PRESIDENT’S LETTER
[MISSING IMAGE: ph_dina-santoro.jpg]
As the Pandemic Recedes, the Economy Keeps Growing
Dear Shareholder,
Since April, investors have evinced concern about the prospect of inflation taking off as the global economy regroups from its COVID-19 knockdown. Market participants have been weighing better-than-expected corporate earnings against the potential for higher-than-expected inflation. As a result, bond and stock markets alike have experienced bouts of volatility. Over the one-year period covered in this report, however, stocks delivered strong performance, whereas fixed income asset classes produced mixed results. In mid-June, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) concluded its regular meeting at which U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) officials review current economic and labor market conditions and decided whether they should adjust monetary policy in response to those conditions. As expected, the FOMC upgraded its assessment of economic conditions and continued to describe the increase of inflation as largely transitory. Though we believe there is still uncertainty about the future path of interest rates, the FOMC reiterated that its current policy stances will remain in place until the Fed sees substantial further progress towards its goal of full employment.
In our opinion, the financial markets have shown remarkable strength despite the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks largely to massive U.S. government stimulus. During 2020, equity market returns were largely driven by defensive, pandemic-protected businesses. In 2021, we anticipate higher corporate profits, particularly from cyclical sectors of the market, i.e., those which generally benefit the most during economic recovery. Positive economic data keep rolling in, and the outlook for 2021 economic growth continues to improve, in our view. Significant savings built up during the pandemic, coupled with massive fiscal stimulus, have ignited a consumption boom that we believe is still expanding. Underscoring this point, reported first-quarter corporate earnings greatly exceeded expectations. We believe that the global economy also should grow at a faster than usual pace, though regional progress is likely to be uneven due to different rates of COVID-19 infections and vaccinations. Nevertheless, we believe the overall trajectory is up, which is a positive for financial assets.
While, in our view, the economy and financial markets are upholding their recent strength and expected to continue doing so this year, there is always the potential for a game-changing surprise. Therefore, it bears repeating that we believe one should invest to achieve one’s long-term goals, and not seek to beat the market today, this week, this month or this year. It is our view that you should keep focused on your long-term goals and don’t get distracted by short-term news, however compelling the headlines. Should your long-term goals change, discuss the situation thoroughly with your financial advisor before making any changes to your investment portfolio.
Regardless of events, at Voya we remain well prepared for and fully committed to serving our clients without disruption. We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
Sincerely,

Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Jeffrey Bianchi, CFA, Michael Pytosh, and Kristy Finnegan, CFA, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 31.23% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the “Index” or “Russell 1000® Growth”), which returned 39.92% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index, primarily due to unfavorable stock selection. On the sector level, stock selection within the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors detracted the most from performance. At the individual stock level, key detractors included not owning Tesla Inc., an underweight allocation to Apple Inc. and an overweight position in Humana Inc. By contrast, stock selection within the consumer staples and materials sectors contributed the most to performance. Key individual stock contributors included owning a non-benchmark position in Snap, Inc., and overweight positions in Lam Research Corporation and Expedia Group, Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Since April, investors have evinced concern about the prospect of inflation taking off as the global economy regroups from its COVID-19 pandemic knockdown. Market participants have been weighing better than expected corporate earnings against the potential for higher than expected inflation. As a result, bond and stock markets alike have experienced bouts of volatility. Recently, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) concluded its June meeting; as expected,

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 48.66% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “Index” or “Russell 1000® Value”), which returned 44.38% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index due to security selection. On the sector level, stock selection within information technology, communication services and consumer staples sectors had the largest positive impact on performance. At the individual stock level, key contributors included not owning Intel Corporation, an information technology company, and overweight positions in United Rentals, Inc. and Timken Company, which both fall within the industrials sector. By contrast, stock selection within the health care and financials sectors detracted from performance.

Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 43.16% compared to the Russell Midcap® Growth Index and the Russell Midcap® Index, which returned 37.78% and 50.29%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Russell Midcap® Growth Index primarily due to favorable stock selection. On the sector level, stock selection within the health care and information technology sectors contributed the most to performance. On an individual stock level basis, key contributors included overweight positions in Quanta Services, Inc., NovoCure Ltd. and Lam Research Corporation. On a sector level, stock selection within the communication services and real estate sectors had the least positive impact on performance. On an individual stock level basis, key detractors were not owning a position in Moderna, Inc., and overweight positions in RingCentral, Inc. and BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Since April, investors have evinced concern about the prospect of inflation taking off as the global economy regroups from its COVID-19 pandemic knockdown. Market participants have been weighing better than expected corporate earnings against the potential for higher than expected inflation. As a result, bond and stock markets alike have experienced bouts of volatility.

Nevertheless, we believe the overall trajectory is up, which is a positive for financial assets.
As a disciplined manager, we remain true to our investment process regardless of the market environment, investing in companies that we believe have strong fundamentals and attractive relative valuations.

Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by three sub-advisers — Hahn Capital Management, LLC (“Hahn Capital Management”), LSV Asset Management (“LSV”) and Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“VIM”) (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). Each Sub-Adviser manages a portion of the Fund’s assets (each a “Sleeve”) that is allocated to each Sub-Adviser. The following individuals are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of their respective Sleeve: John D. Schaeffer and Michael Whitfield, CFA, Portfolio Managers of Hahn Capital Management; Josef Lakonishok, Ph.D., Menno Vermeulen, CFA, Guy Lakonishok, CFA, Greg Sleight and Puneet Mansharamani, CFA, Portfolio Managers of LSV; and Steve Wetter and Kai Yee Wong, Portfolio Managers of VIM.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 56.34% compared to the Russell Midcap® Value Index (the “Index” or “Russell Midcap® Value”), which returned 56.61%, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Hahn Capital Management Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the Russell Midcap® Value by approximately 721 basis points (-7.21%) for the year ended May 31, 2021. During the period, the Sleeve’s performance benefited from its relative overweight to the financials, and information technology sectors and to its relative underweight in the utilities, consumer staples, and industrial sectors. The primary sector detractors were materials, healthcare, real estate, energy and real

estate, consumer discretionary and communication services. The best stock performance came from Albemarle (“ALB”), SLM Corp (“SLM”), PVH Corp, CBRE Group (“CBRE”), and Emcore Group (“EME”). The leading detractors from performance were Ross Stores (“ROST”), Carter’s (“CRI”), Roper Technologies, SEI Investments, and Equinix.
Generally, the outperformers reflected company-specific factors (SLM, CBRE, and EME) as well as certain secular themes (ALB and EME), while the underperformers reflected changing industry dynamics and resulting operational performance. During the period, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the underperformers. For example, lockdown restrictions imposing store closures and or limited capacities across their respective footprints significantly impacted ROST and CRI. We continue to believe investment in high-quality companies is the appropriate strategy regardless of the environment.
LSV Sleeve — The Sleeve outperformed the Russell Midcap® Value by approximately 1,166 basis points (11.66%) for the year ended May 31, 2021. For the reporting period, the LSV Sleeve outperformed the Index as the positive vaccine news late in 2020 coupled with news of additional fiscal stimulus prompted a shift in market leadership away from ‘growth’ stocks that had fared well throughout the pandemic and into ‘value’ stocks. The Russell Midcap® Value outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth® Index by 17.4% over the period. The LSV Sleeve rebounded amidst the rotation as the portfolio’s deep value bias and smaller capitalization tilt versus the benchmark were contributing factors. Stock selection was additive overall but particularly so in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. Discretionary holdings such as Sleep Number, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Whirlpool, Gap, Kohl’s, Dillards and Foot Locker added significantly to relative results while semi-conductor company LAM Research was one of the biggest contributors during the period. Selection was also strong in the Industrials, financials and health care sectors. The Sleeve’s sector positioning, which is a residual of our model’s bottom-up stock selection process, had a positive effect overall, largely due to the positive impact of an underweight to utilities and overweights to financials and consumer discretionary stocks. An overweight to consumer staples stocks detracted. Despite the recent rebound for inexpensive stocks, valuation spreads between value and growth stocks remain historically wide.

Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund Portfolio Managers’ Report
VIM Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the Russell Midcap® Value by approximately 1,645 basis points (-16.45%) for the year ended May 31, 2021. The Sleeve also underperformed its internal benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Select Factor Index (“RMID Index”), by an estimated 59 basis points (0.59%). The Sleeve employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the (“RMID Index”). For the reporting period, the Sleeve generally tracked the RMID Index, but diverged from it somewhat by holding shares of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) and a modest, operational cash position.
The cash position was a significant drag on results during a period characterized by strongly rising stock markets. Other detractors from relative results included security selection within the real estate sector and the Sleeve’s modest underweight of the information technology sector. At the individual security level, detractors included lack of exposure to Apartment Income REIT Corp, and underweights of IAC/InteractiveCorp and SYNNEX Corporation. By contrast, contributors included modest underweights in the health care and consumer staples sectors. At the individual security level, contributors included a non-index position in the iShares Russell Mid-cap ETF, as well as lack of exposure to Match Group Distro and Vimeo, Inc.
Current Strategy & Outlook: Hahn Capital Management Sleeve — We are approaching the expected termination of extended unemployment benefits as well as renters’ eviction moratoria, which have been in place for over a year. Various data and reports suggest that the unemployment benefits have led to many recipients intentionally remaining out of the labor force, despite strong job opening growth as states across the country lift business restrictions. The upshot has been pressuring wages as businesses, particularly small businesses, compete for labor. At the same time, supply chains have been impacted and producing price have been rising at elevated levels. Consequently, inflation rates have risen to levels not seen in a decade. Where inflation falls on the spectrum of transitory-to-permanent may dictate the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s stance on interest rates and thus have material impact on stock valuations. In our opinion, we would expect employment and inflation data to yield incremental volatility as we traverse calendar 2021.
LSV Sleeve — The LSV Sleeve remains diversified across sectors and continues to trade at a significant discount to the overall market as well as to the Index. Fund valuations are 12.4 times forward earnings estimates and 9.6 times trailing cash flow compared to 19.6 times earnings and 16.8 times cash flow for the benchmark. The Sleeve also has a dividend yield of 2.1% compared to 1.6% for the Index. We continue to believe and empirical evidence supports that holding portfolios of deeply discounted stocks pays off well in the long-run and in the short-run is not necessarily highly correlated with market direction.
VIM Sleeve — Voya IM employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the RMID Index.

