PRESIDENT’S LETTER

 

 

A question of resources

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Geopolitical strategy and diplomacy — not to mention the global economy — are deeply driven by questions of access to resources. Who has what you need? How much do you have to pay to get it? How friendly do buyers and sellers need to be?

 

Today we are confronted with a variety of such issues that may profoundly affect the world for decades to come. For example, the renewed prominence of the United States as an energy producer likely will impact the relationships between consumers, like Europe, and producers, such as Russia and OPEC. While the surge of people fleeing wars in the Middle East and Africa may present an integration challenge to Europe, it also may represent an infusion of youth and energy that the aging continent needs. And as traditional supplies of water come under stress, the need for alternative water sources will likely spur the creation of new technologies and new investment opportunities.

 

Of course, there are more immediate economic concerns, notably whether central bank support — waning in the U.S., expanding pretty much everywhere else — can sustain global economic growth. Add in elements of political uncertainty, and bouts of market volatility should not be unexpected.

 

What lessons lie here for your investment program? The most important: Don’t try to “game” diversification. No one can be certain how the global economy will turn, or know where the best investment opportunities will arise. Rather than groping for the next hot investment, you’re well advised to remain broadly diversified, retaining the potential to benefit from whatever the next generation of opportunities has to offer. Periodically review your portfolio with your financial advisor to make sure it remains focused on your investing goals. And as always, do not make changes to your portfolio without first discussing them with your financial advisor.

 

We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Shaun Mathews

President and Chief Executive Officer

Market Perspective: Six Months Ended April 30, 2015

 

Our new fiscal year commenced after a very volatile October, when global equities, represented by the MSCI World IndexSM (the “Index”) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends, fell and then rose more than 8%. In less volatile conditions, the Index added 8.17% in the first half of the fiscal year, during which the forces driving financial markets substantially changed. (The Index returned 5.09% for the six-months ended April 30, 2015, measured in U.S. dollars.)

 

For much of the period it seemed that the only credible major growth story in the world was the U.S. Economic data were initially mostly positive. The March employment report marked the twelfth consecutive month in which more than 200,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate was down to 5½%.

 

But reservations remained about the historically low labor force participation rate and annual wage growth languishing at about 2%. And by April some reports had started to deteriorate. The purchasing managers’ index for the manufacturing sector fell to the lowest in nearly two years. Manufacturing output itself was flat to falling, as were retail sales, even after the effect of lower gasoline prices. As for oil prices, March ended with a barrel of oil costing half of what it did seven months earlier, pushing headline annual inflation into negative territory. While this would have a beneficial effect on consumption in time, the more immediate effect was to reduce profits and investment in the energy sector and in industries that service it like capital goods and regional banks. This was evident in gross domestic product (“GDP”), which grew at a wafer-thin 0.2% annualized in the first quarter of 2015, after 2.2% in the previous quarter.

 

Outside of the U.S., annual GDP growth in China decelerated to 7.0% in the first quarter of 2015, the slowest in six years, depressing demand in the world’s commodity supplying countries. Japan had re-entered recession in the third quarter of 2014 after an April rise in the consumption tax, and the rebound, to growth of 1.5% annualized, was a disappointment.

 

But it was the euro zone that attracted most of the attention. The region entered 2015 after growth of barely 1% in 2014, unemployment perched at 11.5% and consumer prices falling. In Greece, on January 26, a new government took power, mandated to ease the terms of its €240 billion bailout and roll back reforms. The reaction of its creditors was uncompromising and the specter again loomed of a euro zone member country being forced out of the single currency with unknowable side effects. But four days earlier the European Central Bank had at last announced a program of quantitative easing, the elixir that despite all else, might drive asset prices higher, judging from the experience of the U.S. and Japan. Monthly purchases of bonds worth €60 billion would and did commence in March 2015. They would continue through September 2016. Furthermore by the end of the period, the gloomy euro zone data seemed to be turning. The unemployment rate edged down to 11.3%. Purchasing managers indices indicated increasingly solid expansion. Falling interest rates and the weaker euro (see below) would be good for business. Increasingly, buy euro zone equities, preferably currency-hedged, sell U.S., was the trade in the news.

 

In U.S. fixed income markets, the Treasury yield curve flattened in the first half of the fiscal year and the Barclays Long-Term U.S.

Treasury sub-index returned 6.48%. But it actually lost more than that in an April correction. The Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond index as a whole returned 2.07%, practically identical to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Barclays Aggregate”) of investment grade bonds, which increased 2.06%. The Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond sub-index added 2.35%, beating the 1.52% of the Barclays High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index (not a part of the Barclays Aggregate).

 

U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Index including dividends, gained 4.40% in the six months through April. The consumer discretionary sector was the top performer, returning 11.52%. Two of 10 sectors lost ground; not surprisingly the most serious was energy, down 4.71%. Many commentators expected S&P 500® earnings to start falling soon, depressed by the effect of lower energy prices and of the strong dollar on the value of revenues earned outside the U.S. Others remarked on the supportive effect of continuing high levels of share buybacks, with a value of  $553 billion in 2014, the highest since 2007.

 

In currencies, the dollar advanced against most others in the first half of the fiscal year. The dollar gained 11.59% on the euro, as the prospect and then the reality of euro zone quantitative easing drove down interest rates. The dollar added 4.20% against the pound. The UK has a comparable growth story to the U.S., but an election on May 7 portended another hung parliament and unattractive coalition possibilities. The dollar gained 6.29% against the yen, mostly in November, on an announced increase in monetary easing in Japan and a partial re-allocation into non-yen securities for the giant Government Pension Investment Fund (“GPIF”).

 

In international markets, the MSCI Japan® Index jumped 20.43%, with exporters benefiting from the lower yen and all sectors from the GPIF’s rebalancing into stocks. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index surged 16.46%, eclipsing its 2007 closing high. Quantitative easing, plus the declining euro that went with it, ultimately trumped poor economic data, which seemed to be improving at the end. The MSCI UK® Index added 8.10%, with financials and the consumer sectors making the largest contributions. The 15 largest names in the UK index: multinationals accounting for half of its value only averaged a return of about 4.6%.

Voya Diversified Emerging Markets Debt Fund (“Diversified Emerging Markets Debt” or the “Fund”) seeks total return including capital appreciation and current income. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt instruments of, or derivatives having economic characteristics similar to, the debt instruments of issuers in emerging market countries (collectively, “EMD securities”). Though the Fund may make direct investments in EMD securities, it achieves its exposures primarily through investments in other Voya mutual funds (“underlying funds”). The Fund is managed by Brian Timberlake, CFA, Jean-Dominique Bütikofer, CFA, and Matthew Toms, CFA, Portfolio Managers of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 1.36% compared to the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified (“JPM EMBI”) and a composite index which is a blend of 40% JP Morgan Government Bond Index – Emerging Markets Global Diversified, 40% JPM EMBI, and 20% JP Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index Diversified (“Composite Index”), which returned 1.37% and -2.42%, respectively for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The first half of the period witnessed the continuation of a broad-based sell-off in emerging markets (“EM”) that began mid-2014. Three themes dominated: the decline in commodity prices, specifically oil; the re-pricing of lower global growth expectations; and the expectation of quantitative easing by the European Central Bank. The downward revision of global growth kept interest rates low in several developed economies, which in turn provided support to interest rates in many developing economies, as it reduced the probability of an early hike by the Federal Reserve in the United States.

 

The second half of the period witnessed a rebound of EM external debt, while local currencies remained under pressure. Three themes dominated this part of the period: the rapid rise of risk appetite for high yielding EM credits; the bottoming of commodity prices and rebounding of oil prices; and ongoing EM currency weakness and volatility on the back of weaker EM growth prospects. The Fund outperformed the JPM EMBI before the deduction of fees and expenses, but underperformed net of fees during the reporting period. During the period, our asset allocation remained strongly biased toward external debt. In late March, as the sell-off in EM local currencies slowed down, we increased our exposure in EM local currencies and reduced our cash exposure. The lower yield resulting from our defensive asset allocation reduced the income contribution, which somewhat impacted performance.

 

Currency weakness was the biggest driver of Fund performance. We maintained a reduced allocation to local currency during the period, with approximately equal weightings to corporates and sovereigns. We further reduced our exposure to corporates in December given liquidity concerns.

 

The overweight in EM corporates versus EM sovereign contributed to relative results, while the small allocation to EM local debt detracted from performance as the EM currencies weakened over the period. Among corporate bonds, the financial sector was the largest detractor; energy and metals and mining were the largest contributors.

 

On the sovereign side, Europe and Latin America were strong drivers of performance for the period. One stand-out was Russia, which benefited from firmer oil prices and a potential settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. Russian sovereign bonds were buoyed by strong bids from local investors due to generous repurchase facilities; however, the rewards of a stabilizing situation were not equally shared among the combatants. Ukrainian sovereign bonds began the period as the Index’s worst performer, but rebounded strongly during the latter half of the period, which resulted in a contribution to Fund. Our overweight position in Kazakhstan was also a significant contributor to performance during the period.

 

In Latin America, overweight positions in Venezuela and Argentina — two of the best performing nations during the period — were large contributors to the Fund’s relative performance. In Asia, Indonesia performed strongly for the Fund. Additionally, security selection in South Africa contributed to return.

 

The Fund’s EM local currency exposures benefited relative results. The largest contributors were the Fund’s underweight of the euro against the U.S. dollar as a hedge against some Eastern European foreign exchange holdings; underweights in the Brazilian real, Peruvian new sol, Malaysian ringgit and Colombian peso; and an overweight of the short-end of the Brazilian real yield curve.

 

During the period, U.S. Treasury futures were used to optimize the portfolio duration positioning and currency forwards were used to manage currency risks. The Fund’s use of derivatives had a positive impact on performance for the reporting period.

 

Current Outlook and Strategy: Our investment strategy is to seek to earn current yield while capturing a measure of upside potential in credits that suffered the most during the early part of the reporting period. We maintain a neutral tactical outlook but will not become too aggressive in our positioning. The Fund may opportunistically increase its exposure to EM local currency while seeking to limit any elevated volatility of returns.

 

Emerging markets are contending with slow economic growth, a re-rating of systematically important countries such as Russia and Brazil, idiosyncratic geopolitical events and volatile commodity prices. The Fund’s current approximate allocation is 33% EM corporate debt, 44% EM hard currency debt, and 21% EM local currency debt.

Voya Diversified International Fund (“Diversified International” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests in a combination of other Voya mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”) according to target allocations determined by Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”). The Fund is managed by Paul Zemsky, CFA, Halvard Kvaale, CIMA, and Derek Sasveld, CFA, Portfolio Managers of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 4.85% compared to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) IndexSM (“MSCI ACWI ex-US”) which returned 5.56% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: International small cap equities outperformed most international asset classes during the reporting period. International developed equities lagged international small cap equities but outperformed emerging market equities. The Fund is managed according to a long-term strategic asset allocation (“SAA”), which differs in some respects from the benchmark. The Fund’s SAA consists of MSCI EAFE 85%, MSCI Emerging Markets 10% and MSCI EAFE Small Cap 5%. As part of our annual review of SAAs, we reduced the Fund’s emerging markets exposure by 5%. We increased international developed markets exposure in the belief that they offered more attractive potential reward in exchange for potential risk.

 

The Fund’s SAA outperformed MSCI ACWI ex US in part because the latter has an approximately 7% allocation to Canadian stocks which had a negative return for the period. The SAA has no explicit allocation to Canadian stocks but, unlike MSCI ACWI ex US, does have an allocation to EAFE Small Cap stocks which as noted above, performed strongly.

 

However, the Fund lagged its SAA because the underlying funds fell short of their individual benchmarks. Voya Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Voya Multi-Manager International Small Cap Fund were the weakest performers. Voya International Core Fund and Voya Multi-Manager International Equity Fund also underperformed their benchmarks.

 

During the first four months of the period the Fund was tactically underweight emerging markets by 2% in favor of international developed markets, which benefited performance as developed market were by far the stronger. The underweight was removed from the end of February.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Although we believe the United States has gotten off on the wrong foot, European activity continues to improve, with momentum building in both survey-based indicators as well as in hard economic data. With the strong economic momentum and diverging policy between the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and the European Central Bank, we remain positive on the euro zone from an equity perspective. However, we are cognizant that the run-up in equity prices during the first quarter leaves the burden on earnings to follow through to support valuations; otherwise, the risk exists that the sharp inflows that have occurred into the region will likely begin to migrate elsewhere.

 

Emerging market equities have enjoyed the dual tailwinds of easier Chinese monetary policy, which has boosted expectations for increasing economic activity; and a loosening of financial conditions as markets have pushed out expectations of Fed rate hikes. The People’s Bank of China recently sent a strong easing signal by cutting the required reserve ratio for major banks by 100 basis points, the largest cut since November 2008. We expect additional easing in the coming months, as activity has started to deviate too far from the managed deceleration path the government has embarked upon. In addition to easing financial conditions, there has been an increase in what seems like speculative activity in the Chinese A-share market (for domestic investors), which has started to spill over into the globally traded H-share market. We do not believe it would be practicable to time an end to this current move, but we would look for a turn once policy ceases to be supportive or if Chinese regulators start to clamp down on what they perceive as speculative behavior.

Voya Global Bond Fund (“Global Bond” or the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Mustafa Chowdhury, Christine Hurtsellers, CFA, and Brian Timberlake, CFA, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.*

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of  -1.86% compared to the Barclays Global Aggregate Index (“BGA Index”), which returned -1.92% for the same period. Class A shares provided a total of  $0.21 per share of return of capital for the six months ended April 30, 2015.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the reporting period. This result was due to the beneficial effects of the Fund’s currency positioning. Other decision parameters, e.g., interest rate exposure and “spread,” or yield, detracted from relative results for the period.

 

The Fund remained generally overweight corporate credit, both high yield and investment grade, in the United States and emerging markets, with an offsetting underweight in developed market sovereign debt. Allocation to these spread sectors detracted from relative returns over the period as lower U.S. Treasury yields and risks from the energy sector drove credit spreads significantly wider, particularly late in the fourth quarter of 2014. While commercial mortgage-backed securities were fairly resilient, commodity-sensitive high yield corporate bonds and emerging market exposures suffered from the fall in oil prices.

 

Interest rate positioning detracted from returns over the period; we maintained a lower interest rate posture throughout the period to protect the Fund from risks of rising interest rates. This hurt results during the first few months of the period as rates fell, but helped during the second as rates began to climb higher again. The Fund’s lower interest rate posture in the U.S. was particularly helpful when the U.S. ten-year Treasury rate spiked from 1.64% in January to 2.25% in February and March 2015. In March, the Fund was positioned to benefit from curve flattening in Germany, which occurred as the market reacted to European Central Bank (“ECB”) purchases that were heavily concentrated in longer-maturity bonds.

 

For the period, currency exposure was a positive contributor to Fund performance. The Fund was overweight the U.S. dollar and underweight the Japanese yen and the euro throughout the first half of the period. These positions proved fruitful as the dollar proved to be the strongest performing major currency during the period.

 

Derivatives were used throughout the period to manage interest rate and currency risk and contributed to the Fund’s overall performance. The types of derivatives used for these purposes included interest rate swaps, government bond futures, interest rate options, currency forwards and currency options. In addition, so-called “CDX indices,” exchange-traded credit default swaps, were occasionally used to manage exposure to spread sectors during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Since helping to pull the economy out from the wreckage of the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) has taken great pains to clearly telegraph its intentions so as not to catch jumpy markets off guard. Even when opting against specific dates to describe its policy trajectory, the central bank has employed an assortment of investor-soothing phrases; for example, since the December 2014 end of its third salvo of quantitative easing, the Fed has maintained that it would be “patient” in raising interest rates. As the lift-off date for the Fed rate hike cycle appears to be pushed out a bit, other central banks have grown even more accommodative in an effort to boost their lagging economies and moribund inflation. India, China, South Korea, Thailand, Denmark, Hungary, Israel, Poland and Russia were among those to cut key rates this year. The ECB, meanwhile, launched its long-awaited bond-buying program in March.

 

We believe the Fed will likely wait until late this year or perhaps 2016 before introducing a fed funds rate hike. The markets reflect a small amount of hike embedded in the forward rates. We expect the level and slope of the yield curve to remain stable until the Fed gives a clearer message about rate normalization.

 

With the ECB buying €60 billion of bonds per month, we believe interest rates in the euro zone will continue to be driven by liquidity and supply-demand factors. ECB purchases could drive the nominal yield on 30-year German bunds below zero. A shift in ECB focus to the periphery would be positive for issues from these countries, while signs of premature tapering could push the market the other way.

 

The conflict between central banks’ policy outlook and the direction of economic data has kept developed market currency rates fairly directionless versus the dollar since Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s mid-March press conference. We think the greenback is at or near its short-term peak against developed market currencies. Further decline in crude oil prices or an increase in the fed funds rate could trigger another dollar rally, but, in our view, neither is likely within the next couple of months.

 

In terms of asset allocation, the Fund has reduced its overweight to selected credit sectors, including certain high yield corporates. While our outlook for corporate spreads remains positive, we believe the risk profile of the sector is somewhat less benign than it was earlier in the cycle. With relatively low economic growth, increased volatility in commodity prices and the business cycle now more mature, we believe it is prudent to moderate our asset allocation stance.

Voya Global Perspectives Fund (“Global Perspectives” or the “Fund”) seeks total return. Under normal market conditions, the sub-adviser invests the assets of the Fund in a combination of underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) that, in turn, invest directly in securities such as stocks and bonds. The Fund is managed by Douglas Coté, CFA, and Karyn Cavanaugh, CFA, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Approximately 60% of the Fund’s net assets are allocated to Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in equity securities; approximately 40% of the Fund’s net assets are allocated to Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in debt instruments. These approximate weights are referred to as “target allocations.” Depending upon the rules-based investment strategy, the equity target allocation may drop to approximately 30% and the debt target allocation may rise to approximately 70% — such weightings are called “defensive allocations.” No adjustments to the target allocations or defensive allocations will be made between quarterly allocation dates.

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 2.77% compared to the 4.16% return of the S&P Target Risk Growth Index and the 3.55% return of the Fund’s composite index (“Composite Index”).

 

Portfolio Specifics: While the end months of 2014 were dominated by low oil prices, speculation about rising interest rates and geopolitical risks — fundamentals signaling good news for the U.S. economy remained strong.

 

The first quarter of 2015 experienced significant global central bank stimulus. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) finally initiated its quantitative easing plan and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate-hike path appeared to grow more benign. The rising U.S. dollar and collapsing energy prices took a toll on many of the mega-capitalization companies in domestic large-cap indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500®. Meanwhile, smaller-cap domestic equity markets surged, as did Europe, China, Japan and select emerging markets. Europe, for example, was fueled by the 20% drop in the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate, which instantly boosted the global competitiveness of the region’s manufacturers and raised forecasts for 2015 gross domestic product growth.

 

Central bank activity also sent bond prices and returns skyward, resulting in low-to-negative real yields in the United States and Europe, to the delight of business and consumer borrowers. However, the start of the second quarter of 2015 witnessed a reversal in the yield trend based on projections for more robust growth.

 

Despite the handwringing over the pronounced movements in currency and energy markets during the first four months of 2015, we believe the trends are suggestive of simple normalization. Currency-exchange activity has pushed the dollar toward its pre-2001 average while moving the euro closer to its level at its 1999 issuance. Oil prices are sharply off the high levels we’ve grown accustomed to in recent years, but are still trading above their 30-year average.

 

Normalization is not being welcomed in all corners; both corporate profits and certain national economies have felt an immediate, detrimental impact from currency and energy trends. Those who stand to benefit from these new levels, on the other hand, are seeing a slower transmission of the spoils, a timing mismatch we believe is likely to show up in first quarter corporate profits.

 

Meanwhile, the trend toward broad normalization has bypassed interest rates, inflation and volatility, all of which remain near historical lows as investors continue to brace for a long awaited uptick that never seems to happen.

 

For the reporting period, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P Target Risk Growth Index, but still performed positively. The Fund underperformed primarily due to adverse asset class selection and secondarily due to the adverse performance of some Underlying Funds.

 

The Fund’s relative equity performance was negative primarily due to selection in the Voya Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the Voya Global Real Estate Fund and a higher allocation to these lagging asset classes. This was somewhat offset by positive relative performance and a higher allocation to this outperforming asset class in the Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund.

 

Fixed income assets in the Fund underperformed the benchmark, primarily impacted by the Voya Global Bond Fund representing an asset class which suffered a negative return during the period. The poor performance was somewhat offset by positive relative performance in the Voya Intermediate Bond Fund.

 

The Fund’s positioning was at our base allocation, fully invested consistent with the Global Perspectives Fund’s positive tactical signal. A defensive allocation will be implemented when the Global Perspectives Fund’s tactical signal, based on earnings growth, is negative. At the base allocation, each Underlying Fund is approximately equally weighted within the broad globally diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities.

 

Current Outlook and Strategy: The global economy continued its growth trajectory throughout the period, supported by accommodative global central banks, notably the ECB, which we believe offset some of the worst effects from collapsing oil prices and a surging U.S. dollar. As the U.S. Federal Reserve follows a different course, tighter policy in the U.S. and rampant easy money globally may be a game changer for asset allocation strategies. It is already apparent that, so far in 2015, global diversification has been outperforming U.S. domestic investing. Broad global diversification consistent with the prevailing corporate earnings growth environment continues to be the Fund’s strategy.

