Voya Small Cap Growth Fund - Class I

On October 4, 2022, we announced the following changes relative to the team that manages Voya’s Small Cap Growth strategy effective January 1, 2023: Richard Johnson, CFA, transitioned to senior portfolio adviser and will leave Voya Investment Management in mid-2023; Michael Coyne, CFA, has been named the lead portfolio manager as the named successor of the Small Cap Growth team.

Effective October 7, 2022, the Small Cap Opportunities Fund merged into the Small Cap Growth Fund.

Voya Small Cap Growth Fund was launched on or about April 4, 2022 after Voya’s acquisition of the investment advisory business of Tygh Capital Management (TCM) on January 1, 2022. In connection with this acquisition, the Board approved the reorganization of the TCM Small Cap Growth Fund with and into the Voya Small Cap Growth Fund. The historic performance provided prior to the launch date is that of the TCM Fund’s I share. This performance information reflects applicable fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, during the period shown and absent such fee waivers/expense limitations performance would have been lower. Performance for other share classes would differ to the extent they have differences in their fees and expenses. As a result of the reorganization, the TCM Fund’s shareholders received Class I shares of the Fund.
