C000097879 Investment Objective and Strategy

Voya Australia Index Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Voya VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS INC.

Investment objective

The Portfolio seeks investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to the total return (which includes capital appreciation and income) of the S&P ASX 200 Index (“Index”).

Principal investment strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies, which are at the time of purchase, included in the Index; convertible securities that are convertible into stocks included in the Index; other derivatives whose economic returns are, by design, closely equivalent to the returns of the Index or its components; and exchange-traded funds that track the Index. The Portfolio will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in this investment policy. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests all or substantially all of its assets in these securities. The Portfolio may invest in other investment companies to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder (1940 Act).

The Portfolio currently invests principally in common stocks and employs a passive management approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The Index is a market-capitalization weighted and float-adjusted stock market index of Australian stocks listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Index covers approximately 80% of Australian equity market capitalization. As of February 28, 2018, a portion of the Index was concentrated in the financials sector, a portion of the Index was focused in the materials sector and a portion of the Index was invested in real estate-related securities, including real estate investment trusts. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means it may invest a significant portion of its assets in a single issuer. The Portfolio may not always hold all of the same securities as the Index.

The Portfolio may also invest in stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of securities in the Index and to provide equity exposure to the Portfolio's cash position as well as forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge currency risk. Although the Portfolio attempts to track, as closely as possible, the performance of the Index, the Portfolio does not always perform exactly like the Index. Unlike the Index, the Portfolio has operating expenses and transaction costs and therefore has a performance disadvantage versus the Index. The sub-adviser (Sub-Adviser) may sell a security when the security's percentage weighting in the Index is reduced, when the security is removed from the Index, or for other reasons. The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 33 1 /3% of its total assets.
