PRESIDENT’S LETTER
[MISSING IMAGE: ph_dina-santoro.jpg]
Despite Headwinds, Economy and Markets Continue to Advance
Dear Shareholder,
The financial markets continued to advance during the six-month period ended November 30, 2021, even as new variants of the COVID-19 virus resurrected threats of economic disruption and inflation fears stirred up economic uncertainty. U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) officials have acknowledged that the risk of persistently higher inflation has increased and have accelerated policy measures to contain it. In November, the Fed began “tapering,” i.e., reducing its monthly purchases of mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury securities; during the pandemic these purchases have helped to support the economy by keeping long-term interest rates low. Because of building inflation pressures, the Fed will double the pace of tapering, by trimming its purchases faster and thus may arrive sooner at a point where it will consider hiking interest rates, in our view.
Inflation worries notwithstanding, growth expectations in the United States remain resilient, in our view. Consumer confidence has been rising and consumers have kept on spending during 2021. While we believe the current inflationary environment no longer seems “transitory,” in our view many are miscasting it as a long-term, structural shift. Rather, we see current inflation as cyclical, i.e., persistent during this phase of above-trend growth, which we believe is likely to persist over the next two years or so. In this environment, we believe corporate earnings will continue to expand and stocks outperform, though not to the extent seen in 2021.
As we’ve often noted, the financial markets can sometimes confound expectations, so it’s important to have a plan for investing consistently through headwinds and tailwinds. Keep focused on your long-term goals and don’t get distracted by short-term fluctuations; however compelling or distracting they may seem. 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 working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
[MISSING IMAGE: sg_dina-santoro.jpg]

The views expressed in the President’s Letter reflect those of the President as of the date of the letter. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Voya mutual funds disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Voya mutual fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of investment intent on behalf of any Voya mutual fund. Reference to specific company securities should not be construed as recommendations or investment advice.
For more complete information, or to obtain a prospectus for any Voya mutual fund, please call your financial advisor or Voya Investments Distributor, LLC at (800) 992-0180 or log on to www.voyainvestments.com. A prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. A prospectus contains this information and other information about a fund. Check with your financial advisor to determine which Voya mutual funds are available for sale within their firm. Not all funds are available for sale at all firms.

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 June 1, 2021 to November 30, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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, except Large-Cap Growth, is a diversified series of the Trust. Effective October 7, 2021, Large-Cap Growth is a non-diversified series of the Trust. Prior to October 7, 2021, Large-Cap Growth was 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, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a 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.
Effective November 2, 2021, Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Prior to November 2, 2021, Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically converted 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
21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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.
22

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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
23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
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 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 November 30, 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 1/3% 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
25

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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.

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.
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 period ended November 30, 2021, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by each Fund were as follows:

NOTE 9 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 14, 2021, the Funds, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered
into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 13, 2022. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of a 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 June 14, 2021, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 14, 2021.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (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 each respective Fund’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under the Agreement as of November 30, 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 November 30, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 13 — LITIGATION (continued)
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 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
35

NOTE 13 — LITIGATION (continued)
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 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.
Almost a year later, the Second Circuit issued its ruling through a written decision published on August 20, 2021. The decision by the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court’s earlier dismissal of the Trustee’s claims against the
shareholder defendants. (While the decision does permit the Trustee to pursue a limited claim against Tribune’s former financial advisors, this will not affect any shareholder defendants).
The Trustee is challenging this decision. On September 7, 2021, the Trustee filed a petition with the Second Circuit seeking a panel rehearing or a rehearing en banc. One month later, on October 7, 2021, the Second Circuit issued an order denying the Trustee’s request for a rehearing. The Trustee may seek further review from the Supreme Court.
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
36

