These payments are applied against, and reduce, the Program Expense Fee shown under this heading that is otherwise payable to Voya. 2 Fees paid to Mercer Trust Company ( MTC ) acting as trustee to the Collective Trust. These fees include expenses paid for by the trust relating to recurring operational expenses such as printing, legal, consulting and auditing expenses. 3 For purposes of this table, the estimated amounts of Investment Advisor Fees are based on the rates of Investment Advisor Fees and target allocations to Investment Advisors as of April 1, 2017. 4 Each Fund invests some of its assets through other commingled investment vehicles. Certain Funds also invest in other Funds in the Program. As a result, investors in the Funds indirectly bear expenses of those underlying commingled investment vehicles and Funds, which may include, among other things, audit, administration, and legal fees. For purposes of this table, the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are based on the ratios of operating expenses and target allocations to the underlying commingled investment vehicles or Funds as of April 1, 2017. 5 The Conservative Risk Fund, the Moderate Risk Fund and the Aggressive Risk Fund invest a portion of their assets in other Funds in the Program. Only the Investment Advisor Fees, Program Expense Fees, Trust Management and Administration Fees borne directly by these Funds are included in the appropriate columns. Any fees and expenses borne indirectly through investment in other Funds in the Program are included as Acquired Fund Fees & Expenses. 6 The Balanced Fund is no longer open to new investments. It does not pay any Investment Advisor Fees, Program Expense Fees or Trust, Management and Administration Fees directly. These fees are borne indirectly through the investment in the Large Cap Equity Fund and Bond Core Plus Fund in which the Balanced Fund invests, and are included as the Acquired Fund Fees & Expenses. 7 The Global All Cap Fund does not pay any significant Investment Advisor fees, Program Expense Fees or Trust, Management and Administration Fee directly. These fees are borne indirectly through the investment in the Large Cap Equity Fund, Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund and International All Cap Equity Fund in which the Global All Cap Equity Fund invests, and are included as Acquired Fund Fees & Expenses. 8 From time to time, the Funds may hold investments in business development companies, or BDCs. BDCs are a specialized type of closed-end investment company that invest in, and often provide managerial advice and support to, smaller, developing, often privately-held companies. The Acquired Fund Fees & Expenses of the Fund s investments in BDCs, if any, are not included in the table above. Such fees and expenses, if they had been included in the table above, would have increased Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of the Bond Core Plus Fund by 0.033% as of December 31, 2016. 9 Total Fund Operating Expenses for the Stable Asset Return Fund do not include 0.19% (as of December 31, 2016) in wrap contract fees. The financial statements for the Fund do not include these wrap fees in the Total Operating Expenses for the Fund because the fees are charged against the crediting rate of the Fund. These wrap contract fees have always been reflected in the performance of the Fund. 10 The Alternative Alpha Fund pays no Investment Advisor fees directly (independent of the Trust, Management and Administration fee payable to MTC, which is shown under the MTC heading). The Investment Management fees and other fees and expenses payable by the commingled investment vehicles in which the Alternative Alpha Fund invests are included as Acquired Fund Fees & Expenses of the Fund. 2
11 For the period from May 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, the ABA Retirement Funds have contractually agreed to waive a total of $940,000 of the Program Expense Fee, which equates to approximately 0.020% of Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, otherwise payable to the ABA Retirement Funds. This waiver will be applied against, and reduce, the ABA Retirement Funds expenses shown under this heading that is otherwise payable to the ABA Retirement Funds. 12 Nominal expenses are paid, but not shown due to rounding. 13 Totals may not sum due to rounding.