Voya Global Value Advantage Fund* (“Global Value Advantage” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth and current income. The Fund is managed by Martin Jansen, Christopher F. Corapi, James Ying, CFA, Vincent Costa, CFA, and David Rabinowitz, Portfolio Managers of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.**

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 5.44% compared to the MSCI ACW IndexSM (“MSCI ACWI”) which returned 4.97% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: During the first month of the reporting period, the Fund was managed according to its former international value mandate. Effective December 1, 2014, the Fund transitioned into the Voya Global Value Advantage Fund. At that time, the investment strategy and portfolio management team changed in accordance with the updated prospectus. As a result, there were changes in the Fund’s holdings which may have tax implications for shareholders. For the reporting period, and under the new mandate, the Fund outperformed the MSCI ACWI due to strong stock selection. Stock selection within the financial, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors contributed the most to relative performance, while unfavorable stock selection within the utilities and energy sectors detracted from results. Also, the Fund’s cash position detracted from relative results.

 

Among the top individual contributors to performance were China Railway Construction Corporation Limited, Shionogi & Co., Ltd. and Renault SA. Within the industrials sector, our overweight position in China Railway Construction Corporation Ltd. benefited from an expected railway expansion throughout Asia in the coming quarters, like the Moscow-Kazan high-speed collaboration. Our overweight position in Shionogi & Co., a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Japan, contributed positively to performance for the period. Outperformance was driven by the company’s research and development pipeline success as seen in a new product launch combined with cost cutting and increasing shareholder returns. Our overweight position in Renault SA, a French manufacturer of motor vehicles, rose in the wake of much stronger than expected car sales in Europe, where it is gaining market share.

Among the largest individual detractors from performance were Royal DSM NV, Southern Company and Microsoft Corporation. Shares of Royal DSM NV, a manufacturer of nutritional and pharmaceutical ingredients and industrial chemicals headquartered in the Netherlands, underperformed following the decision of the Swiss National Bank to remove pegging relative to the euro given the company’s significant cost base in Switzerland. Within the utilities sector, shares of Southern Company underperformed. Although the company’s fourth quarter 2014 earnings were on target, investors drove shares lower due to the construction overhang for both its Kemper and Vogtle projects. Our overweight position in Microsoft detracted from performance. The company provided disappointing guidance for the upcoming quarter due in part to currency exchange (FX) headwinds, but largely driven by weakness in its Windows operating system following the phasing out of Windows XP; weakness in Japan, China and Russia; and weak transactional revenues from its Office suite as the business shifts more to subscription.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to see what we believe to be attractive valuations in companies in a variety of sectors and regions. Going forward, we believe that high quality, high dividend paying global equities will continue to be in demand by investors searching for income and for funds with good downside capture, such as the Voya Global Value strategy has sought to provide. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was overweight the industrial, consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors; and underweight the information technology, financial and materials sectors.

  

 

 

*Prior to December 1, 2014, Global Value Advantage was known as “Voya International Value Equity Fund.”

 

**On September 12, 2014, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved a change with respect to the Fund’s name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, benchmark and portfolio management team. These changes became effective on December 1, 2014.

Voya Multi-Manager International Small Cap Fund (“International Small Cap” or the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by three sub-advisers — Acadian Asset Management LLC (“Acadian”), Victory Capital Management Inc. (“Victory Capital”), and Wellington Management Company LLP. (“Wellington”) (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).* Each manages a portion (“Sleeve”) of the Fund’s assets that is allocated to the Sub-Adviser. The following individuals are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of their respective Sleeve: John R. Chisholm, CFA, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, Brian K. Wolahan, CFA, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, and Brendan O. Bradley, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Director of Portfolio Management, all Portfolio Managers of the Sleeve that is managed by Acadian**; Daniel B. LeVan, CFA, Senior Portfolio Manager and Chief Investment Officer, and John W. Evers, CFA, Senior Portfolio Manager, of the Sleeve that is managed by Victory Capital; and Simon H. Thomas, Senior Managing Director and Equity Portfolio Manager, and Daniel Maguire, CFA, Senior Managing Director and Equity Portfolio Manager, of the Sleeve that is managed by Wellington.

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 7.41% compared to the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index and the MSCI EAFE® Small Cap Index, which returned 9.78% and 10.08%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: Acadian Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index by approximately 311 basis points (3.11%) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2015, as losses from stock selection were deepened by value lost from country allocations. With regard to stock selection, key sources of negative active return included positions in the U.K., Korea, and France. Top detractors within these markets were U.K.-based construction firm Interserve, Korean semiconductor maker MagnaChip Semiconductor, and French video game developer Ubisoft. Stock selection proved more successful in Canada, Australia, and Germany, driven by investments in Canadian diamond producer Dominion Diamond, Australian beauty and health retail company Australian Pharmaceutical Industries, and German real estate company Patrizia Immoblien. With respect to country allocations, key sources of value lost included an overweight position in Canada, an underweight position in Korea, and an opportunistic exposure to India. Underweight positions in Australia and Spain helped to mitigate losses, as did an opportunistic exposure to South Africa. Sector allocations yielded negative results, largely due to our overweight position in the energy sector and underweight position in the financials sector.

Victory Capital Sleeve — The Sleeve outperformed the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index by approximately 91 basis points (0.91%) for the two-month period ended April 30, 2015. International Small Cap markets continue to be supported by accommodative policy in several parts of the world and an improving outlook for corporate profits. Hong Kong was the best performing market during the period. Stocks in Hong Kong rallied after mainland authorities made it easier for domestic Chinese investors to purchase Hong Kong listed stocks using a cross-border bourse link. South Korea markets also performed strongly as the economy’s economic growth exceeded expectations in the first quarter, boosted by increases in construction and consumer spending.

 

All ten sectors finished in positive territory for the period. Energy stocks rebounded and were by far the best performers as the price of Brent oil rose over 4%. Materials were the laggards but still managed a positive return during the period.

 

Overall security selection was positive and accounted for all of the strategy’s relative outperformance. Excess returns were generated in four of the five regions and seven of the ten economic sectors. Within consumer discretionary, Man Wah, the Hong Kong based furniture manufacturer rose significantly, reflecting optimism for strong sofa sales in the US and China. Relative performance in technology was boosted by PAX Global, the Hong Kong based leader in point of sale terminals. PAX Global rose on enthusiasm for further volume growth in Latin American and Chinese markets.

On the downside, performance in telecommunication services detracted from relative performance, hurt in particular by a position in Belgian mobile service provider Mobistar SA. Shares of Mobistar fell during the period following the announced merger between two competitors, Telenet and Base. Telenet will no longer need to use Mobistar’s network to resell mobile service to its customers following the deal.

 

Wellington Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the MSCI EAFE® Small Cap Index by approximately 105 basis points (1.05%) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2015.

 

Positive security selection within the industrials, information technology, and utilities sectors contributed to the Sleeve’s relative performance. This was partially offset by negative selection within the consumer discretionary, financials, and energy sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, contributed modestly to relative results. From a regional perspective, strong stock selection in Europe ex. UK and UK, coupled with an underweight allocation to Pacific Developed ex Japan, which underperformed, were the primary drivers of relative outperformance. This was partially offset by negative security selection in Japan and an overweight allocation to Emerging Markets.

 

Top individual contributors to relative performance during the period included Switzerland-based airline catering and logistical services company Gategroup, Italian asset management service provider Anima, and Japan-based health care company Asahi Intecc. Top detractors from relative performance included Japanese steel company Yamato Kogyo, Japan-based Zuiko, a leading supplier in diaper making machinery, and Brazil-based white and electronic goods retailer Magazine Luiza.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Acadian Sleeve — Our approach emphasizes finding companies that are attractively priced, have an improving outlook for earnings growth, strong operating and asset quality characteristics, and good momentum. We use a quantitative framework to trade off these characteristics and determine which companies are currently the best investments. We mostly emphasize stock selection, but also consider macroeconomic drivers and assess which regions and industries are most attractive. We currently are overweighting Japan, Canada, and Germany. We also maintain opportunistic exposures to several emerging markets, including India, South Africa, Taiwan, and Thailand. We are underweighting the U.K., Switzerland, Australia, France, Korea, Spain, and Sweden. At the sector level, we are currently emphasizing information technology and industrials, and are underweight financials, consumer discretionary, and consumer staples.

 

Victory Capital Sleeve — We believe that central bank policy continues to have the biggest impact on global markets and we expect this to continue in the near term. We also believe that the U.S. Dollar’s strength relative to other major currencies will continue to have an impact on corporate profits and commodity prices. Weaker local currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar will allow foreign companies to compete better with U.S multi nationals. While pockets of geopolitical volatility will undoubtedly arise, the most recent conflicts in Syria and Yemen have thus far had little to no effect on equity markets. On the corporate side, merger and acquisition activity has been robust as several large deals have been announced this year across several sectors. We believe further acquisition momentum could serve as a catalyst for global equity prices as companies take advantage of low interest rates, improving employment numbers and significant cash. We are confident in our ability to select companies that we believe could report positive earnings surprises. We will remain focused on stock selection while adhering to our strict country and sector risk controls.

 

Wellington Sleeve — Our investment process prioritizes intensive fundamental bottom-up research to select what we believe to be high quality stocks with strong balance sheets and good business models that are attractively valued relative to their global industry. Further, we buy companies whose results we think will exceed consensus expectations over the next two to three years. We believe a disciplined approach to valuation and a quality orientation can offer the potential for better downside protection and overall performance over time.

 

The Sleeve ended the period most overweight industrials, health care, and materials and most underweight the information technology, consumer staples, and consumer discretionary sectors. Regionally, the Sleeve ended the period most overweight Japan and Emerging Markets, while most underweight Pacific Developed ex Japan and UK.

Voya Russia Fund (“Russia” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation.* The Fund is managed by Renat Nadyukov and Nathan Griffiths, Portfolio Managers, of NNIP Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.**

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of  -2.47% compared to the Russia Trading System (“RTS”) Index and the MSCI Russia 10/40 Index, which returned -4.49% and -2.36%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Russian equity market witnessed increased volatility over the reporting period. A combination of weak oil prices and Western sanctions pushed the Russian economy into a recession. The military escalation in Eastern Ukraine and unprecedented decline in the value of the Russian ruble versus the U.S. dollar initially caused a broad market sell-off. This was followed by a market reversal in the beginning of 2015, after the signing of the Minsk Agreements and successful measures taken by the Central Bank of Russia to stabilize the currency.

 

For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the RTS benchmark. The Fund outperformed the MSCI Russia 10/40 Index before the deduction of fees and expenses, but underperformed net of fees during the reporting period. Fund results were driven by sector allocation, particularly by contributions from the Fund’s underweights in the telecommunications services and utilities sectors. By contrast, the Fund’s underweight allocation to the financial sector detracted from performance. Stock selection in the financial and consumer staples sectors detracted from results, while the Fund benefited from stock selection in the materials and energy sectors. The Fund maintained an allocation to cash, which, on balance, detracted from results during this volatile period.

 

The Fund continued to invest in companies that we believed were well-positioned to benefit from stable demand for Russian exports and good standards of corporate governance. We held a preference for exporters, which we believed would benefit from a weaker ruble and limited exposure to domestic, consumption-driven companies during the reporting period.

 

The top three stock contributors to relative performance were Rostelecom (telecommunications, underweight), Surgutneftegaz (energy, overweight) and Rushydro JSC (utilities, underweight). The bottom three stock detractors from relative performance were VTB Bank JSC (financials, underweight), Magnit PJSC (consumer staples, overweight) and Gazprom Neft (energy, overweight).

Current Outlook and Strategy: Our base case scenario remains that Russia is likely to limit its future involvement in Eastern Ukraine and maintain the current frozen nature of the conflict. Nevertheless, we remain skeptical about swift removal of Western sanctions in the near future. We continue to see weak domestic demand and downside risks to economic growth given current oil prices and unresolved geopolitical tensions in 2015. We believe that, in the current environment, future oil prices form the single most important forward-looking indicator for the Russian economy.

 

While higher oil prices will be clearly beneficial to future economic development of the country, we do not believe that the Russian government can rely on rising oil prices alone to generate sustainable economic growth and increase standards of living for a majority of its population. In the absence of spending cuts and alternative sources of economic growth, we do not believe that the Russian budget can sustain recent levels of domestic consumption and social spending in the future.

 

It’s our opinion that the Russian government has chosen to maintain the status quo and avoid introduction of economic and fiscal reforms in the anticipation of the future oil price recovery. There is no evidence of a fiscal policy adjustment to permanently lower oil prices. Positive trade balance and considerable hard currency reserves make this choice possible but hardly encouraging for new sources of future economic growth. It’s possible that Russian leadership will struggle to identify what this new model of economic development should be and whether it has adequate resources to implement it. Without having a clear direction, it could be better to stand still for a moment. However, we believe that the duration of this reflective moment and probability of future economic reforms are inversely correlated with future oil prices.

  

 

 

*Prior to February 10, 2015, the Fund’s investment objective was to seek long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of Russian companies, and the investment objective was fundamental.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)

 

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

 

The Examples are based on an investment of  $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015. Each Fund’s expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.

 

Actual Expenses

 

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

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

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Voya Mutual Funds (“VMF” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on December 18, 1992 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. There are fifteen separate active investment series, seven of which are included in this report (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Voya Diversified Emerging Markets Debt Fund (“Diversified Emerging Markets Debt”), Voya Diversified International Fund (“Diversified International”), Voya Global Bond Fund (“Global Bond”), Voya Global Perspectives Fund (“Global Perspectives”), Voya Global Value Advantage Fund (“Global Value Advantage”), Voya Multi-Manager International Small Cap Fund (“Multi-Manager International Small Cap”), and Voya Russia Fund (“Russia”). Each Fund (except Global Bond and Russia) is a diversified series of the Trust. Global Bond and Russia are non-diversified series of the Trust. Prior to December 1, 2014, Global Value Advantage was known as “Voya International Value Equity Fund.”

 

Each Fund offers at least three or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class O, Class R, Class R6 and Class W. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees and transfer agent fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of a fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from a fund pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a fund or a class are charged directly to that fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable.

 

Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are closed to new investors and additional investments from existing shareholders, except in connection with the reinvestment of any distributions and permitted exchanges.

 

Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Funds. Voya

Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the sub-adviser to all Funds except Multi-Manager International Small Cap and Russia. Voya Funds Services, LLC (“VFS” or the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the Administrator to the Funds. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Funds.

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

A. Security Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Fund is determined each business day as of the close of regular trading (“Market Close”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless otherwise designated by the NYSE) each day on which the NYSE is open for trading. The Funds are open for business every day the NYSE is open. Fund shares will not be priced on days when the NYSE is closed. The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding.

 

Assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the normal trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask price on that day. Bank loans are valued at the average of the averages between the bid and ask prices provided to an independent loan pricing service by brokers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

When a market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, a Fund will determine a fair value for the relevant asset in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (“Board”). Such procedures provide, for example, that: (a) Debt obligations are valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, benchmark yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity individual trading characteristics and other market data; (b) Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices provided by independent pricing services or market makers; (c) Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source using an industry accepted model, such as Black-Scholes; (d) Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued using a price provided by the central counterparty clearinghouse; (e) Over-the-counter swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (f) Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing current and forward rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Such prices from the third party pricing service are for specific settlement periods and each Fund’s forward foreign currency contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent period reported by the independent pricing service and (g) Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by brokers.

 

The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which a Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

 

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and believed to be reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. An independent pricing service determines the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be valued by the independent pricing service

using pricing models designed to estimate likely changes in the values of those securities between the times in which the trading in those securities is substantially completed and the close of the NYSE. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining the value of such securities and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures.

 

All other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable (or if the above fair valuation methods are unavailable or determined to be unreliable) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board following procedures approved by the Board. Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in a Fund.

 

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

 

The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the “Pricing Committee” as established by the Funds’ Administrator. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are

35

  

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Investment Adviser or sub-adviser, when determining the fair value of the security. In the event that a security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods established by the Board, the fair value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee. When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine its NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Pricing Committee believes accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks of investing in those securities valued in good faith at fair value nor can it be assured a Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

 

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Pricing Committee may compare prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and traded prices to the prior or current day prices and the Pricing Committee challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the independent pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued in good faith at fair value, the Pricing Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuation on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

 

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. The beginning of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, there have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.

 

B. Security 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, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.

C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.

 

Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

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

 

(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 the end of the day, the Funds and Underlying Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities that 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 taxes recorded on a Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid, and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.

 

D. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds’ investment strategies permit them to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, purchased options, written

36

  

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

options, and swaps. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.

 

Market Risk Factors. In pursuit of their investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risk factors:

 

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the U.S. dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the U.S. dollar depreciates against the currency.

 

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer durations, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter durations.

 

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

 

The use of these strategies involves certain special risks, including a possible imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price movements of derivative instruments and price movements of related investments. While some strategies involving derivative instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting

favorable price movements in related investments or otherwise, due to the possible inability of the Funds to purchase or sell a portfolio security at a time that otherwise would be favorable or the possible need to sell a portfolio security at a disadvantageous time because the Funds are required to maintain asset coverage or offsetting positions in connection with transactions in derivative instruments. Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the following notes.

 

Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. The Funds’ derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Funds intend to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that they believe to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, the Funds generally enter into master netting arrangements, established within the Funds’ International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by the Funds and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.

 

The Funds may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate credit risk associated with OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from the

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Funds is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.

 

At April 30, 2015, the maximum amount of loss that Diversified Emerging Markets Debt and Global Bond would incur if its counterparties failed to perform would be $574 and $13,889,447, respectively, which represents the gross payments to be received on open purchased options and forward foreign currency contracts were they to be unwound as of April 30, 2015. To reduce the amount of potential loss to Global Bond, various counterparties have pledged $1,614,000 in cash collateral for open OTC derivatives. There was no collateral pledged to Diversified Emerging Markets Debt at April 30, 2015.

 

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

 

Diversified Emerging Markets Debt and Global Bond had a liability position of  $2,274 and $20,411,902, respectively, on forward foreign currency contracts and written options with credit related contingent features. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of April 30, 2015, Diversified Emerging Markets Debt and Global Bond could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. As of April 30, 2015, Global Bond had pledged $7,950,000 in cash collateral for its open OTC derivative transactions. Diversified Emerging Markets Debt did not pledge any cash collateral at April 30, 2015.

 

E. Forward Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar, generally in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds and Underlying Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or may use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized.

Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

During the period ended April 30, 2015, Diversified Emerging Markets Debt and Global Bond had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts to buy of  $11,201 and $864,216,886, respectively. In addition to the above, Diversified Emerging Markets Debt and Global Bond had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contract to sell of  $112,481 and $680,386,271, respectively. Diversified Emerging Markets Debt used forward foreign currency contracts primarily to protect its non-U.S. dollar denominated holdings from adverse currency movements. Global Bond used forward foreign currency contracts primarily to gain currency exposure. Please refer to the tables following the Portfolio of Investments for Diversified Emerging Markets Debt and the Summary Portfolio of Investments for Global Bond for open forward foreign currency contracts at April 30, 2015.

 

Each Fund and Underlying Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. Each Fund and Underlying Fund intends to limit its use of futures contracts and futures options to “bona fide hedging” transactions, as such term is defined in applicable regulations, interpretations and practice. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund or an Underlying Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund or an Underlying Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund or an Underlying Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund or Underlying Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

 

Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the period ended April 30, 2015, Global Bond had both purchased and sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to gain exposure to different parts of the yield curve to assist the Fund with its duration strategy. Additional associated

38

  

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

 

During the period ended April 30, 2015, Global Bond had an average notional value of  $770,655,624 and $710,679,608 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively. Please refer to the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open futures contracts at April 30, 2015.

 

F. Options Contracts. The Funds 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 Funds’ exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Funds’ exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund 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. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. 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 Fund 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 Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

 

The Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Funds’ exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Funds’ exposure to the underlying instrument. The Funds 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 period ended April 30, 2015, Global Bond had purchased and written foreign currency options to gain exposure to currencies and to generate income. Please refer to the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open purchased foreign currency options and the table following for open written foreign currency options at April 30, 2015.

 

During the period ended April 30, 2015, Global Bond had purchased and written interest rate swaptions to gain additional exposure to interest rates and to generate income. Please refer to the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open purchased interest rate swaptions and the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open written interest rate swaptions at April 30, 2015.

 

Please refer to Note 10 for the volume of purchased and written option activity during the period ended April 30, 2015.

 

G. Swap Agreements. Certain Funds 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). 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 Fund may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and currency swaps to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. All outstanding swap agreements are reported following each Fund’s Summary 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 Fund’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 Fund when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as

39

  

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A Fund also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

 

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 Fund’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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund may execute these contracts to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market. A Fund 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 Funds may sell credit default swaps which expose these Funds 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 Fund is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the

terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund 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 Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

 

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed in each Fund’s Summary 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 Fund 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,

40

  

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, Global Bond had an average notional amount of  $52,347,796 on credit default swaps to buy protection.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, Global Bond has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual securities or credit default swap indices to hedge against anticipated potential credit events. There were no open credit default swaps at April 30, 2015.

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreements. Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swaps. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, Diversified Emerging Markets Debt has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate (“Long interest rate swap”) in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Outstanding notional amounts on long interest rate swaps were $60,000.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, Global Bond has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate (“Long interest rate swap”) in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amounts on long interest rate swaps were $1,096,480,900.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, Global Bond has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate (“Short interest rate swap”) in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amounts on short interest rate swaps were $821,370,607.

