C000175115 Investment Objective and Strategy

Voya Smid Cap Growth Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Voya EQUITY TRUST.

Investment objective

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth.

Principal investment strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior notice of any change in this investment policy. The Fund normally invests in the equity securities of companies that the sub-adviser (Sub-Adviser) believes have above average prospects for growth. For this Fund, the Sub-Adviser defines small- and mid-capitalization companies as those with market capitalizations that fall within the range of companies in the Russell 2500 TM Growth Index (Index) at the time of purchase. The market capitalization of companies in the Index will change with market conditions. The market capitalization of companies in the Index as of June 30, 2018, ranged from $51.9 million to $14.5 billion.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities and the Fund may also invest in real estate-related securities, including real estate investment trusts. The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and exemptive orders thereunder (1940 Act). The Sub-Adviser uses a disciplined combination of quantitative screens and bottom-up fundamental security analysis to build a broadly diversified portfolio of securities issued by companies that the Sub-Adviser believes will have improving bottom lines with reasonable valuation, and whose securities demonstrate relative strength. The security analysis focuses on the prospects for continued bottom-line growth, balance sheet strength, and cash flow characteristics.

A determination of reasonable valuation for individual securities is based on the judgment of the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 33 1 /3% of its total assets.
