Voya Investments, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) is contractually obligated to limit expenses to 1.23%, 1.98%, 0.98%, 1.48%, and 0.98% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R, and Class W shares, respectively, through March 1, 2024. The limitation does not extend to interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses, and extraordinary expenses. This limitation is subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser within 36 months of the waiver or reimbursement. The amount of the recoupment is limited to the lesser of the amounts that would be recoupable under: (i) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement; or (ii) the expense limitation in effect at the time of recoupment. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
Expense Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example shows costs if you sold (redeemed) your shares at the end of the period or continued to hold them. The Example also assumes that your investment had a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects applicable expense limitation agreements and/or waivers in effect, if any, for the one-year period and the first year of the three-, five-, and ten-year periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

The Example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends (and other distributions). If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Expense Example, affect the Fund's performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 46% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”) invests the assets of the Fund in a combination of other funds (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”) that, in turn, invest directly in securities (such as stocks and bonds). The Underlying Funds will invest in the securities of issuers in a number of different countries, one of which may be the U.S. Under normal market conditions, approximately 60% of the Fund's net assets will be allocated to Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in equity securities, and approximately 40% of the Fund's net assets will be allocated to Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in fixed-income instruments, including U.S. government securities and money market instruments (the “Target Allocation”). The percentage weight of the Fund's assets invested in Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in equity securities may change to approximately 30% and the percentage weight of the Fund's assets invested in Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in fixed-income instruments may change to approximately 70% (the “Defensive Allocation”) depending upon the rules-based investment strategy described below.
The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in Underlying Funds affiliated with the Investment Adviser, although the Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, invest up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets in Underlying Funds that are not affiliated with the Investment Adviser, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).
The Target Allocation and Defensive Allocation are measured with reference to the principal investment strategies of the Underlying Funds; actual exposure to these asset classes may vary to the extent an Underlying Fund is not substantially invested in accordance with its principal investment strategies.
The Underlying Funds provide exposure to a wide range of traditional asset classes which include stocks, bonds, and cash, and non-traditional asset classes (also known as alternative strategies) which include real estate-related securities, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).
The equity securities in which the Underlying Funds may invest include, but are not limited to: domestic and international stocks of companies of any market capitalization; emerging market securities; and domestic and international real estate securities, including REITs.
The fixed-income instruments in which the Underlying Funds may invest include, but are not limited to: domestic and international short-, intermediate- and long-term bonds; high-yield fixed-income instruments rated below investment grade ( commonly referred to as “junk bonds”); and fixed-income instruments without limitations on maturity.
The Sub-Adviser uses a rules-based investment strategy to determine the allocation among Underlying Funds that invest in equity securities and fixed-income instruments. The proportion of assets allocated to Underlying Funds that are predominantly invested in equity securities and those that are predominantly invested in fixed-income instruments is determined as of each calendar quarter. Within the broad equity and debt asset classes, the Fund will seek to maintain approximately equal weights across its investment in the Underlying Funds. No adjustments to the Target Allocation or Defensive Allocation will be made between quarterly allocation dates. As soon as practicable following the end of each calendar quarter, the Sub-Adviser will compare the aggregate earnings of the companies in the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”) for the most recent calendar quarter to the aggregate earnings of the companies in the Index for the previous year's corresponding calendar quarter. If the aggregate earnings for the most recent calendar quarter are higher than the aggregate earnings of the companies in the Index for the
Voya Global Perspectives® Fund
2

previous year's corresponding calendar quarter, the Fund will take steps to ensure it is invested in accordance with the Target Allocation described above as soon as practicable. If the aggregate earnings for the most recently completed calendar quarter are lower than the reported aggregate earnings for the previous year's corresponding calendar quarter, the Fund will take steps to ensure it is invested in accordance with the Defensive Allocation described above as soon as practicable. When investing in Underlying Funds, the Sub-Adviser takes into account a wide variety of factors and considerations, including among other things the investment strategy employed in the management of a potential Underlying Fund, and the extent to which an Underlying Fund’s investment adviser considers environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors as part of its investment process. The manner in which an investment adviser uses ESG factors in its investment process will be only one of many considerations in the Sub-Adviser’s evaluation of any potential Underlying Fund, and the extent to which the consideration of ESG factors by an investment adviser will affect the Sub-Adviser’s decision to invest in an Underlying Fund, if at all, will depend on the analysis and judgment of the Sub-Adviser.
The Sub-Adviser intends to rebalance the Fund's asset allocations on at least a quarterly basis, but it may rebalance more frequently as deemed appropriate to attain the Target Allocation or Defensive Allocation for the Fund. These allocations, however, are targets, and the Fund's asset allocations could change substantially as the value of the Underlying Funds change.
Principal Risks
You could lose money on an investment in the Fund. The value of your investment in the Fund changes with the values of the Underlying Funds and their investments. The Fund is subject to the following principal risks (either directly or indirectly through investments in one or more Underlying Funds). Any of these risks, among others, could affect the Fund's or an Underlying Fund's performance or cause the Fund or an Underlying Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds. The Fund is exposed to most of the principal risks indirectly through investments by the Underlying Funds, and in some cases only through such investments. Unless stated otherwise, in the risk disclosures below, descriptions of investments or activities by “the Fund” and related risks refer to investments or activities by the Fund or by an Underlying Fund, as the case may be. Similarly, a reference to “the Investment Adviser” or to “the Sub-Adviser” is to the entity responsible for the investments in question, whether by the Fund or by an Underlying Fund. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate readability, and their order does not imply that the realization of one risk is more likely to occur or have a greater adverse impact than another risk.
Affiliated Underlying Funds: The Sub-Adviser’s selection of Underlying Funds presents conflicts of interest. The net management fee revenue received or costs incurred by the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates will vary depending on the Underlying Funds it selects for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser will have an incentive to select the Underlying Funds (whether or not affiliated with the Sub-Adviser) that will result in the greatest net management fee revenue or lowest costs to the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates, even if that results in increased expenses and potentially less favorable investment performance for the Fund. The Sub-Adviser may prefer to invest in an affiliated Underlying Fund over an unaffiliated Underlying Fund because the investment may be beneficial to the Sub-Adviser in managing the affiliated Underlying Fund by helping the affiliated Underlying Fund achieve economies of scale or by enhancing cash flows to the affiliated Underlying Fund. For similar reasons, the Sub-Adviser may have an incentive to delay or decide against the sale of interests held by the Fund in affiliated Underlying Funds, and the Sub-Adviser may implement Underlying Fund changes in a manner intended to minimize the disruptive effects and added costs of those changes to affiliated Underlying Funds. Although the Fund may invest a portion of its assets in unaffiliated Underlying Funds, there is no assurance that it will do so even in cases where the unaffiliated Underlying Funds incur lower fees or have achieved better historical investment performance than the comparable affiliated Underlying Funds.
Asset Allocation: Investment performance depends on the manager’s skill in allocating assets among the asset classes in which the Fund invests and in choosing investments within those asset classes. There is a risk that the manager may allocate assets or investments to or within an asset class that underperforms compared to other asset classes or investments.
Bank Instruments: Bank instruments include certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits, bankers’ acceptances, and other debt and deposit-type obligations issued by banks. Changes in economic, regulatory, or political conditions, or other events that affect the banking industry may have an adverse effect on bank instruments or banking institutions that serve as counterparties in transactions with the Fund.
Cash/Cash Equivalents: Investments in cash or cash equivalents may lower returns and result in potential lost opportunities to participate in market appreciation which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and ability to achieve its investment objective.
Company: The price of a company’s stock could decline or underperform for many reasons, including, among others, poor management, financial problems, reduced demand for the company’s goods or services, regulatory fines and judgments, or business challenges. If a company is unable to meet its financial obligations, declares bankruptcy, or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless.
Voya Global Perspectives® Fund

Credit: The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed - income instrument in which the Fund invests, or the counterparty to a derivative contract the Fund entered into, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services, or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to meet its financial obligations.
Currency: To the extent that the Fund invests directly or indirectly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by the Fund through foreign currency exchange transactions.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (Funds-of-Funds): The Sub-Adviser’s consideration of ESG factors in selecting Underlying Funds for investment by the Fund is based on information that is not standardized, some of which can be qualitative and subjective by nature. There is no minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will be allocated to Underlying Funds on the basis of ESG factors, and the Sub-Adviser may choose to select Underlying Funds on the basis of factors or considerations other than ESG factors. It is possible that the Fund will have less exposure to ESG-focused strategies than other comparable mutual funds. There can be no assurance that an Underlying Fund selected by the Sub-Adviser, which includes its consideration of ESG factors, will provide more favorable investment performance than another potential Underlying Fund, and such an Underlying Fund may, in fact, underperform other potential Underlying Funds.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies due, in part, to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; and political changes or diplomatic developments, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions or other measures by the U.S. or other governments and supranational organizations. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country, or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country, or region. Foreign (non-U.S.) investment risks may be greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets.
High-Yield Securities: Lower-quality securities (including securities that have fallen below investment grade and are classified as “junk bonds” or “high-yield securities”) have greater credit risk and liquidity risk than higher-quality (investment grade) securities, and their issuers' long-term ability to make payments is considered speculative. Prices of lower-quality bonds or other fixed-income instruments are also more volatile, are more sensitive to negative news about the economy or the issuer, and have greater liquidity risk and price volatility.
Index Strategy (Funds-of-Funds): An Underlying Fund (or a portion of the Underlying Fund) that seeks to track an index’s performance and does not use defensive strategies or attempt to reduce its exposure to poor performing securities in an index may underperform the overall market (each, an “Underlying Index Fund”). To the extent an Underlying Index Fund’s investments track its target index, such Underlying Index Fund may underperform other funds that invest more broadly. Errors in index data, index computations or the construction of the index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the index provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund. The correlation between an Underlying Index Fund’s performance and index performance may be affected by the timing of purchases and redemptions of the Underlying Index Fund's shares. The correlation between an Underlying Index Fund’s performance and index performance will be reduced by the Underlying Index Fund’s expenses and could be reduced by the timing of purchases and redemptions of the Underlying Index Fund’s shares. In addition, an Underlying Index Fund’s actual holdings might not match the index and an Underlying Index Fund’s effective exposure to index securities at any given time may not precisely correlate. When deciding between Underlying Index Funds benchmarked to the same index, the manager may not select the Underlying Index Fund with the lowest expenses. If the Fund invests in an Underlying Index Fund with higher expenses, the Fund's performance would be lower than if the Fund had invested in an Underlying Index Fund with comparable performance but lower expenses (although any expense limitation arrangements in place at the time might have the effect of limiting or eliminating the amount of that underperformance).
Interest Rate: A rise in market interest rates generally results in a fall in the value of bonds and other fixed-income instruments; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is to changes in market interest rates. Duration is a measure of sensitivity of the price of a fixed-income instrument to a change in interest rate. As of the date of this Prospectus, the U.S. is experiencing a rising market interest rate environment, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. To the extent that the Fund invests in fixed-income instruments, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. Increased redemptions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio
Voya Global Perspectives® Fund
4

positions when it may not be advantageous to do so and may lower returns. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential future changes in government policy may affect interest rates. Negative or very low interest rates could magnify the risks associated with changes in interest rates. In general, changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. Changes to monetary policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board or other regulatory actions could expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity, and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations and return potential.
Investment Model: The Sub-Adviser’s proprietary model may not adequately take into account existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors. Funds that are actively managed, in whole or in part, according to a quantitative investment model can perform differently from the market, based on the investment model and the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor, and changes from the factors’ historical trends. Mistakes in the construction and implementation of the investment models (including, for example, data problems and/or software issues) may create errors or limitations that might go undetected or are discovered only after the errors or limitations have negatively impacted performance. There is no guarantee that the use of these investment models will result in effective investment decisions for the Fund.
Liquidity: If a security is illiquid, the Fund might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Fund’s manager might wish to sell, or at all. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, exposing the Fund to the risk that the prices at which it sells illiquid securities will be less than the prices at which they were valued when held by the Fund, which could cause the Fund to lose money. The prices of illiquid securities may be more volatile than more liquid securities, and the risks associated with illiquid securities may be greater in times of financial stress.
Market: The market values of securities will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions, governmental actions or intervention, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, and other factors. Prices of equity securities tend to rise and fall more dramatically than those of fixed-income instruments. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax policies or developments may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives.
Market Capitalization: Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories: large, mid, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies causing a fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in large-capitalization companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, more limited publicly available information, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with large-capitalization companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may be more volatile and may decline significantly in market downturns.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical: The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S., and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of the Fund’s investments, including beyond the Fund’s direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. Those events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund’s service providers.
Prepayment and Extension: Many types of fixed-income instruments are subject to prepayment and extension risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer of a fixed-income instrument will pay back the principal earlier than expected. This risk is heightened in a falling market interest rate environment. Prepayment may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. Also, if a fixed-income instrument subject to prepayment has been purchased at a premium, the value of the
Voya Global Perspectives® Fund
5

premium would be lost in the event of prepayment. Extension risk is the risk that the issuer of a fixed-income instrument will pay back the principal later than expected. This risk is heightened in a rising market interest rate environment. This may negatively affect performance, as the value of the fixed-income instrument decreases when principal payments are made later than expected. Additionally, the Fund may be prevented from investing proceeds it would have received at a given time at the higher prevailing interest rates.
Real Estate Companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts: Investing in real estate companies and REITs may subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, market interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes, overbuilding, high foreclosure rates, and operating expenses in addition to terrorist attacks, wars, or other acts that destroy real property. In addition, REITs may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements in that a REIT may not qualify for favorable tax treatment or regulatory exemptions. Investments in REITs are affected by the management skill of the REIT’s sponsor. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests.
Underlying Funds: Because the Fund invests primarily in Underlying Funds, the investment performance of the Fund is directly related to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. When the Fund invests in an Underlying Fund, it is exposed indirectly to the risks of a direct investment in the Underlying Fund. If the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a single Underlying Fund, it may be more susceptible to risks associated with that Underlying Fund and its investments than if it invested in a broader range of Underlying Funds. It is possible that more than one Underlying Fund will hold securities of the same issuers, thereby increasing the Fund’s indirect exposure to those issuers. It also is possible that one Underlying Fund may be selling a particular security when another is buying it, producing little or no change in exposure but generating transaction costs and/or resulting in realization of gains with no economic benefit. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Underlying Fund will be achieved. In addition, the Fund’s shareholders will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the Underlying Funds’ fees and expenses, in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund itself.
U.S. Government Securities and Obligations: U.S. government securities are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its agencies, or government-sponsored enterprises. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk and interest rate risk, and may be subject to varying degrees of credit risk.
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
Performance Information
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The following bar chart shows the changes in the Fund's performance from year to year, and the table compares the Fund's performance to the performance of a broad-based securities market index/indices with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund for the same period. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund's Class A shares. Sales charges are not reflected in the bar chart. If they were, returns would be less than those shown. However, the table includes all applicable fees and sales charges. Performance for other share classes would differ to the extent they have differences in their fees and expenses. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is no guarantee of future results. For the most recent performance figures, go to https://individuals.voya.com/literature or call 1-800-992-0180.

