This document is intended only for professional investors and describes a strategy only. Some material shown is compiled from third party sources thought to be reliable, but accuracy and completeness cannot be guaranteed. Any opinions expressed herein reflect our judgment at this date and are subject to change without notice. Neither Voya Investment Management nor any other company or unit belonging to Voya Financial, nor any of its officers, directors, or employees accept any liability or responsibility in respect to the information or any recommendations expressed herein. No liability is accepted for any losses sustained by readers as a result of using this publication or basing decisions on it. The value of your investments may rise or fall. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investments involve risk. The primary risks of investing in market based securities include, but are not limited to, credit risk (the risk that a borrower may default in the payment of interest and/or principal on its loans), interest rate risk (the risk that the yield on an investment will rise and fall in response to changes in market rates of interest), and market risk (the risk that the value of an investment will rise or fall in response to general economic conditions and events). The account information presented in this report is based on the records and information provided by Voya Investment Management. The results may be preliminary and unreconciled and are subject to change. Voya Investment Management does not guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in this portfolio accounting report. The report is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon or construed to be final. Clients are advised to refer to their custodial statements and confirmations for trade and holdings information. Footnotes Portfolio Characteristics The portfolio specific characteristics (such as Average Duration, Average Yield, etc. ) are based on the total portfolio market value including cash and derivatives, as provided by our valuation provider (BNY Mellon) and security characteristics provided by Black. Rock Solutions which utilizes a different pricing hierarchy (Barclays). BNY Mellon prices combined with Barclays analytics will result in different portfolio averages than are reported. Portfolio and Benchmark averages (Duration, Yield to Maturity, Convexity and Average Life) are reported directly from Black. Rock Solutions using Blackrock models and assumptions. As such, the Benchmark Analytics provided above may be different from Barclays. Top ten credit exposures include cash. Ratings The portfolio’s average quality rating is calculated as a market value-weighted average of the rating assigned to all positions, including derivative securities, but excluding non-rated securities held within the portfolio measured and reported as of the date of this report. The "Effective Rating" is determined as follows: Voya IM seeks individual security ratings from three credit rating agencies that are registered with the SEC as nationally recognized statistical rating organizations -- typically Moody's, S&P and Fitch. If ratings are available from all three agencies, the security will be assigned the median rating. If ratings are available from only two of the agencies, the lower of the ratings will be used. If a rating is available from only one agency, then that rating will be used. If ratings are not available from any of the three agencies, then we may either assign the security an internal rating or mark it as "N/R" (not rated). AAA is the highest (best) Effective Rating, and D is the lowest (worst) Effective Rating. When an Effective Rating is reported for a group of securities (such as for an asset class or the overall portfolio), it is calculated as a market value-weighted average of the Effective Rating assigned to each component security (excluding securities without an Effective Rating). Please note that Voya does not endorse or affirm the Effective Ratings or any agency ratings. For financial professional or qualified institutional investor use only.
