C000175116 Investment Objective and Strategy

Voya U.s. High Dividend Low Volatility 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 to maximize total return.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of issuers included in the Russell 1000 Index (Index). The sub-adviser (Sub-Adviser) seeks to maximize total return to the extent consistent with maintaining lower volatility than the Index. Volatility generally measures how much a funds returns have varied over a specified time frame. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments including, but not limited to, index futures. The Fund typically uses derivatives as a substitute for purchasing securities included in the Index or for the purpose of maintaining equity market exposure on its cash balance. 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 an internally developed quantitative computer model to create a target universe of securities with above average dividend yields compared to the Index, which the Sub-Adviser believes exhibit stable and growing dividend yields within each industry sector. The model also seeks to exclude from the target universe securities issued by companies that the Sub-Adviser believes exhibit characteristics that indicate they are at risk of reducing or eliminating the dividends paid on their securities. Once the Sub-Adviser creates this target universe, the Sub-Adviser seeks to identify the most attractive securities within each sector by ranking each security relative to other securities within its sector using proprietary fundamental sector-specific models. The Sub-Adviser then uses optimization techniques to seek to achieve the portfolios target dividend yield, manage target beta, determine active weights, and neutralize sector exposures in order to create a portfolio that the Sub-Adviser believes will provide the potential for maximum total return consistent with maintaining lower volatility than the Index.

Under certain market conditions, the Fund will likely earn a lower level of total return than it would in the absence of its strategy of maintaining a relatively low level of volatility. The Sub-Adviser will rebalance the portfolio on a quarterly basis in accordance with its target parameters. The rebalancing techniques may result in higher portfolio turnover compared to a buy and hold strategy. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 33 1 /3% of its total assets.