The index returns include the reinvestment of dividends and distributions net of withholding taxes, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or other expenses.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax advantaged arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). In some cases the after-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only. After-tax returns for other classes will vary.

Tax Information
The Fund's distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or a combination of the two, unless you are investing through a tax advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA. If you are investing through a tax advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed upon withdrawals from that arrangement.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and/or related services.

KEY FUND INFORMATION

This Prospectus contains information about the Fund and is designed to provide you with important information to help you with your investment decisions. Please read it carefully and keep it for future reference.
The Fund's Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”) is incorporated by reference into (legally made a part of) this Prospectus. It identifies investment restrictions, more detailed risk descriptions, a description of how the bond rating system works, and other information that may be helpful to you in your decision to invest. You may obtain a copy, without charge, from the Fund.
Neither this Prospectus, nor the related SAI, nor other communications to shareholders, such as proxy statements, is intended, or should be read, to be or give rise to an agreement or contract between Voya Mutual Funds, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), or the Fund and any investor, or to give rise to any rights to any shareholder or other person other than any rights under federal or state law.
Other Voya mutual funds may also be offered to the public that have similar names, investment objectives, and principal investment strategies as those of the Fund. You should be aware that the Fund is likely to differ from these other Voya mutual funds in size and cash flow pattern, as well as other factors. Accordingly, the performance of the Fund can be expected to vary from those of other Voya mutual funds.
The Fund is a series of Voya Mutual Funds (“Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust. The Fund is managed by Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”).
Fund shares may be classified into different classes of shares. The classes of shares of the Fund would be substantially the same except for different expenses, certain related rights, and certain shareholder services. All share classes of the Fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.
Fundamental Investment Policies
Fundamental investment policies contained in the SAI may not be changed without shareholder approval. Other policies and investment strategies may be changed without a shareholder vote.
Fund Diversification
The Fund is diversified, as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and under the terms of applicable no-action relief or exemptive orders granted thereunder (the “1940 Act”). A diversified fund may not, as to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer and may not purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or other investment companies). A non-diversified fund is not limited by the 1940 Act in the percentage of its assets that it may invest in the obligations of a single issuer.
Investor Diversification
Although the Fund is designed to serve as a component of a diversified investment portfolio of securities, no single mutual fund can provide an appropriate investment program for all investors. You should evaluate the Fund in the context of your personal financial situation, investment objectives, and other investments.
Although an investor may achieve the same level of diversification by investing directly in a variety of mutual funds, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”), the Fund provides investors with a means to simplify their investment decisions by investing in a single diversified portfolio. For more information about the Underlying Funds, please see “Key Information About the Underlying Funds” later in this Prospectus.
Temporary Defensive Strategies
When the Investment Adviser or the sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”) ( if applicable) to the Fund or an Underlying Fund anticipates unusual market, economic, political, or other conditions, the Fund or Underlying Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies as a defensive measure. In such circumstances, the Fund or Underlying Fund may invest in securities believed to present less risk, such as cash, cash equivalents, money market fund shares and other money market instruments, fixed-income instruments that are high quality or higher quality than normal, more liquid securities, or others. While the Fund or Underlying Fund invests defensively, it may not achieve its investment objective. The Fund's or Underlying Fund's defensive investment position may not be effective in protecting its value. It is impossible to predict accurately how long such alternative strategies may be utilized.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Investment Objective
The Fund's investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed by a vote of the Fund's Board, without shareholder approval. The Fund will provide 60 days' prior written notice of any change in a non-fundamental investment objective. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
Additional Information About Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests in a combination of Underlying Funds that, in turn, invest directly in a wide range of stocks and fixed-income instruments of various types. The Fund uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds. The Fund is designed to meet the needs of investors who wish to seek exposure to various types of stocks and fixed-income instruments of various types through a single diversified investment. For a complete description of the Fund’s principal investment strategies, please see the Fund’s summary prospectus or the summary section of this Prospectus.
Asset Allocation is No Guarantee Against Loss
Although asset allocation seeks to optimize returns given various levels of risk tolerance, you still may lose money and experience volatility. Market and asset class performance may differ in the future from the historical performance and the assumptions used to form the asset allocations for the Fund. Furthermore, the Sub-Adviser's allocation of the Fund's assets may not anticipate market trends successfully. For example, weighting Underlying Funds that invest in equity securities too heavily during a stock market decline may result in a failure to preserve capital. Conversely, investing too heavily in Underlying Funds that invest in fixed-income instruments during a period of stock market appreciation may result in lower total return.
There is a risk that you could achieve better returns by investing in an Underlying Fund or other mutual funds representing a single asset class than in the Fund.
Assets will be allocated among funds and markets based on judgments made by the Sub-Adviser. There is a risk that the Fund may allocate assets to an asset class or market that underperforms other funds. For example, the Fund may be underweighted in assets or a market that is experiencing significant returns or overweighted in assets or a market with significant declines.
Performance of the Underlying Funds Will Vary
The performance of the Fund depends upon the performance of the Underlying Funds, which are affected by changes in the economy and financial markets. The value of the Fund changes as the asset values of the Underlying Funds go up or down. The value of your shares will fluctuate and may be worth more or less than the original cost. The timing of your investment may also affect performance.
Additional Information About the Principal 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. The Fund's risk profile is largely a factor of the principal securities in which it invests and investment techniques that it uses. Below is a discussion of the principal risks associated with investments in certain types of securities and the use of certain of these investment practices. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate readability, and their order does not imply that the realization of one risk is more likely to occur or have a greater adverse impact than another risk. The Fund may be exposed to these risks directly or indirectly through investments in one or more Underlying Fund(s). The Fund is exposed to most of the principal risks indirectly through investments by the Underlying Funds, and in some cases only through such investments. Unless stated otherwise, in the risk disclosures below, descriptions of investments or activities by “the Fund” and related risks refer to investments or activities by the Fund or by an Underlying Fund, as the case may be. Similarly, a reference to “the Investment Adviser” or to “the Sub-Adviser” is to the entity responsible for the investments in question, whether by the Fund or by an Underlying Fund.
Many of the investment techniques and strategies discussed in this Prospectus and in the SAI are discretionary, which means that the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser, as the case may be, can decide whether to use them. The Fund or an Underlying Fund may invest in these securities or use these techniques as part of its principal investment strategies. However, the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser may also use these investment techniques or make investments in securities that are not a part of the Fund’s or an Underlying Fund’s principal investment strategies.
11


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

For more information about these and other types of securities and investment techniques that may be used by the Fund, see the SAI, and for more information about the Underlying Funds, please see “Key Information About the Underlying Funds” or refer to the Underlying Fund’s current prospectus as of this date.
Affiliated Underlying Funds: The Sub-Adviser’s selection of Underlying Funds presents conflicts of interest. The net management fee revenue received or costs incurred by the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates will vary depending on the Underlying Funds it selects for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser will have an incentive to select the Underlying Funds (whether or not affiliated with the Sub-Adviser) that will result in the greatest net management fee revenue or lowest costs to the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates, even if that results in increased expenses and potentially less favorable investment performance for the Fund. The Sub-Adviser may prefer to invest in an affiliated Underlying Fund over an unaffiliated Underlying Fund because the investment may be beneficial to the Sub-Adviser in managing the affiliated Underlying Fund by helping the affiliated Underlying Fund achieve economies of scale or by enhancing cash flows to the affiliated Underlying Fund. For similar reasons, the Sub-Adviser may have an incentive to delay or decide against the sale of interests held by the Fund in affiliated Underlying Funds, and the Sub-Adviser may implement Underlying Fund changes in a manner intended to minimize the disruptive effects and added costs of those changes to affiliated Underlying Funds. Although the Fund may invest a portion of its assets in unaffiliated Underlying Funds, there is no assurance that it will do so even in cases where the unaffiliated Underlying Funds incur lower fees or have achieved better historical investment performance than the comparable affiliated Underlying Funds.
Asset Allocation: Investment performance depends on the manager’s skill in allocating assets among the asset classes in which the Fund invests and in choosing investments within those asset classes. There is a risk that the manager may allocate assets or investments to or within an asset class that underperforms compared to other asset classes or investments.
Bank Instruments: Bank instruments include certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits, bankers’ acceptances, and other debt and deposit-type obligations issued by banks. Changes in economic, regulatory, or political conditions, or other events that affect the banking industry may have an adverse effect on bank instruments or banking institutions that serve as counterparties in transactions with the Fund.
Borrowing: Borrowing creates leverage, which may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Fund’s other risks. Borrowing may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the Fund’s net asset value causing the Fund to be more volatile than a fund that does not borrow. Borrowing for investment purposes is considered to be speculative and may result in losses to the Fund.
Cash/Cash Equivalents: Investments in cash or cash equivalents may lower returns and result in potential lost opportunities to participate in market appreciation which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and ability to achieve its investment objective.
Company: The price of a company’s stock could decline or underperform for many reasons, including, among others, poor management, financial problems, reduced demand for the company’s goods or services, regulatory fines and judgments, or business challenges. If a company is unable to meet its financial obligations, declares bankruptcy, or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless.
Concentration (Index): To the extent that an Underlying Fund’s index “ concentrates, ” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Underlying Fund may allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the index. As a result, an Underlying Fund may be more sensitive to financial, economic, business, political, regulatory, and other developments and conditions, including natural or other disasters, affecting issuers in a particular industry or group of industries, and if securities of such industry or group of industries fall out of favor, the Underlying Fund could underperform, or be more volatile than, a fund that is more broadly invested across industries.
Convertible Securities: Convertible securities are securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stocks at a stated price or rate. Convertible securities are subject to the usual risks associated with fixed-income instruments, such as interest rate risk and credit risk. In addition, because convertible securities react to changes in the value of the underlying stock, they are subject to market risk. The value of a convertible security will normally fluctuate in some proportion to changes in the value of the underlying stock because of the conversion or exercise feature. However, the value of a convertible security may not increase or decrease as rapidly as the underlying stock. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade and therefore may be subject to greater levels of credit risk and liquidity risk.
12


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

In the event the issuer of a convertible security is unable to meet its financial obligations, declares bankruptcy, or becomes insolvent, the Fund could lose money; such events may also have the effect of reducing the Fund's distributable income. There is a risk that the Fund may convert a convertible security at an inopportune time, which may decrease the Fund’s returns.
Credit: The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed - income instrument in which the Fund invests, or the counterparty to a derivative contract the Fund entered into, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services, or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to meet its financial obligations.
Credit Default Swaps: The Fund may enter into credit default swaps, either as a buyer or a seller of the swap. A buyer of a credit default swap is generally obligated to pay the seller an upfront or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract until a credit event, such as a default, on a reference obligation has occurred. If a credit event occurs, the seller generally must pay the buyer the “par value” (full notional value) of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity described in the swap, or the seller may be required to deliver the related net cash amount if the swap is cash settled. As a seller of a credit default swap, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the full notional value of the swap. Credit default swaps are particularly subject to counterparty, credit, valuation, liquidity, and leveraging risks and the risk that the swap may not correlate with its reference obligation as expected. Certain standardized credit default swaps are subject to mandatory central clearing. Central clearing is expected to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity; however, there is no assurance that it will achieve that result, and, in the meantime, central clearing and related requirements expose the Fund to new kinds of costs and risks. In addition, credit default swaps expose the Fund to the risk of improper valuation.
Currency: To the extent that the Fund invests directly or indirectly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by the Fund through foreign currency exchange transactions. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency rates may be affected by changes in market interest rates, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, by the imposition of currency controls, or other political or economic developments in the United States or abroad.
Derivative Instruments: Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying asset, reference rate, or index credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates, liquidity risk, valuation risk, and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by the Fund. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on the Fund and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the asset, reference rate, or index being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investment, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. Generally, derivatives are sophisticated financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset, reference rate, or index. Derivatives include, among other things, swap agreements, options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and futures. Certain derivatives in which the Fund may invest may be negotiated over-the-counter with a single counterparty and as a result are subject to credit risks related to the counterparty’s ability or willingness to perform its obligations; any deterioration in the counterparty’s creditworthiness could adversely affect the value of the derivative. In addition, derivatives and their underlying instruments may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause the Fund to hold a position it might otherwise sell, or to sell a position it otherwise might hold at an inopportune time or price. A manager might imperfectly judge the direction of the market. For instance, if a derivative is used as a hedge to offset investment risk in another security, the hedge might not correlate to the market’s movements and may have unexpected or undesired results such as a loss or a reduction in gains. The U.S. government has enacted legislation that provides for new regulation of the derivatives market, including clearing, margin, reporting, and registration requirements. The European Union (and other countries outside of the European Union, including the United Kingdom) has implemented similar requirements, which may affect the Fund when it enters into a derivatives transaction with a counterparty organized in that country or otherwise subject to that country's derivatives regulations. Because these requirements are relatively new and evolving (and some of the rules are not yet final), their ultimate impact remains

