1 A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares made within 18 months after purchase where no initial sales charge was paid at the time of purchase as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
2 The Fund’s Management Fee structure is a “bifurcated fee” structure as follows: an annual rate of 0.18% of the Fund’s average daily net assets invested in Underlying Funds within the Voya family of funds; and 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets invested in direct investments, which include, but are not limited to, a security issued by an investment company that is not part of the Voya family of funds, including exchange-traded funds, a security issued by a non-mutual fund issuer, such as an operating company, and derivative instruments other than call options written by the Fund’s sub-adviser.
3 Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses may be higher than the Fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
4 The adviser is contractually obligated to limit expenses to 1.30%, 2.05%, 0.99%, 1.55%, 0.99%, 1.30% and 1.05% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R, Class R6, Class T, and Class W shares, respectively, through March 1, 2021. 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 adviser within 36 months of the waiver or reimbursement. Termination or modification of this obligation requires approval by the Fund’s board.
Expense Example
The 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:
Class Share Status   1 Yr 3 Yrs 5 Yrs 10 Yrs
A Sold or Held $ 694 946 1,217 1,989
C Sold $ 302 624 1,073 2,317
  Held $ 202 624 1,073 2,317
I Sold or Held $ 97 303 525 1,166
R Sold or Held $ 152 471 813 1,779
R6 Sold or Held $ 101 430 783 1,778
T Sold or Held $ 373 634 914 1,712
W Sold or Held $ 101 315 547 1,213
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 mean higher taxes if you are investing 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 80% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives through a combination of strategic allocation to a diversified portfolio of other funds (“Underlying Funds”) invested in: global equity; fixed-income, which may include floating rate loans and emerging markets debt; and real estate securities and real estate investment trusts; combined with a managed payment policy (the “Managed Payment Policy”). The Underlying Funds may or may not be affiliated with the investment adviser.
The Fund normally invests at least 65% of its assets in Underlying Funds affiliated with the investment adviser, although the sub-adviser (“Sub-Adviser”) may in its discretion invest up to 35% of the Fund’s assets in Underlying Funds that are not affiliated with the investment adviser, including exchange-traded funds, to make tactical allocations and/or to gain exposure to equity securities, fixed-income securities or alternative strategies. The Underlying Funds will invest in the securities of issuers in a number of different countries, one of which may be the United States.
The Managed Payment Policy is designed to provide 12 level monthly payments throughout each calendar year. The Fund will make a level payment of $0.038 per share for Class A shares, $0.034 per share for Class C shares, $0.040 per share for Class I shares, $0.036 per share for Class R shares, $0.040 per share for Class R6 shares, $0.038 per share for Class T shares, and $0.040 per share for Class W shares for 2020 based on annual payment rates of 5.75% for Class A shares, 5.00% for Class C shares, 6.06% for Class I shares, 5.50% for Class R shares, 6.06% for Class R6 shares, 5.75% for Class T shares, and 6.06% for Class W shares. The Fund's sub-adviser (“Sub-Adviser”), in its discretion and with assistance from the Fund's investment adviser, will determine a new annual payment rate each January from within the total range for all share classes between 4.25% to 7.25% per annum based on the Fund's objectives, net asset value evolution, and fee structure of each class of the Fund's shares, as well as the Sub-Adviser's assessment of the market environment and its asset allocation views. The annual rate of any class will range between 4.25% and 7.25%. Because the Fund is expected to make level monthly payments, the amount of the Fund’s distributions in respect of any period may exceed the amount of the Fund’s income and gains for that period. In that case, some or all of the Fund’s
Summary Prospectus

