10%. Conversely, the estimated return impact from employing options was negative for the reporting period.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Major stock indexes soared in 2023, led by a return to favor for growth stocks and more cyclical segments of the market. Market sentiment has improved as recession fears have subsided and expectations have increased for the Federal Reserve to cut rates in 2024. While less restrictive monetary policy would likely be a boon for markets, the recent rally has left valuations vulnerable to a pullback, and still-elevated interest rates could pose a headwind to economic growth. At current levels, we have a relatively conservative outlook for markets and have positioned the Portfolio accordingly.

VY® T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks a high level of dividend income as well as long-term growth of capital primarily through investments in stocks. The Portfolio is managed by John Linehan, CFA, Head of U.S. Equity and Portfolio Manager of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 9.33% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index and the S&P 500® Index, which returned 11.46% and 26.29% respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Communication services was the leading notable detractor from relative returns, owing to an underweight position and weak stock selection. Our underweight to Meta Platforms was a notable headwind as the stock rose significantly following a renewed focus toward cost discipline and other idiosyncratic drivers in the beginning of 2023. The company continued to perform well as it experienced a rebound in digital ad spending and improved monetization trends. Meta Platforms was removed from the Russell 1000® Value Index in June when the benchmark was reconstituted and has been pared back in the Portfolio.

Unfavorable stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector detracted from relative performance. Early in the period, Porsche AG benefited from increased deliveries management focusing on pricing, and optimism around the company’s upcoming electric vehicle launches. Later in the period, shares were impacted as the company reported declining vehicle deliveries in China, and as the company leaned on volume to drive revenue growth instead of pricing.
The materials sector also hindered relative performance due to poor stock choices. CF Industries, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in North America, faced a volatile backdrop for fertilizer demand and pricing throughout the year. Early in the year, weak fertilizer demand impacted shares. The company benefited from improved sentiment around the fertilizer cycle at the midpoint of the year, which benefited shares, but fell to weaker levels during the last quarter.
Conversely, the industrials and business services sector was the significant contributor for the period, due to strong stock selection. General Electric is a global multi-industrial company operating in three segments: aviation, power, and renewables. We built a position in the name on the thesis that shares would benefit from the company simplifying the business and that a recovery in aviation would further propel shares. Over the year, GE trended upward as it made progress toward streamlining the business and benefited from a better-than-expected recovery in the aviation industry, improvement in renewables, and a successful spinoff of its health care business.
Favorable stock choices in the energy sector also aided relative performance. Shares of Total Energies contributed to relative performance over the period, as shares benefited from the company’s continued strong execution and focus on low- cost production and shareholder-friendly capital allocation policies.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The market was data point driven throughout 2023, and the most recent quarter was no exception, as the market rallied sharply on favorable inflation and employment news. While all eyes continue to be on the direction of monetary policy, we believe the Federal Reserve is also being heavily influenced by new data. We therefore expect the market to continue to be volatile, switching between optimism and pessimism depending on the next data point.
In our view, this backdrop creates a wide range of potential outcomes, and the likelihood of a recession versus a “soft landing” is largely unknown. For that reason, we aim to maintain a Portfolio that is balanced for a variety of markets, focusing on counterpunching the market and taking advantage of attractive opportunities as they are presented to us. Ultimately, we believe stock picking will be critical, and our valuation discipline and long-term investment horizon seeks to contribute to the Portfolio’s performance.

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, 2023 to December 31, 2023. 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 the 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 of Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio, VY® CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio, VY® Invesco Growth and Income Portfolio, VY® JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio, VY® Morgan Stanley Global Franchise Portfolio, VY® T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio and VY® T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio and the Board of Trustees of Voya Investors Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio, VY® CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio, VY® Invesco Growth and Income Portfolio, VY® JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio, VY® Morgan Stanley Global Franchise Portfolio, VY® T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio and VY® T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio (collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) (seven of the portfolios constituting Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios (seven of the portfolios constituting Voya Investors Trust) at December 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial highlights for the period ended December 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 21, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements 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 Trust 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Voya investment companies since 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act” or the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 3, 1988. The Trust consists of twenty-two active separate investment series. The seven series (each a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) included in this report are: Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio (“Government Liquid Assets”), VY® CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio (“CBRE Global Real Estate”), VY® Invesco Growth and Income Portfolio (“Invesco Growth and Income”), VY® JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio (“JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity”), VY® Morgan Stanley Global Franchise Portfolio (“Morgan Stanley Global Franchise”), VY® T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio (“T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation”), and VY® T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio (“T. Rowe Price Equity Income). All of the Portfolios are diversified except for Morgan Stanley Global Franchise, which is a non- diversified Portfolio of the Trust. 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“), Institutional (”Class I“), Class R6, Service (”Class S“) and Service 2 (”Class S2“); 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, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/losses from a portfolio pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio or a class are charged directly to that portfolio or class. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if any, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.
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“), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the sub-adviser to Government Liquid Assets. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (”VID“ or the ”Distributor“), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (”GAAP“) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Each Portfolio is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (”NYSE“) opens for regular trading (each such day, a ”Business Day“). The net asset value (”NAV“) per share for each class of each Portfolio is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (”Market Close“), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (”CTA“), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange- traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The 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.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open- end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which 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’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.
When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine 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.
The Portfolios’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.
Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).
Level 3 — unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions in determining fair value).
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument.
Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.
Government Liquid Assets 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 Liquid Assets, 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-advisers’ or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as ”Level 3.“ The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
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. CBRE Global Real Estate estimates components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (”REITs“). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. If CBRE Global Real Estate no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the 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 each Portfolios’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than
investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.
D. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly and net capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually by Government Liquid Assets. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid semi-annually and net capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually by T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation and T. Rowe Price Equity Income. For all other Portfolios, dividends from net investment income and net capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.
E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

G. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Portfolios’ investment strategies permit the Portfolios to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, a Portfolio will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow a Portfolio to pursue its objectives more quickly, and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.
In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Portfolio may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:
Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a Portfolio to achieve its investment objectives.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that a Portfolio invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non- U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by a Portfolio through foreign currency exchange transactions.
Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure
to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.
Interest Rate Risk. With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a rising market interest rate environment, which may increase a Portfolio’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. 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 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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
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 over-the-counter (”OTC“) with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Portfolio to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.
Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to a Portfolio. Each Portfolio’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. A Portfolio intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, a Portfolio enters into master netting arrangements, established within each Portfolio’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (”ISDA“) Master Agreements (”Master Agreements“). These Master Agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by a Portfolio and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.
A Portfolio may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate counterparty credit risk on OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from a Portfolio is
held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.
As of December 31, 2023, the maximum amount of loss that Invesco Growth and Income would incur if its counterparties failed to perform would be $29,001 which represents the gross payments to be received on open forward foreign currency contracts were they to be unwound as of December 31, 2023. There was no collateral pledged by any counterparty at December 31, 2023 to any Portfolio.
Certain Portfolios have entered into derivative contracts that contain 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 its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that a Portfolio will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s net assets and/or a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s NAV, which could cause a Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within each Portfolio’s Master Agreements.
As of December 31, 2023, CBRE Global Real Estate, Invesco Growth and Income and T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation had a liability position of $22, $118,612 and $20,295,699, respectively, on open forward foreign currency contracts and open OTC written options. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of December 31, 2023, each Portfolio could have been required to pay these amounts in cash to its counterparties. There was no cash collateral pledged by any Portfolio as of December 31, 2023.
H. Forward Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on their non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward currency contract, the Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed- upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and a Portfolio’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. These instruments involve market and/ or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates. Open forward foreign currency contracts are presented following the respective Portfolio of Investments.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the following Portfolios had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts purchased and sold as disclosed below. The Portfolios used forward foreign currency contracts primarily to protect any non-U.S. dollar-denominated holdings from adverse currency movements. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for CBRE Global Real Estate and Invesco Growth and Income for open forward foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2023.
| | Buy | | | Sell | |
CBRE Global Real Estate | | $ | 89,504 | | | $ | — | |
Invesco Growth and Income | | | 3,066,237 | | | | 14,486,538 | |
Each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Each Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts. Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Portfolio’s assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, each 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 the Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Open futures contracts are reported on a table following each Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are footnoted in the Portfolio of Investments, if any. Cash collateral held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in each Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. Futures contracts are purchased to provide immediate market exposure proportionate to the size of each Portfolio’s respective cash flows and residual cash balances in order to decrease potential tracking error if the cash remained uninvested in the market. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Portfolios are unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Portfolios’ 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.
The Portfolios did not enter into any futures contracts for the year ended December 31, 2023.
I. Options Contracts. Certain Portfolios may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Portfolios may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. An amount equal to the proceeds of the premium received by the Portfolios upon the writing of a put or call option is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and equivalent liability which is subsequently marked- to-market until it is exercised or closed, or it expires. The Portfolios will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Portfolios give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Portfolios may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Portfolios pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation had written equity options with an average notional value of $773,597,067 to generate
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
income. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open written equity options at December 31, 2023. T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation had pledged securities fair valued at $22,566,227 for open written call options and these are footnoted within the Portfolio of Investments.
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 agreement, plus accrued interest, being invested by a 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. If the seller defaults, a Portfolio might incur a loss or delay in the realization of proceeds if the value of the security collateralizing the repurchase agreement declines, and may incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Portfolios under Master Repurchase Agreements (”MRA“) which 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 Liquid Assets for open repurchase agreements subject to the MRA on a net basis at December 31, 2023.
K. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio may temporarily loan up to 331⁄3% (except for JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity which may temporarily loan up to 30%) of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. Securities lending involves two primary risks: ”investment risk“ and ”borrower default risk.“ When lending securities, the 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. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
The Trust has entered into a shareholder service plan (the ”Plan“) for each Portfolio that offers Class S and Class S2 shares. The Plan compensates the Distributor for the provision of shareholder services and/or account maintenance services to direct or indirect beneficial owners of Class S and Class S2 shares. Under the Plan, each Portfolio makes payments to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class S and Class S2 shares, respectively. Each Portfolio that offers Class S2 shares has entered into a distribution plan (the ”Class S2 Plan“) with the Distributor on behalf of the Class S2 shares of the Portfolio. The Class S2 Plan provides that the Class S2 shares shall pay a distribution fee for distribution services, including payments to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class S2 shares.
Each Portfolio that offers Class ADV shares has a shareholder service and distribution plan. Class ADV shares pay a service fee of 0.25% and a distribution fee of 0.35% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class ADV shares.
The Distributor and the Investment Adviser have contractually agreed to waive a portion of their distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees and Unified Fee, as applicable, and to reimburse certain expenses to the extent necessary to assist Government Liquid Assets in maintaining a yield of not less than zero through May 1, 2024. There is no guarantee that the Portfolio will maintain such a yield. Unified Fees waived or expenses reimbursed are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser, as applicable, within three years subject to certain restrictions. In no event will the amount of the recoupment on any day exceed 20% of the yield (net of all expenses) of the Portfolio on that day. Distribution and shareholder servicing fees waived are not subject to recoupment.

The Investment Adviser may direct the Portfolios’ sub- advisers to use their 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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES (continued)
trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Portfolios. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the ”Notional Funds“). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of ”Other assets“ on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Portfolios, and will not materially affect the Portfolios’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
CBRE Global Real Estate may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by the Portfolio were $207,451.

CBRE Global Real Estate | | | 1.50% | | | | 0.90% | | | | 1.15% | | | | 1.30% | |
Pursuant to a side letter agreement through May 1, 2024, the Investment Adviser has lowered the expense limits to the levels listed below for JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity.

JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity | | | 1.81% | | | | 1.21% | | | | 1.46% | | | | 1.61% | |
With the exception of the non-recoupable management fee waivers for certain Portfolios, the Investment
Adviser may, at a later date, recoup from a Portfolio for fees waived and/or other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, a Portfolio’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees net of any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Adviser are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of December 31, 2023, the amounts of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser and the related expiration dates are as follows:

NOTE 10 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the ”Agreement“) with BNY, the Portfolios 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 investment of collateral
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 10 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)
with the following exception: BNY provides the Portfolios indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral to the extent the cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in cash equivalents, money market funds, repurchase agreements with maturities of not more than 99 days that are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, or certain short-term investments that have a remaining maturity of 190 days or less (“Permitted Investments”). Short-term investments include: securities, units, shares or other participations in short-term investment funds, pools or trusts; commercial paper, notes, bonds or other debt obligations, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other bank obligations and asset-backed commercial paper backed by diversified receivables and repurchase- backed programs. Permitted Investments are subject to certain guidelines established by the Adviser regarding liquidity, diversification, credit quality and average credit life/duration requirements. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Short-Term Investments.
Generally, in the event of counterparty default, 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 its right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a portfolio.
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, 2023:

NOTE 11 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of foreign currency transactions, income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and wash sale deferrals.
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:

As of December 31, 2023, no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Portfolios’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 12 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (”LIBOR“)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer- term impacts are still uncertain.
In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.
NOTE 13 — MARKET DISRUPTION
A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets,
conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long- term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including beyond those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of a Portfolio’s service providers.

NOTE 14 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial statements.
NOTE 15 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Dividends: Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the following Portfolio paid dividends from net investment income of:
| | Per Share Amount | | | Payable Date | | Record Date |
Government Liquid Assets |
Class I | | $ | 0.0043 | | | February 1, 2024 | | Daily |
Class S | | $ | 0.0041 | | | February 1, 2024 | | Daily |
Class S2 | | $ | 0.0040 | | | February 1, 2024 | | Daily |
On November 16, 2023, the Board approved a revised non- recoupable side letter expense limit agreement with respect to JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity. Effective January 1, 2024 through May 1, 2025, the new side letter expense limits are 1.79%, 1.19%, 1.44%, and 1.59% for Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2, respectively.
The Portfolios have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Other than the above, no such subsequent events were identified.