unclear. Central clearing is expected to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity; however, there is no assurance that it will achieve that result, and, in the meantime, central clearing and related requirements expose the Fund to new kinds of costs and risks.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (Equity): The Sub-Adviser’s consideration of ESG factors in selecting investments for the Fund is based on information that is not standardized, some of which can be qualitative and subjective by nature. The Sub-Adviser’s assessment of ESG factors in respect of a company may rely on third party data that might be incorrect or based on incomplete or inaccurate information. There is no minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will be invested in companies that the Sub-Adviser views favorably in light of ESG factors, and the Sub-Adviser may choose not to invest in companies that compare favorably to other companies on the basis of ESG factors. It is possible that the Fund will have less exposure to certain companies due to the Sub-Adviser’s assessment of ESG factors than other comparable mutual funds. There can be no assurance that an investment selected by the Sub-Adviser, which includes its consideration of ESG factors, will provide more favorable investment performance than another potential investment, and such an investment may, in fact, underperform other potential investments.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (Fixed Income): The Sub-Adviser’s consideration of ESG factors in selecting investments for the Fund is based on information that is not standardized, some of which can be qualitative and subjective by nature. The Sub-Adviser’s assessment of ESG factors in respect of obligations of an issuer may rely on third party data that might be incorrect or based on incomplete or inaccurate information. There is no minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will be invested in obligations of issuers that the Sub-Adviser views favorably in light of ESG factors, and the Sub-Adviser may choose not to invest in obligations of issuers that compare favorably to obligations of other issuers on the basis of ESG factors. It is possible that the Fund will have less exposure to obligations of certain issuers due to the Sub-Adviser’s assessment of ESG factors than other comparable mutual funds. There can be no assurance that an investment selected by the Sub-Adviser, which includes its consideration of ESG factors, will provide more favorable investment performance than another potential investment, and such an investment may, in fact, underperform other potential investments.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (Funds-of-Funds): The Sub-Adviser’s consideration of ESG factors in selecting Underlying Funds for investment by the Fund is based on information that is not standardized, some of which can be qualitative and subjective by nature. There is no minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will be allocated to Underlying Funds on the basis of ESG factors, and the Sub-Adviser may choose to select Underlying Funds on the basis of factors or considerations other than ESG factors. It is possible that the Fund will have less exposure to ESG-focused strategies than other comparable mutual funds. There can be no assurance that an Underlying Fund selected by the Sub-Adviser, which includes its consideration of ESG factors, will provide more favorable investment performance than another potential Underlying Fund, and such an Underlying Fund may, in fact, underperform other potential Underlying Funds.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (Multi-Manager): The Investment Adviser’s consideration of ESG factors in selecting sub-advisers for the Fund is based on information that is not standardized, some of which can be qualitative and subjective by nature. There is no minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will be allocated to sub-advisers that consider ESG factors as part of their investment processes, and the Investment Adviser may choose to select sub-advisers that do not consider ESG factors as part of their investment processes. It is possible that the Fund will have less exposure to ESG-focused strategies than other comparable mutual funds. There can be no assurance that a sub-adviser selected by the Investment Adviser, which includes its consideration of ESG factors, will provide more favorable investment performance than another potential sub-adviser, and such a sub-adviser may, in fact, underperform other potential sub-advisers.
Floating Rate Loans: In the event a borrower fails to pay scheduled interest or principal payments on a floating rate loan (which can include certain bank loans), the Fund will experience a reduction in its income and a decline in the market value of such floating rate loan. If a floating rate loan is held by the Fund through another financial institution, or the Fund relies upon another financial institution to administer the loan, the receipt of scheduled interest or principal payments may be subject to the credit risk of such financial institution. Investors in floating rate loans may not be afforded the protections of the anti-fraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because loans may not be considered “securities” under such laws. Additionally, the value of collateral, if any, securing a floating rate loan can decline or may be insufficient to meet the borrower’s obligations under the loan, and such collateral may be difficult to liquidate. No active trading market may exist for
14


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

many floating rate loans and many floating rate loans are subject to restrictions on resale. Transactions in loans typically settle on a delayed basis and may take longer than 7 days to settle. As a result, the Fund may not receive the proceeds from a sale of a floating rate loan for a significant period of time. Delay in the receipts of settlement proceeds may impair the ability of the Fund to meet its redemption obligations, and may limit the ability of the Fund to repay debt, pay dividends, or to take advantage of new investment opportunities.
Focused Investing (Index): To the extent that an Underlying Fund’s benchmark or other index is substantially composed of securities in a particular industry, sector, market segment, or geographic area, the Underlying Fund may allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as the index as part of its investment strategy. As a result, an Underlying Fund may be more sensitive to financial, economic, business, political, regulatory, and other developments and conditions, including natural or other disasters, affecting issuers in a particular industry, sector, market segment, or geographic area in which the Underlying Fund focuses its investments, and if securities of such industry, sector, market segment, or geographic area fall out of favor, the Underlying Fund could underperform, or be more volatile than, a fund that has greater diversification.
Industrials Sector: Companies involved in the industrials sector include those whose businesses are dominated by one of the following activities: the manufacture and distribution of capital goods, including aerospace and defense, construction, engineering and building products, electrical equipment, and industrial machinery; the provision of commercial services and supplies, including printing, employment, environmental, and office services; and the provision of transportation services, including airlines, couriers, marine, road and rail, and transportation infrastructure. Companies involved in the industrials sector are affected by changes in the supply and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability, and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Materials Sector: Companies involved in the materials sector includes companies in the following industry groups: forestry and paper, chemicals, industrial metals, and mining. Investments in companies involved in the materials sector may be adversely impacted by changes in commodity prices or exchange rates, depletion of resources, over-production, litigation, and government regulations, among other factors. The chemicals industry may be significantly affected by intense competition, product obsolescence, raw materials prices, and government regulation, and may be subject to risks associated with the production, handling, disposal of hazardous components, and litigation and claims arising out of environmental contamination.
Technology Sector: Investments in companies involved in the technology sector are subject to significant competitive pressures, such as aggressive pricing of products or services, new market entrants, competition for market share, short product cycles due to an accelerated rate of technological developments, evolving industry standards, changing customer demands, and the potential for limited earnings and/or falling profit margins. The failure of a company to adapt to such changes could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. These companies also face the risks that new services, equipment, or technologies will not be accepted by consumers and businesses or will become rapidly obsolete. These factors can affect the profitability of these companies and, as a result, the values of their securities. Many companies involved in the technology sector have limited operating histories, and prices of these companies’ securities historically have been more volatile than those of many other companies’ securities, especially over the short term.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets: To the extent the Fund invests in securities of issuers in markets outside the U.S., its share price may be more volatile than if it invested in securities of issuers in the U.S. market due to, among other things, the following factors: comparatively unstable political, social and economic conditions and limited or ineffectual judicial systems; wars; comparatively small market sizes, making securities less liquid and securities prices more sensitive to the movements of large investors and more vulnerable to manipulation; governmental policies or actions, such as high taxes, restrictions on currency movements, replacement of currency, potential for default on sovereign debt, trade or diplomatic disputes, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions or other measures by the U.S. or other governments and supranational organizations, creation of monopolies, and seizure of private property through confiscatory taxation and expropriation or nationalization of company assets; incomplete, outdated, or unreliable information about securities issuers due to less stringent market regulation and accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices; comparatively undeveloped markets and weak banking and financial systems; market inefficiencies, such as higher transaction costs, and administrative difficulties, such as delays in processing transactions; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which could reduce

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

gains or widen losses. Economic or other sanctions imposed on a foreign (non-U.S.) country or issuer by the U.S. or on the U.S. by a foreign (non-U.S.) country, could impair the Fund's ability to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver, or otherwise transact in certain securities. In addition, foreign withholding or other taxes could reduce the income available to distribute to shareholders, and special U.S. tax considerations could apply to foreign (non-U.S.) investments. Depositary receipts are subject to risks of foreign (non-U.S.) investments and might not always track the price of the underlying foreign (non-U.S.) security. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country, or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country, or region. Foreign (non-U.S.) investment risks may be greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets, for such reasons as social or political unrest, heavy economic dependence on international aid, agriculture or exports (particularly commodities), undeveloped or overburdened infrastructures and legal systems, vulnerability to natural disasters, significant and unpredictable government intervention in markets or the economy, volatile currency exchange rates, currency devaluations, runaway inflation, business practices that depart from norms for developed countries, and generally less developed or liquid markets. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign (non-U.S.) countries. Investors in foreign (non-U.S.) countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign (non-U.S.) issuers or persons is limited. In March 2017, the United Kingdom (“UK”) formally notified the European Council of its intention to leave the EU and on January 31, 2020 withdrew from the EU (commonly known as “Brexit”). On December 30, 2020, the UK voted in favor of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. The agreement governs the new relationship between the UK and the EU with respect to trading goods and services but critical aspects of the relationship remain unresolved and subject to further negotiation and agreement. Brexit has resulted in volatility in European and global markets and could have negative long-term impacts on financial markets in the UK and throughout Europe. There is considerable uncertainty about the potential consequences of Brexit and how the financial markets will react. As this process unfolds, markets may be further disrupted. Given the size and importance of the UK’s economy, uncertainty about its legal, political, and economic relationship with the remaining member states of the EU may continue to be a source of instability. In addition, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) could cause securities of a foreign (non-U.S.) company, including American Depositary Receipts, to be delisted from U.S. stock exchanges if the company does not allow the U.S. government to oversee the auditing of its financial information. Although the requirements of the HFCAA apply to securities of all foreign (non-U.S.) issuers, the SEC has thus far limited its enforcement efforts to securities of Chinese companies. If securities are delisted, the Fund’s ability to transact in such securities will be impaired, and the liquidity and market price of the securities may decline. The Fund may also need to seek other markets in which to transact in such securities, which could increase the Fund’s costs.
Growth Investing: Prices of growth-oriented stocks are more sensitive to investor perceptions of the issuer’s growth potential and may fall quickly and significantly if investors suspect that actual growth may be less than expected. There is a risk that funds that invest in growth-oriented stocks may underperform other funds that invest more broadly. Growth-oriented stocks tend to be more volatile than value-oriented stocks, and may underperform the market as a whole over any given time period. Growth-oriented stocks typically sell at relatively high valuations as compared to other types of securities. Securities of growth companies may be more volatile than other stocks because they usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, and they may lack the dividends of value-oriented stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. The market may not favor growth-oriented stocks or may not favor equities at all. In addition, earnings disappointments may lead to sharply falling prices because investors buy growth-oriented stocks in anticipation of superior earnings growth. Historically, growth-oriented stocks have been more volatile than value-oriented stocks.
High-Yield Securities: Lower-quality securities (including securities that have fallen below investment grade and are classified as “junk bonds” or “high-yield securities”) have greater credit risk and liquidity risk than higher-quality (investment grade) securities, and their issuers' long-term ability to make payments is considered speculative. Prices of lower-quality bonds or other fixed-income instruments are also more volatile, are more sensitive to negative news about the economy or the issuer, and have greater liquidity risk and price volatility.
Index Strategy (Funds-of-Funds): An Underlying Fund (or a portion of the Underlying Fund) that seeks to track an index’s performance and does not use defensive strategies or attempt to reduce its exposure to poor performing securities in an index may underperform the overall market (each, an “Underlying Index Fund”). To the extent an Underlying
16


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

Index Fund’s investments track its target index, such Underlying Index Fund may underperform other funds that invest more broadly. Errors in index data, index computations or the construction of the index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the index provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund. The correlation between an Underlying Index Fund’s performance and index performance may be affected by the timing of purchases and redemptions of the Underlying Index Fund's shares. The correlation between an Underlying Index Fund’s performance and index performance will be reduced by the Underlying Index Fund’s expenses and could be reduced by the timing of purchases and redemptions of the Underlying Index Fund’s shares. In addition, an Underlying Index Fund’s actual holdings might not match the index and an Underlying Index Fund’s effective exposure to index securities at any given time may not precisely correlate. When deciding between Underlying Index Funds benchmarked to the same index, the manager may not select the Underlying Index Fund with the lowest expenses. If the Fund invests in an Underlying Index Fund with higher expenses, the Fund's performance would be lower than if the Fund had invested in an Underlying Index Fund with comparable performance but lower expenses (although any expense limitation arrangements in place at the time might have the effect of limiting or eliminating the amount of that underperformance).
Interest Rate: A rise in market interest rates generally results in a fall in the value of bonds and other fixed-income instruments; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is to changes in market interest rates. Duration is a measure of sensitivity of the price of a fixed-income instrument to a change in interest rate. As of the date of this Prospectus, the U.S. is experiencing a rising market interest rate environment, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. To the extent that the Fund invests in fixed-income instruments, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. Increased redemptions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so and may lower returns. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential future changes in government policy may affect interest rates. Negative or very low interest rates could magnify the risks associated with changes in interest rates. In general, changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. Changes to monetary policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board or other regulatory actions could expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity, and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations and return potential.
Investment Model: The Sub-Adviser’s proprietary model may not adequately take into account existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors. Proprietary models used by the Sub-Adviser to evaluate securities or securities markets are based on the Sub-Adviser’s understanding of the interplay of market factors and do not assure successful investment. The markets, or the price of individual securities, may be affected by factors not foreseen in the construction of the models. Funds that are actively managed, in whole or in part, according to a quantitative investment model can perform differently from the market, based on the investment model and the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor, and changes from the factors’ historical trends. Mistakes in the construction and implementation of the investment models (including, for example, data problems and/or software issues) may create errors or limitations that might go undetected or are discovered only after the errors or limitations have negatively impacted performance. There is no guarantee that the use of these investment models will result in effective investment decisions for the Fund.
Interest in Loans: The value and the income streams of interests in loans (including participation interests in lease financings and assignments in secured variable or floating rate loans) will decline if borrowers delay payments or fail to pay altogether. A significant rise in market interest rates could increase this risk. Although loans may be fully collateralized when purchased, such collateral may become illiquid or decline in value.
Investing through Bond Connect: Chinese fixed-income instruments trade on the China Interbank Bond Market (the “CIBM”) and may be purchased through a market access program, known as “Bond Connect,” that is designed to, among other things, enable foreign (non-U.S.) investment in the People’s Republic of China. There are significant risks inherent in investing in Chinese fixed-income instruments, similar to the risks of investing in fixed-income instruments in other emerging markets. The prices of fixed-income instruments traded on the CIBM may fluctuate significantly due
17