 

At April 30, 2015, Diversified Emerging Markets Debt had pledged $20,000 in cash collateral as initial margin for open centrally cleared interest rate swaps.

 

At April 30, 2015, Global Bond had pledged $4,792,000 in cash collateral as initial margin for open centrally cleared credit and interest rate swaps.

 

Diversified Emerging Market Debt and Global Bond enter into interest rate swaps to manage their duration. Please refer to the table following the Portfolio of Investments for

Diversified Emerging Markets Debt and the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open centrally cleared interest rate swaps at April 30, 2015.

 

H. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on ex-dividend date. Each Fund, except for Global Bond, declares and pays dividends, if any, annually. Global Bond declares and pays dividends, if any, monthly. Each Fund distributes capital gains, if any, annually. The Funds may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP for investment companies.

 

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

 

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

 

J. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.

 

K. Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan securities representing up to 3313% of its total assets (except Multi-Manager International Small Cap and Global Value Advantage which can each lend up to 30% of its total assets) to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, a Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to a Fund in the event a Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the

41

  

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

collateral. Each Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) provides each Fund indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund.

 

L. Restricted Securities. Each Fund may invest in restricted securities which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“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.

 

M. Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Transactions. Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or a delayed-delivery basis. Each Fund may enter into forward commitments. 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 market value of such is identified in the Funds’ Summary Portfolio of investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets with the Funds’ custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.

 

To mitigate counterparty risk, the Funds 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 April 30, 2015, there was no cash collateral posted to any Fund for delayed-delivery or when-issued transactions.

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

The Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fee for Multi-Manager International Small Cap. The waiver is calculated as 50% of the difference between the former sub-advisory fee rate minus the new sub-advisory fee rate. This agreement will renew if the Investment Adviser elects to renew it. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board. For the period ended April 30, 2015, the Investment Adviser waived $30,369 in advisory fees for Multi-Manager International Small Cap.

 

Each Fund has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with each sub-adviser. These sub-advisers provide investment advice for the various Funds and are paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of the respective Funds. Subject to such policies as the Board or Investment Adviser may determine, each sub-adviser manages each respective Fund’s assets in accordance with that Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations. The sub-adviser of each Fund is as follows (*denotes a related party sub-adviser):

The Administrator provides certain administrative and shareholder services necessary for each Fund’s operations and is responsible for the supervision of other service providers. For its services, the Administrator is entitled to receive from each Fund a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.

 

Please see Note 18 — Subsequent Events on the Combination of the former Management Agreement and Administrative Agreement.

 

NOTE 6 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

 

Each share class of the Funds, except Class I, Class R6 and Class W, has a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby the Distributor is reimbursed or compensated (depending on the class of shares) by the Funds for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the 12b-1 Plans, each class of shares of a Fund pays the Distributor a Distribution and/or Service Fee based on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

 

Fund  Class A   Class B   Class C   Class O   Class R 
Diversified Emerging Markets Debt   0.25%   N/A    1.00%   N/A    N/A 
Diversified International   0.25%   1.00%   1.00%   0.25%   0.50%

NOTE 7 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

 

At April 30, 2015, the following direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Voya Financial, Inc. or affiliated investment companies owned more than 5% of the following Funds:

 

Subsidiary/Affiliated Investment
Company
  Fund  Percentage  
Voya Capital Allocation Fund  Global Bond   6.87%
Voya Global Target Payment Fund  Global Bond   5.84 
Voya Institutional Trust Company  Global Perspectives   52.60 
Voya Investment Management
Co. LLC
  Diversified Emerging Markets Debt   96.10 
Voya Solution 2015 Portfolio  Global Bond   6.71 
Voya Solution 2025 Portfolio  Global Bond   14.25 

 

Control is defined by the 1940 Act as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. The 1940 Act defines affiliates to include companies that are under common control. Therefore, if certain Funds have a common owner that owns over 25% of the outstanding securities of the Funds, they may be deemed to be affiliates of each other. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Funds.

 

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

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

 

NOTE 8 — OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES

 

At April 30, 2015, the following Funds had the following payables included in Other Accrued Expenses and Liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities that exceeded 5% of total liabilities:

NOTE 11 — LINE OF CREDIT

 

Each Fund, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, has entered into an unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BNY for an aggregate amount of $200,000,000. The proceeds may be used only to: (1) temporarily finance the purchase and sale of securities; or (2) finance the redemption of shares of an investor in the Funds. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.07% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears.

 

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 Funds utilized the line of credit during the period ended April 30, 2015:

NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

 

All mutual funds involve risk — some more than others — and there is always the chance that you could lose money or not earn as much as you hope. A Fund’s risk profile is largely a factor of the principal securities in which it invests and investment techniques that it uses. For more information regarding the types of securities and investment techniques that may be used by the Funds and their corresponding risks, see each Fund’s most recent Prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information.

 

Diversified Emerging Markets Debt, Diversified International and Global Perspectives are also affected by other kinds of risks, depending on the types of securities held or strategies used by an Underlying Fund.

 

Asset Allocation (Diversified Emerging Markets Debt, Diversified International and Global Perspectives). Assets will be allocated among Underlying Funds and markets based on judgments by the Investment Adviser or sub-adviser. There is a risk that a Fund may allocate assets to an Underlying Fund or market that underperforms other funds or asset classes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

Investment by Funds-of-Funds (Global Bond). Certain Funds’ shares may be purchased by other investment companies. In some cases, a Fund may experience large inflows or redemptions due to allocations or rebalancings. While it is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions over time, there could be adverse effects on portfolio management. The Investment Adviser will monitor transactions by each Fund and will attempt to minimize any adverse effects on the Funds and the Fund-of-Funds as a result of these transactions. So long as a Fund accepts investments by other investment companies, it will not purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or under the terms of an exemptive order granted by the SEC.

 

Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets Risk (All Funds). Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which the Funds and Underlying Funds may invest are denominated in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Funds and Underlying Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds and Underlying Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as changes vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar from movements in currency, and changes in security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ investments. Foreign investment risks typically are greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets.

 

Non-Diversified (Global Bond and Russia). Certain of the Funds are classified as non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, which means that they are not limited by the 1940 Act in the proportion of assets that they may invest in the obligations of a single issuer. Declines in the value of that single company can significantly impact the value of a Fund. The investment of a large percentage of a Fund’s assets in the securities of a small number of issuers may cause a Fund’s share price to fluctuate more than that of a diversified investment company. Conversely, even though classified as non-diversified, a Fund may actually maintain a portfolio that is diversified with a large number of issuers. In such an event, a Fund would benefit less from appreciation in a single corporate issuer than if it had greater exposure to that issuer.

 

NOTE 14 — SECURITIES LENDING

 

Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Funds can lend their securities

to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Funds indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements.

 

The cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements that are collateralized at 102% with securities issued or fully guaranteed by the United States Treasury; United States government or any agency, instrumentality or authority of the United States government. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Summary Portfolio of Investments under Securities Lending Collateral.

 

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

NOTE 15 — 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 U.S. 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, paydowns, income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), wash sale deferrals and the expiration of capital loss carryforwards. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.

 

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

 

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

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the capital loss carryforwards which may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes as of October 31, 2014 are detailed below. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) provides an unlimited carryforward period for newly generated capital losses. Under the Act, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Funds' pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses are required to be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards.

NOTE 17 — RESTRUCTURING PLAN

 

Prior to May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”). In October 2009, ING Groep submitted a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) to the European Commission in order to receive approval for state aid granted to ING Groep by the Kingdom of the Netherlands in November 2008 and March 2009. To receive approval for this state aid, ING Groep was required to divest its insurance and investment management businesses, including Voya Financial, Inc. (formerly, ING U.S., Inc.), before the end of 2013. In November 2012, the Restructuring Plan was amended to permit ING Groep additional time to complete the divestment. Pursuant to the amended Restructuring Plan, ING Groep was required to divest at least 25% of Voya Financial, Inc. by the end of 2013 and more than 50% by the end of 2014, and was required to divest its remaining interest by the end of 2016 (such divestment, the “Separation Plan”).

 

In May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. conducted an initial public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”). In October 2013, March 2014, and September 2014, ING Groep divested additional shares in several secondary offerings of common stock of Voya Financial, Inc. and concurrent share repurchases by Voya Financial, Inc. These transactions reduced ING Groep’s ownership interest in Voya Financial, Inc. to 32%. Voya Financial, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from these offerings.

 

In November 2014, through an additional secondary offering and the concurrent repurchase of shares by Voya Financial, Inc., ING Groep further reduced its interest in Voya Financial, Inc. below 25% to approximately 19% (the “November 2014 Offering”). The November 2014 Offering was deemed by the Investment Adviser to be a change of control (the “Change of Control”), which resulted in the automatic termination of the existing investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements under which the Investment Adviser and sub-advisers provide services to the Funds. In anticipation of this termination, and in order to ensure that the existing investment advisory and sub-advisory services could continue uninterrupted, in 2013 the Board approved new advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Funds, as applicable, in connection with the IPO. In addition, in 2013, shareholders of each Fund approved new investment advisory and affiliated sub-advisory agreements prompted by the IPO, as well as any future advisory and affiliated sub-advisory agreements prompted by the Separation Plan that are approved by the Board and that have terms not materially different from the current agreements. This meant that shareholders would not have another opportunity to vote on a new agreement with the Investment Adviser or a current affiliated sub-adviser even

 

upon a change of control prompted by the Separation Plan, as long as no single person or group of persons acting together gains “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Voya Financial, Inc.

 

On November 18, 2014, in response to the Change of Control, the Board, at an in-person meeting, approved new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At that meeting, the Investment Adviser represented that the new investment advisory and affiliated sub-advisory agreements approved by the Board were not materially different from the agreements approved by shareholders in 2013 and no single person or group of persons acting together was expected to gain “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Voya Financial, Inc. As a result, shareholders of the Funds will not be asked to vote again on the new agreements with the Investment Adviser and affiliated sub-advisers.

 

In March 2015, ING Groep divested the remainder of its interest in Voya Financial, Inc. through a secondary offering of Voya Financial, Inc.’s common stock of and a concurrent share repurchase by Voya Financial, Inc. Voya Financial, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from these transactions.

 

Sub-adviser (Russia):

 

NNIP Advisors B.V. (“NNIP Advisors”) is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of NN Group N.V. (“NN Group”) and NN Group is a majority-owned subsidiary of ING Groep. In connection with the Restructuring Plan discussed above, ING Groep is required to divest more than 50% of its shares in NN Group before December 31, 2015 and the remaining interest before December 31, 2016. In July 2014, ING Groep settled the initial public offering of NN Group. ING Groep has stated that it intends to divest its remaining stake in NN Group in an orderly manner and ultimately by the end of 2016.

 

It is anticipated that one or more of the transactions to divest NN Group constitute a transfer of a controlling interest in NN Group, resulting in an “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the existing sub-advisory agreements under which NNIP Advisors provides services to the Fund for which NNIP Advisors serves as sub-adviser. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, these sub-advisory agreements would automatically terminate upon their assignment. In order to ensure that the existing sub-advisory services can continue uninterrupted, the Board approved new sub-advisory agreements for the Fund in anticipation of the divestment. Shareholders of the Fund for which NNIP Advisors serves as a sub-adviser approved these new investment sub-advisory agreements. This approval also included approval of any future sub-advisory agreements prompted by the divestment that are approved by the

NOTE 17 — RESTRUCTURING PLAN (continued)

Board and whose terms are not materially different from the current agreements. This means that shareholders of the Fund may not have another opportunity to vote on a new agreement with NNIP Advisors even if NNIP Advisors 

undergoes a change of control pursuant to ING Groep’s divestment of NN Group, as long as no single person or group of persons acting together gains “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of NN Group.

Combination of former Management Agreement and Administrative Agreement: At a meeting held on March 12, 2015, the Board approved amending and restating the Funds’ Management Agreement so that, effective May 1, 2015, the terms of each Fund’s Management Agreement and its Administrative Agreement are combined under a single Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement with a single management fee. The single management fee rate under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement does not exceed the former combined investment management and administrative services fee rates for each Fund and, under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, there was no change to the investment management or administrative services provided or the fees charged to each Fund.

In conjunction with the reorganization, effective close of business on May 22, 2015, the management fee for Global Value Advantage was changed to 0.950% on the first $500 million of assets; 0.900% on the next $500 million of assets; and 0.825% in excess of  $1 billion.

 

Line of Credit: Effective May 22, 2015, the funds to which the Credit Agreement is available will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears.

 

The Funds have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date (“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.

(1)For the period ended April 30, 2015, as a result of the fair value pricing procedures for international equities utilized by the Fund, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the year. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period. At April 30, 2015, securities valued at $8,989,328 and $20,411,763 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and Level 2 to Level 1, respectively, within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, securities valued at $69,857 were transferred to Level 3 due to significant unobservable inputs.

 

^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.

(1)For the period ended April 30, 2015, as a result of the fair value pricing procedures for international equities utilized by the Fund, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the year. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period. At April 30, 2015, securities valued at $1,004,250 and $17,847,060 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and Level 2 to Level 1, respectively, within the fair value hierarchy.

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

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)

 

 

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS IN CONNECTION WITH CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENT

 

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides that, when Voya Diversified Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Voya Diversified International Fund, Voya Global Bond Fund, Voya Global Perspectives Fund, Voya Global Value Advantage Fund, Voya Multi-Manager International Small Cap Fund, and Voya Russia Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of Voya Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), enters into a new investment advisory contract (the “Advisory Contract”) with Voya Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”), and the Adviser enters into new sub-advisory contracts (collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Contracts”) between the Adviser and the sub-advisers to each Fund (collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust, including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), must approve the new arrangements. Discussed below are certain factors that the Board considered at a meeting held on November 18, 2014 in determining whether to approve new advisory and sub-advisory arrangements for the Funds in connection with a Change of Control Event, as such term is defined below.

 

At the November 18, 2014 meeting, the Board noted that pursuant to an agreement with the European Commission, ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”), the former parent company of the Adviser and Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”), the sub-adviser to Voya Diversified Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Voya Diversified International Fund, Voya Global Bond Fund, Voya Global Perspectives Fund, Voya Global Value Advantage Fund, and Voya Russia Fund, is required to divest its entire interest in Voya Financial, Inc. (formerly known as ING U.S., Inc.), its U.S.-based insurance, retirement services, and investment management operations, which include the Adviser and Voya IM, by the end of 2016 (the “Separation Plan”). Voya Financial, Inc. previously was a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of ING Groep and is a parent company of the Adviser and Voya IM.

 

The Funds are subject to the 1940 Act, which provides that any investment advisory agreement, including any sub-advisory agreement, must terminate automatically upon its “assignment.” As used in the 1940 Act, the term assignment includes any transfer of a controlling block of outstanding voting securities of an adviser or the parent company of an adviser. Such a transfer is referred to herein as a “Change of Control Event.”

 

ING Groep’s base case to achieve the Separation Plan was through an initial public offering of Voya Financial, Inc. (the “IPO”) followed by the divestment of ING Groep’s remaining ownership interest over time through one or more additional public offerings of Voya Financial, Inc. stock, or, possibly, through one or more privately negotiated sales of the stock. The Board recognized that the Separation Plan contemplated several public offerings and each may have been deemed to be a Change of Control Event, triggering the necessity for new agreements, which would require the approval of the Board. The Board concluded that approval by shareholders of the new agreements that would become effective in the event of one or more Change of Control Events would permit the Funds to benefit from the continuation of services by the Adviser, the Sub-Advisers, and their affiliates throughout the Separation Plan without the need for multiple shareholder meetings. The Board was informed by the Adviser and its counsel that the Adviser obtained regulatory assurances from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2013 that they would not object to approval of future agreements by shareholders at a single shareholder meeting. The Funds’ shareholders approved the future agreements in May 2013.

 

The IPO was completed in May 2013. ING Groep divested additional shares in Voya Financial, Inc. through four subsequent public offerings since May 2013, including a secondary common stock offering that closed on November 18, 2014 (the “November Transaction”). (In addition, concurrently with the November Transaction, Voya Financial, Inc. repurchased $175 million of its shares directly from ING Groep.) Upon the completion of the November Transaction and the concurrent direct share repurchase, ING Groep’s ownership in Voya Financial, Inc. was reduced from approximately 32.5% to approximately 19%. This was deemed to be a Change of Control Event that resulted in the termination of the Funds’ existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements (the “Prior Agreements”) at the close of business on November 18, 2014.

 

In light of the foregoing, on November 18, 2014, the Board, at an in-person meeting, approved new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements (the “New Agreements”) for the Funds to replace the Prior Agreements upon termination. At that meeting, the Adviser represented that the agreements approved by the Board were not materially different from the agreements approved by shareholders of the Funds in 2013 and no single person or group of persons acting together was expected to gain “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Voya Financial, Inc. As a result, shareholders of the Funds

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

were not asked to vote again on these new agreements with the Adviser and Sub-Advisers.

 

The decision by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, to approve the New Agreements was based on a determination by the Board that it would be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds for the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to continue providing investment advisory, sub-advisory, and related services for the Funds, without interruption, after the Change of Control Event.

 

Prior to its approval of the New Agreements, the Board reviewed, among other matters, the quality, extent and nature of the services currently being provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers under the Prior Agreements and to be provided under the New Agreements. A substantial portion of this review was conducted as part of, and in conjunction with, the Board’s annual reviews of the Prior Agreements, which were most recently approved for continuation at the in-person meeting of the Board held on September 12, 2014. During the review process that led to its approval of the Prior Agreements on September 12, 2014, the Board was informed by the Adviser that it was likely the Board would be asked in the very near future to consider approval of the New Agreements. The Board further noted that the Change of Control Event would result in the Adviser’s and Voya IM’s loss of access to certain services and resources of ING Groep, which could adversely affect their businesses and profitability.

 

On September 12, 2014, the Board concluded, in light of all factors it considered, including undertakings by the Adviser relating to certain follow-up actions, to renew the Prior Agreements and that the fee rates set forth in the Prior Agreements were fair and reasonable. Among other factors, the Board considered: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided and to be provided under the Prior Agreements; (2) the extent to which economies of scale are reflected in fee rate schedules under the Prior Agreements; (3) the existence of any “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, and their affiliates; (4) a comparison of fee rates, expense ratios, and investment performance to those of similar funds; and (5) the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser, the Sub-Advisers, and their affiliates with respect to their services to the Funds.

 

A further description of the process followed by the Board in approving the Prior Agreements on September 12, 2014, including the information reviewed, certain material factors considered and certain related conclusions reached, is set forth in the Funds’ Annual Report, dated October 31, 2014, under the section titled Board Consideration and Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts.

 

In connection with its approval of the New Agreements, on November 18, 2014, the Board considered its conclusions in connection with its September 12, 2014 approvals of those Prior Agreements that were in effect on that date, including the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of services being provided and, as applicable, actions taken in certain instances to improve the relationship between the costs and the quality of services being provided. Also in connection with its November 18, 2014 approvals of the New Agreements, the Board considered a representation from the Adviser that there were no additional developments not already disclosed to the Board since September 12, 2014 that would be a material consideration to the Board in connection with its consideration of the New Agreements.

 

In addition, in determining whether to approve the New Agreements, the Board took into account the considerations set out below.

 

1)The Independent Trustees solicited and received ongoing advice regarding the Board’s legal duties when approving the New Agreements from K&L Gates LLP (“K&L Gates”), their independent legal counsel, which law firm has extensive experience regarding such matters.

 

2)The Board considered Management’s representations regarding its commitment to maintain appropriate levels of overall staffing, ongoing resources and service quality through the transactions under the Separation Plan and after the Change of Control Event. The Board noted that such services include, but are not limited to, portfolio management services, administrative services, and regulatory compliance services. In this regard, the Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates that their separation from ING Groep, as contemplated by the Separation Plan, will not lead to a reduction in the quality or scope of these and other services provided by those firms to the funds in the Voya funds complex, including the Funds. The Board also considered the importance of the asset management operations to the overall success of Voya Financial, Inc., which provides a strong incentive to Voya Financial, Inc. to provide appropriate resource allocations to support those asset management operations.

 

3)The Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates that approval of the New Agreements would be necessary for the Funds to continue receiving investment management services from the Adviser and Sub-Advisers

following the November 18, 2014 Change of Control Event. In addition, the Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates, as well as related supporting documentation, indicating that the New Agreements, including the fees payable thereunder, are substantially similar to and, in any event, are no less favorable to the Funds than the terms of the corresponding Prior Agreements.

 

4)The Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates, including senior investment management personnel, as well as related supporting documentation, indicating that: (a) the Adviser and Sub-Advisers can be expected to provide services of the same nature, extent and quality under the New Agreements as were provided thereby under the Prior Agreements; and (b) the November 18, 2014, Change of Control Event is not expected to result in any changes to: (i) the management of the Funds, including the continuity of the Funds’ portfolio managers and other personnel responsible for the management operations of the Funds; or (ii) the investment objective of or the principal investment strategies used to manage the Funds.

 

5)The Board considered actions taken by the Adviser subsequent to the September 12, 2014 approvals of the Prior Agreements with respect to certain Voya funds in response to requests made by the Board in connection with those approvals.

 

6)The Board considered the potential benefits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the New Agreements.

