Voya Balanced Portfolio Portfolio Managers’ Report

 

Voya Balanced Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks total return consisting of capital appreciation (both realized and unrealized) and current income; the secondary investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio uses an asset allocation strategy (“Target Asset Allocation”) to invest in a diversified portfolio of various asset classes and investment strategies. The Portfolio is managed by Lanyon Blair, CFA, and Barbara Reinhard, CFA, Portfolio Managers* of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”) — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 15.92% compared to the S&P Target Risk® Growth Index, Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond”), MSCI EAFE® Index (“MSCI EAFE®”) and Russell 3000® Index, which returned 15.38%, 5.53%, 18.24% and 25.96%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: At the beginning of the period, the Portfolio was underweight in equity and overweight to fixed income relative to its strategic allocation benchmark. Equity sub-asset class allocations were overweight to U.S. small cap equities and U.S. core fixed income and underweight in U.S. large cap and international developed equites. Within fixed income, the Portfolio was underweight in U.S. high yield and overweight to U.S. long duration government bonds.

In early January, the Portfolio added to U.S. mid cap and emerging markets equity by reducing core fixed income. Risk appetite was overly depressed, which gave a contrarian signal that in our opinion equities could still rally. China’s re-opening and favorable relative valuations offered a good adding point for emerging market equities and allocating to U.S. mid caps helped diversify away from U.S. large cap technology. In early February, prior to a big run-up in yields before the emergence of banking sector stress, the Portfolio reduced duration. Inflation appeared hotter than expected at the time, yields were approaching a resistance level and a more neutral duration posture was the prudent positioning, in our view.

 

As part of its annual review in early April, the Portfolio’s strategic asset allocations were reset, resulting in reduced strategic allocations to stocks. Target allocations to U.S. large cap, international developed equities and core U.S. bonds were reduced, while U.S. mid cap and short-term bonds were increased. Later in the period, we cut some of the Portfolio’s underweights in international developed equities as a risk management trade, despite the region’s still unfavorable risk- reward profile. Finally, at the end of April, we reduced U.S. small cap equities and increased U.S. large cap equities. At the time, U.S. small caps remained oversold and traded at attractive relative valuations, but concerns over regional banking issues were expected to weigh on the asset class in the near-term.

 

There were no other fundamental asset allocation trades during the remainder of the period. The Portfolio continues to favor U.S. assets and maintain modestly defensive posture overall with a preference for U.S. large cap equities and core investment grade fixed income.

Overall, tactical asset allocation positioning relative to the strategic asset allocation was a challenge to performance.Holding underlying funds contributed to the Portfolio’s performance for the year. The U.S. large cap equity sleeve was the main contributor to excess returns. The U.S. core fixed income sleeve also added value.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: After unexpectedly strong performance from the U.S. economy and capital markets last year, investors enter 2024 more upbeat. While we are encouraged about the progress of inflation and the resiliency of consumers and corporations, we think noticeably slower economic growth, fair to modestly extended valuations and very optimistic forecasts around U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts could limit upside potential for stocks. We see rates markets are providing little room for yields to decline outside a meaningful slowing of economic growth. Despite high expectations, we think global stocks and bonds can produce respectable

returns throughout the year. The current setting presents opportunities for allocators to benefit from divergences in global policy, business cycles and pricing of risk. In this macro environment, we emphasize balance in the Portfolios, but believe U.S. exceptionalism is set to persist.

 

The disinflationary process continues as decongested supply chain issues and slowing demand forces have accounted for most of the recent relief. We see more downside from factors such as shelter, and weaker wage growth as the lagged impact of tighter monetary policy further filters into the labor market, where there are early signs of weakness — such as declining job openings and quits. However, we do not expect significant deterioration in the labor market. We believe limited private sector overreach and rising real incomes from falling inflation should keep the growth downturn mild.

 

In our opinion, U.S. equities may continue to outperform other countries and regions, driven by their higher growth potential, proactive corporate rightsizing and robust earnings from unrivaled software innovation. We continue to be cautious on Europe as we believe the region’s cyclical gearing and relatively high interest rate sensitivity has made the sting from tighter policy more broadly felt. Europe is also more exposed to energy supply shocks and external demand from China, which is struggling. Exports have plunged, due in part to U.S. companies’ efforts to re-shore or move offshore manufacturing elsewhere. Furthermore, China’s real estate sector, their main growth engine, is in our opinion, in freefall. We are mindful that sentiment is beaten down and look for signs that the Chinese authorities will implement coordinated policy action before shifting stances.

Voya Global High Dividend Low Volatility Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital growth and current income. The Portfolio is managed by Steve Wetter, Kai Yee Wong, Peg DiOrio, CFA, and Vincent Costa, CFA, Portfolio Managers(1) of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 6.43% compared to the MSCI World Value IndexSM (the “Index” or “MSCI World Value”) which returned 11.51% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Portfolio underperformed the Index. In terms of the Portfolio’s performance, the Portfolio’s lower beta positioning detracted, while the core model contributed.

 

On the regional level, stock selection was weakest in North America. On the sector level, stock selection was strong in the energy sector. At the individual stock level, not owning Exxon Mobil Corp., the underweight in Chevron Corp. and exposure to non-benchmark stock Sage Group PLC contributed.

By contrast, at the sector level stock selection was weakest in the information technology and financials sectors. At the individual stock level, not owning Broadcom Inc. and Intel Corporation and the overweight to Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. detracted from relative returns.

 

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

Portfolio Managers’ Report Voya Government Money Market Portfolio
   

 

 

Voya Government Money Market Portfolio* (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide high current return, consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, through investment in high-quality money market instruments, while maintaining a stable share price of $1.00 per share. The Portfolio is managed by David S. Yealy, Portfolio Manager of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”) — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 4.77% compared to the iMoneyNet Government Institutional Index, which returned 4.83% for the same period.

  

Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period ended December 31, 2023, preservation of capital and keeping an excess liquidity cushion were our primary objectives for the Portfolio during the period. Maximizing the yield and the total return of the fund remained a secondary objective.

2023 was a year of uncertainty, from the banking crisis early in the year to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s unexpected pivot on interest rates in December. The U.S. economy remained surprisingly resilient, driven by low unemployment, rising wages, robust consumer spending and increased investment in manufacturing. Volatility persisted in the U.S. bond market but ended the year on a strong note.

 

The yield on the U.S. Treasury 10-year note remained in a tight range for the first seven months of the year before spiking in August following news of a red-hot jobs market and then, ultimately falling in December to near where it began the year as inflation and employment both moderated. Credit-sensitive bond sectors, such as high yield and bank loans, provided investors with equity-like returns for the year. Emerging market debt staged a comeback from a difficult 2022 thanks to waning inflation and a weakening U.S. dollar.

 

The Portfolio maintained a shorter than normal weighted average maturity (“WAM”) for the majority of the reporting period. Early in the year, we anticipated further hikes after 2022’s aggressive moves. The Fed raised rates four out of its first five meetings for a total of 100 basis points, before pausing and ending the year in the range of 5.25–5.50%.

 

In addition to the Portfolio’s shorter WAM, it held floating rate Treasuries tied to the three-month Treasury bill, which added yield early in the year. The Portfolio then shifted to floating rate agencies tied to the secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”). At the time, we believed the SOFR would be higher than the three-month Treasury bill as the market priced in rate cuts. This belief persists for 2024.

 

Outlook and Current Strategy: As the market focus shifts from inflation to growth concerns, in our view duration will become an effective offset to risky asset drawdowns. It is our opinion that rate volatility, though receding from recent peaks, will remain above pre-pandemic levels due to uncertainty about the timing of rate cuts and concerns about government debt levels. Elevated real rates will incent investors to increase allocations to fixed income, creating opportunities during bouts of volatility.

 

That said, we believe many corners of the market appear to be priced for a soft landing. While this has become a more likely outcome, we believe the risks to this outcome materializing are being ignored. Labor markets are coming into better balance which, while good news for inflation, could cause concern among workers that a turn in the cycle is approaching. This in turn could compel workers to boost savings rates which would limit consumption and act as a challenge to growth.

 

As such, we think the Fed will cut rates in 2024, although not as soon as or by as much as the market is currently pricing in. We will look for opportunities to extend WAM if the market moves in line with our view. We expect ample openings over the year to make that shift as inflation and labor data trend smoothly. Until then, we will keep a shorter WAM and continue to buy floating-rate agencies.

Voya Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stock and securities convertible into common stocks. It is anticipated that capital appreciation and investment income will both be major factors in achieving total return. The Portfolio is managed by Vincent Costa, CFA, James Dorment, CFA, and Gregory Wachsman, CFA, Portfolio Managers of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 27.39% compared to the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”), which returned 26.29% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Portfolio outperformed the Index, due to strong stock selection. Stock selection within the health care, financials and consumer discretionary sectors had the greatest positive impact on performance. At the individual stock level, overweight positions in Amazon.com, Inc. and NVIDIA Corp. and an underweight position in Apple Inc. contributed the most to performance. By contrast, on the sector level, stock selection in communication services had the largest negative impact on relative performance. Key detractors included an underweight position in Meta Platforms Inc., not owning Tesla, Inc. and an overweight position in AT&T Inc.

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

Portfolio Managers’ Report Voya Intermediate BonD Portfolio
   

 

 

 

Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize total return consistent with reasonable risk. The Portfolio seeks its objective through investments in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of debt securities. It is anticipated that capital appreciation and investment income will both be major factors in achieving total return. The Portfolio is managed by David Goodson, Randall Parrish, CFA, Matthew Toms, CFA, and Sean Banai, CFA, Portfolio Managers* of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 7.28% compared to the Bloomberg

 

U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond”), which returned 5.53% for the same period.

  

Portfolio Specifics: After experiencing the worst bout of inflation in 40 years in 2022, inflation continued to remain elevated in 2023. That said, significant progress was made over the course of the year, with core Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (“PCE”) ending November at 3.2%. This was accomplished in part by the U.S. Federal Reserve continuing to hike rates and reduce the size of their balance sheet. At the start of the year, many were expecting a recession however this clearly did not play out. In fact, economic data came in relatively strong, and gross domestic product (GDP) growth came in above trend.

Over the course of the year, longer term rates ebbed and flowed with economic data. Overall, rates spent a majority of the year moving higher as the timeline for recession continued to get pushed out. By October, the 10-year treasury had hit 5%. Shortly thereafter, many began to speculate that the Fed was at the end of their hiking cycle due to the meaningful decline in the level of inflation. At their final meeting of the year, Jerome Powell's post meeting press conference all but confirmed this was the case. As a result, rates staged a significant rally through the end of the year, ending only marginally higher than where they started.

 

Credit markets broadly moved in line with rates. Spreads widened in response to better-than-expected economic data or higher than expected inflation and tightened when the reverse occurred. The key difference is that credit spreads ended of the year inside of where they started.

 

The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark. Sector allocation decisions contributed to relative performance. Our allocation to high yield was the top contributor, followed by non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and credit risk transfer (“CRT”). Security selection also contributed albeit to a lesser extent. Off benchmark selections within agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and asset backed securities (“ABS”) contributed strongly, as did selections within investment grade (“IG”) corporate. Offsetting some of these results were selections within commercial mortgage- backed securities (“CMBS”), with a handful of subordinate conduit credit positions being responsible for a majority of the underperformance. Duration and yield curve positioning detracted slightly from relative performance.

The Portfolio used derivatives such as futures, swaps options and forward contracts for hedging and overall risk management. The use of derivatives detracted from performance for the period.