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

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS, SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS AND SUB-SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on November 16, 2023, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management, sub-advisory and sub-sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio, VY® CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio, VY® Invesco Growth and Income Portfolio, VY® JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio, VY® Morgan Stanley Global Franchise Portfolio, VY® T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Portfolio, and VY® T. Rowe Price Equity Income Portfolio, each a series of the Trust (the “Portfolios”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal, for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2024, of: (1) the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios; (2) the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets LLC, Invesco Advisers, Inc., J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., the respective sub-advisers to each Portfolio (the “Sub-Advisers”); and (3) the sub-sub-advisory contract (the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Contract” and together with the Management Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts, the “Contracts”) with Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited, the sub-sub-adviser to VY® Morgan Stanley Global Franchise Portfolio (the “Sub-Sub-Adviser”).
In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager, Sub-Advisers or Sub-Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts, sub-advisory contracts and sub-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, sub-advisory and sub-sub-advisory relationships separately.
The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management, sub-advisory and sub-sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers and sub-sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers and sub-sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Portfolio’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager, a Sub-Adviser or the Sub-Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.
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 SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited) (continUed)
advisory and portfolio management services for the Portfolios, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers and their sub-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 Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure 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 and their sub- sub-advisers, if any, 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 Sub-Advisers’ and Sub-Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions 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 due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and sub- sub-adviser and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers and sub-sub-adviser, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, each Sub-Adviser’s and the Sub-Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to each Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with each Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager, Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Advisers and Sub-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, Sub-Advisers and Sub-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, each Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.
Portfolio Performance
In assessing the investment management, sub-advisory and sub-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, Inc. (an independent provider of mutual fund data) category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index. 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 Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager, Sub-Advisers and the Sub-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 the 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, Sub-Advisers or the Sub-Sub-Adviser could be shared with each Portfolio through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. In the case of sub-advisory and sub-sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager and the relevant Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager, Sub-Advisers, and the Sub-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
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited) (continUed)
account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager, Sub-Advisers or Sub-Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences. For the non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser, the Board viewed the information related to any material differences in the fee schedules as not being a key factor in its deliberations because of the arm’s-length nature of negotiations between the Manager and non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser with respect to sub-advisory and sub-sub-advisory fee schedules, that the Manager is responsible for paying the fees of the Sub-Advisers and that the applicable Sub-Adviser is responsible for paying the fees of the Sub-Sub-Adviser.
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 and which additional services the Manager pays for on behalf of certain of those Portfolios under the “bundled fee” arrangement in return for a single management fee (“Unified Fee Structure”). The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Portfolio, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to each Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager, and the contractual sub-sub-advisory fee schedule payable to the Sub-Sub-Adviser by the relevant Sub-Adviser. In this regard, the Board considered that the Sub-Sub-Adviser is compensated by its relevant Sub-Adviser and not 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 proposed any changes thereto. For each Portfolio, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to each Sub-Adviser and the Sub-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 related to their services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each 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. The Board did not request profitability data
from the Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser, which are not affiliated with the Manager because the Board did not view this data as a key factor to its deliberations given the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between the Manager and these non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory and sub-sub-advisory fee schedules. In addition, the Board noted that non-Voya-affiliated sub-advisers and sub-sub-advisers may not account for their profits on an account- by-account basis and those that do often employ different methodologies in connection with these calculations.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser, 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. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Portfolios. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager, Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with 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’s, Sub-Advisers’ and Sub-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 at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The

In addition, the Board also considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings certain additional data regarding each Portfolio’s more 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. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.

In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding the competitiveness of the Portfolio’s performance during certain periods.

The Portfolio is managed by Brian Timberlake, Ph.D., CFA, Vincent Costa, CFA, Leigh Todd, CFA, Barbara Reinhard, CFA and Jeffrey Bianchi, CFA, Portfolio Managers* of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“VIM”). – the Sub- Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 11.42% compared to the 60% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index/30% Russell 1000® Index/10%MSCI EAFE® Index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond”), the MSCI EAFE® Index (“MSCI EAFE®”), and the Russell 1000® Index which returned 12.86%, 5.53%, 18.24%, and 26.53%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio started the year overweight to equities relative to fixed income. There were no changes to the asset allocation during the annual review process at the end of April. The Portfolio continues to overweight U.S. large cap equites and underweight international equities and U.S. core fixed income.

During the year, tactical asset allocation relative to the strategic benchmark added value. The main contributor was the overweight to US large cap growth equities.
The Portfolio is comprised of four strategies in weights matching of the corresponding asset classes in the strategic asset allocation — Voya Strategic Income Opportunities for fixed income exposure, Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility and Voya Large Cap Growth for domestic equity exposures and International High Dividend Low Volatility for international equity exposures. The underlying sleeves detracted from performance during the year, with all but the Voya Strategic Income Opportunities trailing their asset class benchmarks.

The Portfolio invests in derivative instruments for such purposes as seeking to enhance returns, to earn income or as substitutes for positions in certain underlying asset classes. During this reporting period, the use of derivatives detracted from performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio maintains its conservative, risk-adjusted return profile with investments split between 59% fixed income and 41% equities.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of Voya Balanced Income 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 includes, if applicable, 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 hIGH yIELD Portfolio | | Portfolio Managers’ rePort |
Voya High Yield Portfolio (the ‘‘Portfolio’’) seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income and total return. The Portfolio is managed by Randall Parrish, CFA and Mohamed Basma, CFA, Portfolio Managers* of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 12.01% compared to the Bloomberg High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index (the “Index”), which returned 13.44% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio underperformed the Index for the year. From a sector perspective, the primary detractor was security selection within technology. This stemmed from our overweight to Commscope and Rackspace, which both experienced idiosyncratic issues during the period. Security selection within the chemical space also detracted from performance, largely due to Trinseo. While our overweight to the retail sector added to performance, it was offset by security selection, as the avoidance of Carvana, which rallied from distressed levels, detracted from performance. The building materials space was a contributor, as both security selection and our overweight allocation added to performance. Specifically within this sector, the Portfolio benefited from an overweight to LBM Acquisition and avoiding select credits within the space. Additional contributions included security selection within home construction and media and entertainment. Our overweight to Adams Homes primarily contributed to the former, while the avoidance of a few underperforming issuers within the sector added to the latter.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In our view, the macro outlook for 2024 looks supportive for U.S. risk assets with low but positive growth and that the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to begin cutting rates. Fundamental factors in high yield remain relatively healthy, with limited credit deterioration. Third quarter 2023 earnings were more mixed than in the prior quarters, but consensus earnings estimates call for a rebound in earnings growth from fourth quarter 2023 through 2024. We are somewhat more cautious, as we expect a trend of weaker topline growth as pricing power diminishes against the backdrop of disinflation and weaker consumer demand, leading to margin erosion for companies, with lower-rated issuers being incrementally impacted due to elevated borrowing costs. We believe market technicals should remain supportive, with high all-in yields attracting buyers and the higher cost of debt limiting issuance. However, spreads begin the year at tight levels, skewing outcomes negatively in the event of any surprises.
In sector positioning, we remain positive on the healthcare space given higher utilization rates and easing labor cost, and the energy sector where commodity prices remain supportive and industry consolidation continues to offer upside to bond prices. In contrast, we are less constructive on consumer-reliant business models with weaker credit profiles given our view of moderating consumer strength in 2024 and we remain selective in sectors that have faced secular challenges, such as telecom and media. From a ratings perspective, we maintain a single-B average credit profile, with a heightened focus on single-name risk.

Voya Large Cap Growth Portfolio (the ‘‘Portfolio’’) seeks long-term capital growth. The Portfolio is managed by Jeffrey Bianchi, CFA, Kristy Finnegan, CFA and Leigh Todd, CFA, Portfolio Managers of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares, provided a total return of 37.38% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 42.68% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio underperformed the index during the reporting period due to unfavorable stock selection and allocation effects. Stock selection in health care, and to a lesser extent, financials and energy contributed the most to performance. On an individual stock basis, overweight positions in NVIDIA Corp. and CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc., as well as not owning AbbVie, Inc. added the most value. Conversely, stock selection within the consumer discretionary and communication services sectors detracted the most from performance. Additionally, while strong selection in health care contributed to performance, an unfavorable allocation to the sector also detracted. On an individual stock basis, an underweight position in Tesla, Inc. and overweight positions in Paycom Software, Inc. and Estee Lauder Companies Inc. had the greatest negative impact.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, the recent “U.S. Federal Reserve Pivot” appears to be signaling that the period of interest rate increases is over and that rate cuts in 2024 will be forthcoming. We believe this will continue to drive a broadening out of the equity market. From a positioning standpoint, it is our belief that more economically sensitive companies and sectors could see a benefit relative to more defensive or stable growth companies and sectors. While we always seek to have balance in the Portfolio, we’ve increased our exposure modestly to companies that we believe are more economically sensitive given the soft-landing narrative in place currently and potentially for some time going forward.

Portfolio Specifics: Sector allocation added most for the reporting period. The largest contributor came from asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and investment grade (“IG”) corporates. Agency mortgages contributed modestly. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) detracted within sector allocation as the sector continued to price in a recessionary scenario. Security selection did not meaningfully contribute. Duration and yield curve positioning contributed to results.
Futures were used in conjunction with cash bonds for duration and yield curve management. These investment decisions in total (derivative instruments and cash securities) detracted from performance over the reporting period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Looking forward, we believe that the outlook has improved marginally, however we still expect growth to slow below trend. The increased cost of capital will likely curb consumption and investment, however ongoing government support measures at a global level are expected to partially offset these effects. In particular, China's growth focused investment and advanced economies efforts to enhance supply chain security are anticipated to bolster growth in the short term.
As the market focus shifts from inflation to growth concerns, we believe that duration will become an effective offset to risky asset drawdowns. Rate volatility, though receding from recent peaks, will remain above pre-pandemic levels due to uncertainty about the timing of rate cuts and concerns about government debt levels. We believe elevated real rates will incent investors to increase allocations to fixed income, creating opportunities during bouts of volatility.
That said, many corners of the market appear to be priced for a soft landing. While this has become a more likely outcome, we believe the risks to this outcome materializing are being ignored. Labor markets are coming into better balance which, while good news for inflation, could cause concern among workers that a turn in the cycle is approaching. This in turn could compel workers to boost savings rates which would limit consumption and act as a challenge to growth.

With this dynamic in place, the Portfolio has a moderate level of risk with focus on higher quality credit, and allocations are skewed towards sectors with better relative value. For example, securitized credit markets are currently trading with wider spreads relative to comparably rated corporates bonds.
Meanwhile, it is our opinion that the dark clouds facing the sector due to concerns over CMBS appear to be fading as lower rates make refinancing existing loans less challenging. Within corporate credit, we prefer IG, however to the extent we are willing to drift into lower quality, we prefer high yield over senior loans given the latter is most directly impacted by higher financing costs. Outside of credit, agency MBS remain attractive relative to treasuries due to historically wide spreads despite minimal prepayment risk.

VY® CBRE Real estate portfolio | | Portfolio Managers’ Report |
VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio (the ‘‘Portfolio’’) seeks total return including capital appreciation and current income. The Portfolio is managed by Joseph P. Smith, CFA, President, and Chief Investment Officer, Jonathan D. Miniman, CFA, and Kenneth S. Weinberg, CFA, Portfolio Managers of CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets LLC — the Sub- Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 14.04% compared to the MSCI U.S. REIT®Index, which returned 13.74% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Real estate stocks delivered positive performance in 2023, aided by strong fourth quarter performance to close out the year as Fed Chair Powell announced the FOMC will cut rates in 2024. For the year, real estate stocks returned +13.8% as all major property types delivered positive performance. The mall and data center sectors were the top performers during the period, up +31.5% and +30.0% respectively, as malls benefited from a resilient consumer and data centers benefited from the AI theme. Meanwhile, the office sector continued its underperformance as office fundamentals remain challenging in the current business environment.

The Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the period as the result of positive sector allocation decisions, which more than offset the impact of sub-par stock selection. Sector allocation benefited from overweights to the outperforming hotel and mall sectors as well as from underweights to the underperforming net lease and office sectors. An overweight to the underperforming tower sector was the only detractor from relative performance during the period. Stock selection in the healthcare and residential sectors accounted for the relative drag during the period, more than offsetting the value added from the outperformance of portfolio holdings in the net lease, storage and hotel sectors.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Investment returns during the past two years have been largely driven by the market adapting to higher interest rates, which has resulted in a material drop in commercial real estate pricing from peak valuations in early 2022. Underlying property valuations in the listed market have ‘dislocated’ further from valuations in the private market, with REITs currently trading at double-digit discounts to private market valuations.
REITs have typically outperformed equities, bonds and private real estate at the end of Fed tightening cycles. In our opinion, real estate stocks remain attractively valued and offer above-average and growing dividend yields as well as resilient earnings growth. We believe investors committing capital to listed real estate at this time have the potential to earn an attractive absolute and relative long-term total return.
It is our belief that the long-term nature of leases in most real estate property sectors combined with the current pricing power for many property sectors (demand is outstripping supply) limits the impact of the macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds on forward earnings. Additionally, the economic landscape continues to evidence modest growth and we believe that a positive low-to-mid single-digit earnings growth rate is achievable given the significant pricing power and embedded organic growth present in many property sectors.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT | | VY® JPMORGAN SMALL CAP CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO |
VY® JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity Portfolio (the ‘‘Portfolio’’) seeks capital growth over the long-term. The Portfolio is managed using two investment styles – quantitative and fundamental analysis. The Portfolio is managed in two sleeves – the quantitative sleeve managed by Wonseok Choi, Ph.D., Managing Director, Akash Gupta, CFA, Executive Director, and Phillip D. Hart, CFA, Managing Director, and the fundamental sleeve managed by Daniel J. Percella, CFA, Managing Director and Don San Jose, CFA, Managing Director, Portfolio Managers* of J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 12.26% compared to the Russell 2000® Index, which returned 16.93% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The quantitative sleeve underperformed the Russell 2000® Index during the year. Stock selection in the pharmaceutical and systems hardware sectors detracted the most from performance. Alternatively, stock selection in the industrial cyclical and basic materials sectors contributed.