Voya SmallCap Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by James Hasso and Joseph Basset, CFA, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021 the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 41.40% compared to the Russell 2000® Growth Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which returned 50.14% and 64.56%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Russell 2000® Growth Index due to stock selection effects. On the sector level, stock selection within the health care equipment and services and software and services sectors detracted the most from performance. On an individual stock level basis, key detractors included our positioning in Plug Power Inc., and overweight positions in Strategic Education, Inc. and Haemonetics Corporation. Positive stock selection occurred most notably within the industrial materials and banks sectors. On an individual stock level basis, key contributors included overweight positions in MyoKardia, Inc. and FuelCell Energy, Inc., and owning a non-benchmark position in Signature Bank.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Since April, investors have evinced concern about the prospect of inflation taking off as the global economy regroups from its COVID-19 knockdown. Market participants have been weighing better than expected corporate earnings against the potential for higher than expected inflation. As a result, bond and stock markets alike have experienced bouts of volatility. Recently, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) concluded its June meeting; as expected, the FOMC upgraded its assessment of economic conditions and continued to describe the increase of inflation as largely transitory. The FOMC also reiterated that current policy stances will continue until it sees substantial further progress towards the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s goal of full employment.
In our view, the financial markets have shown remarkable strength despite the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks largely to

massive U.S. government stimulus. During 2020, equity market returns were driven largely by defensive, pandemic-protected businesses. In 2021, we anticipate higher corporate profits, particularly from cyclical sectors of the market, i.e., those which generally benefit most during economic recovery. Positive economic data keep rolling in, and the outlook for 2021 economic growth continues to improve, in our opinion. Significant savings built up during the pandemic, coupled with massive fiscal stimulus, have ignited a consumption boom that we believe is still expanding. Underscoring this point, reported first-quarter corporate earnings greatly exceeded expectations. We believe the global economy also should grow at a faster than usual pace, though regional progress is likely to be uneven due to different rates of COVID-19 infections and vaccinations. Nevertheless, we believe the overall trajectory is up, which is a positive for financial assets.

Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund* (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return. The Fund is managed by Vincent Costa, CFA, Steve Wetter, Peg DiOrio, CFA, and Kai Yee Wong, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021 the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 32.50% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index (the “Index” or “Russell 1000® Value”) and the Russell 1000® Index, which returned 44.38% and 42.66%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index. In terms of the Fund’s performance, low beta was the primary detractor for the strategy followed by the core model. The smaller market capitalization and dividend yield contributed to relative results. On the sector level, stock selection and underweights in the financials and industrials sectors detracted from performance, along with selection and overweight to health care. By contrast, Fund holdings within the information technology sector had the largest positive impact on performance, but this was partially offset by the negative allocation effect from the overweight. Fund holdings within the utilities sector also had a positive impact. At the individual stock level, key detractors for the period were an overweight to Merck & Co., Inc., exposure to non-benchmark stock Lockheed Martin Corporation and an underweight in Bank of America Corp. Key contributors for the period included exposure to

Current Strategy and Outlook: This is an actively managed investment strategy that seeks to generate higher dividend income and total returns, with lower volatility and better downside capture, than the Index. We believe the investment process seeks to create a universe of sustainable dividend-paying stocks and utilizes fundamentally driven sector-specific alpha models to identify the most attractive stocks within each sector. The Fund is then optimized to achieve its dividend, maximize prospective alpha and volatility objectives.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund 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 Fund’s performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.
The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund 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.
Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. Please log on to www.voyainvestments.com or call (800) 992-0180 to get performance through the most recent month end.
Fund holdings are subject to change daily.

Reflects deduction of the maximum Class A sales charge of 5.75%.
(2)
Class R6 incepted on September 30, 2019. 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 Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021. Each Fund’s expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund, Voya Large Cap Value Fund, Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund, Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund, Voya SmallCap Opportunities Fund, and Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund and the Board of Trustees of Voya Equity Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund, Voya Large Cap Value Fund, Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund, Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund, Voya SmallCap Opportunities Fund, and Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) (six of the funds constituting Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of May 31, 2021, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two 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 Funds (six of the funds constituting Voya Equity Trust) at May 31, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial highlights for each of the periods in the three-year period ended May 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated July 25, 2019, 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 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 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 May 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end investment management company. The Trust was organized on June 12, 1998 and consists of ten separate active investment series. This report is for: Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund (“Large-Cap Growth”), Voya Large Cap Value Fund (“Large Cap Value”), Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund (“MidCap Opportunities”), Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund (“Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value”), Voya SmallCap Opportunities Fund (“SmallCap Opportunities”), and Voya U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility Fund (“U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility”) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Fund offers at least three or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I, Class P, Class P3, Class R, Class R6, and Class W. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees (if any), shareholder servicing fees (if any) and transfer agency fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from a fund pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a fund or a class are charged directly to that fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.
Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after purchase.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Funds. Voya Investments has engaged Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”), a Delaware limited liability company, to serve as sub-adviser to certain of the Funds. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a
Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Funds.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Each Fund is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Fund is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The data reflected on the consolidated tape provided by the CTA is generated by various market centers, including all securities exchanges, electronic communications networks, and third-market broker-dealers. The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when a Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced and a Fund does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent a Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when a Fund does not price its shares, the value of a Fund’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Fund.
Assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, if such price is not available, at the last sale price as of the Market Close for such security provided by the CTA. Bank loans are valued at the average of the averages of the bid and ask prices provided to an independent loan pricing service by brokers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade
35

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
When a market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, each Fund will determine a fair value for the relevant asset in accordance with procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”). Such procedures provide, for example, that: (a) Exchange-traded securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask; (b) Debt obligations are valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, benchmark yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data; (c) Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued based on prices provided by independent pricing services or market makers; (d) Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source using an industry accepted model, such as Black-Scholes; (e) Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (f) OTC swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (g) Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Such prices from the third party pricing service are for specific settlement periods and each Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent period reported by the independent pricing service; and (h) Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by brokers.
The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which each Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Foreign securities’ (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close. If market quotations are available and believed to be reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. An independent pricing service
determines the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of Market Close. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be valued by the independent pricing service using pricing models designed to estimate likely changes in the values of those securities between the times in which the trading in those securities is substantially completed and Market Close. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining the value of such securities and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures.
All other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable (or if the above fair valuation methods are unavailable or determined to be unreliable) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board following procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated to the Investment Adviser responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Funds’ valuation procedures; a “Pricing Committee” comprised of employees of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates has responsibility for applying the fair valuation methods set forth in the procedures and, if a fair valuation cannot be determined pursuant to the fair valuation methods, determining the fair value of assets held by the Funds. Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine each Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in each Fund.
Each investment asset or liability of a Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the sub-adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing
36

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolios of Investments.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.
B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1)
Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.
(2)
Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on each Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.
D. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds’ investment strategies permit them to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly, and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.
In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Fund may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:
Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes 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,
37

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objectives.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that a Fund invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by a Fund through foreign currency exchange transactions.
Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.
Interest Rate Risk. With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a low interest rate environment, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. For a fund that invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential changes in government policy may affect interest rates.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Funds’ use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market or credit risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market or credit risk factors for securities held by the Funds, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by a Fund. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on a Fund and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investments, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose a Fund to the risk of improper valuation.
Generally, derivatives are sophisticated financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset or assets. Derivatives include, among other things, swap agreements, options, forwards and futures. Investments in derivatives are generally negotiated OTC with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Fund to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.
Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. The
38

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Funds’ derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Funds intend to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that they believe to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, the Funds generally enter into master netting arrangements, established within the Funds’ International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by the Funds and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.
The Funds may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate credit risk associated with OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from the Funds is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.
The Funds have credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Funds. Credit related contingent features are established between the Funds and their derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Funds will not fulfill their payment obligations to their counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Fund’s net assets and/or a percentage decrease in a Fund’s NAV, which could cause a Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within the Funds’ Master Agreements.
There were no open OTC derivatives for any Fund as of May 31, 2021.
E. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Each Fund declares and pays dividends, if any, as follows:
Annually
Quarterly
Large-Cap Growth
MidCap Opportunities
Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value
SmallCap Opportunities
Large Cap Value
U.S. High Dividend Low Volatility
Each Fund distributes capital gains, if any, annually. The Funds may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.
F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of 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 Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain for income tax purposes.
G. 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.
H. Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan securities representing up to 33 13% of its total assets (except Large-Cap Growth which may temporarily lend up to 30% of its total assets) to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. Securities lending involves two primary risks: “investment risk” and “borrower default risk.” When lending securities, the Funds will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Funds will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Funds will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Securities lending may result in
39

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Funds to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Funds’ other risks.
I. Restricted Securities. Each Fund may invest in restricted securities which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual 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.
J. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

The Investment Adviser may direct the Funds’ sub-advisers to use their best efforts (subject to obtaining best execution of each transaction) to allocate a Fund’s equity security transactions through certain designated broker-dealers. The designated broker-dealer, in turn, will reimburse a portion of the brokerage commissions to pay certain expenses of that Fund. Any amounts credited to the Funds are reflected as brokerage commission recapture in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES (continued)
The Funds have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Funds. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Funds 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 Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Funds, and will not materially affect the Funds’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
The Funds may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended May 31, 2021, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by each Fund were as follows:

NOTE 9 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective May 14, 2021, each Fund, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 30-day extension of the 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 14, 2021. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of a Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to May 14, 2021, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through May 14, 2021.
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 11 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the Market Close of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Funds indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral 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 Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred.
46

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)
The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a fund.
The following table represents a summary of the respective Fund’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under the Agreement as of May 31, 2021:

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and wash sale deferrals.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