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 14 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”) (continued)
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 — 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. Wars, 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
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.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on November 18, 2021, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya 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, each a series of the Trust (the “Funds”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the sub-advisory contract (the “Sub-Advisory Contract,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the respective sub-adviser to each Fund (the “Sub-Adviser”) for an additional one year period ending November 30, 2022
In addition to the Board meeting on November 18, 2021, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 7, 2021, and November 16, 2021. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.
The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout
the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Fund (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Fund’s particular attributes, such as fund type and size, fund category (as determined by Morningstar, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data (“Morningstar”)), sales channels and structure and the Fund share class being compared to the Selected Peer Group; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process, including, but not limited to, investment performance, fee structure, and expense information. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager or the Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the Board determined that the omission of any such information was not material to its considerations. Additionally, the Board considered the impact of significant market volatility that occurred during and after the period for which information was requested in conducting its evaluation of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration, and each Board member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Fund’s investment management and sub-advisory arrangements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all
63

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Funds, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds as set forth in the Management Contracts, including oversight of the Funds’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions with respect to the Funds under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund are consistently complied with, and other periodic reports covering related matters.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Funds and the level of resources committed to the Funds (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Funds.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.
Fund Performance
In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of each Fund, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Fund’s Morningstar category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index identified in the Fund’s prospectus. With respect to Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund, the Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund assets allocated by the Manager to each Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a separate analysis of each Fund’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as a Fund grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedules that will result in a lower management fee rate when a Fund achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. The Board also considered that, while some of the Funds do not have management fee breakpoints, they may have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager or the Sub-Adviser could be shared with each Fund through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. In evaluating these matters, the Board also considered periodic management reports, Selected Peer Group comparisons, and industry information regarding economies of scale. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager.
Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from a Fund, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.
64

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by each Fund to the Manager compared to the Fund’s Selected Peer Group. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Fund, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered any fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Funds, including whether the Manager intends to propose any changes thereto. The Board also considered the extent to which the Manager currently waives management fees and/or reimburses a Fund for other Fund-level expenses at different rates for different share classes (“Differential Fee Waiver”), including the basis for the Manager’s determination that any Differential Fee Waiver does not and will not result in any cross-subsidization by one share class of another share class. For each Fund, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.
For each Fund, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Fund. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Fund, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each Fund both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Funds and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Funds’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Fund in
determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Funds. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Funds, including their ability to engage in soft-dollar transactions on behalf of the Funds. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Funds and the Manager and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 7, 2021, November 16, 2021, and/or November 18, 2021 meetings in relation to approving each Fund’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. In each case, the Fund’s performance was compared to its Morningstar category, as well as its primary benchmark. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2021. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 7, 2021, November 16, 2021, and/or November 18, 2021 meetings certain additional data regarding each Fund’s more recent performance, asset levels and asset flows. Each Fund’s management fee rate and expense ratio were compared to the management fee rates and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.
Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya Large-Cap Growth Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2021: (1) the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of its Morningstar category for the five-year and ten-year periods, the fourth quintile for the three-year period, and the fifth quintile for the year-to-date and

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
one-year periods; and (2) the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented.

In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a breakpoint fee schedule where the asset level necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Fund; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the fourth quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the fourth quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account management’s
representations regarding the competitiveness of the Fund’s management fee rate and net expense ratio.
Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2021: (1) the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of its Morningstar category for the three-year and ten-year periods, and the fourth quintile for the year-to-date, one-year, and five-year periods; and (2) the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented, with the exception of the year-to-date and one-year periods, during which it outperformed. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding: (1) the impact of security selection on the Fund’s performance; and (2) the competitiveness of the Fund’s performance during certain periods.
In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the economies of scale benefits to the Fund and its shareholders from breakpoint discounts applicable to the Fund’s management fee rate, which result in lower fees at higher asset levels; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the second quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.

