2 | Reference in this Charter to one or more Funds shall, as applicable, mean those Funds that are under the jurisdiction of the particular Committee at issue. No provision in this Charter is intended to impose any duty upon a particular Fund’s Committee with respect to any other Funds. |
1. | Members. The members of the Committee are identified on Exhibit B to this Charter, as such Exhibit may be amended from time to time to reflect changes in Committee membership. At least annually, those Board members of the Funds who are not “interested persons” of the Funds (the “Non-Interested Directors/Trustees”), as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), shall |
3 | In determining agendas for in-person versus telephonic meetings, the Committee may consider any factors it deems appropriate, which shall normally include (1) whether there is a legal requirement for approval at an in-person meeting, such as approval of auditors, (2) whether the subject matter involves a report by outside presenters that would be more effective if considered in person, (3) the need or desire for the Committee to approve a matter or take action within a certain time, and (4) whether it would be beneficial to consider a subject at a meeting that is the earliest to occur to allow the Committee an opportunity to request additional information at the following meeting. |
designate, by majority vote, three or more Board members to serve as members of the Committee, and shall designate one member of the Committee to serve as Chairperson of the Committee. No “interested person” of the Funds as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, may be a member of the Committee. | |
2. | Audit Committee Financial Expert. Unless the Board determines that no member of the Committee qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, the Board will identify one (or in the Board’s discretion, more than one) member of the Committee as an audit committee financial expert in accordance with the criteria set out below. The Committee is not required to have an audit committee financial expert. |
• | To be identified as an audit committee financial expert, the Committee member must have the following attributes: (a) an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and financial statements; (b) the ability to assess the general application of GAAP in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; (c) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Funds’ financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities; (d) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and (e) an understanding of audit committee functions. |
• | A Committee member may acquire the attributes required of an audit committee financial expert through any combination of the following: (a) education and experience as a public accountant or auditor, or a principal financial officer, controller, principal accounting officer of a company, or experience in one or more positions that involve the performance of similar functions; (b) experience actively supervising a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor or person performing similar functions, (c) experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants in the preparation, audit or evaluation of financial statements; or (d) other experience determined by the Board as relevant to the inquiry of whether the Committee member qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. |
1. | Pre-Approval of Audit Services. The Committee must approve prior to retention all audit, review or attest engagements required under the securities laws that are provided to a Fund by its independent auditors. The Committee will not grant such approval to any auditors that are proposed to perform an audit for a Fund if a chief executive officer, controller, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or any person serving in an equivalent position for the Fund or any other entity within the Voya investment company complex that is responsible for the financial reporting or operations of the Fund was employed by those auditors and participated in any capacity in an audit of the Fund during the 1-year period (or such other period acceptable under the SEC rules) preceding the date of initiation of such audit. |
2. | Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services. The Committee must pre-approve any non-audit services to be provided to a Fund by its independent auditors (except those within applicable de minimis statutory or regulatory exceptions) provided that a Fund’s auditors will not provide the following non-audit services to a Fund: (a) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (b) financial information systems design and implementation; (c) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; (d) actuarial services; (e) internal audit outsourcing services; (f) management functions or human resources; (g) broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services; (h) legal services; (i) expert services unrelated to the audit; and (j) any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.4 |
3. | Pre-approval with respect to Non-Fund Entities. The Committee must pre-approve any non-audit services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fund (except those within applicable de minimis statutory or regulatory exceptions5) to be provided by the Fund’s auditors to (a) the Fund’s investment adviser; and (b) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser if that entity provides ongoing services to a Fund.6 The Committee may approve audit and non-audit services |
4 | With respect to the prohibitions on (a) bookkeeping; (b) financial information systems design and implementation; (c) appraisal, valuation, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; (d) actuarial; and (e) internal audit outsourcing, such services are permitted to be provided if it is reasonable to conclude that the results of these services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the audit client’s financial statements. |
5 | For non-audit services provided to the adviser and entities in a control relationship with the adviser, no pre-approval is required if: (a) the aggregate amount of all non-audit services provided constitute not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided to the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser if that entity provides ongoing services to a Fund; (b) these services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (c) the services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee prior to the completion of the audit. |
4 | With respect to the prohibitions on (a) bookkeeping; (b) financial information systems design and implementation; (c) appraisal, valuation, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; (d) actuarial; and (e) internal audit outsourcing, such services are permitted to be provided if it is reasonable to conclude that the results of these services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the audit client’s financial statements. |