On the negative side, overweight allocations in Chegg (“CHGG”) and Sonos (“SONO”) were the top individual detractors from results. Chegg provides an online educational platform with services like homework help, course selection, note taking, manuals, and textbook rentals services. Chegg serves customers in the United States. CHGG detracted from performance as the stock fell and reached a six-year low in second quarter 2023 after management warned of disruption to its business model due to the emergence of AI tools, like OpenAI‘s ChatGpt.
On the positive side, overweight allocations in Bluegreen Vacations (“BVH”) and Immunovant (“IMVT”) were top individual contributors towards performance. BVH is a vacation ownership company. The company markets and sells vacation ownership interests and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. Bluegreen Vacations serves customers worldwide. BVH added value during the year after share prices shot up significantly in early November on news of being acquired by Hilton Grand Vacations for $1.27 billion.
From a proprietary attribution standpoint, the alpha model yielded positive returns which were offset by stock specific impacts. From a factor perspective, momentum added the most followed by valuation.
The fundamental sleeve underperformed the Russell 2000® Index during the year. The combination of a macro-driven market focused on interest rates along with stock-specific issues mostly in consumer discretionary and health care caused the underperformance. In fourth quarter, the portfolio had strong absolute returns of 12.65%, but didn't keep up with the benchmark which returned 14.03%. From a factor standpoint, smaller size, higher beta, and lower quality companies outperformed, headwinds to the strategy’s investment approach.
From an individual stock perspective, an overweight position in Driven Brands Holdings detracted. Driven is a leading auto services company. The stock fell on full year guidance reductions for revenue and earnings in third quarter. The company pointed to pockets of softening demand in discretionary areas like car wash. An overweight position in Signature Bank also detracted. Signature Bank got caught up in the regional banking troubles in March and the FDIC took control of the bank, effectively wiping out the stock’s equity value. We were able to trim some of our position before the stock was halted. The stock resumed trading at the end of March and at that time we exited our position. Conversely, an overweight position in Simpson Manufacturing contributed. The building products company has executed well and posted strong earnings. The stock posted sharp gains over fourth quarter, primarily driven by expectations for lower interest rates. We’ve trimmed on strength. An overweight position in Evercore Partners also contributed. The stock performed on the back of a solid third quarter, driven by resilient advisory revenues. We’ve trimmed our position on strength.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio remains ahead of benchmark over all long term trailing periods. Amidst the challenging and volatile environment, the team spent much of 2023 upgrading the quality of the Portfolio. This resulted in eliminating a higher than normal 20 names and re-allocating that capital to the highest conviction ideas across sectors. Most of the trimming from outperformers was in industrials and financials. The energy sector was the largest add for fourth quarter and the year, and continues to be a source for new ideas with reasonable valuations. After exiting lower conviction names, consumer discretionary went from a large overweight to start the year to a large underweight. Industrials remains the top overweight.

We continue to focus on fundamentals of the economy and company earnings. Our analysts’ estimates for S&P 500 Index® earnings currently project +12% for 2024 and +12% for 2025. Easing inflation and improved prospects for growth have helped fuel optimism for a soft landing. However, be it the U.S. election, higher policy rates or significant geopolitical tension, we believe risks continue to remain that could push the economy into recession in 2024. Through the volatility, we continue to focus on high conviction stocks and take advantage of market dislocations for compelling stock selection opportunities.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of VY® JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity 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 includes, if applicable, 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. Please log on to www.voyainvestments.com or call (800) 366-0066 to get performance through the most recent month end.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
(1) | Class R6 incepted on May 3, 2016. 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, 2023 to December 31, 2023. 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 of Voya Balanced Income Portfolio, Voya High Yield Portfolio, Voya Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Voya Large Cap Value Portfolio, Voya Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, Voya U.S. Stock Index Portfolio, VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio and VY® JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity Portfolio and the Board of Trustees of Voya Investors Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Balanced Income Portfolio, Voya High Yield Portfolio, Voya Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Voya Large Cap Value Portfolio, Voya Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, Voya U.S. Stock Index Portfolio, VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio and VY® JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity Portfolio (collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) (eight of the portfolios constituting Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios (eight of the portfolios constituting Voya Investors Trust) at December 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial highlights for the period ended December 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 21, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements 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 Trust 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Voya investment companies since 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act” or the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 3, 1988. The Trust consists of twenty-two active separate investment series. The eight series (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”) included in this report are: Voya Balanced Income Portfolio (“Balanced Income”), Voya High Yield Portfolio (“High Yield”), Voya Large Cap Growth Portfolio (“Large Cap Growth”), Voya Large Cap Value Portfolio (“Large Cap Value”), Voya Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio (“Limited Maturity Bond”), Voya U.S. Stock Index Portfolio (“U.S. Stock Index”), VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio (“CBRE Real Estate”), and VY® JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity Portfolio (“JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity”). All of the Portfolios are diversified except for Large Cap Growth, which is a non-diversified Portfolio of the Trust. In seeking to track the performance of the index, U.S. Stock Index may become non-diversified as a result of a change in relative market capitalizations or index weightings of one or more components of the index. As a result, whether U.S. Stock Index will be considered diversified or non-diversified at any time will depend largely on the make-up of the index at the time. 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”), Institutional (“Class I”), Class R6, Service (“Class S”) and Service 2 (“Class S2”); 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, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/losses from a portfolio pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio or a class are charged directly to that portfolio or class. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate
class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if any, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.
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”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the sub-adviser to Balanced Income, High Yield, Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Limited Maturity Bond, and U.S. Stock Index. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Each Portfolio is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Portfolio is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange- traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The 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.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open- end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which 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’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.
When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine 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.
The Portfolios’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.
Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).
Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own
assumptions in determining fair value).
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.
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. The Portfolios classify each of their investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when a Portfolio has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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. CBRE Real Estate estimates components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. If CBRE Real Estate no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the 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 each 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.
D. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly and net capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually by High Yield and Limited Maturity Bond. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid semi-annually and net capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually by Large Cap Value and U.S. Stock Index. For all other Portfolios, dividends from net investment income and net capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.
E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
G. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Portfolios’ investment strategies permit the Portfolios to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, a Portfolio will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow a Portfolio to pursue its objectives more quickly, and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.
In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Portfolio may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:
Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a Portfolio to achieve its investment objectives.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that a Portfolio invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non- U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by a Portfolio through foreign currency exchange transactions.
Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure
to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.
Interest Rate Risk. With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a rising 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 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

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 over-the-counter (“OTC”) with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Portfolio to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.
Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to a Portfolio. Each Portfolio’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. A Portfolio intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, a Portfolio has entered into master netting arrangements, established within each Portfolio’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These Master Agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by a Portfolio and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.
A Portfolio may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate counterparty credit risk on OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from a Portfolio is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.
As of December 31, 2023, the maximum amount of loss that Balanced Income would incur if its counterparties failed to perform would be $548,953 which represents the gross payments to be received on open forward foreign currency contracts, forward premium swaptions and OTC purchased options were they to be unwound as of December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023, the Portfolio did not receive any cash collateral for open OTC derivatives.
Certain Portfolios have entered into derivative contracts that contain 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 its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that a Portfolio will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s net assets and/or a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s NAV, which could cause a Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within each Portfolio’s Master Agreements.
As of December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had a liability position of $810,000 on open forward foreign currency contracts, forward premium swaptions and OTC written options. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of December 31, 2023, the Portfolio could have been required to pay these amounts in cash to its counterparties. At December 31, 2023, Balanced Income pledged $580,000 in cash collateral for its open OTC derivative transactions.
H. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on their non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward currency contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and a Portfolio’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
date, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. These instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates. Open forward foreign currency contracts are presented following the respective Portfolio of Investments.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts purchased and sold of $29,680,660 and $32,752,712, respectively. The Portfolio used forward foreign currency contracts primarily to protect any non-U.S. dollar-denominated holdings from adverse currency movements. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2023.
I. Futures Contracts. Each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Each Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts. Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Portfolio’s assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, each 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 the Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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 each Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in each Portfolio’s
Statement 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, 2023, U.S. Stock Index and JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity have purchased futures contracts on various equity indexes to “equitize” cash. Futures contracts are purchased to provide immediate market exposure proportionate to the size of the Portfolio’s respective cash flows and residual cash balances in order to decrease potential tracking error if the cash remained uninvested in the market. In addition, Balanced Income and Limited Maturity Bond had purchased and sold futures contracts on treasury futures to manage the duration and yield curve of the Portfolios. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where each 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 each 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 counterparty default.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the following Portfolios had average notional values on futures contracts purchased and sold as disclosed below. Please refer to the tables within each respective Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts at December 31, 2023.
| Purchased | | Sold |
Balanced Income | $ | 102,056,998 | | $ | 24,580,122 |
Limited Maturity Bond | 127,902,042 | | 17,047,022 |
U.S. Stock Index | 65,965,658 | | — |
JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity | 4,875,642 | | — |
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 agreement, plus accrued interest, being invested by a 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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
price. If the seller defaults, a Portfolio might incur a loss or delay in the realization of proceeds if the value of the security collateralizing the repurchase agreement declines, and may incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Portfolios under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which 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. There were no open repurchase agreements for any Portfolio at December 31, 2023.
K. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio may 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. 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 securities is identified in each Portfolio’s 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 identify liquid assets sufficient to cover the purchase price.
N. Options Contracts. Certain Portfolios may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities, commodities or foreign currencies it owns or in which it may invest. The Portfolios may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. An amount equal to the proceeds of the premium received by the Portfolios upon the writing of a put or call option is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and equivalent liability which is subsequently marked- to-market until it is exercised or closed, or it expires. The Portfolios will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Portfolios give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Portfolios may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Portfolios pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had purchased and written options on exchange- traded funds with an average notional value of $26,670,898 and $13,188,732, respectively, to gain additional exposure to the high yield corporate bond market and to generate income. There were no open purchased and written options on exchange-traded funds at December 31, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had purchased and written foreign currency options with a notional value of $9,648,895 and $8,747,935, respectively, to gain exposure to foreign currencies and to generate income. Please refer to the tables following the Portfolios of Investments for open purchased and written foreign currency options at December 31, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had purchased and written interest rate swaptions with an average notional value of $13,621,000 and $57,611,200, respectively, to gain exposure to interest rates and to generate income. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open purchased and written interest rate swaptions at December 31, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had purchased and written forward premium swaptions with an average notional value of $7,000,600 and $62,767,650, respectively, 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, 2023. There were no open written forward swaptions at December 31, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had purchased and written exchange-traded options with an average notional value of $54,426,450 and $54,426,450, respectively, to manage duration and yield curve exposures and to generate income. Please refer to the tables following the Portfolios of Investments for open purchased and written exchange-traded options at December 31, 2023.
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, registered commodities exchange(s), counterparties or brokers. The fair value of an OTC swap contract is recorded on each Portfolio’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Daily changes in the value of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable on the 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 Statements of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received on OTC swaps by a Portfolio when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are included as a component in the realized gains or losses on 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 Statements 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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
the current value of the investment as reported on each Portfolio’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.
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.
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, 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, 2023, Balanced Income, High Yield, and Limited Maturity Bond had bought credit protection on credit default swap indices (“CDX”) and single name issuers (corporate or sovereign). 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 Income used CDX swaps to gain additional exposure within various sectors and to hedge the credit risk associated with various sectors within the credit market. In addition, Balanced Income bought credit protection on single name issuers to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced Income, High Yield, and Limited Maturity Bond had an average notional amount of $2,603,333, $19,000,000, and $3,650,000, respectively, on credit default swaps to buy protection. There were no open credit default swaps to buy protection at December 31, 2023.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap involves the agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One payment
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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, 2023, Balanced Income had entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate (“interest rate swap”) in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amounts on interest rate swaps was $38,582,364.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate (“Short interest rate swap”) in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amounts on short interest rate swaps was $27,889,348.
Balanced Income 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 tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open centrally cleared interest rate swaps at December 31, 2023.
At December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had pledged $620,000 in cash collateral for open centrally cleared interest rate swaps.
Volatility Swap Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into volatility swaps. Volatility swaps are agreements in which the counterparties agree to make payments in connection with changes in the volatility (i.e., the magnitude of change over a specified period of time) of an underlying referenced instrument, such as a currency, rate, index, security or other financial instrument. Volatility swaps permit the parties to attempt to hedge volatility risk and/or take positions on the projected future volatility of an underlying referenced instrument. As a receiver of the realized price volatility, a Portfolio would receive the payoff amount when the realized price volatility of the referenced instrument is greater than the strike and would owe the payoff amount when the volatility is less than the strike. As a payer of the realized price volatility, a Portfolio would owe the payoff amount when the realized price volatility of the referenced instrument is greater than the strike and would receive the payoff amount when the volatility is less than the strike.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced Income had an average notional amount of $3,341,000 on foreign currency volatility swaps (receiver). There were no open volatility swaps at December 31, 2023.
P. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

The Investment Adviser may direct the Portfolios’ sub- advisers to use their 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 trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Portfolios. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset
equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Portfolios, and will not materially affect the Portfolios’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
Balanced Income, Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Value and CBRE Real Estate may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by each Portfolio were as follows:
Portfolio | | Amount |
Balanced Income | | $61,332 |
Large Cap Growth | | 1,410,890 |
Large Cap Value | | 490,350 |
CBRE Real Estate | | 271,652 |

NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 12, 2023, the Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank
of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 10, 2024. 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 the Portfolio or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to June 12, 2023, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 12, 2023.
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 10 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Portfolios 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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)
NOTE 10 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)
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 investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Portfolios indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral to the extent the cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in cash equivalents, money market funds, repurchase agreements with maturities of not more than 99 days that are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, or certain short-term investments that have a remaining maturity of 190 days or less (“Permitted Investments”). Short-term investments include: securities, units, shares or other participations in short-term investment funds, pools or trusts; commercial paper, notes, bonds or other debt obligations, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other bank obligations and asset-backed commercial paper backed by diversified receivables and repurchase- backed programs. Permitted Investments are subject to certain guidelines established by the Adviser regarding liquidity, diversification, credit quality and average credit life/duration requirements. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Short-Term Investments.
Generally, in the event of counterparty default, 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 its right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Portfolio.
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, 2023:

The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal, Arizona state, and Massachusetts state.
As of December 31, 2023, no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Portfolios’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.

