IAE And IHD Converting To An Open-End Fund

Shareholders of Voya's IAE and IHD approved reorganizing both closed-end funds into an open-end mutual fund, Voya Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity Fund. Both funds stop trading on the NYSE at the close on October 13, 2026, and the reorganizations are expected to be completed after the close on October 16. Holders receive open-end fund shares with the same aggregate NAV, so the remaining discount (-1.11% for IAE and -2.22% for IHD as of October 9) disappears.

IHD: CEF Arbitrage Opportunity

Voya has approved merging IHD (a closed-end fund) into IEMLX (an open-end mutual fund). Because open-end funds must buy and sell shares at their exact Net Asset Value, this structural shift guarantees that IHD's historical discount will disappear when the deal closes. While the initial announcement caused the discount to tighten significantly, investors buying IHD at the current market price can still capture the remaining spread as it narrows.