 

Current Strategy & Outlook: Looking forward, the outlook has improved marginally, however we still expect growth to slow below trend. The increased cost of capital will likely curb consumption and investment, however ongoing government support measures at a global level are expected to partially offset these effects. In particular, China's growth focused investment and advanced economies efforts to enhance supply chain security are anticipated to bolster growth in the short term.

Voya Intermediate BonD Portfolio Portfolio Managers’ Report
   

  

As the market focus shifts from inflation to growth concerns, we believe duration will become an effective offset to risky asset drawdowns. Rate volatility, though receding from recent peaks, will remain above pre-pandemic levels due to uncertainty about the timing of rate cuts and concerns about government debt levels. We believe elevated real rates will incent investors to increase allocations to fixed income, creating opportunities during bouts of volatility.

 

That said, many corners of the market appear to be priced for a soft landing. While this has become a more likely outcome, we believe the risks to this outcome materializing are being ignored. Labor markets are coming into better balance which, while good news for inflation, could cause concern among workers that a turn in the cycle is approaching. This in turn could compel workers to boost savings rates which would limit consumption and act as a challenge to growth.

 

With this dynamic in place, the Portfolio has a moderate level of risk with focus on higher quality credit , and allocations are skewed towards sectors with better relative value. For example, securitized credit markets are currently trading with wider spreads relative to comparably rated corporates bonds.

 

Meanwhile, the dark clouds facing the sector due to concerns over CMBS appear to be fading as lower rates make refinancing existing loans less challenging. Within corporate credit, we prefer IG, however to the extent we are willing to drift into lower quality, we prefer high yield over senior loans given the latter is most directly impacted by higher financing costs. Outside of credit, agency MBS remain attractive relative to treasuries due to historically wide spreads despite minimal prepayment risk.

Voya Small Company Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stock of companies with smaller market capitalizations. The Portfolio is managed by Vincent Costa, CFA, Gareth Shepherd, PhD, CFA, and Russell Shtern, CFA, Portfolio Managers of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 18.00% compared to the Russell 2000® Index, which returned 16.93% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: For the reporting period, the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, driven by both positive stock selection and a positive allocation impact. Stock selection in the financials and real estate sectors drove performance, followed by the overweight and selection in the information technology sector. Conversely, selection in the industrials and energy sectors detracted.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In our view, the side effects of the pandemic shock have mostly subsided, and inflation is the final piece of the puzzle. We view the recovery not as a classic business cycle, but as an economy trying to normalize following a natural disaster. First, came the government- mandated lockdowns and the bust. Then, came the re-openings and the effects of mega-policy stimulus. Lastly, came the 180-degree reversal in monetary policy. Inflation peaked in June 2022 at 9.1%, which means that most of the disinflation we have seen since then has had little to do with Fed policy. We believe that disinflation could continue (and may intensify) over the next 18 months. Corporate earnings are accelerating as the U.S. consumer, in our view, remains healthy and in our opinion, corporate fundamental factors are sound.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UnaUdited)

 

   

As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Portfolio expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The Portfolios’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any charges which are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract, variable life insurance policy, qualified pension, or retirement plan. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Portfolio Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Portfolio and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Voya Global High Dividend Low Volatility Portfolio, Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Growth and Income Portfolio, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio and Voya Small Company Portfolio and the Boards of Directors/Trustees of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Variable Funds and Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Voya Global High Dividend Low Volatility Portfolio, Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Growth and Income Portfolio, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio and Voya Small Company Portfolio (collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) (each a portfolio of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Variable Funds, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio and Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., respectively (collectively referred to as the “Registrants”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios at December 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The financial highlights for the period ended December 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 26, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Registrants’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Registrants in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Registrants are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

 

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Voya investment companies since 2019.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

As further detailed below, the Voya Variable Product Funds are series of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Variable Funds, Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc., Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, and Voya Government Money Market Portfolio (collectively, the “Registrants”), all of which are open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).

 

Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on December 14, 1988 with one diversified series, Voya Balanced Portfolio (“Balanced”). Voya Variable Funds is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one diversified series, Voya Growth and Income Portfolio (“Growth and Income”). Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on June 4, 1996 and has eighteen active separate investment series. The two diversified series of Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. included in this report are Voya Global High Dividend Low Volatility Portfolio (“Global High Dividend Low Volatility”), and Voya Small Company Portfolio (“Small Company”). Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one diversified series, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio (“Intermediate Bond”). Voya Government Money Market Portfolio is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one diversified series, Voya Government Money Market Portfolio (“Government Money Market”). Each of the Voya Variable Product Funds is a “Portfolio” and collectively, they are the “Portfolios.” The investment objective of the Portfolios is described in the respective Portfolio’s Prospectus.

 

The classes of shares included in this report are: Adviser (“Class ADV”), Class I, Class R6, Class S, Service 2 (“Class S2”) and Class T; however, each Portfolio may not offer all share classes. With the exception of class specific matters, each class has equal voting rights as to voting privileges. For class specific proposals, only the applicable class would have voting privileges. The classes differ principally in the applicable distribution and shareholder service fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/ losses from a portfolio pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio or a class are charged directly to that portfolio or class. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately

for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if any, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.

 

Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub- Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios.

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

 

A.  Security Valuation. Each Portfolio is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Portfolio, (except Government Money Market), is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of each Portfolio is calculated by taking the value of the Portfolio’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Portfolio’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when a Portfolio is closed for business, Portfolio shares will not be priced and a Portfolio does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent a Portfolio’s assets are traded in other markets on days when a Portfolio does not price its shares, the value of a Portfolio’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Portfolio.

 

Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open- end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

companies in which each Portfolio may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign securities’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.

 

When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine each Portfolio’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in each Portfolio.

 

The Portfolios’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.

 

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar

financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

 

Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.

 

Government Money Market uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities and seeks to maintain a constant NAV of $1.00 per share, although there may be circumstances under which this goal cannot be achieved. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost and amortizing any discount or premium over the period until maturity, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates or the market value of the security. Although the Board has established procedures designed to stabilize, to the extent reasonably possible, the share price of Government Money Market, there can be no assurance that the Portfolio’s NAV can be maintained at $1.00 per share.

 

Each investment asset or liability of the Portfolios is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Sub-Adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. The Portfolios classify each of their investments in the

 

34

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.

 

GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when a Portfolio has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

 

B.  Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.

 

C.  Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(1)Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.

 

(2)Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Portfolios do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

 

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates

on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on each Portfolio’s book, 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. Certain Portfolios’ investment strategies permit the Portfolios to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, a Portfolio will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow a Portfolio to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.

 

In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Portfolio may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:

 

Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.

 

Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely

 

35

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a Portfolio to achieve its investment objectives.

 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that a Portfolio invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non- U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by a Portfolio through foreign currency exchange transactions.

 

Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.

 

Interest Rate Risk. With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a rising interest rate environment, which may increase a Portfolio’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. For a fund that invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. If dealer capacity in fixed- income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed- income markets. Further, recent and potential changes in government policy may affect interest rates.

 

Risks of Investing in Derivatives. A Portfolio’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market or credit risk factors and the overall market. In instances where a Portfolio is using derivatives

to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market or credit risk factors for securities held by a Portfolio, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

 

Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by a Portfolio. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on a Portfolio and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Portfolio may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investments, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose a Portfolio to the risk of improper valuation.

 

Generally, derivatives are sophisticated financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset or assets. Derivatives include, among other things, swap agreements, options, forwards and futures. Investments in derivatives are generally negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC”) with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Portfolio to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.

 

Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to a Portfolio. Each Portfolio’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. A Portfolio intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that they believe to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk,

 

36

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

a Portfolio has entered into master netting arrangements, established within each Portfolio’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These Master Agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by a Portfolio and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.

 

A Portfolio may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate counterparty credit risk on OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from a Portfolio is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the maximum amount of loss that Balanced and Intermediate Bond would incur if the counterparties to their derivative transactions failed to perform would be $6,894 and $197,219, respectively, which represent the gross payments to be received by the Portfolios on OTC purchased options, forward premium swaptions and open forward foreign currency contracts were they to be unwound as of December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2023, there was no cash collateral received by either Balanced or Intermediate Bond.

 

Each Portfolio has credit-related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivative counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from a Portfolio. Credit-related contingent features are established between each Portfolio and their derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that a Portfolio will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s net assets and/or a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s NAV, which could cause a Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within each Portfolio’s Master Agreements.

 

As of December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had a liability position of $80,458 and $2,343,673, respectively, on forward premium swaptions and OTC

written options. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of December 31, 2023, these Portfolios could have been required to pay these amounts in cash to their counterparties. At December 31, 2023, Intermediate Bond pledged $2,210,000 in cash collateral to certain counterparties for open OTC derivatives. Balanced did not pledge any cash collateral at December 31, 2023.

 

E.  Forward Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. When entering into a forward foreign currency contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed upon future date. A Portfolio either enters into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or uses forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the following Portfolios had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts purchased and sold as disclosed below:

 

  Buy   Sell  
Balanced $ 29,754   $ 51,101  
Global High Dividend Low Volatility   43,214  
Intermediate Bond 858,152   1,478,205  

 

The above Portfolios entered into forward foreign currency contracts to protect any non-U.S. dollar-denominated holdings from adverse currency movements. Please refer to the tables within each respective Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contracts at December 31, 2023.

 

Each Portfolio, with the exception of Government Money Market, may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. A Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts. Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when each Portfolio’s assets are valued.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and, 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 within each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are footnoted in the Portfolio of Investments. Cash collateral held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

 

Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond have purchased and sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes as part of their duration management. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where a Portfolio is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of a Portfolio’s securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the following Portfolios had average notional values on futures contracts purchased and sold as disclosed below:

 

    Purchased   Sold  
Balanced   $ 21,014,821   $ 8,154,871  
Intermediate Bond   153,913,694   161,825,267  

 

Please refer to the tables within each respective Portfolio of Investments for the above Portfolios’ open futures contracts at December 31, 2023.

 

F. Options Contracts. Certain Portfolios may write call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities, commodities or foreign currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Portfolios exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options

tends to decrease the Portfolios exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Forward premium swaptions include premiums that have extended settlement dates. The delayed settlement of the premiums is factored into the daily valuation of the option contracts. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Portfolio as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. There is the risk the Portfolios may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. The Portfolios may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Portfolios’ exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Portfolios exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolios pay a premium which is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had purchased foreign currency options to manage their foreign exchange exposure. Balanced and Intermediate Bond had average notional values of $1,191,000 and $34,853,300, respectively, on purchased foreign currency options. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open purchased foreign currency options at December 31, 2023.

 

There were no open written foreign currency options entered into by any Portfolio at December 31, 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had purchased forward premium swaptions with an average notional value of $2,192,400 and $56,690,800, respectively, to manage its duration and

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

yield curve exposures. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open purchased forward premium swaptions at December 31, 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had written forward premium swaptions with an average notional value of $28,576,720 and $590,936,706, respectively, to generate income. There were no open written forward premium swaptions at December 31, 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had purchased interest swaptions to manage its duration strategy. Balanced and Intermediate Bond had average notional values of $2,007,000 and $57,914,300, respectively, on purchased interest swaptions. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open purchased interest swaptions at December 31, 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had written interest swaptions to generate income. Balanced and Intermediate Bond had average notional values of $20,493,000 and $597,881,380, respectively, on written interest swaptions. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open written interest swaptions at December 31, 2023.

 

G. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. All Portfolios distribute capital gains, if any, annually. Balanced and Small Company declare and pay dividends, if any, annually. Growth and Income declares and pays dividends, if any, semi-annually. Government Money Market and Intermediate Bond declare dividends daily and pay dividends, if any, monthly. Global High Dividend Low Volatility declares and pays dividends, if any, quarterly. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.

