Dear Shareholder:

On behalf of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio ("CBRE GRE Portfolio"), we are pleased to invite you to a special meeting of shareholders (the "Special Meeting") of CBRE GRE Portfolio. The Special Meeting is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. (MST) on July 9, 2026. The Special Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. You will be able to attend and participate in the Special Meeting online by visiting https://www.viewproxy.com/voyacbre/broadridgevsm/ where you will be able to listen to the Special Meeting live, submit questions and vote. You will need your unique control number, which is located in the box indicated by the arrow on the front of your proxy ballot. Please see the "How do I attend the virtual Special Meeting?" section of the proxy statement for more details regarding the logistics of the virtual format of the Special Meeting. You will not be able to attend the meeting physically. At the Special Meeting, shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio will be asked to vote on the proposed reorganization (the "Reorganization") of CBRE GRE Portfolio with and into VY<sup>®</sup> Columbia Real Estate Portfolio (*formerly,* VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Real Estate Portfolio) ("Columbia RE Portfolio," and together with CBRE GRE Portfolio, the "Portfolios"). The Portfolios are members of the Voya family of funds.

Shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio have been purchased or acquired by you or at your direction through your qualified pension or retirement plan (collectively, "Qualified Plans") or, at your direction, by your insurance company through its separate accounts to serve as investment options under your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. If the Reorganization is approved by shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio, the separate account in which you have an interest or the Qualified Plan in which you are a participant will own shares of Columbia RE Portfolio instead of shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio beginning on the date the Reorganization occurs. The Reorganization would provide the separate account in which you have an interest or the Qualified Plan in which you are a participant with an opportunity to participate in a portfolio that seeks total return including capital appreciation and current income.

Formal notice of the Special Meeting appears on the next page, followed by a combined proxy statement and prospectus (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus"). The Reorganization is discussed in detail in the enclosed Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which you should read carefully. The Board recommends that you vote **"FOR"** the Reorganization.

**Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. To avoid the added cost of follow-up solicitations and possible adjournments, please read the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and cast your vote. It is important that your vote be received no later than July 8, 2026.** 

We appreciate your participation and prompt response in this matter and thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

![](cwilson_8.jpg)

**INTRODUCTION**

**What is happening?** 

On November 13, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio ("CBRE GRE Portfolio") and VY<sup>®</sup> Columbia Real Estate Portfolio (*formerly,* VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Real Estate Portfolio) ("Columbia RE Portfolio," and together with CBRE GRE Portfolio, the "Portfolios") approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement"), which provides for the reorganization of CBRE GRE Portfolio with and into Columbia RE Portfolio (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization Agreement requires approval by shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio, and if approved, is expected to be effective on July 24, 2026, or such other date as the parties may agree (the "Closing Date").

**Why did you send me this booklet?** 

Shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio have been purchased or acquired by you or at your direction through your qualified pension or retirement plan ("Qualified Plans") or, at your direction, by your insurance company ("Participating Insurance Company") through its separate accounts ("Separate Accounts") to serve as an investment option under your variable annuity and/or variable life contract ("Variable Contract").

This booklet includes a combined proxy statement and prospectus (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus") and a proxy ballot (the "Proxy Ballot") for CBRE GRE Portfolio. It provides you with information you should review before providing voting instructions on the matters listed in the Notice of Special Meeting.

The Separate Accounts and Qualified Plans or their trustees, as record owners of CBRE GRE Portfolio shares are, in most cases, the "shareholders" of record of CBRE GRE Portfolio; however, participants in Qualified Plans ("Plan Participants") or holders of Variable Contracts ("Variable Contract Holders") may be asked to instruct their Qualified Plan trustee or Separate Accounts, as applicable, as to how they would like the shares attributed to their Qualified Plan or Variable Contract to be voted. For clarity and ease of reading, references to "shareholder" or "you" throughout this Proxy Statement/Prospectus do not refer to the shareholder of record (*e.g.,* the Separate Accounts or Qualified Plans) but rather refer to the persons who are being asked to provide voting instructions on the proposals, unless the context indicates otherwise. Similarly, for ease of reading, references to "voting" or "vote" do not refer to the technical vote but rather to the voting instructions provided by Variable Contract Holders or Plan Participants.