The Funds’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.
As of May 31, 2021 no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 13 — LITIGATION
On September 24, 2012, certain Voya mutual funds, including Large Cap Value (the “Subject Fund”), were officially served and included as shareholder defendants in the matter of Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of the Tribune Company v. FitzSimons, et al. (the “FitzSimons Action”). The FitzSimons Action arises from the Tribune Company (“Tribune”) Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).
In the FitzSimons Action, the plaintiff (a litigation trustee appointed by the Bankruptcy Court, the “Trustee”) alleges that Tribune acted with actual intent to defraud its creditors when it redeemed its shares from shareholders as part of a leveraged buy-out (“LBO”) of Tribune through which it converted to a privately-held company in 2007, and that those share transfers must now be unwound. To succeed on this claim, the Trustee must prove that Tribune — not
the Subject Fund — acted with actual fraudulent intent when Tribune redeemed its shares. With regard to the Subject Fund, the Trustee need only show that the Subject Fund tendered its shares as part of the LBO and not on the open market. The Subject Fund’s lack of fraudulent intent in tendering its shares is not a defense to the Trustee’s actual fraud claim.
In addition to the FitzSimons Action, various additional actions, which also included the Subject Fund as a defendant, stemming from the same facts and circumstances underlying the FitzSimons Action, were filed in multiple U.S. District Courts (collectively, the “State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases”). The plaintiffs in the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases (former creditors of Tribune) allege that these same share redemptions that were part of the LBO were constructively, as opposed to actually, fraudulent. Specifically, those suits assert that the LBO rendered Tribune insolvent, that there was not reasonably equivalent value for the redemptions, and therefore the redemptions are voidable under constructive fraudulent transfer law.
Procedural History of the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases
A motion was filed with the Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) Panel to consolidate the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases for purposes of all pretrial proceedings. On December 19, 2011, the MDL Panel ordered the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer
48

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 13 — LITIGATION (continued)
Cases to be transferred to the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”).
On September 23, 2013, the District Court dismissed the claims against the shareholder defendants, holding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to pursue the claims so long as the Trustee in the FitzSimons Action maintained the actual fraudulent transfer claims in the FitzSimons case against the same shareholders.
On December 20, 2013, the plaintiffs appealed the decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Second Circuit”). The Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal on March 24, 2016. The Second Circuit held that Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code barred the state-law fraudulent constructive transfer claims, finding that the claims were preempted because they conflict with the purpose of Section 546(e). On April 12, 2016, the plaintiffs moved for rehearing en banc in the Second Circuit; the motion was subsequently denied. The plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court (the “Supreme Court”) on September 9, 2016. The shareholder defendants filed their opposition on October 24, 2016, to which the plaintiffs filed a reply on November 4, 2016.
On February 27, 2018, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Merit Management Group v. FTI Consulting (“Merit Management”), a case that, like Tribune, deals with the appropriate scope of section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. On April 3, 2018, the Supreme Court issued a “statement” from two justices announcing that consideration of plaintiffs’ certiorari petition would be deferred for an undetermined period of time to “allow” the Second Circuit or the District Court to consider, among other things, whether the Second Circuit’s March 2016 decision should be vacated in light of Merit Management. On April 10, 2018, the plaintiffs asked the Second Circuit to vacate its prior decision and remand to the District Court for further proceedings. The shareholder defendants filed an opposition on April 20, 2018. On May 15, 2018, the Second Circuit entered an order recalling the mandate “in anticipation of further panel review.” The order did not provide any specific timing for, or guidance on, next steps.
Following the Second Circuit’s recall of its prior mandate in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Merit Management, on December 19, 2019, the Second Circuit issued an amended opinion which vacated its prior March 24, 2016 opinion. This amended opinion once again affirmed the dismissal of the case — affirming the Second Circuit’s prior ruling regarding preemption, and holding that Tribune qualified as a “financial institution.” A new mandate was also issued. The plaintiffs once again moved for
rehearing en banc in connection with this ruling on January 2, 2020, but this request was denied by the Second Circuit on February 6, 2020. On July 6, 2020 the plaintiffs filed a petition for writ of certiorari appealing the Second Circuit’s decision up to the Supreme Court. On April 19, 2021, the Supreme Court, after seeking the opinion of the Solicitor General on whether certiorari should be granted, denied the petition to hear the appeal. The Second Circuit’s dismissal of the consolidated state law constructive fraudulent transfer suits thus stands as a final decision; this matter may now be considered closed.
Procedural History of the FitzSimons Action
Similar to the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases, the FitzSimons Action was transferred to the District Court for pre-trial purposes. On November 20, 2013, the District Court entered an order stating that the FitzSimons Action would remain with the District Court. On January 6, 2017, the District Court dismissed the actual fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants without leave to replead. Because the January 6 decision did not fully dispose of all claims asserted in the complaint, the Trustee could not automatically appeal the decision. On February 1, 2017, the Trustee sought leave to file a motion for certification of the Motion to Dismiss. On February 23, 2017, the District Court issued an order stating that it intended to delay certification of the Motion to Dismiss until certain other pending motions to dismiss (not involving the shareholder defendants) were resolved.
On July 18, 2017, the Trustee sought permission from the District Court to file a motion seeking leave to amend its complaint to include a constructive fraudulent transfer claim based on the anticipated ruling in Merit Management. On August 24, 2017, the District Court denied the request without prejudice, but noted that affirmance of Merit Management would give the Trustee a strong argument that he should be allowed to amend his complaint. On March 8, 2018, the Trustee renewed his request to amend his complaint to add a constructive fraudulent transfer claim in light of the Merit Management decision. On March 13, 2018, counsel for a number of shareholder defendants (including counsel for the Subject Fund) filed an opposition.
On June 18, 2018, the District Court entered an order staying any decision on the Trustee’s request on the grounds that it would be preferable to hold off until the Second Circuit issued a further ruling in the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases. The District Court also instructed the parties to file a joint letter indicating their views on proceeding with efforts to seek to achieve a global resolution of the case. On July 9, 2018, the parties
49

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 13 — LITIGATION (continued)
submitted a joint letter that voiced general support for a broad based mediation effort.
On November 30, 2018, Judge Sullivan granted motions to dismiss brought by certain Tribune directors and officers. This decision did not directly impact the shareholder defendants, and because it did not resolve all of the pending motions to dismiss, it did not facilitate an appeal of the dismissal of claims against the shareholder defendants (which had been dismissed almost two years prior). On December 1, 2018, the FitzSimons Action (along with all other Tribune cases still pending in the District Court) were reassigned from Judge Sullivan to Judge Denise Cote. On December 17, 2018, the Trustee filed a motion for reconsideration of Judge Sullivan’s November 30, 2018 decision. On February 12, 2019, Judge Cote denied the Trustee’s motion for reconsideration in its entirety.
On March 27, 2019, Judge Cote lifted the stay previously imposed by Judge Sullivan and allowed the Trustee to move to amend the complaint to assert a constructive fraudulent transfer claim. The Trustee filed his motion on April 4, 2019. The shareholder defendants’ opposition was filed on April 12, 2019. On April 23, 2019, Judge Cote denied the Trustee’s motion. Significantly, Judge Cote held that Tribune qualifies as a “financial institution” under section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
In mid-July 2019, the Trustee filed a notice of appeal from, among other things, the District Court’s order dismissing the intentional fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants as well as the order denying the Trustee’s request to amend the complaint to include constructive fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants. The Trustee filed his opening brief in early January 2020. The Second Circuit has directed that this appeal be heard in tandem with the appeal of the separate suit pursued by the Trustee against financial advisors Citigroup and Merrill Lynch. The defendants’ brief in the appeal of the Trustee’s fraudulent transfer action was filed on April 27, 2020, and a reply brief was filed by the Trustee on May 18, 2020. Oral argument in front of the Second Circuit occurred on August 24, 2020. The parties now await a ruling.
Potential Exposure
For the Subject Fund, if the plaintiffs obtain further review of the dismissal of the FitzSimons Action or the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases, and the decision to dismiss these cases is ultimately overturned, the potential exposure of the Subject Fund is the value of all shares sold in conjunction with the LBO transaction (i.e., $1,258,340), plus any pre-judgement interest granted by the court. The Subject Fund believes the claims raised
in these actions are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.
NOTE 14 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021, and it remains unclear whether LIBOR will continue to exist after that date and, if so, in what form. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in many major currencies. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board, based on the recommendations of the New York Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), has begun publishing a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) that is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication.
Discontinuance of LIBOR and adoption/implementation of alternative rates pose a number of risks, including among others whether any substitute rate will experience the market participation and liquidity necessary to provide a workable substitute for LIBOR; the effect on parties’ existing contractual arrangements, hedging transactions, and investment strategies generally from a conversion from LIBOR to alternative rates; the effect on a Fund’s existing investments (including, for example, fixed-income investments; senior loans; CLOs and CDOs; and derivatives transactions), including the possibility that some of those investments may terminate or their terms may be adjusted to the disadvantage of a Fund; and the risk of general market disruption during the period of the conversion. It is difficult to predict at this time the likely impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund. On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced a delay in the phase out of a majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications to still end at the end of 2021.
NOTE 15 — LIQUIDITY
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have established a liquidity risk management program to govern their approach to managing liquidity risk (the “Program”). The Board has approved the designation of the Funds’ Investment Adviser, Voya Investments, as the program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator is responsible for implementing and monitoring the Program and has formed a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”) to assess and review, on an ongoing basis, each Fund’s liquidity risk.
50

