Approach

The Voya Enhanced Long Duration Government/Credit strategy seeks total return approach, investing across full spectrum of investment grade-rated public and private corporate credit, government bonds, and securitized assets.

Key Benefits

Expanded investment universe mitigates issuer concentrations found in long duration indices and may add additional diversification benefits
Stronger potential to mitigate downside due to structural enhancements of private credit that may lead to lower credit losses
Potential yield pick-up from private credit through upfront spread advantage and non-coupon income; prepayment and/or amendment fees

Principal Risk

The principal risks are generally those attributable to investing in stocks, bonds and related derivative instruments, and short selling. Holdings are subject to market, issuer, credit, prepayment, extension, counterparty and other risks, and their values may fluctuate. Market risk is the risk that securities may decline in value due to factors affecting the securities markets or particular industries. Issuer risk is the risk that the value of a security may decline for reasons specific to the issuer, such as changes in its financial condition. The strategy may invest in mortgage-related securities, which can be repaid early if the borrowers on the underlying mortgages pay off their mortgages sooner than scheduled. If interest rates are falling, the strategy will be forced to reinvest this money at lower yields. Conversely, if interest rates are rising, the expected principal payments will slow, thereby locking in the coupon rate at below market levels and extending the security’s life and duration while reducing its market value.
