Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trade on an exchange, just like stocks or bonds. This means you can buy or sell shares throughout the trading day at market prices. This flexibility is one reason ETFs have become so popular.
But what makes an ETF liquid? Two things: the securities inside the ETF and the role of market makers who facilitate trading.
When an ETF holds widely traded securities, market makers can easily create or redeem shares as needed. Market makers also match buyers with sellers, which helps keep ETF prices in line with the actual value of the underlying holdings

A note about risk
An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund(s) carefully before investing. For a free copy of the Fund’s prospectus or summary prospectus, which contains this and other information, visit us at www.voyaetfs.com or call (800) 334-3444. Please read all materials carefully before investing. Investment Risks: All investing involves risks of fluctuating prices and the uncertainties of rates of return and yield inherent in investing. You could lose money on your investment and any of the following risks, among others, could affect investment performance. Risks of investing in the Fund include but are not limited to: Interest Rate Risk: Generally, the value of fixed income securities will change inversely with changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value of fixed income securities tends to decrease. Conversely, as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed income securities tends to increase. High Yield Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk: High-yield bonds are considered speculative investments and are issued by entities that may be undergoing restructuring, are smaller or less creditworthy, or are more heavily indebted than other issuers. These bonds carry a greater risk of income and principal loss compared to higher-rated securities and are considered speculative. Their prices are more likely to react to adverse economic changes than higher-rated securities. Collateralized Loan Obligations and Other Collateralized Obligations Risk: A collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) is an obligation of a trust or other special purpose vehicle typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include senior secured and unsecured loans and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade, or equivalent unrated loans. The risks of investing in a CLO can generally be summarized as a combination of economic risks of the underlying loans combined with the risks associated with the CLO structure governing the priority of payments, and include interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, prepayment and extension risk, and the risk of default of the underlying asset, among others. Mortgage- and/or Asset-Backed Securities Risk: 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 debt instruments. Duration Risk: Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Derivatives Risk: The Fund’s derivative investments have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying assets or index; the loss of principal, including the potential loss of amounts greater than the initial amount invested in the derivative instrument; the possible default of the other party to the transaction; and illiquidity of the derivative investments. Environmental, Social, and Governance Risk: 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. Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets Risk: 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 the threat of new or modified sanctions) or other measures by the U.S. or other governments and supranational organizations. Inflation-Indexed Bonds Risk: If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted downward, and consequently, the interest payable on these bonds (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. In addition, inflation-indexed bonds are subject to the usual risks associated with debt instruments, such as interest rate and credit risk. Liquidity Risk: The Fund is subject to the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector. New Fund Risk: The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.
