Voya Global Perspectives

A Transparent, Rules-Based Approach to Help Clients Build Wealth

 

Voya Global Perspectives believes fundamentals drive markets and, paired with a rules-based investment discipline, may remove emotion from investing and avoid the folly of gaming diversification. Using the Global Perspectives investment philosophy as a framework, a transparent rules-based approach is applied consistently to help clients build wealth.

“Gaming diversification” — reactively chasing returns based on short-term fads or abandoning assets that underperform — tends to expose investors to unintended risks and leads to disappointing results. Global Perspectives uses a disciplined allocation signal to emphasize risk mitigation by employing a defensive positioning when negative year-over-year earnings growth is observed. Following the signal allows the portfolio to adapt to fundamental market drivers while avoiding timing errors and high transaction costs of frequent trading.

Current Positioning of GP Portfolios: Base

For the quarter ending June 30, 2024 — actual company reporting finishing in September 2024 — the YoY earnings growth for the S&P 500 companies was greater than 10%. Accordingly, in early October 2024, GP will maintain base positioning and investments in Global Perspectives’ three growth portfolios and the income portfolio across all series will rebalance asset allocation as noted in the table below.

Principal Risks

All investing involves risks of fluctuating prices and the uncertainties of rates of return and yield. Asset Allocation: The success of the Fund’s strategy depends on the Adviser’s or Sub-Adviser’s skill in allocating Fund assets between the asset classes and in choosing investments within those categories. There is a risk that the Fund may allocate assets to an asset class that underperforms other asset classes. Investment Model: The Fund or certain underlying funds invest based on a proprietary model managed by the manager. The manager’s proprietary model may not adequately address existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors. Other Investment Companies: The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Fund or an underlying fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund and a proportionate share of the expenses of each underlying fund. Interest Rate: With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund or the underlying funds experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies due to smaller markets different reporting, accounting and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or political changes or diplomatic developments. Other risks of the Fund include but are not limited to Credit, High-Yield Securities Investments, Call, Company, Currency, Liquidity, Market, Market Capitalization, Real Estate Companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts, U.S. Government Securities and Obligations. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

The S&P Target Risk Moderate Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of a hypothetical, multi-asset portfolio designed to provide significant exposure to fixed income, while also providing increased opportunity for capital growth through equities.

The S&P Target Risk Aggressive Index concentrates on exposure to equities to benefit from opportunities for long-term capital accumulation. To enhance portfolio efficiency, it may include small allocations to fixed income.

The S&P Target Risk Conservative Index emphasizes exposure to fixed income to maintain a consistent income stream and manage volatility.

The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index measures global investment grade debt from twenty-four local currency markets including treasury, government-related, corporate and securitized fixed-rate bonds from both developed and emerging markets issuers.

Indices do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, taxes or other expenses of investing. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