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

to low trading volume and potential lack of liquidity. The rules to access fixed-income instruments that trade on the CIBM through Bond Connect are relatively new and subject to change, which may adversely affect the Fund's ability to invest in these instruments and to enforce its rights as a beneficial owner of these instruments. Trading through Bond Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns.
The Chinese economy is generally considered an emerging and volatile market. Although China has experienced a relatively stable political environment in recent years, there is no guarantee that such stability will be maintained in the future. Political, regulatory and diplomatic events, such as the U.S.-China “trade war” that intensified in 2018, could have an adverse effect on the Chinese or Hong Kong economies and on investments made through Bond Connect.
Investing through Stock Connect: Shares in mainland China-based companies that trade on Chinese stock exchanges such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“China A-Shares”) may be purchased directly or indirectly through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect (“Stock Connect”), a mutual market access program designed to, among other things, enable foreign investment in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) via brokers in Hong Kong. There are significant risks inherent in investing in China A-Shares through Stock Connect. The underdeveloped state of PRC’s investment and banking systems subjects the settlement, clearing, and registration of China A-Shares transactions to heightened risks. Stock Connect can only operate when both PRC and Hong Kong markets are open for trading and when banking services are available in both markets on the corresponding settlement days. As such, if either or both markets are closed on a U.S. trading day, the Fund may not be able to dispose of its China A-Shares in a timely manner, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
The Chinese economy is generally considered an emerging and volatile market. Significant portions of the Chinese securities markets may become rapidly illiquid because Chinese issuers have the ability to suspend the trading of their equity securities under certain circumstances, and have shown a willingness to exercise that option in response to market volatility, epidemics, pandemics, adverse economic, market or political events, and other events. In addition, there may be restrictions on investments in Chinese companies. For example, on November 12, 2020, the President of the United States signed an Executive Order prohibiting U.S. persons from purchasing or investing in publicly-traded securities of companies identified by the U.S. government as “Communist Chinese military companies.” The list of such companies can change from time to time, and as a result of forced selling or inability to participate in an investment the Investment Adviser/Sub-Adviser otherwise believes is attractive, the Fund may incur losses.
Many Chinese companies use a structure known as a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) to address Chinese restrictions on direct foreign investment in Chinese companies operating in certain sectors. The Fund’s investment exposure to VIEs may pose additional risks because the Fund’s investment is not made directly in the VIE (the actual Chinese operating company), but rather in a holding company domiciled outside of China (a “Holding Company”) whose interests in the business of the underlying Chinese operating company (the VIE) are established through contracts rather than through equity ownership. The VIE (which the Fund is restricted from owning under Chinese law) is generally owned by Chinese nationals, and the Holding Company (in which the Fund invests) holds only contractual rights (rather than equity ownership) relating to the VIE, typically including a contractual claim on the VIE’s profits. Shares of the Holding Company, in turn, are traded on exchanges outside of China and are available to non-Chinese investors such as the Fund. While the VIE structure is a longstanding practice in China, until recently, such arrangements had not been formally recognized under Chinese law. However, in late 2021, the Chinese government signaled its interest in implementing filing requirement rules that would both affirm the legality of VIE structures and regulate them. How these filing requirements will operate in practice, and what will be required for approval, remains unclear. While there is optimism that these actions will reduce uncertainty over Chinese actions on VIEs, there is also caution given how unresolved the process is. Until these rules are finalized, and potentially afterwards depending on how they are implemented, there remains significant uncertainty associated with VIE investments. There is a risk that the Chinese government may cease to tolerate VIE structures at any time or impose new restrictions on the structure, in each case either generally or with respect to specific issuers. In such a scenario, the Chinese operating company could be subject to penalties, including revocation of its business and operating license, or the Holding Company could forfeit its interest in the business of the Chinese operating company. Further, in case of a dispute between the Holding Company investors and the Chinese owners of the VIE, the Holding Company’s contractual claims with respect to the VIE may be unenforceable in China, thus limiting the remedies and rights of Holding Company investors such as the Fund. Control over a VIE may also be jeopardized if a natural person who holds the equity interest in the VIE breaches the terms of the contractual arrangements, is subject to legal proceedings, or if any physical instruments or property of the VIE, such as seals, business registration certificates, financial data and licensing arrangements (sometimes referred to as “chops”), are used without authorization. In the event of such an occurrence, the Fund, as a foreign investor, may have little or no legal recourse. Such legal
18


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

uncertainty may be exploited against the interests of the Holding Company investors such as the Fund. The Fund will typically have little or no ability to influence the VIE through proxy voting or other means because it is not a VIE owner/shareholder. Foreign (non-U.S.) companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States, including companies using the VIE structure, could also face delisting or other ramifications for failure to meet the expectations and/or requirements of the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or other U.S. regulators. Any of these risks could reduce the liquidity and value of the Fund’s investments in Holding Companies or render them valueless.
Issuer Non-Diversification: A non-diversified investment company is subject to the risks of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. Funds that are non-diversified may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer (such as bonds issued by a particular state) than funds that are diversified and could underperform compared to such funds. 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, the Fund would benefit less from appreciation in a single issuer than if it had greater exposure to that issuer.
Liquidity: If a security is illiquid, the Fund might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Fund’s manager might wish to sell, or at all. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, exposing the Fund to the risk that the prices at which it sells illiquid securities will be less than the prices at which they were valued when held by the Fund, which could cause the Fund to lose money. The prices of illiquid securities may be more volatile than more liquid securities, and the risks associated with illiquid securities may be greater in times of financial stress.
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate: The obligations of the parties under many financial arrangements, such as fixed-income instruments (including senior loans) and derivatives, may be determined based, in whole or in part, on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced its intention to cease compelling banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR after 2021. ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publication of most LIBOR settings on a representative basis at the end of 2021 and is expected to cease publication of a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on a representative basis after June 30, 2023. In addition, global regulators have announced that, with limited exceptions, no new LIBOR-based contracts should be entered into after 2021. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in many major currencies, including for example, the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) for U.S. dollar LIBOR. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities in the repurchase agreement market. SOFR is published in various forms, including as a daily, compounded, and forward-looking term rate. The discontinuance of LIBOR and the adoption/implementation of alternative rates pose a number of risks, including, among others, whether any substitute rate will experience the market participation and liquidity necessary to provide a workable substitute for LIBOR; the effect on parties’ existing contractual arrangements, hedging transactions, and investment strategies generally from a conversion from LIBOR to alternative rates; the effect on the Fund’s existing investments, including the possibility that some of those investments may terminate or their terms may be adjusted to the disadvantage of the Fund; and the risk of general market disruption during the transition period. Markets relying on alternative rates are developing slowly and may offer limited liquidity. The general unavailability of LIBOR and the transition away from LIBOR to alternative rates could have a substantial adverse impact on the performance of the Fund.
Market: The market values of securities will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions, governmental actions or intervention, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, and other factors. Prices of equity securities tend to rise and fall more dramatically than those of fixed-income instruments. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax policies or developments may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives.
Market Capitalization: Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories: large, mid, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies causing a fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in large-capitalization companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower
19


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, more limited publicly available information, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with large-capitalization companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may be more volatile and may decline significantly in market downturns.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical: The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events that have led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S., and global economies and markets, generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of the Fund’s investments, including beyond the Fund’s direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. Those events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund’s service providers.
Mid-Capitalization Company: Investments in mid-capitalization companies may involve greater risk than is customarily associated with larger, more established companies due to the greater business risks of a limited operating history, smaller size, limited markets, and financial resources, narrow product lines, less management depth, and more reliance on key personnel. Consequently, the securities of mid-capitalization companies may have limited market stability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than securities of larger, more established growth companies or the market averages in general.
Mortgage- and/or Asset-Backed Securities: Defaults on, or low credit quality or liquidity of, the underlying assets of the asset-backed (including mortgage-backed) securities may impair the value of these securities and result in losses. There may be limitations on the enforceability of any security interest or collateral granted with respect to those underlying assets, and the value of collateral may not satisfy the obligation upon default. These securities also present a higher degree of prepayment and extension risk and interest rate risk than do other types of fixed-income instruments. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain asset-backed securities. The value of longer-term securities generally changes more in response to changes in market interest rates than shorter-term securities.
These securities may be affected significantly by government regulation, market interest rates, market perception of the creditworthiness of an issuer servicer, and loan-to-value ratio of the underlying assets. During an economic downturn, the mortgages, commercial or consumer loans, trade or credit card receivables, installment purchase obligations, leases, or other debt obligations underlying an asset-backed security may experience an increase in defaults as borrowers experience difficulties in repaying their loans which may cause the valuation of such securities to be more volatile and may reduce the value of such securities. These risks are particularly heightened for investments in asset-backed securities that contain sub-prime loans, which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories and often have higher default rates.
Municipal Obligations: The municipal securities market is volatile and can be affected significantly by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities. Among other risks, investments in municipal securities are subject to the risk that an issuer may delay payment, restructure its debt, or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its debt. Municipal revenue obligations may be backed by the revenues generated from a specific project or facility and include industrial development bonds and private activity bonds. Private activity and industrial development bonds are dependent on the ability of the facility’s user to meet its financial obligations and the value of any real or personal property pledged as security for such payment. Many municipal securities are issued to finance projects relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities. Conditions in those sectors may affect the overall municipal securities market. In addition, municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific asset may be adversely affected by the discontinuance of the taxation
20


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

supporting the project or asset or the inability to collect revenues from the project or asset. If an issuer of a municipal security does not comply with applicable tax requirements for tax-exempt status, interest from the security may become taxable, and the security could decline in value.
Other Investment Companies: The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including ETFs , is the risk that the value of an investment company’s underlying investments might decrease. Shares of investment companies that are listed on an exchange may trade at a discount or premium from their net asset value. You will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the Fund’s expenses. The investment policies of the other investment companies may not be the same as those of the Fund; as a result, an investment in the other investment companies may be subject to additional or different risks than those to which the Fund is typically subject. ETFs are exchange-traded investment companies that are, in many cases, designed to provide investment results corresponding to an index. Additional risks of investments in ETFs include that: (i) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (ii) trading may be halted if the listing exchanges’ officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from an exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts trading of an ETF’s shares. Other investment companies include Holding Company Depositary Receipts (“HOLDRs”). Because HOLDRs concentrate in the stocks of a particular industry, trends in that industry may have a dramatic impact on their value. In addition, shares of ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and are subject to secondary market trading risks. Secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods in times of market stress because market makers and authorized participants may step away from making a market in an ETF’s shares, which could cause a material decline in the ETF’s net asset value.
Prepayment and Extension: Many types of fixed-income instruments are subject to prepayment and extension risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer of a fixed-income instrument will pay back the principal earlier than expected. This risk is heightened in a falling market interest rate environment. Prepayment may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. Also, if a fixed-income instrument subject to prepayment has been purchased at a premium, the value of the premium would be lost in the event of prepayment. Extension risk is the risk that the issuer of a fixed-income instrument will pay back the principal later than expected. This risk is heightened in a rising market interest rate environment. This may negatively affect performance, as the value of the fixed-income instrument decreases when principal payments are made later than expected. Additionally, the Fund may be prevented from investing proceeds it would have received at a given time at the higher prevailing interest rates.
Real Estate Companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts: Investing in real estate companies and REITs may subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, market interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes, overbuilding, high foreclosure rates, and operating expenses in addition to terrorist attacks, wars, or other acts that destroy real property. Some REITs may invest in a limited number of properties, in a narrow geographic area or in a single property type, which increases the risk that the Fund could be unfavorably affected by the poor performance of a single investment or investment type. These companies are also sensitive to factors such as changes in real estate values and property taxes, market interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Borrowers could default on or sell investments the REIT holds, which could reduce the cash flow needed to make distributions to investors. In addition, REITs may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements in that a REIT may not qualify for favorable tax treatment or regulatory exemptions. Investments in REITs are affected by the management skill of the REIT’s sponsor. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests.
Restricted Securities: Securities that are not registered for sale to the public under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are referred to as “restricted securities.” These securities may be sold in private placement transactions between issuers and their purchasers and may be neither listed on an exchange nor traded in other established markets, and often, these securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. As a result of the absence of a public trading market, the prices of these securities may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to value than publicly traded securities. The price realized from the sale of these securities could be less than the amount originally
21