NOTE 12 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer- term impacts are still uncertain.
In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.
NOTE 13 — MARKET DISRUPTION
A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long- term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets,
generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of a Portfolio’s service providers.
NOTE 14 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial statements.

# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |
+ | 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 fair valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument. OTC swaps and written options are valued at the fair value of the instrument. |

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, 2023, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Balanced Income Portfolio, Voya High Yield Portfolio, Voya Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Voya Large Cap Value Portfolio, Voya Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, Voya U.S. Stock Index Portfolio, VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio, and VY® JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity Portfolio, each a series of the Trust (the “Portfolios”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, CBRE Investment Management List Real Assets LLC, and JPMorgan Investment Management Inc., the respective sub-advisers to each Portfolio (the “Sub-Advisers”), for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2024.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Advisers (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. 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 has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process
for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board:(1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Portfolio’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager or a Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.
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 Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited) (CONTINUED)
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 Sub-Advisers’ investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions 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 due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, each Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to each Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Advisers are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Advisers 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-Advisers, 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 each Sub-Adviser under the 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, Inc. (an independent provider of mutual fund data) category, except for Voya U.S. Stock Index Portfolio, as discussed below, and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index. In addition, the Board considered Voya Limited Maturity
Bond Portfolio’s investment performance compared to an additional performance peer group that is approved by the Board due to the investment structure or strategy of that 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 Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, with respect to Voya U.S. Stock Index Portfolio which seeks investment results corresponding to the performance of an index (commonly referred to an as an “index fund”), the Board focused on the reasonableness of the differences between the Portfolio’s net performance and the total return of such index over certain time periods.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Advisers as a 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 the 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, the Portfolios may have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager or the Sub-Advisers could be shared with each Portfolio through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. 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, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Advisers to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from a Portfolio, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Advisers, as applicable, for these differences. For the non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers, the Board viewed the information related to any material differences in the fee schedules as not being a key factor in its deliberations because of the arm’s-length nature of negotiations between the Manager
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited) (CONTINUED)
and non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to sub-advisory fee schedules, and that the Manager is responsible for paying the fees of the Sub-Advisers.
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 and which additional services the Manager pays for on behalf of Voya High Yield Portfolio, Voya Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, Voya U.S. Stock Index Portfolio, and VY® JPMorgan Small Cap Core Equity Portfolio under the “bundled fee” arrangement in return for a single management fee (“Unified Fee Structure”). The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Portfolio, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to each Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered any fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Portfolios, including whether the Manager proposed any changes thereto. For each Portfolio, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to each Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.
For each Portfolio, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each 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. The Board did not request profitability data from the Sub-Advisers that are not affiliated with the Manager because the Board did not view this data as a key factor to its deliberations given the arm’s-length nature of the relationship between the Manager and these non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory fee schedules. In addition, the Board noted that non-Voya-affiliated sub-advisers may not account for their profits on an account-by-account basis and those that do often employ different methodologies in connection with these calculations.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser, 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. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Portfolios. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Advisers and their respective affiliates from their association with the 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’s and Sub-Advisers’ potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.
Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis
Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings certain additional data regarding each Portfolio’s more 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. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the

In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding: (1) the impact of security selection and asset allocation of the Portfolio’s performance; and (2) the competitiveness of the Portfolio’s performance during certain periods.
In considering the fees payable under the 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 ranked in the fourth quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is ranked in the fourth quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is ranked in the third quintile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding: (1) the competitiveness of the Portfolio’s net expense ratio; and (2) the expense borne by the Manager for the provision of services by certain third parties to the Portfolio, such as transfer agency, custody, accounting, and legal services, pursuant to the Portfolio’s Unified Fee Structure.
Board Conclusions
After its deliberation, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable to each Portfolio and that approval of the continuation of the Contracts is in the best interests of each Portfolio and its shareholders. In doing so, the Board reviewed all factors it considered to be material, including those discussed above. Within the context of its overall conclusions regarding the Contracts, and based on the information provided and management’s related representations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with management’s responses relating to each Portfolio’s investment performance and the fees payable under the Contracts. During this renewal process, each Board member may have accorded different weight to various factors in reaching his or her conclusions. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Contracts for each Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2024.

VY® BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio | Portfolio Managers’ rePort |
VY® BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize real return, consistent with preservation of real capital and prudent investment management. The Portfolio is managed by Chris Allen, Managing Director and Akiva Dickstein, Managing Director, and David Rogal, Portfolio Managers of BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. – the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 4.30% compared to the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index (“TIPS Index” or “TIPS”) which returned 3.90% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: 2023 was a volatile year for macroeconomic data and interest rates. The Portfolio’s tactical long when earlier in the year the team added a long breakeven position on the view that inflation would remain stickier than the market expected. As that dynamic played out, inflation expectations increased. The team later unwound the position in June. Risk assets in general performed extremely well over the year as the US economy was more resilient than expected. Given this dynamic the Portfolio’s structural long position in rental-linked commercial mortgage-backed (“CMBS”) securities, primarily focused in single family rentals (SFR) contributed positively to the Portfolio. Increasing rental prices and a broad positive risk sentiment led to strong performance. Another contributor for the period was the Portfolio’s tactical long position in Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) which outperformed due to spreads being at historically wide levels while performance was strong late in the year. The Portfolio’s short position in European inflation contributed positively to performance driven by moderating inflation in the euro region. Our relative value strategies also added to performance.

The Portfolio’s underweight position in Japanese rates was a notable detractor from returns. The combination of the Bank of Japan’s lack of policy shift for much of the year, increased volatility, and Japanese nominal rates falling over parts of the year detracted from performance. Meanwhile, tactical positioning in US rates detracted over the period. At the start of the year, the position outperformed where the Portfolio was long duration in January before moving to an underweight in February as stickier inflation led rates to sell off. The team flipped the position back to being overweight duration in late June given our view that inflation was likely to come in softer than expected in the second half of the year, allowing the market to remove more hawkish Fed outcomes. While the Portfolio’s inflation conviction was correct with CPI printing more softly, strong growth and economic data broadly in the US resulted in rates selling off causing our overweight duration position to detract. The Portfolio’s overweight position was concentrated in the front end of the curve which shielded the Portfolio from further losses as the curve steepened. The team moved to a short duration position in the fourth quarter on the view that the market had begun to price in far too many rate cuts in 2024. While conviction remains in that view, the shift was too early and thus detracted from returns. Lastly, the Portfolio’s position in FX was a detractor for the period. While European inflation fell further relative to the US, the USD surprised to the upside and strengthened against the euro. Additionally, as the BoJ held rates, the yen weakened against the USD.

Current Strategy and Outlook: As 2024 unfolds, we expect economic data to soften, inflation to continue to move back towards the Federal Reserve’s target and for the Fed to be able to recalibrate policy beginning in the second half of 2024. We believe the market is currently pricing in too many rate cuts for 2024 and thus are underweight duration in the front end of the curve. We are long US breakevens as the market is pricing a quick return to the Fed’s 2% target and are long spread risk in portions of the market that we believe are attractive.

VY® BrandywineGLOBAL - Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks total return consisting of capital appreciation and income. The Portfolio is managed by David F. Hoffman, CFA, John P. McIntyre, CFA, and Anujeet Sareen, CFA, Portfolio Managers of Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC (“Brandywine”). – the Sub-Adviser
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s shares provided a total return of 5.53% compared to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond”), which returned 5.53% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics — For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio performed inline the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond. We maintained an overweight duration position in the Portfolio for the full calendar year in 2023. The decision to overweight duration was driven by a combination of macro and value factors. Most notably, we expected the Fed’s aggressive rate hiking cycle to slow inflation and growth and bond valuations looked attractive. Our long-duration posturing proved to be the primary driver to relative performance during the calendar year, with much of the outperformance coming in the later part of the year.

Looking back over the year, the US Fixed Income market rallied during the first quarter, but those gains were erased in the second and third quarters. The market’s setback was triggered by expectations for a “higher for longer” interest rate environment given persistent inflation. The market then rallied sharply over the fourth quarter, as the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) “pivoted” by indicating an end to its monetary tightening campaign and announcing its intention to cut rates three times in 2024 as inflation normalized. All told, the 10-year U.S. Treasury fell 71 basis points during the fourth quarter, ending at 3.88%. The decline was noteworthy, as the 10-year yield briefly exceeded 5.0% in October.
On the positioning front, we decreased exposure to investment grade corporate positions early in the year and increased exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). We made this change due to tight corporate credit spreads and attractive spreads and yields within the agency MBS market. We actively managed our US Treasury exposure during the year, generally favoring the 5-, 10- and 30-year portions of the market. The strategy remains overweight U.S. Treasury duration. We maintain the belief that U.S. Treasuries offer value in both soft and hard-landing scenarios, with potentially greater rewards in the event of a hard landing.

Current Strategy and Outlook: A U.S. economic soft landing appears to be the most likely scenario in 2024, although recession risks remain. We expect the economy to continue to slow as higher rates make their way through the economy. Fiscal policy, which has played a significant role in U.S. economic resilience, is likely to be less supportive in 2024. On the other hand, in our view, a strong labor market combined with rate cuts could allow the economy to avoid recession. In our opinion with inflation falling sharply, growth slowing, and the Fed about to embark on a ratecutting cycle, the macro environment appears generally favorable for bonds in 2024.

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, 2023 to December 31, 2023. 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 of VY® BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio and VY®BrandywineGLOBAL – Bond Portfolio and the Boards of Trustees of Voya Investors Trust and Voya Variable Insurance Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of VY® BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio and VY® BrandywineGLOBAL – Bond Portfolio (collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) (each a portfolio of Voya Investors Trust and Voya Variable Insurance Trust, respectively (collectively referred to as the “Trusts”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios at December 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial highlights for the period ended December 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 21, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements 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 Trusts 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Voya investment companies since 2019.

(1) | Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions, if any, at net asset value and does not reflect the effect of insurance contract charges. Total return for periods less than one year is not annualized. |
(2) | Annualized for periods less than one year. |
(3) | Ratios reflect operating expenses of a Portfolio. Expenses before reductions/additions do not reflect amounts reimbursed or recouped by the Investment Adviser and/or Distributor or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by a Portfolio during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the Investment Adviser and/or Distributor or recoupment of previously reimbursed fees by the Investment Adviser, but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions/additions represent the net expenses paid by a Portfolio. Net investment income (loss) is net of all such additions or reductions. |
(4) | Ratios do not include fees and expenses charged under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. |
• | Calculated using average number of shares outstanding throughout the year or period. |