In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2021: (1) the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of its Morningstar category for the one-year period, and the fourth quintile for the year-to-date, three-year, and five-year periods; and (2) the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the year-to-date and one-year periods and underperformed for the three-year and five-year periods. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding: (1) the impact of each Sub-Adviser’s investment style and security selection on the Fund’s performance; (2) the competitiveness of the Fund’s performance during certain periods; and (3) its continued evaluation of potential changes to the Fund.
66

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)

In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a level fee rate that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the first quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the first quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Fund is ranked in the first quintile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
Board Conclusion
After its deliberation, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable to each Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Contracts is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In doing so, the Board reviewed all factors it considered to be material, including those discussed above. Within the context of its overall conclusions regarding the Contracts, and based on the information provided and management’s related representations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with management’s responses relating to each Fund’s investment performance and the fees payable under the Contracts. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Contracts for each Fund for the year ending November 30, 2022.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
[MISSING IMAGE: ph_dina-santoro.jpg]
Despite Headwinds, Economy and Markets Continue to Advance
Dear Shareholder,
The financial markets continued to advance during the six-month period ended November 30, 2021, even as new variants of the COVID-19 virus resurrected threats of economic disruption and inflation fears stirred up economic uncertainty. U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) officials have acknowledged that the risk of persistently higher inflation has increased and have accelerated policy measures to contain it. In November, the Fed began “tapering,” i.e., reducing its monthly purchases of mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury securities; during the pandemic these purchases have helped to support the economy by keeping long-term interest rates low. Because of building inflation pressures, the Fed will double the pace of tapering, by trimming its purchases faster and thus may arrive sooner at a point where it will consider hiking interest rates, in our view.
Inflation worries notwithstanding, growth expectations in the United States remain resilient, in our view. Consumer confidence has been rising and consumers have kept on spending during 2021. While we believe the current inflationary environment no longer seems “transitory,” in our view many are miscasting it as a long-term, structural shift. Rather, we see current inflation as cyclical, i.e., persistent during this phase of above-trend growth, which we believe is likely to persist over the next two years or so. In this environment, we believe corporate earnings will continue to expand and stocks outperform, though not to the extent seen in 2021.
As we’ve often noted, the financial markets can sometimes confound expectations, so it’s important to have a plan for investing consistently through headwinds and tailwinds. Keep focused on your long-term goals and don’t get distracted by short-term fluctuations; however compelling or distracting they may seem. 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 working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
[MISSING IMAGE: sg_dina-santoro.jpg]

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 June 1, 2021 to November 30, 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.

(1)
Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions, if any, at net asset value and excluding the deduction of sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges, if applicable. Total return for periods less than one year is not annualized.
(2)
Annualized for periods less than one year.
(3)
Ratios reflect operating expenses of a Fund. Expenses before reductions/additions do not reflect amounts reimbursed or recouped by the Investment Adviser and/or Distributor or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by a Fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the Investment Adviser and/or Distributor or recoupment of previously reimbursed fees by the Investment Adviser, but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions/additions represent the net expenses paid by a Fund. Net investment income (loss) is net of all such additions or reductions.
(4)
Commencement of operations.
+
Unaudited.

Calculated using average number of shares outstanding throughout the year or period.
*
Amount is less than $0.005 or 0.005% or more than $(0.005) or (0.005)%.

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, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a 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.
Effective November 2, 2021, Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Prior to November 2, 2021, Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically converted 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
10

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (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 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
11

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (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.
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,
12

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
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
13

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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, 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 period ended November 30, 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 period ended November 30, 2021, Corporate Leaders® 100 had an average notional amount on futures contracts purchased of $10,518,263. Please refer to the table within the Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts for Corporate Leaders® 100 at November 30, 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
14

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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 3 — INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Class A, Class C and Class R shares of each Fund has a plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”), 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 of the Funds pays the Distributor Distribution Fees and/or Service Fees based on average daily net assets at the following rates:
Class A
Class C

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 period ended November 30, 2021, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by each Fund were as follows:

NOTE 9 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 14, 2021, the Funds, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 13, 2022. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of a 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 June 14, 2021, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 14, 2021.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (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 November 30, 2021:

Cash Collateral with a fair value of $4,075,881 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 November 30, 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 2
NOTE 14 — 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. Wars, 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 15 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting held on November 18, 2021, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Corporate Leaders® 100 Fund and Voya Small Company Fund, each a series of the Trust (the “Funds”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the sub-adviser to each Fund (the “Sub-Adviser”) for an additional one year period ending November 30, 2022.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 18, 2021, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 7, 2021, and November 16, 2021. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.
The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment
performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Fund (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Fund’s particular attributes, such as fund type and size, fund category (as determined by Morningstar, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data (“Morningstar”)), sales channels and structure and the Fund share class being compared to the Selected Peer Group; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process, including, but not limited to, investment performance, fee structure, and expense information. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager or the Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the Board determined that the omission of any such information was not material to its considerations. Additionally, the Board considered the impact of significant market volatility that occurred during and after the period for which information was requested in conducting its evaluation of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration, and each Board member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Fund’s investment management and sub-advisory arrangements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all
30

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Funds, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds as set forth in the Management Contracts, including oversight of the Funds’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions with respect to the Funds under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund are consistently complied with, and other periodic reports covering related matters.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Funds and the level of resources committed to the Funds (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Funds.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.
Fund Performance
In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of each Fund, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Fund’s Morningstar category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index identified in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a separate analysis of each Fund’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as a Fund grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedules that will result in a lower management fee rate when a Fund achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. The Board also considered that, in addition to the management fee breakpoints, the Funds may have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager or the Sub-Adviser could be shared with each Fund through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. The Board also considered the impact of fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements in instances where a share class of a Fund is operating such that its expense ratio is below the expense limit applicable to that share class. In evaluating these matters, the Board also considered periodic management reports, Selected Peer Group comparisons, and industry information regarding economies of scale. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager.
Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially
31

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
from a Fund, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.
Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by each Fund to the Manager compared to the Fund’s Selected Peer Group. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Fund, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered any fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Funds, including whether the Manager intends to propose any changes thereto. The Board also considered the extent to which the Manager currently waives management fees and/or reimburses a Fund for other Fund-level expenses at different rates for different share classes (“Differential Fee Waiver”), including the basis for the Manager’s determination that any Differential Fee Waiver does not and will not result in any cross-subsidization by one share class of another share class. For each Fund, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.
For each Fund, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Fund. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Fund, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each Fund both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Funds and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager
and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Funds’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Fund in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Funds. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Funds, including their ability to engage in soft-dollar transactions on behalf of the Funds. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Funds and the Manager and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 7, 2021, November 16, 2021, and/or November 18, 2021 meetings in relation to approving each Fund’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. In each case, the Fund’s performance was compared to its Morningstar category, as well as its primary benchmark. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2021. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 7, 2021, November 16, 2021, and/or November 18, 2021 meetings certain additional data regarding each Fund’s more recent performance, asset levels and asset flows. Each Fund’s management fee rate and expense ratio were compared to the management fee rates and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.
Voya Corporate Leaders® 100 Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya Corporate Leaders® 100 Fund, the
32