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

paid or less than their fair value if they are resold in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, these securities may not be subject to disclosure and other investment protection requirements that are afforded to publicly traded securities. Certain investments may include investment in smaller, less seasoned issuers, which may involve greater risk.
Securities Lending: Securities lending involves two primary risks: “ investment risk ” and “ borrower default risk. ” When lending securities, the Fund will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value, causing the Fund to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Fund’s other risks.
The Fund seeks to minimize investment risk by limiting the investment of cash collateral to high-quality instruments of short maturity. In the event of a borrower default, the Fund will be protected to the extent the Fund is able to exercise its rights in the collateral promptly and the value of such collateral is sufficient to purchase replacement securities. The Fund is protected by its securities lending agent, which has agreed to indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from borrower default.
Small-Capitalization Company: Investments in small-capitalization companies may involve greater risk than is customarily associated with larger, more established companies due to the greater business risks of a limited operating history, small size, limited markets and financial resources, narrow product lines, less management depth and more reliance on key personnel. The securities of small-capitalization companies are subject to liquidity risk as they are often traded over-the-counter and may not be traded in volumes typically seen on national securities exchanges.
Sovereign Debt: Sovereign debt is issued or guaranteed by foreign (non-U.S.) government entities. Investments in sovereign debt are subject to the risk that a government entity may delay payment, restructure its debt, or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt due to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, social changes, the relative size of its debt position to its economy, or its failure to put in place economic reforms required by the International Monetary Fund or other multilateral agencies. If a government entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for further loans. There is no legal process for collecting amounts owed on sovereign debt that a government does not pay.
Underlying Funds: Because the Fund invests primarily in Underlying Funds, the investment performance of the Fund is directly related to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. When the Fund invests in an Underlying Fund, it is exposed indirectly to the risks of a direct investment in the Underlying Fund. If the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a single Underlying Fund, it may be more susceptible to risks associated with that Underlying Fund and its investments than if it invested in a broader range of Underlying Funds. It is possible that more than one Underlying Fund will hold securities of the same issuers, thereby increasing the Fund’s indirect exposure to those issuers. It also is possible that one Underlying Fund may be selling a particular security when another is buying it, producing little or no change in exposure but generating transaction costs and/or resulting in realization of gains with no economic benefit. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of any Underlying Fund will be achieved. In addition, the Fund’s shareholders will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the Underlying Funds’ fees and expenses, in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund itself.
U.S. Government Securities and Obligations: U.S. government securities are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its agencies, or government-sponsored enterprises. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk and interest rate risk, and may be subject to varying degrees of credit risk. Some U.S. government securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and are guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the U.S. Treasury. These include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury such as U.S. Treasury notes, bills, and bonds, as well as indirect obligations including certain securities of the Government National Mortgage Association, the Small Business Administration, and the Farmers Home Administration, among others. Other U.S. government securities are not direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, but rather are backed by the ability to borrow directly from the U.S. Treasury, including certain securities of the Federal Financing Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, and the U.S. Postal Service. Other U.S. government securities are backed solely by the credit of the agency or instrumentality itself and are neither guaranteed nor insured by the U.S. government and, therefore, involve greater risk. These include securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the Federal Farm Credit Bank,
22


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

among others. Consequently, the investor must look principally to the agency issuing or guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to such agencies if it is not obligated to do so by law. The impact of greater governmental scrutiny into the operations of certain agencies and government-sponsored enterprises may adversely affect the value of securities issued by these entities. U.S. government securities may be subject to price declines due to changing market interest rates. From time to time, uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt ceiling could increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government securities, cause the credit rating of the U.S. government to be downgraded, increase volatility in the stock and bond markets, result in higher interest rates, reduce prices of U.S. Treasury securities, and/or increase the costs of various kinds of debt. If a U.S. government-sponsored entity is negatively impacted by legislative or regulatory action (or lack thereof), is unable to meet its obligations, or its creditworthiness declines, the performance of the Fund that holds securities of the entity will be adversely impacted.
Value Investing: Securities that appear to be undervalued may never appreciate to the extent expected. Further, because the prices of value-oriented securities tend to correlate more closely with economic cycles than growth-oriented securities, they generally are more sensitive to changing economic conditions, such as changes in market interest rates, corporate earnings and industrial production. The manager may be wrong in its assessment of a company’s value and the securities the Fund holds may not reach their full values. Risks associated with value investing include that a security that is perceived by the manager to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced and, thus, may not appreciate and provide anticipated capital growth. The market may not favor value-oriented securities and may not favor equities at all. During those periods, the Fund’s relative performance may suffer. There is a risk that funds that invest in value-oriented securities may underperform other funds that invest more broadly.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Transactions: When-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. These transactions may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value, causing the Fund to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Fund’s other risks. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Fund loses both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security’s price.
Zero-Coupon Bonds and Pay-in-Kind Securities: Zero-coupon bonds and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in price due to market interest rate changes than conventional interest-bearing securities. The Fund may have to pay out the imputed income on zero-coupon bonds without receiving the actual cash currency, resulting in a loss.
Further Information About Principal Risks
The following provides additional information about certain aspects of the principal risks described above.
Counterparty: The entity with which the Fund conducts portfolio-related business (such as trading or securities lending), or that underwrites, distributes or guarantees investments or agreements that the Fund owns or is otherwise exposed to, may refuse or may become unable to honor its obligations under the terms of a transaction or agreement. As a result, the Fund may sustain losses and be less likely to achieve its investment objective. These risks may be greater when engaging in over-the-counter transactions or when the Fund conducts business with a limited number of counterparties.
Duration: One measure of risk for fixed-income instruments is duration. Duration measures the sensitivity of a bond’s price to market interest rate movements and is one of the tools used by a portfolio manager in selecting fixed-income instruments. Duration measures the average life of a bond on a present value basis by incorporating into one measure a bond’s yield, coupons, final maturity and call features. As a point of reference, the duration of a non-callable 7% coupon bond with a remaining maturity of 5 years is approximately 4.5 years and the duration of a non-callable 7% coupon bond with a remaining maturity of 10 years is approximately 8 years. Material changes in market interest rates may impact the duration calculation. For example, the price of a bond with an average duration of 5 years would be expected to fall approximately 5% if market interest rates rose by 1%. Conversely, the price of a bond with an average duration of 5 years would be expected to rise approximately 5% if market interest rates dropped by 1%.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND (continued)

Inflation: Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from the Fund's investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of payments at future dates. As inflation increases, the value of the Fund’s portfolio could decline. Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors and the Fund's investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in losses to the Fund’s investors or adversely affect the value of shareholders' investments in the Fund. Inflation has recently increased, and it cannot be predicted whether it may decline.
Investment by Other Funds: Certain funds-of-funds, including some Voya mutual funds, may be allowed to invest in the Underlying Funds. In some cases, an Underlying Fund may serve as a primary or significant investment vehicle for a fund-of-funds. If investments by these other funds result in large inflows of cash to or outflows of cash from the Underlying Fund, the Underlying Fund could be required to sell securities or invest cash at times, or in ways, that could, among other things, negatively impact its performance, speed the realization of capital gains, increase its portfolio turnover, affect the liquidity of its portfolio, or increase transaction costs. Certain investments by funds-of-funds in an Underlying Fund may limit the ability of the Underlying Fund to invest in other investment companies, including private funds. The risks described above will be greater to the extent that one or a few shareholders own a significant portion of the Underlying Fund.
Leverage: Certain transactions and investment strategies may give rise to leverage. Such transactions and investment strategies include, but are not limited to: borrowing, dollar rolls, reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, short sales, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. The use of certain derivatives may also increase leveraging risk and, in some cases, adverse changes in the value or level of a derivative’s underlying asset, rate, or index may result in potentially unlimited losses. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value, causing the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Fund’s other risks. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet regulatory requirements resulting in increased volatility of returns.
Manager: The Fund, and each Underlying Fund, is subject to manager risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Investment Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, or each individual portfolio manager will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions, but there can be no guarantee that these will produce the desired results. The loss of their services could have an adverse impact on the Investment Adviser’s or Sub-Adviser’s ability to achieve the investment objectives.
Operational: The Fund, its service providers, and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information technology and communications systems to conduct business functions. These systems are subject to a number of different threats or risks that could adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, despite the efforts of the Fund and its service providers to adopt technologies, processes, and practices intended to mitigate these risks. Cyber-attacks, disruptions, or failures that affect the Fund’s service providers, counterparties, market participants, or issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, including by causing losses or impairing the Fund’s operations. Information relating to the Fund’s investments has been and will in the future be delivered electronically, which can give rise to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the risks that such communications may not be secure and may contain computer viruses or other defects, may not be accurately replicated on other systems, or may be intercepted, deleted or interfered with, without the knowledge of the sender or the intended recipient.

KEY INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNDERLYING FUNDS

The Fund seeks to meet its investment objectives by allocating its assets among Underlying Funds. The information set out below is excerpted from an Underlying Fund's current prospectus as of this date and provides a brief description of the Underlying Fund. It is intended to provide investors some idea of the types of Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.
The Fund may or may not invest in each of the Underlying Funds listed below, and the Fund may invest in Underlying Funds not listed below. The amount of the Fund’s assets invested in any particular Underlying Fund will change from time to time, and it is impossible to predict the extent to which the Fund may be invested in any particular Underlying Fund or Underlying Funds at any time.
The Investment Adviser and Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (the “Distributor”) (together “Voya”) have implemented fee waivers and expense limitations for various classes of shares of some of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest. The effect of those fee waivers and expense limitations is to reduce the total net expense ratios of certain of those share classes to a level below those of other share classes. The Fund may not be eligible to invest in the lowest expense share classes of the Underlying Funds. As a result, the Fund will incur Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses at rates higher than will certain other funds-of-funds that are sponsored by Voya and that invest in the same Underlying Funds. The determination as to the Fund’s eligibility for investment in a lower-cost share class will generally be based on, among other factors, an assessment of the desirability of offering a relatively low-priced share class in certain sales channels or through certain products and any anticipated direct or indirect financial benefit to the Fund, a fund-of-funds investing in that share class, or Voya.

Voya Investments began business as an investment adviser in 1994 and currently serves as investment adviser to certain registered investment companies, consisting of open- and closed-end registered investment companies and collateralized loan obligations. Voya Investments is an indirect subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. Voya Financial, Inc. is a U.S.-based financial institution whose subsidiaries operate in the retirement, investment, and insurance industries.
Voya Investments' principal office is located at 7337 East Doubletree Ranch Road, Suite 100, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258. As of December 31, 2022, Voya Investments managed approximately $73.2 billion in assets.

The Investment Adviser is responsible for all of its own costs, including costs of the personnel required to carry out its duties.
The following table shows the aggregate annual management fee paid by the Fund for the most recent fiscal year as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
 
Management Fee

For information regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory relationships, please refer to the Fund’s unaudited semi-annual shareholder report which will cover the six-month period ending April 30, 2023.
The Sub-Adviser and Portfolio Manager
The Investment Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser to provide the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. The Sub-Adviser is an affiliate of the Investment Adviser.
The Investment Adviser acts as a “manager-of-managers” for the Fund. The Investment Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to the oversight of the Fund’s Board, to oversee any sub-advisers and to recommend the hiring, termination, or replacement of sub-advisers. The Fund and the Investment Adviser have received exemptive relief from the SEC which permits the Investment Adviser, with the approval of the Board but without obtaining shareholder approval, to enter into or materially amend a sub-advisory agreement with sub-advisers that are not affiliated with the Investment Adviser (“non-affiliated sub-advisers”) as well as sub-advisers that are indirect or direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Investment Adviser or of another company that, indirectly or directly wholly owns the Investment Adviser (“wholly-owned sub-advisers”).
Consistent with the “manager-of-managers” structure, the Investment Adviser delegates to the Sub-Adviser of the Fund the responsibility for asset allocation amongst the Underlying Funds, subject to the Investment Adviser’s oversight. The Investment Adviser is responsible for, among other things, monitoring the investment program and performance of the Sub-Adviser. Pursuant to the exemptive relief, the Investment Adviser, with the approval of the Board, has the discretion to terminate any sub-adviser (including terminating a non-affiliated sub-adviser and replacing it with a wholly-owned sub-adviser), and to allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among other sub-advisers.
The Investment Adviser’s selection of sub-advisers presents conflicts of interest. The Investment Adviser will have an economic incentive to select sub-advisers that charge the lowest sub-advisory fees, to select sub-advisers affiliated with it, or to manage a portion of the Fund itself. The Investment Adviser may retain an affiliated sub-adviser (or delay terminating an affiliated sub-adviser) in order to help that sub-adviser achieve or maintain scale in an investment strategy or increase its assets under management. The Investment Adviser may select or retain an affiliated sub-adviser even in cases where another potential sub-adviser or an existing sub-adviser might charge a lower fee or have more favorable historical investment performance.
29


MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND (continued)

In the event that the Investment Adviser exercises its discretion to replace a sub-adviser or appoint a new sub-adviser, the Fund will provide shareholders with information about the new sub-adviser and the new sub-advisory agreement within 90 days. The replacement of an existing sub-adviser or the appointment of a new sub-adviser may be accompanied by a change to the name of the Fund and a change to the investment strategies of the Fund.
A sub-advisory agreement can be terminated by the Investment Adviser, the Board, or the Sub-Adviser, provided that the conditions of such termination, as set forth in the agreement, are met. In addition, the sub-advisory agreement may be terminated by the Fund’s shareholders. In the event a sub-advisory agreement is terminated, the Sub-Adviser may be replaced, subject to any regulatory requirements, or the Investment Adviser may assume day-to-day investment management of the Fund.
The “manager-of-managers” structure and reliance on the exemptive relief has been approved by the Fund’s shareholders.

CLASSES OF SHARES

Choosing a Share Class
When choosing between classes, you should carefully consider: (1) how long you plan to hold shares of the Fund; (2) the amount of your investment; (3) the expenses you will pay for each class, including ongoing annual expenses along with the initial sales charge or the contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”); and (4) whether you qualify for any sales charge discounts. Please review the disclosure about all of the available share classes carefully. Before investing, you should discuss with your financial intermediary which share class may be right for you.
The table below summarizes the features of the classes of shares available through this Prospectus. Fund charges may vary so you should review the Fund's fee table included in the summary section of this Prospectus as well as the section entitled “Sales Charges” in this Prospectus.