6 | No pre-approval is required by the Committee as to non-audit services provided to: (a) the Fund’s sub-adviser that primarily provides portfolio management services and is under the direction of another |
on a case-by-case basis or adopt pre-approval policies and procedures that are detailed as to a particular service, provided that the Committee is informed promptly of each service, or use a combination of these approaches. | |
4. | Delegation. The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of the Committee’s members. Any member or members to whom such pre-approval authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. |
1. | Auditor Qualifications. The Committee will, at least annually, review the qualifications of the Funds’ independent auditors. |
• | The Committee will inquire as to whether the auditors are independent. This inquiry will take into consideration whether the auditors provide any consulting or other non-audit services to the Fund, its adviser and other entities in the Voya investment company complex and their potential effect on the issue of independence. The Committee will secure from Fund auditors an annual representation of the auditors’ independence under applicable standards of independence established from time to time by the SEC and other regulatory and professional authorities. |
• | The Committee will review the fees charged by the auditors for audit and non-audit services and may make recommendations to the Board or the independent members of the Board with respect to the approval of audit and non-audit service fee estimates. As part of its review, the Committee will annually obtain from the independent auditors a summary of any non-audit services provided to the Fund and the Voya investment company complex and the fees billed for non-audit services to the Fund and other entities in the Voya investment company complex. |
2. | Rotation of Audit Partners. The Committee will seek assurances that any of the auditors’ personnel who serve as lead and concurring audit partners7 to a Fund are rotated every five years, followed by a five-year “time out” period, and that those who serve as audit partners (other than lead or concurring audit partners) are subject to a seven-year rotation period, with a two-year “time out” period. Audit partners may not serve other Funds in the Voya investment company complex during their “time out” periods. |
7 | “Audit Partner” means a member of a Fund’s audit engagement team who has decision-making responsibility for significant auditing, accounting and reporting matters that affect the Fund’s financial statements or who maintains regular contact with the Fund’s management and the Committee. The term includes lead and concurring partners and partners who provide more than 10 hours of audit, review or attest services in connection with the Fund’s financial statements. |
3. | Meetings with Auditors. The Committee will meet with the Funds’ independent auditors for the purposes set out below. The Committee may determine to conduct these meetings outside the presence of Fund management. |
• | Prior to an audit, the Committee will review with auditors the arrangements for and scope of the annual audit and any special audits |
• | At the conclusion of each audit, the Committee will review the audit with the independent auditors, including the auditors’ comments or recommendations and the form of opinion the auditors propose to render or have rendered to the Board and Fund shareholders. The Committee also will discuss with the auditors any matters of concern relating to the Funds’ financial statements, including adjustments to such statements recommended by the auditors or other results of the audit. |
• | The Committee will receive from the auditors, at least annually and prior to filing each Fund’s annual report, the auditors’ report as to: (a) all critical accounting policies and practices to be used in preparing the annual report; (b) all alternative treatments within GAAP for policies and practices that have been discussed with Fund management, including ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments and the treatments preferred by the independent auditors; (c) written communications between the auditors and Fund management that are material to the financial statements, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences; (d) a description of all non-audit services provided, including fees associated with the services, to the Voya investment company complex since the last annual report or update that were not subject to the pre-approval requirements as discussed above; and (e) any other matters of concern relating to a Fund’s financial statements, including any uncorrected misstatements (or audit differences) whose effects management believes are immaterial, both individually and in aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. If these communications are not made within 90 days prior to the Funds’ annual filing, the Committee will receive from the independent auditors any reported updates to the information within 90 days prior to the Funds’ annual filing. The Committee may discuss these matters with management. |
• | The Committee from time to time will discuss with auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls and procedures for each Fund and the quality of staff implementing those controls and procedures. The Committee will consider the auditors’ comments with respect to the Funds’ financial policies, procedures and internal accounting controls and management’s compliance with these policies and controls and will make recommendations to the Board with respect to any further actions necessary or desirable in response to such auditor comments. |
• | The Committee will meet with Fund auditors for such other purposes as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate. |
4. | Discussions with Management. The Committee may, as deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee, discuss with management the following: (1) unusual accounting issues; (2) the nature of any unusual or significant |
commitments or contingent liabilities; (3) any significant difference in format or disclosure from that adopted by other investment companies; (4) the procedures and controls of management, including the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls and procedures and the quality of staff implementing those controls and procedures; (5) if the Fund’s investment adviser has internal audit staff, the staff’s objectives and resources; and (6) such other matters as the Committee deems appropriate. | |
5. | Changes in Accounting Principles or Practices. The Committee will consider the effect upon the Funds of any changes in accounting principles or practices proposed by management or the independent auditors. The Committee may consider whether proposed changes will have a significant effect on the amounts reported for a current year or may have an effect in the future, management’s and the independent auditors’ concurrence with the change and management’s or the auditors’ underlying rationale for the change. The Committee will discuss with management and the independent auditors the significance and potential effect of any changes in accounting policies proposed by the independent auditors or by management. |
