Each would be elected for a three-year term and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or if sooner, until their death, resignation, removal or other incapacity to perform the duties of the office.

Each Fund’s charter document provides that the Board of Trustees for each Fund (collectively, the “Board”) is divided into three classes. At each annual meeting the term of office for one of the three classes expires and shareholders are asked to elect nominees for that class. At this Annual Meeting, the term of office for the Trustees in the following classes will expire and shareholders are being asked to consider the election of the 2019 Nominees for those classes.

Such persons are commonly referred to as “Independent Trustees.” Each 2019 Nominee is currently a Trustee of each Fund and has consented to serve as a Trustee and to being named in this Proxy Statement.

For additional information on the 2019 Nominees, please see Appendix A.

If any or all of the 2019 Nominees become unavailable to serve as Trustee for a Fund due to events not now known or anticipated, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominee or nominees as the current Trustees may recommend or the Board may reduce the number of Trustees as provided for in each Fund’s charter documents.

Who are the Trustees?

All of the 2019 Nominees are currently Trustees of the Board.

Martin J. Gavin, Dina Santoro, and Roger B. Vincent (the “2020 Trustees”) serve as Class II Trustees for IDE and IRR; Class III Trustees for IHD, IGA, and IGD; and Class I Trustees for IAE and IID.

Obermeyer (the “2021 Trustees”) serve as Class II Trustees for IAE and IID; Class III Trustees for IDE and IRR; and Class I Trustees for IHD, IGA, and IGD. The 2021 Trustees will serve until the 2021 annual meeting of the Funds, at which time, they or their successors, will be considered for another three-year term.

For additional information on the 2020 and 2021 Trustees, please see Appendix B.

How long will the Trustees serve on the Board?

If elected, each 2019 Nominee would serve as a Trustee for a three-year term and until a successor is duly elected and qualified, or if sooner, until their death, resignation, removal, bankruptcy, adjudication of incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of the office. The tenure of each Independent Trustee is subject to the Board’s retirement policy, which states that each duly elected or appointed Independent Trustee shall retire from and cease to be a member of the Board at the close of business on December 31 of the calendar year in which the Independent Trustee attains the age of 75. A majority vote of the Board’s other Independent Trustees may extend the retirement date of an Independent Trustee if the retirement would trigger a requirement to hold a meeting of shareholders of each Fund under applicable law, whether for the purposes of appointing a successor to the retiring Independent Trustee or otherwise complying under applicable law, in which case the extension would apply until

such time as the shareholder meeting can be held or is no longer required (as determined by a vote of a majority of the other Independent Trustees). Pursuant to this retirement policy, Mr. Jones would be expected to retire effective December 31, 2019.

What is the required vote?

Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately as a single class on the election of each 2019 Nominee. There is no cumulative voting for the election of Trustees. For each Fund except IGA and IGD, the election of each 2019 Nominee must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present. With respect to each of IGA and IGD, the election of each 2019 Nominee must be approved by a majority at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present. Shareholders who vote for the Proposal will vote for each 2019 Nominee. Those shareholders who wish to withhold their vote on any specific nominees may do so on the Proxy Ballot. Shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Proposal.

What is the Board’s recommendation?

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the nomination of each of the 2019 Nominees and are recommending that the shareholders of each Fund vote “FOR” each of the 2019 Nominees.

Further Information about the Trustees and Officers

The Board of Trustees

Each Fund is governed by the Board, which oversees each Fund’s business and affairs. The Board delegates the day-to-day management of each Fund to each Fund’s Officers and to various service providers that have been contractually retained to provide such day-to-day services. The Voya entities that render services to each Fund do so pursuant to contracts that have been approved by the Board. The Trustees are experienced executives who, among other duties, oversee each Fund’s activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each Fund, and review each Fund’s investment performance.

The Board Leadership Structure and Related Matters

The Board is comprised of ten (10) members, nine (9) of whom are Independent Trustees.

Each Fund is one of 24 registered investment companies (with a total of approximately 150 separate series) in the Voya family of funds and all of the Trustees serve as members of, as applicable, each investment company’s Board of Directors or Board of Trustees. The Board employs substantially the same leadership structure with respect to each of these investment companies.

