Risk is inherent in all investing. The following are the principal risks associated with investing in the Voya Senior Loan Strategy. This is not, and is not intended to be, a description of all risks of investing in the Strategy.
Credit Risk: The Strategy invests a substantial portion of its assets in below investment grade senior bank loans and other below investment grade assets.
Interest Rate Risk: The yield on senior loans is directly affected by changes in market interest rates.
Leverage Risk: The Strategy may borrow money for investment purposes. Borrowing increases both investment opportunity and investment risk.
Limited secondary market for loans: Because of the limited secondary market for loans, a portfolio invested under the Strategy may be limited in its ability to sell loans in its portfolio in a timely fashion and/or at a favorable price.
Demand for loans: An increase in demand for loans may adversely affect the rate of interest payable on new loans acquired by a portfolio invested under the Strategy, and it may also increase the price of loans in the secondary market. A decrease in the demand for loans may adversely affect the price of loans in a portfolio invested under the Strategy, which could cause such portfolio’s value to decline.