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2021: (1) the Fund is ranked in the first quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date period, the second quintile for the one-year period, the third quintile for the three-year and ten-year periods, and the fourth quintile for the five-year period; and (2) the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the year-to-date and one-year periods and underperformed for the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding the competitiveness of the Fund’s performance during certain periods.
In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the economies of scale benefits to the Fund and its shareholders from breakpoint discounts applicable to the Fund’s management fee rate, which result in lower fees at higher asset levels; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
Voya Small Company Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya Small Company Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2021: (1) the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of its Morningstar category for the ten-year period, the fourth quintile for the one-year, three-year, and five-year periods, and the fifth quintile for the year to-date period; and (2) the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding: (1) the impact of security selection on the Fund’s performance during certain periods; (2) its expectation that performance
will improve in the long-term; and (3) its confidence in the Sub-Adviser’s ability to execute the Fund’s investment strategy.
In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the economies of scale benefits to the Fund and its shareholders from breakpoint discounts applicable to the Fund’s management fee rate, which result in lower fees at higher asset levels; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the second quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the fourth quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Fund is ranked in the fourth quintile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account: (1) that, as a result of the Board’s request during the renewal process, the Fund’s contractual expense limits will be reduced, effective January 1, 2022, and (2) management’s representations regarding its belief that the Fund’s pricing is competitive.
Board Conclusion
After its deliberation, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable to each Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Contracts is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In doing so, the Board reviewed all factors it considered to be material, including those discussed above. Within the context of its overall conclusions regarding the Contracts, and based on the information provided and management’s related representations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with management’s responses relating to each Fund’s investment performance and the fees payable under the Contracts. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Contracts for each Fund for the year ending November 30, 2022.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
[MISSING IMAGE: ph_dina-santoro.jpg]
Despite Headwinds, Economy and Markets Continue to Advance
Dear Shareholder,
The financial markets continued to advance during the six-month period ended November 30, 2021, even as new variants of the COVID-19 virus resurrected threats of economic disruption and inflation fears stirred up economic uncertainty. U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) officials have acknowledged that the risk of persistently higher inflation has increased and have accelerated policy measures to contain it. In November, the Fed began “tapering,” i.e., reducing its monthly purchases of mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury securities; during the pandemic these purchases have helped to support the economy by keeping long-term interest rates low. Because of building inflation pressures, the Fed will double the pace of tapering, by trimming its purchases faster and thus may arrive sooner at a point where it will consider hiking interest rates, in our view.
Inflation worries notwithstanding, growth expectations in the United States remain resilient, in our view. Consumer confidence has been rising and consumers have kept on spending during 2021. While we believe the current inflationary environment no longer seems “transitory,” in our view many are miscasting it as a long-term, structural shift. Rather, we see current inflation as cyclical, i.e., persistent during this phase of above-trend growth, which we believe is likely to persist over the next two years or so. In this environment, we believe corporate earnings will continue to expand and stocks outperform, though not to the extent seen in 2021.
As we’ve often noted, the financial markets can sometimes confound expectations, so it’s important to have a plan for investing consistently through headwinds and tailwinds. Keep focused on your long-term goals and don’t get distracted by short-term fluctuations; however compelling or distracting they may seem. 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 working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
[MISSING IMAGE: sg_dina-santoro.jpg]

The views expressed in the President’s Letter reflect those of the President as of the date of the letter. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and the Voya mutual funds disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Voya mutual fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of investment intent on behalf of any Voya mutual fund. Reference to specific company securities should not be construed as recommendations or investment advice.
For more complete information, or to obtain a prospectus for any Voya mutual fund, please call your financial advisor or Voya Investments Distributor, LLC at (800) 992-0180 or log on to www.voyainvestments.com. A prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. A prospectus contains this information and other information about a fund. Check with your financial advisor to determine which Voya mutual funds are available for sale within their firm. Not all funds are available for sale at all firms.

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 June 1, 2021 to November 30, 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.

Ratios reflect operating expenses of a Fund. Expenses before reductions/additions do not reflect amounts reimbursed or recouped by the Investment Adviser and/or Distributor or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by a Fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the Investment Adviser and/or Distributor or recoupment of previously reimbursed fees by the Investment Adviser, but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions/additions represent the net expenses paid by a Fund. Net investment income (loss) is net of all such additions or reductions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a 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.
Effective November 2, 2021, Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Prior to November 2, 2021, Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically converted 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (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
10

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (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.
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
11

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, were as follows:
Purchases
Sales
$ 48,169,592

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
Class A, Class C, and Class R shares of the Fund 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 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the Distributor retained the following amounts in sales charges:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES (continued)
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 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by the Fund were $11,479.
NOTE 7 — LICENSING FEE
The Fund pays an annual licensing fee to S&P Opco, LLC.
NOTE 8 — EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENTS

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 November 30, 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, 2022 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 June 14, 2021, the Fund, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 13, 2022. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of 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 June 14, 2021, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 14, 2021.