Because you are being asked to approve a Reorganization Agreement that will result in a transaction in which you will ultimately hold shares of Columbia RE Portfolio, this Proxy Statement/Prospectus also serves as a prospectus for Columbia RE Portfolio. Columbia RE Portfolio is an open-end management investment company that seeks total return including capital appreciation and current income, as described more fully below.

**Who is eligible to vote?** 

Shareholders of record holding an investment in shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio as of the close of business on April 10, 2026 (the "Record Date") are eligible to vote at the special meeting of shareholders (the "Special Meeting") or any adjournments or postponements

thereof. Should shareholders require additional information regarding the Special Meeting, they may contact Shareholder Services at 1-800-992-0180.

**How do I vote?** 

You may submit your Proxy Ballot in one of four ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>By Internet.</u> The web address and instructions for voting can be found on the enclosed Proxy Ballot. You will be required to provide your control number located on the Proxy Ballot.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>By Telephone.</u> The toll-free number for telephone voting can be found on the enclosed Proxy Ballot. You will be required to provide your control number located on the Proxy Ballot.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>By Mail.</u> Mark the enclosed Proxy Ballot, sign and date it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope we provided. To the extent shares are held jointly, both joint owners must sign the Proxy Ballot.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• <u>At the Special Meeting Over the Internet.</u> The Special Meeting will be held entirely online. Shareholders of record as of April 10, 2026, will be able to attend and participate in the Special Meeting by registering online at https://www.viewproxy.com/voyacbre/broadridgevsm/. Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting online, we recommend that you also vote by proxy as described herein so that your vote will be counted if you decide not to attend the Special Meeting.

**SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION**

You should read this entire Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and the Reorganization Agreement, which is included in **Appendix A**. For more information about Columbia RE Portfolio, please consult **Appendix B**.

At a meeting of the Board on November 13, 2025, the Board unanimously approved the Reorganization Agreement. In connection with the Board's approval of the Reorganization Agreement, the Board was provided with information both in writing and during oral presentations made at that meeting, including, among other matters, historical performance information, historical expense ratios, and the projected expense ratios of Columbia RE Portfolio following the Reorganization. Subject to approval by shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio, the Reorganization Agreement provides for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the transfer of all of the assets of CBRE GRE Portfolio to Columbia RE Portfolio in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of Columbia RE Portfolio and the assumption by Columbia RE Portfolio of all the liabilities of CBRE GRE Portfolio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the distribution of shares of Columbia RE Portfolio to the shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the complete liquidation of CBRE GRE Portfolio.

If shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio approve the Reorganization, each owner of Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio would become a shareholder of the corresponding share class of Columbia RE Portfolio. The Reorganization is expected to be effective on the Closing Date. Each shareholder of CBRE GRE Portfolio will hold, immediately after the close of the Reorganization (the "Closing"), shares of Columbia RE Portfolio having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio held by that shareholder as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

