PROXY VOTING INFORMATION
A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies related to portfolio securities is available: (1) without charge, upon request, by calling Shareholder Services toll-free at (800) 992-0180; (2) on the Funds’ website at www.voyainvestments.com; and (3) on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) website at www.sec.gov. Information regarding how the Funds voted proxies related to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge on the Funds’ website at www.voyainvestments.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Funds file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form NPORT-P. The Funds’ Forms NPORT-P are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Each Fund’s complete schedule of portfolio holdings is available at: www.voyainvestments.com and without charge upon request from the Fund by calling Shareholder Services toll-free at (800) 992-0180.
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2023 to November 30, 2023. Each Fund’s expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The left section of the table shown below, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The right section of the table shown below, “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses),” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Voya Separate Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Trust was organized on March 2, 2007 and was established under a Declaration of Trust dated March 2, 2007. It consists of fifteen separate active investment series. The ten series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) included in this report are: Voya Target In-Retirement Fund (“In-Retirement”), Voya Target Retirement 2025 Fund (“Retirement 2025”), Voya Target Retirement 2030 Fund (“Retirement 2030”), Voya Target Retirement 2035 Fund (“Retirement 2035”), Voya Target Retirement 2040 Fund (“Retirement 2040”), Voya Target Retirement 2045 Fund (“Retirement 2045”), Voya Target Retirement 2050 Fund (“Retirement 2050”), Voya Target Retirement 2055 Fund (“Retirement 2055”), Voya Target Retirement 2060 Fund (“Retirement 2060”), and Voya Target Retirement 2065 Fund (“Retirement 2065”), each a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Fund offers the following classes of shares: Class A, Class I, Class R and Class R6. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees (if any), shareholder servicing fees (if any) and transfer agency fees, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses, if any. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders are allocated the common expenses of a fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from a fund pro rata based on the daily ending net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Expenses that are specific to a fund are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable, as well as differences in the amount of waiver of fees and reimbursement of expenses between the separate classes, if any.
Voya Investments, LLC (“Voya Investments” or the “Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Adviser to the Funds. Voya Investments has engaged Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya IM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to the Funds. Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (“VID” or the
“Distributor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the principal underwriter to the Funds.
The investment companies in which the Funds invest are collectively referred to as the “Underlying Funds.”
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Each Fund is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) opens for regular trading (each such day, a “Business Day”). The net asset value (“NAV”) per share for each class of each Fund is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session (“Market Close”), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (“CTA”), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of each Fund is calculated by taking the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Fund’s liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when a Fund is closed for business, Fund shares will not be priced and a Fund does not transact purchase and redemption orders. To the extent a Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when a Fund does not price its shares, the value of a Fund’s assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Fund.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which each Fund may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign securities’ prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.
When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other Fund assets, the asset is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of each Fund’s
24 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
assets, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or each Fund’s sub-adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of an asset’s fair value. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine each Fund’s NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in each Fund.
The Funds’ financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date.
Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads).
Level 3 — unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value).
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
A table summarizing each Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included within each Portfolio of Investments.
Each investment asset or liability of a Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Sub-Adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing each Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included within the Portfolio of Investments. The Funds classify each of their investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds.
GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments within the Portfolio of Investments is presented only when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.
B. Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method. Capital gain dividends from Underlying Funds are recorded as capital gain distributions from affiliated Underlying Funds.
25 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) | Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close. |
(2) | Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. |
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the difference between the amounts of foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on each Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of foreign/withholding tax reclaim receivables, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
D. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The Funds declare and pay dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at least annually to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and may make distributions on a more frequent basis. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies.
E. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized.
The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
F. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers risk of loss from such claims remote.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES
The Investment Adviser provides the Funds with advisory and administrative services under a management agreement (the “Bundled Fee Agreement”). Pursuant to this Bundled Fee Agreement, the Investment Adviser is responsible for providing or procuring, at the Investment Adviser’s expense, the services reasonably necessary for the ordinary operation of each Fund, including, among other things, custodial, administrative, transfer agency (with the exception of fees paid for omnibus accounts or record keeping services), fund accounting, auditing and ordinary legal expenses. This Bundled Fee Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a management fee (a “unified fee”) equal to 0.18% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Voya IM with respect to each Fund. Voya IM provides investment advice for the Funds and is paid by the Investment Adviser based on the average daily net

assets of each respective Fund. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, Voya IM manages the Funds’ assets in accordance with the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Class A and Class R shares of each Fund has a plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”), whereby the Distributor is reimbursed or compensated (depending on the class of shares) by the Funds for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month to reimburse or compensate expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the Plans, Class A shares and Class R shares of each Fund pays the Distributor a Distribution Fee and/or Service Fee based on average daily net assets at a rate of 0.25% and 0.50%, respectively.
The Distributor may also retain the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid by shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares of the Funds and the contingent deferred sales charge paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions for Class A shares. For the period ended November 30, 2023, the Distributor retained the following amounts in sales charges:

The Funds have adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “DC Plan”), which allows eligible independent trustees, as described in the DC Plan, to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees’ fees that they are entitled to receive from the Funds. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the trustee under the DC Plan, the amounts deferred are invested in shares of the funds selected by the trustee (the “Notional Funds”). When the Funds purchase shares of the Notional Funds, which are all advised by Voya Investments, in amounts equal to the trustees’ deferred fees, this results in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets, if applicable, are included as a component of “Other assets” on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the DC Plan will not affect net assets of the Funds, and will not materially affect the Funds’ assets, liabilities or net investment income

(1) | These operating expense limits take into account the operating expenses incurred at the Underlying Fund level. The amount of fees and expenses of an Underlying Fund borne by each Fund will vary based on each Fund’s allocation of assets to, and the net expenses of, a particular Underlying Fund. |
(2) | Any fees waived pursuant to the side letter agreement shall not be eligible for recoupment. |
Unless otherwise specified above, the Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from a Fund for class specific fees waived and/or other expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, a Fund’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees net of any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations. Amounts payable by the Investment Adviser are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of November 30, 2023, the Funds did not have any amounts of waived and/or reimbursed fees that are subject to possible recoupment by the Investment Adviser.
NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT
Effective June 12, 2023, the Funds, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, entered into a 364-day unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 through June 10, 2024. The proceeds may be used only to finance temporarily: (1) the purchase or sale of investment securities; or (2) the repurchase or redemption of shares of a Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to June 12, 2023, the predecessor line of credit was for an aggregate amount of $400,000,000 and the funds to which the line of credit was available paid a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount through June 12, 2023.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 60 days after the date of a revolving credit advance.

NOTE 10 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains and wash sale deferrals.
Dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:

The Funds’ major tax jurisdictions are U.S. federal and Arizona state.
As of November 30, 2023, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements as a result of tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for open tax years. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue. Generally, the preceding four tax years remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions.
NOTE 11 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The terms of investments,
financings or other transactions (including certain derivatives transactions) to which the Fund may be a party have historically been tied to LIBOR. In connection with the global transition away from LIBOR led by regulators and market participants, LIBOR was last published on a representative basis at the end of June 2023. Alternative

