Voya Increases Distribution Rate on 5 Funds
19 Abril 2024 - 7:37AM
Business Wire
Voya Investment Management, the asset management business of
Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced an increase in the
distribution rate on five funds: Voya Global Advantage and Premium
Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGA), Voya Global Equity Dividend and
Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGD), Voya Infrastructure,
Industrials and Materials Fund (NYSE: IDE), Voya Asia Pacific High
Dividend Equity Income Fund (NYSE: IAE), and Voya Emerging Markets
High Dividend Equity Fund (NYSE: IHD).
The increase is intended to address demand in the market for
higher distribution rates given the increase in market yields and
competition from alternative sources of regular cashflows. Voya
previously announced a change to the distribution frequency from
quarterly to monthly for four of the funds; therefore, all five
funds will make monthly distributions. The combination of monthly
payments with higher distribution rates, including, potentially,
returning capital to investors at net asset value, aims to have the
funds serve as an attractive regular source of cashflow for
investors.

You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds’ investment
performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms
of the Funds’ Plan. The Funds’ estimate that it has distributed
more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a
portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return
of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money
that you invested in the Funds’ is paid back to you. A return of
capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Funds’
investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or
‘income.’ The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this
Section 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not being provided
for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the
amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Funds’
investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and
may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Funds’ will
send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you
how to report these distributions for federal income tax
purposes.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value of an investment will
fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or
higher than the performance data quoted.
Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount from their
net asset value. The market price of Fund shares may vary from net
asset value based on factors affecting the supply and demand for
shares, such as Fund distribution rates relative to similar
investments, investors' expectations for future distribution
changes, the clarity of the Fund's investment strategy and future
return expectations, and investors' confidence in the underlying
markets in which the Fund invests. Fund shares are subject to
investment risk, including possible loss of principal invested. No
Fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money
investing in a Fund. An investment in a Fund may not be appropriate
for all investors. Before investing, prospective investors should
consider carefully the Fund's investment objective, risks, charges
and expenses.
Certain statements made on behalf of the Funds in this release
are forward-looking statements. The Funds actual future results may
differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking
statements due to numerous factors, including but not limited to a
decline in value in equity markets in general or the Funds'
investments specifically. Neither the Funds nor Voya Investment
Management undertake any responsibility to update publicly or
revise any forward-looking statement.
This information should not be used as a basis for legal and/or
tax advice. In any specific case, the parties involved should seek
the guidance and advice of their own legal and tax counsel.