In considering whether to approve the Reorganization, you should note that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Portfolios have substantially the same investment objectives. The investment objective of CBRE GRE Portfolio is to seek high total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The investment objective of Columbia RE Portfolio is to seek total return including capital appreciation and current income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Portfolios invest at least 80% of their net assets in investments tied to companies that are principally engaged in the real estate industry. Some key differences of the Portfolios' strategies are that Columbia RE Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a significant portion of its assets in a single issuer, and Columbia RE Portfolio has exposure to derivative instruments, including contracts for differences, a type of swap arrangement. Additionally, CBRE GRE Portfolio has exposure to a number of different countries, while Columbia RE Portfolio focuses its investments in U.S. issuers. Please refer to the section entitled "How do the Principal Investment Strategies compare?" for additional information on each Portfolio's principal investment strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Voya Investments, LLC ("Voya Investments" or the "Investment Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to each Portfolio. CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets, LLC ("CBRE") serves as the sub-adviser to CBRE GRE Portfolio and Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC ("Columbia") serves as the sub-adviser to Columbia RE Portfolio. Columbia became the sub-adviser of Columbia RE Portfolio effective at the close of business on January 21, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Each Portfolio is distributed by Voya Investments Distributor, LLC (the "Distributor").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In addition to the opportunity for improved performance with Columbia as the Sub-Adviser to Columbia RE Portfolio, the shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio are expected to benefit from lower contractual management fee rates and lower net expense ratios.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Reorganization will not affect a shareholder's right to purchase, redeem, or exchange shares of the Portfolios. In addition, the Reorganization will not affect how shareholders purchase or sell their shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The costs of the Reorganization: (i) are estimated to be $432,800, not including portfolio transition costs, and (ii) are anticipated to be allocated approximately $175,000 to CBRE GRE Portfolio and approximately $257,800 to be borne by the Investment Adviser (or an affiliate), as a result of expense subsidies currently in place for CBRE GRE Portfolio. The Investment Adviser will assume all costs related to the Reorganization if the Reorganization is not consummated. For additional information about what would occur if shareholders do not approve the Reorganization, please see the section entitled "What happens if shareholders do not approve the Reorganization?" below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In addition, the Investment Adviser expects to use a transition manager to assist in aligning the holdings of CBRE GRE Portfolio with the holdings of Columbia RE Portfolio prior to the Closing Date. The Investment Adviser has estimated that there will be approximately $100,000 in explicit portfolio transition costs associated with the Reorganization and that such costs would be borne by CBRE GRE Portfolio. Portfolio transition costs include transaction costs arising from the sale of portfolio securities held by CBRE GRE Portfolio prior to the Reorganization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Reorganization is intended to qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); accordingly, pursuant to this treatment, neither CBRE GRE Portfolio nor its shareholders, nor Columbia RE Portfolio nor its shareholders are expected to recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reorganization.

**APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION**

**What is the proposed Reorganization?** 

Shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio are being asked to approve the Reorganization Agreement, providing for the reorganization of CBRE GRE Portfolio with and into Columbia RE Portfolio. If the Reorganization Agreement is approved, shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio will become shareholders of Columbia RE Portfolio as of the Closing.

**Why is the Reorganization being proposed?** 

The Investment Adviser proposed the Reorganization to offer greater scale while continuing to provide access to a real estate investment option and to reduce the complexity of the Voya funds platform. Consequently, at the November 13, 2025 meeting of the Board, the Investment Adviser proposed, and the Board approved, the Reorganization of CBRE GRE Portfolio into Columbia RE Portfolio. In support of its proposal, the Investment Adviser noted that, in its view, the Reorganization would provide shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio with an immediate benefit through a lower contractual management fee rate, lower net annual operating expenses, and the potential to benefit from a larger, more scalable fund.

**How do the Investment Objectives compare?** 

Each Portfolio's investment objective is described in the chart below. The Portfolios have substantially the same investment objectives.

---

|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **CBRE GRE Portfolio** | **Columbia RE Portfolio** |
| **Investment Objective** | &nbsp;&nbsp; The Portfolio seeks high total return consisting of capital <br> appreciation and current income.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; The Portfolio seeks total return including capital <br> appreciation and current income.<br>|

---

Each Portfolio's investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed by a vote of the Board, without shareholder approval. A Portfolio will provide 60 days' prior written notice of any change in a non-fundamental investment objective.

**How do the Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses compare?** 

The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Portfolios. *Pro forma* fees and expenses, which are the estimated fees and expenses of Columbia RE Portfolio after giving effect to the Reorganization, assume the Reorganization occurred on December 31, 2025. **You may pay other fees and expenses such as fees and expenses imposed under your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.** If these fees or expenses were included in the table, the Portfolios' expenses would be higher. For more information on these charges, please refer to the documents governing your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan or consult your plan administrator.

As shown in the tables below, shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio will experience a decrease in the contractual management fee rate and net annual operating expenses following the Reorganization.

**Expense Examples** 

These Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of a Portfolio with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples do not reflect expenses and charges which are, or may be, imposed under your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a Portfolio for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment had a 5% return each year and that the applicable Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. The Examples reflect applicable expense limitation agreements and/or waivers in effect, if any, for the one-year period and the first two years of the time periods indicated. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

**Portfolio Turnover** 

Each Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses or in the Expense Example, affect a Portfolio's performance.

During the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, CBRE GRE Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 101% of the average value of its portfolio and Columbia RE Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 97% of the average value of its portfolio.