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of November 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)
NOTE 11 — LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (“LIBOR”) (continued)
reference rates to LIBOR have been established in most major currencies and markets in these new rates are continuing to develop. The transition away from LIBOR to the use of replacement rates has gone relatively smoothly on the Fund and the financial instruments in which it invests; however, longer-term impacts are still uncertain.
In addition, interest rates or other types of rates and indices which are classed as “benchmarks” have been the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory reform, including under the European Union regulation on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts (known as the “Benchmarks Regulation”). The Benchmarks Regulation has been enacted into United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended), subject to amendments made by the Benchmarks (Amendment and Transitional Provision) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/657) and other statutory instruments. Following the implementation of these reforms, the manner of administration of benchmarks has changed and may further change in the future, with the result that relevant benchmarks may perform differently than in the past, the use of benchmarks that are not compliant with the new standards by certain supervised entities may be restricted, and certain benchmarks may be eliminated entirely. Such changes could cause increased market volatility and disruptions in liquidity for instruments that rely on or are impacted by such benchmarks. Additionally, there could be other consequences which cannot be predicted.
NOTE 12 — MARKET DISRUPTION
A Fund 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 United States. 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 Fund’s investments, including beyond a Fund’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. A number of U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have recently experienced financial difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These 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 of the Funds. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of a Fund and of the Funds’ service providers.
NOTE 13 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments under this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted. The amendment was early adopted. Management expects that the adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONTRACT AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT
At a meeting held on November 16, 2023, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Voya Separate Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of Voya Target In-Retirement Fund, Voya Target Retirement 2025 Fund, Voya Target Retirement 2030 Fund, Voya Target Retirement 2035 Fund, Voya Target Retirement 2040 Fund, Voya Target Retirement 2045 Fund, Voya Target Retirement 2050 Fund, Voya Target Retirement 2055 Fund, Voya Target Retirement 2060 Fund, and Voya Target Retirement 2065 Fund, each a series of the Trust (the “Funds”), as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management contracts (the “Management Contracts”) between Voya Investments, LLC (the “Manager”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the sub-advisory contracts (the “Sub-Advisory Contracts,” and together with the Management Contracts, the “Contracts”) with Voya Investment Management Co. LLC, the sub-adviser to each Fund (the “Sub-Adviser”), for an additional one-year period ending November 30, 2024.
In addition to the Board meeting on November 16, 2023, the Independent Trustees also held meetings outside the presence of representatives of the Manager and Sub-Adviser (collectively, such persons are referred to herein as “management”) on October 9, 2023 and November 14, 2023. At those meetings, the Board members reviewed and considered materials related to the proposed continuance of the Contracts that they had requested and believed to be relevant to the renewal of the Contracts in light of their own business judgment and the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP, their independent legal counsel. The Board also considered information furnished to it throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees, including information regarding performance, expenses, and other relevant matters. While the Board considered the renewal of the management contracts and sub-advisory contracts for all of the applicable investment companies in the Voya family of funds at the same meetings, the Board considered each Voya fund’s investment management and sub-advisory relationships separately.
The Board has established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees (the “IRCs”), each of which includes only Independent Trustees as members. The Contracts Committee meets several times throughout the year to provide oversight with respect to the management and sub-advisory contracts approval and renewal process
for the Voya funds, among other functions, and each IRC meets several times throughout the year with respect to each Voya fund (assigned to that IRC) to provide oversight regarding the investment performance of the sub-advisers, as well as the Manager’s role in monitoring the sub-advisers.
The Contracts Committee oversees, and annually recommends Board approval of updates to, a methodology guide for the Voya funds (“Methodology Guide”), which sets out a framework pursuant to which the Independent Trustees request, and management provides, certain information that the Independent Trustees deem to be important or potentially relevant to the contracts renewal process for the Voya funds. The Independent Trustees retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Contracts Committee in developing and recommending to the Board: (1) a selected peer group of investment companies for each Fund (“Selected Peer Group”) based on that Fund’s particular attributes; and (2) updates to the Methodology Guide with respect to the content and format of various data prepared in connection with the renewal process. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically have retained an independent firm to test and verify the accuracy of certain information presented to the Board for a representative sample of the Voya funds.
The Manager or Sub-Adviser may not have been able to, or opted not to, provide information in response to certain information requests, in which case the Board conducted its evaluation based on the information that was provided. In such cases, the omission of any such information was determined to not be material to the Board’s considerations.
Provided below is an overview of certain material factors that the Board considered at its meetings regarding the renewal of the Contracts and the compensation to be paid thereunder. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was most relevant to its consideration.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Manager oversees, subject to the authority of the Board, and is responsible for the provision of, all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the Funds, but may delegate certain of these responsibilities to one or more sub-advisers. In addition, the Manager provides administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds as set forth in the Management Contracts, including oversight of the Funds’ operations and risk management and the oversight of their various other service providers.
The Board considered the “manager-of-managers”
56 |
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
structure of the Voya funds that has been developed by the Manager pursuant to which the Manager selects, subject to the Board’s approval, sub-advisers to provide day-to-day management services to all or a portion of each Voya fund. The Board recognized that the Manager is responsible for monitoring the Sub-Adviser’s investment program, performance, developments, ongoing operations, and compliance with applicable regulations and investment policies and restrictions with respect to the Funds under this manager-of-managers arrangement. The Board also considered the techniques and resources that the Manager has developed to provide this ongoing due diligence and oversight with respect to the sub-advisers and to recommend appropriate changes in investment strategies, sub-advisers, or allocation among sub-advisers in an effort to improve a Voya fund’s performance. In connection with the Manager’s performance of these duties, the Board considered that the Manager has developed an oversight process formulated by its Manager Research & Selection Group that reviews, among other matters, performance data, the Sub-Adviser’s management team, portfolio data and attribution analysis related to the Sub-Adviser through various means, including, but not limited to, in-person meetings, on-site or virtual visits, and telephonic meetings with the Sub-Adviser.