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 15 — LIQUIDITY (continued)
The Program includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of liquidity risk factors and the periodic classification (or re- classification, as necessary) of a Fund’s investments into buckets (highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid and illiquid) that reflect the Committee’s assessment of the investments’ liquidity under current market conditions. The Committee also utilizes Fund-specific data, including information regarding a Fund’s shareholder base, characteristics of its investments, access to borrowing arrangements and historical redemptions to determine whether a Fund will be able to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner.
During the period covered by the annual assessment, January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Program supported the Funds’ ability to honor redemption requests in a timely manner and the Program Administrator’s management of each Fund’s liquidity risk, including during any periods of market volatility and net redemptions.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding each Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks.
NOTE 16 — MARKET DISRUPTION
A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. War, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations
are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the investments of the portfolio and of the Funds. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Fund and of the Funds’ service providers.
NOTE 17 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Funds have adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — 
Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements as well as provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The impact of the Funds’ adoption was limited to changes in the Funds’ financial statement disclosures regarding fair value, primarily those disclosures related to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, when applicable. Upon evaluation, the Funds have concluded that the adoption of the new accounting standard does not materially impact the financial statement amounts.
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — 
Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
[MISSING IMAGE: ph_dina-santoro.jpg]
As the Pandemic Recedes, the Economy Keeps Growing
Dear Shareholder,
Since April, investors have evinced concern about the prospect of inflation taking off as the global economy regroups from its COVID-19 knockdown. Market participants have been weighing better-than-expected corporate earnings against the potential for higher-than-expected inflation. As a result, bond and stock markets alike have experienced bouts of volatility. Over the one-year period covered in this report, however, stocks delivered strong performance, whereas fixed income asset classes produced mixed results. In mid-June, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) concluded its regular meeting at which U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) officials review current economic and labor market conditions and decided whether they should adjust monetary policy in response to those conditions. As expected, the FOMC upgraded its assessment of economic conditions and continued to describe the increase of inflation as largely transitory. Though we believe there is still uncertainty about the future path of interest rates, the FOMC reiterated that its current policy stances will remain in place until the Fed sees substantial further progress towards its goal of full employment.
In our opinion, the financial markets have shown remarkable strength despite the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks largely to massive U.S. government stimulus. During 2020, equity market returns were largely driven by defensive, pandemic-protected businesses. In 2021, we anticipate higher corporate profits, particularly from cyclical sectors of the market, i.e., those which generally benefit the most during economic recovery. Positive economic data keep rolling in, and the outlook for 2021 economic growth continues to improve, in our view. Significant savings built up during the pandemic, coupled with massive fiscal stimulus, have ignited a consumption boom that we believe is still expanding. Underscoring this point, reported first-quarter corporate earnings greatly exceeded expectations. We believe that the global economy also should grow at a faster than usual pace, though regional progress is likely to be uneven due to different rates of COVID-19 infections and vaccinations. Nevertheless, we believe the overall trajectory is up, which is a positive for financial assets.
While, in our view, the economy and financial markets are upholding their recent strength and expected to continue doing so this year, there is always the potential for a game-changing surprise. Therefore, it bears repeating that we believe one should invest to achieve one’s long-term goals, and not seek to beat the market today, this week, this month or this year. It is our view that you should keep focused on your long-term goals and don’t get distracted by short-term news, however compelling the headlines. Should your long-term goals change, discuss the situation thoroughly with your financial advisor before making any changes to your investment portfolio.
Regardless of events, at Voya we remain well prepared for and fully committed to serving our clients without disruption. We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
Sincerely,

Portfolio Managers’ Report Voya Corporate Leaders® 100 Fund
Voya Corporate Leaders® 100 Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to outperform the S&P 500® Index. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities of issuers listed on the S&P 100 Index. The Fund is managed by Vincent Costa, CFA, Steve Wetter and Kai Yee Wong, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 46.33% compared to the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”), which returned 40.32% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index due to the Fund’s portfolio construction rules, which equally weight the stocks in the S&P 100 Index. The resulting portfolio differs from the more broadly based and capitalization-weighted Index. Holdings within the financials, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors had the greatest positive impact on performance. Key contributors were overweight positions in energy company Occidental Petroleum Corporation, industrials stock FedEx Corporation and automaker Ford Motor Company. By contrast, holdings within the information technology and communication services sectors had the largest negative impact on performance. Key detractors were the underweight positions in technology firm Apple Inc. and overweights to healthcare stocks Biogen Inc. and Gilead Sciences, Inc.
Sector exposures are purely a function of the strategy’s rules-based investment discipline, however, and are not actively managed.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund’s investment strategy follows a strict rules-based approach. It starts by holding equal-weighted positions in the stocks of the S&P 100 Index at the beginning of each calendar quarter (implying that each holding represents approximately 1% of the portfolio). On a quarterly basis, if the value of a security rises by more than 50%, the sub-adviser immediately reduces the position size to 1%, and if the value of a security falls more than 30%, the sub-adviser sells the position. The sub-adviser rebalances the portfolio quarterly to realign the Fund’s holdings to their initial 1% weightings.
For the month of May, financial markets continued their advance begun in April, though the pace slowed. In our opinion, investors focused more on the global policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the phased reopening of various states, than on severe job losses and weak economic activity. We believe that the disjunction between current conditions and market sentiment was not an anomaly: investors had discounted current conditions and were focused on corporate earnings potential one to two years ahead.
The major U.S. equity indexes posted single-digit gains, led by the technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite. In our view, much of the market’s thrust has come from big-tech companies, whose internet-based products and services have experienced limited impact from the pandemic. The Index clawed its way back to being down less

than 5% year-to-date. Growth-style strategies continued to outperform value-style strategies; large capitalization equities lagged mid-cap and small-cap equities. International equities delivered lower but still positive returns, with the developed markets MSCI EAFE® Index leading the MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM for the month and year-to-date.
In our opinion, the wide divergence between asset prices and the real economy has been created by the incredible global policy response to the coronavirus crisis. While we believe that policy alone is not sufficient, it is our opinion that it is creating the conditions for a robust recovery and markets have been quick to factor in such a scenario. We believe that over the next six to twelve months, the U.S. economy will slowly reopen without setting off a catastrophic increase of infections, and government initiatives will backstop economic growth while the country progresses towards a post-COVID normal.

Voya Small Company Fund (the “Fund”) seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stock of companies with smaller market capitalizations. The Fund is managed by Joseph Basset, CFA, and James Hasso, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 58.01% compared to the Russell 2000® Index (the “Index” or “Russell 2000®”), which returned 64.56% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index due to unfavorable stock selection effects. On the sector level, stock selection within the healthcare equipment and services and transportation sectors detracted the most from performance. At the individual stock level, key detractors included overweight positions in Strategic Education, Inc. and Haemonetics Corporation, and our positioning in Plug Power Inc. By contrast, an underweight allocation to and stock selection within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector added the most value. Stock selection within the banks and semiconductors sectors also generated positive results. Key contributors at the individual stock level included overweight positions in FuelCell Energy, Inc., Generac Holdings Inc. and Bloomin’ Brands, Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Since April, investors have evinced concern about the prospect of inflation taking off as the global economy regroups from its COVID-19 knockdown. Market participants have been weighing better than expected corporate earnings against the potential for higher than expected inflation. As a result, bond and stock markets alike have experienced bouts of volatility. Recently, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) concluded its June meeting; as expected, the FOMC upgraded its assessment of economic conditions and continued to describe the increase of inflation as largely

transitory. The FOMC also reiterated that current policy stances will continue until it sees substantial further progress towards the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s goal of full employment.
In our view, the financial markets have shown remarkable strength despite the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks largely to massive U.S. government stimulus. During 2020, equity market returns were driven largely by defensive, pandemic-protected businesses. In 2021, we anticipate higher corporate profits, particularly from cyclical sectors of the market, i.e., those which generally benefit most during economic recovery. Positive economic data keep rolling in, and the outlook for 2021 economic growth continues to improve, in our opinion. Significant savings built up during the pandemic, coupled with massive fiscal stimulus, have ignited a consumption boom that we believe is still expanding. Underscoring this point, reported first-quarter corporate earnings greatly exceeded expectations. We believe the global economy also should grow at a faster than usual pace, though regional progress is likely to be uneven due to different rates of COVID-19 infections and vaccinations. Nevertheless, we believe the overall trajectory is up, which is a positive for financial assets.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021. The Funds’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Voya Corporate Leaders® 100 Fund and Voya Small Company Fund and the Board of Trustees of Voya Equity Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Corporate Leaders® 100 Fund and Voya Small Company Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) (two of the funds constituting Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of May 31, 2021, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two 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 Funds (two of the funds constituting Voya Equity Trust) at May 31, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial highlights for each of the periods in the three-year period ended May 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated July 25, 2019, 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 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 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 May 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end investment management company. The Trust was organized on June 12, 1998 and consists of ten separate active investment series. This report is for: Voya Corporate Leaders® 100 Fund (“Corporate Leaders® 100”) and Voya Small Company Fund (“Small Company”) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Fund offers at least six or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I, Class P3, Class R, Class R6, and Class W. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from a fund pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a fund or a class are charged directly to that fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.
Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after purchase.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Funds. Voya Investments has engaged Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to the Funds. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Funds.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of
their financial statements. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Each Fund is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Fund is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The data reflected on the consolidated tape provided by the CTA is generated by various market centers, including all securities exchanges, electronic communications networks, and third-market broker-dealers. The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when a Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced and a Fund does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent a Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when a Fund does not price its shares, the value of a Fund’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Fund.
Assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, if such price is not available, at the last sale price as of the Market Close for such security provided by the CTA. Bank loans are valued at the average of the averages of the bid and ask prices provided to an independent loan pricing service by brokers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
When a market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, each Fund will determine a fair value
17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
for the relevant asset in accordance with procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”). Such procedures provide, for example, that: (a) Exchange-traded securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask; (b) Debt obligations are valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, benchmark yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data; (c) Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued based on prices provided by independent pricing services or market makers; (d) Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source using an industry accepted model, such as Black-Scholes; (e) Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (f) OTC swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (g) Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Such prices from the third party pricing service are for specific settlement periods and each Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent period reported by the independent pricing service; and (h) Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by brokers.
The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which each Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Foreign securities’ (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close. If market quotations are available and believed to be reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. An independent pricing service determines the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of Market Close. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current
value will be valued by the independent pricing service using pricing models designed to estimate likely changes in the values of those securities between the times in which the trading in those securities is substantially completed and Market Close. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining the value of such securities and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures.
All other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable (or if the above fair valuation methods are unavailable or determined to be unreliable) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board following procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated to the Investment Adviser responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Funds’ valuation procedures; a “Pricing Committee” comprised of employees of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates has responsibility for applying the fair valuation methods set forth in the procedures and, if a fair valuation cannot be determined pursuant to the fair valuation methods, determining the fair value of assets held by the Funds. Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine each Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in each Fund.
Each investment asset or liability of the Funds 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
18

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
accounting rules. A table summarizing each Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolios of Investments.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.
B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1)
Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.
(2)
Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the
amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on each Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.
D. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds’ investment strategies permit them to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly, and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.
In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Fund may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:
Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objectives.
19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that a Fund invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by a Fund through foreign currency exchange transactions.
Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.
Interest Rate Risk. With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a low interest rate environment, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. For a fund that invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential changes in government policy may affect interest rates.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Funds’ use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market or credit risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market or credit risk factors for securities held by the Funds, there are also risks
that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.
Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by a Fund. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on a Fund and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investments, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose a Fund to the risk of improper valuation.
Generally, derivatives are sophisticated financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset or assets. Derivatives include, among other things, swap agreements, options, forwards and futures. Investments in derivatives are generally negotiated OTC with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Fund to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.
E. Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. For the purposes of hedging only, each Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed,
20