 

Based on the foregoing and other relevant considerations, at a meeting of the Board held on November 18, 2014, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the New Agreements. In this connection, the Board concluded that, in light of all factors considered, the terms of the New Agreements, including fee rates, were fair and reasonable, and the New Agreements should be approved so as to enable a continuation without interruption of the services being provided by the current service providers pursuant to the Prior Agreements. The Board noted that no one factor was determinative of its decisions which, instead, were premised upon the totality of factors considered. The Board also noted that different Board members likely placed emphasis on different factors in reaching their individual conclusions to vote in favor of the New Agreements.

 

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF NEW SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT

 

Voya Multi-Manager International Small Cap Fund (“MMISCF”) has been sub-advised by Acadian Asset Management LLC (“Acadian”) since March 1, 2005 and Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington”) since April 30, 2013. At the meeting of the Board that was held on January 22, 2015, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to: (1) appoint Victory Capital Management Inc. (“Victory”) as a sub-adviser to MMISCF; and (2) approve a sub-advisory agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Victory under which Victory would serve as an additional sub-adviser to the MMISCF, along with Wellington and Acadian.

 

In determining whether to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with Victory with respect to the MMISCF, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether the New Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved for the MMISCF. The materials provided to the Board to inform its consideration of whether to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement included the following: (1) Victory’s presentation before the International/Balanced/Fixed Income Funds IRC at its January 21, 2015 meeting; (2) memoranda and related materials provided to the Board in advance of its January 22, 2015 meeting discussing: (a) the Adviser’s rationale for recommending that Victory be added as a sub-adviser to MMISCF, including the Adviser’s view that adding Victory would provide MMISCF with additional small-capitalization capacity and provide shareholders with an additional experienced, capable sub-adviser and improved risk-adjusted performance potential; (b) the performance of Victory in managing its international small-capitalization equity strategy; (with such performance being compared against a relevant benchmark index); and (c) Victory’s investment philosophy and the firm’s overall investment process; (3) Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables for MMISCF that provide information about the projected net expense ratio of the MMISCF reflecting the addition of Victory as a sub-adviser, as compared with a representative group of mutual funds with similar investment programs to the investment program of MMISCF; (4) Victory’s responses to inquiries from K&L Gates, counsel to the Independent Trustees; (5) supporting documentation, including a copy of the form of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement; and (6) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation.

 

In reaching its decision to engage Victory, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered a number of factors including, but not limited

95

  

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

to, the following: (1) the Adviser’s view with respect to the reputation of Victory in managing its small-capitalization equity investment strategy; (2) the strength and reputation of Victory in the investment management industry; (3) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by Victory under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement; (4) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies, and resources of Victory and its fit among the stable of managers in the Voya funds line-up; (5) the fairness of the compensation under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement in light of the services to be provided by Victory; (6) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to Victory; (7) the 50/50 waiver arrangement whereby a portion of the benefit of lower aggregate sub-advisory fees resulting from the addition of Victory are shared with MMISCF shareholders; (8) Victory’s operations and compliance programs, including the policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the federal securities laws; (9) the appropriateness of the selection of Victory in light of the MMISCF’s investment objective and investor base; and (10) Victory’s Code of Ethics, and related procedures for complying with that Code.

 

After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) Victory should be appointed to serve as a sub-adviser to the MMISCF under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement; (2) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to Victory is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (3) Victory maintains appropriate compliance programs, with this conclusion based upon, among other things, a representation from the MMISCF’s CCO that Victory’s compliance policies and procedures are reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the MMISCF. During their deliberations, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

 

APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

 

At a meeting held on March 12, 2015, the Board approved amending and restating the Funds’ Investment Management Agreements so that, effective May 1, 2015, the terms of each Fund’s Investment Management Agreement and its Administration Agreement are

 

combined under a single Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement with a single management fee. The single management fee rate under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement does not exceed the former combined investment management and administrative services fee rates for the Fund and, under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, there was no change to the investment management or administrative services provided or the fees charged to the Fund.

 

In connection with its review, the Board determined that it did not need to consider certain factors it typically considers during its review of the Funds’ advisory agreements because it had reviewed, among other matters, the nature, extent and quality of services being provided and, as applicable, actions taken in certain instances to improve the relationship between the costs and the quality of services being provided on September 12, 2014, when it renewed the Agreements. In analyzing whether to approve the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements, the Board did consider, among other things: (1) a memorandum and related materials outlining the terms of these Agreements and Management’s rationale for proposing the amendments that combine the terms of each Fund’s investment management and administrative services arrangements under a single agreement; (2) Management’s representations that, under the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements, there would be no change in the fees payable for the combination of advisory and administrative services provided to the Funds; (3) Management’s confirmation that the implementation of the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements would result in no change in the scope of services that the Adviser provides to the Funds and that the personnel who have provided administrative and advisory services to the Funds previously would continue to do so after the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements become effective; and (4) representations from Management that the combination of the Agreements better aligns the Funds’ contracts with the manner in which Voya provides such services to the Funds. In approving the amendments to the Funds’ Investment Management Agreements, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

 

 

A question of resources

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Geopolitical strategy and diplomacy — not to mention the global economy — are deeply driven by questions of access to resources. Who has what you need? How much do you have to pay to get it? How friendly do buyers and sellers need to be?

 

Today we are confronted with a variety of such issues that may profoundly affect the world for decades to come. For example, the renewed prominence of the United States as an energy producer likely will impact the relationships between consumers, like Europe, and producers, such as Russia and OPEC. While the surge of people fleeing wars in the Middle East and Africa may present an integration challenge to Europe, it also may represent an infusion of youth and energy that the aging continent needs. And as traditional supplies of water come under stress, the need for alternative water sources will likely spur the creation of new technologies and new investment opportunities.

 

Of course, there are more immediate economic concerns, notably whether central bank support — waning in the U.S., expanding pretty much everywhere else — can sustain global economic growth. Add in elements of political uncertainty, and bouts of market volatility should not be unexpected.

 

What lessons lie here for your investment program? The most important: Don’t try to “game” diversification. No one can be certain how the global economy will turn, or know where the best investment opportunities will arise. Rather than groping for the next hot investment, you’re well advised to remain broadly diversified, retaining the potential to benefit from whatever the next generation of opportunities has to offer. Periodically review your portfolio with your financial advisor to make sure it remains focused on your investing goals. And as always, do not make changes to your portfolio without first discussing them with your financial advisor.

 

We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Shaun Mathews

President and Chief Executive Officer

Market Perspective: Six Months Ended April 30, 2015

 

Our new fiscal year commenced after a very volatile October, when global equities, represented by the MSCI World IndexSM (the “Index”) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends, fell and then rose more than 8%. In less volatile conditions, the Index added 8.17% in the first half of the fiscal year, during which the forces driving financial markets substantially changed. (The Index returned 5.09% for the six-months ended April 30, 2015, measured in U.S. dollars.)

 

For much of the period it seemed that the only credible major growth story in the world was the U.S. Economic data were initially mostly positive. The March employment report marked the twelfth consecutive month in which more than 200,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate was down to 5½%.

 

But reservations remained about the historically low labor force participation rate and annual wage growth languishing at about 2%. And by April some reports had started to deteriorate. The purchasing managers’ index for the manufacturing sector fell to the lowest in nearly two years. Manufacturing output itself was flat to falling, as were retail sales, even after the effect of lower gasoline prices. As for oil prices, March ended with a barrel of oil costing half of what it did seven months earlier, pushing headline annual inflation into negative territory. While this would have a beneficial effect on consumption in time, the more immediate effect was to reduce profits and investment in the energy sector and in industries that service it like capital goods and regional banks. This was evident in gross domestic product (“GDP”), which grew at a wafer-thin 0.2% annualized in the first quarter of 2015, after 2.2% in the previous quarter.

 

Outside of the U.S., annual GDP growth in China decelerated to 7.0% in the first quarter of 2015, the slowest in six years, depressing demand in the world’s commodity supplying countries. Japan had re-entered recession in the third quarter of 2014 after an April rise in the consumption tax, and the rebound, to growth of 1.5% annualized, was a disappointment.

 

But it was the euro zone that attracted most of the attention. The region entered 2015 after growth of barely 1% in 2014, unemployment perched at 11.5% and consumer prices falling. In Greece, on January 26, a new government took power, mandated to ease the terms of its €240 billion bailout and roll back reforms. The reaction of its creditors was uncompromising and the specter again loomed of a euro zone member country being forced out of the single currency with unknowable side effects. But four days earlier the European Central Bank had at last announced a program of quantitative easing, the elixir that despite all else, might drive asset prices higher, judging from the experience of the U.S. and Japan. Monthly purchases of bonds worth €60 billion would and did commence in March 2015. They would continue through September 2016. Furthermore by the end of the period, the gloomy euro zone data seemed to be turning. The unemployment rate edged down to 11.3%. Purchasing managers indices indicated increasingly solid expansion. Falling interest rates and the weaker euro (see below) would be good for business. Increasingly, buy euro zone equities, preferably currency-hedged, sell U.S., was the trade in the news.

 

In U.S. fixed income markets, the Treasury yield curve flattened in the first half of the fiscal year and the Barclays Long-Term U.S.

 

Treasury sub-index returned 6.48%. But it actually lost more than that in an April correction. The Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond index as a whole returned 2.07%, practically identical to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Barclays Aggregate”) of investment grade bonds, which increased 2.06%. The Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond sub-index added 2.35%, beating the 1.52% of the Barclays High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index (not a part of the Barclays Aggregate).

 

U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Index including dividends, gained 4.40% in the six months through April. The consumer discretionary sector was the top performer, returning 11.52%. Two of 10 sectors lost ground; not surprisingly the most serious was energy, down 4.71%. Many commentators expected S&P 500® earnings to start falling soon, depressed by the effect of lower energy prices and of the strong dollar on the value of revenues earned outside the U.S. Others remarked on the supportive effect of continuing high levels of share buybacks, with a value of  $553 billion in 2014, the highest since 2007.

 

In currencies, the dollar advanced against most others in the first half of the fiscal year. The dollar gained 11.59% on the euro, as the prospect and then the reality of euro zone quantitative easing drove down interest rates. The dollar added 4.20% against the pound. The UK has a comparable growth story to the U.S., but an election on May 7 portended another hung parliament and unattractive coalition possibilities. The dollar gained 6.29% against the yen, mostly in November, on an announced increase in monetary easing in Japan and a partial re-allocation into non-yen securities for the giant Government Pension Investment Fund (“GPIF”).

 

In international markets, the MSCI Japan® Index jumped 20.43%, with exporters benefiting from the lower yen and all sectors from the GPIF’s rebalancing into stocks. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index surged 16.46%, eclipsing its 2007 closing high. Quantitative easing, plus the declining euro that went with it, ultimately trumped poor economic data, which seemed to be improving at the end. The MSCI UK® Index added 8.10%, with financials and the consumer sectors making the largest contributions. The 15 largest names in the UK index: multinationals accounting for half of its value only averaged a return of about 4.6%.

Voya Emerging Markets Equity Dividend Fund (“Emerging Markets Equity Dividend” or the “Fund”) seeks total return through a combination of income, capital gains and capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Robert Davis, Nicolas Simar, and Manu Vandenbulck, Portfolio Managers of NNIP Advisors B.V. (“NNIP Advisors”) — the Sub-Adviser.*

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 0.93% compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM (“MSCI EM IndexSM”), which returned 3.92% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed the MSCI EM IndexSM over the reporting period. Monetary easing policies undertaken by central banks in key markets across the world were mainly supportive for growth stocks. Not holding the expensively valued and low dividend-paying internet stocks in China and South Africa hurt stock selection in those countries. Stock picking also detracted in India and Korea. By contrast, contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positioning in Mexico and Colombia and our stock selection in Turkey. The biggest contributor at the stock level was the Chinese construction company Zhejiang Expressway Co., Ltd. The biggest detractor was the South African cement firm Pretoria Portland Cement Co., Ltd. We took profits in several stocks after outperformance left valuations looking stretched. This included Phosagro, Turk Telekom, Moscow Exchange, PZU Group, CEZ Group and China Life Insurance Company. We also exited Commercial Bank of Qatar on adverse changes to capital rules there. We sold Wumart Stores, Inc., believing that intense competition is holding back a turnaround; we also sold Oil and Natural Gas Corp., where we see risks to production guidance.

 

In China, a combination of easing measures, proposed state-owned enterprise reforms and initiatives to encourage mainland investors to buy Hong Kong listed Chinese equities caused the Hang Seng Index to rally sharply. We sold Harbin Electric Co., Ltd. and Zheijiang Expressways Co. Ltd., both of which would likely be beneficiaries of possible industry reform, but where we believe that the euphoria reflected in the share prices exceeded the likely fundamental upside potential. We believe that a more optimistic outlook on China also helped copper prices, and we took profit on Southern Copper Corp. We felt the strong performance of the stock was starting to discount unlikely commodity price and production-volume assumptions. We also exited China Communications Services Corp. after considering the implications of proposed mobile network sharing in China.

We added China Overseas Land and Investment Ltd. and China Resources Land Ltd. Known issues in the Chinese property market present opportunities to buy developers exposed to higher-tier cities where price and volume trends are improving. LG Display was among the additions to our technology sector exposure. In our view, the stock is discounting competition concerns from low-price Chinese LCD-panel makers, but the market is perhaps missing an improved inventory outlook and increasing panel size demand which plays to the strengths of higher-quality manufacturers.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: In many emerging countries, newly elected politicians are trying to push through broad-based, structural reforms. In our view, the prospect of reform has helped several key markets to re-rate and we believe attractive valuations are becoming increasingly difficult to find. In China, despite the strong gains we have seen recently, we believe valuations remain relatively attractive. The Chinese government has clamped down on social issues such as corruption and air pollution and is slowly transforming state-owned enterprises into commercial entities. At the same time, the authorities are working hard to resolve issues in the local banking system and are pushing through financial sector reform to make the country less dependent on traditional bank financing. Lower oil prices are positive for Asia as most countries are net energy importers. This should lead to improving current account balances and improved fiscal accounts. We are cautious on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations region as valuation support is less apparent and at risk from a rising U.S. dollar, interest rates or idiosyncratic country factors.

 

Lower commodity prices and slowing global growth are impacting the outlook in Latin America. Brazil is on a monetary tightening path and is also in the midst of a large corporate corruption scandal. In Mexico, we think government reform and proximity to the U.S. recovery are largely reflected in Mexican valuations. Despite the gloomy outlook, from a bottom-up perspective, we think some dividend opportunities are beginning to emerge in the region. Finally, we continue to be comfortable with not owning the popular internet-related stocks in the emerging markets universe, since their valuations are too high in our opinion and at risk of earnings disappointment.

Voya Global Equity Dividend Fund (“Global Equity Dividend” or the “Fund”) seeks growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary consideration. The Fund is managed by Nicolas Simar, Bruno Springael and Kris Hermie, Portfolio Managers of NNIP Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.*

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 1.98%, compared to the MSCI World IndexSM, which returned 5.09% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed its benchmark due to negative security selection and negative sector allocation effects during the reporting period. Stock selection detracted within the energy, consumer discretionary and materials sectors. Our underweight positioning in consumer discretionary and our overweight in energy further detracted from relative performance. The Fund’s cash position was also a significant detractor from relative results.

 

The most significant detractor in the portfolio was the Canadian integrated oil company Cenovus Energy, Inc. after the company announced an equity offering aimed at shoring up its balance sheet. The raw materials company Freeport-McMoRan, Inc. was also one of the biggest detractors due to weakness in copper prices.

 

The main contribution to relative performance came from our overweight in Europe and underweight in North America. We also gained from our stock selection in the information technology and industrial sectors. At the stock level, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. was a significant contributor. The company, along with other Japanese financial companies, benefited from exposure to Japanese growth and inflation. The truck manufacturer Volvo AB also performed well following strong earnings results and the announcement that the chief executive officer would be replaced.

 

Within the consumer space, we added to toy manufacturer Mattel, Inc. Despite challenges at its Mattel and Fischer Price brands, we believe inventory clean-up and better channel management should help to revive top line growth. We exited our position in the tobacco company Altria Group, which performed well on the back off speculations on a bid on SAB Miller, as Altria Group is a key shareholder. We initiated a position in the casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp. because, despite falling visitor numbers, we think its valuation has become compelling.

We decided to exit Petrofac after a rebound in its share price. The company has above-average visibility but we believe the outlook for oil services firms remains uncertain. With this in mind, we prefer to hold Schlumberger Ltd., which we believe is a higher quality name in the sector. We added the Italian bank Unicredit Group, which trades at significant discount to its peers. We used relative weakness in the market to add to our position in Assicurazioni Gernerali S.p.A. We believe the company still has plenty of room to streamline its business while higher growth prospects should trigger yield normalization and a narrowing of its price to earnings discount versus the sector.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: We remain overweight Europe and are positive about the prospects for European equities. Although official growth forecasts have been increased in the euro zone, we believe there is still significant potential for further recovery. This is because we expect economic growth to accelerate across the region thanks to favorable financing conditions, lower oil prices and a weaker euro. Greece is not out of the woods yet but so far markets outside Greece have been resilient. Deflation remains a worry but the European Central Bank appears to be countering this risk. Earnings estimates have been on an upward revision cycle, driven mainly by cyclicals.

 

We see positive earnings per share revisions in Japan. Valuations have risen a lot due to quantitative easing, however, and it is difficult to find attractive dividend opportunities. There is also much uncertainty regarding the third arrow of Abenomics, which involves structural reform.

 

In the United States, a strong dollar is a headwind for corporate earnings; there are also signs of increasing wage growth, which might put pressure on profit margins. With valuations at relatively high levels, we remain cautious and are underweight the U.S.

Voya Global Natural Resources Fund* (“Global Natural Resources” or the “Fund”) seeks to attain long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Joseph Bassett, CFA, John Bailey and James Swain, Portfolio Managers, of Voya Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of  -4.97% compared to the S&P North American Natural Resources Sector Index which returned -3.40% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: Underperformance for the period was driven by unfavorable stock selection in the diversified metals and mining and materials sectors, primarily within the gold industries. Stock selection within the energy sector, particularly within the oil and gas exploration and production industry, contributed the most to performance.

 

Among the largest individual detractors were overweight positions in Whiting Petroleum Corporation and Halliburton Company, and not owning benchmark stock Baker Hughes Incorporated.

 

Whiting Petroleum, an oil-levered producer, underperformed for the period due to the retraction in the commodities market.

 

Oil-field services provider Halliburton Company underperformed as the company sustained a large loss for the period, during which it announced a headline-grabbing merger with rival Baker Hughes, Inc. Although the proposed $34.6 billion merger would create the world’s number two oil-services provider, Halliburton’s shares sold off on indications it would pay a restructuring charge as exploration and production firms cut production and capital expenditures to salvage profits.

 

Not owning Baker Hughes Incorporated, a supplier of oilfield services, hurt performance. Shares of Baker Hughes advanced on the news of its merger with Halliburton Company, which is expected to close in the second half of 2015.

 

Among the top individual contributors to performance were overweight positions in Newfield Exploration Company and Devon Energy Corporation and not owning benchmark stock National Oilwell Varco, Inc.

 

Our overweight position in Newfield Exploration, an independent energy company, outperformed for the period. The company exceeded investors’ earnings expectations for fourth quarter 2014, thanks to higher than expected production and lower than expected operating costs. Furthermore, management released strong initial earnings guidance for 2015.

Oil and gas production company Devon Energy outperformed for the period after exceeding earnings expectations for several quarters. A strong outlook for an increase in oil production also helped the stock.

 

Not owning benchmark stock National Oilwell Varco benefited relative results. Despite projecting strong revenue and margin growth for the long-term, the company announced that its stock will face headwinds over the next two to three years due to a forecasted slowdown in offshore orders and declines in onshore equipment orders.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: The ability to find new and abundant sources of fossil fuels has been providing a tailwind for U.S. economic growth, jobs and manufacturing for several years. Given the increased supply of oil and, to a lesser degree, moderating demand as a result of slower economic growth, a price drop was inevitable. And with a 30-year average price of around $42/barrel, oil’s current level of  $58/barrel certainly looks more realistic to us than the $100/barrel that was the norm before the recent plunge. While low oil has been getting a bad rap this year thanks to its impact on large energy sector companies, cheaper energy prices are an overall positive for consumers and their future spending.

 

We continue to monitor changes occurring globally, actions at central banks and overall economic data. Our portfolio positioning has not changed significantly. We seek to remain nimble and continue to focus on quality companies, such as those that, in our opinion, have strong managements, solid balance sheets and good cash flow generation capabilities. Going forward, we believe the Fund is well positioned considering our view that investors will continue to focus on companies’ fundamentals due to ongoing economic uncertainty.

Voya International Core Fund (“International Core” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is managed by Nicolas M. Choumenkovitch and Tara Connolly Stilwell, CFA, Portfolio Managers, of Wellington Management Company, LLP (“Wellington”) — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 6.68% compared to the MSCI EAFE® Index and the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) IndexSM (“MSCI ACWI ex-USSM”), which returned 6.81% and 5.56%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: Global equities continued their march higher during the six month period ended April 30, 2015, though there was no shortage of headlines for investors to fret over: Ebola fears escalated in the fall, Japan’s economy returned to modest growth after two quarters of economic contraction, and manufacturing data from China and Japan disappointed. Europe was a bright spot during the first quarter of the year due to further accommo-dative monetary policy and encouraging economic data, including positive trends in manufacturing and exports. European economic sentiment improved as the European Central Bank over-delivered on already-high expectations with its bold announcement of a €1.14 trillion open-ended sovereign quantitative easing program to combat record-low inflation and stimulate growth. However, fears about Greece’s future in the European Union resurfaced amid uncertainty about the disbursement of more bailout aid. U.S. stocks lagged the broader market as some market participants voiced concerns about potential headwinds such as valuations, near-term U.S. Federal Reserve tightening and the relatively strong U.S. dollar’s impact on exports.