Further, the Board considered periodic compliance reports it receives from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer evaluating, among other related matters, whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Manager and Sub-Adviser are reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the federal securities laws and whether the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund are complied with on a consistent basis.
The Board considered the portfolio management team assigned by the Sub-Adviser to the Funds and the level of resources committed to the Funds (and other relevant funds in the Voya funds) by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are sufficient to provide high-quality services to the Funds.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Contracts were appropriate.
Fund Performance
In assessing the investment management and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment returns of each Fund, including its investment performance over certain time periods compared to the Fund’s Morningstar, Inc. (an independent provider of mutual fund data) category and primary benchmark, a
broad-based securities market index. The Board also considered information from the Manager Research & Selection Group and received reports summarizing a separate analysis of each Fund’s performance and risk, including risk-adjusted investment return information, from the Trust’s Chief Investment Risk Officer.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee schedules, the Board considered whether economies of scale have been or likely will be realized by the Manager and the Sub-Adviser as a Fund grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are shared with the Fund. The Board also considered that, while the Funds do not have management fee breakpoints, they have fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale realized by the Manager could be shared with each Fund through such fee waivers, expense reimbursements or other expense reductions.
Information Regarding Services, Performance, and Fee Schedules Offered to Other Clients
The Board considered comparative information regarding the nature of services, performance, and fee schedules offered by the Manager and Sub-Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives, if applicable, including other registered investment companies and relevant institutional accounts. When the fee schedules offered to or the performance of such other clients differed materially from a Fund, the Board took into account the underlying rationale provided by the Manager or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, for these differences.
Fee Schedules, Profitability, and Fall-out Benefits
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee schedule and net management fee rate payable by each Fund to the Manager compared to the Fund’s Selected Peer Group and which additional services the Manager pays for on behalf of the Funds under the “bundled fee” arrangement in return for a single management fee. The Board also considered the compensation payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Fund, including the portion of the contractual and net management fee rates that are paid to the Sub-Adviser, as compared to the compensation paid to the Manager. In addition, the Board considered any fee waivers, expense limitations, and recoupment arrangements that apply to the fees payable by the Funds, including whether the Manager proposed any changes thereto. For each Fund, the Board separately determined that the fees payable to the Manager and the
57 |
ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (Unaudited) (continued)
fee schedule payable to the Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform.
For each Fund, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits or losses realized by the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser related to their services to the Fund. In analyzing the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates in connection with services they render to a Fund, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Manager to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the profitability of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser attributable to servicing each Fund both with and without taking into account the profitability of the distributor of the Funds and any revenue sharing payments made by the Manager.
Although the Methodology Guide establishes a framework for profit calculation by the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board recognized that there is no uniform methodology within the asset management industry for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board also recognized that the use of different reasonable methodologies can give rise to dramatically different reported profit and loss results with respect to the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser, as well as other industry participants with whom the profits of the Manager and its affiliated Sub-Adviser could be compared. In addition, the Board recognized that management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Funds’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Fund in determining profitability. The Board also recognized that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by the Manager or reflect all of the risks associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment, including entrepreneurial, regulatory, legal and operational risks.
The Board also considered that the Manager and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser are entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that they provide to the Funds. The Board also considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to the Manager and Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates from their association with the Funds. Following its reviews, the Board determined that the Manager’s and the Voya-affiliated Sub-Adviser’s profitability with respect to their services to the Funds and the Manager and Sub-Adviser’s potential fall-out benefits were not unreasonable.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
Set forth below are certain of the specific factors that the
Board considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings in relation to approving each Fund’s Contracts and the conclusions reached by the Board. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The performance data provided to the Board primarily was for various periods ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Board also considered at its October 9, 2023, November 14, 2023, and/or November 16, 2023 meetings certain additional data regarding each Fund’s more recent performance, asset levels and asset flows. Each Fund’s management fee rate and expense ratio were compared to the management fee rates and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. With respect to the quintile rankings noted below, the first quintile represents the range of funds with the highest performance or the lowest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents the range of funds with the lowest performance or the highest management fee rate or expense ratio, as applicable.
Voya Target In-Retirement Fund
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Contracts for Voya Target In-Retirement Fund, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended March 31, 2023: (1) the Fund is ranked in the first quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date period, the second quintile for the three-year and ten-year periods, the third quintile for the five-year period, and the fourth quintile for the one-year period; and (2) the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented, with the exception of the one-year and five-year periods, during which it underperformed.
In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a level fee rate that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the first quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the all-in net expense ratio for the Fund, inclusive of the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”), is ranked in the first quintile of all-in net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group, and the net expense ratio for the Fund, not inclusive of AFFE, is below the median of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board

In considering the fees payable under the Contracts for the Fund, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under a Management Contract with a level fee rate that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the net expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the net management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the third quintile of net management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; (b) the contractual management fee rate for the Fund is ranked in the first quintile of contractual management fee rates of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (c) the all-in net expense ratio for the Fund, inclusive of the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”), is ranked in the first quintile of all-in net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group, and the net expense ratio for the Fund, not inclusive of AFFE, is below the median of net expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