One of the Independent Trustees, currently John V. Boyer, serves as the Chairperson of the Board of each Fund. The responsibilities of the Chairperson of the Board include: coordinating with management in the preparation of agendas for Board meetings; presiding at Board meetings; between Board meetings, serving as a primary liaison with other Trustees, officers of each Fund, management personnel, and legal counsel to the Independent Trustees; and such other duties as the Board periodically may determine. Mr. Boyer does not hold a position with any firm that is a sponsor of each Fund. The designation of an individual as the Chairperson does not impose on such Independent Trustee any duties, obligations or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations or liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Board, generally.

The Board performs many of its oversight and other activities through the committee structure described below in the “Board Committees” section. Each Committee operates pursuant to a written Charter approved by the Board. The Board currently conducts regular meetings eight (8) times a year. Six (6) of these regular meetings consist of sessions held over a two- or three-day period, and two (2) of these meetings consist of a one-day session. In addition, during the course of a year, the Board and many of its Committees typically hold special meetings by telephone or in person to discuss specific matters that require action prior to the next regular meeting. The Independent Trustees have engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.

The Board believes that its committee structure is an effective means of empowering the Trustees to perform their fiduciary and other duties. For example, the Board’s committee structure facilitates, as appropriate, the ability of individual Board

members to receive detailed presentations on topics under their review and to develop increased familiarity with respect to such topics and with key personnel at relevant service providers. At least annually, with guidance from its Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board analyzes whether there are potential means to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Board’s operations.

For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019, no Trustee attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (1) the total number of meetings held by the Board and (2) the total number of meetings held by all Committees of which he or she is a member.

Board Committees

The Board has established an Audit Committee whose functions include, among other things: (i) meeting with the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund to review the scope of each Fund’s audit, each Fund’s financial statements and accounting controls; (ii) meeting with management concerning these matters, internal audit activities and other matters; and (iii) overseeing the implementation of the Voya funds’ valuation procedures and the fair value determinations made with respect to securities held by the Voya funds for which market value quotations are not readily available. The Audit Committee currently consists of four (4) Independent Trustees. The following Trustees currently serve as members of the Audit Committee: Ms. Baldwin and Messrs. Gavin, Obermeyer, and Vincent. Mr. Gavin currently serves as the Chairperson of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee typically meets five (5) times per year, and may hold special meetings by telephone or in person to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting. The Audit Committee held five (5) meetings during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019.

Mr. Jones currently serves as the Chairperson of the Compliance Committee.

The Compliance Committee held four (4) meetings during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019.

Contracts Committee. The Board has established a Contracts Committee for the purpose of overseeing the annual renewal process relating to investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements and, at the discretion of the Board, other agreements or plans involving the Voya funds (including each Fund). The responsibilities of the Contracts Committee include, among other things: (i) identifying the scope and format of information to be provided by service providers in connection with applicable contract approvals or renewals; (ii) providing guidance to independent legal counsel regarding specific information requests to be made by such counsel on behalf of the Trustees; (iii) evaluating regulatory and other developments that might have an impact on applicable approval and renewal processes; (iv) reporting to the Trustees its recommendations and decisions regarding the foregoing matters; (v) assisting in the preparation of a written record of the factors considered by Trustees relating to the approval and renewal of advisory and sub-advisory agreements; (vi) recommending to the Board specific steps to be taken by it regarding the contracts approval and renewal process, including, for example, proposed schedules of meetings of the Trustees; and (vii) otherwise providing assistance in connection with Board decisions to renew, reject, or modify agreements or plans.

The Contracts Committee currently consists of all nine (9) of the Independent Trustees of the Board. Ms. Pressler currently serves as the Chairperson of the Contracts Committee. The Contracts Committee typically meets six (6) times per year and may hold special meetings by telephone or in person to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the next regular meeting. The Contracts Committee held five (5) meetings during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019.