 

The Fund outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex-USSM during the reporting period, driven by positive stock selection and sector allocation decisions. Strong stock selection in the financials, consumer discretionary, and industrials sectors contributed positively to relative performance. This was partially offset by weak benchmark-relative stock selection in the information technology and energy sectors. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up stock selection process, was also additive, led by an overweight to health care. Additionally, the Fund’s marginal cash position in an upward-trending market partially offset positive relative performance.

From a regional perspective, the Fund benefited from positive stock selection within Europe ex-UK and an underweight allocation to and security selection within Developed Pacific ex-Japan. Partially offsetting positive relative results was weaker stock selection within Emerging Markets.

 

Top contributors to relative performance included Hong Kong Exchanges, one of the largest stock exchanges in Asia, Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai, and Ireland-based diversified building materials company CRH. Top detractors from relative performance included Chinese search engine Baidu, China-based online commerce company Alibaba, as well as Canada-based integrated oil company Imperial Oil.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: We look for opportunities in regions and sectors that we believe are undervalued. For companies whose returns have improved and are now reflected in their stock prices, we look for incremental improvements in returns among those companies that we believe benefit from cyclical tailwinds or can sustain strong returns for longer than generally expected. We continue to strive to maintain a good balance in the Fund of companies with improving returns and companies with sustainable returns to help mitigate the impact of shifts in economic and/or industry cycles.

 

At the end of the period, the Fund was most overweight the heath care, consumer discretionary, and financial sectors, and most underweight the materials, energy, and industrials sectors. Regionally, the Fund ended the period overweight Europe ex. UK and Japan and underweight Emerging Markets, Pacific Developed ex Japan, UK, and North America.

Voya Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity Fund (“Emerging Markets Equity” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by two sub-advisers — J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMorgan”) and Delaware Investment Fund Advisers (“Delaware”) (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). Each manages a portion (“Sleeve”) of the Fund’s assets that is allocated to the Sub-Adviser. The following individuals are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of their respective Sleeve: George Iwanicki Jr. and Anuj Arora, Portfolio Managers, of the Sleeve that is managed by JPMorgan, and Liu-Er Chen, CFA, Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, Emerging Markets and Healthcare, of the Sleeve that is managed by Delaware.

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of  -1.16%, compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM (“MSCI EM IndexSM”), which returned 3.92% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: J.P. Morgan Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the MSCI EM IndexSM by approximately 18 basis points (0.18%) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2015.

 

The key drivers of relative performance from a country positioning perspective were overweight positions in China and underweight positions in Mexico and Malaysia. In China, the long-standing and well-publicized economic slowdown finally prompted the People’s Bank of China to ease credit conditions and signal its commitment to continue doing so until growth stabilizes. This policy shift came on the heels of the recently established Shanghai-Hong Kong Connect facility and new rules allowing domestic mutual funds to own more Hong Kong-listed shares. The combination helped the recent fervour in A-shares to spread to the H-share market. Banks and state-owned enterprises (“SOEs”) were the leaders of the move—the former on the boost in liquidity, and the latter on speculation that SOE reform will lead to consolidation that rescues currently unprofitable industries and companies. The Sleeve has a long-standing underweight in Mexican and Malaysian equities, as they have high valuation and low momentum.

Stock selection detracted from relative performance over the six-month period, driven largely by Brazil. The largest single-stock detractor was a position in Kroton Educacional, a private sector provider of tertiary education in Brazil and beneficiary of government aid to students. This financial aid program is under threat as the new finance team looks to stabilize public finances — a negative for the stock, but a long-term positive for the country, in our view.

 

Delaware Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the MSCI EM IndexSM by approximately 878 basis points (8.78%) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Among countries, our underweight positions in Colombia, Poland, Greece, United Arab Emirates, and Malaysia contributed to relative performance as all of these markets underperformed. In Korea, shares of Lotte Chilsung Beverage outperformed due to strong sales in its beer business. In Israel, Teva Pharmaceutical gained on speculation that it was negotiating a large accretive acquisition.

 

In contrast, China, Brazil, and Russia detracted the most from performance. In China, our significant underweight in the financials sector detracted from performance as bank, insurance, and brokerage stocks all rallied in response to the central bank’s interest rate cut in November and rising domestic A-share stock market. In the technology sector, our underweight position in Tencent detracted from relative performance as the market became more positive about prospects for mobile ad monetization. Our overweight position in Baidu was unfavorable after the company reported weaker than expected earnings

results in January. In Brazil, our large overweight position was unfavorable in terms of asset allocation, while stock selection was also negative. In particular, shares of mobile operator Tim Participacoes declined after investors assigned a smaller possibility for sector consolidation in Brazil. Meanwhile, competitor Telefonica’s plan to raise capital dampened valuation in the sector. Shares of online retailer B2W declined due to concerns about the weak Brazilian economy and depreciation of the real. In Russia, the ruble’s steep depreciation versus the US dollar contributed to the underperformance of domestically oriented companies including Yandex, Sberbank, Mobile Telesystems, Qiwi, and Megafon. Declining oil prices weighed on Rosneft’s share price.

 

Among sectors, our underweight stance in the utilities sector contributed to relative performance. In contrast, the financials and technology sectors detracted most from performance.

 

Current Strategy & Outlook: J.P. Morgan Sleeve — Emerging market (“EM”) equities posted their strongest month in dollar terms in more than three years, outperforming the U.S. and EAFE markets. The magnitude of the move and the drivers behind it reminded investors what can happen when fundamental weakness and negative sentiment persist for long periods: policymakers can react with supportive measures, and markets can react with large price moves. Investors should remember that, beyond these short-term market moves, a recovery in earnings expectations is key to building confidence that emerging markets have bottomed in absolute and relative terms. We are encouraged by the support for growth in China and the stabilization of EM currencies, and we believe earnings expectations may have finally caught up with reality.

 

Delaware Sleeve — We believe that the outlook for emerging markets appears mixed and volatile. We see favorable valuations and growth opportunities in selective segments of the market. Challenges from politics, oil prices, and monetary policy may require investors to be patient, but they do not derail our long-term fundamental conviction in the sustainability of these franchises. On the other hand, we have concerns about excessive exuberance and optimism in other areas of the market such as India and Southeast Asia, and we believe that a disciplined and selective approach to investing is warranted. Over the course of this year, we expect some stabilization in the key sources of recent market volatility such as oil prices and monetary policy, and as a result, we are hopeful for a market environment that is more conducive to our bottom-up, fundamentally-driven investment approach.

Voya Multi-Manager International Equity Fund (“Multi-Manager International Equity” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s assets are managed by four sub-advisers — Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (“Baillie Gifford”), Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Lazard”), J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMorgan”), and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“TRPA”) (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). Each manages a portion (“Sleeve”) of the Fund’s assets that is allocated to the Sub-Adviser. The following individuals are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of their respective Sleeve: Gerard Callahan, Iain Campbell, Sophie Earnshaw, CFA, Joe Faraday, CFA, Moritz Sitte and Tom Walsh Portfolio Managers of the Sleeve that is managed by Baillie Gifford*; Gerd Woort-Menker, CFA, Portfolio Manager of the Sleeve that is managed by JPMorgan; Michael G. Fry, Michael Powers, Michael A. Bennett, Kevin Matthews, and John Reinsberg, Portfolio Managers of the Sleeve that is managed by Lazard and Richard N. Clattenburg, CFA, Portfolio Manager of the Sleeve that is managed by TRPA.

 

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class I shares provided a total return of 5.96% compared to the MSCI EAFE® Index (“MSCI EAFE”) and the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) IndexSM (“MSCI ACWI ex-USSM”), which returned 6.81% and 5.56%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: JPMorgan Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the MSCI EAFE® by approximately 261 basis points (2.61%) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Stock selection in health care and basic industries detracted, while stock selection in banks and technology-hardware contributed. Regionally, stock selection in Europe, including the U.K., and an allocation to Canada had a negative impact, while an allocation to emerging markets and an underweight allocation to the Pacific Rim contributed to performance.

 

At the individual stock level, Hitachi, the Japanese industrial cyclical company, was the largest stock detractor in the period after reporting disappointing third-quarter results. Weak yen benefits were wiped out by worse-than-expected demand for products/services used by clients in the telecommunication services and oil and gas segments, and additional costs in the infrastructure business. Management also lowered its guidance expectations as it sees lower demand in telecommunication services and oil and gas as likely to persist. We reduced our position following these disappointing results and guidance, along with concerns by our research analyst that cost overruns at the parent company level may hold back profits near term.

On the upside, shares of Sony, the Japanese consumer electronics company, rose as results topped market expectations. Management revised up its full-year plan from a ¥40.0 billion loss to a ¥20.0 billion profit, restructuring costs were lower than expected, and all electronics categories posted higher profits than expected. Restructuring measures implemented in February 2014 have started to pay off and the devices business continued to see strong earnings and growth.

 

Baillie Gifford Sleeve — The Sleeve outperformed the MSCI EAFE® by approximately 115 basis points (1.15%) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. One of the main contributors was Rakuten, the Japanese online marketplace business. This stemmed from encouraging operating results from the company. We believe that Rakuten’s dominant position in Japan leaves it well placed to continue to grow as online shopping expands. The company is also investing in other nascent forms of ecommerce, which could create significant value for shareholders in the future. We continue to monitor the company’s use of capital closely.

 

The UK listed online fashion retailer ASOS was also a top contributor, following a difficult period for the company. The business is expanding beyond the UK and is now employing more sophisticated regional pricing as well as continuing its investment in overseas distribution. We view both of these developments as positive, as we believe they should help the company to continue its international expansion.

 

The largest single detractor from performance was another online business, Chinese search engine Baidu. The business reported lower than expected profits during the period, after a period of slower consumer spending and an increase in marketing spending by the company. Looking beyond these results, we were interested to note that Baidu’s mobile search revenue surpassed its revenue from PCs for the first time. The company appears to have made the transition to mobile devices successfully and it continues to expand the range of services it offers to consumers. More generally, performance benefited from strong stock selection in the financials, staples and energy sectors, which more than overcame unfavorable selection in technology and industrials. A zero weighting in the weak utilities sector was also an advantage.

 

TRPA Sleeve — The Sleeve outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex-USSM by approximately 139 basis points (1.39%) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Stock selection in the industrials and business services sector drove relative outperformance. Shares of Experian, the leading global provider of credit information, rose after several periods of solid, albeit unremarkable results. Although there have been some concerns that the company would be challenged by its exposure to Brazil and U.S. consumer headwinds, we believe growth is poised to accelerate for the company and are impressed with the firm’s management and levels of free cash flow. An overweight to consumer discretionary names also aided relative returns. Investors favored shares of Dutch cable company Altice following news that it would acquire a Portuguese telecommunications company, which we believe will drive cash flow growth for the firm. Management has a strong track record of improving operating efficiencies and stripping out excess costs to generate cash flows. We believe

Altice will also acquire good assets in an improving market while likely selling some minor cable TV assets at an attractive valuation. Conversely, holdings in telecommunication services detracted from relative results. Brazilian wireless telecommunications provider Tim Participacoes declined after it became clear that the hoped-for acquisition of Oi, which we believe would be a beneficial consolidation within the industry, would not take place in the near future. The continued depreciation of the Brazilian real also weighed on shares as Brazilian equities struggled broadly.

 

Regionally, stock selection in developed Europe contributed the most to relative performance. Conversely, holdings in the U.S. detracted from relative results.

 

The Sleeve held currency forwards in Oct 2014, and equity rights at various points in the 6 month period. The currency forwards generated a net derivative exposure equal to approximately 1% of net assets and the equity rights had minimal impact on net exposure. As of 04/30/2015, the account has no derivative holdings. The estimated return impact from employing currency forwards was 1 bp and a negligible return impact from rights for reporting period.

 

Lazard Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the MSCI EAFE® by approximately 6 basis points (0.06%) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Stock selection in the information technology sector was additive to relative returns as shares of Netherlands based NXP Semiconductor rallied on news that the company would acquire Texas-based competitor Freescale. The deal would bolster the combined company’s position as the largest supplier in the automotive industry, which is experiencing healthy growth as technology assumes a larger role in automobile components. In the industrials sector, shares of Spanish airport operator Aena surged after its initial public offering as the Spanish economic recovery and lower oil prices have driven both domestic and international travel. Stock selection in the energy sector positively drove relative returns as shares of UK based energy company BG Group soared, as competitor Royal Dutch Shell announced a bid for the company at a 50% premium. In contrast, stock selection in the telecom services sector detracted from relative returns as shares of Turkish mobile phone operator Turkcel declined along with the Turkish equity market over political concerns, while shares of Japanese telecom company Softbank suffered from lower profit guidance at its US subsidiary Sprint. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector was dilutive to relative returns as shares of Brazilian private education company Estacio declined in January after the government made an unexpected, negative change to its student loan program. The stock later somewhat recovered on earnings that highlighted higher average tuition fees and strong performance in the distance learning segment.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: JPMorgan Sleeve — The global recovery continues. Economic figures from the U.S. in 2015 have so far been disappointing, but we view this weakness largely as temporary and attributable to transitory factors, such as seasonality, weather and port strikes on the West Coast. Growth in Europe and Japan is expected to strengthen but, for the time being, further improvements will depend on policy stimuli. The threat of deflation, however, seems to be receding.

 

The Sleeve remains broadly diversified as we continue to focus on utilizing our research capabilities to identify the most attractive ‘value’ names within each sector.

 

Baillie Gifford Sleeve — We concentrate on finding company-specific opportunities to invest in, and believe that having a diversified group of high quality, growing businesses, should enable us to deliver attractive long term returns. We are encouraged by the reasonable start in 2015, with what we view as positive signs of recovery in Europe and greater traction in Japan’s Abenomics reforms. We think there are also areas of concern: instability in Ukraine and across the Middle East, and Greece’s negotiations with creditors. We continue to find lots of compelling opportunities for investigation, believe that the Fund contains a selection of growing companies, and are hopeful for the Fund’s long term potential.

 

TRPA Sleeve — We are seeing international equity markets broaden out in terms of the number of markets that are doing well. But the rosier markets have meant that new ideas continue to prove elusive in many areas, although pockets of opportunities do still exist. In our opinion, financials still look attractive as some European stocks, particularly in the U.K., are still undervalued despite encouraging long term growth prospects. Outside Europe, we believe that financials in oil-levered economies, such as Canada, have been unfairly discounted and have found opportunities there. Consumer discretionary remains mixed, as auto and luxury-related names’ valuations are higher, while media and cable names, for example, continue to look attractive. We think success in consumer discretionary will be very stock specific going forward. We believe energy and materials look attractive, although we are most interested in owning those higher quality names that we think stand to grow earnings over the next several years. As always, we remain focused on constructing the Sleeve on a stock-by-stock basis, using a top-down overlay as a complement to the bottom-up stock selection process.

 

Lazard Sleeve — We believe corporate profitability and balance sheets are still in good shape, and if profitability can be sustained in an environment of gently improving growth in developed markets, then equities may still offer attractive valuations compared to the low returns available in other asset markets. However, share prices today appear dependent on both some level of economic recovery and a continuation of currently very-low interest rates. This is dangerous, in our view, as over the medium term we believe it is an unlikely combination. The portfolio teams continue to focus on stock selection, seeking to find stocks with sustainably high or improving returns trading at what we believe are attractive valuations.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)

 

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

 

The Examples are based on an investment of  $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015. Each Fund’s expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.

 

Actual Expenses

 

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

 

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

Financial Highlights (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

(1)Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions, if any, at net asset value and excluding the deduction of sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges, if applicable. Total return for periods less than one year is not annualized.

 

(2)Annualized for periods less than one year.

 

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

 

(4)Commencement of operations.

 

(a)Excluding a distribution payment from settlement of a regulatory matter during the year ended October 31, 2012, total return for Global Natural Resources would have been (5.14)%, (4.67)% and (4.90)% on Classes A, I and W, respectively.

 

Calculated using average number of shares outstanding throughout the period.

 

*Amount is less than $0.005 or 0.005% or more than $(0.005) or (0.005)%.

 

Impact of waiving the advisory fee for the ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund holding has less than 0.005% impact on the expense ratio and net investment income or loss ratio.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Voya Mutual Funds (“VMF” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on December 18, 1992 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. There are fifteen separate active investment series, six of which are included in this report (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Voya Emerging Markets Equity Dividend Fund (“Emerging Markets Equity Dividend”), Voya Global Equity Dividend Fund (“Global Equity Dividend”), Voya Global Natural Resources Fund (“Global Natural Resources”), Voya International Core Fund (“International Core”), Voya Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity Fund (“Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity”) and Voya Multi-Manager International Equity Fund (“Multi-Manager International Equity”). Each Fund (except Global Natural Resources) is a diversified series of the Trust. Global Natural Resources is a non-diversified series of the Trust.

 

On May 22, 2015, Global Natural Resources merged into Voya Global Value Advantage Fund, which is not included in this report.

 

Each Fund offers at least one or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class O, Class R and Class W. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees, and transfer agent fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of a fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from a fund pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a fund or a class are charged directly to that fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable.

 

Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are closed to new investors and additional investments from existing shareholders, except in connection with the reinvestment of any distributions and permitted exchanges.

 

Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company,

serves as the Investment Adviser to the Funds. Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the sub-adviser to Global Natural Resources. Voya Funds Services, LLC (“VFS” or the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the Administrator to the Funds. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Funds.

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

A. Security Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Fund is determined each business day as of the close of regular trading (“Market Close”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless otherwise designated by the NYSE) each day on which the NYSE is open for trading. The Funds are open for business every day the NYSE is open. Fund shares will not be priced on days when the NYSE is closed. The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding.

 

Assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the normal trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask price on that day. Bank loans are valued at the average of the averages between the bid and ask prices provided to an independent loan pricing service by brokers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

When a market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, a Fund will determine a fair value for the relevant asset in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (“Board”). Such procedures provide, for example, that: (a) Debt obligations are valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, benchmark yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity individual trading characteristics and other market data; (b) Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices provided by independent pricing services or market makers; (c) Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source using an industry accepted model, such as Black-Scholes; (d) Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued using a price provided by the central counterparty clearinghouse; (e) Over-the-counter swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (f) Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing current and forward rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Such prices from the third party pricing service are for specific settlement periods and each Fund’s forward foreign currency contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent period reported by the independent pricing service and (g) Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by brokers.

 

The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which a Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

 

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and believed to be reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. An independent pricing service determines the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be valued by the independent pricing service

using pricing models designed to estimate likely changes in the values of those securities between the times in which the trading in those securities is substantially completed and the close of the NYSE. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining the value of such securities and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures.

 

All other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable (or if the above fair valuation methods are unavailable or determined to be unreliable) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board following procedures approved by the Board. Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in a Fund.

 

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

 

The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the “Pricing Committee” as established by the Funds’ Administrator. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are

30
 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Investment Adviser or sub-adviser, when determining the fair value of the security. In the event that a security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods established by the Board, the fair value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee. When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine its NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Pricing Committee believes accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks of investing in those securities valued in good faith at fair value nor can it be assured a Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

 

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Pricing Committee may compare prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and traded prices to the prior or current day prices and the Pricing Committee challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the independent pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued in good faith at fair value, the Pricing Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuation on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

 

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. The beginning of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

 

For the period ended April 30, 2015, there have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.

 

B. Security 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, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.

C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.

 

Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

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

 

(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 the end of the day, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities that 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 taxes recorded on a Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid, and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.

 

D. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds’ investment strategies permit them to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, purchased options, written options, and swaps. In doing so, the Funds will employ

31
 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly, and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.

 

Market Risk Factors. In pursuit of their investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risk factors:

 

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the U.S. dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the U.S. dollar depreciates against the currency.

 

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

 

The use of these strategies involves certain special risks, including a possible imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price movements of derivative instruments and price movements of related investments. While some strategies involving derivative instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in related investments or otherwise, due to the possible inability of the Funds to purchase or sell a portfolio security at a time that otherwise would be favorable or the possible need to sell a portfolio security at a disadvantageous time because the Funds are required to maintain asset coverage or offsetting positions in connection with transactions in derivative instruments. Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in

derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the following notes.

 

Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. The Funds’ derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Funds intend to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that they believe to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, the Funds generally enter into master netting arrangements, established within the Funds’ International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by the Funds and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.

 

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

 

As of April 30, 2015, the maximum amount of loss that Multi-Manager International Equity would incur if the counterparty to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $201,543 which represents the unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency contracts. No cash collateral was pledged by any counterparty to the Fund as of April 30, 2015.

 

The Funds have credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover

32
 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

their exposure from the Funds. Credit related contingent features are established between the Funds and their derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Funds will not fulfill their payment obligations to their counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in a Fund’s NAV, which could cause a Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within the Funds Master Agreements.

