The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Portfolio will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See above "Average Annual Total Returns %" for performance information current to the most recent month-end.
Returns for the other share classes will vary due to different charges and expenses. Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes.
Total investment return at net asset value has been calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value at the beginning of the period and a sale at net asset value at the end of the period; and assumes reinvestment of dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions/allocations, if any, in accordance with the provisions of the dividend reinvestment plan. Net asset value equals total Fund assets net of Fund expenses such as operating costs and management fees. Total investment return at net asset value is not annualized for periods less than one year.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund. This expense limitation agreement excludes interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses, and extraordinary expenses and may be subject to possible recoupment. Please see the Fund's prospectus for more information. The expense limits will continue through at least 2023-10-01. Expenses are being waived to the contractual cap. The Fund's Acquired (Underlying) Funds Fees and Expenses are based on a weighted average of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. The amount of fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds borne by the Fund will vary based on the Fund's allocation of assets to, and annualized net expenses of, the particular Underlying Funds during the Fund's fiscal year.
The Standard and Poor's Target Risk Growth Total Return Index seeks to provide significant exposure to equities, while also providing increased limited fixed income exposure to diversify risk. The index returns include the reinvestment of dividends and distributions net of withholding taxes, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or other expenses. Investors cannot directly invest in an index.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

| 3 Year | 5 Year | 10 Year | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Deviation Standard Deviation: A measure of the degree to which an individual probability value varies from the distribution mean. The higher the number, the greater the risk. | 13.56 | 14.70 | 11.51 |
| Beta Beta: The sensitivity of a portfolio's returns to changes in the return of the market as measured by the index or benchmark that represents the market. A portfolio with a beta of 1.0 behaves exactly like the index. A beta less than 1.0 suggests lower risk than the index, while a beta greater than 1.0 indicates a risk level higher than the index. | 1.11 | 1.20 | 1.19 |
| R2 R2: The proportion of the variation in a portfolio's returns that can be explained by the variability of the returns of an index. High R-squared (close to 1.0) is usually consistent with broad diversification. | 0.98 | 0.97 | 0.97 |
| Alpha Alpha: A measure of risk-adjusted performance; alpha reflects the difference between a portfolio's actual return and the return that could be expected give its risk as measured by beta. | -1.31 | -2.29 | -2.19 |
| Sharpe Ratio Sharpe Ratio: A risk-adjusted measure calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the portfolio's historical risk-adjusted performance. | 0.10 | 0.16 | 0.38 |
| Information Ratio Information Ratio: The ratio of portfolio returns in excess of a market index to the variability of those excess returns; in effect, information ratio describes the value added by active management in relation to the risk taken to achieve those returns. | -0.53 | -0.57 | -0.55 |

Principal Risks
All investing involves risks of fluctuating prices and the uncertainties of rates of return and yield inherent in investing. This Fund may be suitable for those with an investment horizon of more than five years. May Allocate Assets to a fund or market that underperforms other asset classes. Foreign Investing does pose special risks including currency fluctuation, economic and political risks not found in investments that are solely domestic. Risks are intensified in Emerging Markets. Risks of the REIT's are similar to those associated with direct ownership of Real Estate, such as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and credit worthiness of the issuer. As Interest Rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of the Fund's share price. High-Yield, Lower-Grade Debt Securities are highly speculative and more volatile. The Fund may select and substitute Underlying Funds and may be subject to potential conflicts of interest based upon the fact that fees paid to Voya Investment Management by some Underlying Funds may be higher than fees paid by other Underlying Funds. Other risks of the Fund include but are not limited to: Credit Risks; Debt Securities Risks; Market Trends Risks; Other Investment Companies' Risks; Price Volatility Risks; and Portfolio Turnover Risks. Investors should consult the Funds' Prospectus and Statements of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion of the Funds' risks.