**How do the Principal Investment Strategies compare?** 

Each Portfolio's principal investment strategies are described in more detail in the table below. Both Portfolios invest at least 80% of their net assets in investments tied to companies that are principally engaged in the real estate industry. Some key differences of the Portfolios' strategies are that Columbia RE Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a significant portion of its assets in a single issuer, and Columbia RE Portfolio has exposure to derivative instruments, including contracts for differences, a type of swap arrangement as described more fully in the Portfolio's strategy below. Additionally, CBRE GRE Portfolio has exposure to a number of different countries, while Columbia RE Portfolio focuses its investments in U.S. issuers.

|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **CBRE GRE Portfolio** | **Columbia RE Portfolio** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Principal Investment** <br> **Strategies**<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least <br> 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings <br> for investment purposes) in investments tied to companies <br> that are principally engaged in the real estate industry. <br> For purposes of this 80% policy, a company is principally <br> engaged in the real estate industry if the company: (i) <br> derives at least 50% of its total revenue or earnings from <br> owning, operating, leasing, developing, constructing, <br> financing, managing, brokering, and/or selling commercial, <br> industrial, or residential real estate; or (ii) has at least <br> 50% of its assets invested in real estate. For purposes <br> of this 80% policy, companies principally engaged in the <br> real estate industry may include, without limitation, real <br> estate investment trusts ("REITs"), master limited <br> partnerships, real estate owners, real estate managers, <br> real estate brokers, real estate dealers, and companies <br> with substantial real estate holdings. <br>The sub-adviser (the "Sub-Adviser") may invest in <br> companies of any market capitalization. However, the <br> Sub-Adviser will generally not invest in companies with <br> market capitalizations of less than $100 million at the <br> time of purchase. The Portfolio may also invest in <br> convertible securities, initial public offerings ("IPOs"),<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least <br> 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings <br> for investment purposes) in investments tied to companies <br> that are principally engaged in the real estate industry <br> ("Real Estate Companies"). For purposes of this 80% <br> policy, a company is principally engaged in the real estate <br> industry if at least 50% of its gross income or net profits <br> are attributable to the ownership, construction, <br> management, or sale of residential, commercial, or <br> industrial real estate. For purposes of this 80% policy, <br> companies principally engaged in the real estate industry <br> may include, without limitation, real estate investment <br> trusts ("REITs"), master limited partnerships, real estate <br> owners, real estate managers, real estate brokers, real <br> estate dealers, and companies with substantial real estate <br> holdings. <br>The sub-adviser (the "Sub-Adviser") may invest in <br> companies of any market capitalization. <br>The Portfolio may also invest in other investment <br> companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), <br> to the extent permitted under the Investment Company <br> Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations <br>|