 

H. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios’ tax positions

taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.

 

The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.

 

I. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

J. Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Portfolio will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by the Portfolio. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. There would be potential loss to the Portfolio in the event the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.

 

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Portfolios under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Portfolios, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset receivables or payables under the MRA with collateral held and/or pledged by the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the respective Portfolio. Please refer to the table within the Portfolio of Investments for Government Money Market for open repurchase agreements subject to the MRA on a net basis at December 31, 2023

 

K. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio (except Government Money Market) may temporarily loan up to 33⅓% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. Securities lending involves two primary risks: “investment risk” and “borrower

 

39 

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

default risk.” When lending securities, the Portfolios will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolios. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Portfolios to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Portfolios’ other risks.

 

L. Restricted Securities. The Portfolios may invest in restricted securities, which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Restricted securities are fair valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board.

 

Securities that are not registered for sale to the public under the 1933 Act are referred to as “restricted securities.” These securities may be sold in private placement transactions between issuers and their purchasers and may be neither listed on an exchange nor traded in other established markets. Many times these securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. As a result of the absence of a public trading market, the prices of these securities may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to value than publicly traded securities. The price realized from the sale of these securities could be less than the amount originally paid or less than their fair value if they are resold in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, these securities may not be subject to disclosure and other investment protection requirements that are afforded to publicly traded securities. Certain investments may include investment in smaller, less seasoned issuers, which may involve greater risk.

 

M. When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when- issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The fair value of such is identified in the Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the fair value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties

to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Portfolios are required to hold liquid assets as collateral with the Portfolios’ custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.

 

To mitigate counterparty risk, certain Portfolios have entered into Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTA”) with their respective counterparties that provide for collateral and the right to offset amounts due to or from those counterparties under specified conditions. Subject to minimum transfer amounts, collateral requirements are determined and transfers made based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all the when-issued or delayed- delivery transactions with a particular counterparty. Cash collateral, if any, is presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (Cash pledged as collateral for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities) and a liability (Cash received as collateral for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities). At December 31, 2023, Intermediate Bond pledged $567,000 in cash collateral for open when- issued or delayed-delivery transactions.

 

N. Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. Each Portfolio, except Small Company, may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In a dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker/dealer, and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon, and maturity) security from the institution on a delayed delivery basis at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. The Portfolios account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales. For fee based roll transactions, the fee is recorded as income.

 

O. Swap Agreements. Certain Portfolios may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non- asset reference to which the contract relates. Subsequent changes in fair value, if any, are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. A Portfolio may enter into credit default, interest rate, total

 

40 

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

return and currency swaps to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. All outstanding swap agreements are reported within each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.

 

Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from third party pricing services, counterparties or brokers. The value of the swap contract is recorded on each Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by a Portfolio when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are included as a component in the realized gains or losses on each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A Portfolio also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

 

In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Portfolio’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Portfolios are required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Portfolios are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are footnoted as pledged on the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.

 

Entering into swap agreements involves the risk that the maximum potential loss of an investment exceeds the current value of the investment as reported on each Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that

there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.

 

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral agreement between counterparties in which the buyer of the protection agrees to make a stream of periodic payments to the seller of protection in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for a referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swaps, a Portfolio will generally receive from the buyer a fixed payment stream based on the notional amount of the swap contract. This fixed payment stream will continue until the swap contract expires or a defined credit event occurs.

 

A Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. As a seller of protection in a credit default swap, a Portfolio may execute these contracts to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market. Certain Portfolios may also enter into credit default swaps to speculate on changes in an issuer’s credit quality, to take advantage of perceived spread advantages, or to offset an existing short equivalent (i.e. buying protection on an equivalent reference entity).

 

Certain Portfolios may sell credit default swaps which expose these Portfolios to the risk of loss from credit risk related events specified in the contract. Although contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/moratorium. If a Portfolio is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will generally either (i) pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index. If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit

 

41 

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

 

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed in each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/ selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting fair values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing fair values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreements, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond bought credit protection on credit default swap indices (“CDX”). A CDX is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. Balanced and Intermediate Bond used CDX swaps to hedge the credit risk associated with various sectors within the credit market.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had an average notional amount of $2,460,000 and $68,781,034, respectively, on credit default swaps to buy protection. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for Intermediate Bond for open credit default swaps to buy protection at December 31, 2023. Balanced did not have any open credit default swaps to buy protection at December 31, 2023.

There were no credit default swaps to sell protection for any Portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap involves the agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One payment will be based on a floating rate of a specified interest rate while the other will be a fixed rate. Risks involve the future fluctuations of interest rates in which a Portfolio may make payments that are greater than what a Portfolio received from the counterparty. Other risks include credit, liquidity and market risk.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond has entered into interest rate swaps in which they pay a floating interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (“Long interest rate swap”) in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had average notional amounts of $6,268,639 and $181,805,496, respectively, on Long interest rate swaps.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond has entered into interest rate swaps in which they pay a fixed interest rate and receive a floating interest rate (“Short interest rate swap”) in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had average notional amounts of $11,081,668 and $322,970,146, respectively, on Short interest rate swaps.

 

Balanced and Intermediate Bond entered into interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures and to substitute for physical fixed-income securities. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open interest rate swaps at December 31, 2023.

 

At December 31, 2023, Balanced and Intermediate Bond had pledged $300,000 and $6,266,000, respectively, in cash collateral for open centrally cleared swaps.

 

P. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Registrants may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Registrants’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES

 

The Portfolios have entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Portfolios. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment management and portfolio management services for the Portfolios and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Portfolios, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. This Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, at the following annual rates:

 

Portfolio   Fee
Balanced   0.60%
Global High Dividend Low Volatility   0.56% on the first $500 million;
    0.53% on the next $500 million;
    0.51% thereafter
Government Money Market(1)   0.35%
Growth and Income   0.600% on the first $5 billion;
    0.550% on the next $5 billion;

(1)The Investment Adviser is contractually obligated to waive a portion of the management fee equal to 0.045% on the first $5 billion and 0.070% thereafter of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. This waiver is not eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.

 

The Investment Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Voya IM with respect to each Portfolio. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Portfolios and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of each respective Portfolio. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may

determine, Voya IM manages the Portfolios’ assets in accordance with each Portfolio’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations.

 

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

 

Class ADV, Class S, Class S2 and Class T shares of the respective Portfolios are subject to a shareholder service and distribution plan or a distribution plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”). 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 Portfolios’ 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 paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor.

assets attributable to the distribution fee paid by Class T shares of Global High Dividend Low Volatility, so that the actual fee paid by Class T shares of Global High Dividend Low Volatility is an annual rate of 0.35%. This waiver is not eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this waiver requires approval by the Board.

 

Class T shares of Global High Dividend Low Volatility are subject to a shareholder servicing plan (“Service Plan”). The Service Plan allows the Distributor to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with insurance companies, broker dealers or other financial intermediaries that provide administrative services related to Class T and their shareholders including Variable Contract owners or Qualified Plan participants with interests in Global High Dividend Low Volatility. Under the Service Plan, the Portfolio makes payments to the Distributor which shall not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class T shares.

 

The Distributor and the Investment Adviser have contractually agreed to waive a portion of their distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees and management fees, as applicable, and to reimburse certain expenses to the extent necessary to assist Government Money Market in maintaining a yield of not less than zero through May 1, 2024. There is no guarantee that the Portfolio will maintain such a yield. Management fees waived or expenses reimbursed are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser, as applicable, within three years subject to certain restrictions. In no event will the amount of the recoupment on any day exceed 20% of the yield (net of all expense) of the Portfolio on that day. Distribution and shareholder servicing fees waived are not subject to recoupment. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no amounts waived or reimbursed to assist the Portfolio in maintaining a yield of not less than zero. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board. Please note that these waivers or reimbursements are in addition to existing contractual expense limitations, if any. As of December 31, 2023, the amounts of waived or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser and the related expiration dates are as follows:

 

  December 31,    
  2024   2025   2026   Total
Government Money Market   $2,068,744   $499,407   $—   $2,568,151

NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

 

At December 31, 2023, the following direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Voya Financial, Inc. owned more than 5% of the following Portfolios:

 

Subsidiary  Portfolio  Percentage
Voya Institutional Trust Company Government  Government Money Market  9.50%
   Intermediate Bond  10.81
   Small Company  5.30
Voya Retirement Insurance and      
Annuity Company  Balanced  86.90
   Government Money Market  87.84
   Growth and Income  87.60
   Intermediate Bond  25.30
   Small Company  68.99

 

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

 

The Portfolios have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent directors/ trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the directors’/trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Portfolios. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the director/trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the director/trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the directors’/trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors’/ trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Portfolios, and will not materially affect the Portfolios’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.

 

The Portfolios may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the

Pursuant to a side letter agreement through May 1, 2024, the Investment Adviser has further lowered the expense limits to the levels listed below. Any fees waived pursuant to the side letter agreement shall not be eligible for recoupment.

Unless otherwise specified above and with the exception of the non-recoupable management fee waivers for certain Portfolios, the Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from a Portfolio for fees waived and/or other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Portfolio’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING

 

Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, each Portfolio (except Government Money Market) can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at Market Close of the Portfolios at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Portfolios on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Portfolios bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Portfolios indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral to the extent the cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements.

Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in cash equivalents, money market funds, repurchase agreements with maturities of not more than 99 days that are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, or certain short-term investments that have a remaining maturity of 190 days or less (“Permitted Investments”). Short-term investments include: securities, units, shares or other participations in short-term investment funds, pools or trusts; commercial paper, notes, bonds or other debt obligations, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other bank obligations and asset-backed commercial paper backed by diversified receivables and repurchase- backed programs. Permitted Investments are subject to certain guidelines established by the Adviser regarding liquidity, diversification, credit quality and average credit life/duration requirements. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Short-Term Investments.

 

Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolios have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the

event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Portfolios in the event the Portfolios are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a portfolio.

 

The following tables represent a summary of each respective Portfolio’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under the Agreement as of December 31, 2023:

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 short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, futures contracts, income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), paydowns, straddle loss deferrals, swaps and wash sale deferrals.

 

Dividends paid by the Portfolios from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

 

The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:

The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal, Arizona state, and Massachusetts state.

 

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

 

NOTE 13 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (”LIBOR“)

 

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer- term impacts are still uncertain.

 

In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial

contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.

 

NOTE 14 — MARKET DISRUPTION

 

A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long- term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

NOTE 14 — MARKET DISRUPTION (continued)

 

economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including beyond those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of a Portfolio’s service providers.

 

NOTE 15 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial statements.

The Portfolios have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”), to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Other than the above, no such subsequent events were identified.

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

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

(1) If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will either i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(2) Payments made quarterly.
(3) The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make or receive as a buyer of credit protection under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
(4) The fair values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Increasing fair values, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring.

A majority vote of the Board’s other Independent Directors/Trustees may extend the retirement date of an Independent Director/Trustee if the retirement would trigger a requirement to hold a meeting of shareholders of the Company/Trust under applicable law, whether for the purposes of appointing a successor to the Independent Director/Trustee or otherwise comply under applicable law, in which case the extension would apply until such time as the shareholder meeting can be held or is no longer required (as determined by a vote of a majority of the other Independent Directors/Trustees).