Voya Variable Insurance Trust consists of one active investment series which is included in this report: VY® BrandywineGLOBAL — Bond Portfolio (“Bond Portfolio”), a diversified series of Voya Variable Insurance Trust.
Voya Investors Trust and Voya Variable Insurance Trust are collectively referred to as the “Trusts.” BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond and Bond Portfolio are each, a “Portfolio” and together, the “Portfolios.” The investment objective of the Portfolios is described in each Portfolio’s Prospectus.
The classes of shares included in this report for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond are: Adviser (“Class ADV”), Institutional (“Class I”), and Service (“Class S”). With the exception of class specific matters, each class has equal voting rights as to voting privileges. For class specific proposals, only the applicable class would have voting privileges. The classes differ principally in the applicable distribution and shareholder service fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/ losses from a portfolio pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio or a class are charged directly to that portfolio or class. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if any, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any. Bond Portfolio does not have a share class designation.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Each Portfolio is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Portfolio is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange- traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The 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.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open- end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which 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’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.
When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine 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.
The Portfolios’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.
Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).
Level 3 — unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions in determining fair value).
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants
would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.
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-advisers’ or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when 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:
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(1) | Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close. |
| |
(2) | Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. |
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Portfolios do not isolate the portion of their results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on the Portfolios’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid, and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.
D. Distributions to Shareholders. Net investment income dividends and net capital gain distributions, if any, for Bond Portfolio are declared and paid annually. For BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly and distributions of net capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the
distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.
E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Portfolios’ investment strategies permit the Portfolios to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, a Portfolio will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow a Portfolio to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.
In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Portfolio may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:
Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a 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. As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a rising market interest rate environment, which may increase a Portfolio’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. 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 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 over-the-counter (“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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to a Portfolio. Each Portfolio’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. A Portfolio intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, a Portfolio has entered into master netting arrangements, established within each Portfolio’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These Master Agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by a Portfolio and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.
A Portfolio may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate counterparty credit risk on OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from a Portfolio is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.
At December 31, 2023, the maximum amount of loss that BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $431,433 which represents the gross payments to be received by the Portfolio on OTC purchased options, forward foreign currency contracts, and OTC inflation- linked swaps were they to be unwound as of December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had received $50,000 in cash collateral from certain counterparties.
Each Portfolio has credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivative counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from a Portfolio. Credit related contingent features are established between a Portfolio and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that a Portfolio will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s net assets and/or
a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s NAV, which could cause a Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within each Portfolio’s Master Agreements.
At December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had a liability position of $690,808 on forward foreign currency contracts, OTC credit default swaps, and OTC written options with credit related contingent features. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of December 31, 2023, the Portfolio could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. At December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had not pledged any cash collateral for its open OTC derivative transactions.
H. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. A Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward foreign currency contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and a Portfolio’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. These instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates. Open forward foreign currency contracts are presented within the Portfolio of Investments.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into forward foreign currency contracts with the obligation to buy and sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to increase or decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolio uses forward foreign currency contracts primarily to protect any non-U.S. dollar- denominated holdings from adverse currency movements and to gain exposure to currencies for the purposes of risk management or enhanced return.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had average contract amounts of $1,761,450 and $3,118,356 on forward foreign currency contracts purchased and sold, respectively. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2023.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
I. Futures Contracts. Each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Each Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts. Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when a Portfolio’s assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and included within Cash collateral for futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Open futures contracts are reported on a table within the Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are footnoted in the Portfolio of Investments. Cash collateral held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where a Portfolio is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of a Portfolio’s securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. During the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond and Bond Portfolio had purchased and sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes as part of their duration strategy. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the following Portfolios had average notional values on futures contracts purchased and sold as disclosed below:
| | Purchased | | | Sold | |
BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond | | $ | 77,279,106 | | | $ | 55,122,262 | |
Bond Portfolio | | | 126,348,928 | | | | — | |
Please refer to the tables within Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond and Bond Portfolio at December 31, 2023.
At December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had pledged U.S. Treasuries with an original par value of $1,250,000 as collateral for open futures contracts.
J. Options Contracts. The Portfolios may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Portfolios may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. An amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolios upon the writing of a put or call option is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability which is subsequently marked-to-market until it is exercised or closed, or it expires. The Portfolios will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a covered call option is that a Portfolio gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that a Portfolio may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that a Portfolio pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had purchased and written options on exchange-traded futures contracts to manage its duration strategy and to generate income. BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had average notional values of $118,800,026 and $116,468,900, respectively, on purchased and written exchange-traded futures contracts. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open purchased and written options on exchange-traded futures contracts at December 31, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had purchased and written interest
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
rate swap options (“swaptions”) to manage its duration strategy and to generate income. BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had average notional values of $68,429,168 and $66,835,999, respectively, on purchased and written interest rate swaptions. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open purchased and written interest rate swaptions at December 31, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had purchased and written foreign currency options to manage its foreign exchange exposure. BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had an average notional value of $3,147,164 and $3,147,164, respectively on purchased and written foreign currency options. There were no open purchased or written foreign currency options at December 31, 2023.
K. Swap Agreements. The Portfolios may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”).
The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. Subsequent changes in market value, if any, are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. The Portfolios may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and currency swaps to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. All outstanding swap agreements are reported within the Portfolio of Investments.
Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from third party pricing services, counterparties or brokers. The value of the swap contract is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by a Portfolio when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are
included as a component in the realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A Portfolio also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and a Portfolio’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. A Portfolio is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a Portfolio is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are footnoted as pledged on the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.
Entering into swap agreements involves the risk that the maximum potential loss of an investment exceeds the current value of the investment as reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.
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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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, 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond sold credit protection on credit default swap indices (“CDX”) with an average notional amount of $1,870,850 to gain additional exposure to the various sectors of the credit market. A CDX is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. There were no open credit default swaps to sell protection at December 31, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond bought credit protection on certain single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign) with an average notional amount of $732,000 to reduce risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which the Portfolio is not otherwise exposed.
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, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into interest rate swaps in which they pay a floating interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (“Long interest rate swap”) in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amount on long interest rate swaps for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond was $25,761,117.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into interest rate swaps in which they pay a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate (“Short interest rate swap”) in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
amount on short interest rate swaps for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond was $8,233,882.
The Portfolios enter into interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures and to substitute for physical fixed-income securities. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond for open interest rate swaps at December 31, 2023.
Inflation-linked Swap Contracts. In an inflation-linked swap, one party pays a fixed interest rate on a notional amount while the other party pays a floating rate linked to an inflation index on that same notional amount. The party paying the floating rate pays the inflation adjusted rate multiplied by the notional amount.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into inflation-linked swaps in which they pay a floating rate linked to an inflation index and receive a fixed interest rate (“long inflation-linked swap”). Average notional amount on long inflation-linked swaps for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond was $3,537,714.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond had entered into inflation-linked swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating rate linked to an inflation index (“short inflation- linked swap”). Average notional amount on short inflation linked-bonds was $115,388,605.
BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond used inflation-linked swaps as part of their inflation strategy. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond for open inflation-linked swaps at December 31, 2023.
At December 31, 2023, BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond pledged $3,158,000 in cash collateral for open centrally cleared swaps.
L. Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included in interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case
of US Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
M. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio may temporarily loan up to 33⅓% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. Securities lending involves two primary risks: “investment risk” and “borrower default risk.” When lending securities, the Portfolios will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolios. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Portfolios to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Portfolios’ other risks.
N. Sales Commitments. Sales commitments involve commitments to sell fixed income securities where the unit price and the estimated principal amount are established upon entering into the contract, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. A Portfolio will enter into sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a sale commitment is outstanding, except for delayed delivery transactions, the Portfolio will maintain, in a segregated account, cash or marketable securities in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. Unsettled sale commitments are valued at current market value of the underlying securities. If the sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If the Portfolio delivers securities under the commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities, based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into. Please refer to the table following the Portfolio of Investments for open sales commitments held by BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond at December 31, 2023.
O. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Portfolios may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trusts’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Portfolios have entered into investment management agreements (“Management Agreements”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Portfolios. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment management and portfolio management services for the Portfolios and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Portfolios, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. Each Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, at the following annual rates:
Portfolio | | Fee |
BlackRock Inflation Protected | | 0.55% on the first $200 million; |
Bond(1) | | 0.50% on the next $800 million; and 0.40% thereafter |
Bond Portfolio | | 0.50% on the first $750 million; and 0.48% thereafter |
(1) | The Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive 0.05% of the management fee. Any fees waived or reimbursed are not eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board. |
The Investment Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with each sub-adviser. These sub-advisers provide investment advice for the Portfolios and are paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, the sub- advisers manage each Portfolio’s assets in accordance with that Portfolio’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations.

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Voya Investors Trust has entered into a shareholder service plan (the “Plan”) for the Class S shares of BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond. The Plan compensates the Distributor for the provision of shareholder services and/ or account maintenance services to direct or indirect beneficial owners of Class S shares. Under the Plan, the Portfolio makes payments to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares.
Class ADV shares of BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond have a shareholder service and distribution plan. The Portfolio pays the Distributor a shareholder service fee of 0.25% and a distribution fee of 0.35% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class ADV shares.
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At December 31, 2023, the following direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Voya Financial, Inc. or affiliated investment companies owned more than 5% of the following Portfolios:
Subsidiary/Affiliated Investment Company | | Portfolio | | Percentage |
Voya Institutional Trust Company | | BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond | | 19.06% |
Voya Solution 2025 Portfolio | | Bond Portfolio | | 13.05 |

Voya Solution Income Portfolio | | Bond Portfolio | | 9.39 |
Voya Solution Moderately Aggressive Portfolio | | Bond Portfolio | | 7.87 |
The Portfolios have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Portfolios. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Waived and reimbursed fees net of any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Adviser are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Expense Limitation Agreements are contractual through May 1, 2024 and shall renew automatically for one- year terms. Termination or modification of these obligations requires approval by the Board.
NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 12, 2023, the Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank
of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 10, 2024. 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 the Portfolio or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to June 12, 2023, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 12, 2023.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance.
The following Portfolio utilized the line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2023:

NOTE 10 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with BNY, the Portfolios can lend its securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral must be equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at Market Close of a Portfolio at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to a Portfolio on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The Portfolios bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Portfolios indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral to the extent the cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in cash equivalents, money market funds, repurchase agreements with maturities of not more than 99 days that are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, or certain short-term investments that have a remaining maturity of 190 days or less (“Permitted Investments”). Short-term investments include: securities, units, shares or other participations in short-term investment funds, pools or trusts; commercial paper, notes, bonds or other debt obligations, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other bank obligations and asset-backed commercial paper backed by diversified receivables and repurchase-
backed programs. Permitted Investments are subject to certain guidelines established by the Adviser regarding liquidity, diversification, credit quality and average credit life/duration requirements. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Short-Term Investments.
Generally, in the event of counterparty default, a Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to a Portfolio in the event a Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a portfolio.
At December 31, 2023, the Portfolios did not have any outstanding securities on loan.

NOTE 11 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of foreign currency transactions, futures contracts, paydowns, straddle loss deferrals, swaps and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2023:
| Paid-in Capital | | Distributable Earnings |
BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond | $2,529 | | $(2,529) |
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, 2023 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2022 | |
| | Ordinary Income | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-term Capital Gains | | | Return of Capital | |

The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal, Arizona state, and Massachusetts state (BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond).
As of December 31, 2023, no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Portfolios’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 12 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer- term impacts are still uncertain.
In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.
NOTE 13 — MARKET DISRUPTION
A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long- term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets,
generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including beyond those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of a Portfolio’s service providers.
NOTE 14 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial statements.

| (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. |

| (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. |

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS AND SUB-SUB ADVI- SORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on November 16, 2023, the Boards of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Investors Trust (“VIT”) and Voya Variable Insurance Trust (“VVIT,” and together with VIT, the “Trusts”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management, sub-advisory and sub-sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of VY® BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio (“BlackRock Portfolio”), a series of VIT, and VY® BrandywineGLOBAL — Bond Portfolio, a series of VVIT (together, the “Portfolios”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trusts, on behalf of the Portfolios, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts”) with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. and Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC, the respective sub-advisers to each Portfolio (the “Sub-Advisers”), for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2024, and the sub- sub-advisory contract (the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Contract,” and together with the Management Contracts and Sub- Advisory Contracts, the “Contracts”) with BlackRock International Limited, the sub-sub-adviser to BlackRock Portfolio (the “Sub-Sub-Adviser”), for an additional one- year period ending November 30, 2024.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager, Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts, sub-advisory contracts and sub-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, sub-advisory and sub-sub- advisory relationships separately.
The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management, sub-advisory and sub-sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers and sub-sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers and sub- sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Portfolio’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager, a Sub-Adviser or the Sub-Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.
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 and their sub-sub-advisers.
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (Continued)
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 Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure 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 and their sub-sub- advisers, if any, 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 Sub- Advisers’ and Sub-Sub-Adviser’s investment programs, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions 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 due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and sub-sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers and sub- sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, each Sub-Adviser’s and the Sub-Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to each Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with each Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager, Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Advisers and the Sub-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, Sub-Advisers and the Sub-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, each Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.
Portfolio Performance
In assessing the investment management, sub-advisory and sub-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, Inc. (an independent provider of mutual fund data) category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index. 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 Trusts’ 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, Sub-Advisers and the Sub-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 the 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 in addition to the management fee breakpoints, the Portfolios have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager, Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub- Adviser could be shared with each Portfolio through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. In the case of sub-advisory or sub-sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager or relevant Sub-Adviser, respectively.
Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager, Sub-Advisers and Sub-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, Sub-Advisers or Sub-Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences. For the non-Voya-affiliated Sub-
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (Continued)
Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser, the Board viewed the information related to any material differences in the fee schedules as not being a key factor in its deliberations because of the arm’s-length nature of negotiations between the Manager and non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Sub-Adviser with respect to the sub-advisory and sub-sub-advisory fee schedules, that the Manager is responsible for paying the fees of the Sub-Advisers and that the applicable Sub-Adviser is responsible for paying the fees of the Sub-Sub-Adviser.
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 each Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Portfolio, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to each Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager, and the contractual sub-sub-advisory fee schedule payable to the Sub-Sub-Adviser by the relevant Sub- Adviser. In this regard, the Board considered that the Sub- Sub-Adviser is compensated by its relevant Sub-Adviser and not 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 proposed any changes thereto. For each Portfolio, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to each Sub-Adviser and the Sub- 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 related to its services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager 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. The Board did not request profitability data from the Sub- Advisers, and the Sub-Sub-Adviser which are not affiliated with the Manager because the Board did not view this data as a key factor to its deliberations given the arm’s- length nature of the relationship between the Manager and these non-Voya-affiliated Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub- Adviser with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory and
sub-sub-advisory fee schedules. In addition, the Board noted that non-Voya-affiliated sub-advisers or sub-sub- advisers may not account for their profits on an account- by-account basis and those that do often employ different methodologies in connection with these calculations.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager, 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, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager 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. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
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, Sub-Advisers and Sub-Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Portfolios. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s profitability with respect to its services to the Portfolios and the Manager’s, Sub-Advisers’ and Sub-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 at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings certain additional data regarding each Portfolio’s more 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. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (Continued)
range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.
VY® BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for VY® BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2023: (1) the Portfolio is ranked in the first quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date period, the third quintile for the three-year period, and the fourth quintile for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods; and (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented, with the exception of the year-to-date and three-year periods, during which it outperformed. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding: (1) the competitiveness of the Portfolio’s performance during certain periods; (2) the impact that interest rates have had on the Portfolio’s performance; and (3) the continuation of monitoring the Sub-Adviser’s performance.
In considering the fees payable under the 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 ranked in the third quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is ranked in the fourth quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is ranked in the third quintile of net expense ratios 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.
VY® BrandywineGLOBAL – Bond Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for VY® BrandywineGLOBAL – Bond Portfolio,
the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2023: (1) the Portfolio is ranked in the first quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, three-year and five-year periods, and the second quintile for the one-year period; and (2) the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented.
In considering the fees payable under the 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 ranked in the fourth quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is ranked in the third quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is ranked in the first quintile of net expense ratios 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.
Board Conclusions
After its deliberation, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable to each Portfolio and that approval of the continuation of the Contracts is in the best interests of each Portfolio and its shareholders. In doing so, the Board reviewed all factors it considered to be material, including those discussed above. Within the context of its overall conclusions regarding the Contracts, and based on the information provided and management’s related representations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with management’s responses relating to each Portfolio’s investment performance and the fees payable under the Contracts. During this renewal process, each Board member may have accorded different weight to various factors in reaching his or her conclusions. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Contracts for each Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2024.

