Investment Objective
The Portfolio seeks investment results (before fees and expenses) that correspond to the total return (which includes capital
appreciation and income) of a widely accepted international index (“Index”).
Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio
The table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Portfolio. You may pay other fees and expenses such as fees and expenses imposed under your variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance
policies (“Variable Contract”) or a qualified pension or retirement plan (“Qualified Plan”), which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. If these fees or expenses were included in the table, the Portfolio’s expenses would be higher. For more information on these charges, please refer to the documents governing your Variable Contract or consult your plan administrator.

The adviser is contractually obligated to limit expenses to 1.00%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 0.90% for Class ADV, Class I, Class S,
and Class S2 shares, respectively, through May 1, 2024. In addition, the adviser is contractually obligated to further limit expenses to 0.95%, 0.45%, 0.70%, and 0.85% for the Portfolio’s Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 shares, respectively, through May 1, 2024. The limitations do not extend to interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses, extraordinary expenses, and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. These limitations
are subject to possible recoupment by the adviser within 36 months of the waiver or reimbursement. The distributor is contractually obligated to waive
0.01% of the distribution fee for Class ADV shares through May 1, 2024. Termination or modification of these obligations requires approval by the Portfolio’s board.
Expense Example
The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Portfolio with the costs of investing in
other mutual funds. The Example does not reflect expenses and charges which are, or may be, imposed under your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated. The
Example also assumes that your investment had a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain
the same. The Example reflects applicable expense limitation agreements and/or waivers in effect, if any, for the one-year
period and the first two years of the three-, five-, and ten-year periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Portfolio
Operating Expenses or in the Expense Example, affect the Portfolio's performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 4% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
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 (currently the MSCI EAFE® Index).
The MSCI EAFE® Index is a market value-weighted index that reflects the performance of approximately 1,100 securities listed on the stock exchanges of Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. Because the Portfolio’s assets invested in common
stocks will be allocated in approximately the same relative proportion as the Index, the Portfolio may concentrate to approximately
the same extent that the Index concentrates in the stock of a particular industry or group of industries. As of February 28,
2022, portions of the Index were focused in the financials sector and the industrials sector.
In seeking to track the performance of the Index, the Portfolio may become “non-diversified,” as defined in the 1940 Act, as a result of a change in relative market capitalizations or index weightings of one or more components of the Index. As a result, whether at any time the Portfolio will be considered “diversified” or “non-diversified” will depend largely on the make-up of the Index at the time.
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.
Principal Risks
You could lose money on an investment in the Portfolio. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Portfolio performance or cause the Portfolio to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds.
Company: The price of a company’s stock could decline or underperform for many reasons including, among others, poor management, financial problems, reduced demand for company goods or services, regulatory fines and judgments, or business
challenges. If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless.
Summary Prospectus
2 of 6
Voya International Index Portfolio
Convertible Securities: Convertible securities are securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stocks at a stated price or rate. Convertible securities are subject to the usual risks associated with debt instruments, such as interest
rate and credit risk. In addition, because convertible securities react to changes in the value of the stocks into which they
convert, they are subject to market risk.
Credit: The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates,
whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest
or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
Currency: To the extent that the Portfolio invests directly or indirectly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated
in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies will
decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative
to the currency being hedged by the Portfolio through foreign currency exchange transactions.
Derivative Instruments: Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest
rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the
magnitude of exposure assumed by the Portfolio. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect
on the Portfolio and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value. Derivatives may not perform as expected,
so the Portfolio may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative
may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute
for direct cash investment, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment.
In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Portfolio to the risk of improper valuation.
Focused Investing (Index): To the extent that the Portfolio’s index is substantially composed of securities in a particular industry, sector, market segment, or geographic area, the Portfolio will allocate its investments to approximately the same extent as
the index. As a result, the Portfolio may be subject to greater market fluctuation than a fund that is more broadly invested.
Economic conditions, political or regulatory conditions, or natural or other disasters affecting the particular industry,
sector, market segment, or geographic area in which the Portfolio focuses its investments will have a greater effect on the Portfolio,
and if securities of a particular industry, sector, market segment, or geographic area as a group fall out of favor the Portfolio
could underperform, or be more volatile than, funds that have greater diversification.
Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Portfolio experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies
due to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices; nationalization,
expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default
on sovereign debt; or political changes or diplomatic developments, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions
or other measures by the United States or other governments and supranational organizations. Markets and economies throughout
the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely
impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region. Foreign investment risks may be greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets.
Index Strategy: The index selected may underperform the overall market. To the extent the Portfolio seeks to track the index’s performance, the Portfolio will not use defensive strategies or attempt to reduce its exposure to poor performing securities
in the index. To the extent the Portfolio’s investments track its target index, such Portfolio may underperform other funds
that invest more broadly. Errors in index data, index computations or the construction of the index in accordance with its
methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the index provider for a period of time
or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Portfolio. The correlation between the Portfolio’s performance and index
performance may be affected by the Portfolio’s expenses and the timing of purchases and redemptions of the Portfolio’s shares. In addition, the Portfolio’s actual holdings might not match the index and the Portfolio’s effective exposure to index
securities at any given time may not precisely correlate.
Interest Rate: With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market 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. Duration is a measure of sensitivity
of the price of a debt instrument to a change in interest rate. As of the date of this Prospectus, the United States experiences
a low interest rate environment, which may increase the Portfolio’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest
rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related
markets to heightened volatility. To the extent that the Portfolio invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market
interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain
Summary Prospectus

investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. Increased redemptions may cause the Portfolio to liquidate portfolio
positions when it may not be advantageous to do so and may lower returns. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets.
Further, recent and potential future changes in government policy may affect interest rates. Negative or very low interest rates could
magnify the risks associated with changes in interest rates. In general, changing interest rates, including rates that fall
below zero, could have unpredictable effects on markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility.
Changes to monetary policy by the Federal Reserve Board or other regulatory actions could expose fixed-income and related
markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Portfolio’s operations
and return potential.
Liquidity: If a security is illiquid, the Portfolio might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Portfolio’s manager might
wish to sell, or at all. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid
securities, exposing the Portfolio to the risk that the price at which it sells illiquid securities will be less than the price at which
they were valued when held by the Portfolio. The prices of illiquid securities may be more volatile than more liquid investments.
The risks associated with illiquid securities may be greater in times of financial stress. The Portfolio could lose money
if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Portfolio.
Market: Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be
cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market
segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform
bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in
these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of the Portfolio to achieve its investment objectives.
Market Capitalization: Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories - large, mid, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors.
If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization
companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-sized companies causing a fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in larger companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization
companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller
management groups, more limited publicly available information, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared
with larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may be more volatile and may decline
significantly in market downturns.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical: The Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates
in other countries, including the U.S. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events
have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and
world economies and markets generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default
rates, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In addition, military action by Russia in
Ukraine could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of a Portfolio’s investments,
including beyond a Portfolio’s direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of
the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. Those
events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor
sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the investments of the Portfolio and the Portfolio. Any of these occurrences could
disrupt the operations of the Portfolio and of the Portfolio’s service providers.
Non-Diversification (Index): Depending on the composition of the Index, the Portfolio may at any time, with respect to 75% of the Portfolio’s total assets, invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer. As
a result, the Portfolio would at that time be “non-diversified,” as defined in the 1940 Act. A “non-diversified” mutual fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than may a “diversified” mutual fund. A “non-diversified” investment company is subject to the risks of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, industries or foreign currencies,
Summary Prospectus

Voya International Index Portfolio
including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more
diversified portfolio might be. The Portfolio may significantly underperform other mutual funds or investments due to the
poor performance of relatively few stocks, or even a single stock, and the Portfolio’s shares may experience significant fluctuations
in value.
Other Investment Companies: The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Shares of investment companies
that are listed on an exchange may trade at a discount or premium from their net asset value. 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 Portfolio. The investment policies of the other investment companies may not be the
same as those of the Portfolio; as a result, an investment in the other investment companies may be subject to additional
or different risks than those to which the Portfolio is typically subject.
Securities Lending: Securities lending involves two primary risks: “investment risk” and “borrower default risk.” When lending securities, the Portfolio will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that
the Portfolio will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that
the Portfolio will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Securities lending may result
in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value, causing the Portfolio to be
more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Portfolio’s other risks.
An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
Performance Information
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Portfolio. The following bar chart shows the changes in the Portfolio's performance from year to year, and the table compares the Portfolio's performance to
the performance of a broad-based securities market index/indices for the same period. The Portfolio's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense
limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows the performance of the Portfolio's Class ADV
shares. Performance for other share classes would differ to the extent they have differences in their fees and expenses.
Performance shown in the bar chart and in the Average Annual Total Returns table does not include insurance-related charges
imposed under a Variable Contract or expenses related to a Qualified Plan. If these charges or expenses were included, performance
would be lower. Thus, you should not compare the Portfolio's performance directly with the performance information of other
investment products without taking into account all insurance-related charges and expenses payable under your Variable Contract
or Qualified Plan. The Portfolio's past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Purchase and Sale of Portfolio Shares
Shares of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the public. Purchase and sale of shares may be made only by separate accounts of insurance companies serving as investment options under Variable Contracts or by Qualified Plans, custodian accounts, and certain investment advisers and their affiliates, other investment companies, or permitted investors. Please
refer to the prospectus for the appropriate insurance company separate account, investment company, or your plan documents
for information on how to direct investments in, or sale from, an investment option corresponding to the Portfolio and any
fees that may apply. Participating insurance companies and certain other designated organizations are authorized to receive
purchase orders on the Portfolio's behalf.
Tax Information
Distributions made by the Portfolio to a Variable Contract or Qualified Plan, and exchanges and redemptions of Portfolio shares
made by a Variable Contract or Qualified Plan, ordinarily do not cause the corresponding contract holder or plan participant
to recognize income or gain for federal income tax purposes. See the contract prospectus or the governing documents of your
Qualified Plan for information regarding the federal income tax treatment of the distributions to your Variable Contract or
Qualified Plan and the holders of the contracts or plan participants.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you invest in the Portfolio through a Variable Contract issued by an insurance company or through a Qualified Plan that,
in turn, was purchased or serviced through an insurance company, broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, the Portfolio
and its adviser or distributor or their affiliates may: (1) make payments to the insurance company issuer of the Variable
Contract or to the company servicing the Qualified Plan; and (2) make payments to the insurance company, broker-dealer or other financial intermediary. These payments may create a conflict of interest by: (1) influencing the insurance company or the
company servicing the Qualified Plan to make the Portfolio available as an investment option for the Variable Contract or
the Qualified Plan; or (2) by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Variable
Contract or the pension servicing agent and/or the Portfolio over other options. Ask your salesperson or Qualified Plan administrator
or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