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)

 

 

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS AND SUB- ADVISORY CONTRACTS

 

At a meeting held on November 16, 2023, the Board of Directors/Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Inc., Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Variable Funds, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, Voya Variable Funds, and Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (collectively, the “Registrants”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Balanced Portfolio, Voya Global High Dividend Low Volatility Portfolio, Voya Government Money Market Portfolio, Voya Growth and Income Portfolio, Voya Intermediate Bond Portfolio, and Voya Small Company Portfolio, each a series of the Registrants (the “Portfolios”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Directors/Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Registrants, on behalf of the Portfolios, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the sub-adviser to each Portfolio (the “Sub-Adviser”), for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2024.

 

In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Directors/Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.

 

The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Directors/Trustees as

members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.

 

The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Directors/Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Directors/ Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Directors/Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Portfolio’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Directors/Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.

 

The Manager or Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.

 

Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Portfolios, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Portfolios as set forth

 

 

 

154 

 

 

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

 

 

in the Management Contracts, including oversight of the Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.

 

The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions with respect to the Portfolios under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.

 

Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Registrants’ Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis.

 

The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios and the level of resources committed to the Portfolios (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high- quality services to the Portfolios.

 

Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.

 

Portfolio Performance

 

In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory

relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of each Portfolio, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Portfolio’s Morningstar, Inc. (an independent provider of mutual fund data) category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a separate analysis of each Portfolio’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Registrants’ Chief Investment Risk Officer.

 

Economies of Scale

 

When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and Sub-Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Portfolio. In this regard, the Board noted any breakpoints in the management fee schedules that will result in a lower management fee rate when a Portfolio achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. The Board also considered that, while some of the Portfolios do not have management fee breakpoints, the Portfolios may have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager or Sub-Adviser could be shared with each Portfolio through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager.

 

Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients

 

The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from a Portfolio, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.

 

Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits

 

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by each Portfolio to the Manager compared to the Portfolio’s Selected Peer Group. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager

 

 

 

155 

 

 

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

 

 

to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Portfolio, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered any fee waivers, expense limitations, and/or recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Portfolios, including whether the Manager proposed any changes thereto. For each Portfolio, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.

 

For each Portfolio, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub- Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each Portfolio both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Portfolios and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager.

 

Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub- Adviser, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Portfolios’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Portfolio in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.

 

The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya- affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Portfolios. The Board also considered information regarding the

potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Portfolios. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Portfolios and the Manager’s and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.

 

Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis

 

Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings certain additional data regarding each Portfolio’s more recent performance, asset levels and asset flows. Each Portfolio’s management fee rate and expense ratio were compared to the management fee rates and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 26.07% compared to the S&P 500® Index, which returned 26.29% for the same period.

On the sector level, stock selection within the industrials, consumer staples and energy sectors contributed the most value. Among the key contributors for the period were overweight positions in NVIDIA Corp. and Adobe Inc. and our underweight position in NextEra Energy, Inc. Conversely, stock selection in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors detracted the most. Key individual detractors for the period included our underweight positions in Meta Platforms Inc. and Broadcom Inc. and our overweight position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: This is an actively managed strategy that incorporates research from both our fundamental equity team and our proprietary quantitative models, what we refer to as “quantamental.” Our proprietary quantitative model seeks to emphasize high quality, profitable companies that are relatively undervalued, have growth potential and are favored by investors. The Portfolio also leverages Voya’s fundamental equity research to create higher conviction “alpha,” that is uncorrelated to our quantitative models. We believe this approach of combining existing fundamental alpha sources with in-house quantitative models results in diversified excess returns.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Portfolio expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The Portfolios’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any charges which are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract, variable life insurance policy, qualified pension or retirement plan. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Portfolio Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Portfolio and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders of Voya Index Plus LargeCap Portfolio, Voya Index Plus MidCap Portfolio and Voya Index Plus SmallCap Portfolio and the Board of Directors of Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Index Plus LargeCap Portfolio, Voya Index Plus MidCap Portfolio and Voya Index Plus SmallCap Portfolio (collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) (three of the portfolios constituting Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios (three of the portfolios constituting Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc.) at December 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The financial highlights for the period ended December 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 13, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Voya investment companies since 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023

 

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act” or “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on June 4, 1996. There are eighteen active separate investment series that comprise the Company. The three series (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”) included in this report are: Voya Index Plus LargeCap Portfolio (“Index Plus LargeCap”), Voya Index Plus MidCap Portfolio (“Index Plus MidCap”), and Voya Index Plus SmallCap Portfolio (“Index Plus SmallCap”), each a diversified series of the Company. The investment objective of the Portfolios is described in the respective Portfolio’s Prospectus.

 

The classes of shares included in this report are: Adviser (“Class ADV”), Class I and Class S. With the exception of class specific matters, each class has equal voting rights as to voting privileges. For class specific proposals, only the applicable class would have voting privileges. The classes differ principally in the applicable distribution and shareholder service fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/losses from a portfolio pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio or a class are charged directly to that portfolio or class. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if any, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.

 

Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios.

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

 

A. Security Valuation. Each Portfolio is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Portfolio is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of each Portfolio is calculated by taking the value of each Portfolio’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting each Portfolio’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when a Portfolio is closed for business, Portfolio shares will not be priced and a Portfolio does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent a Portfolio’s assets are traded in other markets on days when a Portfolio does not price its shares, the value of a Portfolio’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Portfolio.

 

Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which each Portfolio may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign securities’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.

 

When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of

 

 

17 

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine each Portfolio’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in each Portfolio.

 

The Portfolios’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.

 

Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

 

Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input

 

 

levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.

 

A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.

 

Each investment asset or liability of the Portfolios is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Sub-Adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.

 

GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when a Portfolio has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

 

B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.

 

C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(1)Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.

 

(2)Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Portfolios do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

 

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on each Portfolio’s book, 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 Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually by the Portfolios. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.

 

E.  Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code 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 Portfolios’ tax positions

 

 

taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.

 

The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.

 

F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

G. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. Each Portfolio’s investment strategies permit it to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts. In doing so, a Portfolio will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow a Portfolio to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.

 

In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Portfolio may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:

 

Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a Portfolio to achieve its investment objectives.

 

Risks of Investing in Derivatives. Each Portfolio’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market or credit risk factors and the overall market. In instances where a Portfolio is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market or credit risk factors for securities held by a Portfolio, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

 

 

19 

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by a Portfolio. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on a Portfolio and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Portfolio may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investments, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose a Portfolio to the risk of improper valuation.

 

Generally, derivatives are sophisticated financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset or assets. Derivatives include, among other things, swap agreements, options, forwards and futures. Investments in derivatives are generally negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC”), with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Portfolio to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.

 

H. Futures Contracts. Each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Each Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts. Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Portfolio’s assets are valued.

 

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, each Portfolio is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Open futures contracts are reported on a table following each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, are footnoted in the Portfolio of Investments. Cash collateral held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

 

Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the year ended December 31, 2023, each Portfolio had 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 Portfolio’s respective cash flows and residual cash balances in order to decrease potential tracking error if the cash remained uninvested in the market. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Portfolios are unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Portfolios’ securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Index Plus LargeCap, Index Plus MidCap, and Index Plus SmallCap had average notional values on futures contracts purchased of $5,615,485, $5,428,570, and $4,195,443, respectively. Please refer to the tables within each respective Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts at December 31, 2023.

 

I. Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest

 

 

20 

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Portfolio will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreement, plus accrued interest, being invested by a Portfolio. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. If the seller defaults, a Portfolio might incur a loss or delay in the realization of proceeds if the value of the security collateralizing the repurchase agreement declines, and may incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.

 

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Portfolios under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Portfolios, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset receivables or payables under the MRA with collateral held and/or pledged by the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the respective Portfolio. There were no open repurchase agreements for any Portfolio at December 31, 2023.

 

J.  Securities Lending. Each Portfolio may temporarily loan up to 331∕3% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. Securities lending involves two primary risks: “investment risk” and “borrower default risk.” When lending securities, the Portfolios will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolios. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Portfolios to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Portfolios’ other risks.

 

K. Restricted Securities. Each Portfolio 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.

 

L. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

 

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sale of securities, excluding short-term securities, were as follows:

 

   Purchases   Sales 
Index Plus LargeCap  $442,889,736‌   $514,619,270‌ 
Index Plus MidCap   266,678,174‌    298,945,651‌ 
Index Plus SmallCap   123,218,566‌    143,634,396‌ 

 

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES

 

The Portfolios have entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has overall responsibility for the management of the Portfolios. The Investment Adviser oversees all investment management and portfolio management services for the Portfolios and assists in managing and supervising all aspects of the general day-to-day business activities and operations of the Portfolios, including custodial, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, accounting, auditing, compliance and related services. This Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee, computed

The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM with respect to each Portfolio. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Portfolios and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of each respective Portfolio. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages the Portfolios’ assets in accordance with the Portfolios’ investment objectives, policies, and limitations.

 

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

 

Class ADV shares of the respective Portfolios are subject to a shareholder service and distribution plan and Class S shares of the respective Portfolios are subject to a shareholder services and distribution plan (collectively the “Plans), whereby the Distributor is compensated by each Portfolio for expenses incurred for shareholder servicing and/or the distribution of each respective Portfolio’s Class ADV and Class S shares. 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 respective Portfolio’s Class ADV and Class 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 paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor.

 

Under the Plan for Class ADV shares of Index Plus LargeCap, the Distributor is paid an annual shareholder service fee at the rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class ADV shares and an annual distribution fee at the rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class ADV shares. Under the Plan for Class S shares, Class S shares of the Portfolios pay the Distributor a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to each Portfolio’s Class S shares.

 

 

NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

 

At December 31, 2023, the following direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Voya Financial, Inc. owned more than 5% of the following Portfolios:

 

Subsidiary   Portfolio   Percentage
Voya Retirement Insurance and   Index Plus    
    LargeCap   73.46%
Annuity Company   Index Plus MidCap   83.04
    Index Plus    
    SamllCap   75.56

 

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

 

The Portfolios have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent directors, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the directors’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Portfolios. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the director under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the director (the “Notional Funds”). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the directors’ deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Portfolios, and will not materially affect the Portfolios’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.

 

The Portfolios may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by each Portfolio were as follows:

 

Portfolio  Amount 
Index Plus LargeCap  $537,461 
Index Plus MidCap   611,506 
Index Plus SmallCap   321,594

NOTE 7 — LICENSING FEE

 

The Portfolios pay an annual licensing fee to S&P Opco, LLC. in order to obtain data and permissions necessary to achieve their respective principal investment strategies.

 

NOTE 8 — EXPENSE LIMITATION AGREEMENTS

 

The Investment Adviser has entered into a written expense limitation agreement (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) with each Portfolio whereby the Investment Adviser has agreed to limit expenses, excluding interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses to the levels listed below:

 

    Class   Class   Class
Portfolio   ADV   I   S
Index Plus LargeCap   1.05%   0.55%   0.80%
Index Plus MidCap   N/A   0.60%   0.85%
Index Plus SmallCap   N/A   0.60%   0.85%

 

The Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from a Portfolio for fees waived and/or other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, a Portfolio’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees net of any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Adviser are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the amounts of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser and the related expiration dates, are as follows:

 

    December 31,

NOTE 9 — LINE OF CREDIT

 

Effective June 12, 2023, the Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 10, 2024. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Portfolio or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to June 12, 2023, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 12, 2023.

 

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance.

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING

 

Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Portfolios can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral must be equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at Market Close of the Portfolios at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Portfolios on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Portfolios bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Portfolios indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral to the extent the cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements.

