Voya Asia Pacific High Dividend Equity Income Fund (IAE) plans to merge into Voya Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity Fund (MM EME Fund) together with Voya Emerging Markets High Dividend Equity Fund (IHD), subject to shareholder approval. If approved, shareholders of IAE and IHD will become shareholders of MM EME Fund as of the close of business on or about October 16, 2026, receiving Class W shares.
The investment objectives are similar, with each fund seeking total return through a combination of income, capital gains and appreciation, while MM EME Fund focuses on long-term capital appreciation. Voya Investments remains the investment adviser and Voya IM a sub-adviser, alongside several external sub-advisers. Contractual Expense Limitation Agreements cap MM EME Fund expenses at specified levels through 2028, and IAE and IHD shareholders are expected to see lower contractual management fees and, for IHD, a lower contractual expense limit.
Each merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, but IAE and IHD will distribute all undistributed income and realized gains before closing, which will be taxable to taxable shareholders.
