The third paragraph of the subsection entitled “Portfolio Managers — Compensation” is deleted and replaced with the following:

 

Voya IM has defined indices (the S&P 500 ®  Index for Mr. Corapi and Mr. Costa as portfolio managers for Core Equity Research Fund; the S&P 500 ®  Index for Mr. Costa, Mr. Wetter and Ms. Wong as portfolio managers for Corporate Leaders 100 Fund; the Russell 1000 ®  Growth Index for Mr. Corapi, Mr. Pytosh,

 



 

and Mr. Bianchi as portfolio managers for Large Cap Growth Fund; the Russell 2000 ®  Index for Mr. Basset, Mr. Hasso, and Mr. Salopek as portfolio managers for Small Company Fund; and the Russell Mid Cap ®  Value Index for Mr. Corapi, Mr. Hasso, and Mr. Madonick as portfolio managers for Mid Cap Value Advantage Fund); and set performance goals to appropriately reflect requirements for the investment team. The measures for the team are outlined on a “scorecard” that is reviewed on an annual basis. These scorecards measure investment performance versus benchmark and peer groups over one-, three-, and five-year periods; and year-to-date net cash flow (changes in the accounts’ net assets not attributable to changes in the value of the accounts’ investments) and revenue growth for all accounts managed by the team. The results for overall Voya IM scorecards are typically calculated on an asset weighted performance basis of the individual team scorecards.
