SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voya Investment Management, the asset management business of Voya Financial, Inc.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voya Investment Management, the asset management business of Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today the distributions on the common shares of five of its closed-end funds: Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGA), Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGD), Voya Infrastructure, Industrials and Materials Fund (NYSE: IDE), Voya Asia Pacific High Dividend Equity Income Fund (NYSE: IAE), and Voya Emergin.

Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund offers a 10.49% yield, providing high current income and global equity exposure. IGD underperforms major equity indices in price appreciation, but its high yield offsets declines when distributions are reinvested. The fund's diversified holdings and covered call strategy generate income but limit upside potential during bull markets.

Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund offers a high 10.5% yield but faces sustainability concerns and long-term NAV erosion risks. IGD's strategy combines global dividend equities with call option writing, capping upside and prioritizing income over capital appreciation. Despite recent market gains, IGD trades at a smaller-than-average discount to NAV, making current entry less attractive for value-seeking investors.

IGD offers a high 10.4% yield, outperforming most equity funds and indices, making it attractive for income-focused investors seeking equity exposure. The fund's underweight technology sector and focus on value/dividend stocks provide diversification benefits, especially for those already heavy in tech. While IGD trades at a discount to NAV and peers, it's near its three-year high, suggesting investors should wait for a wider discount before buying.
