Management is responsible for the Fund’s compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Fund’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the attestation standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Fund’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of February 28, 2013, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period September 30, 2012 (date of our last examination) through February 28, 2013:

·                 Confirmation of all securities held in book entry form by The Bank of New York Mellon (custodian);

·                 Confirmation of securities held in book entry form by ING Bank Slaski (affiliated sub-custodian bank);

·                 Confirmation of securities held in book entry form by Polish National Depository of Securities (foreign depository);

·                 Confirmation or inspection of documentation of all securities purchased but not received, hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledges and/or transfer agents;

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We, as members of management of the Voya funds (formerly known as the ING Funds) listed in Appendix A (the “Funds”), are responsible for complying with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2, “Custody of Investments by Registered Management Investment Company,” of the Investment Company Act of 1940.  We are also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over compliance with those requirements. We have performed an evaluation of the Funds’ compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 as of February 28, 2013, July 31, 2013, and October 31, 2013, and for the period from October 1, 2012 through October 31, 2013.

Based on this evaluation, we assert that the Funds were in compliance with the applicable requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of February 28, 2013, July 31, 2013, and October 31, 2013, and for the period from October 1, 2012 through October 31, 2013 with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds that are held by affiliated foreign sub-custodians. We note that all affiliated sub-custodians that maintained assets of the Funds during the applicable period qualified as “Eligible Foreign Custodians” under rule 17f-5.

Very truly yours,
