Strategy Overview The Large Cap Growth strategy seeks to outperform its benchmark over a full market cycle via an actively managed approach relying on fundamental research and analysis to identify companies with strong and accelerating business momentum, increasing market acceptance and attractive valuations. Investment Philosophy We believe consistent and durable alpha is best achieved over the long term via a sectorneutral, research-centric investment process with a fully integrated fundamental and quantitative approach at its core. Our key beliefs: A differentiated point of view is required for successful active growth investing Understanding expectations is key Everything is relative: valuations and fundamentals should be considered in a relative framework Investment Process Our disciplined, bottom-up investment process focuses on high-conviction stock selection. The process begins with identifying a universe of large cap stocks with market capitalizations > $2 billion. Next, a quantitative evaluation ranks the investment universe and identifies the most attractive stocks within each sector. Once the universe is ranked, the analysts concentrate their efforts on the highest ranked stocks within their sector to add insight through in-depth fundamental research and analysis. Buy and sell decisions are mainly the product of qualitative judgments about business momentum, market recognition, and valuation, as well as the attractiveness of each stock, given benchmark weight, expected return, and perceived risk. Define & Rank Universe All growth stocks > $2 billion are ranked by sector to identify stocks that warrant further research (top 3% of universe) Conduct Fundamental Analysis Analysts conduct deep fundamental research to discover underappreciated or disputed growth stocks Construct Managers review and approve investment thesis, determine active weights, monitor risk and style exposures, and enforce sell discipline Not FDIC Insured May Lose Value No Bank Guarantee INVESTMENT MAGEMENT Reliable Partner Reliable Investing

2 Voya Large Cap Growth Strategy Strategy Brief I 2Q 18 Supplemental Performance: Annualized Total Returns 1 Voya Large Cap Growth SMA Composite Returns (%) Quarter YTD 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 1 Years Gross Net Investment Commentary For the quarter, the strategy underperformed the benchmark primarily due to stock selection. Stock selection within the materials and consumer discretionary sectors detracted the most from performance. By contrast, stock selection within the information technology and industrials sectors contributed the most value. Key detractors from performance were Dollar Tree, Inc., Netflix, Inc. and Facebook, Inc. An overweight position in Dollar Tree (DLTR) detracted from performance. Shares declined following disappointing first quarter 18 earnings in which Family Dollar s comps i.e., sales compared to the same period a year ago turned negative and gross margins disappointed. This called into question management s ability to turn the business around. What s more, higher freight costs weighed on gross margins at the Dollar Tree segment, more than offsetting positive sales growth at the chain. Not owning benchmark stock, Netflix, Inc. (NFLX), detracted value from performance during the period. The company reported a strong quarter with both subscriber growth and earnings that exceeded expectations, lending further support to investors longterm view of the company s earnings potential. In addition, extremely negative sentiment around the existing cable television ecosystem and NFLX s comparable pricing power has fueled momentum in the stock. An underweight position in Facebook (FB), detracted from performance due to missed upside gains during the period. FB started the quarter down on concerns of slowing user growth in light of the negative press surrounding Cambridge Analytica as well as concerns that Europe s mandated General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) would impact revenues negatively. Shares rebounded following a strong earnings report. Key contributors to performance were Boston Scientific Corp, salesforce.com, inc. and Intuit, Inc. An overweight position in Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX), a developer of medical devices, contributed to performance. The stock outperformed in June 18 due to takeout speculation in the media. An overweight position in salesforce.com (CRM), a customer relationship management service company, contributed to performance. The company exceeded expectations for its quarterly earnings and revenue, driven by a growing client base and additional revenue from recently acquired Mulesoft (MULE). Overall growth and momentum within the tech sector, and notably companies in the cloud computing space, have helped push the stock to new heights. An overweight position in Intuit (INTU), a business and financial management software solutions developer, contributed to performance. Shares advanced following strong fiscal-third quarter 18 results that delivered significant upside to consumer results, primarily driven by a very strong Turbo Tax season. The company also raised fiscal year 18 guidance, reflecting a better growth outlook across all segments. We remain committed to our disciplined, bottom-up strategy focused on rigorous fundamental research. We believe our focus on identifying companies with strong and accelerating business momentum, increasing market acceptance and attractive valuations will deliver attractive relative returns over a full market cycle. measures the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity market including Russell 1 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and forecasted growth. 2