Investment Review Committees. The Board has established, for all of the funds under its direction, the following three Investment Review Committees (each an “IRC” and collectively the “IRCs”): (i) the Joint Investment Review Committee (“Joint IRC”); (ii) the Investment Review Committee E (formerly known as the Domestic Equity Funds Investment Review Committee) (“IRC E”); and (iii) the Investment Review Committee F (formerly known as the International/Balanced/Fixed Income Funds Investment Review Committee) (“IRC F”). The funds are allocated among IRCs periodically by the Board as the Board deems appropriate to balance

the workloads of the IRCs and to have similar types of funds or funds with the same investment sub-adviser or the same portfolio management team assigned to the same IRC. Each IRC performs the following functions, among other things: (i) monitoring the investment performance of the funds in the Voya family of funds that are assigned to that Committee; and (ii) making recommendations to the Board with respect to investment management activities performed by the advisers and/or sub-advisers on behalf of such Voya funds, and reviewing and making recommendations regarding proposals by management to retain new or additional sub-advisers for these Voya funds. Each Fund is monitored by the IRCs, as indicated below. Each committee is described below.

	Joint IRC	IRC E	IRC F

The Joint IRC currently consists of all nine (9) Independent Trustees of the Board. Ms. Chadwick currently serves as the Chairperson of the Joint IRC.

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board has established a Nominating and Governance Committee for the purpose of, among other things: (i) identifying and recommending to the Board candidates it proposes for nomination to fill Independent Trustee vacancies on the Board; (ii) reviewing workload and capabilities of Independent Trustees and recommending changes to the size or composition of the Board, as necessary; (iii) monitoring regulatory developments and recommending modifications to the Committee’s responsibilities; (iv) considering and, if appropriate, recommending the creation of additional committees or changes to Trustee policies and procedures based on rule changes and “best practices” in corporate governance; (v) conducting an annual review of the membership and chairpersons of all Board committees and of practices relating to such membership and chairpersons; (vi) undertaking a periodic study of compensation paid to independent board members of investment companies and making recommendations for any compensation changes for the Independent Trustees; (vii) overseeing the Board’s annual self-evaluation process; (viii) developing

In evaluating potential candidates to fill Independent Trustee vacancies on the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider a variety of factors, but it has not at this time set any specific minimum qualifications that must be met. Specific qualifications of candidates for Board membership will be based on the needs of the Board at the time of nomination. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider nominations received from shareholders and shall assess shareholder nominees in the same manner as it reviews nominees that it identifies as potential candidates. A shareholder nominee for Trustee should be submitted in writing to each Fund’s Secretary at 7337 East Doubletree Ranch Road, Suite 100, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258-2034. Any such shareholder nomination should include at least the following information as to each individual proposed for nomination as Trustee: such person’s written consent to be named in a proxy statement as a nominee (if nominated) and to serve as a Trustee (if elected), and all information relating to such individual that is required to be disclosed in the solicitation of proxies for election of Trustees, or is otherwise required, in each case under applicable federal securities laws, rules, and regulations, including such information as the Board may reasonably deem necessary to satisfy its oversight and due diligence duties.

The Secretary shall submit all nominations received in a timely manner to the Nominating and Governance Committee. To be timely in connection with a shareholder meeting to elect Trustees, any such submission must be delivered to each Fund’s Secretary not earlier than the 90th day prior to such meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made, by either the disclosure in a press release or in a document publicly filed by each Fund with the SEC.

The Nominating and Governance Committee currently consists of all nine (9) of the Independent Trustees of the Board. Mr. Obermeyer currently serves as the Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee typically meets four (4) times per year and on an as-needed basis. The Nominating and Governance Committee held four (4) meetings during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019.

The Board’s Risk Oversight Role

The day-to-day management of various risks relating to the administration and operation of each Fund and each Fund is the responsibility of management and other service providers retained by the Board or by management, most of whom employ professional personnel who have risk management responsibilities. The Board oversees this risk management function consistent with and as part of its oversight duties. The Board performs this risk management oversight function directly and, with respect to various matters, through its committees. The following description provides an overview of many, but not all, aspects of the Board’s oversight of risk management for each Fund. In this connection, the Board has been advised that it is not practicable to identify all of the risks that may impact each Fund or to develop procedures or controls that are designed to eliminate all such risk exposures, and that applicable securities law regulations do not contemplate that all such risks be identified and addressed.