| &nbsp;&nbsp; and Rule 144A securities. The Portfolio will have <br> investments located in a number of different countries, <br> including the United States. The Portfolio may invest in <br> companies located in countries with emerging securities <br> markets. <br>The Portfolio may invest in other investment companies, <br> including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), to the extent <br> permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, <br> as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, <br> and under the terms of applicable no-action relief or <br> exemptive orders granted thereunder (the "1940 Act"). <br>The Sub-Adviser uses a multi-step investment process <br> for constructing the Portfolio's investment portfolio that <br> combines top-down region and sector allocation with <br> bottom-up individual stock selection. <br>First, the Sub-Adviser selects sectors and geographic <br> regions in which to invest and determines the degree <br> of representation of such sectors and regions through <br> a systematic evaluation of public and private property <br> market trends and conditions. <br>Second, the Sub-Adviser uses proprietary analytical <br> techniques to conduct fundamental company analysis, <br> which provides a framework for security selection. This <br> approach incorporates several quantitative and qualitative <br> factors that aid in evaluating performance characteristics <br> of individual securities independently and relative to each <br> other. <br>The Sub-Adviser will also typically employ third-party portfolio <br> optimization tools to help in its evaluation of the Portfolio's <br> current portfolio and its identification of potential <br> investments for the Portfolio. <br>In evaluating investments for the Portfolio, the Sub-Adviser <br> takes into account a wide variety of factors and <br> considerations to determine whether any or all of those <br> factors or considerations might have a material effect <br> on the value, risks, or prospects of a company. Among <br> the factors considered, the Sub-Adviser expects typically <br> to take into account environmental, social, and governance <br> ("ESG") factors. In considering ESG factors, the Sub-Adviser <br> intends to rely primarily on factors identified through internal <br> research and information from independent global providers <br> of ESG and corporate governance research. ESG factors <br> will be only one of many considerations in the Sub-Adviser's <br> evaluation of any potential investment; as ESG assessment <br> is considered alongside the fundamental valuation model <br> in the Sub-Adviser's analysis, the Sub-Adviser generally <br> will not forgo potential investments strictly based on the <br> evaluation of ESG factors. <br>The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, <br> such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets <br> into opportunities believed to be more promising. <br>The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term <br> or long-term basis, up to 33<sup> 1</sup>∕3% of its total assets.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; thereunder, and under the terms of applicable no-action <br> relief or exemptive orders granted thereunder (the "1940<br> Act"). <br>The Portfolio also invests in derivative instruments <br> including, contracts for differences ("CFDs"), which are <br> a type of swap arrangement, to obtain long and short <br> exposures to Real Estate Companies. The Sub-Adviser <br> uses CFDs to express its view of relative value between <br> Real Estate Companies operating in the same part of <br> the real estate market. Specifically, the Sub-Adviser uses <br> CFDs to extend the Portfolio's long position in holdings <br> of which it has a favorable view and enters into short <br> positions in Real Estate Companies of which it has a <br> less favorable view. CFDs create leverage, which may <br> exaggerate increases or decreases in the value of the <br> Portfolio's overall portfolio. Through investment in CFDs, <br> the Portfolio generally expects exposures of approximately <br> 30% (but normally not more than 35%) of the Portfolio's <br> net assets in short positions and approximately 130% <br> (but normally not more than 135%) of the Portfolio's net <br> assets in long positions. The Sub-Adviser generally seeks <br> to maintain CFD long and short exposures for the Portfolio <br> that are approximately balanced. The Portfolio takes long <br> and short positions in equity REITs, mortgage REITs and <br> hybrid REITs. <br>The Sub-Adviser uses fundamental analysis to identify <br> investment opportunities and risks, and in constructing <br> the Portfolio's portfolio, including the Portfolio's long <br> and short positions through CFDs. <br>The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may <br> invest a significant portion of its assets in a single issuer. <br>The Portfolio's investment strategy may involve the frequent <br> trading of portfolio securities. The Sub-Adviser may sell <br> securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure <br> gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities <br> believed to be more promising. <br>The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term <br> or long-term basis, up to 33 <sup>1</sup>∕3% of its total assets.<br>|

**How do the Principal Risks compare?** 

The following table summarizes and compares the principal risks of investing in the Portfolios. You could lose money on an investment in the Portfolios. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Portfolio performance or cause the Portfolios to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate readability, and their