Voya global PersPectiVes® Portfolio | Portfolio Managers’ rePort |
Voya Global Perspectives® Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks total return. Under normal conditions, the sub-adviser invests the assets of the Portfolio in a combination of underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) that in turn, invest directly in securities such as stocks and bonds. The Portfolio is managed by Lanyon Blair, CFA and Barbara Reinhard, CFA Portfolio Managers(1) of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Under normal market conditions, approximately 60% of the Portfolio’s net assets are allocated to Underlying Funds that invest predominantly in equity securities, and approximately 40% of the Portfolio’s net assets are allocated to Underlying Funds that invest predominantly in debt instruments. These approximate weights are referred to as target allocations (“Target Allocations”). Depending upon the rules-based investment strategy, the equity target allocation may drop to approximately 30% and the debt target allocation may rise to approximately 70% — such weightings are called “defensive allocations.” No adjustments to the Target Allocations or defensive allocations will be made between quarterly allocation dates.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 10.28%, compared to the S&P Target Risk® Growth Index which returned 15.38%.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Portfolio delivered strong absolute returns, as inflation declined and economic growth was better than expected, helping global equities and fixed income produce solid gains. However, the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark. The Portfolio’s underperformance was due to asset allocation and to a lesser extent, Underlying Fund selection.
| Target Allocations as of December 31, 2023(1) | |
| (as a percentage of net assets) | |
| U.S. Large Cap Equities | 10.0% | |
| U.S. Mid Cap Equities | 10.0% | |
| U.S. Small Cap Equities | 10.0% | |
| Global Real Estate | 10.0% | |
| International Equities | 10.0% | |
| Emerging Market Equities | 10.0% | |
| U.S. Investment Grade Bonds | 10.0% | |
| U.S. Government Bonds | 10.0% | |
| Global Bonds | 10.0% | |
| U.S. High Yield Bonds | 10.0% | |
| (1) Portfolio’s current approximate target investment allocations (expressed as a percentage of net assets).

Throughout the year, portfolio positioning shifted between base and defensive multiple times, which is unusual. At the beginning of the year, the Portfolio held base allocations of approximately 60% equity and 40% fixed income. At the start of the second quarter, the Portfolio shifted to defensive allocations of approximately 30% equity and 70% fixed income, as fourth quarter 2022 year-over-year (“YoY”) earnings growth on the S&P 500 was negative. At the start of the third quarter, the Portfolio went back to base positioning, as first quarter 2023 YoY earnings growth on the S&P 500 was positive. Then, at the start of the fourth quarter, the Portfolio shifted back to defensive positioning, as second quarter 2023 YoY earnings growth on the S&P 500 was negative. The shock from the pandemic, unprecedented policy response and aftereffects has resulted in extraordinarily volatile data for some financial metrics, such as corporate earnings growth. Consequently, the signal for the earnings model that determines base and defensive allocations has not been effective, causing the tactical asset allocation shifts to detract from performance for the year. In terms of sub-asset class positioning, the relative underweight to U.S. large cap equities was a detractor, while an overweight to U.S. core bonds was a contributor.
Underlying fund selection was also a challenge. Strategies that detracted most from excess returns included Voya Emerging Markets Index Portfolio, Voya U.S. Bond Index Portfolio and Voya Global Bond Fund. Strategies that contributed most to excess returns included Voya Mid Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Voya Small Company Portfolio.
Current Strategy and Outlook: S&P 500 third-quarter earnings grew by 7.2% YoY, with 10 of the 11 sectors showing year-over-year increases. Energy was the sector that did not grow earnings, as it was up against tough comparisons from 2022 when crude oil reached prices that exceeded U.S. $120/bbl. The consumer discretionary sector led, with earnings rising by more than 13.5% compared with this time last year. In aggregate, earnings came better than expectations with 82% of companies beating. With U.S. corporate earnings moving from negative to positive, we have shifted the Portfolio back to base positioning in early January.
After unexpectedly strong performance from the U.S. economy and capital markets last year, investors enter 2024 more upbeat. While we are encouraged about the progress of inflation and the resiliency of consumers and corporations, we think noticeably slower economic growth, fair to modestly extended valuations and very optimistic forecasts around U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts could limit upside potential for stocks. We see rates markets are providing little room for yields to decline outside a meaningful slowing of economic growth. Despite high expectations, we think global stocks and bonds can produce respectable returns throughout the year. We believe the current setting presents opportunities for allocators to benefit from divergences in global policy, business cycles and pricing of risk. In this macro environment, we emphasize balance in Portfolio, but believe U.S. exceptionalism is set to persist.
Portfolio Managers’ rePort | Voya Global PersPectiVes® Portfolio |
The disinflationary process continues as decongested supply chain issues and slowing demand forces have accounted for most of the recent relief. We see more downside from factors such as shelter, and weaker wage growth as the lagged impact of tighter monetary policy further filters into the labor market, where there are early signs of weakness — such as declining job openings and quits. However, we do not expect significant deterioration in the labor market. Limited private sector overreach and rising real incomes from falling inflation should keep the growth downturn mild.
In our opinion, U.S. equities may continue to outperform other countries and regions, driven by their higher growth potential, proactive corporate rightsizing and robust earnings from unrivaled software innovation. We continue to be cautious on Europe as we believe the region’s cyclical gearing and relatively high interest rate sensitivity has made the sting from tighter policy more broadly felt. Europe is also more exposed to energy supply shocks and external demand from China, which is struggling. Exports have plunged, due in part to U.S. companies’ efforts to re-shore or move offshore manufacturing elsewhere. Furthermore, China’s real estate sector, their main growth engine, is in our opinion, in freefall. We are mindful that sentiment is beaten down and look for signs that the Chinese authorities will implement coordinated policy action before shifting stances.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the table and graph above illustrate the total return of Voya Global Perspectives® 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 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 includes, if applicable, 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.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UnaUdited)
As a shareholder of the 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 the 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, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The Portfolio’s 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 the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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 the 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 of Voya Global Perspectives® Portfolio and the Board of Trustees of Voya Investors Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Voya Global Perspectives® Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) (one of the portfolios constituting Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”)), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting Voya Investors Trust) at December 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial highlights for the period ended December 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 26, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements 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 Trust 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 are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Voya investment companies since 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 3, 1988. The Trust consists of twenty-two active separate investment series. The series included in this report is Voya Global Perspectives® Portfolio (“Global Perspectives” or the “Portfolio”), a diversified series of the Trust. The investment objective of the Portfolio is described in the Portfolio’s Prospectus.
The classes of shares included in this report are: Adviser (“Class ADV”), Institutional (“Class I”) and Service (“Class S”). With the exception of class specific matters, each class has equal voting rights as to voting privileges. For class specific proposals, only the applicable class would have voting privileges. The classes differ principally in the applicable distribution and shareholder service fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/losses from a portfolio pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio or a class are charged directly to that portfolio or class. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if any, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolio. Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolio. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolio.
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in affiliated investment companies that, in turn, invest directly in a wide range of portfolio securities (i.e., stocks and bonds). The investment companies in which
the Portfolio invests are collectively referred to as the “Underlying Funds.”
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The 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. The 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 the Portfolio is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of the 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 the Portfolio is closed for business, Portfolio shares will not be priced and the Portfolio does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent the Portfolio’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the Portfolio does not price its shares, the value of the Portfolio’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Portfolio.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which the Portfolio may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign securities’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.
When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of the Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or the Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine the 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 the Portfolio.
The Portfolio’s financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.
Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).
Level 3 — unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions in determining fair value).
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value,
the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
A table summarizing the Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.
Each investment asset or liability of the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio classifies each of its investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds. A table summarizing the Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when the Portfolio has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.
B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income received from the Underlying Funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as dividends from underlying funds in the Statement of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recognized on the ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement of Operations as such. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| (1) | Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close. |
| (2) | Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. |
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Portfolio does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on the 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.
D. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolio records distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The Portfolio declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, annually. The Portfolio may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.
E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions 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, no federal income tax provision is required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Portfolio may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sales of the Underlying Funds were as follows:
Purchases | | | Sales | |
$ | 64,031,055 | | | $ | 71,944,248 | |
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Portfolio has entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Portfolio. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment management and portfolio management services for the Portfolio and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Portfolio, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES (continued)
assets invested in affiliated Underlying Funds and 0.40% of the average daily net assets invested in unaffiliated Underlying Funds and/or other direct investments.
The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Portfolio and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
The Trust has entered into a shareholder service plan (the “Agreement”) for the Class S shares of the Portfolio. The Agreement compensates the Distributor for the provision of shareholder services and/or account maintenance services to direct or indirect beneficial owners of Class S. Under the Agreement, the Portfolio makes payments to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares.
Class ADV shares have a shareholder service and distribution plan. Class ADV shares pay a shareholder service fee of 0.25% and a distribution fee of 0.35% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class ADV shares. The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive 0.30% of the distribution fee for Class ADV shares of the Portfolio, so the actual fee paid by Class ADV shares is an annual rate of 0.05%. This waiver is not eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this waiver requires approval by the Board.
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At December 31, 2023, the following direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. owned more than 5% of the Portfolio:
l
Subsidiary | | Percentage | |
Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company | | | 8.17% | |
The Portfolio has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Portfolio. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the
Portfolio purchases shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Portfolio, and will not materially affect the Portfolio’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
The Portfolio may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by the Portfolio were $11,527.
NOTE 7 — EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT
The Investment Adviser has entered into a written expense limitation agreement (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Portfolio whereby the Investment Adviser has agreed to limit expenses, excluding interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses, and extraordinary expenses to the levels listed below(1)(2):
Class ADV | | Class I | | Class S |
1.55% | | 0.95% | | 1.20% |
(1) | These operating expense limits take into account the operating expenses incurred at the Underlying Fund level. The amount of fees and expenses of an Underlying Fund borne by the Portfolio will vary based on the Portfolio’s allocation of assets to, and the net expenses of, a particular Underlying Fund. |
(2) | Pursuant to a side letter through May 1, 2024, the total expense limits including the operating expenses incurred at the Underlying Fund level are 1.09%, 0.83% and 1.08% for Class ADV, Class I, and Class S, respectively. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board. |
The Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from the Portfolio for fees waived and/or other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Portfolio’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees net of any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Adviser are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of December 31, 2023, the amounts of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser and the related expiration dates, are as follows:

The Expense Limitation Agreement is contractual through May 1, 2024 and shall renew automatically for one-year terms. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.
NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 12, 2023, the Portfolio, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 10, 2024. 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 the Portfolio or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to June 12, 2023, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 12, 2023.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance.
The Portfolio did not utilize the line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2023.

NOTE 10 — 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 and wash sale deferrals.
Dividends paid by the Portfolio 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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 10 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (continued)
The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:
Year Ended December 31, 2023 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2022 | |
Ordinary Income | | | Long-term Capital Gains | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-term Capital Gains | |
$ | 4,194,986 | | | $ | 4,543,349 | | | $ | 4,015,019 | | | $ | 4,731,374 | |
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the capital loss carryforwards which may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2023 were:
Undistributed Ordinary | | | Unrealized Appreciation/ | | | Capital Loss Carryforwards | | Total Distributable | |
Income | | | (Depreciation) | | | Amount | | | Character | | Earnings/(Loss) | |
$ | 1,870,278 | | | $ | 659,104 | | | $ | (12,465,676) | | | Long-term | | $ | (9,936,294) | |
The Portfolio's major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal, Arizona state, and Massachusetts state.
As of December 31, 2023, no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio's financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Portfolio's federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 11 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer-term impacts are still uncertain.
In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other
statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.
NOTE 12 — MARKET DISRUPTION
The Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long- term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 12 — MARKET DISRUPTION (continued)
The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including beyond those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Portfolio and of the Portfolio’s service providers.
NOTE 13 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Portfolio's financial statements.
NOTE 14 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Portfolio has evaluated events occurring after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. No such subsequent events were identified.

Class I | | NII | | $0.6128 |
Class S | | NII | | $0.5848 |
All Classes | | LTCG | | $0.6321 |
NII — Net investment income
LTCG — Long-term capital gain
Of the ordinary distributions made during the year ended December 31, 2023, 4.16% qualifies for the dividends received deduction (DRD) available to corporate shareholders.
The Portfolio designates $4,543,349 of long-term capital gain distributions as 20% rate long-term capital gain dividends under Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3)(C).
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 allows qualified fund-of-funds to elect to pass through the ability to take foreign tax credits (or deductions) to the extent that foreign taxes are passed through from underlying funds. A qualified fund-of-funds is a regulated investment company that has at least 50% of the value of its total assets invested in other regulated investment companies at the end of each quarter of the taxable year. Pursuant to Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund designated the following amounts as foreign taxes paid for the year ended December 31, 2023:
Creditable Foreign Taxes Paid | Per Share Amount | Portion of Ordinary Income Derived from Foreign Sourced Income* |
$90,656 | $0.0116 | 21.92% |
* The Portfolio listed above did not derive any income from ineligible foreign sources as defined under Section 901(j) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Foreign taxes paid or withheld must be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. Shareholders are strongly advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.