 

Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in cash equivalents, money market funds, repurchase agreements with maturities of not more than 99 days that are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, or certain short-term investments that have

 

 

a remaining maturity of 190 days or less (“Permitted Investments”). Short-term investments include: securities, units, shares or other participations in short-term investment funds, pools or trusts; commercial paper, notes, bonds or other debt obligations, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other bank obligations and asset-backed commercial paper backed by diversified receivables and repurchase-backed programs. Permitted Investments are subject to certain guidelines established by the Adviser regarding liquidity, diversification, credit quality and average credit life/duration requirements. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Short-Term Investments.

 

Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolios have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Portfolios in the event the Portfolios are delayed or prevented from exercising 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 the Portfolios.

 

The following tables represent a summary of each respective Portfolio’s securities lending agreements by counterparty

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.

 

Dividends paid by the Portfolios from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

 

The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:

 

    Year Ended    Year Ended 
    December 31, 2023    December 31, 2022 
   Ordinary   Long-term   Ordinary   Long-term 
   Income   Capital Gains   Income   Capital Gains 
Index Plus LargeCap  $6,956,198   $16,730,822   $49,460,015   $150,778,439‌

At December 31, 2023, the Portfolios did not have any capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.

 

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

 

 

NOTE 13 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)

 

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer- term impacts are still uncertain.

 

In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may

 

be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.

 

NOTE 14 — MARKET DISRUPTION

 

A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including beyond those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions.

NOTE 14 — MARKET DISRUPTION (continued)

 

The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic,

 

social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of a Portfolio’s service providers.

 

NOTE 15 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Portfolios have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. No such subsequent events were identified.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS

 

At a meeting held on November 16, 2023, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Index Plus LargeCap Portfolio, Voya Index Plus MidCap Portfolio, and Voya Index Plus SmallCap Portfolio, each a series of the Company (the “Portfolios”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Directors”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Company, on behalf of the Portfolios, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the sub-adviser to each Portfolio (the “Sub-Adviser”), for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2024.

 

In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Directors also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.

 

The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Directors as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight

 

regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.

 

The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Directors request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Directors deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Directors retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Portfolio’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Directors periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.

 

The Manager or Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.

 

Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Portfolios, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Portfolios as set forth in the Management Contracts, including oversight of the Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.

 

The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day

 

 

 

57

 

 

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

 

 

 

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 Portfolios under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.

 

Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis.

 

The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios and the level of resources committed to the Portfolios (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Portfolios.

 

Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.

 

Portfolio Performance

 

In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of each Portfolio, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Portfolio’s Morningstar, Inc. (an independent provider of mutual fund data) category and primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a

 

separate analysis of each Portfolio’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Company’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.

 

Economies of Scale

 

When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Portfolio. The Board considered that, while the Portfolios do not have management fee breakpoints, they have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager could be shared with each Portfolio through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions.

 

Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients

 

The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from a Portfolio, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.

 

Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits

 

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by each Portfolio to the Manager compared to the Portfolio’s Selected Peer Group. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Portfolio, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered any fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Portfolios, including whether the Manager proposed any changes thereto. For each Portfolio, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

 

 

 

For each Portfolio, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each Portfolio both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Portfolios and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager.

 

Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Portfolios’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Portfolio in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.

 

The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Portfolios. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Portfolios. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Portfolios and the Manager and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.

 

Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis

 

Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in

 

addition to those considerations discussed above. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings certain additional data regarding each Portfolio’s more recent performance, asset levels and asset flows.

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

 

during certain periods.

Board Conclusions

 

After its deliberation, the Board concluded that, in its business judgment, the terms of the Contracts are fair and reasonable to each Portfolio and that approval of the continuation of the Contracts is in the best interests of each Portfolio and its shareholders. In doing so, the Board reviewed all factors it considered to be material, including those discussed above. Within the context of its overall conclusions regarding the Contracts, and based on the information provided and management’s related representations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with management’s responses relating to each Portfolio’s investment performance and the fees payable under the Contracts. During this renewal process, each Board member may have accorded different weight to various factors in reaching his or her conclusions. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Contracts for each Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2024.

Portfolio Specifics**: The Portfolio employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI EM IndexSM. The Portfolio attempts to track the MSCI EM IndexSM by investing in most of the stocks that make up the MSCI EM IndexSM. The stocks are chosen using statistical techniques so as to minimize the anticipated tracking error to the MSCI EM IndexSM. This approach is employed because of the relatively large number of small and/or illiquid stocks in the MSCI EM IndexSM. The Portfolio may not always hold all of the same securities as the MSCI EM IndexSM.

 

While all regions generated positive returns for the reporting period, absolute performance was strongest in Latin America and Europe and weakest in Africa/Mideast.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio invests principally in equity securities and employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI EM IndexSM.

 

 

 

 

 

*The Portfolio’s net return may at times appear to diverge from the return of its benchmark index more than would be expected. These divergences may, in part, be the result of fair-value pricing adjustments to certain foreign securities as well as other pricing policies. In accordance with the Portfolio's Valuation Policy, fair-value pricing adjustments may be used to address pricing discrepancies that arise due to time-zone differences. Foreign securities may trade on exchanges that close many hours before the Portfolio’s closing share price is calculated in the United States, generally at 4 p.m., Eastern Time. In the hours between the foreign close and the U.S. close, the value of these foreign securities may change— because of company specific announcements or marketwide developments. Such price changes are not immediately reflected in international index values. Fair-value pricing takes such changes into account in calculating the Portfolio’s daily net asset value (“NAV”), so that the NAV doesn’t include “stale” prices. The result can be a temporary divergence between the return of the Portfolio and that of its benchmark index. The Portfolio also translates local prices to U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates at the time the NAV is calculated whereas the index does not.

 

**Please note that this discussion refers to the Portfolio’s gross performance versus the benchmark. The benchmark does not incur expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in the benchmark.

 

The views expressed in this commentary are informed opinions. They should not be considered promises or advice. The views expressed reflect those of the portfolio managers, only through the end of the period as stated on the cover.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other Voya mutual funds. This report contains statements that may be “forward-looking” statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the “forward-looking” statements. The Portfolio’s performance returns shown reflect applicable fee waivers and/or expense limits in effect during this period. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class. An index has no cash in its portfolio and imposes no sales charges.

Portfolio Specifics**: The Portfolio employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the Russell 2000® Index. The Portfolio attempts to track the Russell 2000® Index by principally investing in most of the stocks that make up the Russell 2000® Index. The stocks are chosen using statistical techniques so as to minimize the anticipated tracking error to the Russell 2000® Index. This approach is employed because of the relatively large number of small and/or illiquid stocks in the Russell 2000® Index. The Portfolio may not always hold all of the same securities as the Russell 2000® Index.

 

For the reporting period, absolute performance was strongest within industrials, consumer discretionary, and information technology sectors. By contrast, utilities was the bottom absolute performing sector posting negative returns for the reporting period.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the Russell 2000® Index.

Portfolio Specifics**: 2023 was a year of uncertainty, from the banking crisis early in the year to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s unexpected pivot on interest rates in December. The U.S. economy remained surprisingly resilient, driven by low unemployment, rising wages, robust consumer spending and increased investment in manufacturing.

 

Volatility persisted in the U.S. bond market but ended the year on a strong note. The yield on the U.S. Treasury 10-year note remained in a tight range for the first seven months of the year before spiking in August following news of a red-hot jobs market and then ultimately falling in December to near where it began the year as inflation and employment both moderated. Credit-sensitive bond sectors, such as high yield and bank loans, provided investors with equity-like returns for the year. Emerging market debt staged a comeback from a difficult 2022 thanks to waning inflation and a weakening U.S. dollar

 

The Portfolio is designed to replicate the risk and return drivers of the index. Security selection — particularly in U.S. Treasuries and investment grade credit — hurt and was somewhat offset by asset allocation to those same assets. Duration and curve position throughout the investment period positively impacted relative returns over the period.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Looking forward, the outlook has improved marginally, though we still expect growth to slow below trend. The increased cost of capital will likely curb consumption and investment, however ongoing government support measures at a global level are expected to partially offset these effects. In particular, China's growth focused investment and advanced economies efforts to enhance supply chain security are anticipated to bolster growth in the short term. 

 

As the market focus shifts from inflation to growth concerns, duration will become an effective offset to risky asset drawdowns. Rate volatility, though receding from recent peaks, in our opinion, will remain above pre-pandemic levels due to uncertainty about the timing of rate cuts and concerns about government debt levels. Elevated real rates could incent investors to increase allocations to fixed income, creating opportunities during bouts of volatility.

 

That said, many corners of the market, in our view, appear to be priced for a soft landing. While this has become a more likely outcome, we believe the risks to this outcome materializing are being ignored. Labor markets are coming into better balance which, while good news for inflation, could cause concern among workers that a turn in the cycle is approaching. This in turn could compel workers to boost savings rates which would limit consumption and act as a headwind to growth.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Portfolio expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The Portfolios’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any charges which are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract, variable life insurance policy, qualified pension, or retirement plan. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.

 

 

Actual Expenses

 

The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Portfolio Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Portfolio and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders of Voya Emerging Markets Index Portfolio, Voya International Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Large Cap Growth Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Large Cap Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Large Cap Value Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Mid Cap Growth Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Mid Cap Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Small Cap Index Portfolio and Voya U.S. Bond Index Portfolio and the Board of Directors of Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Voya Emerging Markets Index Portfolio, Voya International Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Large Cap Growth Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Large Cap Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Large Cap Value Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Mid Cap Growth Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Mid Cap Index Portfolio, Voya RussellTM Small Cap Index Portfolio and Voya U.S. Bond Index Portfolio (collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) (nine of the portfolios constituting Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios (nine of the portfolios constituting Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc.) at December 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The financial highlights for the period ended December 31, 2019, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 26, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Voya investment companies since 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023

 

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act” or “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on June 4, 1996. There are eighteen active separate investment series that comprise the Company. The nine series (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) that are in this report are: Voya Emerging Markets Index Portfolio (“Emerging Markets Index”), Voya International Index Portfolio (“International Index”), Voya Russell™ Large Cap Growth Index Portfolio (“Russell™ Large Cap Growth Index”), Voya Russell™ Large Cap Index Portfolio (“Russell™ Large Cap Index”), Voya Russell™ Large Cap Value Index Portfolio (“Russell™ Large Cap Value Index”), Voya Russell™ Mid Cap Growth Index Portfolio (“Russell™ Mid Cap Growth Index”), Voya Russell™ Mid Cap Index Portfolio (“Russell™ Mid Cap Index”), Voya Russell™ Small Cap Index Portfolio (“Russell™ Small Cap Index”), and Voya U.S. Bond Index Portfolio (“U.S. Bond Index”). All of the Portfolios are diversified. However, in seeking to track the performance of an index, a Portfolio may become non-diversified as a result of a change in relative market capitalizations or index weightings of one or more components of an index. As a result, whether at any time a Portfolio will be considered diversified or non-diversified will depend largely on the make-up of an index at the time. The investment objective of the Portfolios is described in the respective Portfolio’s Prospectus.

 

Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 created circumstances that significantly impacted Emerging Markets Index’s operations. The combination of market closures, Western sanctions, retaliatory Russian sanctions, and capital controls as a result of Russia’s invasion have rendered Emerging Markets Index’s investments in Russian securities, including depository receipts, illiquid. In addition, U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges have halted trading in certain ADRs and GDRs of Russian companies. Consequently, the Russian equity market has become largely restricted and it is uncertain when these restrictions on trading Russian securities will be relieved. As a result, Russian securities held by Emerging Markets Index were fair valued at $0. (see Note 2.A for additional information on security valuation procedures) Subsequent to February 24, 2022, certain Russian securities held by Emerging Markets Index had declared dividends, however there is no assurance these dividends can be collected by Emerging Markets Index. As a result, all such dividend receivables related to these Russian securities are valued at $0 as of December 31, 2023. Any currency denominated in Rubles cannot be repatriated and such currency is valued at $0 as of December 31, 2023.