------

order does not imply that the realization of one risk is more likely to occur or have a greater adverse impact than another risk. **An investment in a Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.** As reflected in the table below, the Portfolios have many of the same principal risks.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Principal Risks** | **CBRE GRE Portfolio** | **Columbia RE Portfolio** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Changing Distribution Level:** The Portfolio normally expects to receive income which <br> may include interest, dividends and/or capital gains, depending upon its investments. <br> The distribution amounts paid by the Portfolio will vary and generally depend on the <br> amount of income the Portfolio earns (less expenses) on its portfolio holdings, and <br> capital gains or losses it recognizes. A decline in the Portfolio's income or net capital <br> gains arising from its investments may reduce its distribution level.<br>|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Company:** The price of a company's stock could decline or underperform for many <br> reasons, including, among others, poor management, financial problems, reduced <br> demand for the company's goods or services, regulatory fines and judgments, or <br> business challenges. If a company is unable to meet its financial obligations, declares <br> bankruptcy, or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Concentration:** To the extent that the Portfolio "concentrates," as that term is defined <br> in the 1940 Act, its assets in securities of a particular industry or group of industries, <br> the Portfolio may be more sensitive to financial, economic, business, political, <br> regulatory, and other developments and conditions, including natural or other <br> disasters, affecting issuers in a particular industry or group of industries, and if <br> securities of such industry or group of industries fall out of favor, the Portfolio could <br> underperform, or be more volatile than, a fund that is more broadly invested across <br> industries. <br> ●**Real Estate Industry:** Investments in companies involved in the real estate industry, <br> including real estate investment trusts, may be subject to risks similar to those <br> associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including terrorist attacks, war, <br> or other acts that destroy real property. In addition, these investments may be <br> affected by such factors as falling real estate prices, rising interest rates or property <br> taxes, high foreclosure rates, zoning changes, overbuilding, overall declines in the <br> economy, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the company. Real <br> estate investment trusts may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements. <br> The prices of real estate-related assets generally have not decreased as much as <br> may be expected based on historical correlations between interest rates and prices <br> of real estate-related assets. This presents an increased risk of a correction or <br> severe downturn in real estate-related asset prices, which could adversely impact <br> the value of other investments as well (such as loans, securitized debt, and other <br> debt instruments). This risk is particularly present with respect to commercial real <br> estate-related asset prices, and the value of other investments with a connection to <br> the commercial real estate sector. As examples of the current risks faced by real <br> estate-related assets: tenant vacancy rates, tenant turnover and tenant <br> concentration have increased; owners of real estate have faced headwinds, <br> delinquencies, and difficulties in collecting rents and other payments (which <br> increases the risk of owners being unable to pay or otherwise defaulting on their <br> own borrowings and obligations); property values have declined; inflation, upkeep <br> costs, and other expenses have increased; and rents have declined for many <br> properties.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Convertible Securities:** Convertible securities are securities that are convertible into or <br> exercisable for common stocks at a stated price or rate. Convertible securities are <br> subject to the usual risks associated with debt instruments, such as interest rate risk <br> and credit risk. In addition, because convertible securities react to changes in the <br> value of the underlying stock, they are subject to market risk.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Counterparty:** The entity with which the Portfolio conducts portfolio-related business <br> (such as trading or securities lending), or that underwrites, distributes or guarantees <br> investments or agreements that the Portfolio owns or is otherwise exposed to, may <br> refuse or may become unable to honor its obligations under the terms of a transaction <br> or agreement. As a result, the Portfolio may sustain losses and be less likely to <br> achieve its investment objective. The Portfolio may obtain no or limited recovery in a <br> bankruptcy or other reorganizational proceedings, and any recovery may be significantly <br> delayed. Transactions that the Portfolio enters into may involve counterparties in the <br> financials sector and, as a result, events affecting the financials sector may cause the <br> Portfolio's NAV to fluctuate. These risks may be greater when engaging in <br> over-the-counter transactions or when the Portfolio conducts business with a limited <br> number of counterparties.<br>|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Credit:** The Portfolio could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument in <br> which the Portfolio invests, or the counterparty to a derivative contract the Portfolio <br> entered into, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, <br> rating agencies, pricing services, or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to meet its <br> financial obligations.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Currency:** To the extent that the Portfolio invests directly or indirectly in foreign <br> (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign <br> (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) currencies <br> will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that <br> the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged by the <br> Portfolio through foreign currency exchange transactions.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Derivative Instruments:** Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, <br> including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying asset, reference <br> rate, or index, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes <br> in market interest rates, liquidity risk, valuation risk, and volatility risk. The amounts <br> required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of <br> exposure assumed by the Portfolio. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may <br> have an economic leveraging effect on the Portfolio and exaggerate any increase or <br> decrease in the net asset value. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the <br> Portfolio may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the <br> change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the asset, reference <br> rate, or index being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash <br> investment, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as <br> direct cash investment. <br> ●**Contracts for Differences ("CFDs"):** CFDs are swap arrangements in which the parties <br> agree that their return (or loss) will be based on the relative performance of two or <br> more individual securities, different groups or baskets of securities or other <br> instruments where the parties agree to exchange the difference in the settlement <br> price between the open and closing trades on a particular asset(s). CFDs enable <br> investors to speculate on whether a market will go up or down, and profit from the <br> price movement without owning the underlying asset(s). CFDs essentially allow <br> investors to trade the direction of securities, including over the very short term. <br> CFDs are subject to the risks described above under Derivatives Instruments. <br> ●**Swaps:** In a typical swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return <br> earned on a specified underlying reference for a fixed return or the return from <br> another underlying reference during a specified period of time. Swaps may be <br> difficult to value and may be illiquid. Swaps could result in Portfolio losses if the <br> underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Swaps create <br> significant investment leverage such that a relatively small price movement in a <br> swap may result in immediate and substantial losses to the Portfolio. The Portfolio <br> may only close out a swap with its particular counterparty, and may only transfer a <br> position with the consent of that counterparty. Certain swaps, such as short swap <br> transactions and total return swaps, have the potential for unlimited losses, <br> regardless of the size of the initial position.<br>|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Environmental, Social, and Governance (Equity):** The Sub-Adviser's consideration of ESG <br> factors in selecting investments for the Portfolio is based on information that is not <br> standardized, some of which can be qualitative and subjective by nature. The <br> Sub-Adviser's assessment of ESG factors in respect of a company may rely on <br> third-party data that might be incorrect or based on incomplete or inaccurate <br> information. There is no minimum percentage of the Portfolio's assets that will be <br> invested in companies that the Sub-Adviser views favorably in light of ESG factors, and <br> the Sub-Adviser may choose not to invest in companies that compare favorably to other <br> companies on the basis of ESG factors. It is possible that the Portfolio will have less <br> exposure to certain companies due to the Sub-Adviser's assessment of ESG factors <br> than other comparable mutual funds. There can be no assurance that an investment <br> selected by the Sub-Adviser, which includes its consideration of ESG factors, will <br> provide more favorable investment performance than another potential investment, <br> and such an investment may, in fact, underperform other potential investments.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |  |