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
Each Fund 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. The Funds 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 Funds’ assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are 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 Funds 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 Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements, if any, 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 Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Funds’ Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the year ended May 31, 2021, Corporate Leaders® 100 purchased futures contracts on various equity indices to “equitize” cash. Futures contracts are purchased to provide immediate market exposure proportionate to the size of the Fund’s respective cash flows and residual cash balances in order to decrease potential tracking error if the cash remained uninvested in the market. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Funds 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 Funds’ securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds 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 May 31, 2021, Corporate Leaders® 100 had an average notional amount on futures contracts purchased of $6,194,380. Please refer to the table within the Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts for Corporate Leaders® 100 at May 31, 2021.
F. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and pay dividends, if any, annually. Each Fund distributes capital gains, if any, annually. The Funds may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.
G. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of 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 Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain for income tax purposes.
H. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
I. Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan securities representing up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee.
21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Securities lending involves two primary risks: “investment risk” and “borrower default risk.” When lending securities, the Funds will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Funds will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Funds will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Funds to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Funds’ other risks.
J. Restricted Securities. Each Fund may invest in restricted securities which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual 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 may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be
estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Funds have entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Funds. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Funds and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Funds, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. This Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund, at the following annual rates:
Fund
As a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Corporate Leaders® 100
0.500% on the first $500 million;

(1)
The Investment Adviser is contractually obligated to waive 0.02% of the management fee for Small Company. This waiver is not eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.
The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM with respect to each Fund. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Funds and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of each respective Fund. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages each Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Each share class of the Funds (except as noted below) has a plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”),
22

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES (continued)
whereby the Distributor is compensated by the Funds for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month to compensate for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the Plans, each class of shares, with the exception of Class I, Class P3, Class R6, and Class W, of the Funds pays the Distributor Distribution Fees and/or Service Fees based on average daily net assets at the following rates:
Class A

The Investment Adviser may direct the Funds’ Sub-Adviser to use its best efforts (subject to obtaining best execution
of each transaction) to allocate the Funds’ equity security transactions through certain designated broker-dealers. The designated broker-dealer, in turn, will reimburse a portion of the brokerage commissions to pay certain expenses of that Fund. Any amount credited to the Fund is reflected as brokerage commission recapture on the accompanying Statements of Operations.
The Funds have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Funds. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Funds 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 Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Funds, and will not materially affect the Funds’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
The Funds may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended May 31, 2021, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by each Fund were as follows:

NOTE 9 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective May 14, 2021, each Fund, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 30-day extension of the 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 14, 2021. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of a Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to May 14, 2021, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through May 14, 2021.
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 Funds utilized the line of credit during the year ended May 31, 2021, as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the Market Close of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Funds indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral 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 Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a fund.
The following table represents a summary of the respective Fund’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under the Agreement as of May 31, 2021:

Cash collateral with a fair value of $5,992,861 has been received in connection with the above securities lending transactions. Excess cash collateral received from the individual counterparty is not shown for financial reporting purposes.
NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of futures contracts and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:

The Funds’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.
As of May 31, 2021, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 13 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021, and it remains unclear whether LIBOR will continue to exist after that date and, if so, in what form. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in many major currencies. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board, based on the recommendations of the New York Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), has begun publishing a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) that is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication.
Discontinuance of LIBOR and adoption/implementation of alternative rates pose a number of risks, including among others whether any substitute rate will experience the market participation and liquidity necessary to provide a workable substitute for LIBOR; the effect on parties’ existing contractual arrangements, hedging transactions, and investment strategies generally from a conversion from LIBOR to alternative rates; the effect on a Fund’s existing investments (including, for example, fixed-income investments; senior loans; CLOs and CDOs; and derivatives transactions), including the possibility that some of those investments may terminate or their terms may be adjusted to the disadvantage of a Fund; and the risk of general market disruption during the period of the conversion. It is difficult to predict at this time the likely impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund. On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced a delay in the phase out of a majority of the
U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications to still end at the end of 2021.
NOTE 14 — LIQUIDITY
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have established a liquidity risk management program to govern their approach to managing liquidity risk (the “Program”). The Board has approved the designation of the Funds’ Investment Adviser, Voya Investments, as the program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator is responsible for implementing and monitoring the Program and has formed a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”) to assess and review, on an ongoing basis, each Fund’s liquidity risk.
The Program includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of liquidity risk factors and the periodic classification (or re- classification, as necessary) of a Fund’s investments into buckets (highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid and illiquid) that reflect the Committee’s assessment of the investments’ liquidity under current market conditions. The Committee also utilizes Fund-specific data, including information regarding a Fund’s shareholder base, characteristics of its investments, access to borrowing arrangements and historical redemptions to determine whether a Fund will be able to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner.
During the period covered by the annual assessment, January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Program supported the Funds’ ability to honor redemption requests in a timely manner and the Program Administrator’s management of each Fund’s liquidity risk, including during any periods of market volatility and net redemptions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 14 — LIQUIDITY (continued)
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding each Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks.
NOTE 15 — MARKET DISRUPTION
A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. War, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the investments of the portfolio and of the Funds. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Fund and of the Funds’ service providers.
NOTE 16 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Funds have adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework —Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair value
disclosure requirements as well as provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The impact of the Funds’ adoption was limited to changes in the Funds’ financial statement disclosures regarding fair value, primarily those disclosures related to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, when applicable. Upon evaluation, the Funds have concluded that the adoption of the new accounting standard does not materially impact the financial statement amounts.
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04.
NOTE 17 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Line of Credit Renewal: Effective June 14, 2021, the funds to which the Credit Agreement is available have entered into a renewed 364-day Credit Agreement with BNY for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears.
The Funds 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.

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 Fund (“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).

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
[MISSING IMAGE: ph_dina-santoro.jpg]
As the Pandemic Recedes, the Economy Keeps Growing
Dear Shareholder,
Since April, investors have evinced concern about the prospect of inflation taking off as the global economy regroups from its COVID-19 knockdown. Market participants have been weighing better-than-expected corporate earnings against the potential for higher-than-expected inflation. As a result, bond and stock markets alike have experienced bouts of volatility. Over the one-year period covered in this report, however, stocks delivered strong performance, whereas fixed income asset classes produced mixed results. In mid-June, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) concluded its regular meeting at which U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) officials review current economic and labor market conditions and decided whether they should adjust monetary policy in response to those conditions. As expected, the FOMC upgraded its assessment of economic conditions and continued to describe the increase of inflation as largely transitory. Though we believe there is still uncertainty about the future path of interest rates, the FOMC reiterated that its current policy stances will remain in place until the Fed sees substantial further progress towards its goal of full employment.
In our opinion, the financial markets have shown remarkable strength despite the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks largely to massive U.S. government stimulus. During 2020, equity market returns were largely driven by defensive, pandemic-protected businesses. In 2021, we anticipate higher corporate profits, particularly from cyclical sectors of the market, i.e., those which generally benefit the most during economic recovery. Positive economic data keep rolling in, and the outlook for 2021 economic growth continues to improve, in our view. Significant savings built up during the pandemic, coupled with massive fiscal stimulus, have ignited a consumption boom that we believe is still expanding. Underscoring this point, reported first-quarter corporate earnings greatly exceeded expectations. We believe that the global economy also should grow at a faster than usual pace, though regional progress is likely to be uneven due to different rates of COVID-19 infections and vaccinations. Nevertheless, we believe the overall trajectory is up, which is a positive for financial assets.
While, in our view, the economy and financial markets are upholding their recent strength and expected to continue doing so this year, there is always the potential for a game-changing surprise. Therefore, it bears repeating that we believe one should invest to achieve one’s long-term goals, and not seek to beat the market today, this week, this month or this year. It is our view that you should keep focused on your long-term goals and don’t get distracted by short-term news, however compelling the headlines. Should your long-term goals change, discuss the situation thoroughly with your financial advisor before making any changes to your investment portfolio.
Regardless of events, at Voya we remain well prepared for and fully committed to serving our clients without disruption. We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
Sincerely,
[MISSING IMAGE: sg_dina-santoro.jpg]

Voya Mid Cap Research Enhanced Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth. The Fund is managed by Steve Wetter, Vincent Costa, CFA, Peg DiOrio, CFA, and Kai Yee Wong, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 56.36% compared to the S&P MidCap 400® Index (the “Index” or “S&P MidCap”), which returned 56.77% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed the Index. On the sector level, stock selection within the financials and consumer discretionary sectors had the largest positive impact on performance. Among the key contributors were overweights to consumer discretionary stocks, Scientific Games Corporation and Etsy, Inc., an online retailer, and an underweight in financials stock Renaissance Re Holdings Ltd. Conversely, stock selection within the information technology and consumer staples sectors had the largest negative impact on performance. At the individual stock level, key detractors included underweight positions in Darling Ingredients Inc., a company focused on the development of natural foods, and Enphase Energy, Inc., a global energy company operating in the tech sector, and an overweight to Monolithic Power Systems, Inc.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund uses an actively managed strategy that combines fundamental stock research with our proprietary quantitative models, what some like to call “quantamental.” Our proprietary quantitative models seek to identify what we believe are high quality, profitable companies that are relatively undervalued, have growth potential and are, in our view, likely to be favored by investors. The Fund also utilizes fundamental equity research to select companies that we believe would outperform the Index and that are uncorrelated to our quantitative models. We believe this unique approach of combining fundamental equity research with in-house quantitative models seeks to provide diversified excess returns and disciplined, risk-controlled portfolios.
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.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of Voya Mid Cap Research Enhanced Index Fund 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 Fund’s performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.
The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund 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.
Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. Please log on to www.voyainvestments.com or call (800) 992-0180 to get performance through the most recent month end.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021. The Fund’s expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Voya Mid Cap Research Enhanced Index Fund and the Board of Trustees of Voya Equity Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Voya Mid Cap Research Enhanced Index Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”)), including the portfolio of investments, as of May 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two 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 Fund (one of the funds constituting Voya Equity Trust) at May 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial highlights for each of the periods in the three-year period ended May 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated July 25, 2019, 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 Fund’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 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 May 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Equity Trust ( the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end investment management company. The Trust was organized on June 12, 1998 and consists of ten separate active investment series. This report is for Voya Mid Cap Research Enhanced Index Fund (“Mid Cap Research Enhanced Index” or the “Fund”), a diversified series of the Trust.
The Fund offers the following classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I, Class P3, Class R and Class W. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from a fund pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a fund or a class are charged directly to that fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.
Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after purchase.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Fund. Voya Investments has engaged Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Fund.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. The Fund is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of the Fund is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The data reflected on the consolidated tape provided by the CTA is generated by various market centers, including all securities exchanges, electronic communications networks, and third-market broker-dealers. The NAV per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when the Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced and the Fund does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent the Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of the Fund’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
Assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, if such price is not available, at the last sale price as of the Market Close for such security provided by the CTA. Bank loans are valued at the average of the averages of the bid and ask prices provided to an independent loan pricing service by brokers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
When a market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, the Fund will determine a fair value for the relevant asset in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”).
13