distributions would constitute a return of capital to shareholders. Historically, a substantial portion of the Fund’s distributions has included a return of capital.
The Fund uses a proprietary asset allocation strategy to determine the percentage of the Fund's net assets to invest in each of the Underlying Funds (the “Target Allocations”). Under normal conditions, approximately 63% of the Fund's net assets will be allocated to Underlying Funds investing in equity securities; and approximately 37% of the Fund's net assets will be allocated to Underlying Funds investing in fixed-income securities, including floating rate loans and emerging markets debt. As these are Target Allocations, the actual allocations of the Fund's assets may deviate from the percentages shown. The Target Allocations are measured with reference to the primary strategies of the Underlying Funds; actual exposures to equity securities and fixed-income securities will vary from the Target Allocations if an Underlying Fund is not substantially invested in accordance with its primary strategy.
The Sub-Adviser seeks to diversify the Fund's equity holdings by including Underlying Funds that invest in companies of all market capitalizations, that invest using a growth style, a value style, or a blend and that invest in companies in both developed countries and countries with emerging securities markets and real estate securities.
The fixed-income portion of the Fund will invest in Underlying Funds that invest in both investment-grade securities and non-investment-grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”). The investment-grade debt securities will have a dollar-weighted average duration between two and ten years. Duration is the most commonly used measure of risk in fixed-income investments as it incorporates multiple features of the fixed-income instrument (e.g., yield, coupon, maturity, etc.) into one number. Duration is a measure of sensitivity of the price of a fixed-income instrument to a change in interest rates. Duration is a weighted average of the times that interest payments and the final return of principal are expected to be received. The weights are the amounts of the payments discounted by the yield-to-maturity of the fixed-income instrument. Duration is expressed as a number of years. The bigger the duration number, the greater the interest-rate risk or reward for the fixed-income instrument prices. For example, the price of a bond with an average duration of five years would be expected to fall approximately 5% if interest rates rose by one percentage point. Conversely, the price of a bond with an average duration of five years would be expected to rise approximately 5% if interest rates drop by one percentage point.
The Fund may also allocate to non-traditional asset classes (also known as alternative strategies) which include commodities.
The Fund will be rebalanced periodically to return to the Target Allocations. The Fund's Target Allocations may be changed, at any time, in accordance with the Fund's asset allocation process. The Fund may periodically deviate from the Target Allocations based on an assessment of the current market conditions or other factors. Generally, the deviations would
be expected to fall in the range of +/- 10% relative to the current Target Allocations. The Sub-Adviser may determine, in light of market conditions or other factors, to deviate by a wider margin in order to protect the Fund, achieve its investment objective or to take advantage of particular opportunities.
The Fund may invest in derivative instruments including futures and swaps (including interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps) to make tactical allocations, as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset, to earn income, and to assist in managing cash.
The Fund also employs a strategy (the “Option Strategy”) of writing (selling) call options (each a “Call Option”) on equity indices, baskets of securities, and exchange-traded funds in an attempt to generate gains from option premiums as a means of enhancing payments. The notional value of the Call Options may not exceed 25% of the Fund's net assets. Because the performance of the securities underlying each Call Option is expected to correlate closely with the performance of one or more Underlying Funds, derivatives, or exchange-traded funds, during the term of each Call Option the Fund will be effectively giving up all or a portion of the benefits it would otherwise realize from a potential increase in the value of such Underlying Funds. Thus, the Option Strategy may limit the Fund's ability to benefit from appreciation of the Underlying Funds. At the same time, the premium received in connection with the sale of Call Options may partially offset potential declines in value of the Underlying Funds during periods of declining markets.
The Fund may utilize additional option strategies, including utilizing call spreads, or purchasing put options, or other types of options to make tactical allocations, as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset, or to earn income.
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 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.
Affiliated Underlying Funds: The manager’s selection of Underlying Funds presents conflicts of interest. The net management fee revenue received by the manager and its affiliates will vary depending on the Underlying Funds it selects for the Fund, and the manager will have an incentive to select the Underlying Funds (whether or not affiliated with the manager) that will result in the greatest net management fee revenue to the manager and its affiliates, even if that results in increased expenses for the Fund. In many cases, investments in affiliated Underlying Funds will afford the manager greater net management fee revenue than would investments in unaffiliated Underlying Funds. In addition, the manager may prefer to invest in an affiliated Underlying Fund over an unaffiliated fund because

the investment may be beneficial to the manager 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. In certain circumstances, the manager would have an incentive to delay or decide against the sale of interests held by the Fund in affiliated Underlying Funds and may implement portfolio 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 than the comparable affiliated Underlying Funds. If the Fund invests in an Underlying Fund with higher expenses, the Fund’s performance would be lower than if the Fund had invested in an Underlying 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).
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 an asset class that underperforms compared to other asset classes or investments.
Commodities: Commodity prices can have significant volatility, and exposure to commodities can cause the net asset value of the Fund’s shares to decline or fluctuate in a rapid and unpredictable manner. A liquid secondary market may not exist for certain commodity investments, which may make it difficult for the Fund to sell them at a desirable price or at the price at which it is carrying them.
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 company goods or services, regulatory fines and judgments, or business challenges. If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless.
Credit: The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
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 swap pays a fee to buy protection against the risk that a security will default. If no default occurs, the Fund will have paid the fee, but typically will recover nothing under the swap. A seller of a swap receives payment(s) in return for an obligation to pay the counterparty the full notional value of a security in the event of a default of the security issuer. As a seller of a 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 underlying asset as expected. Certain standardized 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 central clearing 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.
Derivative Instruments: Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by the Fund. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on the Fund and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the 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 currency, security or other risk 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. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to the risk of improper valuation.
Floating Rate Loans: In the event a borrower fails to pay scheduled interest or principal payments on a floating rate loan, the Fund will experience a reduction in its income and a decline in the market value of such investment. This will likely reduce the amount of dividends paid and may lead to a decline in the net asset value. 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 issuer’s obligations under the loan. Furthermore, such collateral may be difficult to liquidate.
Summary Prospectus    
4 of 8
Voya Global Diversified Payment Fund

 