NOTE 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

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 November 30, 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 — MARKET DISRUPTION
The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global

economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events 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 15 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) —  Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04
provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on November 18, 2021, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Mid Cap Research Enhanced Index Fund, a series of the Trust (the “Fund”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contract (the “Management Contract”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the sub-advisory contract (the “Sub-Advisory Contract,” and together with the Management Contract, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the sub-adviser to the Fund (the “Sub-Adviser”) for an additional one year period ending November 30, 2022.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 18, 2021, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 7, 2021, and November 16, 2021. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.
The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that
IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for the Fund (“Selected Peer Group”) based on the Fund’s particular attributes, such as fund type and size, fund category (as determined by Morningstar, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data (“Morningstar”)), sales channels and structure, and the Fund share class being compared to the Selected Peer Group; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process, including, but not limited to, investment performance, fee structure, and expense information. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager or the Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the Board determined that the omission of any such information was not material to its considerations. Additionally, the Board considered the impact of significant market volatility that occurred during and after the period for which information was requested in conducting its evaluation of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration, and each Board member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Fund’s investment management and sub-advisory arrangements.
23

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund as set forth in the Management Contract, including oversight of the Fund’s operations and risk management and the oversight of its various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions with respect to the Fund under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for the Fund are consistently complied with, and other periodic reports covering related matters.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Fund and the level of resources committed to the Fund (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Fund.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.
Fund Performance
In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of the Fund, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Fund’s Morningstar category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index identified in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a separate analysis of the Fund’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedule, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as the Fund grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule that will result in a lower management fee rate when the Fund achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. The Board also considered that, in addition to the management fee breakpoints, the Fund has fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager or the Sub-Adviser could be shared with the Fund through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. In evaluating these matters, the Board also considered periodic management reports, Selected Peer Group comparisons, and industry information regarding economies of scale. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager.
Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially
24

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
from the Fund, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.
Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by the Fund to the Manager compared to the Fund’s Selected Peer Group. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for the Fund, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered the fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Fund, including whether the Manager intends to propose any changes thereto. The Board also considered the extent to which the Manager currently waives management fees and/or reimburses the Fund for other Fund-level expenses at different rates for different share classes (“Differential Fee Waiver”), including the basis for the Manager’s determination that any Differential Fee Waiver does not and will not result in any cross-subsidization by one share class of another share class. The Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.
The Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Fund. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to the Fund, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing the Fund both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Fund and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager
and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Fund’s operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to the Fund in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Fund. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Fund, including their ability to engage in soft-dollar transactions on behalf of the Fund. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Fund and the Manager and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.
Fund Analysis
Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 7, 2021, November 16, 2021, and/or November 18, 2021 meetings in relation to approving the Fund’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The Fund’s performance was compared to its Morningstar category, as well as its primary benchmark. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2021. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 7, 2021, November 16, 2021, and/or November 18, 2021 meetings certain additional data regarding the Fund’s more recent performance, asset levels and asset flows. The Fund’s management fee rate and expense ratio were compared to the management fee rates and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya Mid Cap Research Enhanced Index Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance
25