 

Multi-Manager International Equity had a liability position of  $210,990 on forward foreign currency contracts with credit related contingent features. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of April 30, 2015, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. The Fund did not post any cash collateral as of April 30, 2015.

 

E. Forward Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar, generally in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or may use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

During the period ended April 30, 2015, Multi-Manager International Equity had an average contract amount on forward foreign currency contracts to buy and sell of $14,751,330 and $12,023,415, respectively. Multi-Manager International Equity used forward foreign currency contracts primarily to protect its non-U.S. dollar denominated holdings from adverse currency movements. Please refer to the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contracts at April 30, 2015 for Multi-Manager International Equity.

 

Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. Each Fund intends to limit its use of futures contracts and futures options to “bona fide hedging” transactions, as such term is defined in applicable regulations, interpretations and practice. A futures contract

obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

 

Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the period ended April 30, 2015, Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity and Multi-Manager International Equity had purchased futures contracts on equity indices to “equitize” cash. Futures contracts are purchased to provide immediate market exposure proportionate to the size of the Fund’s respective cash flows and residual cash balances in order to decrease potential tracking error if the cash remained uninvested in the market. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

 

During the period ended April 30, 2015, Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity and Multi-Manager International Equity had an average notional value of  $2,188,450 and $1,085,996, respectively, on futures contracts purchased. Please refer to the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for Multi-Manager International Equity for open futures contracts at April 30, 2015. There were no open futures contracts for Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity at April 30, 2015.

 

F. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on ex-dividend date. Each Fund declares and pays dividends and capital gains, if any, annually (except, Global Equity Dividend, which pays dividends, if any, quarterly). The Funds may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

33
 

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP for investment companies.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

I. Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan securities representing up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, a Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to a Fund in the event a Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. Each Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) provides each Fund indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund.

 

J. Restricted Securities. Each Fund may invest in restricted securities which include those sold under

 

Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“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.

 

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

(1)Effective close of business on November 7, 2014, advisory fee breakpoints were incorporated.

 

The Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fee for Multi-Manager International Equity. The waiver is calculated as 50% of the difference between the former sub-advisory fee rate minus the new sub-advisory fee rate. This agreement will renew if the Investment Adviser elects to renew it. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board. For the period ended April 30, 2015, the Investment Adviser waived $43,019 in advisory fees for Multi-Manager International Equity.

 

Each Fund has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with each sub-adviser. These sub-advisers provide investment advice for the various Funds and are paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of the respective Funds. Subject to such policies as the Board or Investment Adviser may determine, the sub-adviser(s) manage each respective Fund’s assets in accordance with that Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations. The sub-adviser of each Fund is as follows (*denotes a related party sub-adviser):

The Funds have entered into an administrative agreement (“Administrative Agreement”) with the Administrator. The Administrator provides certain administrative and shareholder services necessary for each’s Fund’s operations and is responsible for the supervision of other

 

service providers. For its services, the Administrator is entitled to receive from each Fund a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.

 

Please see Note 17 — Subsequent Events on the Combination of the former Management Agreement and Administrative Agreement.

 

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

 

Each share class of the Funds, except Class I and Class W, has a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby the Distributor is reimbursed or compensated (depending on the class of shares) by the Funds for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the 12b-1 Plans, each class of shares of a Fund pays the Distributor a Distribution and/or Service Fee based on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

 

   Class A   Class B   Class C   Class O   Class R 
Emerging Markets Equity Dividend   0.25%   1.00%   1.00%   0.25%   N/A

Control is defined by the 1940 Act as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. The 1940 Act defines affiliates to include companies that are under common control. Therefore, if certain Funds have a common owner that owns over 25% of the outstanding securities of the Funds, they may be deemed to be affiliates of each other. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Funds.

 

The Investment Adviser may request that the Funds’ portfolio managers use their best efforts (subject to obtaining best execution of each transaction) to allocate a Fund’s equity security transactions through certain designated broker-dealers. The designated broker-dealer, in turn, will reimburse a portion of the brokerage commissions to pay certain expenses of that Fund. Any

 

amounts credited to the Funds are reflected as brokerage commission recapture on the Statements of Operations.

 

The Funds have adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which allows eligible non-affiliated trustees, as described in the Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Funds. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). The Funds purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, resulting in a Fund 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 trustees’ fees under the Plan will not affect net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Funds’ assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

NOTE 11 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

 

All mutual funds involve risk — some more than others — and there is always the chance that you could lose money or not earn as much as you hope. A Fund’s risk profile is largely a factor of the principal securities in which it invests and investment techniques that it uses. For more information regarding the types of securities and investment techniques that may be used by the Funds and their corresponding risks, see each Fund’s most recent Prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information.

 

Investment by Funds-of-Funds (International Core, Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity, and Multi-Manager International Equity). Certain Funds’ shares may be purchased by other investment companies. In some cases, a Fund may experience large inflows or redemptions due to allocations or rebalancings. While it is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions over time, there could be adverse effects on portfolio management. The Investment Adviser will monitor transactions by each Fund and will attempt to minimize any adverse effects on the Funds as a result of these

transactions. So long as a Fund accepts investments by other investment companies, it will not purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or under the terms of an exemptive order granted by the SEC.

 

Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets Risk (All Funds). Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which the Funds may invest are denominated in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as changes vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar from movements in currency, and changes in security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the Funds’ investments. Foreign investment risks typically are greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets.

 

Non-Diversified (Global Natural Resources). The Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act, which means that it is not limited by the 1940 Act in the proportion of assets that it may invest in the obligations of a single issuer. Declines in the value of that single company can significantly impact the value of the Fund. The investment of a large percentage of the Fund’s assets in the securities of a small number of issuers may cause the Fund’s share price to fluctuate more than that of a diversified investment company. Conversely, even though classified as non-diversified, the Fund may actually maintain a portfolio that is diversified with a large number of issuers. In such an event, a Fund would benefit less from appreciation in a single corporate issuer than if it had greater exposure to that issuer.

 

NOTE 12 — SECURITIES LENDING

 

Under a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY, the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is

 

delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Agreement with BNY. The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides the Funds indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements.

 

The cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements that are collateralized at 102% with securities issued or fully guaranteed by the United States Treasury; United States government or any agency, instrumentality or authority of the United States government. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Summary Portfolio of Investments under Securities Lending Collateral.

 

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

 

The following tables represent a summary of each respective Fund’s securities lending agreements by counterparty which are subject to offset under the Agreement as of April 30, 2015:

NOTE 13 — 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 U.S. GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.

 

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

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

 

   Six Months Ended April 30, 2015    Year Ended October 31, 2014

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the capital loss carryforwards which may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes as of October 31, 2014 are detailed below. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) provides an unlimited carryforward period for newly generated capital losses. Under the Act, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Funds’ pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses are required to be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards.

NOTE 13 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (continued)

 

The Funds’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2009.

 

As of April 30, 2015, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue.

 

NOTE 14 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF VOYA FINANCIAL’S MUTUAL FUNDS

 

On July 20, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission” or “SEC”) entered into a settlement of an administrative proceeding against CIBC World Markets Corp. and Canadian Imperial Holdings Inc. (collectively “Respondents”). As part of the settlement, the Respondents have established the Distribution Fund (“Fund”) for the benefit of shareholders who may have been affected by the market timing activity in certain mutual funds where such trading was found to have been facilitated by the Respondents, as described in the order. The Fund is comprised of disgorgement in the amount of $125 million which was paid by the Respondents. The dollar amount available for distribution to mutual funds and shareholders of affected mutual funds (“Distributable Amount”) includes the original $125 million plus interest earned by the Fund.

 

On December 5, 2011, the SEC issued an order approving the proposed plan of distribution. On December 8, 2011 and December 4, 2011, in connection with this settlement, the following Fund received:

 

Global Natural Resources  72,582 

 

NOTE 15 — REORGANIZATIONS

 

On November 21, 2014, Global Equity Dividend (“Acquiring Fund”) acquired all of the net assets of Voya Global Opportunities Fund (“Acquired Fund”), an open-end investment company in a tax-free reorganization in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund on November 6, 2014. The purposes of the transaction were to combine two funds with comparable management and to lower the net expense ratio for shareholders of the Acquired Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2014, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Acquiring Fund, the Acquiring Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the period ended April 30, 2015, are as follows:

 

Net investment income  $855,039 
      
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments  $918,626 
      
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations  $1,773,665 

 

Because the combined investment funds have been managed as a single integrated fund since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s statement of operations since November 21, 2014. Net assets and unrealized appreciation or depreciation as of the reorganization date were as follows:

The net assets of the Acquiring Fund after the acquisition were $107,171,010.

 

NOTE 16 — RESTRUCTURING PLAN

 

Prior to May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”). In October 2009, ING Groep submitted a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) to the European Commission in order to receive approval for state aid granted to ING Groep by the Kingdom of the Netherlands in November 2008 and March 2009. To receive approval for this state aid, ING Groep was required to divest its insurance and investment management businesses, including Voya Financial, Inc. (formerly, ING U.S., Inc.), before the end of 2013. In November 2012, the Restructuring Plan was amended to permit ING Groep additional time to complete the divestment. Pursuant to the amended Restructuring Plan, ING Groep was required to divest at least 25% of Voya Financial, Inc. by the end of 2013 and more than 50% by the end of 2014, and was

 

42
 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

NOTE 16 — RESTRUCTURING PLAN (continued)

 

required to divest its remaining interest by the end of 2016 (such divestment, the “Separation Plan”).

 

In May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. conducted an initial public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”). In October 2013, March 2014, and September 2014, ING Groep divested additional shares in several secondary offerings of common stock of Voya Financial, Inc. and concurrent share repurchases by Voya Financial, Inc. These transactions reduced ING Groep’s ownership interest in Voya Financial, Inc. to 32%. Voya Financial, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from these offerings.

 

In November 2014, through an additional secondary offering and the concurrent repurchase of shares by Voya Financial, Inc., ING Groep further reduced its interest in Voya Financial, Inc. below 25% to approximately 19% (the “November 2014 Offering”). The November 2014 Offering was deemed by the Investment Adviser to be a change of control (the “Change of Control”), which resulted in the automatic termination of the existing investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements under which the Investment Adviser and sub-advisers provide services to the Funds. In anticipation of this termination, and in order to ensure that the existing investment advisory and sub-advisory services could continue uninterrupted, in 2013 the Board approved new advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Funds, as applicable, in connection with the IPO. In addition, in 2013, shareholders of each Fund approved new investment advisory and affiliated sub-advisory agreements prompted by the IPO, as well as any future advisory and affiliated sub-advisory agreements prompted by the Separation Plan that are approved by the Board and that have terms not materially different from the current agreements. This meant that shareholders would not have another opportunity to vote on a new agreement with the Investment Adviser or a current affiliated sub-adviser even upon a change of control prompted by the Separation Plan, as long as no single person or group of persons acting together gains “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Voya Financial, Inc.

 

On November 18, 2014, in response to the Change of Control, the Board, at an in-person meeting, approved new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At that meeting, the Investment Adviser represented that the new investment advisory and affiliated sub-advisory agreements approved by the Board were not materially different from the agreements approved by shareholders in 2013 and no single person or group of persons acting together was expected to gain “control” (as defined in the

 

1940 Act) of Voya Financial, Inc. As a result, shareholders of the Funds will not be asked to vote again on the new agreements with the Investment Adviser and affiliated sub-advisers.

 

In March 2015, ING Groep divested the remainder of its interest in Voya Financial, Inc. through a secondary offering of Voya Financial, Inc.’s common stock of and a concurrent share repurchase by Voya Financial, Inc. Voya Financial, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from these transactions.

 

Sub-adviser (Emerging Markets Equity Dividend and Global Equity Dividend)

 

NNIP Advisors B.V. (“NNIP Advisors”) is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of NN Group N.V. (“NN Group”) and NN Group is a majority-owned subsidiary of ING Groep. In connection with the Restructuring Plan discussed above, ING Groep is required to divest more than 50% of its shares in NN Group before December 31, 2015 and the remaining interest before December 31, 2016. In July 2014, ING Groep settled the initial public offering of NN Group. ING Groep has stated that it intends to divest its remaining stake in NN Group in an orderly manner and ultimately by the end of 2016.

 

It is anticipated that one or more of the transactions to divest NN Group constitute a transfer of a controlling interest in NN Group, resulting in an “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the existing sub-advisory agreements under which NNIP Advisors provides services to the Funds for which NNIP Advisors serves as sub-adviser. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, these sub-advisory agreements would automatically terminate upon their assignment. In order to ensure that the existing sub-advisory services can continue uninterrupted, the Board approved new sub-advisory agreements for the Funds in anticipation of the divestment. Shareholders of the Funds for which NNIP Advisors serves as a sub-adviser approved these new investment sub-advisory agreements. This approval also included approval of any future sub-advisory agreements prompted by the divestment that are approved by the Board and whose terms are not materially different from the current agreements. This means that shareholders of these Funds may not have another opportunity to vote on a new agreement with NNIP Advisors even if NNIP Advisors undergoes a change of control pursuant to ING Groep’s divestment of NN Group, as long as no single person or group of persons acting together gains “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of NN Group.

Reorganization: On May 5, 2015, shareholders of Global Natural Resources approved the reorganization of Global Natural Resources with and into Voya Global Value Advantage Fund, which is not included in this report. The reorganization occurred on May 22, 2015.

 

Line of Credit: Effective May 22, 2015, the funds to which the Credit Agreement is available will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears.

 

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

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

#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.

^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.

(1)For the period ended April 30, 2015, as a result of the fair value pricing procedures for international equities utilized by the Fund, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the year. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period. At April 30, 2015, securities valued at $425,915 and $11,983,795 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and Level 2 to Level 1, respectively, within the fair value hierarchy.

 

^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.

 

The effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations for the period ended April 30, 2015 was as follows:

 

Amount of Realized Gain or (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income

Voya Multi-Manager SUMMARY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS
International Equity Fund as of April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) (continued)

  

 

 

(1)For the period ended April 30, 2015, as a result of the fair value pricing procedures for international equities utilized by the Fund, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the year. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period. At April 30, 2015, securities valued at $4,102,508 and $5,515,922 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and Level 2 to Level 1, respectively, within the fair value hierarchy.

 

^See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

 

+Other Financial Instruments are derivatives not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments and may include open forward foreign currency contracts, futures, centrally cleared swaps, OTC swaps and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts, futures and centrally cleared swaps are valued at the unrealized gain (loss) on the instrument. OTC swaps and written options are valued at the fair value of the instrument.

 

#The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the 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.

 

At April 30, 2015, the following forward foreign currency contracts were outstanding for Voya Multi-Manager International Equity Fund:

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)

 

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS IN CONNECTION WITH CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENT

 

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides that, when Voya Emerging Markets Equity Dividend Fund, Voya Global Equity Dividend Fund, Voya Global Natural Resources Fund, Voya International Core Fund, Voya Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity Fund, and Voya Multi-Manager International Equity Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of Voya Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), enters into a new investment advisory contract (the “Advisory Contract”) with Voya Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”), and the Adviser enters into new sub-advisory contracts (collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Contracts”) between the Adviser and the sub-advisers to each Fund (collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust, including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), must approve the new arrangements. Discussed below are certain factors that the Board considered at a meeting held on November 18, 2014 in determining whether to approve new advisory and sub-advisory arrangements for the Funds in connection with a Change of Control Event, as such term is defined below.

 

At the November 18, 2014 meeting, the Board noted that pursuant to an agreement with the European Commission, ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”), the former parent company of the Adviser and Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM”), the sub-adviser to Voya Emerging Markets Equity Dividend Fund, Voya Global Equity Dividend Fund, and Voya Global Natural Resources Fund, is required to divest its entire interest in Voya Financial, Inc. (formerly known as ING U.S., Inc.), its U.S.-based insurance, retirement services, and investment management operations, which include the Adviser and Voya IM, by the end of 2016 (the “Separation Plan”). Voya Financial, Inc. previously was a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of ING Groep and is a parent company of the Adviser and Voya IM.

 

The Funds are subject to the 1940 Act, which provides that any investment advisory agreement, including any sub-advisory agreement, must terminate automatically upon its “assignment.” As used in the 1940 Act, the term assignment includes any transfer of a controlling block of outstanding voting securities of an adviser or the parent company of an adviser. Such a transfer is referred to herein as a “Change of Control Event.”

 

ING Groep’s base case to achieve the Separation Plan was through an initial public offering of Voya Financial, Inc.

(the “IPO”) followed by the divestment of ING Groep’s remaining ownership interest over time through one or more additional public offerings of Voya Financial, Inc. stock, or, possibly, through one or more privately negotiated sales of the stock. The Board recognized that the Separation Plan contemplated several public offerings and each may have been deemed to be a Change of Control Event, triggering the necessity for new agreements, which would require the approval of the Board. The Board concluded that approval by shareholders of the new agreements that would become effective in the event of one or more Change of Control Events would permit the Funds to benefit from the continuation of services by the Adviser, the Sub-Advisers, and their affiliates throughout the Separation Plan without the need for multiple shareholder meetings. The Board was informed by the Adviser and its counsel that the Adviser obtained regulatory assurances from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2013 that they would not object to approval of future agreements by shareholders at a single shareholder meeting. The Funds’ shareholders approved the future agreements in May 2013.

 

The IPO was completed in May 2013. ING Groep divested additional shares in Voya Financial, Inc. through four subsequent public offerings since May 2013, including a secondary common stock offering that closed on November 18, 2014 (the “November Transaction”). (In addition, concurrently with the November Transaction, Voya Financial, Inc. repurchased $175 million of its shares directly from ING Groep.) Upon the completion of the November Transaction and the concurrent direct share repurchase, ING Groep’s ownership in Voya Financial, Inc. was reduced from approximately 32.5% to approximately 19%. This was deemed to be a Change of Control Event that resulted in the termination of the Funds’ existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements (the “Prior Agreements”) at the close of business on November 18, 2014.

 

In light of the foregoing, on November 18, 2014, the Board, at an in-person meeting, approved new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements (the “New Agreements”) for the Funds to replace the Prior Agreements upon termination. At that meeting, the Adviser represented that the agreements approved by the Board were not materially different from the agreements approved by shareholders of the Funds in 2013 and no single person or group of persons acting together was expected to gain “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Voya Financial, Inc. As a result, shareholders of the Funds were not asked to vote again on these new agreements with the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers’.

 

69
 

  

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The decision by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, to approve the New Agreements was based on a determination by the Board that it would be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds for the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to continue providing investment advisory, sub-advisory, and related services for the Funds, without interruption, after the Change of Control Event.

 

Prior to its approval of the New Agreements, the Board reviewed, among other matters, the quality, extent and nature of the services currently being provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the Prior Agreements and to be provided under the New Agreements. A substantial portion of this review was conducted as part of, and in conjunction with, the Board’s annual reviews of the Prior Agreements, which were most recently approved for continuation at the in-person meeting of the Board held on September 12, 2014. During the review process that led to its approval of the Prior Agreements on September 12, 2014, the Board was informed by the Adviser that it was likely the Board would be asked in the very near future to consider approval of the New Agreements. The Board further noted that the Change of Control Event would result in the Adviser’s and Voya IM’s loss of access to certain services and resources of ING Groep, which could adversely affect their businesses and profitability.

 

On September 12, 2014, the Board concluded, in light of all factors it considered, including undertakings by the Adviser relating to certain follow-up actions, to renew the Prior Agreements and that the fee rates set forth in the Prior Agreements were fair and reasonable. Among other factors, the Board considered: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided and to be provided under the Prior Agreements; (2) the extent to which economies of scale are reflected in fee rate schedules under the Prior Agreements; (3) the existence of any “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, and their affiliates; (4) a comparison of fee rates, expense ratios, and investment performance to those of similar funds; and (5) the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, and their affiliates with respect to their services to the Funds.

 

A further description of the process followed by the Board in approving the Prior Agreements on September 12, 2014, including the information reviewed, certain material factors considered and certain related conclusions reached, is set forth in the Funds’ Annual Report, dated October 31, 2014, under the section titled Board Consideration and Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts.”

 

In connection with its approval of the New Agreements, on November 18, 2014, the Board considered its conclusions

in connection with its September 12, 2014 approvals of those Prior Agreements that were in effect on that date, including the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of services being provided and, as applicable, actions taken in certain instances to improve the relationship between the costs and the quality of services being provided. Also in connection with its November 18, 2014 approvals of the New Agreements, the Board considered a representation from the Adviser that there were no additional developments not already disclosed to the Board since September 12, 2014 that would be a material consideration to the Board in connection with its consideration of the New Agreements.

 

In addition, in determining whether to approve the New Agreements, the Board took into account the considerations set out below.

 

1)The Independent Trustees solicited and received ongoing advice regarding the Board’s legal duties when approving the New Agreements from K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel, which law firm has extensive experience regarding such matters.

 

2)The Board considered Management’s representations regarding its commitment to maintain appropriate levels of overall staffing, ongoing resources and service quality through the transactions under the Separation Plan and after the Change of Control Event. The Board noted that such services include, but are not limited to, portfolio management services, administrative services, and regulatory compliance services. In this regard, the Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates that their separation from ING Groep, as contemplated by the Separation Plan, will not lead to a reduction in the quality or scope of these and other services provided by those firms to the funds in the Voya funds complex, including the Funds. The Board also considered the importance of the asset management operations to the overall success of Voya Financial, Inc., which provides a strong incentive to Voya Financial, Inc. to provide appropriate resource allocations to support those asset management operations.