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Such procedures provide, for example, that: (a) Exchange-traded securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask; (b) Debt obligations are valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, benchmark yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data; (c) Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued based on prices provided by independent pricing services or market makers; (d) Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source using an industry accepted model, such as Black-Scholes; (e) Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (f) OTC swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (g) Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Such prices from the third party pricing service are for specific settlement periods and the Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent period reported by the independent pricing service; and (h) Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by brokers.
The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which the Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Foreign securities’ (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close. If market quotations are available and believed to be reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. An independent pricing service determines the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of Market Close. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be valued by the independent pricing service using pricing models designed to estimate likely changes in the values of those securities between the times in
which the trading in those securities is substantially completed and Market Close. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining the value of such securities and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures.
All other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable (or if the above fair valuation methods are unavailable or determined to be unreliable) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board following procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated to the Investment Adviser responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Fund’s valuation procedures; a “Pricing Committee” comprised of employees of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates has responsibility for applying the fair valuation methods set forth in the procedures and, if a fair valuation cannot be determined pursuant to the fair valuation methods, determining the fair value of assets held by the Fund. Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in the Fund.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Sub-Adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.
B. 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 Fund. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1)
Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.
(2)
Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the 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 Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from
changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.
D. Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund records distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at least annually to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and may make distributions on a more frequent basis. 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 Fund 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 Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions will be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Fund may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
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. Securities Lending. The Fund has the option to temporarily loan up to 3313% 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 Fund will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the
15

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
risk that the Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Fund 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 Fund. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Fund to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Fund’s other risks.
H. 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 Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended May 31, 2021, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, were as follows:
Purchases
Sales
$77,593,661
$ 90,122,844
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Fund. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Fund, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. This Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund, at the following annual rates: 0.550% on the first $500 million, 0.525% on the next $250 million, 0.500% on the next $1.25 billion, and 0.475% in excess of $2 billion.
The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Fund and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. Subject
to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Each share class of the Fund (except as noted below) has a plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”), whereby the Distributor is compensated by the Fund for expenses incurred in the distribution of the Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month to compensate for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of the Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the Plans, each class of shares of the Fund, except Class I, Class P3 and Class W, pays the Distributor Distribution Fees and/or Service Fees based on average daily net assets at the following rates:
Class A
Class C
Class R
0.25%
0.75%
0.50%
The Distributor may also retain the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid by shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares of the Fund, and the contingent deferred sales charge paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions for Class A and Class C shares. For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Distributor retained the following amounts in sales charges:
Class A
Class C
Initial Sales Charges: $ 1,492 $
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges: $ $ 10
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At May 31, 2021, the following direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. owned more than 5% of the Fund:

Percentage
Voya Institutional Trust Company
9.49%
The Investment Advisor may direct the Fund’s Sub-Adviser to use its best efforts (subject to obtaining best execution of each transaction) to allocate the Fund’s equity security transactions through certain designated broker-dealers. The designated broker-dealer, in turn, will reimburse a portion of the brokerage commissions to pay certain
16

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES (continued)
expenses of the Fund. Any amount credited to the Fund is reflected as brokerage commission recapture on the accompanying Statement of Operations.
The Fund has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Fund purchases shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
The Fund may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended May 31, 2021, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by the Fund were $19,199.
NOTE 7 — LICENSING FEE
The Fund pays an annual licensing fee to S&P Opco, LLC.
NOTE 8 — EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENTS
The Investment Adviser has entered into a written expense limitation agreement (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Fund whereby the Investment Adviser has agreed to limit expenses, excluding interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses to 1.00%, 1.50%, 0.75%, 0.00%, 1.25%, and 0.75% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class P3, Class R and Class W, respectively.
Pursuant to a side letter agreement, through October 1, 2021, the Investment Adviser has further lowered the expense limits to 0.95%, 1.45%, 0.70%, 0.00%, 1.20% and 0.70% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class P3, Class R and Class W, respectively. Any fees waived pursuant to the side letter agreement shall not be eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.
Unless otherwise specified above, the Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from the Fund for class specific fees waived and/or other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Fund’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees 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 May 31, 2021, the Fund did not have any amount of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Advisor.
The Expense Limitation Agreement is contractual through October 1, 2021 and the Expense Limitation Agreement shall renew automatically for one-year terms. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.
NOTE 9 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective May 14, 2021, the Fund, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 30-day extension of the 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 14, 2021. 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 Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to May 14, 2021, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through May 14, 2021.
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.
During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund did not utilize the line of credit.

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Fund can lend its securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the Market Close of the Fund at its last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which it is traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Fund 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 Fund 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 the Fund in the event the Fund 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 the fund.

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of wash sale deferrals.
Dividends paid by the Fund from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

The Fund’s major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.
As of May 31, 2021, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are
subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 13 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021, and it remains unclear whether LIBOR will continue to exist after that date and, if so, in what form. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in many major currencies. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board, based on the recommendations of the New York Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), has begun publishing a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) that is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication.
Discontinuance of LIBOR and adoption/implementation of alternative rates pose a number of risks, including among others whether any substitute rate will experience the market participation and liquidity necessary to provide a workable substitute for LIBOR; the effect on parties’ existing contractual arrangements, hedging transactions, and investment strategies generally from a conversion from LIBOR to alternative rates; the effect on the Fund’s existing investments (including, for example, fixed-income investments; senior loans; CLOs and CDOs; and derivatives transactions), including the possibility that some of those investments may terminate or their terms may be adjusted to the disadvantage of the Fund; and the risk of general market disruption during the period of the conversion. It is difficult to predict at this time the likely impact of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund. On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced a delay in the phase out of a majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications to still end at the end of 2021.
NOTE 14 — LIQUIDITY
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has established a liquidity risk management program to govern its approach to managing liquidity risk (the “Program”). The Board has approved the designation of the Fund’s Investment Adviser, Voya Investments, as the program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator is responsible for implementing and monitoring the Program and has formed a Liquidity Risk
19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 14 — LIQUIDITY (continued)
Management Committee (the “Committee”) to assess and review, on an ongoing basis, the Fund’s liquidity risk.
The Program includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of liquidity risk factors and the periodic classification (or re-classification, as necessary) of the Fund’s investments into buckets (highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid and illiquid) that reflect the Committee’s assessment of the investments’ liquidity under current market conditions. The Committee also utilizes Fund-specific data, including information regarding the Fund’s shareholder base, characteristics of its investments, access to borrowing arrangements and historical redemptions to determine whether the Fund will be able to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner.
During the period covered by the annual assessment, January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Program supported the Fund’s ability to honor redemption requests in a timely manner and the Program Administrator’s management of the Fund’s liquidity risk, including during any periods of market volatility and net redemptions.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks.
NOTE 15 — MARKET DISRUPTION
The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. War, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and
domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the investments of the portfolio and of the Fund. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund’s service providers.
NOTE 16 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Fund has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework —  Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements as well as provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The impact of the Fund’s adoption was limited to changes in the Fund’s financial statement disclosures regarding fair value, primarily those disclosures related to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, when applicable. Upon evaluation, the Fund has concluded that the adoption of the new accounting standard does not materially impact the financial statement amounts.
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) —  Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04.
NOTE 17 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Line of Credit Renewal: Effective June 14, 2021, the funds to which the Credit Agreement is available have entered into a renewed 364-Day Credit Agreement with BNY for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears.

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).

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
[MISSING IMAGE: ph_dinasantoro-bw.jpg]
As the Pandemic Recedes, the Economy Keeps Growing
Dear Shareholder,
Since April, investors have evinced concern about the prospect of inflation taking off as the global economy regroups from its COVID-19 knockdown. Market participants have been weighing better-than-expected corporate earnings against the potential for higher-than-expected inflation. As a result, bond and stock markets alike have experienced bouts of volatility. Over the one-year period covered in this report, however, stocks delivered strong performance, whereas fixed income asset classes produced mixed results. In mid-June, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) concluded its regular meeting at which U.S. Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) officials review current economic and labor market conditions and decided whether they should adjust monetary policy in response to those conditions. As expected, the FOMC upgraded its assessment of economic conditions and continued to describe the increase of inflation as largely transitory. Though we believe there is still uncertainty about the future path of interest rates, the FOMC reiterated that its current policy stances will remain in place until the Fed sees substantial further progress towards its goal of full employment.
In our opinion, the financial markets have shown remarkable strength despite the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks largely to massive U.S. government stimulus. During 2020, equity market returns were largely driven by defensive, pandemic-protected businesses. In 2021, we anticipate higher corporate profits, particularly from cyclical sectors of the market, i.e., those which generally benefit the most during economic recovery. Positive economic data keep rolling in, and the outlook for 2021 economic growth continues to improve, in our view. Significant savings built up during the pandemic, coupled with massive fiscal stimulus, have ignited a consumption boom that we believe is still expanding. Underscoring this point, reported first-quarter corporate earnings greatly exceeded expectations. We believe that the global economy also should grow at a faster than usual pace, though regional progress is likely to be uneven due to different rates of COVID-19 infections and vaccinations. Nevertheless, we believe the overall trajectory is up, which is a positive for financial assets.
While, in our view, the economy and financial markets are upholding their recent strength and expected to continue doing so this year, there is always the potential for a game-changing surprise. Therefore, it bears repeating that we believe one should invest to achieve one’s long-term goals, and not seek to beat the market today, this week, this month or this year. It is our view that you should keep focused on your long-term goals and don’t get distracted by short-term news, however compelling the headlines. Should your long-term goals change, discuss the situation thoroughly with your financial advisor before making any changes to your investment portfolio.
Regardless of events, at Voya we remain well prepared for and fully committed to serving our clients without disruption. We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
Sincerely,