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets:** Investing in foreign <br> (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Portfolio experiencing more rapid and extreme <br> changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies <br> due, in part, to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, auditing and financial <br> reporting standards and practices; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory <br> taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for <br> default on sovereign debt; and political changes or diplomatic developments, which <br> may include the imposition of economic sanctions (or the threat of new or modified <br> sanctions) or other measures by the U.S. or other governments and supranational <br> organizations. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly <br> interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may <br> adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region. Foreign <br> (non-U.S.) investment risks may be greater in developing and emerging markets than in <br> developed markets.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Initial Public Offerings:** Investments in IPOs and companies that have recently gone <br> public have the potential to produce substantial gains for the Portfolio. However, there <br> is no assurance that the Portfolio will have access to profitable IPOs or that the IPOs in <br> which the Portfolio invests will rise in value. Furthermore, the value of securities of <br> newly public companies may decline in value shortly after the IPO. When the Portfolio's <br> asset base is small, the impact of such investments on the Portfolio's return will be <br> magnified. If the Portfolio's assets grow, it is likely that the effect of the Portfolio's <br> investment in IPOs on the Portfolio's return will decline.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Interest Rate:** A rise in market interest rates generally results in a fall in the value of <br> bonds and other debt instruments; conversely, values generally rise as market interest <br> rates fall. Interest rate risk is generally greater for debt instruments than floating-rate <br> instruments. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity <br> or duration, the more sensitive it is to changes in market interest rates. Duration is a <br> measure of sensitivity of the price of a debt instrument to a change in interest rate. <br> The U.S. Federal Reserve Board recently lowered interest rates following a period of <br> consistent rate increases. Declining market interest rates increase the likelihood that <br> debt instruments will be pre-paid. Rising market interest rates have unpredictable <br> effects on the markets and may expose debt and related markets to heightened <br> volatility. To the extent that the Portfolio invests in debt instruments, an increase in <br> market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio <br> turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, <br> and increase costs. Increased redemptions may cause the Portfolio to liquidate <br> portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so and may lower returns. If <br> dealer capacity in debt markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further <br> inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in debt markets. Fiscal, economic, monetary, or <br> other governmental policies or measures have in the past, and may in the future, <br> cause or exacerbate risks associated with interest rates, including changes in interest <br> rates. Negative or very low interest rates could magnify the risks associated with <br> changes in interest rates. In general, changing interest rates, including rates that fall <br> below zero, could have unpredictable effects on markets and may expose debt and <br> related markets to heightened volatility. In the case of inverse debt instruments, the <br> interest rate paid by the debt instruments is a floating rate, which will generally <br> decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse debt instruments are <br> indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the <br> inverse debt instruments are indexed decreases. Changes to monetary policy by the <br> U.S. Federal Reserve Board or other regulatory actions could expose debt and related <br> markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity, and reduced liquidity, which <br> may impact the Portfolio's operations and return potential.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Investment Model:** The Sub-Adviser's proprietary investment model may not adequately <br> take into account existing or unforeseen market factors or the interaction among such <br> factors, including changes in how such factors interact, and there is no guarantee that <br> the use of a proprietary investment model will result in effective investment decisions <br> for the Portfolio. Portfolios that are actively managed, in whole or in part, according to <br> a quantitative investment model (including models that utilize forms of artificial <br> intelligence, such as machine learning) can perform differently from the market, based <br> on the investment model and the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on <br> each factor, and changes from the factors' historical trends. Technical issues in the <br> design, development, implementation, application, and maintenance of the models <br> (*e.g.*, stale or inaccurate data, human error, programming or other software issues, <br> coding errors, and technology failures) may create errors or limitations that might go <br> undetected or are discovered only after the errors or limitations have negatively <br> impacted performance.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |  |