(1) | Trustees serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The tenure of each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act, of each Portfolio (“Independent Trustee”) is subject to the Board’s retirement policy which states that each duly elected or appointed Independent Trustee shall retire from and cease to be a member of the Board of Trustees at the close of business on December 31 of the calendar year in which the Independent Trustee attains the age of 75. A majority vote of the Board’s other Independent Trustees may extend the retirement date of an Independent Trustee if the retirement would trigger a requirement to hold a meeting of shareholders of the Trust under applicable law, whether for the purposes of appointing a successor to the Independent Trustee or otherwise comply under applicable law, in which case the extension would apply until such time as the shareholder meeting can be held or is no longer required (as determined by a vote of a majority of the other Independent Trustees). |

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on November 16, 2023, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Global Perspectives® Portfolio, a series of the Trust (the “Portfolio”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contract (the “Management Contract”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the sub-advisory contract (the “Sub-Advisory Contract,” and together with the Management Contract, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the sub-adviser to the Portfolio (the “Sub-Adviser”), for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2024.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. 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 has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for the Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on the Portfolio’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager or Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.
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 Portfolio, 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 Portfolio as set forth in the Management Contract, including oversight of the Portfolio’s operations and risk management and the oversight of its various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure 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 Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited) (continUed)
policies and restrictions with respect to the Portfolio under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that 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 or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for the Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolio and the level of resources committed to the Portfolio (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 Portfolio.
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 Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.
Portfolio Performance
In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of the Portfolio, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Portfolio’s Morningstar, Inc. (an independent provider of mutual fund data) category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a separate analysis of the Portfolio’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedule, the Board considered whether economies of
scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as the Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Portfolio. The Board considered that, while the Portfolio does not have management fee breakpoints, it has fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements.
Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and 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 the Portfolio, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.
Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by the 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 the 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 the fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Portfolio, including whether the Manager proposed any changes thereto. 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.
The Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates 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 the Portfolio both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Portfolio and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited) (continUed)
Sub-Adviser, 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 Portfolio’s operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to the Portfolio in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio. 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 Portfolio and the Manager’s and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.
Portfolio Analysis
Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving the Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings certain additional data regarding the Portfolio’s more recent performance, asset levels and asset flows. The 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. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2023: (1) the Portfolio is ranked in the second quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date period, the third quintile for the five-year period, the fourth quintile for the one-year period, and the fifth quintile for the three-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: (1) the competitiveness of the Portfolio’s performance during certain periods; and (2) the changes to the Portfolio’s portfolio management team in May 2023.
In considering the fees payable under the 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 ranked in the second quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is ranked in the third quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the all-in net expense ratio for the Portfolio, inclusive of the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”), is ranked in the first quintile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group, and the net expense ratio for the Portfolio, not inclusive of AFFE, is above the median of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account that, as reflected in the AFFE, the Portfolio indirectly bears the fees payable by the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests.
Board Conclusions
After its deliberation, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable to the Portfolio and that approval of the continuation of the Contracts is in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders. In doing so, the Board reviewed all factors it considered to be material, including those discussed above. Within the context of its overall conclusions regarding the Contracts, and based on the information provided and management’s related representations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with management’s responses relating to the Portfolio’s investment performance and the fees payable under the Contracts. During this renewal process, each Board member may have accorded different weight to various factors in reaching his or her conclusions. Based
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited) (continUed)
on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2024.

| VOYA RETIREMENT PORTFOLIOS | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT |
| | |
Voya Retirement Portfolios consist of Voya Retirement Conservative Portfolio, Voya Retirement Growth Portfolio, Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio and Voya Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio (each a “Portfolio” or collectively, the “Portfolios” or the “Retirement Portfolios”). Each Portfolio* seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of underlying funds which are actively managed funds or passively managed funds (index funds).(1) The Portfolios are managed by Lanyon Blair, CFA, and Barbara Reinhard, CFA, Portfolio Managers* of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”) — the Sub-Adviser (“Sub-Adviser).
Performance: Each Portfolio’s performance against its respective benchmarks is set out in the table below.
Portfolio Specifics: Over the reporting period, the Portfolios met their performance objectives by minimizing performance deviation relative to their strategic asset allocation benchmarks. Due to the strategic nature of the Portfolios, no tactical asset allocation moves were made during the period. As part of the annual review, we made changes to the strategic asset allocations toward the end of June. Strategic changes included decreasing equities across the portfolios by reducing U.S. large cap equities and, in the Growth Portfolio, emerging market equities. Within fixed income, U.S. core bonds were reduced, and U.S. short-term bonds and high yield were increased across the Portfolios.
The underlying index funds performed as expected, minimizing performance deviation relative to their respective strategic allocation benchmarks before the deduction of fees.
Current Strategy and Outlook: After unexpectedly strong performance from the U.S. economy and capital markets last year, investors enter 2024 more upbeat. While we are encouraged about the progress of inflation and the resiliency of consumers and corporations, we think noticeably slower economic growth, fair to modestly extended valuations and very optimistic forecasts around U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts could limit upside potential for stocks. We see rates markets are providing little room for yields to decline outside a meaningful slowing of economic growth. Despite high expectations, we think global stocks and bonds can produce respectable returns throughout the year. We believe the current setting presents opportunities for allocators to benefit from divergences in global policy, business cycles and pricing of risk. In this macro environment, we emphasize balance in the Portfolios, but believe U.S. exceptionalism is set to persist.
The disinflationary process continues as decongested supply chain issues and slowing demand forces have accounted for most of the recent relief. We see more downside from factors such as shelter, and weaker wage growth as the lagged impact of tighter monetary policy further filters into the labor market, where there are early signs of weakness — such as declining job openings and quits. However, we do not expect significant deterioration in the labor market. Limited private sector overreach and rising real incomes from falling inflation should keep the growth downturn mild.
In our opinion, U.S. equities may continue to outperform other countries and regions, driven by their higher growth potential, proactive corporate rightsizing and robust earnings from unrivaled software innovation. We continue to be cautious on Europe as we believe the region’s cyclical gearing and relatively high interest rate sensitivity has made the sting from tighter policy more broadly felt. Europe is also more exposed to energy supply shocks and external demand from China, which is struggling. Exports have plunged, due in part to U.S. companies’ efforts to re-shore or move offshore manufacturing elsewhere. Furthermore, China’s real estate sector, their main growth engine, is in our opinion, in freefall. We are mindful that sentiment is beaten down and look for signs that the Chinese authorities will implement coordinated policy action before shifting stances.

* Effective May 1, 2023, Lanyon Blair, CFA was added as a portfolio manager to the Portfolios. In addition, effective December 31, 2023, Paul Zemsky retired from Voya Investment Management Co. LLC and is no longer a portfolio manager to the Portfolios.
(1) The investment objective of each Portfolio is described in the Portfolios’ prospectuses, each dated May 1, 2023.
The views expressed in this commentary are informed opinions. They should not be considered promises or advice. The views expressed reflect those of the portfolio managers, only through the end of the period as stated on the cover. The portfolio managers’ views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. Fund holdings are subject to change daily. The outlook for this Fund may differ from that presented for other Voya mutual funds. This report contains statements that may be “forward-looking” statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the “forward-looking” statements. The Fund’s performance returns shown reflect applicable fee waivers and/or expense limits in effect during this period. 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. An index has no cash in its portfolio and imposes no sales charges. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

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, 2023 to December 31, 2023. 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 of Voya Retirement Conservative Portfolio, Voya Retirement Growth Portfolio, Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio and Voya Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio and the Board of Trustees of Voya Investors Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Retirement Conservative Portfolio, Voya Retirement Growth Portfolio, Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio and Voya Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio (collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) (four of the portfolios constituting Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios (four of the portfolios constituting Voya Investors Trust) at December 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial highlights for the period ended December 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 26, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Portfolios’ financial statements 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 Trust 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Voya investment companies since 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 3, 1988. The Trust currently consists of twenty-two active separate investment series. The four series (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) included in this report are: Voya Retirement Conservative Portfolio (“Conservative”), Voya Retirement Growth Portfolio (“Growth”), Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio (“Moderate”) and Voya Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio (“Moderate Growth”), each a diversified series of the Trust.
The classes of shares included in this report are: Adviser (“Class ADV”) and Institutional (“Class I”). With the exception of class specific matters, each class has equal voting rights as to voting privileges. For class specific proposals, only the applicable class would have voting privileges. The classes differ principally in the applicable distribution and shareholder service fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/losses from a portfolio pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio or a class are charged directly to that portfolio or class. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if any, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.
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 seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds. The investment objective of the Portfolios is described in the respective Portfolio’s Prospectus.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Each Portfolio is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Portfolio is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The 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.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which 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’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.
When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine 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.
The Portfolios’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.
Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).
Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions in determining fair value).
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants
would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.
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. The Portfolios classify each of their investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when 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. Dividend income received from the Underlying Funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as dividends from underlying funds in the Statements of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recognized on the ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statements of Operations as such. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
C. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Each Portfolio declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, 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.
D. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
E. 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.
F. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT IN UNDERLYING FUNDS
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sales of the Underlying Funds were as follows:
| | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Conservative | | $ | 65,594,881 | | | $ | 96,522,362 | |
Growth | | | 380,964,273 | | | | 521,366,184 | |
Moderate | | | 137,712,428 | | | | 199,842,634 | |
Moderate Growth | | | 215,344,893 | | | | 301,252,880 | |
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Portfolios have entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Portfolios. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment management and portfolio management services for the Portfolios and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Portfolios, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. This Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on: 0.24% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets invested in affiliated Underlying Funds and 0.34% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets invested in unaffiliated Underlying Funds and/or other direct investments.
The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM with respect to each Portfolio. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Portfolios and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of each respective Portfolio. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages the Portfolios’ assets in accordance with the Portfolios’ investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
The Trust has entered into a shareholder service and distribution plan (the “Agreement”) for the Class ADV shares of each Portfolio. The Agreement compensates the Distributor for the provision of shareholder services and/or account maintenance services and the distribution of shares to direct or indirect beneficial owners of Class ADV shares. Under the Agreement, each Portfolio makes payments to the Distributor a shareholder service fee of 0.25% and a distribution fee of 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class ADV shares. The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive 0.2480%, 0.0751%, 0.1587% and 0.1106% of the distribution fee for the Class ADV shares of Conservative, Growth, Moderate and Moderate Growth, respectively. The actual distribution fee to be paid by Conservative, Growth, Moderate and Moderate Growth is at an annual rate of 0.002%, 0.1749%, 0.0913% and 0.1394%, respectively. Any fees waived are not subject to recoupment. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At December 31, 2023, the following direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. owned more than 5% of the following Portfolios:
Subsidiary | | Portfolio | | Percentage |
Voya Institutional Trust Company | | Conservative | | 26.68% |
| | Moderate | | 12.54 |
| | Moderate Growth | | 6.88 |
The Portfolios have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Portfolios. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Portfolios, and will not materially affect the Portfolios’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
The Portfolios may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by each Portfolio were as follows:
Portfolio | | Amount | |
Conservative | | $52,652 | |
Growth | | 42,425 | |

NOTE 7 —EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENTS
The Investment Adviser has entered into a written expense limitation agreement (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) with each Portfolio whereby the Investment Adviser has agreed to limit expenses, excluding interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses and extraordinary expenses to the levels listed below:
Portfolio(1) | | Class ADV | | | Class I | |
Conservative | | 0.92% | | | 0.67% | |
Growth | | 1.07% | | | 0.82% | |
Moderate | | 1.00% | | | 0.75% | |
Moderate Growth | | 1.04% | | | 0.79% | |
(1) | These operating expense limits take into account the operating expenses incurred at the Underlying Fund level. The amount of fees and expenses of an Underlying Fund borne by each Portfolio will vary based on each Portfolio’s allocation of assets to, and the net expenses of, a particular Underlying Fund. |
The Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from a Portfolio for fees waived and/or other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months but only if, after such recoupment, a Portfolio’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees net of any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Adviser are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of December 31, 2023, the Portfolios did not have any amount of waived and/or reimbursed fees that would be subject to possible recoupment.
The Expense Limitation Agreement is contractual through May 1, 2024 and shall renew automatically for one-year terms. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.
NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 12, 2023, the Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 10, 2024. 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 the Portfolio or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to June 12, 2023, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 12, 2023.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance.
The Portfolios did not utilize the line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2023.

NOTE 10 — 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 and wash sale deferrals.
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, 2023 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2022 | |
| | Ordinary Income | | | Long-term Capital Gains | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-term Capital Gains | |

At December 31, 2023, the Portfolios did not have any capital loss carryovers for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal, Arizona state, and Massachusetts state.
As of December 31, 2023, no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Portfolios’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 11 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer-term impacts are still uncertain.
In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the
result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.
NOTE 12 — MARKET DISRUPTION
A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short-or long-term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continueD)
NOTE 12 — MARKET DISRUPTION (continued)
market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including beyond those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could
disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of a Portfolio’s service providers.
NOTE 13 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial statements.
NOTE 14 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Portfolios have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. No such subsequent events were identified.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on November 16, 2023, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Retirement Conservative Portfolio, Voya Retirement Growth Portfolio, Voya Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio, and Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio, each a series of the Trust (the “Portfolios”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “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, 2024.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. 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 has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers,
as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board:
(1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Portfolio’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager or Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.
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 Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure 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
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited) (continUed)
for monitoring the Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions 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 due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that 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 or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis.
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 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 Sub-Adviser under the 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, Inc. (an independent provider of mutual fund data) category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index. 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 Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Portfolio. The Board considered that, while the Portfolios do not have management fee breakpoints, they have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager could be shared with each Portfolio through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions.
Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and 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 Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.
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 proposed 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 related to their services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UnaUdited) (continUed)
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.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser, 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. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide 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. 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 at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings certain additional data regarding each Portfolio’s more 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. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.
Voya Retirement Conservative Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya Retirement Conservative Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2023: (1) the Portfolio is ranked in the first quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, five-year and ten-year periods, the third quintile for the three-year period, and the fourth quintile for the one-year period; and (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented, with the exception of the five-year period, during which it outperformed. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding the competitiveness of the Portfolio’s performance during certain periods; and (2) the changes to the Portfolio’s portfolio management team in May 2023.
In considering the fees payable under the 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 ranked in the fifth quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is ranked in the fifth quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the all-in net expense ratio for the Portfolio, inclusive of the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”), is ranked in the third quintile of all-in net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group, and the net expense ratio for the Portfolio, not inclusive of AFFE, is above the median of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account: (1) that, as reflected in the AFFE, the Portfolio indirectly bears the fees payable by the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests; (2) management’s representations of the limited size of the Portfolio’s Selected Peer Group; and (3) management’s representations regarding its belief that the Portfolio’s pricing is competitive.