6. | Illegal Acts and Other Matters. As necessary the Committee will review with the independent auditors and management any “illegal act,” as defined in Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and required by that statute to be reported to the Committee and any other significant issues reported to the Committee that could have a material effect on a Fund’s financial statements. The Committee will seek assurances from management that appropriate remedial actions are taken with respect to any such illegal act identified by the independent auditors. The Committee also may review with management and the independent auditors any compliance matter and any comments or criticisms that the staff of the SEC brought to the attention of the Committee or management, and may develop a recommendation to management.8 The Committee will report all such matters to the full Board no later than the next regular meeting of the Board. The Committee shall have the authority to retain special counsel and other experts or consultants at the expense of the appropriate Funds. |
7. | Receive Certifying Officers’ Reports. The Committee will receive, in accordance with regulations adopted by the SEC, reports from each Fund’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, based on their periodic evaluations, regarding: (a) significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to record, |
8 | The Committee may make recommendations to management with respect to any illegal act, significant matter or compliance matter, and its recommendations are not limited to matters related only to accounting and financial reporting. |
process, summarize, and report financial data; (b) material weaknesses in internal controls; and (c) fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Fund’s internal controls. |

2. | Periodic Review. The Committee will receive and review periodic reports under the Funds’ whistleblower procedures and regarding the services provided by any custodian, transfer agent, securities lending agent, and pricing vendor. |
3. | Oversee Certain Service Provide Agreements. The Committee will perform oversight functions pertaining to new agreements, and modifications to existing agreements for securities lending, transfer agency, sub-accounting, and custodian services. |
4. | Counsel Reports. If the Board has not established a qualified legal compliance committee, the Committee will receive and investigate reports of counsel required to be submitted to it by the rules of the SEC that establish standards of professional conduct for attorneys practicing before the SEC. |
5. | Amendments. If the Audit Committee is composed of all of the members of the Board who are not “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, the Committee may amend this Charter by vote of a majority of Committee members. If the Audit Committee is composed of fewer than all of the members of the Board who are not “interested persons,” the Committee will recommend any amendment to the full Board, and the Board may amend this Charter by a vote of a majority of its members who are not “interested persons.” |
6. | Board Communications. At least annually, the Committee will report to the Board a summary of its activities, conclusions and recommendations, unless the Committee is comprised of all of the Non-Interested Directors/Trustees. |
7. | Records. A copy of this Charter will be maintained by the Funds in an easily accessible place. |
1. | Independence. The Committee will have at least three members. Each such member shall not be an “interested person” of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and shall satisfy applicable independence standards established by the NYSE, except |
for any such independence standards which the NYSE has indicated need not apply with respect to closed-end investment companies that are registered under the 1940 Act. | |
2. | Compensation. The only compensation a Committee member may receive from the Fund is directors’ or trustees’ fees, provided that a Committee member who is a former employee of the Fund or its investment adviser may receive deferred compensation if the deferred compensation is not contingent on continued service. |
3. | Financial Literacy. Each Committee member will be financially literate, as such qualification is determined by the Board in its business judgment (or shall become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Committee). At least one Committee member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise, as such qualification is determined by the Board in its business judgment. |
1. | Selection and Termination of Independent Auditors. The Committee will be responsible for the oversight of the work of the independent auditors (including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditors regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work, and each independent auditor will report directly to the Committee. The Committee has the ultimate authority and responsibility to appoint and, when appropriate, replace the independent auditors, and, if applicable, to nominate the independent auditors to be proposed for shareholder ratification in any proxy statement. The Committee will set clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors. The Committee will also be responsible for determining auditor compensation. The Committee will recommend the selection of the independent auditors for ratification by the vote of a majority of all of the Fund’s independent trustees in accordance with Section 32(a) of the 1940 Act. |
2. | Significant Non-Audit Relationships. The Committee will have sole authority to approve any significant non-audit relationships with the Fund’s independent auditors. |

audits of any issuer carried out by the auditors, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and (c) all relationships between the independent auditors and the Funds, for purposes of assessing the auditors’ independence. The Committee also will consider any reports or communications (and management’s responses to such reports or communications) submitted by the independent auditors required by or referred to in PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16 as may be modified or supplemented. |
1. | Financial Statements. The Committee will discuss the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors, including the Funds’ disclosures under “Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.” The Committee will discuss the semiannual unaudited financial statements with management, including, if applicable, disclosures under “Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance” in such semiannual reports. |