Portfolio Managers’ Report Voya Global Multi-Asset Fund
Voya Global Multi-Asset Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return consisting of capital growth, both realized and unrealized, and current income. The Fund is managed by Paul Zemsky, CFA, and Barbara Reinhard, CFA, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
The Fund is a fund-of-funds, which may invest in underlying funds and direct securities. It uses a proprietary asset allocation strategy to determine the percentage of the Fund’s net assets to invest in each of the underlying funds (the “target allocations”). Target allocations may be changed from time to time. The Fund’s strategic allocation benchmark, the Global Multi-Asset Fund Composite Index (“GMA Composite”)*, reflects these target allocations.
Performance: For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 32.20% compared to the S&P Target Risk® Growth Index, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the MSCI EAFE® Index, the Russell 3000® Index and the GMA Composite, which returned 25.20%, -0.40%, 38.41%, 43.91% and 30.26%, respectively, during the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed both the S&P Target Risk® Growth Index and its strategic GMA Composite.
The GMA Composite outperformed the S&P Target Risk® Growth Index largely due to greater allocation to equities relative to fixed income. From a sub-asset allocation standpoint, the GMA Composite was also helped by greater allocation to domestic equities and high-yield (“HY”) corporates.
The Fund attempts to outperform the return of the GMA Composite through tactical asset allocation, i.e., deviating from the GMA Composite’s asset allocation over the short and medium-term. Tactical asset allocation was additive over the period before fees and expenses. The primary contributor to excess returns was an overweight to domestic small cap equities.
The Fund’s managers have continued to tilt the Fund toward domestic equities, buoyed by continued vaccinations, broadening economic mobility and activity and unflagging support from the government.
The Fund also attempts to outperform the return of the GMA Composite through the selection of underlying funds, which represent the various asset classes within the GMA Composite. Underlying fund selection contributed over the period. The Funds with the largest outperformance versus their asset class benchmarks were Voya Multi-Manager International Equity Fund, Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund and Voya Global Bond Fund. The underlying Funds with the highest underperformance were Voya Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Voya High Yield Bond Fund and Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund.
The Fund utilizes derivatives including futures, currency forwards, and total return swaps, to execute some of its systematic tactical asset allocation strategies. These strategies are designed to be diversifying in nature and are employed within the Fund’s risk allocation guidelines. For the reporting period, systematic strategies, in the aggregate, modestly contributed to performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: In our view, the outlook for U.S. 2021 growth continues to strengthen. Vaccinations are accelerating, economic mobility and activity are broadening and support from government has been unflagging. Significant savings built up throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with a lot of fiscal stimulus, and potentially more coming, has ignited a consumption boom that we believe is in the early innings. The latest consumer price index (“CPI”) reading stole the headlines with a 2.6% print, but this was skewed by a big recovery in oil. Core CPI also climbed but remained below the Federal Reserve’s 2.0% target at 1.6%. Measures of inflation expectations were changed a little to lower since April. It would not surprise us to see inflation continue to rise, but we believe that sizable increases will be transitory. Despite the Food and Drug Administration’s decision to pause the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, U.S. immunization efforts have contributed to a sharp and steady decline of infections and the population may be well on its way to achieving herd immunity, in our view.
We believe that the global economy should also experience a higher-than-normal growth, but there is more uncertainty around this, as vaccination progress varies considerably across countries and infections are rising in pockets. Europe’s inoculation campaign was dealt a blow after several countries temporarily halted the use of AstraZeneca’s vaccine. Other countries, particularly those less developed, are having difficulties securing supply. As a result, we believe the recovery is likely to be uneven. Nevertheless, the overall trajectory is up, which we believe is a positive for stocks. We acknowledge that if the American Jobs Act is passed in its current form, the increase in corporate taxes would probably provoke a rise in volatility and a rotation away from certain tax sensitive investments, in our view. While we expect a bill will be passed, it could require amendments, particularly on

the tax side. We also recognize the rate of improvement in most financial metrics may have peaked and valuations relative to history are high, implying reduced forward returns. Nonetheless, with low current interest rates and inflationary forces percolating that could drive rates higher, fixed income’s outlook is relatively dim, in our opinion. Thus, relative to bonds, we believe equities are more attractive and therefore maintain equity overweights across portfolios.
Within equities, we recently made modest shifts away from U.S. small-cap stocks in favor of large- and mid-caps. As the economy continues to reopen, we believe the fast accrual of operating leverage that helped small-caps on the way up could be their Achilles heel on the way down. Other potential risks, in our view, include concerns over labor shortages and higher input costs as reported in purchasing manager surveys. Also, we believe potential corporate tax hikes may cause small-caps to lag in the medium term. Lastly, the Russell 2000® Index as of the date of this report is trading at 36 times earnings, a 50% premium over the S&P 500® Index, which is trading at around 23 times earnings.
We continue to prefer emerging market (“EM”) equities over developed market equities. While recent U.S. dollar strength has induced capital outflows and weighed on EM asset returns, global reflation with more modest increases in U.S. real yields, we believe sustained China expansion and broad-based cyclical rotation should benefit EM stocks for the remainder of the year.
In our view, global interest rates appear likely to go higher. We expect the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield to move toward 2.0%, but not in a linear fashion. Within fixed income, sectors with yield spreads to Treasuries continue to offer better return potential, in our view. We think spreads to Treasuries among HY bonds are more attractive than investment-grade spreads. Developed international market yields are unenticing, while the risk-adjusted return profile of international equities outweighs that of the debt, in our opinion.
*
The GMA Composite is composed of several indices that we believe provide an internal reference benchmark against which the actual performance of the Fund’s portfolio can be compared. As of May 31, 2021, the Index allocation is approximately: 23.0% of the S&P 500® Index, 12.0% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 21.0% of the MSCI EAFE® Index, 9.0% of the MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM, 3.0% of the Russell 2000® Index, 6.0% of the Russell Midcap® Index, 8.0 % of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, 9.0% of the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Bond Index, 5.0% of the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index, 2.0% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury TIPS Index and 2.0% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Short Treasury 1-3 Month Index.
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 EXAMPLE (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021. The Fund’s expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Voya Global Multi-Asset Fund and the Board of Trustees of Voya Equity Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Voya Global Multi-Asset Fund (the “Fund”), (one of the funds constituting Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”)), including the portfolio of investments, as of May 31, 2021, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two 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 Fund (one of the funds constituting Voya Equity Trust) at May 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial highlights for each of the periods in the three-year period ended May 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated July 25, 2019, 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 Fund’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 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 May 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end investment management company. The Trust was organized on June 12, 1998 and consists of ten separate active investment series. This report is for Voya Global Multi-Asset Fund (“Global Multi-Asset” or the “Fund”), a diversified series of the Trust.
The Fund offers the following classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R6, and Class W. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from a fund pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a fund or a class are charged directly to that fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.
Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares ten years after purchase.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Fund. Voya Investments has engaged Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Fund.
The investment companies in which the Fund invests are collectively referred to as the “Underlying Funds.”
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements. The Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. The Fund is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of the Fund is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The data reflected on the consolidated tape provided by the CTA is generated by various market centers, including all securities exchanges, electronic communications networks, and third-market broker-dealers. The NAV per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when the Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced and the Fund does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent the Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of the Fund’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
Assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded or, if such price is not available, at the last sale price as of the Market Close for such security provided by the CTA. Bank loans are valued at the average of the averages of the bid and ask prices provided to an independent loan pricing service by brokers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the regular trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
When a market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, the Fund will determine a fair value for the relevant asset in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”). Such procedures provide, for example, that: (a) Exchange-traded securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask; (b) Debt obligations are valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, benchmark yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data; (c) Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued based on prices provided by independent pricing services or market makers; (d) Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source using an industry accepted model, such as Black-Scholes; (e) Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (f) OTC swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (g) Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Such prices from the third party pricing service are for specific settlement periods and the Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent period reported by the independent pricing service; and (h) Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by brokers.
The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which the Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Foreign securities’ (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close. If market quotations are available and believed to be reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. An independent pricing service determines the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of Market Close. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved
degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be valued by the independent pricing service using pricing models designed to estimate likely changes in the values of those securities between the times in which the trading in those securities is substantially completed and Market Close. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining the value of such securities and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures.
All other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable (or if the above fair valuation methods are unavailable or determined to be unreliable) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board following procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated to the Investment Adviser responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Fund’s valuation procedures; a “Pricing Committee” comprised of employees of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates has responsibility for applying the fair valuation methods set forth in the procedures and, if a fair valuation cannot be determined pursuant to the fair valuation methods, determining the fair value of assets held by the Fund. Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in the Fund.
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Sub-Adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable
15

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
accounting rules. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments. The Fund 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.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.
B. 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 Fund. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method. Capital gain dividends from affiliated Underlying Funds are recorded as distributions of realized gains from affiliated Underlying Funds.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1)
Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.
(2)
Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the 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 Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the difference between the amounts of foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually
received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of foreign/withholding tax reclaim receivables, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
D. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund’s investment strategies permit the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, purchased options, written options, and swaps. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.
In pursuit of its investment objectives, the Fund may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:
Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes 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 the Fund to achieve its investment objectives.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that the Fund invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by the Fund through foreign currency exchange transactions.
Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by
16

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.
Interest Rate Risk. With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a low interest rate environment, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. For a fund that invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential changes in government policy may affect interest rates.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’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 the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market or credit risk factors for securities held by the Fund, 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 the Fund. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic
leveraging effect on the Fund and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investments, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to the risk of improper valuation.
Generally, derivatives are sophisticated financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset or assets. Derivatives include, among other things, swap agreements, options, forwards and futures. Investments in derivatives are generally negotiated OTC with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause the Fund to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.
Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, the Fund generally enters into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by the Fund 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
17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.
The Fund may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate counterparty credit risk associated with OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to the Fund 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 May 31, 2021, the maximum amount of loss the Fund would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $107,245 which represents the gross payments to be received by the Fund on open forward foreign currency contracts were they to be unwound as of May 31, 2021. As of May 31, 2021, there was no collateral received by the Fund from any counterparty.
The Fund’s master agreements with derivative counterparties have credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s NAV, which could cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s Master Agreements.
As of May 31, 2021, the Fund had a liability position of $278,732 on open forward foreign currency contracts. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of May 31, 2021, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. As of May 31, 2021, the Fund had not pledged any cash collateral for its open OTC derivatives transactions.
E. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts and Futures Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward foreign currency contract, the Fund agrees to
receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and the Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the statement of assets and liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts are included on the Statement of Operations. These instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.
During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund had an average contract amount on forward foreign currency contracts to buy and sell of $15,502,034 and $15,741,538, respectively. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contracts at May 31, 2021.
The Fund 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. The Fund 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 Fund’s assets are valued.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund 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 Fund 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, if any, are reported on a table within the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements, if any, 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 Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are
18