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
data for the periods ended March 31, 2021: (1) the Fund is ranked in the second quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date and one-year periods, and the fourth quintile for the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods; and (2) the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding: (1) the competitiveness of the Fund’s performance during certain periods; (2) the fact that longer-term performance data represents a different investment strategy and portfolio management team as changes were implemented to both in May 2016; and (3) the Fund’s improved performance during more recent periods.
In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a breakpoint fee schedule where the asset level necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Fund; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the third
quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Fund is ranked in the fourth quintile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account management’s representations regarding its belief that the Fund’s pricing is competitive.
Board Conclusion
After its deliberation, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable to the Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Contracts is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In doing so, the Board reviewed all factors it considered to be material, including those discussed above. Within the context of its overall conclusions regarding the Contracts, and based on the information provided and management’s related representations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with management’s responses relating to the Fund’s investment performance and the fees payable under the Contracts. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Contracts for the Fund for the year ending November 30, 2022.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
[MISSING IMAGE: ph_dinasantoro-bw.jpg]
Despite Headwinds, Economy and Markets Continue to Advance
Dear Shareholder,
The financial markets continued to advance during the six-month period ended November 30, 2021, even as new variants of the COVID-19 virus resurrected threats of economic disruption and inflation fears stirred up economic uncertainty. U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) officials have acknowledged that the risk of persistently higher inflation has increased and have accelerated policy measures to contain it. In November, the Fed began “tapering,” i.e., reducing its monthly purchases of mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury securities; during the pandemic these purchases have helped to support the economy by keeping long-term interest rates low. Because of building inflation pressures, the Fed will double the pace of tapering, by trimming its purchases faster and thus may arrive sooner at a point where it will consider hiking interest rates, in our view.
Inflation worries notwithstanding, growth expectations in the United States remain resilient, in our view. Consumer confidence has been rising and consumers have kept on spending during 2021. While we believe the current inflationary environment no longer seems “transitory,” in our view many are miscasting it as a long-term, structural shift. Rather, we see current inflation as cyclical, i.e., persistent during this phase of above-trend growth, which we believe is likely to persist over the next two years or so. In this environment, we believe corporate earnings will continue to expand and stocks outperform, though not to the extent seen in 2021.
As we’ve often noted, the financial markets can sometimes confound expectations, so it’s important to have a plan for investing consistently through headwinds and tailwinds. Keep focused on your long-term goals and don’t get distracted by short-term fluctuations; however compelling or distracting they may seem. 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 working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
[MISSING IMAGE: sg_dinasantoro-bw.jpg]

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 June 1, 2021 to November 30, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a 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.
Effective November 2, 2021, Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Prior to November 2, 2021, Class C shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically converted 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 November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (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
10

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (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.
11

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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
12

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (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 November 30, 2021, the maximum amount of loss the Fund would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $1,231,510 which represents the gross payments to be received by the Fund on open forward foreign currency contracts and OTC total return swaps were they to be unwound as of November 30, 2021. To reduce the amount of potential loss to the Fund, certain counterparties have pledged $460,000 in cash collateral for open OTC derivatives.
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 November 30, 2021, the Fund had a liability position of $492,661 on open forward foreign currency contracts. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of November 30, 2021, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. As of November 30, 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the Fund had an average contract amount on forward foreign currency contracts to buy and sell of $20,056,566 and $21,479,009, respectively. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contracts at November 30, 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
13

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are 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 period ended November 30, 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the Fund had average notional amounts on futures contracts purchased and sold of $23,778,067 and $23,511,756, respectively. Please refer to the table within the Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts at November 30, 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
14

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
securities, or an index, and in return receives a fixed or variable rate. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the Fund entered into total return swaps on equity indices with an average notional amount of $6,997,145 and $6,999,029 on receiver and payer total return swaps, respectively. Please refer to the table within the Portfolio of Investments for open total return swaps at November 30, 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, were as follows:
Purchases
Sales
$19,186,651
$ 23,455,273
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
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 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the Distributor retained the following amounts in sales charges:
Class A
Class C
Initial Sales Charges: $ 1,234 $
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges:
14 100
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At November 30, 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 period ended November 30, 2021, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by the Fund were $4,845.
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 November 30, 2021, the amounts of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser and the related expiration dates are as follows:
November 30,

The Expense Limitation Agreement is contractual through October 1, 2022 and shall renew automatically for one-year terms. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.
NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 14, 2021, the Fund, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 13, 2022. The proceeds may
be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of 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 June 14, 2021, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 14, 2021.
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 utilized the line of credit during the period ended November 30, 2021, as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)
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 November 30, 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 — MARKET DISRUPTION
The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events 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