The Board, working with management personnel and other service providers, has endeavored to identify the primary risks that confront each Fund. In general, these risks include, among others: (i) investment risks; (ii) credit risks; (iii) liquidity risks; (iv) valuation risks; (v) operational risks; (vi) reputational risks; (vii) regulatory risks; (viii) risks related to potential legislative changes; (ix) the risk of conflicts of interest affecting Voya affiliates in managing each Fund; and (x) cybersecurity risks. The Board has adopted and periodically reviews various policies and procedures that are designed to address these and other risks confronting each Fund. In addition, many service providers to each Fund have adopted their own policies, procedures, and controls designed to address particular risks to each Fund. The Board and persons retained to render advice and service to the Board periodically review and/or monitor changes to, and developments relating to, the effectiveness of these policies and procedures.

The Board oversees risk management activities in part through receipt and review by the Board or its committees of regular and special reports, presentations and other information from Officers of each Fund, including the CCOs for each Fund and the Adviser and each Fund’s Chief Investment Risk Officer (“CIRO”), and from other service providers. For example, management personnel and the other persons make regular reports and presentations to: (i) the Compliance Committee regarding compliance with regulatory requirements and oversight of cybersecurity practices by each Fund and key service providers; (ii) the IRCs regarding investment activities and strategies that may pose particular risks; (iii) the Audit Committee with respect to financial reporting controls and internal audit activities; (iv) the Nominating and Governance Committee regarding corporate governance and best practice developments; and (v) the Contracts Committee regarding regulatory and related developments that might impact the retention of service providers to each Fund. The CIRO oversees an Investment Risk Department (“IRD”) that provides an additional source of analysis and research for Board members in connection with their oversight of the investment process and performance of portfolio managers. Among its other duties, the IRD seeks

to identify and, where practicable, measure the investment risks being taken by each Fund’s portfolio managers. Although the IRD works closely with management of each Fund in performing its duties, the CIRO is directly accountable to, and maintains an ongoing dialogue with, the Independent Trustees.

Trustee Compensation

Each Trustee is reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with each meeting of the Board or any of its Committee meetings attended. Each Independent Trustee is compensated for his or her services, on a quarterly basis, according to a fee schedule adopted by the Board. The Board may from time to time designate other meetings as subject to compensation.

Each Fund pays each Trustee who is not an interested person of the Fund his or her pro rata share, as described below, of: (i) an annual retainer of $250,000; (ii) Mr. Boyer, as the Chairperson of the Board, receives an additional annual retainer of $100,000; (iii) Mses. Baldwin, Chadwick, and Pressler and Messrs. Gavin, Jones, Obermeyer, and Sullivan, as the Chairpersons of Committees of the Board, each receives an additional annual retainer of $30,000, $30,000, $65,000, $30,000, $30,000, $30,000, and $30,000, respectively; (iv) $10,000 per attendance at any of the regularly scheduled meetings (four (4) quarterly meetings, two (2) auxiliary meetings, and two (2) annual contract review meetings); and (v) out-of-pocket expenses. The Board at its discretion may from time to time designate other special meetings as subject to an attendance fee in the amount of $5,000 for in-person meetings and $2,500 for special telephonic meetings.

The pro rata share paid by each Fund is based on each Fund’s average net assets as a percentage of the average net assets of all the funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliate for which the Trustees serve in common as Trustees.

Appendix C details the compensation paid to the Trustees by each Fund and by all the Voya funds in the family of funds.

Trustee Ownership of Securities

In order to further align the interests of the Independent Trustees with shareholders, it is the policy of the Board for Independent Trustees to own, beneficially, shares of one or more funds in the Voya family of funds at all times (“Ownership Policy”). For this purpose, beneficial ownership of shares of a Voya fund includes, in addition to direct ownership of Voya fund shares, ownership of a variable contract whose proceeds are invested in a Voya fund within the Voya family of funds, as well as deferred compensation payments under the Board’s deferred compensation arrangements pursuant to which the future value of such payments is based on the notional value of designated funds within the Voya family of funds.

The Ownership Policy requires the initial value of investments in the Voya family of funds that are directly or indirectly owned by the Trustees to equal or exceed the annual retainer fee for Board services (excluding any annual retainers for service as chairpersons of the Board or its committees or as members of committees), as such retainer shall be adjusted from time to time.

The Ownership Policy provides that existing Trustees shall have a reasonable amount of time from the date of any recent or future increase in the minimum ownership requirements in order to satisfy the minimum share ownership requirements. In addition, the Ownership Policy provides that a new Trustee shall satisfy the minimum share ownership requirements within a reasonable amount of time of becoming a Trustee. For purposes of the Ownership Policy, a reasonable period of time will be deemed to be, as applicable, no more than three years after a Trustee has assumed that position with the Voya family of funds or no more than one year after an increase in the minimum share ownership requirement due to changes in annual Board retainer fees. A decline in value of any fund investments will not cause a Trustee to have to make any additional investments under this Policy.