For Class I shares, there is no minimum initial investment requirement for: (i) qualified retirement plans or other defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans that invest in the Voya funds through omnibus arrangements; (ii) employees of Voya IM who are eligible to participate in “notional” bonus programs sponsored by Voya IM; or (iii) (a) investors transacting in Class I shares through brokerage platforms that invest in the Voya funds’ Class I shares through omnibus accounts and have agreements with the Distributor to offer such shares and (b) such brokerage platforms’ omnibus accounts.
Please refer to the minimum investments table on page 41 for additional information.
The relative impact of the initial sales charge, if applicable, and ongoing annual expenses will depend on the length of time a share is held. Higher distribution fees mean a higher expense ratio, so Class C shares pay correspondingly lower dividends and may have a lower net asset value (“NAV”) than Class A shares.
Because the Fund may not be able to identify an individual investor's trading activities when investing through omnibus account arrangements, you and/or your financial intermediary are responsible for ensuring that your investment in Class C shares does not exceed $1,000,000. The Fund cannot ensure that it will identify purchase orders that would cause your investment in Class C shares to exceed the maximum allowed amount. When investing through such arrangements, you and/or your financial intermediary should be diligent in determining that you have selected the appropriate share class for you.
You and/or your financial intermediary should also take care to assure that you are receiving any sales charge reductions or other benefits to which you may be entitled. As an example, as is discussed below, you may be able to reduce a Class A sales charge payable by aggregating purchases to achieve breakpoint discounts. The Fund uses the net amount invested when determining whether a shareholder has reached the required investment amount in order to be eligible for a breakpoint discount. In order to ensure that you are receiving any applicable sales charge reduction, it may be necessary for you to inform the Fund or your financial intermediary of the existence of other accounts that may be eligible to be aggregated. The SAI discusses specific classes of investors who may be eligible for a reduced sales charge. In addition, investors investing in the Fund through an intermediary should consult Appendix A to this Prospectus, which includes information regarding financial intermediary specific sales charges and related discount policies that apply to purchases through certain specified intermediaries. Before investing you should discuss which share class may be right for you with your financial intermediary.
33


CLASSES OF SHARES (continued)

Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
The Fund pays fees to the Distributor on an ongoing basis as compensation for the services the Distributor provides and the expenses it bears in connection with the sale and distribution of Fund shares (“distribution fees”) and/or in connection with personal services rendered to Fund shareholders and the maintenance of shareholder accounts (“service fees”). These payments are made pursuant to distribution and/or shareholder servicing plans adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act (“12b-1 Plan”). Because these distribution and service fees are paid on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
The Fund has adopted a 12b-1 Plan for at least one of the following share classes: Class A, Class C, and Class R shares. The following table lists the maximum annual rates at which the distribution and/or servicing fees may be paid under a 12b-1 Plan (calculated as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to the particular class of shares):

SALES CHARGES

The Fund makes available in a clear and prominent format, free of charge, on its website, (www.voyainvestments.com), information regarding applicable sales loads, reduced sales charges (i.e., breakpoint discounts), sales load waivers, eligibility minimums and purchases of the Fund's shares. The website includes hyperlinks that facilitate access to the information.
Class A Shares
This section includes important information about sales charges and sales charge reduction programs available to investors in the Fund's Class A shares and describes the information or records you may need to provide to the Distributor or your financial intermediary in order to be eligible for sales charge reduction programs.
Unless you are eligible for a waiver, the public offering price you pay when you buy Class A shares is the NAV of the shares at the time of purchase, plus an initial sales charge. The initial sales charge varies depending on the size of your purchase, as set forth in the following tables. No sales charge is imposed when Class A shares are issued to you pursuant to the automatic reinvestment of income dividends or capital gains distributions. For investors investing in Class A shares through a financial intermediary, it is the responsibility of the financial intermediary to ensure that the investor obtains the proper breakpoint discount, if any.
Because the offering price is calculated to two decimal places, the dollar amount of the sales charge as a percentage of the offering price and your net amount invested for any particular purchase of Fund shares may be higher or lower depending on whether downward or upward rounding was required during the calculation process.
Class A shares are sold subject to the following sales charge:

See CDSC - Class A Shares below.
Shareholders that purchased funds that were a part of the Lexington family of funds or the Aetna family of funds prior to February 2, 1998, at the time of purchase, are not subject to sales charges for the life of their account on purchases made directly with the Fund. Former Class C shareholders that were converted to Class A shares are not subject to a sales charge for the life of their account on purchases made directly with the Fund.
CDSC - Class A Shares
Investments of $1,000,000 or More. There is no front-end sales charge if you purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1,000,000 or more. However, these shares will be subject to a 1.00% CDSC if they are redeemed within 18 months of purchase.
Class C Shares
Unless you are eligible for a waiver, if you sell your Class C shares within the time periods specified below, you will pay a CDSC according to the following schedules. It is the responsibility of your financial intermediary to ensure that you are credited with the proper holding period for the shares redeemed.
Class C shares are offered at their NAV per share without any initial sales charge. However, you may be charged a CDSC on shares that you sell within a certain period of time after you bought them. The amount of the CDSC is based on the lesser of the NAV of the shares at the time of purchase or redemption. The CDSCs are as follows:
Years after purchase
CDSC on shares being sold
1st year
1.00%
After 1st year
None
To keep your CDSC as low as possible, each time you place a request to redeem shares, the Fund will first redeem shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC and then will sell shares that have the lowest CDSC.
35


SALES CHARGES (continued)

There is no CDSC on shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.
CDSC on Exchange into Voya Credit Income Fund (formerly, Voya Senior Income Fund)
You are not required to pay an applicable CDSC upon an exchange from the Fund described in this Prospectus into Voya Credit Income Fund. However, if you exchange into Voya Credit Income Fund and subsequently offer your common shares for repurchase by Voya Credit Income Fund, the Fund's CDSC will apply. After an exchange into Voya Credit Income Fund, the time period for application of the CDSC will be calculated based on the first date you acquired your shares.
Reduced or Waived Front-End Sales Charges or CDSC
The sales charge and CDSC waiver categories described in this section do not apply to customers purchasing shares of the Fund through any of the financial intermediaries specified in Appendix A to this Prospectus (each a “Specified Intermediary”). In all instances, it is the investor’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the investor’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts.
Different financial intermediaries may apply different sales charge or CDSC waivers. Please refer to Appendix A for the sales charge or CDSC waivers that are applicable to each Specified Intermediary.
Investors in the Fund could reduce or eliminate sales charges applicable to the purchase of Class A shares through utilization of the Letter of Intent, Rights of Accumulation, or Combination Privilege. These programs are summarized below and are described in greater detail in the SAI.
You may reduce the initial sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares of the Fund by combining multiple purchases to take advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedules. You may do this by:
Letter of Intent—lets you purchase shares over a 13-month period and pay the same sales charge as if the shares had all been purchased at once;
Rights of Accumulation—lets you add the value of shares of any open-end Voya mutual fund (excluding Voya Government Money Market Fund) you already own to the amount of your next purchase for purposes of calculating the sales charge; or
Combination Privilege—shares held by investors in the Voya mutual funds which impose a CDSC may be combined with Class A shares for a reduced sales charge.
In addition, certain investors may be eligible for special purchases of Class A shares at NAV. This may be done by:
Reinstatement Privilege—If you sell Class A shares of the Fund (or shares of other Voya mutual funds managed by the Adviser) and reinvest any of the proceeds in Class A shares of another Voya mutual fund within 90 days. For additional information regarding the reinstatement privilege, contact a Shareholder Services Representative or see the SAI; or
Purchases by Certain Accounts—Class A shares may be purchased at NAV by certain fee-based programs offered through selected registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, and other financial intermediaries. Class A shares may also be purchased at NAV by shareholders that purchase the Fund through a financial intermediary that offers our Class A shares uniformly on a “no load” (or reduced load) basis to you and all similarly situated customers of the intermediary in accordance with the intermediary's prescribed fee schedule for purchases of fund shares, including by shareholders that purchase shares through a financial intermediary that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor to offer shares to self-directed investment brokerage accounts that may or may not charge a transaction fee to its customers.
See the Account Application or the SAI for additional information regarding the reduction of Class A shares' charges, or contact your financial intermediary or a Shareholder Services Representative for more information.
Required Shareholder Information and Records. In order for investors in Class A shares of the Fund to take advantage of sales charge reductions, an investor or his/her financial intermediary must notify the Distributor that the investor qualifies for such reduction. If the Distributor is not notified that the investor is eligible for these reductions, the Distributor will be unable to ensure that the reduction is applied to the investor's account. An investor may have to provide certain information or records, including account statements, to his/her financial intermediary or to the Distributor to verify the investor's eligibility for breakpoint privileges or other sales charge waivers.

SALES CHARGES (continued)

CDSC Waivers. If you notify the Fund's transfer agent, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), at the time of redemption, the CDSC for Class A and Class C shares will be waived in the following cases:
Redemptions following the death or permanent disability of a shareholder if made within one year of death or the initial determination of permanent disability. The waiver is available only for shares held at the time of death or initial determination of permanent disability.
Redemptions for Class C shares, pursuant to a Systematic Withdrawal Plan, up to a maximum of 12% per year of a shareholder's account value based on the value of the account at the time the plan is established and annually thereafter.
Mandatory distributions from “employee benefit plans” or an individual retirement account (“IRA”).
Reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.
In addition, the CDSC will be waived on the redemption of shares held through an intermediary if the intermediary has entered into an agreement with the Distributor to waive the CDSC. If you think you may be eligible for a CDSC waiver, contact your financial intermediary or a Shareholder Services Representative.
Reinstatement Privilege. If you sell Class A or Class C shares of the Fund you may be eligible for a full or prorated credit of the CDSC paid on the sale when you make an investment up to the amount redeemed in the same share class within 90 days of the eligible sale. Reinstated Class C shares will retain their original cost and purchase date for purposes of the CDSC. This privilege can be used only once per calendar year. If you want to use the Reinstatement Privilege, contact your financial intermediary or a Shareholder Services Representative, or see the SAI for more information. An investor may be asked to provide information or records, including account statements, regarding shares of the Fund held in all of the investor's accounts held directly with the Trust or through a financial intermediary; any account of the investor at another financial intermediary; and accounts of related parties of the investor, such as members of the same family or household, at any financial intermediary.

HOW SHARES ARE PRICED

The Fund is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (the “NAV”) per share for each class of the Fund is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (the “CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when the Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced, and the Fund will not process purchase or redemption orders. To the extent the Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of the Fund’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
Portfolio holdings for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which the Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign (non-U.S.) securities’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.
When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example, when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other portfolio holdings, the portfolio holding is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or the Fund’s Sub-Adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers, and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of the fair value of a portfolio holding. Because trading hours for certain foreign (non-U.S.) securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign (non-U.S.) securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through Market Close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine the Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in the Fund.

HOW TO BUY SHARES

Customer Identification
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person that opens an account, and to determine whether such person’s name appears on government lists of known or suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations.
What this means for you: the Fund, the Distributor, or a third-party selling you the Fund, must obtain the following information for each person that opens an account:
Name;
Date of birth (for individuals);
Physical residential address (although post office boxes are still permitted for mailing); and
Social Security number, taxpayer identification number, or other identifying number.
You may also be asked to show your driver’s license, passport, or other identifying documents in order to verify your identity. In addition, it may be necessary to verify your identity by cross-referencing your identification information with a consumer report or other electronic database. Additional information may be required to open accounts for corporations and other non-natural persons.
Federal law prohibits the Fund, the Distributor, and other financial institutions from opening accounts unless they receive the minimum identifying information listed above. They also may be required to close your account if they are unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time.
The Fund and the Distributor reserve the right to reject any purchase order. Please note that cash, traveler's checks, third-party checks, money orders, and checks drawn on non-U.S. banks (even if payment may be effected through a U.S. bank) generally will not be accepted. The Fund and the Distributor reserve the right to waive minimum investment amounts. Waiver of the minimum investment amount can increase operating expenses of the Fund. The Fund and the Distributor reserve the right to liquidate sufficient shares to recover annual transfer agent fees or to close your account and redeem your shares should you fail to maintain your account value minimum.
The Fund reserves the right to suspend the offering of shares.
Class A and Class C Shares
Class A and Class C shares may be purchased and sold by contacting any financial intermediary (who may impose transaction charges in addition to those described in this Prospectus) authorized to sell Fund shares. You may purchase additional shares in various ways, including through your financial adviser and by mail, telephone, on-line, and bank wire.
A shareholder’s Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares at net asset value (without the imposition of a sales charge) on the second calendar day of the following month in which the 8th anniversary of the issuance of the Class C shares occurs, together with a pro rata portion of all Class C shares representing dividends and other distributions paid in additional Class C shares.
Class I Shares
Class I shares may be purchased without a sales charge by: (1) qualified retirement plans such as 401(a), 401(k), or other defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans; (2) 529 college savings plans; (3) insurance companies and foundations investing for their own account; (4) wrap programs offered by broker-dealers and financial institutions; (5) accounts of, or managed by, trust departments; (6) individuals whose accounts are managed by an investment adviser representative; (7) employees of Voya IM who are eligible to participate in “notional” bonus programs sponsored by Voya IM; (8) retirement plans affiliated with Voya Financial, Inc.; (9) Voya Financial, Inc. affiliates for purposes of corporate cash management; (10) other registered investment companies; and (11) (a) investors purchasing Class I shares through brokerage platforms that invest in the Voya funds’ Class I shares through omnibus accounts and have agreements with the Distributor to offer such shares and (b) such brokerage platforms’ omnibus accounts. An investor transacting in Class I shares on such brokerage platforms may be required to pay a commission and/or other forms of compensation to the broker.
39


HOW TO BUY SHARES (continued)