Portfolio Managers’ Report | | Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio |
Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to the total return (which includes capital appreciation and income) of an index that measures the investment return of emerging markets securities. The Portfolio is managed by Kai Yee Wong and Steve Wetter, Portfolio Managers of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC – the Sub-Adviser.
Performance*: For the period beginning March 15, 2023, through December 31, 2023, the Portfolio provided a total return of 10.00% compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM (“MSCI EM IndexSM”), which returned 10.70% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics**: The Portfolio employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI EM IndexSM. The Portfolio attempts to track the MSCI EM IndexSM by investing in most of the stocks that make up the MSCI EM IndexSM. The stocks are chosen using statistical techniques so as to minimize the anticipated tracking error to the MSCI EM IndexSM. This approach is employed because of the relatively large number of small and/or illiquid stocks in the MSCI EM IndexSM. The Portfolio may not always hold all of the same securities as the MSCI EM IndexSM.
While all regions generated positive returns for the reporting period, absolute performance was strongest in Latin America and Europe and weakest in Africa/Pacific ex Japan.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio invests principally in equity securities and employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI EM IndexSM.
* The Portfolio’s net return may at times appear to diverge from the return of its benchmark index more than would be expected. These divergences may, in part, be the result of fair-value pricing adjustments to certain foreign securities as well as other pricing policies. In accordance with the Portfolio's Valuation Policy, fair-value pricing adjustments may be used to address pricing discrepancies that arise due to time-zone differences. Foreign securities may trade on exchanges that close many hours before the Portfolio’s closing share price is calculated in the United States, generally at 4 p.m., Eastern Time. In the hours between the foreign close and the U.S. close, the value of these foreign securities may change—because of company specific announcements or marketwide developments. Such price changes are not immediately reflected in international index values. Fair-value pricing takes such changes into account in calculating the Portfolio’s daily net asset value (“NAV”), so that the NAV doesn’t include “stale” prices. The result can be a temporary divergence between the return of the Portfolio and that of its benchmark index. The Portfolio also translates local prices to U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates at the time the NAV is calculated whereas the index does not.

The Portfolio’s performance returns shown reflect applicable fee waivers and/or expense limits in effect during this period. 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. An index has no cash in its portfolio and imposes no sales charges.

Portfolio Specifics**: The Portfolio employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the Russell 2000® Index. The Portfolio attempts to track the Russell 2000® Index by principally investing in most of the stocks that make up the Russell 2000® Index. The stocks are chosen using statistical techniques so as to minimize the anticipated tracking error to the Russell 2000® Index. This approach is employed because of the relatively large number of small and/or illiquid stocks in the Russell 2000® Index. The Portfolio may not always hold all of the same securities as the Russell 2000® Index.
For the reporting period, absolute performance was strongest within industrials, information technology and consumer staples sectors. By contrast, utilities and communication services sectors were the bottom absolute performing sectors posting negative returns for the reporting period.

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, 2023 to December 31, 2023. 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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio, Voya VACS Index Series I Portfolio, Voya VACS Index Series MC Portfolio, Voya VACS Index Series SC Portfolio and Voya VACS Index Series S Portfolio (collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) (four funds constituting Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. and one fund constituting Voya Investors Trust, respectively (collectively referred to as the “Registrants”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios at December 31, 2023 and the results of their operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Registrants’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements 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 Registrants 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 are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Registrants are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act” or “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on June 4, 1996. There are eighteen active separate investment series that comprise the Company. The four series (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”) included in this report are: Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio (“Series EM”), Voya VACS Index Series I Portfolio (“Series I”), Voya VACS Index Series MC Portfolio (“Series MC”), and Voya VACS Index Series SC Portfolio (“Series SC”), each a diversified series of the Company. Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”) is registered as an open- end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 3, 1988. The Trust consists of twenty-two active separate investment series. This report is for Voya VACS Index Series S Portfolio (“Series S”), a diversified series of the Trust. Each of the series is referred to as a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios.” The investment objective of the Portfolios is described in the respective Portfolio’s Prospectus. The Portfolios’ shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) because the shares are issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act. Investments in a Fund may only be made by “accredited investors,” within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act. The Portfolios do not have a share class designation. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/losses from a portfolio. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio are charged directly to that portfolio. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets. 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”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the sub-adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios. | | NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under the 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 is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange- traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of each Portfolio is calculated by taking the value of each Portfolio’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting each 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. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open- end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which 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’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close. When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of |

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine 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.
The Portfolios’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.
Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).
Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions in determining fair value).
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input
levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgement used in determining those values.
A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.
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-advisers’ or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. The Portfolios classify each of their investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when 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 |

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 each Portfolios’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments, which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets. D. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all | | of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of a Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized. The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain. F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. G. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Portfolios’ investment strategies permit the Portfolios to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, a Portfolio will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow the 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 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 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 rising 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. Each 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 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 over-the-counter (“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 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. A Portfolio intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, a Portfolio enters 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. 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 its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that a Portfolio will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s net assets and/or a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s NAV, which could cause a Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within each Portfolio’s Master Agreements. There was no open OTC derivatives at December 31, 2023 for any Portfolio. H. Futures Contracts. Each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Each Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts. Futures contracts traded | | on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Portfolio’s assets are valued. Upon entering into a futures contract, each 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 the Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Open futures contracts are reported on a table following each Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are footnoted in the Portfolio of Investments, if any. Cash collateral held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in each Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. Futures contracts are purchased to provide immediate market exposure proportionate to the size of each Portfolio’s respective cash flows and residual cash balances in order to decrease potential tracking error if the cash remained uninvested in the market. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Portfolios are unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Portfolios’ 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 period ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolios had average notional values on futures contracts purchased as disclosed below. |

Please refer to the tables within each respective Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts as of December 31, 2023.
I. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio may temporarily loan up to 33⅓% 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.
J. 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.
K. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust and the Company may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s and the Company’s, as applicable, 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 risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Investment Adviser provides the Portfolios with advisory and administrative services under a management agreement (the “Unified Agreement”). Under the Unified Agreements, the Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for engaging sub-advisers and for monitoring and evaluating the management of the assets of each Portfolio. Sub-advisers have full investment discretion and make all determinations with respect to the investment of a Portfolio’s assets and the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and other investments. Pursuant to this Unified Agreement, the Investment Adviser is also responsible for providing or procuring, at the Investment Adviser’s expense, the services reasonably necessary for the ordinary operation of each Portfolio, including, among other things, custodial, administrative, transfer agency, portfolio accounting, auditing, affiliated recordkeeping services and ordinary legal expenses. As compensation for its services under the Unified Agreement, the Company/Trust pays the Investment Adviser a monthly fee (a “Unified Fee”) of 0.15% based on the annual rates of the average daily net assets of the Portfolios.
The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM with respect to each Portfolio. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Portfolios and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of each respective Portfolio. Subject to

The Portfolios have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent directors, 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 under the DC Plan, the
amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the director/ trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the directors'/ trustees' deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of 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.
The Portfolios may engage in purchase and sale transactions with fund’s that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), a common sub- adviser and/ or common officers or trustees. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Series I, Series MC, Series SC, and Series S engaged in such transactions amounting to $971,761,832, $324,959,617, $323,491,160, and $3,104,571,486 of in-kind purchases, respectively.
NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 12, 2023, the Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 10, 2024. 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 the Portfolio or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to June 12, 2023, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 12, 2023.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance.
The following Portfolios utilized the line of credit during the period ended December 31, 2023:

NOTE 8 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Portfolios 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 investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Portfolios indemnification from loss with respect to the investment
of collateral to the extent the cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in cash equivalents, money market funds, repurchase agreements with maturities of not more than 99 days that are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, or certain short-term investments that have a remaining maturity of 190 days or less (“Permitted Investments”). Short-term investments include: securities, units, shares or other participations in short-term investment funds, pools or trusts; commercial paper, notes, bonds or other debt obligations, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other bank obligations and asset-backed commercial paper backed by diversified receivables and repurchase- backed programs. Permitted Investments are subject to certain guidelines established by the Adviser regarding liquidity, diversification, credit quality and average credit life/duration requirements. The securities purchased with
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)
NOTE 8 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)
cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Short-Term Investments.
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 its right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a portfolio.
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, 2023:

NOTE 9 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of foreign currency transactions, futures contracts, income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), and wash sale deferrals.
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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)
NOTE 9 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (continued)
The Portfolios have paid no dividends or distributions to shareholders during the initial period ended December 31, 2023.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the capital loss carryforwards which may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2023 were:

The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal, Arizona state, and Massachusetts state (Series S).
As of December 31, 2023, no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios' financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Portfolios' federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 10 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE
(“LIBOR”)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer- term impacts are still uncertain.
In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision)
(EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.
NOTE 11 — MARKET DISRUPTION
A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long- term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)
NOTE 11 — MARKET DISRUPTION (continued)
default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including beyond those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect
individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of a Portfolio’s service providers.
NOTE 12 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial statements.
NOTE 13 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Portfolios have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. No such subsequent events were identified.

# | The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |
+ | 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 fair valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 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 Fund may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments. |
| + | 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 fair valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument. OTC swaps and written options are valued at the fair value of the instrument. |

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, 2023, the Boards of Directors/Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”) and Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio, Voya VACS Index Series I Portfolio, Voya VACS Index Series MC Portfolio and Voya VACS Index Series SC Portfolio, each a series of the Company, and Voya VACS Index Series S Portfolio, a series of the Trust (the “Portfolios”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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 Company or Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “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, 2024. In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Directors/Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. 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 has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Directors/Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, | | and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers. The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which 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 to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. 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; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Directors/Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds. The Manager or Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations. Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration. 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 Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers. The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the |
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
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 Sub-Advisers’ investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions 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 due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that 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 or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser. Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Company and the Trust evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis. 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 Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate. Portfolio Performance In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board focuses on the reasonableness of the differences between the Portfolio’s net performance and the total return of the index that the Portfolio seeks to track over certain time periods. The Board considered that the Portfolios had limited performance history as each was launched in early 2023 and that it was reasonable to provide more time for the purpose of evaluating the Portfolio’s performance. | | 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. Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and 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 Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences. 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 and which additional services the Manager pays for on behalf of the Portfolios under the “bundled fee” arrangement in return for a single management fee (“Unified Fee Structure”). 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. 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 related to their services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates 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. |
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub- Adviser, 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. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks. The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya- affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide 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. 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-Advisers’ potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable. Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. 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. With respect to the quartile rankings noted below, the first quartile represents the range of funds with the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fourth quartile represents the range of funds with the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable. Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio, the | | Board considered that the Portfolio had limited performance history as it was launched in March 2023. In considering the fees payable under the 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 ranked in the second quartile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is ranked in the second quartile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is ranked in the first quartile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding the expense borne by the Manager for the provision of services by certain third parties to the Portfolio, such as transfer agency, custody, accounting, and legal services, pursuant to the Portfolio’s Unified Fee Structure. Voya VACS Index Series I Portfolio In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya VACS Index Series I Portfolio, the Board considered that the Portfolio had limited performance history as it was launched in February 2023. In considering the fees payable under the 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 ranked in the first quartile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is ranked in the first quartile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is ranked in the first quartile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding the expense borne by the Manager for the provision of services by certain third parties to the Portfolio, such as transfer agency, custody, accounting, and legal services, pursuant to the Portfolio’s Unified Fee Structure. |

Voya VACS Index Series MC Portfolio In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya VACS Index Series MC Portfolio, the Board considered that the Portfolio had limited performance history as it was launched in January 2023.

(e)(1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures |
Appendix A
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY
I. | Statement of Principles |
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or Trustees (the “Committee”) of the Voya funds (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”) set out on Exhibit A to this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (“Policy”) is responsible for the oversight of the work of the Funds’ independent auditors. As part of its responsibilities, the Committee must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the auditors in order to assure that the provision of these services does not impair the auditors’ independence from the Funds. The Committee has adopted, and the Board has ratified, this Policy, which sets out the procedures and conditions under which the services of the independent auditors may be pre-approved.
Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules promulgated in accordance with the Act, the Funds may establish two different approaches to pre-approving audit and non-audit services. The Committee may approve services without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approval”) or it may pre-approve specific services (“specific pre-approval”). The Committee believes that the combination of these approaches contemplated in this Policy results in an effective and efficient method for pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Funds’ independent auditors. Under this Policy, services that are not of a type that may receive general pre-approval require specific pre-approval by the Committee. Any proposed services that exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require the Committee’s specific pre-approval.
For both types of approval, the Committee considers whether the subject services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and that such services are compatible with maintaining the auditors independence. The Committee also considers whether a particular audit firm is in the best position to provide effective and efficient services to the Funds. Reasons that the auditors are in the best position include the auditors’ familiarity with the Funds’ business, personnel, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the services will enhance the Funds’ ability to manage and control risk or improve audit quality. Such factors will be considered as a whole, with no one factor being determinative.
The appendices attached to this Policy describe the audit, audit-related, tax-related, and other services that have the Committee’s general pre-approval. For any service that has been approved through general pre-approval, the general pre-approval will remain in place for a period 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditors without specific pre-approval. The Committee will revise the list of services subject to general pre-approval as appropriate. This Policy does not serve as a delegation to Fund management of the Committee’s duty to pre-approve services performed by the Funds’ independent auditors.
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-CEN 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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