Investment in mutual funds of the Voya family of funds by the Trustees pursuant to this Ownership Policy is subject to: (i) policies, applied by the mutual funds of the Voya family of funds to other similar investors, that are designed to prevent inappropriate market timing trading practices; and (ii) any provisions of the Code of Ethics for the Voya family of funds that otherwise apply to the Trustees.

Appendix D provides the dollar value of all of the shares of each Fund and all of the funds in the Voya family of funds held directly or indirectly by each Trustee as of a recent date.

Officers of each Fund

Each Fund’s officers are elected by the Board and hold office until their successors are chosen and qualified, or until they sooner resign, are removed, or are otherwise disqualified to serve. The officers of each Fund, together with each person’s position with each Fund and principal occupation for the last five years, are listed in Appendix E.

Officer Compensation

The officers, who are also officers or employees of Voya Investments, LLC or its affiliates, are compensated by Voya Investments, LLC or its affiliates. The officers are not paid by each Fund.

General Information about the Proxy Statement

Who is asking for my vote?

The Board is soliciting your vote for the Annual Meeting of shareholders.

How is my proxy being solicited?

Solicitation of proxies is being made primarily by the mailing of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Proxy Statement, and the Proxy Ballot on or about May 24, 2019. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, employees of the investment adviser, and its affiliates, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, telegraph, facsimile, or oral communications.

If a shareholder wishes to participate in the Annual Meeting, the shareholder may mail the Proxy Ballot originally sent with the Proxy Statement, attend in person, vote telephonically, or vote online by logging on to www.proxyvote.com/voya and following the online directions. Should shareholders require additional information regarding the proxy or require replacement of the Proxy Ballot, they may contact Shareholder Services toll-free at 1-800-992-0180.

What happens to my proxy once I submit it?

The Board has named Huey P. Falgout, Jr., Secretary, Theresa K. Kelety, Assistant Secretary, and Todd Modic, Assistant Secretary, or one or more substitutes designated by them, as proxies who are authorized to vote Fund shares as directed by shareholders.

Can I revoke my proxy after I submit it?

A shareholder may revoke their proxy at any time prior to its use by filing with your Fund a written revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. In addition, any shareholder who attends the Annual Meeting in person may vote by ballot at the Annual Meeting, thereby canceling any proxy previously given.

How will my shares be voted?

If you follow the voting instructions, your proxies will vote your shares as you have directed. If you submitted your Proxy Ballot but did not vote on the proposals, your proxies will vote on the proposals as recommended by the Board. If any other matter is properly presented, your proxies will vote in their discretion in accordance with their best judgment, including on any proposal to adjourn the meeting. At the time this Proxy Statement was printed, the Board knew of no matter that needed to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting other than the proposal discussed in this Proxy Statement.

Quorum and Tabulation

Each shareholder of each Fund is entitled to one vote for each share held as to any matter on which such shareholder is entitled to vote and for each fractional share that is owned, the shareholder shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. A majority of shares entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum.

Adjournments

If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, if there are insufficient votes to approve the Proposal, or for any other reason deemed appropriate by your proxies, your proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting to permit additional time for the solicitation of proxies. Solicitation of votes may continue to be made without any obligation to provide any additional notice of the adjournment. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournments in their discretion.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

If a shareholder abstains from voting as to any matter, or if a broker returns a “non-vote” proxy, indicating a lack of authority to vote on a matter, then the shares represented by such abstention or non-vote will be treated as shares that are present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. However, abstentions and broker non-votes will be disregarded in determining the “votes cast” on a proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election of Trustees, except that with respect to IGA and IGD they will have the effect of a vote against the election of Trustees.

How many shares are outstanding?

Appendix F sets forth the number of shares of each Fund issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. Shares have no preemptive or subscription rights.