No active trading market may exist for 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. It may also limit the ability of the Fund to repay debt, pay dividends, or to take advantage of new investment opportunities.
Foreign 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 to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or political changes or diplomatic developments, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions or other measures by the United States 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 investment risks may be greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets.
Growth Investing: Prices of growth stocks are more sensitive to investor perceptions of the issuing company’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 stocks tend to be more volatile than value stocks, and may underperform the market as a whole over any given time period.
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 debt instruments are also more volatile, are more sensitive to negative news about the economy or the issuer, and have greater liquidity and price volatility risk.
Index Strategy: An 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. To the extent an Underlying Fund’s investments track its target index, such Underlying Index Fund may underperform other funds that invest more broadly. 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 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.
Interest Rate: With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this Prospectus, the United States experiences a low interest rate environment, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. To the extent that the Fund invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. 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.
Investment Model: A manager’s proprietary model may not adequately allow for existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors.
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 price at which it sells illiquid securities will be less than the price at which they were valued when held by the Fund. The prices of illiquid securities
Summary Prospectus

Voya Global Diversified Payment Fund

 

may be more volatile than more liquid investments. The risks associated with illiquid securities may be greater in times of financial stress. The Fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Fund.
Managed Payment: Because the Fund is expected to make monthly payments regardless of investment performance, the amount of the Fund’s distributions in respect of any period often will exceed the amount of the Fund’s income and gains for that period. In that case, some or all of the Fund’s distributions would constitute a return of capital to shareholders. It is possible for the Fund to suffer substantial investment losses and simultaneously experience additional asset reductions as a result of its payments to shareholders under the Managed Payment Policy. In addition, in order to make the payments called for under the Fund’s Managed Payment Policy, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a time when it would not otherwise do so.
A return of capital to shareholders will decrease shareholders’ cost basis in the Fund and will affect the amount of any capital gain or loss that shareholders realize when selling or exchanging their shares. A distribution constituting a return of capital is not a distribution of income or capital gains earned by the Fund, and should not be confused with the Fund’s “yield” or “income.”
Market: Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives.
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-sized companies causing a fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in larger 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 larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may be more volatile and may decline significantly in market downturns.
Option Writing: When the Fund writes a covered call option, it assumes the risk that it must sell the underlying security at an exercise price that may be lower than the market price of the security, and it gives up the opportunity to profit from a price increase in the underlying security above the exercise price. In addition, the Fund continues to bear the risk of a decline in the value of the underlying securities.
When the Fund writes an index call option, it assumes the risk that it must pay the purchaser of the option a cash payment equal to any appreciation in the value of the index over the strike price of the call option during the option’s life. While the amount of the Fund’s potential loss is offset by the premium received when the option was written, the amount of the loss is theoretically unlimited. When the Fund purchases a call or put option and that option expires unexercised, the Fund will experience a loss in the amount of the premium it paid.
Other Investment Companies: The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company 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 expenses of the Fund. 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.
Prepayment and Extension: Many types of debt instruments are subject to prepayment and extension risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt instrument will pay back the principal earlier than expected. This may occur when interest rates decline. Prepayment may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. Also, if a debt 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 debt instrument will pay back the principal later than expected. This may occur when interest rates rise. This may negatively affect performance, as the value of the debt 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 (“REITs”): 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, and operating expenses in addition to terrorist attacks, war, or other acts that destroy real property. Investments in REITs are affected

by the management skill and creditworthiness of the REIT. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests.
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. A particular risk of the Fund’s value approach is that some holdings may not recover and provide the capital growth anticipated or a security judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. 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 stocks may underperform other funds that invest more broadly.
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 Fund is the successor to Voya Global Diversified Payment Fund, a former series of Voya Series Fund, Inc. (the “Predecessor Fund”), a mutual fund with identical investment objectives, policies, and restrictions as a result of the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund on or about November 8, 2019 (the “Reorganization Date”). The performance in the bar chart and table prior to the Reorganization Date is that of the Predecessor 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 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.
Because Class R6 shares of the Fund did not have a full year of performance as of the calendar year ended December 31, 2018 and because Class T shares of the Fund had not commenced operations as of the calendar year ended December 31, 2018, no performance information for Class R6 and Class T shares is provided below. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is no guarantee of future results. For the most recent performance figures, go to

1 Effective February 28, 2019 the Fund changed its primary benchmark from the S&P Target Risk® Growth Index Gross to the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index TR because the S&P Target Risk® Moderate Index TR is considered by the Sub-Adviser to be a more appropriate benchmark reflecting the type of securities in which the Fund invests and the Adviser believes it more accurately reflects the investment experience of an investor in the benchmark’s components.

4 The index returns for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index do not reflect deductions for fees, expenses, or taxes. The index returns for the MSCI ACW IndexSM 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.
Under the Fund's Managed Payment Policy, certain distributions may constitute a return of capital, which will have the effect of reducing your cost basis in the Fund's shares and thereby increasing the amount of capital gain, if any, or decreasing the amount of capital loss, if any, that you will realize when selling or exchanging Fund shares.
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. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