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
reported in the Fund’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 May 31, 2021, the Fund had purchased and sold futures contracts on various equity indices and U.S. Treasuries as part of its tactical asset allocation strategies. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund had average notional amounts on futures contracts purchased and sold of $17,344,523 and $17,187,596, respectively. Please refer to the table within the Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts at May 31, 2021.
F. Swap Agreements. The Fund 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 Fund 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by a Fund
when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are included as a component in the realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A Fund also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and a Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. A Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a Fund 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 Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.
Total Return Swap Agreements. Total return swaps are entered into to gain or mitigate exposure to the underlying reference asset. Total return swap agreements involve commitments where single or multiple cash flows are exchanged based on the price of an underlying reference asset and on a fixed or variable interest rate. Total return swap agreements may involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return. One counterparty pays out the total return of a specific underlying reference asset, which may include a single security, a basket of securities, or an index, and in return receives a fixed or variable rate. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is
19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference asset less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, a Fund would receive payments based on any net positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a net negative total return. As the payer, a Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payments in the event of a net negative total return. A Fund’s use of a total return swap exposes the Fund to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of exchange rates, interest rates, securities, or the index.
For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Fund entered into total return swaps on equity indices with an average notional amount of $6,164,920 and $6,165,431 on receiver and payer total return swaps, respectively. There were no open total return swaps at May 31, 2021.
G. Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund records distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at least annually to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and may make distributions on a more frequent basis. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.
H. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of 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 Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Fund may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
I. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
J. 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 Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers risk of loss from such claims remote.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended May 31, 2021, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, were as follows:
Purchases
Sales
$51,050,066
$ 52,990,423
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Fund. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Fund, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. The Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee equal to (1) 0.18% of the Fund’s average daily net assets invested in affiliated Underlying Funds; (2) 0.900% on the first $500 million; 0.875% on the next $500 million; 0.850% on the next $500 million; 0.825% on the next $500 million; and 0.800% thereafter of the Fund’s average daily net assets invested in direct investments; and (3) 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets invested in other investments.
The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Fund and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages the Fund’s assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Class A and Class C shares of the Fund each has a plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”), whereby the Distributor is compensated by the Fund for expenses incurred in the distribution of the Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month to compensate for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of the Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing
20

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES (continued)
prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the Plans, Class A and Class C shares of the Fund pay the Distributor Distribution Fees and/or Service Fees based on average daily net assets at the following rates:
Class A
Class C
0.25%
1.00%
The Distributor may also retain the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares, and the contingent deferred sales charge paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions for Class A and Class C shares. For the year ended May 31, 2021, the Distributor retained the following amounts in sales charges:
Class A
Class C
Initial Sales Charges:
$ 1,942 $
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges:
$ 14 $ 46
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At May 31, 2021, there were no direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Voya Financial, Inc. or affiliated investment companies that owned more than 5% of the Fund.
The Fund has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Fund purchases shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.
The Fund may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended May 31, 2021, the per
account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by the Fund were $8,737.
NOTE 7 — EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENT
Voya Investments has entered into a written expense limitation agreement (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Fund 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:
Class A(1)
Class C(1)
Class I(1)
Class R6(1)
Class W(1)
1.15%
1.90% 0.90% 0.90% 0.90%
(1)
These operating expense limits take into account operating expenses incurred at the Underlying Fund level. The amount of fees and expenses of an Underlying Fund borne by the Fund will vary based on the Fund’s allocation of assets to, and the net expenses of, a particular Underlying Fund.
The Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from the Fund for class specific fees waived and/or other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Fund’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees 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 May 31, 2021, the amounts of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser and the related expiration dates are as follows:

NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective May 14, 2021, the Fund, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 30-day extension of the 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 14, 2021. 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 Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount
payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to May 14, 2021, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through May 14, 2021.
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 Fund did not utilize the line of credit during the year ended May 31, 2021.

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, foreign currency transactions, futures contracts and wash sale deferrals.
Dividends paid by the Fund from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:

The Fund’s major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.
As of May 31, 2021, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 11 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021, and it remains unclear whether LIBOR will continue to exist after that date and, if so, in what form. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in many major currencies. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board, based on the recommendations of the New York Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), has begun publishing a Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) that is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication.
Discontinuance of LIBOR and adoption/implementation of alternative rates pose a number of risks, including among others whether any substitute rate will experience the market participation and liquidity necessary to provide a workable substitute for LIBOR; the effect on parties’ existing contractual arrangements, hedging transactions, and investment strategies generally from a conversion from LIBOR to alternative rates; the effect on the Fund’s existing investments (including, for example, fixed-income investments; senior loans; CLOs and CDOs; and derivatives transactions), including the possibility that some of those investments may terminate or their terms may be adjusted to the disadvantage of the Fund; and the risk of general market disruption during the period of the
conversion. It is difficult to predict at this time the likely impact of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund. On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced a delay in the phase out of a majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications to still end at the end of 2021.
NOTE 12 — LIQUIDITY
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has established a liquidity risk management program to govern its approach to managing liquidity risk (the “Program”). The Board has approved the designation of the Fund’s Investment Adviser, Voya Investments, as the program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator is responsible for implementing and monitoring the Program and has formed a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”) to assess and review, on an ongoing basis, the Fund’s liquidity risk.
The Program includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of liquidity risk factors and the periodic classification (or re-classification, as necessary) of the Fund’s investments into buckets (highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid and illiquid) that reflect the Committee’s assessment of the investments’ liquidity under current market conditions. The Committee also utilizes Fund-specific data, including information regarding the Fund’s shareholder base, characteristics of its investments, access to borrowing arrangements and historical redemptions to determine whether the Fund will be able to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner.
During the period covered by the annual assessment, January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Program supported the Fund’s ability to honor redemption requests in a timely manner and the Program Administrator’s management of the Fund’s liquidity risk, including during any periods of market volatility and net redemptions.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks.
NOTE 13 — MARKET DISRUPTION
The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange
23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of May 31, 2021 (continued)
NOTE 13 — MARKET DISRUPTION (continued)
rates in other countries, including the United States. War, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the investments of the portfolio and of the Fund. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund’s service providers.
NOTE 14 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
The Fund has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 introduces new fair value disclosure requirements as well as provides guidance that eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The impact of the Fund’s adoption was limited to changes in the Fund’s financial statement disclosures regarding fair value, primarily those disclosures related to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the
range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, when applicable. Upon evaluation, the Fund has concluded that the adoption of the new accounting standard does not materially impact the financial statement amounts.
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04.
NOTE 15 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Line of Credit Renewal: Effective June 14, 2021, the funds to which the Credit Agreement is available have entered into a renewed 364-Day Credit Agreement with BNY for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears.
The Fund has evaluated events occurring after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Other than the above, no such subsequent events were identified.

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 Fund (“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).

(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.

 

 

 

II.        Audit Services

 

The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the Committee’s specific pre-approval. Audit services are those services that are normally provided by auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements or those that generally only independent auditors can reasonably provide. They include the Funds’ annual financial statement audit and procedures that the independent auditors must perform in order to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements (e.g., information systems and procedural reviews and testing). The Committee will monitor the audit services engagement and approve any changes in terms, conditions or fees deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate.

 

The Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services, such as statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or issued in connection with securities offerings.

 

The Committee has pre-approved the audit services listed on Appendix A. The Committee must specifically approve all audit services not listed on Appendix A.

 

III.       Audit-related Services

 

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of the Funds’ financial statements or are traditionally performed by the independent auditors. The Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services will not impair the independent auditors’ independence, and therefore may grant pre-approval to audit-related services. Audit-related services include accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services;” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures relating to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-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.

 

IV.       Tax Services

 

The Committee believes the independent auditors can provide tax services to the Funds, including tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, without compromising the auditors’ independence. Therefore, the Committee may grant general pre-approval with respect to tax services historically provided by the Funds’ independent auditors that do not, in the Committee’s view, impair auditor independence and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

 

The Committee will not grant pre-approval if the independent auditors initially recommends a transaction the sole business purpose of which is tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Committee may consult outside counsel to determine that tax planning and reporting positions are consistent with this Policy.

 

 

 

The Committee has pre-approved the tax-related services listed on Appendix C. The Committee must specifically approve all tax-related services not listed on Appendix C.

 

V.        Other Services

 

The Committee believes it may grant approval of non-audit services that are permissible services for independent auditors to a Fund. The Committee has determined to grant general pre-approval to other services that it believes are routine and recurring, do not impair auditor independence, and are consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence.

 

The Committee has pre-approved the non-audit services listed on Appendix D. The Committee must specifically approve all non-audit services not listed on Appendix D.

 

A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this Policy as Appendix E. The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these impermissible services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the SEC’s prohibitions.

 

VI.       Pre-approval of Fee levels and Budgeted Amounts

 

The Committee will annually establish pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for audit, audit-related, tax and non-audit services to be provided to the Funds by the independent auditors. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts require the Committee’s specific pre-approval. The Committee considers fees for audit and non-audit services when deciding whether to pre-approve services. The Committee may determine, for a pre-approval period of 12 months, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for the Fund’s audit, audit-related, and tax services (including fees for services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services for the Fund classified as other services (including any such services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval).

 

VII.     Procedures

 

Requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditors will be submitted to management. If management determines that the services do not fall within those services generally pre-approved by the Committee and set out in the appendices to these procedures, management will submit the services to the Committee or its delagee. Any such submission will include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the Committee will, on a quarterly basis, receive from the independent auditors a list of services provided for the previous calendar quarter on a cumulative basis by the auditors during the Pre-Approval Period.

 

 

 

VIII.    Delegation

 

The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of the Committee’s members. Any member or members to whom such pre-approval authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions, including any pre-approved services, to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will identify any member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated in writing. The member will retain such authority for a period of 12 months from the date of pre-approval unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The period of delegated authority may be terminated by the Committee or at the option of the member.

 

IX.       Additional Requirements

 

The Committee will take any measures the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to oversee the work of the independent auditors and to assure the auditors’ independence from the Funds. This may include reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditors delineating all relationships between the auditors and the Funds, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the auditors their methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