The classes of shares included in this report are: Adviser (“Class ADV”), Class I, Class S, and Service 2 (“Class S2”); however, each Portfolio may not offer all share classes. With the exception of class specific matters, each class has equal voting rights as to voting privileges. For class specific proposals, only the applicable class would have voting privileges. The classes differ principally in the applicable distribution and shareholder service fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/ losses from a portfolio pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio or a class are charged directly to that portfolio or class. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if any, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.

 

Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios.

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

 

A. Security Valuation. Each Portfolio is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Portfolio is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”),

 

42

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of each Portfolio is calculated by taking the value of each Portfolio’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting each Portfolio’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when a Portfolio is closed for business, Portfolio shares will not be priced and a Portfolio does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent a Portfolio’s assets are traded in other markets on days when a Portfolio does not price its shares, the value of a Portfolio’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Portfolio.

 

Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which each Portfolio may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign securities’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.

 

When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine each Portfolio’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or

accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in each Portfolio.

 

The Portfolios’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.

 

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

 

Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.

 

A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.

 

Each investment asset or liability of the Portfolios is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Sub-Adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. The Portfolios classify each of their investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.

 

GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when a Portfolio has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

 

B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.

 

C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(1)Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.

 

(2)Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Portfolios do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current

market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

 

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on a Portfolio’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments, which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.

 

D. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. All Portfolios (except U.S. Bond Index) declare and pay dividends annually. U.S. Bond Index declares dividends daily and pays dividends, if any, monthly. The Portfolios distribute capital gains distributions, if any, annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.

 

E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.

 

The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

G. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. Each Portfolio’s investment strategies permit it 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 Portfolio will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow the Portfolio to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.

 

In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Portfolio may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:

 

Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.

 

Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a Portfolio to achieve its investment objectives.

 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that a Portfolio invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign

(non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by a Portfolio through foreign currency exchange transactions.

 

Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.

 

Interest Rate Risk. With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a rising interest rate environment, which may increase a Portfolio’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. For a fund that invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential changes in government policy may affect interest rates.

 

Risks of Investing in Derivatives. Each Portfolio’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market or credit risk factors and the overall market. In instances where a Portfolio is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market or credit risk factors for securities held by a Portfolio, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

 

Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by a Portfolio. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on a Portfolio and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Portfolio may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investments, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose a Portfolio to the risk of improper valuation.

 

Generally, derivatives are sophisticated financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset or assets. Derivatives include, among other things, swap agreements, options, forwards and futures. Investments in derivatives are generally negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC”) with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Portfolio to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.

 

Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to a Portfolio. Each Portfolio’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. A Portfolio intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that they believe to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, a Portfolio has entered into master netting arrangements, established within each Portfolio’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These Master Agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by a Portfolio and the counterparty.

The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.

 

A Portfolio may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate counterparty credit risk on OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from a Portfolio is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.

 

Each Portfolio has credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivative counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from a Portfolio. Credit related contingent features are established between each Portfolio and their derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that a Portfolio will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s net assets and/or a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s NAV, which could cause a Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within each Portfolio’s Master Agreements.

 

As of December 31, 2023, there were no open OTC derivatives.

 

H. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on their non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward foreign currency contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and a Portfolio’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. These instruments involve market and/ or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms

 

46

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates. Open forward foreign currency contracts are presented following the respective Portfolio of Investments.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, certain Portfolios have entered into forward foreign currency contracts with the obligation to buy and sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to increase or decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. The Portfolios use forward foreign currency contracts to enhance potential gain, hedge against anticipated currency exchange rates, gain exposure to foreign currencies and to maintain diversity and liquidity of the portfolio.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Emerging Markets Index had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts to sell of $79,124. There were no open forward foreign currency contracts as of December 31, 2023.

 

I. Futures Contracts. Each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Each Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts. Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Portfolios’ assets are valued.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, each Portfolio is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Open futures contracts are reported on a table following each Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are footnoted in the Portfolio of Investments. Cash collateral held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in each Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the year ended December 31, 2023, with the exception of U.S. Bond Index, the below Portfolios had 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 Portfolio’s respective cash flows and residual cash balances in order to decrease potential tracking error if the cash remained uninvested in the market. U.S. Bond Index purchased and sold futures contracts as part of its duration strategy. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Portfolios are unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Portfolios’ securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolios had average notional values on futures contracts purchased and sold as disclosed below.

 

    Purchased     Sold
Emerging Markets Index $ 9,150,149   ‌$ —‌

Please refer to the tables within each respective Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts as of December 31, 2023.

 

J. Swap Agreements. The Portfolios may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”).

 

The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. Subsequent changes in market value, if any, are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional

 

47

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

value of the contract. The Portfolios may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and currency swaps to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. All outstanding swap agreements are reported within the Portfolio of Investments.

 

Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from third party pricing services, counterparties or brokers. The value of the swap contract is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by a Portfolio when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are included as a component in the realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A Portfolio also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations.

 

In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and a Portfolio’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. A Portfolio is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a Portfolio is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are footnoted as pledged on the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged for centrally cleared swaps. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.

 

Entering into swap agreements involves the risk that the maximum potential loss of an investment exceeds the current value of the investment as reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable

changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.

 

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral agreement between counterparties in which the buyer of the protection agrees to make a stream of periodic payments to the seller of protection in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for a referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swaps, a Portfolio will generally receive from the buyer a fixed payment stream based on the notional amount of the swap contract. This fixed payment stream will continue until the swap contract expires or a defined credit event occurs.

 

A Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. As a seller of protection in a credit default swap, a Portfolio may execute these contracts to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market. Certain Portfolios may also enter into credit default swaps to speculate on changes in an issuer’s credit quality, to take advantage of perceived spread advantages, or to offset an existing short equivalent (i.e. buying protection on an equivalent reference entity).

 

Certain Portfolios may sell credit default swaps which expose these Portfolios to the risk of loss from credit risk related events specified in the contract. Although contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/ moratorium. If a Portfolio is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will generally either (i) pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index. If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a

 

48

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

 

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed following the Portfolio of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/ selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting fair values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing fair values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreements, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, U.S. Bond Index had bought credit protection on credit default swap indices (“CDX”). A CDX is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. U.S. Bond Index used CDX swaps to hedge the credit risk associated with various sectors within the credit market.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, U.S. Bond Index had bought credit protection with an average notional amount of $45,000,000 on credit default swaps. Please refer to the tables within the Portfolio of Investments for open credit default swaps to buy protection at December 31, 2023.

 

At December 31, 2023, U.S. Bond Index had pledged $600,000 in cash collateral for open centrally cleared credit default swaps.

K. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio may temporarily loan up to 331∕3% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. Securities lending involves two primary risks: “investment risk” and “borrower default risk.” When lending securities, the Portfolios will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolios. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Portfolios to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Portfolios’ other risks.

 

L. Restricted Securities. The Portfolios may invest in restricted securities, which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Restricted securities are fair valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board.

 

Securities that are not registered for sale to the public under the 1933 Act are referred to as “restricted securities.” These securities may be sold in private placement transactions between issuers and their purchasers and may be neither listed on an exchange nor traded in other established markets. Many times these securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. As a result of the absence of a public trading market, the prices of these securities may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to value than publicly traded securities. The price realized from the sale of these securities could be less than the amount originally paid or less than their fair value if they are resold in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, these securities may not be subject to disclosure and other investment protection requirements that are afforded to publicly traded securities. Certain investments may include investment in smaller, less seasoned issuers, which may involve greater risk.

 

M. Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Transactions. Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The fair value of such securities is identified in each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments. Losses may

 

49

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

arise due to changes in the fair value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Portfolios are required to identify liquid assets sufficient to cover the purchase price.

 

To mitigate counterparty risk, certain Portfolios have entered into Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTA”) with their respective counterparties that provide for collateral and the right to offset amounts due to or from those counterparties under specified conditions. Subject to minimum transfer amounts, collateral requirements are determined and transfers made based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all the when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions with a particular counterparty. Cash collateral, if any, is presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (Cash pledged as collateral for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities) and a liability (Cash received as collateral for delayed-delivery or when-issued securities).

 

At December 31, 2023, there was no collateral pledged or received for open delayed-delivery or when-issued transactions.

 

N. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers the risk of loss from such claims remote.

Under the Plans, the Distributor is paid an annual shareholder service fee at the rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Class ADV and Class S2 shares. The Distributor is paid an annual distribution fee at the rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Class ADV shares and the Distributor is paid an annual distribution fee at the rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Class S2 shares. The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive 0.01% of the distribution fee for Class ADV shares of International Index. This waiver is not eligible for recoupment. Termination or modification of this waiver requires approval by the Board.

 

Class S shares of the Portfolios have a shareholder services and distribution plan (the “Plan”), whereby the Distributor is compensated by each Portfolio for expenses incurred for shareholder servicing and/or distribution of each Portfolio’s Class S shares. Pursuant to the Plan, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month to compensate for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Portfolio’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 paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the Plan, Class S shares of the Portfolios pay the Distributor a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets.

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

 

The Portfolios have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent directors, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the directors’ fees that they are entitled

NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES (continued)

 

to receive from the Portfolios. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the director under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the director (the “Notional Funds”). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the directors’ deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Portfolios, and will not materially affect the Portfolios’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.

 

The Portfolios may pay per account fees to affiliates of Voya Investments for recordkeeping services provided on certain assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the per account fees for affiliated recordkeeping services paid by each Portfolio were as follows:

 

Portfolio   Amount
Emerging Markets Index $335
International Index 365,635
Russell™ Large Cap Growth Index 525,189

U.S. Bond Index 91,158

 

The Portfolios may engage in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common sub-adviser and/or common offices or trustees. For the year ended December 31, 2023, International Index, Russell™ Mid Cap Index, Russell™ Small Cap Index, and U.S. Bond Index engaged in such transactions amounting to $970,848,267, $324,959,617, $323,491,160, and $1,017,546,900 of in-kind sales, resulting in a net realized gain/(loss) of $167,789,057, $122,093,502, $27,291,872, and $(47,492,187), respectively.

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING

 

Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Portfolios can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral must be equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned.

The market value of the loaned securities is determined at Market Close of the Portfolios at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Portfolios on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Portfolios bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

 

with the following exception: BNY provides the Portfolios indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral to the extent the cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements.

 

Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in cash equivalents, money market funds, repurchase agreements with maturities of not more than 99 days that are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, or certain short-term investments that have a remaining maturity of 190 days or less (“Permitted Investments”). Short-term investments include: securities, units, shares or other participations in short-term investment funds, pools or trusts; commercial paper, notes, bonds or other debt obligations, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other bank obligations and asset-backed commercial paper backed by diversified receivables and repurchase-backed programs. Permitted Investments are subject to certain guidelines established by the Adviser regarding liquidity, diversification, credit quality and average credit life/duration requirements. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Short-Term Investments.

 

Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolios have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Portfolios in the event the Portfolios are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Portfolio.

 

The following tables represent a summary of the respective Portfolios’ securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under the Agreement as of December 31, 2023:

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

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

 

The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2023:

The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.

 

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

 

NOTE 13 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)

 

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer-term impacts are still uncertain.

In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated

entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.