 

3)The Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates that approval of the New Agreements would be necessary for the Funds to continue receiving investment management services from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser following the November 18, 2014 Change of Control Event. In addition, the Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates, as well as related supporting documentation, indicating that the New Agreements, including the fees payable thereunder, are substantially similar to

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)

 

and, in any event, are no less favorable to the Funds than the terms of the corresponding Prior Agreements.

 

4)The Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates, including senior investment management personnel, as well as related supporting documentation, indicating that: (a) the Adviser and Sub-Adviser can be expected to provide services of the same nature, extent and quality under the New Agreements as were provided thereby under the Prior Agreements; and (b) the November 18, 2014, Change of Control Event is not expected to result in any changes to: (i) the management of the Funds, including the continuity of the Funds’ portfolio managers and other personnel responsible for the management operations of the Funds; or (ii) the investment objective of or the principal investment strategies used to manage the Funds.

 

5)The Board considered actions taken by the Adviser subsequent to the September 12, 2014 approvals of the Prior Agreements with respect to certain Voya funds in response to requests made by the Board in connection with those approvals.

 

6)The Board considered the potential benefits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the New Agreements.

 

Based on the foregoing and other relevant considerations, at a meeting of the Board held on November 18, 2014, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the New Agreements. In this connection, the Board concluded that, in light of all factors considered, the terms of the New Agreements, including fee rates, were fair and reasonable, and the New Agreements should be approved so as to enable a continuation without interruption of the services being provided by the current service providers pursuant to the Prior Agreements. The Board noted that no one factor was determinative of its decisions which, instead, were premised upon the totality of factors considered. The Board also noted that different Board members likely placed emphasis on different factors in reaching their individual conclusions to vote in favor of the New Agreements.

 

APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

 

At a meeting held on March 12, 2015, the Board approved amending and restating the Funds’ Investment Management Agreements so that, effective May 1, 2015,

the terms of each Fund’s Investment Management Agreement and its Administration Agreement are combined under a single Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement with a single management fee. The single management fee rate under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement does not exceed the former combined investment management and administrative services fee rates for the Fund and, under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, there was no change to the investment management or administrative services provided or the fees charged to the Fund.

 

In connection with its review, the Board determined that it did not need to consider certain factors it typically considers during its review of the Funds’ advisory agreements because it had reviewed, among other matters, the nature, extent and quality of services being provided and, as applicable, actions taken in certain instances to improve the relationship between the costs and the quality of services being provided on September 12, 2014, when it renewed the Agreements. In analyzing whether to approve the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements, the Board did consider, among other things: (1) a memorandum and related materials outlining the terms of these Agreements and Management’s rationale for proposing the amendments that combine the terms of each Fund’s investment management and administrative services arrangements under a single agreement; (2) Management’s representations that, under the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements, there would be no change in the fees payable for the combination of advisory and administrative services provided to the Funds; (3) Management’s confirmation that the implementation of the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements would result in no change in the scope of services that the Adviser provides to the Funds and that the personnel who have provided administrative and advisory services to the Funds previously would continue to do so after the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements become effective; and (4) representations from Management that the combination of the Agreements better aligns the Funds’ contracts with the manner in which Voya provides such services to the Funds. In approving the amendments to the Funds’ Investment Management Agreements, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER



 
A question of resources

Dear Shareholder,

Geopolitical strategy and diplomacy — not to mention the global economy — are deeply driven by questions of access to resources. Who has what you need? How much do you have to pay to get it? How friendly do buyers and sellers need to be?

Today we are confronted with a variety of such issues that may profoundly affect the world for decades to come. For example, the renewed prominence of the United States as an energy producer likely will impact the relationships between consumers, like Europe, and producers, such as Russia and OPEC. While the surge of people fleeing wars in the Middle East and Africa may present an integration challenge to Europe, it also may represent an infusion of youth and energy that the aging continent needs. And as traditional supplies of water come under stress, the need for alternative water sources will likely spur the creation of new technologies and new investment opportunities.

Of course, there are more immediate economic concerns, notably whether central bank support — waning in the U.S., expanding pretty much everywhere else — can sustain global economic growth. Add in elements of political uncertainty, and bouts of market volatility should not be unexpected.

What lessons lie here for your investment program? The most important: Don’t try to “game” diversification. No one can be certain how the global economy will turn, or know where the best investment opportunities will arise. Rather than groping for the next hot investment, you’re well advised to remain broadly diversified, retaining the potential to benefit from whatever the next generation of opportunities has to offer. Periodically review your portfolio with your financial advisor to make sure it remains focused on your investing goals. And as always, do not make changes to your portfolio without first discussing them with your financial advisor.

We appreciate your continued confidence in us, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

 

Shaun Mathews
President and Chief Executive Officer
May 1, 2015

MARKET PERSPECTIVE:  SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2015


Our new fiscal year commenced after a very volatile October, when global equities, represented by the MSCI World IndexSM (the “Index”) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends, fell and then rose more than 8%. In less volatile conditions, the Index added 8.17% in the first half of the fiscal year, during which the forces driving financial markets substantially changed. (The Index returned 5.09% for the six-months ended April 30, 2015, measured in U.S. dollars.)

For much of the period it seemed that the only credible major growth story in the world was the U.S. Economic data were initially mostly positive. The March employment report marked the twelfth consecutive month in which more than 200,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate was down to 5-1/2%.

But reservations remained about the historically low labor force participation rate and annual wage growth languishing at about 2%. And by April some reports had started to deteriorate. The purchasing managers’ index for the manufacturing sector fell to the lowest in nearly two years. Manufacturing output itself was flat to falling, as were retail sales, even after the effect of lower gasoline prices. As for oil prices, March ended with a barrel of oil costing half of what it did seven months earlier, pushing headline annual inflation into negative territory. While this would have a beneficial effect on consumption in time, the more immediate effect was to reduce profits and investment in the energy sector and in industries that service it like capital goods and regional banks. This was evident in gross domestic product (“GDP”), which grew at a wafer-thin 0.2% annualized in the first quarter of 2015, after 2.2% in the previous quarter.

Outside of the U.S., annual GDP growth in China decelerated to 7.0% in the first quarter of 2015, the slowest in six years, depressing demand in the world’s commodity supplying countries. Japan had re-entered recession in the third quarter of 2014 after an April rise in the consumption tax, and the rebound, to growth of 1.5% annualized, was a disappointment.

But it was the euro zone that attracted most of the attention. The region entered 2015 after growth of barely 1% in 2014, unemployment perched at 11.5% and consumer prices falling. In Greece, on January 26, a new government took power, mandated to ease the terms of its €240 billion bailout and roll back reforms. The reaction of its creditors was uncompromising and the specter again loomed of a euro zone member country being forced out of the single currency with unknowable side effects. But four days earlier the European Central Bank had at last announced a program of quantitative easing, the elixir that despite all else, might drive asset prices higher, judging from the experience of the U.S. and Japan. Monthly purchases of bonds worth €60 billion would and did commence in March 2015. They would continue through September 2016. Furthermore by the end of the period, the gloomy euro zone data seemed to be turning. The unemployment rate edged down to 11.3%. Purchasing managers indices indicated increasingly solid expansion. Falling interest rates and the weaker euro (see below) would be good for business. Increasingly, buy euro zone equities, preferably currency-hedged, sell U.S., was the trade in the news.

In U.S. fixed income markets, the Treasury yield curve flattened in the first half of the fiscal year and the Barclays Long-Term U.S. Treasury sub-index returned 6.48%. But it actually lost more than that in an April correction. The Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond index as a whole returned 2.07%, practically identical to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“Barclays Aggregate”) of investment grade bonds, which increased 2.06%. The Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Bond sub-index added 2.35%, beating the 1.52% of the Barclays High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index (not a part of the Barclays Aggregate).

U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Index including dividends, gained 4.40% in the six months through April. The consumer discretionary sector was the top performer, returning 11.52%. Two of 10 sectors lost ground; not surprisingly the most serious was energy, down 4.71%. Many commentators expected S&P 500® earnings to start falling soon, depressed by the effect of lower energy prices and of the strong dollar on the value of revenues earned outside the U.S. Others remarked on the supportive effect of continuing high levels of share buybacks, with a value of $553 billion in 2014, the highest since 2007.

In currencies, the dollar advanced against most others in the first half of the fiscal year. The dollar gained 11.59% on the euro, as the prospect and then the reality of euro zone quantitative easing drove down interest rates. The dollar added 4.20% against the pound. The UK has a comparable growth story to the U.S., but an election on May 7 portended another hung parliament and unattractive coalition possibilities. The dollar gained 6.29% against the yen, mostly in November, on an announced increase in monetary easing in Japan and a partial re-allocation into non-yen securities for the giant Government Pension Investment Fund (“GPIF”).

In international markets, the MSCI Japan® Index jumped 20.43%, with exporters benefiting from the lower yen and all sectors from the GPIF’s rebalancing into stocks. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index surged 16.46%, eclipsing its 2007 closing high. Quantitative easing, plus the declining euro that went with it, ultimately trumped poor economic data, which seemed to be improving at the end. The MSCI UK® Index added 8.10%, with financials and the consumer sectors making the largest contributions. The 15 largest names in the UK index: multinationals accounting for half of its value only averaged a return of about 4.6%.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance quoted represents past performance.

Voya Global Real Estate Fund (“Global Real Estate” or the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Investment Officer, CFA, Steven D. Burton, Managing Director and Co-Chief Investment Officer, CFA, and Joseph P. Smith, Managing Director and Co-Chief Investment Officer, Portfolio Managers of CBRE Clarion Securities LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 2.21%, compared to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index and S&P 500® Index, which returned 3.56% and 4.40%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Global Real Estate shares generated a return of 2.21% over the past six months as performance was positive in all major geographic regions. Real estate stocks continue to benefit from a favorable environment of continued low interest rates, limited new supply, and improving demand for real estate space, leading to higher occupancies, rents and values. Economic growth is expanding in most developed markets around the globe, although the rate of improvement varies dramatically, from a relatively robust U.S. and U.K. to tepid recoveries in the Eurozone and Japan, and a decelerating China. Sentiment towards growth in Europe has recently improved via an aggressive quantitative easing program announced by the European Central Bank in January. However, we believe that some caution is warranted due to geopolitical events such as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, regional conflict in the Middle East, and the continuing uncertain political and financial crisis in Greece. We also believe inflationary pressures remain low, aided by a softening in the price of commodities, particularly a lower price of oil, which bodes well for continued low intermediate- and long-term interest rates.

Demand for real estate remains high, given the desire for yield and the significant capital seeking real estate from sources including institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, private equity and listed property companies. The spread between capitalization rates and 10-year sovereign bond yields remains at historically wide levels. This suggests there is plenty of “cushion” if bond yields were to increase, especially when considering that we remain early in the rental rate recovery cycle in many real estate markets globally. We believe a move up in short-term interest rates in the U.S. is not the key data point to watch; rather, it is long-term interest rates around the globe that we expect to remain muted given continued sluggish economic growth globally, accommodative central bank policy, a strong U.S. dollar, decelerating growth in China and low interest rates in Europe and Japan. With listed property companies trading essentially in-line with or at a discount to private market values and M&A activity heating up, we believe listed real estate provides an attractive combination of yield and growth.

The Fund trailed its benchmark during the period as the value added by positive positioning in the Americas and Europe was more than offset by positioning in the Asia-Pacific region. Relative performance in the Asia-Pacific region proved to be challenging, as positioning in Japan was the primary detractor during the period. Japanese property companies underperformed despite significant monetary and fiscal stimulus from the Japanese government and what we believed to be clear evidence of improving property fundamentals. Positive contributors to relative return for the period included stock selection in the U.S. and Europe, where selection among the U.S. office, mall and apartment REITs added value as did positions in U.K. storage and German residential companies. The impact of asset allocation decisions during the period was flat, as the benefit of favorable positioning decisions in the Americas and the U.K. was offset by an overweight to the underperforming Japanese market.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In the U.S., we prefer the apartment sector, coastal Central Business District office sector, and high-end mall companies; we are more cautious on the storage, net lease and healthcare sectors. Portfolio positioning emphasizes property types which we believe can benefit the most from improving economic conditions. Investments in Europe are focused on companies with higher growth characteristics, such as London office companies and German residential, both of which have reported steadily improving rental growth. Dividend yields remain high versus bonds, particularly in Europe, which is currently characterized by slow growth and gradually improving fundamentals. The investment market remains extremely active with elevated demand for prime properties in London and Paris and associated downward pressure on capitalization rates. Positioning in the Asia-Pacific region continues to tread carefully around decelerating economic growth in mainland China and ever-changing government policies aimed at limiting price movement in the residential sectors in Hong Kong,

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT VOYA GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND


Singapore and mainland China. We are more positive on the office sector in these markets and selective on residential, including a positive stance on near-term prospects in mainland China given attractive valuations. We continue to favor the Tokyo office market, which is showing continued improved occupancies and accelerating rental growth after years of stagnation. Australian investments are benefiting from an attractive combination of yield and growth. Additionally, mergers and acquisitions activity has recently picked up due to wide access to attractively priced capital by quality institutional investors, including listed real estate companies.

A combination of slow but steady economic growth and low long-term interest rates relative to historical levels should bode well for real estate and real estate securities, which generate a material component of total return from current yield. Low levels of new construction globally also suggest to us that owners of existing properties should continue to enjoy improved pricing power. With expected earnings growth in the 6-7% range for this year and next, and dividends growing at about the same pace as earnings, we believe that real estate companies continue to offer investors an attractive investment option anchored by current income via the dividend.

Performance: For the six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 5.27% compared to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-US Property Index and S&P 500® Index which returned 5.43% and 4.40%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: International Real Estate shares generated a return of 5.27% over the past six months as performance was positive in the European and Asia-Pacific regions but down modestly in the Americas. Real estate stocks continue to benefit from a favorable environment of continued low interest rates, limited new supply, and improving demand for real estate space, leading to higher occupancies, rents and values. Economic growth is expanding in most developed markets around the globe, although the rate of improvement varies dramatically, from a relatively robust U.S. and U.K. to tepid recoveries in the Eurozone and Japan, and a decelerating China. Sentiment towards growth in Europe has recently improved via an aggressive quantitative easing program announced by the ECB in January. However, we believe that some caution is warranted due to geopolitical events such as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, regional conflict in the Middle East, and the continuing uncertain political and financial crisis in Greece. We also believe inflationary pressures remain low, aided by a softening in the price of commodities, particularly a lower price of oil, which bodes well for continued low intermediate- and long-term interest rates.

Demand for real estate remains high, given the desire for yield and the significant capital seeking real estate from sources including institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, private equity and listed property companies. The spread between capitalization rates and 10-year sovereign bond yields remains at historically wide levels. This suggests there is plenty of “cushion” if bond yields were to increase, especially when considering that we remain early in the rental rate recovery cycle in many real estate markets globally. We believe a move up in short-term interest rates in the U.S. is not the key data point to watch, rather it is long-term interest rates around the globe which we expect to remain muted given continued sluggish economic growth globally, accommodative central bank policy, a strong U.S. dollar, decelerating growth in China and low interest rates in Europe and Japan. With listed property companies trading essentially in-line with or at a discount to private market values and M&A activity heating up, we believe listed real estate provides an attractive combination of yield and growth.

Stock selection in the Asia-Pacific and European regions was positive during the period, while asset allocation decisions detracted modestly from relative performance. The largest contributor to relative performance was stock selection in the Hong Kong market, which benefitted from investments in select Mainland China-focused residential developers that delivered strong returns during the period. Stock selection in Europe also added value, led by positioning in German residential companies and by positioning in storage and logistics companies in the UK. Stock selection in Canada detracted from relative performance during the period. The impact of asset allocation decisions during the period was negative, as the benefit of a high-conviction underweight to Canada, the poorest-performing market during the period, was offset by the impact of an overweight to the underperforming Japanese market as well an underweight to outperforming Continental Europe. The impact of holding a modest cash position in a positive market also produced modest headwinds, which is typical in a market with positive absolute returns.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In the Americas, we remain underweight Canada. Given the underperformance of Canadian REITs in trailing periods, we are looking for opportunities to selectively add, but remain underweight the region given an inferior earnings growth profile and a deteriorating economic outlook. The emphasis remains on identifying companies with unique business models which we believe are able to generate growth above and beyond the sector average.

Investments in Europe are focused on companies with higher growth characteristics, such as London office companies and German residential, both of which have reported steadily improving rental growth. Dividend yields remain high versus bonds, particularly in Europe,

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

VOYA INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE FUND


which is currently characterized by slow growth and gradually improving fundamentals. The investment market remains extremely active with elevated demand for prime properties in London and Paris and associated downward pressure on capitalization rates.

In our opinion, in the Asia-Pacific region, Japan and Australia remain attractive. In Japan, we like the Tokyo office market as it continues to show improved occupancies and accelerating rental growth after years of stagnation. We believe Australian REITs should benefit from an increasingly accommodative central bank, as well as the prospects for an increase in M&A activity. Our positioning continues to focus on companies which we believe have unique business models and an ability to drive above-average growth. Positioning elsewhere in Asia continues to tread carefully around decelerating economic growth in mainland China. We remain positive on the office sector in Hong Kong, and to a lesser degree, in Singapore, given relatively limited near-term supply and modestly improving tenant demand, while remaining cautious on the retail space as retail sales growth remains under pressure. China’s more recent accommodative policy decisions (e.g., interest rate and RRR cuts and relaxation of home-purchase restrictions) have made us more constructive on the mainland residential sector.

A combination of slow but steady economic growth and low long-term interest rates relative to historical levels should bode well for real estate and real estate securities, which generate a material component of total return from current yield. Low levels of new construction globally suggest that owners of existing properties should continue to enjoy improved pricing power. With expected earnings growth in the 5-6% range for this year and next, and dividends growing at about the same pace as earnings, we believe that real estate companies continue to offer investors an attractive investment option anchored by current income via the dividend.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)


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

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015. Each Fund’s expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

Voya Mutual Funds (“VMF” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on December 18, 1992 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. There are fifteen separate active investment series, two of which are included in this report, (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Voya Global Real Estate Fund (“Global Real Estate”) and Voya International Real Estate Fund (“International Real Estate”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.

Each Fund offers at least five or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class O, Class R, Class R6 and Class W. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees and transfer agent fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of a fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from a fund pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a fund or a class are charged directly to that fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable.

Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are closed to new investors and additional investments from existing shareholders, except in connection with the reinvestment of any distributions and permitted exchanges.

Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Funds. Voya Funds Services, LLC (“VFS” or the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the Administrator to the Funds. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the “Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Funds.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

A.  Security Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Fund is determined each business day as of the close of regular trading (“Market Close”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless otherwise designated by the NYSE) each day on which the NYSE is open for trading. The Funds are open for business every day the NYSE is open. Fund shares will not be priced on days when the NYSE is closed. The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding.

Assets for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the normal trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask price on that day. Bank loans are valued at the average of the averages between the bid and ask prices provided to an independent loan pricing service by brokers. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

When a market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, a Fund will determine a fair value for the relevant asset in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (“Board”). Such procedures provide, for example, that: (a) Debt obligations are valued using an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated prices provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, benchmark yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity individual trading

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


characteristics and other market data; (b) Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices provided by independent pricing services or market makers; (c) Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source using an industry accepted model, such as Black-Scholes; (d) Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued using a price provided by the central counterparty clearinghouse; (e) Over-the-counter swap agreements are valued using a price provided by an independent pricing service; (f) Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing current and forward rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Such prices from the third party pricing service are for specific settlement periods and each Fund’s forward foreign currency contracts are valued at an interpolated rate between the closest preceding and subsequent period reported by the independent pricing service and (g) Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by brokers.

The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which a Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and believed to be reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. An independent pricing service determines the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be valued by the independent pricing service using pricing models designed to estimate likely changes in the values of those securities between the times in which the trading in those securities is substantially completed and the close of the NYSE. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining the value of such securities and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures.

All other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable (or if the above fair valuation methods are unavailable or determined to be unreliable) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board following procedures approved by the Board. Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine a Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in a Fund.

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

The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the “Pricing Committee” as established by the Funds’ Administrator. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Investment Adviser or sub-adviser, when determining the fair value of the security. In the event that a security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods established by the Board, the fair value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee. When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine its NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Pricing Committee believes accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks of investing in those securities valued in good faith at

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


fair value nor can it be assured the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Pricing Committee may compare prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and traded prices to the prior or current day prices and the Pricing Committee challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the independent pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued in good faith at fair value, the Pricing Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuation on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. The beginning of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

For the period ended April 30, 2015, there have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.

B.  Security 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, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.

Real Estate estimates components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. If the Funds no longer owns the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.

C.  Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.

Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

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

    (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 the end of the day, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities that 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 taxes recorded on a Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid, and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Market Risk Factors. In pursuit of their investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risk factors:

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the U.S. dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the U.S. dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

The use of these strategies involves certain special risks, including a possible imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price movements of derivative instruments and price movements of related investments. While some strategies involving derivative instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in related investments or otherwise, due to the possible inability of the Funds to purchase or sell a portfolio security at a time that otherwise would be favorable or the possible need to sell a portfolio security at a disadvantageous time because the Funds are required to maintain asset coverage or offsetting positions in connection with transactions in derivative instruments. Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the following notes.

Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. The Funds’ derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Funds intend to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that they believe to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, the Funds generally enter into master netting arrangements, established within the Funds’ International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by the Funds and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement. At April 30, 2015, the Funds had not entered into any Master Agreements and did not have any open OTC derivative contracts.

E.  Forward Foreign Currency Transactions. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar, generally in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or may use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

During the period ended April 30, 2015, International Real Estate entered into one forward foreign currency contract to buy with a contract amount of $5,408,383. International Real Estate used the forward foreign currency contract primarily to protect its non-U.S. dollar denominated holdings from adverse currency movements. There were no open forward foreign currency contracts at April 30, 2015.

F.  Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on ex-dividend date. Each Fund declares and pays dividends, if any, quarterly and each Fund distributes capital gains, if any, annually. The Funds may make distributions on a more frequent

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


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 U.S. GAAP for investment companies.

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

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

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

I.  Securities Lending. Each Fund has the option to temporarily loan securities representing up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, a Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to a Fund in the event a Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. Each Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) provides each Fund indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund.

J.  Restricted Securities. Each Fund may invest in restricted securities which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“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.

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

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the period ended April 30, 2015, the cost of purchases and proceeds from the sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, were as follows:

        Purchases
    Sales
Global Real Estate

International Real Estate
                 254,726,087             215,872,027   
 

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

Each Fund has entered into an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund, at the following annual rates:

Fund
        As a Percentage of Average
Daily Net Assets
Global Real Estate
           
0.80% on the first $250 million; 0.775% on the next $250 million; and 0.70% in excess of $500 million
International Real Estate
           
1.00% on the first $250 million; 0.90% on the next $250 million; and 0.80% in excess of $500 million
 

CBRE Clarion Securities LLC serves as the sub-adviser to the Funds. The sub-adviser provides investment advice for the Funds and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net assets of each respective Fund. Subject to such policies as the Board or Investment Adviser may determine, the sub-adviser manages each Fund’s assets in accordance with that Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and limitations.

The Funds have entered into an administrative agreement (“Administrative Agreement”) with the Administrator. The Administrator provides certain administrative and

shareholder services necessary for each Fund’s operations and is responsible for the supervision of other service providers. For its services, the Administrator is entitled to receive from each Fund a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.

Please see Note 16 — Subsequent Events on the Combination of the former Management Agreement and Administrative Agreement.

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

Each share class of the Funds, except Class I, Class R6, and Class W, has a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby the Distributor is reimbursed or compensated (depending on the class of shares) by the Funds for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the 12b-1 Plans, each class of shares of a Fund pays the Distributor a Distribution and/or Service Fee based on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

Fund
        Class A
    Class B
    Class C
    Class O
    Class R
Global Real Estate
                 0.25 %            1.00 %            1.00 %            0.25 %            0.50 %  
International Real Estate

NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

At April 30, 2015, there were no direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Voya Financial, Inc. that owned more than 5% of the Funds.

Control is defined by the 1940 Act as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. The 1940 Act defines affiliates to include companies that are under common control. Therefore, if certain Funds have a common owner that owns over 25% of the outstanding securities of the Funds, they may be deemed to be affiliates of each other. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Funds.

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

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

NOTE 7 — OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES

At April 30, 2015, the following Fund had the following payable included in Other Accrued Expenses and Liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities that exceeded 5% of total liabilities:

  Any fees waived pursuant to the side letter agreement shall not be eligible for recoupment.

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

As of April 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any amount of waived or reimbursed fees that would be subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser.

The expense limitation agreements are contractual through March 1, 2016 and shall renew automatically for one-year terms. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Board.

NOTE 9 — LINE OF CREDIT

Each Fund, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, has entered into an unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BNY for an aggregate amount of $200,000,000. The proceeds may be used only to: (1) temporarily finance the purchase and sale of securities; or (2) finance the redemption of shares of an investor in the Funds. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears.

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

The Funds did not utilize the line of credit during the period ended April 30, 2015.

NOTE 11 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

All mutual funds involve risk — some more than others — and there is always the chance that you could lose money or not earn as much as you hope. A Fund’s risk profile is largely a factor of the principal securities in which it invests and investment techniques that it uses. For more information regarding the types of securities and investment techniques that may be used by the Funds and their corresponding risks, see each Fund’s most recent Prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information.

Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets Risk (Both Funds). Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which the Funds may invest are denominated in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as changes vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar from movements in currency, and changes in security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the Funds’ investments.

Foreign investment risks typically are greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets.

NOTE 12 — SECURITIES LENDING

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)


NOTE 12 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements.

The cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements that are collateralized at 102% with securities issued or fully guaranteed by the United States Treasury; United States government or any agency, instrumentality or authority of the United States government. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Summary Portfolio of Investments under Securities Lending Collateral.

Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund. At April 30, 2015, the Funds had no securities on loan.

NOTE 13 — 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 U.S. GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.

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

For Global Real Estate, the tax composition of dividends and distributions in the current tax period ending April 30, 2015 has been estimated below and may change after the Fund’s tax year-end of December 31, 2015. The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the capital loss carryforwards which may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes as of October 31, 2014 are detailed below. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) provides an unlimited carryforward period for newly generated capital losses. Under the Act, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Funds’ pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses are required to be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards.

(1)
  As of the Fund’s tax year ended December 31, 2014.

The Funds’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2009.

As of April 30, 2015, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue.

NOTE 14 — LITIGATION

Section A — Cox I

On September 6, 2013, Voya Investments received service of the complaint in the derivative action of Jeremie Cox, Derivatively on Behalf of ING Global Real Estate Fund v ING Investments, LLC (“Cox I”) brought on behalf of Global Real Estate. The Cox I complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“Delaware Court”), alleges that Voya Investments breached its fiduciary duty under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 by charging Global Real Estate excessive investment management fees (“Advisory Fees”) pursuant to a Management Agreement between Voya Investments and the Trust.

Chief among Plaintiff’s allegations is that Voya Investments retains the majority of the Advisory Fees, but hires a sub-adviser, CBRE Clarion Securities LLC, to perform essentially all of the investment management services for only a “fraction” of the total Advisory Fees. Cox I is one of many pending cases challenging the fees retained by mutual fund advisers that use a “manager of managers” structure.

The Cox I complaint seeks, among other things: (1) an order awarding damages on behalf of Global Real Estate against Voya Investments, including repayment of all unlawful and or excessive Advisory Fees paid to it by Global Real Estate from one year prior to the commencement of the action through the date of trial; and (2) rescission of the Management Agreement between Voya Investments and Global Real Estate.

Section B — Cox II

On March 13, 2015, Plaintiff served a complaint in a second case, captioned Jeremie Cox, Derivatively on Behalf of ING Global Real Estate Fund v Voya Investments, LLC f/k/a ING Investments, LLC and Voya Funds Services, LLC f/k/a ING Funds Services, LLC (“Cox II”). In the Cox II complaint, the Plaintiff reasserts his Section 36(b) claims with respect to the Advisory Fees as noted in Cox I, but adds a claim that the fees paid by Global Real Estate to VFS for administrative services (“Administrative Fees”) are excessive under Section 36(b). The Cox II complaint thus adds a claim, excessive Administrative Fees, and a defendant, VFS. Defendants’ Answer to the Complaint was filed on May 15, 2015.

In addition to the relief sought against Voya Investments in connection with the Management Agreement, the Cox II complaint seeks, among other things: (1) an order awarding damages on behalf of Global Real Estate against VFS, including repayment of all unlawful and/or excessive Administrative Fees paid to it by Global Real Estate from one year prior to the commencement of Cox II through the date of trial in the case; and (2) rescission of the Administrative Agreement between VFS and Global Real Estate.

NOTE 15 — RESTRUCTURING PLAN

Prior to May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”). In October 2009, ING Groep submitted a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) to the European Commission in order to receive approval for state aid granted to ING Groep by the Kingdom of the Netherlands in November 2008 and March 2009. To receive approval for this state aid, ING Groep was required to divest its insurance and investment management businesses, including Voya Financial, Inc. (formerly, ING U.S., Inc.), before the end of 2013. In November 2012, the Restructuring Plan was amended to permit ING Groep additional time to complete the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF APRIL 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)


NOTE 15 — RESTRUCTURING PLAN (continued)


divestment. Pursuant to the amended Restructuring Plan, ING Groep was required to divest at least 25% of Voya Financial, Inc. by the end of 2013 and more than 50% by the end of 2014, and was required to divest its remaining interest by the end of 2016 (such divestment, the “Separation Plan”).

In May 2013, Voya Financial, Inc. conducted an initial public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”). In October 2013, March 2014, and September 2014, ING Groep divested additional shares in several secondary offerings of common stock of Voya Financial, Inc. and concurrent share repurchases by Voya Financial, Inc. These transactions reduced ING Groep’s ownership interest in Voya Financial, Inc. to 32%. Voya Financial, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from these offerings.

In November 2014, through an additional secondary offering and the concurrent repurchase of shares by Voya Financial, Inc., ING Groep further reduced its interest in Voya Financial, Inc. below 25% to approximately 19% (the “November 2014 Offering”). The November 2014 Offering was deemed by the Investment Adviser to be a change of control (the “Change of Control”), which resulted in the automatic termination of the existing investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements under which the Investment Adviser and sub-advisers provide services to the Funds. In anticipation of this termination, and in order to ensure that the existing investment advisory and sub-advisory services could continue uninterrupted, in 2013 the Board approved new advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Funds, as applicable, in connection with the IPO. In addition, in 2013, shareholders of each Fund approved new investment advisory and affiliated sub-advisory agreements prompted by the IPO, as well as any future advisory and affiliated sub-advisory agreements prompted by the Separation Plan that are approved by the Board and that have terms not materially different from the current agreements. This meant that shareholders would not have another opportunity to vote on a new agreement with the Investment Adviser or a current affiliated sub-adviser even upon a change of control prompted by the Separation Plan, as long as no single person or group of persons acting together gains “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Voya Financial, Inc.

On November 18, 2014, in response to the Change of Control, the Board, at an in-person meeting, approved new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements. At that meeting, the Investment Adviser represented that the new investment advisory and affiliated sub-advisory agreements approved by the Board were not materially different from the agreements approved by shareholders in 2013 and no single person or group of persons acting together was expected to gain “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Voya Financial, Inc. As a result, shareholders of the Funds will not be asked to vote again on the new agreements with the Investment Adviser.

In March 2015, ING Groep divested the remainder of its interest in Voya Financial, Inc. through a secondary offering of Voya Financial, Inc.’s common stock of and a concurrent share repurchase by Voya Financial, Inc. Voya Financial, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from these transactions.

NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Combination of former Management Agreement and Administrative Agreement: At a meeting held on March 12, 2015, the Board approved amending and restating the Funds’ Management Agreement so that, effective May 1, 2015, the terms of each Fund’s Management Agreement and its Administrative Agreement are combined under a single Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement with a single management fee. The single management fee rate under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement does not exceed the former combined investment management and administrative services fee rates for each Fund and, under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, there was no change to the investment management or administrative services provided or the fees charged to each Fund.

Line of Credit: Effective May 22, 2015, the funds to which the Credit Agreement is available will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears.

The Funds have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date (“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.

  For the period ended April 30, 2015, as a result of the fair value pricing procedures for international equities utilized by the Fund, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the year. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of the reporting period. At April 30, 2015, securities valued at $4,527,578 and $28,532,773 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and Level 2 to Level 1, respectively, within the fair value hierarchy.

AS OF APRIL 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)


ˆ
  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.

The effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations for the period ended April 30, 2015 was as follows:

        Amount of Realized Gain or (Loss) on
Derivatives Recognized in Income

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)


APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS IN CONNECTION WITH CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENT

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides that, when Voya Global Real Estate Fund and Voya International Real Estate Fund (together, the “Funds”), each a series of Voya Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), enters into a new investment advisory contract (the “Advisory Contract”) with Voya Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”), and the Adviser enters into new sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts”) between the Adviser and CBRE Clarion Securities LLC, the sub-adviser to each Fund (the “Sub-Adviser”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust, including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), must approve the new arrangements. Discussed below are certain factors that the Board considered at a meeting held on November 18, 2014 in determining whether to approve new advisory and sub-advisory arrangements for the Funds in connection with a Change of Control Event, as such term is defined below.

At the November 18, 2014 meeting, the Board noted that pursuant to an agreement with the European Commission, ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”), the former parent company of the Adviser, is required to divest its entire interest in Voya Financial, Inc. (formerly known as ING U.S., Inc.), its U.S.-based insurance, retirement services, and investment management operations, which include the Adviser, by the end of 2016 (the “Separation Plan”). Voya Financial, Inc. previously was a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of ING Groep and is a parent company of the Adviser.

The Funds are subject to the 1940 Act, which provides that any investment advisory agreement, including any sub-advisory agreement, must terminate automatically upon its “assignment.” As used in the 1940 Act, the term assignment includes any transfer of a controlling block of outstanding voting securities of an adviser or the parent company of an adviser. Such a transfer is referred to herein as a “Change of Control Event.”

ING Groep’s base case to achieve the Separation Plan was through an initial public offering of Voya Financial, Inc. (the “IPO”) followed by the divestment of ING Groep’s remaining ownership interest over time through one or more additional public offerings of Voya Financial, Inc. stock, or, possibly, through one or more privately negotiated sales of the stock. The Board recognized that the Separation Plan contemplated several public offerings and each may have been deemed to be a Change of Control Event, triggering the necessity for new agreements, which would require the approval of the Board. The Board concluded that approval by shareholders of the new agreements that would become effective in the event of one or more Change of Control Events would permit the Funds to benefit from the continuation of services by the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, and their affiliates throughout the Separation Plan without the need for multiple shareholder meetings. The Board was informed by the Adviser and its counsel that the Adviser obtained regulatory assurances from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2013 that they would not object to approval of future agreements by shareholders at a single shareholder meeting. The Funds’ shareholders approved the future agreements in May 2013.

The IPO was completed in May 2013. ING Groep divested additional shares in Voya Financial, Inc. through four subsequent public offerings since May 2013, including a secondary common stock offering that closed on November 18, 2014 (the “November Transaction”). (In addition, concurrently with the November Transaction, Voya Financial, Inc. repurchased $175 million of its shares directly from ING Groep.) Upon the completion of the November Transaction and the concurrent direct share repurchase, ING Groep’s ownership in Voya Financial, Inc. was reduced from approximately 32.5% to approximately 19%. This was deemed to be a Change of Control Event that resulted in the termination of the Funds’ existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements (the “Prior Agreements”) at the close of business on November 18, 2014.

In light of the foregoing, on November 18, 2014, the Board, at an in-person meeting, approved new investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements (the “New Agreements”) for the Funds to replace the Prior Agreements upon termination. At that meeting, the Adviser represented that the agreements approved by the Board were not materially different from the agreements approved by shareholders of the Funds in 2013 and no single person or group of persons acting together was expected to gain “control” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Voya Financial, Inc. As a result, shareholders of the Funds were not asked to vote again on these new agreements with the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser.

The decision by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, to approve the New Agreements was based on a determination by the Board that it would be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Funds for the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to continue providing investment advisory, sub-advisory, and related services for the Funds, without interruption, after the Change of Control Event.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)


Prior to its approval of the New Agreements, the Board reviewed, among other matters, the quality, extent and nature of the services currently being provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser under the Prior Agreements and to be provided under the New Agreements. A substantial portion of this review was conducted as part of, and in conjunction with, the Board’s annual reviews of the Prior Agreements, which were most recently approved for continuation at the in-person meeting of the Board held on September 12, 2014. During the review process that led to its approval of the Prior Agreements on September 12, 2014, the Board was informed by the Adviser that it was likely the Board would be asked in the very near future to consider approval of the New Agreements. The Board further noted that the Change of Control Event would result in the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s loss of access to certain services and resources of ING Groep, which could adversely affect their businesses and profitability.

On September 12, 2014, the Board concluded, in light of all factors it considered, including undertakings by the Adviser relating to certain follow-up actions, to renew the Prior Agreements and that the fee rates set forth in the Prior Agreements were fair and reasonable. Among other factors, the Board considered: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided and to be provided under the Prior Agreements; (2) the extent to which economies of scale are reflected in fee rate schedules under the Prior Agreements; (3) the existence of any “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and their affiliates; (4) a comparison of fee rates, expense ratios, and investment performance to those of similar funds; and (5) the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, and their affiliates with respect to their services to the Funds.

A further description of the process followed by the Board in approving the Prior Agreements on September 12, 2014, including the information reviewed, certain material factors considered and certain related conclusions reached, is set forth in the Funds’ Annual Report, dated October 31, 2014, under the section titled “BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS.”

In connection with its approval of the New Agreements, on November 18, 2014, the Board considered its conclusions in connection with its September 12, 2014 approvals of those Prior Agreements that were in effect on that date, including the Board’s assessment of the nature, extent and quality of services being provided and, as applicable, actions taken in certain instances to improve the relationship between the costs and the quality of services being provided. Also in connection with its November 18, 2014 approvals of the New Agreements, the Board considered a representation from the Adviser that there were no additional developments not already disclosed to the Board since September 12, 2014 that would be a material consideration to the Board in connection with its consideration of the New Agreements.

In addition, in determining whether to approve the New Agreements, the Board took into account the considerations set out below.

1)  
  The Independent Trustees solicited and received ongoing advice regarding the Board’s legal duties when approving the New Agreements from K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel, which law firm has extensive experience regarding such matters.

2)  
  The Board considered Management’s representations regarding its commitment to maintain appropriate levels of overall staffing, ongoing resources and service quality through the transactions under the Separation Plan and after the Change of Control Event. The Board noted that such services include, but are not limited to, portfolio management services, administrative services, and regulatory compliance services. In this regard, the Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates that their separation from ING Groep, as contemplated by the Separation Plan, will not lead to a reduction in the quality or scope of these and other services provided by those firms to the funds in the Voya funds complex, including the Funds. The Board also considered the importance of the asset management operations to the overall success of Voya Financial, Inc., which provides a strong incentive to Voya Financial, Inc. to provide appropriate resource allocations to support those asset management operations.

3)  
  The Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates that approval of the New Agreements would be necessary for the Funds to continue receiving investment management services from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser following the November 18, 2014 Change of Control Event. In addition, the Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates, as well as related supporting documentation, indicating that the New Agreements, including the fees payable thereunder, are substantially similar to and, in any event, are no less favorable to the Funds than the terms of the corresponding Prior Agreements.

4)  
  The Board considered representations by the Adviser and its affiliates, including senior investment management personnel, as well as related supporting documentation, indicating that: (a) the Adviser and Sub-Adviser can be expected to provide services of the same nature, extent and quality under the New Agreements as were provided thereby under the Prior Agreements; and (b) the November 18, 2014, Change

  d289281.htm 06/25/2015 08:59 AM 38 of 40  
 

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)



  of Control Event is not expected to result in any changes to: (i) the management of the Funds, including the continuity of the Funds’ portfolio managers and other personnel responsible for the management operations of the Funds; or (ii) the investment objective of or the principal investment strategies used to manage the Funds.

5)  
  The Board considered actions taken by the Adviser subsequent to the September 12, 2014 approvals of the Prior Agreements with respect to certain Voya funds in response to requests made by the Board in connection with those approvals.

6)  
  The Board considered the potential benefits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the New Agreements.

Based on the foregoing and other relevant considerations, at a meeting of the Board held on November 18, 2014, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the New Agreements. In this connection, the Board concluded that, in light of all factors considered, the terms of the New Agreements, including fee rates, were fair and reasonable, and the New Agreements should be approved so as to enable a continuation without interruption of the services being provided by the current service providers pursuant to the Prior Agreements. The Board noted that no one factor was determinative of its decisions which, instead, were premised upon the totality of factors considered. The Board also noted that different Board members likely placed emphasis on different factors in reaching their individual conclusions to vote in favor of the New Agreements.

APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

At a meeting held on March 12, 2015, the Board approved amending and restating the Funds’ Investment Management Agreements so that, effective May 1, 2015, the terms of each Fund’s Investment Management Agreement and its Administration Agreement are combined under a single Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement with a single management fee. The single management fee rate under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement does not exceed the former combined investment management and administrative services fee rates for the Fund and, under each Fund’s Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, there was no change to the investment management or administrative services provided or the fees charged to the Fund.

In connection with its review, the Board determined that it did not need to consider certain factors it typically considers during its review of the Funds’ advisory agreements because it had reviewed, among other matters, the nature, extent and quality of services being provided and, as applicable, actions taken in certain instances to improve the relationship between the costs and the quality of services being provided on September 12, 2014, when it renewed the Agreements. In analyzing whether to approve the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements, the Board did consider, among other things: (1) a memorandum and related materials outlining the terms of these Agreements and Management’s rationale for proposing the amendments that combine the terms of each Fund’s investment management and administrative services arrangements under a single agreement; (2) Management’s representations that, under the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements, there would be no change in the fees payable for the combination of advisory and administrative services provided to the Funds; (3) Management’s confirmation that the implementation of the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements would result in no change in the scope of services that the Adviser provides to the Funds and that the personnel who have provided administrative and advisory services to the Funds previously would continue to do so after the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreements become effective; and (4) representations from Management that the combination of the Agreements better aligns the Funds’ contracts with the manner in which Voya provides such services to the Funds. In approving the amendments to the Funds’ Investment Management Agreements, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