Class R Shares
Class R shares may be purchased without a sales charge. Class R shares of the Fund are continuously offered to qualified retirement plans (“Retirement Plans”) including, but not limited to, 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer sponsored 403(b) plans, IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension Plans (“SEPs”), and other accounts or plans whereby Class R shares are held on the books of the Fund through omnibus accounts (either at the plan level or the level of the plan administrator). Purchases and redemptions of shares may be made only by eligible Retirement Plans for the purpose of funding qualified retirement plans. Please refer to the plan document for information on how to direct investments in, or redemptions from, an investment option corresponding to the Fund and any fees that may apply.
The administrator of a Retirement Plan or employee benefits office can provide participants with detailed information on how to participate in the plan and how to elect the Fund as an investment option, alter the amounts contributed to the plan, or reallocate contributions. Eligible Retirement Plans generally may open an account and purchase Class R shares by contacting any broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (“Financial Service Firm”) authorized to sell Class R shares of the Fund. Additional shares may be purchased through a Retirement Plan's administrator or recordkeeper. Financial Service Firms may provide or arrange for the provision of some or all of the shareholder servicing and account maintenance services required by Retirement Plan accounts and their plan participants including, without limitation, transfers of registration and dividend payee changes. Financial Service Firms may also perform other functions, including generating confirmation statements, and may arrange with plan administrators for other investment or administrative services.
Financial Service Firms may independently establish and charge Retirement Plans and plan participants transaction fees and/or other additional amounts for such services, which may change over time. Similarly, Retirement Plans may charge plan participants for certain expenses. These fees and additional amounts could reduce the investment return in Class R shares of the Fund.
Class W Shares
Class W shares may be purchased without a sales charge by: (1) qualified retirement plans such as 401(a), 401(k), or other defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans; (2) insurance companies and foundations investing for their own account; (3) wrap programs offered by broker-dealers and financial institutions; (4) accounts of, or managed by, trust departments; (5) individuals whose accounts are managed by an investment adviser representative; (6) retirement plans affiliated with Voya Financial, Inc.; (7) Voya Financial, Inc. affiliates for purposes of corporate cash management; and (8) by other Voya mutual funds in the Voya family of funds.
In addition, Class W shares are available to the following persons through direct investment (not through broker-dealers that are not approved by Voya) into a Voya mutual fund or through a Voya approved broker-dealer (currently, Voya Financial Advisors, Inc.): (1) current and retired officers and directors/trustees of the Voya mutual funds; (2) current and retired officers, directors, and full-time employees of Voya Investments, LLC, Directed Services LLC; any Voya mutual fund's sub-adviser; Voya Investments Distributor, LLC; and any of their affiliates; (3) family members of the foregoing persons (defined as current spouse, children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, uncles, aunts, siblings, nephews, nieces, step-relations, relations at-law, and cousins); (4) any trust, pension, profit-sharing, or other benefit plan for such persons (including family members); (5) discretionary advisory accounts of Voya Investments, LLC, Directed Services LLC, any Voya mutual fund's sub-adviser, or Voya Investments Distributor, LLC; and (6) qualifying investments made through Voya promotional programs as determined by Voya Investments Distributor, LLC.
Retirement Plans
The Fund has available prototype qualified retirement plans for corporations and self-employed individuals. The Fund also has available prototype IRA, Roth IRA and Simple IRA plans (for both individuals and employers), Simplified Employee Pension Plans and Pension and Profit Sharing Plans.

Pittsburgh, PA 15253-4480
If certificated shares have been issued, the certificate must accompany the written request.
Corporate investors and other associations must have an appropriate certification on file
authorizing redemptions. A suggested form of such certification is provided on the Account
Application. A signature guarantee may be required.
By Telephone - Expedited Redemption
You may sell shares by telephone on all accounts, other than retirement accounts, unless you

redemptions. To redeem by telephone, call a Shareholder Services Representative at
1-800-992-0180.

HOW TO SELL SHARES (continued)

Execution of Sale Requests
Sale requests are executed at the next NAV determined after the order is received in proper form by the Transfer Agent or the Distributor. For your transaction to be counted on the day you place your sale request with your broker-dealer or other financial institution, your broker-dealer or financial institution must receive your sale request in proper form before Market Close and transmit the sale request to the Transfer Agent or the Distributor in a timely manner.
You will receive a confirmation of each new transaction in your account, which also will show you the number of shares you own including the number of shares being held in safekeeping by the Transfer Agent for your account. You may rely on these confirmations in lieu of certificates as evidence of your ownership.
Payments
Normally, payment for shares redeemed will typically be made within one business day after receipt by the Transfer Agent of a request in good order. The Fund can delay payment of the redemption proceeds for up to 7 days and may suspend redemptions and/or further postpone payment proceeds when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays) or when trading thereon is restricted or during emergency or other circumstances, including as determined by the SEC. When you place a request to redeem shares for which the purchase money has not yet been collected, the request will be executed at the next determined NAV, but the Fund will not release the proceeds until your purchase payment clears. This may take up to 30 days. A redemption request made within 30 calendar days after submission of a change of address is permitted only if the request is in writing and is accompanied by a medallion signature guarantee. Redemption requests of an amount of $10 million or more must be submitted in writing by an authorized person.
A medallion signature guarantee may be required in certain circumstances. A request to change the bank designated to receive wire redemption proceeds must be received in writing, signed by an authorized person, and accompanied by a medallion signature guarantee from any eligible guarantor institution. In addition, if you wish to have your redemption proceeds transferred by wire to an account other than your designated bank account, paid to someone other than the shareholder of record, or sent somewhere other than the shareholder’s address of record, you must provide a medallion signature guarantee with your written redemption instructions. Please see the SAI for more details on the medallion signature guarantee program.
The Fund will typically pay redemption proceeds in cash using cash held by the Fund, with cash generated by the Fund through the sale of cash equivalents and other Fund assets or by borrowing cash pursuant to the Fund’s line of credit. The Fund may, however, determine in its absolute discretion to distribute non-cash assets in kind in complete or partial satisfaction of its obligation to pay redemption proceeds to a shareholder. The Fund may distribute non-cash assets in any case where it has determined, in its sole discretion, that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Fund. By way of example, where the redemption might be expected to have an unfavorable tax effect on the Fund, cases arising during a period of deteriorating market conditions or market stress, cases arising when a significant portion of the Fund’s portfolio is comprised of less-liquid and/or illiquid securities, or in the case of a very large redemption that could adversely affect Fund operations. In such a case, the Fund could elect to make payment in securities or other assets for redemptions that exceed the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of its net assets during any 90-day period for any one record shareholder. A shareholder may incur brokerage costs in converting such assets to cash.
Telephone Orders
Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent will be responsible for the authenticity of phone instructions or losses, if any, resulting from unauthorized shareholder transactions if they reasonably believe that such instructions were genuine. The Fund and the Transfer Agent have established reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. These procedures include recording telephone instructions for exchanges and expedited redemptions, requiring the caller to give certain specific identifying information, and providing written confirmation to shareholders of record not later than 5 days following any such telephone transactions. If the Fund or the Transfer Agent do not employ these procedures, they may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.
Small Accounts
Due to the relatively high cost of handling small investments, the Fund reserves the right, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, to redeem at NAV (less any applicable deferred sales charge), the shares of any shareholder whose account (except for IRAs) has a total value that is less than the Fund's minimum. Before the Fund redeems such shares and sends the proceeds to the shareholder, it will notify the shareholder that the value of the shares in the account is
44


HOW TO SELL SHARES (continued)

less than the minimum amount allowed and will allow the shareholder 30 days to make an additional investment in an amount that will increase the value of the account to the minimum before the redemption is processed. Your account will not be closed if its drop in value is due to Fund performance.
45


HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES

Exchanges Between Voya Mutual Funds
You may exchange shares of the Fund for shares of the same class of any other Voya mutual fund, except for Voya Corporate Leaders® Trust Fund, without paying any additional sales charge, if you otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of the class of shares of the Voya mutual fund to be received in the exchange. If you purchase Class A shares of Voya Government Money Market Fund and did not pay a sales charge, you must pay the applicable sales charge on an exchange into Class A shares of another Voya mutual fund.
If you exchange shares of the Fund that are subject to a CDSC into shares of another Voya mutual fund that are subject to a CDSC, the CDSC will continue to apply to your new shares at the same CDSC rate that was applicable to your original shares. Your new shares will continue to age for CDSC purposes from the date that the original shares were purchased.
Exchanges Between Classes of the Fund
You may exchange Class C and Class W shares for Class I shares within the Fund, or you may exchange Class A shares and Class I shares for any other class within the Fund, if you otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of the class of shares to be received in the exchange, or you may exchange Class C shares for Class A shares within the Fund, except that: (1) you may not exchange shares that are subject to a CDSC until the CDSC period has expired, unless the Distributor approves the exchange and determines that no CDSC is payable in connection with the exchange; (2) you may not exchange Class A shares for Class W shares unless you acquired the Class A shares through a Voya approved broker-dealer (currently, Voya Financial Advisors, Inc.); and (3) you may not exchange Class C shares for Class A shares unless your intermediary has agreed to waive its right to receive the front-end sales charge that otherwise would be applicable to the Class A shares. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares of the same Fund after they have been held for 8 years.
All exchanges within the Fund are subject to the discretion of the Distributor to permit or reject such exchanges. Shareholders generally should not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes from an exchange between classes of shares within the Fund provided that the transaction is undertaken and processed, with respect to any shareholder, as a direct exchange transaction. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the federal, state, local, and non-U.S. tax consequences of an exchange between classes of shares within the Fund.
Exchanges between classes of shares within the Fund are not subject to the frequent trading and market timing policies of Voya mutual funds.
Additional Information About Exchanges
Fees and expenses differ among Voya mutual funds and among share classes of the same fund. Please read the prospectus for the Voya mutual fund and share class you are interested in prior to exchanging into that Voya mutual fund or share class. Contact your financial intermediary or consult your plan documents for additional information.
An exchange of shares of the Fund for shares of another Voya mutual fund is treated as a sale and purchase of shares and may result in the recognition of a gain or loss for federal and state income tax purposes. For exchanges between Voya mutual funds, you should consult your own tax advisor for advice about the particular federal, state, and local tax consequences to you of the exchange. The total value of shares being exchanged must at least equal the minimum investment requirement of the Voya mutual fund into which they are being exchanged.
If you exchange into Voya Credit Income Fund, your ability to sell or liquidate your investment will be limited. Voya Credit Income Fund is a closed-end interval fund and does not redeem its shares on a daily basis. It is not expected that a secondary market for Voya Credit Income Fund's shares will develop, so you will not be able to sell them through a broker or other investment professional. To provide a measure of liquidity, Voya Credit Income Fund will normally make monthly repurchase offers for not less than 5% of its outstanding common shares. If more than 5% of Voya Credit Income Fund's common shares are tendered, you may not be able to completely liquidate your holdings in any one month. You also would not have liquidity between these monthly repurchase dates. Investors exercising the exchange privilege into Voya Credit Income Fund should carefully review the prospectus of that fund. Investors may obtain a copy of the Voya Credit Income Fund prospectus or any other Voya mutual fund prospectus by calling 1-800-992-0180 or by going to www.voyainvestments.com.
46


HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES (continued)

In addition to the Fund available in this Prospectus, the Distributor offers many other funds. Shareholders exercising the exchange privilege with any other Voya mutual fund should carefully review the prospectus of that fund before exchanging their shares. Investors may obtain a copy of a prospectus of any Voya mutual fund not discussed in this Prospectus by calling 1-800-992-0180 or by going to www.voyainvestments.com.
You will automatically have the ability to request an exchange between Voya mutual funds by calling a Shareholder Services Representative unless you mark the box on the Account Application that indicates that you do not wish to have the telephone exchange privilege. The Fund may change or cancel its exchange policies at any time, upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders.
Systematic Exchange Privilege
Subject to the information and limitations outlined above, you may elect to have a specified dollar amount of shares systematically exchanged, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually from your account to an identically registered account in the same class of any other open-end Voya mutual fund, except for Voya Corporate Leaders® Trust Fund. This exchange privilege may be modified at any time or terminated upon 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders.
47


FREQUENT TRADING - MARKET TIMING

The Fund is intended for long-term investment and not as a short-term trading vehicle. Accordingly, organizations or individuals that use market timing investment strategies should not purchase shares of the Fund. The Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to reject, restrict, or refuse purchase orders whether directly or by exchange, including purchase orders that have been accepted by a shareholder's or retirement plan participant's intermediary, that the Fund determines not to be in the best interest of the Fund. Such action may include, but not be limited to: rejecting additional purchase orders, whether directly or by exchange; extending settlement of a redemption up to 7 days; rejecting all purchase orders from broker-dealers or their registered representatives suspected of violating the Fund's frequent trading policy; or termination of the selling group agreement or other agreement with broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries associated with frequent trading. The Fund will not be liable for any loss resulting from rejected orders or other actions as described above.
The Fund believes that market timing or frequent, short-term trading in any account, including a retirement plan account, is not in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders. Due to the disruptive nature of this activity, it can adversely affect the ability of the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser (if applicable) to invest assets in an orderly, efficient manner. Frequent trading can raise Fund expenses through: increased trading and transaction costs; increased administrative costs; and lost opportunity costs. This in turn can have an adverse effect on Fund performance.
Because some Underlying Funds invest in foreign (non-U.S.) securities, they may present greater opportunities for market timers and thus be at a greater risk for excessive trading. If an event occurring after the close of a foreign market, but before the time an Underlying Fund computes its current NAV, causes a change in the price of the foreign (non-U.S.) security and such price is not reflected in the Underlying Fund's current NAV, investors may attempt to take advantage of anticipated price movements in securities held by the Underlying Funds based on such pricing discrepancies. This is often referred to as “price arbitrage.” Such price arbitrage opportunities may also occur in Underlying Funds which do not invest in foreign (non-U.S.) securities. For example, if trading in a security held by an Underlying Fund is halted and does not resume prior to the time the Underlying Fund calculates its NAV such “stale pricing” presents an opportunity for investors to take advantage of the pricing discrepancy. Similarly, Underlying Funds that hold thinly-traded securities, such as certain small-capitalization securities, may be exposed to varying levels of pricing arbitrage. The Underlying Funds have adopted fair valuation policies and procedures intended to reduce the Underlying Funds' exposure to price arbitrage, stale pricing and other potential pricing discrepancies. However, to the extent that an Underlying Fund does not immediately reflect these changes in market conditions, short-term trading may dilute the value of the Underlying Funds' shares which negatively affects long-term shareholders.
The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to deter frequent, short-term trading in shares of the Fund. In general, shareholders may make exchanges among their accounts with Voya mutual funds once every 30 days. However, the Fund prohibits frequent trading. The Fund has defined frequent trading as follows:
Any shareholder or financial adviser initiated exchanges among all their accounts with the Fund within 30 calendar days of a previous exchange. All exchanges occurring on the same day for all accounts (individual, IRA, 401(k), etc.) beneficially owned by the same shareholder will be treated as a single transaction for purposes of this policy;
Trading deemed harmful or excessive by the Fund (including but not limited to patterns of purchases and redemptions), in its sole discretion; and
Trades initiated by financial advisers, among multiple shareholder accounts, that in the aggregate are deemed harmful or excessive.
The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive:
Purchases and sales of Fund shares in the amount of $5,000 or less;
Transfers associated with systematic purchases or redemptions;
Purchases and sales of funds that affirmatively permit short-term trading;
Rebalancing to facilitate fund-of-fund arrangements or the Fund's systematic exchange privileges;
Purchases or sales initiated by Voya mutual funds; and
Transactions subject to the trading policy of an intermediary that the Fund deems materially similar to the Fund's policy.
48