 

NOTE 14 — MARKET DISRUPTION

 

A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including beyond those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor

sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of a Portfolio’s service providers.

 

NOTE 15 — REORGANIZATIONS

 

On July 8, 2022, International Index (“Acquiring Portfolio”) acquired all of the assets and assumed all liabilities of VY® T. Rowe Price International Stock Portfolio (“Acquired Portfolio”), an open-end investment company that is not included in this report, in a tax-free reorganization in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Portfolio were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Portfolio’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2022, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Acquiring Portfolio, the Acquiring Portfolio’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, are as follows (Unaudited):

 

Net investment income $   60,591,192‌
Net realized and unrealized loss on investments $   (450,244,237)
Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations $   (389,653,045)

 

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Portfolio that have been included in the Acquiring Portfolio’s statement of operations since July 8, 2022. Net assets and unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of the reorganization date were as follows:

 

Total Net   Total Net   Acquired   Acquired    
Assets of   Assets of   Portfolio’s   Portfolio’s    
Acquired   Acquiring   Capital Loss   Unrealized   Portfolios’
Portfolio   Portfolio   Carryforwards   Appreciation   Conversion
(000s)   (000s)   (000s)   (000s)   Ratio
$150,216 $1,995,297   $— $2,320 1.2903

 

The net assets of the Acquiring Portfolio after the acquisition of the Acquired Portfolio were $2,145,513,244.

 

NOTE 16 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 16 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)

 

(Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial statements.

 

NOTE 17 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Dividends: Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the following Portfolio declared dividends from net investment income of:

 

    Per Share   Payable   Record
    Amount   Date   Date
U.S. Bond Index            
Class ADV   $0.0281   February 1, 2024   Daily
Class I   $0.0321   February 1, 2024   Daily
Class S   $0.0301   February 1, 2024   Daily
Class S2   $0.0290   February 1, 2024   Daily

 

The Portfolios have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Other than the above, no such subsequent events were identified.

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

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

as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

 
(1)If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will either i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(2)Payments made quarterly.
(3)The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make or receive as a buyer of credit protection under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
(4)The fair values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Increasing fair values, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring.

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

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)

 

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS

 

At a meeting held on November 16, 2023, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Emerging Markets Index Portfolio, Voya International Index Portfolio, Voya Russell™ Large Cap Growth Index Portfolio, Voya Russell™ Large Cap Index Portfolio, Voya Russell™ Large Cap Value Index Portfolio, Voya Russell™ Mid Cap Growth Index Portfolio, Voya Russell™ Mid Cap Index Portfolio, Voya Russell™ Small Cap Index Portfolio, and Voya U.S. Bond Index Portfolio, each a series of the Company (the “Portfolios”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Directors”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Company, on behalf of the Portfolios, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC , the sub-adviser to each Portfolio (the “Sub-Adviser”), for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2024.

 

In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Directors also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgement and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.

 

The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Directors as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management

and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.

 

The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Directors request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Directors deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Directors retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Portfolio’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Directors periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.

 

The Manager or Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.

 

Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Portfolios, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Portfolios as set forth in the Management Contracts, including oversight of the Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

 

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 Portfolios under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.

 

Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis.

 

The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios and the level of resources committed to the Portfolios (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Portfolios.

 

Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.

 

Portfolio Performance

 

In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, with respect to each Portfolio that seeks investment results corresponding to the performance of an index (commonly referred to an as an “index fund”), the Board focused on the reasonableness of the differences

between the Portfolio’s net performance and the total return of such index over certain time periods.

 

Economies of Scale

 

When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Portfolio. In this regard, the Board noted any breakpoints in the management fee schedules that will result in a lower management fee rate when a Portfolio achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. The Board also considered that, while some of the Portfolios do not have management fee breakpoints, they may have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager or Sub-Adviser could be shared with each Portfolio through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints, if any, would inure to the benefit of the Manager.

 

Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients

 

The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from a Portfolio, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.

 

Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits

 

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by each Portfolio to the Manager compared to the Portfolio’s Selected Peer Group. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Portfolio, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered any fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Portfolios, including whether the Manager proposed any changes thereto. For each Portfolio, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to

 

206

 

 

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

 

the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.

 

For each Portfolio, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each Portfolio both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Portfolios and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager.

 

Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Portfolios’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Portfolio in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.

 

The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Portfolios. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Portfolios. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Portfolios and the Manager’s and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.

 

Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis

Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2023.

Portfolio Specifics**: The Portfolio employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI EM IndexSM. The Portfolio attempts to track the MSCI EM IndexSM by investing in most of the stocks that make up the MSCI EM IndexSM. The stocks are chosen using statistical techniques so as to minimize the anticipated tracking error to the MSCI EM IndexSM. This approach is employed because of the relatively large number of small and/or illiquid stocks in the MSCI EM IndexSM. The Portfolio may not always hold all of the same securities as the MSCI EM IndexSM.

 

While all regions generated positive returns for the reporting period, absolute performance was strongest in Latin America and Europe and weakest in Africa/Pacific ex Japan.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio invests principally in equity securities and employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI EM IndexSM.

 

 

 

 

 

*          The Portfolio’s net return may at times appear to diverge from the return of its benchmark index more than would be expected. These divergences may, in part, be the result of fair-value pricing adjustments to certain foreign securities as well as other pricing policies. In accordance with the Portfolio's Valuation Policy, fair-value pricing adjustments may be used to address pricing discrepancies that arise due to time-zone differences. Foreign securities may trade on exchanges that close many hours before the Portfolio’s closing share price is calculated in the United States, generally at 4 p.m., Eastern Time. In the hours between the foreign close and the U.S. close, the value of these foreign securities may change—because of company specific announcements or marketwide developments. Such price changes are not immediately reflected in international index values. Fair-value pricing takes such changes into account in calculating the Portfolio’s daily net asset value (“NAV”), so that the NAV doesn’t include “stale” prices. The result can be a temporary divergence between the return of the Portfolio and that of its benchmark index. The Portfolio also translates local prices to U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates at the time the NAV is calculated whereas the index does not.

 

**          Please note that this discussion refers to the Portfolio’s gross performance versus the benchmark. The benchmark does not incur expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in the benchmark.

Inception
VACS Index Series EM Portfolio(1)  10.00%
MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM(2) 10.70%

 

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio against the index indicated. The index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio and imposes no sales charges. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

 

The Portfolio’s performance is shown without the imposition of any expenses or charges which are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. Total returns would have been lower if such expenses or charges were included.

 

The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.

 

The performance shown includes, if applicable, the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Adviser and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.

The performance update illustrates performance for a variable investment option available through a variable annuity contract or a variable life insurance policy. The performance shown indicates past performance and is not a projection or prediction of future results. Actual investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Portfolio Specifics**: The Portfolio employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI EAFE®. The Portfolio attempts to track the MSCI EAFE® by investing in most of the stocks which make up the MSCI EAFE®. The stocks are chosen using statistical techniques so as to minimize the anticipated tracking error to the MSCI EAFE®. The approach is employed because of the relatively large number of small and/or illiquid stocks in the MSCI EAFE®. The Portfolio may not always hold all of the same securities as the MSCI EAFE®.

 

For the reporting period, absolute performance was strongest within information technology, industrials and energy. By contrast, real estate was the bottom absolute performing sector and only sector posting negative returns for the period.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio currently invests principally in common stocks and employs a “passive management” approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI EAFE® Index.

 

 

 

 

 

 

*          The Portfolio’s net return may at times appear to diverge from the return of its benchmark index more than would be expected. These divergences may, in part, be the result of fair-value pricing adjustments to certain foreign securities as well as other pricing policies. In accordance with the Portfolio's Valuation Policy, fair-value pricing adjustments may be used to address pricing discrepancies that arise due to time-zone differences. Foreign securities may trade on exchanges that close many hours before the Portfolio’s closing share price is calculated in the United States, generally at 4 p.m., Eastern Time. In the hours between the foreign close and the U.S. close, the value of these foreign securities may change — because of company specific announcements or marketwide developments. Such price changes are not immediately reflected in international index values. Fair-value pricing takes such changes into account in calculating the Portfolio’s daily net asset value (“NAV”), so that the NAV doesn’t include “stale” prices. The result can be a temporary divergence between the return of the Portfolio and that of its benchmark index. The Portfolio also translates local prices to U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates at the time the NAV is calculated whereas the index does not.

 

**          Please note that this discussion refers to the Portfolio’s gross performance versus the benchmark. The benchmark does not incur expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in the benchmark.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Portfolio expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The Portfolios’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any charges which are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract, variable life insurance policy, qualified pension, or retirement plan. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Portfolio Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Portfolio and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Registrants’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Registrants in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Registrants are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(1)  Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions, if any, at net asset value and does not reflect the effect of insurance contract charges. Total return for periods less than one year is not annualized.
(2)  Annualized for periods less than one year.
(3)  Ratios reflect operating expenses of a Portfolio.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023

 

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Voya Variable Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act” or “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on June 4, 1996. There are eighteen active separate investment series that comprise the Company. The four series (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”) included in this report are: Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio (“Series EM”), Voya VACS Index Series I Portfolio (“Series I”), Voya VACS Index Series MC Portfolio (“Series MC”), and Voya VACS Index Series SC Portfolio (“Series SC”), each a diversified series of the Company.

 

Voya Investors Trust (the “Trust”) is registered as an open- end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 3, 1988. The Trust consists of twenty-two active separate investment series. This report is for Voya VACS Index Series S Portfolio (“Series S”), a diversified series of the Trust.

 

Each of the series is referred to as a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios.” The investment objective of the Portfolios is described in the respective Portfolio’s Prospectus.

 

The Portfolios’ shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) because the shares are issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act. Investments in a Fund may only be made by “accredited investors,” within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act.

 

The Portfolios do not have a share class designation. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a portfolio and earn income and realized gains/losses from a portfolio. Expenses that are specific to a portfolio are charged directly to that portfolio. Other operating expenses shared by several portfolios are generally allocated among those portfolios based on average net assets.

 

Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the sub-adviser to the Portfolios. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios.

 
 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Portfolio is considered an investment company under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

 

A. Security Valuation. Each Portfolio is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Portfolio is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange- traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of each Portfolio is calculated by taking the value of each Portfolio’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting each Portfolio’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when a Portfolio is closed for business, Portfolio shares will not be priced and a Portfolio does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent a Portfolio’s assets are traded in other markets on days when a Portfolio does not price its shares, the value of a Portfolio’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Portfolio.

 

Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open- end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which each Portfolio may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign securities’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.

 

When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Portfolio assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Portfolio’s assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of

 

21

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(continued)

 

restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine each Portfolio’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in each Portfolio.

 

The Portfolios’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the portfolio can access at the reporting date.

 

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).

 

Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

 

Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input

 

 

levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgement used in determining those values.

 

A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.

 

Each investment asset or liability of the Portfolios is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the sub-advisers’ or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. The Portfolios classify each of their investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds. A table summarizing each Portfolio’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments.

 

GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when a Portfolio has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

 

B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.

 

C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(1)Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close.
  
(2)Purchases and sales of investment securities, income

 

22

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(continued)

 

and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Portfolios do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

 

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on each Portfolios’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments, which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.

 

D. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.

 

E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Portfolio to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all

 

of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of a Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.

 

The Portfolios may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.

 

F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

G. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Portfolios’ investment strategies permit the Portfolios to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, a Portfolio will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to risk factors. This may allow the Portfolio to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market or credit factors.

 

In pursuit of its investment objectives, a Portfolio may seek to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market or credit risk factors:

 

Credit Risk. The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.

