Voya Intermediate Bond Fund Class I is an actively managed mutual fund within the intermediate core-plus bond category. Its principal objective is to maximize total return by combining income generation with capital appreciation, primarily through investments in a diversified portfolio of investment grade bonds. The fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to a broad selection of fixed income securities—including U.S. government, corporate, and mortgage-backed bonds—typically rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher at issuance. Employing both fundamental and quantitative research, as well as sector and security analysis, it balances risk by limiting exposure to below investment grade holdings, generally capping these at 20% of the portfolio. The fund is recognized for disciplined risk management, moderate credit quality, and moderate interest rate sensitivity, maintaining an effective duration generally between 5 and 6 years. Voya Intermediate Bond Fund Class I pays monthly income distributions, and it benchmarks its performance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, serving investors seeking a stable, core fixed income allocation within their broader investment portfolios.