FREQUENT TRADING - MARKET TIMING (continued)

Please note that while money market funds permit short-term trading, an exchange between a money market fund and another fund that does not permit short-term trading will count as an exchange for purposes of this policy.
If a violation of the policy is identified, the following action will be taken:
Upon the first violation of this policy in a calendar year, purchase and exchange privileges shall be suspended for 90 days. For example, if an exchange is initiated on February 1st, and a second exchange is initiated on February 15th, trading privileges shall be suspended for 90 days from February 1st.
Upon a second violation in a calendar year, purchase and exchange privileges shall be suspended for 180 days.
No purchases or exchanges will be permitted in the account and all related accounts bearing the same Tax ID or equivalent identifier.
On the next Business Day following the end of the 90 or 180 day suspension, any trading restrictions placed on the account(s) shall be removed.
The Fund reserves the right to modify this policy at any time without prior notice.
Although the restrictions described above are designed to discourage frequent, short-term trading, none of them alone, nor all of them taken together, can eliminate the possibility that frequent, short-term trading activity in the Fund will occur. Moreover, in enforcing such restrictions, the Fund is often required to make decisions that are inherently subjective. The Fund strives to make these decisions to the best of its abilities in a manner that it believes is in the best interest of shareholders.
Shareholders may invest in the Fund through omnibus account arrangements with financial intermediaries. Omnibus accounts permit intermediaries to aggregate their clients' transactions and in these circumstances, the identity of the shareholder is often unknown. Such intermediaries include broker-dealers, banks, investment advisers, record keepers, retirement plans, and fee-based accounts such as wrap fee programs. Omnibus accounts generally do not identify customers' trading activity on an individual basis. The Investment Adviser or its affiliated entities have agreements in place with intermediaries which require such intermediaries to provide detailed account information, including trading history, upon request of the Fund. There is no assurance that the Investment Adviser or its affiliated entities will request such information with sufficient frequency to detect or deter excessive trading or that review of such information will be sufficient to detect or deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts effectively.
In some cases, the Fund will rely on the intermediaries' excessive trading policies and such policies shall define the trading activity in which the shareholder may engage. This shall be the case where the Fund is used in certain retirement plans offered by affiliates. With trading information received as a result of the agreements, the Fund may make a determination that certain trading activity is harmful to the Fund and its shareholders even if such activity is not strictly prohibited by the intermediaries' excessive trading policy. As a result, a shareholder investing directly or indirectly in the Fund may have their trading privileges suspended without violating the stated excessive trading policy of the intermediary.

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

Voya mutual funds are distributed by the Distributor. The Distributor is a broker-dealer that is licensed to sell securities. The Distributor generally does not sell directly to the public but sells and markets its products through intermediaries such as other broker-dealers. Each Voya mutual fund also has an investment adviser which is responsible for managing the money invested in each of the mutual funds. Both of these entities or their affiliates (collectively, “Voya”) may compensate an intermediary for selling Voya mutual funds.
Persons licensed with FINRA as a registered representative (often referred to as a broker or financial adviser) and associated with a specific broker-dealer may receive compensation from the Fund for providing services which are primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares. The Distributor has an agreement in place with each broker-dealer selling the Fund defining specifically what that broker-dealer will be paid for the sale of a particular Voya mutual fund. The broker-dealer then pays the registered representative who sold you the mutual fund some or all of what they receive from Voya. A registered representative may receive a payment when the sale is made and in some cases, can continue to receive payments while you are invested in the mutual fund. In addition, other entities may receive compensation from the Fund for providing services which are primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares, so long as such entities are permitted to receive these fees under applicable rules and regulations.
The Distributor may pay, from its own resources, additional fees to these broker-dealers or other financial institutions including affiliated entities. These additional fees paid to intermediaries may take the following forms: (1) a percentage of that entity’s customer assets invested in Voya mutual funds; (2) a percentage of that entity's gross sales; or (3) some combination of these payments. Depending on the broker-dealer's satisfaction of the required conditions, these payments may be periodic and may be up to: (1) 0.30% per annum of the value of the Fund's shares held by the broker-dealer’s customers; or (2) 0.30% of the value of the Fund's shares sold by the broker-dealer during a particular period. For example, if that initial investment averages a value of $10,000 over the year, the Distributor could pay a maximum of $30 on those assets. If you invested $10,000, the Distributor could pay a maximum of $30 for that sale.
Voya, out of its own resources and without additional cost to the Fund or its shareholders, may provide additional cash or non-cash compensation to intermediaries selling shares of the Fund, including affiliates of Voya. These amounts would be in addition to the distribution payments made by the Fund under the distribution agreements. Management personnel of Voya may receive additional compensation if the overall amount of investments in funds advised by Voya meets certain target levels or increases over time.
Voya may provide additional cash or non-cash compensation to third parties selling our mutual funds including affiliated companies. This may take the form of cash incentives and non-cash compensation and may include, but is not limited to: cash; merchandise; trips; occasional entertainment; meals or tickets to a sporting event; client appreciation events; payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre-approved training and education seminars; and payment for advertising and sales campaigns. The Distributor may also pay concessions in addition to those described above to broker-dealers so that Voya mutual funds are made available by those broker-dealers for their customers. The Sub-Adviser of the Fund may contribute to non-cash compensation arrangements.
The compensation paid by Voya to a financial intermediary is typically paid continually over time, during the period when the intermediary’s clients hold investments in the Voya mutual funds. The amount of continuing compensation paid by Voya to different financial intermediaries for distribution and/or shareholder services varies. The compensation is typically a percentage of the value of the financial intermediary’s clients’ investments in Voya mutual funds or a per account fee. The variation in compensation may, but will not necessarily, reflect enhanced or additional services provided by the intermediary.
Voya or a Voya mutual fund may pay service fees to intermediaries for administration, recordkeeping, and other shareholder services. Intermediaries receiving these payments may include, among others, brokers, financial planners or advisers, banks, and insurance companies. The Voya mutual funds may reimburse Voya for some or all of the payments made by Voya to intermediaries for these services.
In some cases, a financial intermediary may hold its clients’ mutual fund shares in nominee or street name. These financial intermediaries may (though they will not necessarily) provide services including, among other things: processing and mailing trade confirmations; capturing and processing tax data; issuing and mailing dividend checks to shareholders who have selected cash distributions; preparing record date shareholder lists for proxy solicitations; collecting and posting distributions to shareholder accounts; and establishing and maintaining systematic withdrawals and automated investment plans and shareholder account registrations.
The top firms Voya paid to sell its mutual funds as of the last calendar year are:

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES

Dividends and Distributions
The Fund generally distributes most or all of its net earnings in the form of dividends, consisting of ordinary income and capital gains distributions. The Fund distributes capital gains, if any, annually. The Fund also declares dividends and pays dividends consisting of ordinary income, if any, annually.
From time to time a portion of the Fund’s distributions may constitute a return of capital. To comply with federal tax regulations, the Fund may also pay an additional capital gains distribution.
Dividend Reinvestment
Unless you instruct the Fund to pay you dividends in cash, dividends and distributions paid by the Fund will be reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. You may, upon written request or by completing the appropriate section of the Account Application, elect to have all dividends and other distributions paid on shares of the Fund invested in another Voya mutual fund that offers the same class of shares.
Taxes
The tax discussion in this Prospectus is only a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax issues generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. The following assumes that the Fund's shares will be capital assets in the hands of a shareholder. Circumstances among investors may vary, so you are encouraged to discuss an investment in the Fund with your tax advisor.
The Fund will distribute all, or substantially all, of its net investment income and net capital gains (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses, in each case determined with reference to any loss carryforwards) to its shareholders each year. Although the Fund will not be taxed on amounts it distributes, most shareholders will be taxed on amounts they receive.
Distributions, whether received as cash or reinvested in additional shares, may be subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to state or local taxes. For mutual funds generally, dividends from net investment income (other than qualified dividend income and capital gain dividends) and distributions of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income under federal income tax laws whether paid in cash or in additional shares. Distributions properly reported as capital gain dividends are taxable as long term capital gains regardless of the length of time you have held the shares and whether you were paid in cash or additional shares.
Distributions made to a non-corporate shareholder out of “qualified dividend income,” if any, received by the Fund will be subject to tax at the lower rates applicable to net capital gains, provided that the shareholder meets certain holding period and other requirements with respect to its shares.
Selling or exchanging your Fund shares is a taxable event and may result in capital gain or loss. A capital gain or capital loss may be realized from an ordinary redemption of shares or an exchange of shares between two mutual funds. Any such capital gain or loss will generally be long term if the shares sold or exchanged were held for more than one year; otherwise, such gain or loss will be short term. Any capital loss incurred on the sale or exchange of Fund shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of capital gain dividends received with respect to such shares. Additionally, any loss realized on a sale, redemption or exchange of Fund shares may be disallowed under “wash sale” rules to the extent the shares disposed of are replaced with other shares of that same Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the shares are disposed of, such as pursuant to a dividend reinvestment in shares of the Fund. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an adjustment to the tax basis of the shares acquired. You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your transactions.
You will be notified annually of the amount of income, dividends and net capital gains distributed. If you purchase shares of the Fund through a financial intermediary, that entity will provide this information to you.
The Fund intends to qualify and be eligible for treatment each year as a regulated investment company. A regulated investment company generally is not subject to tax at the fund level on income and gains from investments that are timely distributed to shareholders. However, the Fund’s failure to qualify as a regulated investment company would result in fund level taxation and therefore, a reduction in income available for distribution.
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds certain threshold amounts.
52


DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES (continued)

The Fund is required to withhold a portion of all taxable dividends, distributions, and redemption proceeds payable to any noncorporate shareholder that does not provide the Fund with the shareholder's correct taxpayer identification number or certification that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding. This is not an additional tax but can be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability.
Shareholders that invest in the Fund through a tax advantaged account, such as a qualified retirement plan, generally will not have to pay tax on dividends or gains from the sale or exchange of Fund shares until they are distributed from the account. These accounts are subject to complex tax rules, and you should consult your tax advisor about investing through such an account.
Foreign shareholders invested in the Fund should consult with their tax advisors as to if and how the U.S. federal income tax law and its withholding requirements apply to them. Generally, the Fund will withhold 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on distributions to foreign shareholders.
Foreign Taxes. Investment income and proceeds received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes. The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which may entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of such taxes or exemption from taxes on such income or proceeds. It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax for the Fund in advance since the amount of the assets to be invested within various countries is not known.
If more than 50% in value of the Fund's total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of stock or securities of foreign corporations, or if at least 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year is represented by interests in other regulated investment companies, the Fund may elect (the “Foreign Election”) to “pass through” to its shareholders the amount of foreign income and similar foreign taxes paid or deemed paid by it. If the Fund so elects, each of its shareholders would be required to include in gross income, even though not actually received, its pro rata share of such foreign taxes paid or deemed paid by the Fund, but would be treated as having paid its pro rata share of such foreign taxes and would therefore be allowed to either deduct such amount in computing taxable income or use such amount (subject to various limitations) as a foreign tax credit against federal income tax (but not both). It is anticipated that the Fund will qualify to make the Foreign Election; however, the Fund cannot be certain that it will be eligible to make such an election or that you will be eligible for the foreign tax credit.
Because most of the Fund's investments are shares of Underlying Funds, the tax treatment of the Fund's gains, losses, and distributions may differ from the tax treatment that would apply if either the Fund invested directly in the types of securities held by the Underlying Funds or the Fund shareholders invested directly in the Underlying Funds. As a result, you may receive taxable distributions earlier and recognize higher amounts of capital gain or ordinary income than you otherwise would.
Cost Basis Reporting. The Internal Revenue Service requires mutual fund companies and brokers to report on Form 1099-B the cost basis on the sale or exchange of Fund shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 (“covered shares”). If you acquire and hold shares directly through the Fund and not through a financial intermediary, the Fund will use an average cost single category methodology for tracking and reporting your cost basis on covered shares, unless you request, in writing, another cost basis reporting methodology.
Please see the SAI for further information regarding tax matters.

EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P. (“EDWARD JONES”)
Policies Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of Voya funds and Voya 529 Plans or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Breakpoints
Breakpoint pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the Prospectus.
Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”)
The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and assets held in group retirement plans) of the Voya funds and Voya 529 Plans held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter of Intent (“LOI”)
61


APPENDIX A (continued)

Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.
Sales Charge Waivers
Sales charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following situations:
Associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
Shares purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
Shares purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
Shares purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
Shares exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Exchanges from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers
If the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
The death or disability of the shareholder
Systematic withdrawals with up to 10% per year of the account value
Return of excess contributions from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
Shares sold as part of a required minimum distribution for IRA and retirement accounts if the redemption is taken in or after the year the shareholder reaches qualified age based on applicable IRS regulations