 

Equity Risk. Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(continued)

 

during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of a Portfolio to achieve its investment objectives.

 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. To the extent that a Portfolio invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non- U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by a Portfolio through foreign currency exchange transactions.

 

Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.

 

Interest Rate Risk. With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this report, the United States experiences a rising interest rate environment, which may increase a Portfolio’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. For a fund that invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. If dealer capacity in fixed- income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed- income markets. Further, recent and potential changes in government policy may affect interest rates.

 

Risks of Investing in Derivatives. Each Portfolio’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market or credit risk factors and the overall market. In instances where a Portfolio is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market or credit risk factors for securities held by a Portfolio, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

 

Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by a Portfolio. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on a Portfolio and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Portfolio may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investments, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose a Portfolio to the risk of improper valuation.

 

Generally, derivatives are sophisticated financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset or assets. Derivatives include, among other things, swap agreements, options, forwards and futures. Investments in derivatives are generally negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC”) with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Portfolio to hold a security it might otherwise sell, or to sell a security it otherwise might hold at inopportune times or at an unanticipated price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains.

 

Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to a Portfolio. Each Portfolio’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions

 

24

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(continued)

 

who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. A Portfolio intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, a Portfolio enters into master netting arrangements, established within each Portfolio’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These Master Agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by a Portfolio and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.

 

A Portfolio may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate counterparty credit risk on OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from a Portfolio is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.

 

Each Portfolio has credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivative counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from a Portfolio. Credit related contingent features are established between each Portfolio and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that a Portfolio will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s net assets and/or a percentage decrease in a Portfolio’s NAV, which could cause a Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within each Portfolio’s Master Agreements.

 

There was no open OTC derivatives at December 31, 2023 for any Portfolio.

 

H. Futures Contracts. Each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and security indices. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Each Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts. Futures contracts traded

 

on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Portfolio’s assets are valued.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, each Portfolio is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Open futures contracts are reported on a table following each Portfolio of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are footnoted in the Portfolio of Investments, if any. Cash collateral held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in each Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in each Portfolio’s Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

 

Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. Futures contracts are purchased to provide immediate market exposure proportionate to the size of each Portfolio’s respective cash flows and residual cash balances in order to decrease potential tracking error if the cash remained uninvested in the market. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Portfolios are unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Portfolios’ securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2023, the Portfolios had average notional values on futures contracts purchased as disclosed below.

Please refer to the tables within each respective Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts as of December 31, 2023.

 

I.   Securities Lending. Each Portfolio may temporarily loan up to 33⅓% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. Securities lending involves two primary risks: “investment risk” and “borrower default risk.” When lending securities, the Portfolios will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Portfolios will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolios. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the NAV, causing the Portfolios to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Portfolios’ other risks.

 

J.  Restricted Securities. The Portfolios may invest in restricted securities, which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Restricted securities are fair valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board.

 

Securities that are not registered for sale to the public under the 1933 Act are referred to as “restricted securities.” These securities may be sold in private placement transactions between issuers and their purchasers and may be neither listed on an exchange nor traded in other established markets. Many times these securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. As a result of the absence of a public trading market, the prices of these securities may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to value than publicly traded securities. The price realized from the sale of these securities could be less than the amount originally paid or less than their fair value if they

 

 

 

are resold in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, these securities may not be subject to disclosure and other investment protection requirements that are afforded to publicly traded securities. Certain investments may include investment in smaller, less seasoned issuers, which may involve greater risk.

 

K. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust and the Company may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s and the Company’s, as applicable, maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES

 

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

 

The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM with respect to each Portfolio. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Portfolios and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of each respective Portfolio. Subject to

The Portfolios have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent directors, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the directors'/ trustees' fees that they are entitled to receive from the Portfolios. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the director under the DC Plan, the

amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the director/ trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Portfolios purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the directors'/ trustees' deferred fees, this results in a Portfolio asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of directors'/ trustees' fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Portfolios, and will not materially affect the Portfolios’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the DC Plan.

 

The Portfolios may engage in purchase and sale transactions with fund’s that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), a common sub- adviser and/ or common officers or trustees. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Series I, Series MC, Series SC, and Series S engaged in such transactions amounting to $971,761,832, $324,959,617, $323,491,160, and $3,104,571,486 of in-kind purchases, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT

 

Effective June 12, 2023, the Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 10, 2024. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Portfolio or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to June 12, 2023, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 12, 2023.

 

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance.

 

The following Portfolios utilized the line of credit during the period ended December 31, 2023:

NOTE 8 — SECURITIES LENDING

 

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

 

 

of collateral to the extent the cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements.

 

Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in cash equivalents, money market funds, repurchase agreements with maturities of not more than 99 days that are collateralized with U.S. Government securities, or certain short-term investments that have a remaining maturity of 190 days or less (“Permitted Investments”). Short-term investments include: securities, units, shares or other participations in short-term investment funds, pools or trusts; commercial paper, notes, bonds or other debt obligations, certificates of deposit, time deposits and other bank obligations and asset-backed commercial paper backed by diversified receivables and repurchase- backed programs. Permitted Investments are subject to certain guidelines established by the Adviser regarding liquidity, diversification, credit quality and average credit life/duration requirements. The securities purchased with

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 8 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

 

cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments under Short-Term Investments.

 

Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolios have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Portfolios in the event the Portfolios are delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a portfolio.

 

The following tables represent a summary of each respective Portfolio’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under the Agreement as of December 31, 2023:

NOTE 9 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

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

 

Dividends paid by the Portfolios from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.

The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal, Arizona state, and Massachusetts state (Series S).

 

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

 

NOTE 10 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE
(“LIBOR”)

 

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments, financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Portfolio may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Portfolio and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer- term impacts are still uncertain.

 

In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision)

 

 

(EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.

 

NOTE 11 — MARKET DISRUPTION

 

A Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long- term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of December 31, 2023 (continued)

 

 

NOTE 11 — MARKET DISRUPTION (continued)

 

default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of investments, including beyond those with direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect

 

 

individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Portfolio’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Portfolio and of a Portfolio’s service providers.

 

NOTE 12 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial statements.

 

NOTE 13 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Portfolios have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date through the date that the financial statements were issued (“subsequent events”) to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. No such subsequent events were identified.

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

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

 

At December 31, 2023, the following futures contracts were outstanding for Voya VACS Index Series I Portfolio:

 

   Number   Expiration   Notional   Unrealized 
Description  of Contracts   Date   Amount   Appreciation 
Long Contracts:                  
MSCI EAFE Index  422   03/15/24   $47,525,640   $1,670,008

Foreign taxes paid or withheld must be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. Shareholders are strongly advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.

Above figures may differ from those cited elsewhere in this report due to differences in the calculation of income and gains under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (book) purposes and Internal Revenue Service (tax) purposes.

Shareholders are strongly advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investments in the Portfolios. In January, shareholders, excluding corporate shareholders, receive an IRS 1099-DIV regarding the federal tax status of the dividends and distributions they received in the calendar year.

(the “Company”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio, Voya VACS Index Series I Portfolio, Voya VACS Index Series MC Portfolio and Voya VACS Index Series SC Portfolio, each a series of the Company, and Voya VACS Index Series S Portfolio, a series of the Trust (the “Portfolios”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Directors/Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Company or Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the sub-adviser to each Portfolio (the “Sub-Adviser”), for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2024.

In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Directors/Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.

The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Directors/Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process for the Voya funds, among other functions,

 

and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.

The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Directors/Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Directors/ Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Directors/Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Portfolio (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Portfolio’s particular attributes; and

(2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Directors/Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.

The Manager or Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.

Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Portfolios, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Portfolios as set forth in the Management Contracts, including oversight of the Portfolios’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.

The Board considered the “manager-of-managers” structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the

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

 

Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the Sub-Advisers’ investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions with respect to the Portfolios under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.

Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Company and the Trust evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio are complied with on a consistent basis.

The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios and the level of resources committed to the Portfolios (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Portfolios.

Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.

Portfolio Performance

In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board focuses on the reasonableness of the differences between the Portfolio’s net performance and the total return of the index that the Portfolio seeks to track over certain time periods. The Board considered that the Portfolios had limited performance history as each was launched in early 2023 and that it was reasonable to provide more time for the purpose of evaluating the Portfolio’s performance.

 

Economies of Scale

When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Portfolio.

Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients

The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from a Portfolio, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.

Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by each Portfolio to the Manager compared to the Portfolio’s Selected Peer Group and which additional services the Manager pays for on behalf of the Portfolios under the “bundled fee” arrangement in return for a single management fee (“Unified Fee Structure”). The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Portfolio, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. For each Portfolio, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.

For each Portfolio, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Portfolio. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub- Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each Portfolio both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Portfolios and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager.

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

 

Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub- Adviser, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Portfolios’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Portfolio in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.

The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya- affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Portfolios. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Portfolios. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Portfolios and the Manager and Sub-Advisers’ potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.

Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis

Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the Board considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14,

2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Portfolio’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. Each Portfolio’s management fee rate and expense ratio were compared to the management fee rates and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. With respect to the quartile rankings noted below, the first quartile represents the range of funds with the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fourth quartile represents the range of funds with the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.

Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio

In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya VACS Index Series EM Portfolio, the

 

Board considered that the Portfolio had limited performance history as it was launched in March 2023.

In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a level fee rate that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Portfolio is ranked in the second quartile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Portfolio is ranked in the second quartile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the net expense ratio for the Portfolio is ranked in the first quartile of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.

(e)(1)Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

 

 

Appendix A

 

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY

 

I.Statement of Principles

 

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or Trustees (the “Committee”) of the Voya funds (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”) set out on Exhibit A to this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (“Policy”) is responsible for the oversight of the work of the Funds’ independent auditors. As part of its responsibilities, the Committee must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the auditors in order to assure that the provision of these services does not impair the auditors’ independence from the Funds. The Committee has adopted, and the Board has ratified, this Policy, which sets out the procedures and conditions under which the services of the independent auditors may be pre-approved.

 

Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules promulgated in accordance with the Act, the Funds may establish two different approaches to pre-approving audit and non-audit services. The Committee may approve services without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approval”) or it may pre-approve specific services (“specific pre-approval”). The Committee believes that the combination of these approaches contemplated in this Policy results in an effective and efficient method for pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Funds’ independent auditors. Under this Policy, services that are not of a type that may receive general pre-approval require specific pre-approval by the Committee. Any proposed services that exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require the Committee’s specific pre-approval.

 

For both types of approval, the Committee considers whether the subject services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and that such services are compatible with maintaining the auditors independence. The Committee also considers whether a particular audit firm is in the best position to provide effective and efficient services to the Funds. Reasons that the auditors are in the best position include the auditors’ familiarity with the Funds’ business, personnel, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the services will enhance the Funds’ ability to manage and control risk or improve audit quality. Such factors will be considered as a whole, with no one factor being determinative.

 

The appendices attached to this Policy describe the audit, audit-related, tax-related, and other services that have the Committee’s general pre-approval. For any service that has been approved through general pre-approval, the general pre-approval will remain in place for a period 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate. The Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditors without specific pre-approval. The Committee will revise the list of services subject to general pre-approval as appropriate. This Policy does not serve as a delegation to Fund management of the Committee’s duty to pre-approve services performed by the Funds’ independent auditors.

 

 

II.Audit Services

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

III.Audit-related Services

 

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

 

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

 

IV.Tax Services

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

 

V.Other Services

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

VI.Pre-approval of Fee levels and Budgeted Amounts

 

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

 

VII.Procedures

 

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

 

 

VIII.Delegation

 

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

 

IX.Additional Requirements

 

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