Appendix G lists the persons that, as of April 15, 2019, owned beneficially or of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of each Fund. To the best of each Fund’s knowledge, as of April 15, 2019, no Trustee or officers owned 1% or more of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of April 15, 2019, none of the Independent Trustees nor their immediate family members owned any shares of the Adviser or principal underwriter or of any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser or principal underwriter (not including registered investment companies).

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, as applied to each Fund, require each Fund’s officers, Trustees, investment adviser, affiliates of the investment adviser, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of each Fund’s outstanding securities (“Reporting Persons”), to file reports of ownership of each Fund’s

securities and changes in such ownership with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange. Such persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish each Fund with copies of all such filings.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it and written representations from certain Reporting Persons, each Fund believes that during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019, its Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements.

Shareholder Communications with the Board

Shareholders may send other communications to the Board, a Committee thereof, or an individual Trustee. Such communications should be sent to each Fund’s Secretary at the address on the front of this Proxy Statement.

What is the deadline to submit a proposal for the next Annual Meeting?

It is anticipated that the next annual meeting will be held in July 2020, but the exact date, time, and location of such meeting have yet to be determined. Any proposals of shareholders that are intended to be presented at the next annual meeting must be in writing and received at each Fund principal executive offices no later than January 23, 2020, in order for the proposal to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for that meeting. The submission of a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion in the proxy statement or presentation at the meeting.

In addition, pursuant to relevant SEC proxy rules, a company may use discretionary voting authority to vote on matters coming before an annual meeting of shareholders if the company does not have notice of the matter at least 45 days before the date corresponding to the date on which the company first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders or the date specified by an overriding advance notice provision in the company’s bylaws. As each Fund’s bylaws do not contain such an advance notice provision, for each Fund’s 2020 Annual Meeting of shareholders, shareholders must submit to such Fund written notice of a shareholder proposal on or before April 7, 2020.

Who are each Fund’s independent public accountants?

The Board has selected the accounting firm of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the independent auditor of each Fund for the current fiscal year.

As part of its oversight of each Fund’s financial statements, in April 2019, the Audit Committee held a telephonic meeting to review and discuss with the Adviser and KPMG each Fund’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019. The Audit Committee discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard 1301, Communications with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee has also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG pursuant to PCAOB Rule 3526 and discussed KPMG’s independence with KPMG.

Based on the reviews and discussion referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in each Fund’s Annual Reports to shareholders.

Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board

Colleen D. Baldwin

Martin J. Gavin (Chairperson)
Joseph E. Obermeyer
Roger B. Vincent

The fees paid to KPMG for professional audit services during each Fund’s most recent fiscal years ended February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2019, amounts billed for other services rendered by KPMG to each Fund, and the aggregate non-audit fees billed by KPMG for services rendered to each Fund, the Adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to each Fund for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2019 are described in Appendix H.

All of the services provided by the independent public accountants were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures adopted by the Audit Committee. Pursuant to such policies and procedures, the Audit Committee approves: (i) all audit and non-audit services to be rendered to each Fund by KPMG; and (ii) all non-audit services impacting the operations and financial reporting of each Fund provided by KPMG to the Adviser or any affiliate thereof that provides ongoing services to each Fund (collectively, “Covered Services”). The Audit Committee has adopted pre- approval procedures authorizing one or more members of the Audit Committee to approve from time to time, on behalf of the Audit Committee, all Covered Services to be provided by KPMG which are not otherwise approved at a meeting of the Audit Committee, provided that such delegate reports to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The pre-approval procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management. Pre-approval has not been waived with respect to any of the services described above since the date on which the Audit Committee adopted its current pre-approval procedures.

The Audit Committee of the Board has considered and will periodically consider whether KPMG’s provision of non-audit services to the Adviser and all entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to each Fund that were not required to be pre- approved is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG.

Representatives of KPMG are not expected to be at the Annual Meeting but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they wish.

Why did my household only receive one copy of this Proxy Statement?

Only one copy of this Proxy Statement may be mailed to each household, even if more than one person in the household is a Fund shareholder of record, unless your Fund has received contrary instructions from one or more of the household’s

shareholders. If a shareholder needs an additional copy of this Proxy Statement, please contact Shareholder Services at 1-800-992-0180.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

Each Fund will pay the expenses incurred in connection with the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Proxy Statement, and the Annual Meeting, including printing, mailing, vote tabulation, legal, and out of pocket expenses.
