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.

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.

During the quarter, Voya Emerging Markets High Dividend Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark. For the quarter, the fund provided a total return of 2.50% on a net asset value basis, and a total return of 7.92% on a market price basis. The equity sleeve outperformed the reference Index. Within the equity sleeve, both the core model and the higher dividend yield contributed.

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.

By investing in companies that generate durable free cash flow, investors can help dampen volatility, support total return and deliver sustainable income over the long term. Historically, dividends have been a meaningful contributor to equity returns, accounting for nearly 40% of the S&P 500's total return. Dividends can do more than provide a stream of income; investing in companies that generate free cash flow may help reduce volatility, drive total return and deliver sustainable income over the long term.