NOTE 12 — MARKET DISRUPTION (continued)
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 13 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
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.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on November 18, 2021, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Equity Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Global Multi-Asset Fund, a series of the Trust (the “Fund”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contract (the “Management Contract”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the sub-advisory contract (the “Sub-Advisory Contract,” and together with the Management Contract, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC , the sub-adviser to the Fund (the “Sub-Adviser”) for an additional one year period ending November 30, 2022.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 18, 2021, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 7, 2021, and November 16, 2021. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.
The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for the Fund (“Selected Peer Group”) based on the Fund’s particular attributes, such as fund type and size, fund category (as determined by Morningstar, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data (“Morningstar”)), sales channels and structure, and the Fund share class being compared to the Selected Peer Group; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process, including, but not limited to, investment performance, fee structure, and expense information. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager or the Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the Board determined that the omission of any such information was not material to its considerations. Additionally, the Board considered the impact of significant market volatility that occurred during and after the period for which information was requested in conducting its evaluation of the Manager and the Sub-Adviser.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration, and each Board member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Fund’s investment management and sub-advisory arrangements.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Fund, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition,
25

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund as set forth in the Management Contract, including oversight of the Fund’s operations and risk management and the oversight of its various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions with respect to the Fund under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for the Fund are consistently complied with, and other periodic reports covering related matters.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Fund and the level of resources committed to the Fund (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Fund.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.
Fund Performance
In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of the Fund, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Fund’s Morningstar category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index identified in the Fund’s prospectus. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a separate analysis of the Fund’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedule, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as the Fund grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted the breakpoints in the management fee schedule that will result in a lower management fee rate when a Fund achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. The Board also considered that, in addition to the management fee breakpoints, the Fund has fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager or the Sub-Adviser could be shared with the Fund through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. In evaluating these matters, the Board also considered periodic management reports, Selected Peer Group comparisons, and industry information regarding economies of scale. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager.
Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from the Fund, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.
26

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by the Fund to the Manager compared to the Fund’s Selected Peer Group. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for the Fund, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered the fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Fund, including whether the Manager intends to propose any changes thereto. The Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.
The Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya‑affiliated Sub-Adviser related to its services to the Fund. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to the Fund, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing the Fund both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Fund and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Fund’s operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to the Fund in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya‑affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Fund. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Fund, including their ability to engage in soft-dollar transactions on behalf of the Fund. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Fund and the Manager and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.
Fund Analysis
Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 7, 2021, November 16, 2021, and/or November 18, 2021 meetings in relation to approving the Fund’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The Fund’s performance was compared to its Morningstar category, as well as its primary benchmark. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2021. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 7, 2021, November 16, 2021, and/or November 18, 2021 meetings certain additional data regarding the Fund’s more recent performance, asset levels and asset flows. The Fund’s management fee rate and expense ratio were compared to the management fee rates and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for the Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2021: (1) the Fund is ranked in the first quintile of its Morningstar category for the one-year and five-year periods, the second quintile for the three-year and ten-year periods, and the third quintile for the year-to-date period; and (2) the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the year-to-date and one-year periods and underperformed for the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods.
In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a
27

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
breakpoint fee schedule on assets invested in direct investments or unaffiliated funds where the asset level necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Fund and a level-fee rate that does not include breakpoints on assets invested in affiliated funds; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the all-in net expense ratio for the Fund, inclusive of the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”), is ranked in the third quintile of all-in net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group, and the net expense ratio for the Fund, not inclusive of AFFE, is above the median of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account: (1) that, as reflected in the AFFE, the Fund indirectly bears the fees payable by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests; and
(2) Management’s representations regarding the competitiveness of the Fund’s management fee rate and all-in net expense ratio.
Board Conclusion
After its deliberation, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable to the Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Contracts is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In doing so, the Board reviewed all factors it considered to be material, including those discussed above. Within the context of its overall conclusions regarding the Contracts, and based on the information provided and management’s related representations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with management’s responses relating to the Fund’s investment performance and the fees payable under the Contracts. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Contracts for the Fund for the year ending November 30, 2022.