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Issuer Non-Diversification:** A non-diversified investment company is subject to the risks <br> of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, including being more susceptible <br> to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a <br> more diversified portfolio might be. In addition, this increases the risk that a change in <br> the value of any one investment held by the Portfolio could affect the overall value of <br> the Portfolio more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater <br> number of investments. Accordingly, the Portfolio's value will likely be more volatile <br> than the value of a more diversified fund.<br>|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Leverage:** Certain transactions and investment strategies may give rise to leverage. <br> Such transactions and investment strategies include, but are not limited to: borrowing, <br> dollar rolls, reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, short sales, <br> and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. The <br> use of certain derivatives may also increase leveraging risk and, in some cases, <br> adverse changes in the value or level of a derivative's underlying asset, rate, or index <br> may result in potentially unlimited losses. The use of leverage may exaggerate any <br> increase or decrease in the net asset value, causing the Portfolio to be more volatile <br> than if the Portfolio had not been leveraged. The use of leverage may increase <br> expenses and increase the impact of the Portfolio's other risks. The use of leverage <br> may cause the Portfolio to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be <br> advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet regulatory requirements <br> resulting in increased volatility of returns. There can be no guarantee that a leveraging <br> strategy will be successful.<br>|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Liquidity:** If a security is illiquid, the Portfolio might be unable to sell the security at a <br> time when the Portfolio's manager might wish to sell, or at all. Further, the lack of an <br> established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, <br> exposing the Portfolio to the risk that the prices at which it sells illiquid securities will <br> be less than the prices at which they were valued when held by the Portfolio, which <br> could cause the Portfolio to lose money. The prices of illiquid securities may be more <br> volatile than more liquid securities, and the risks associated with illiquid securities may <br> be greater in times of financial stress. Certain securities that are liquid when <br> purchased may later become illiquid, particularly in times of overall economic distress <br> or due to geopolitical events such as sanctions, trading halts, or wars. In addition, <br> markets or securities may become illiquid quickly.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Market:** The market values of securities will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and <br> unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions, governmental actions or <br> intervention, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political <br> developments, and other factors. Prices of equity securities tend to rise and fall more <br> dramatically than those of debt instruments. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax <br> policies or developments may adversely impact the investment techniques available to <br> a manager, add to costs, and impair the ability of the Portfolio to achieve its <br> investment objectives.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Market Capitalization:** Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories: <br> large, mid, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to <br> current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If <br> valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to <br> the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the <br> stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies causing a fund that invests in these <br> companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in <br> large-capitalization companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies <br> may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited <br> financial resources, smaller management groups, more limited publicly available <br> information, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with <br> large-capitalization companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization <br> companies may be more volatile and may decline significantly in market downturns.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Market Disruption and Geopolitical:** The Portfolio is subject to the risk that geopolitical <br> events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and <br> markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and <br> markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, <br> issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the United States. <br> Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, tariffs and other restrictions on <br> trade or economic sanctions, rapid technological developments (such as artificial <br> intelligence technologies), and other geopolitical events that have led, and may <br> continue to lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or <br> long-term effects on U.S. and global economies and markets, generally. For example, <br> the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions <br> and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain <br> disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. <br> The economic impacts of COVID-19 have created a unique challenge for real estate <br> markets. Many businesses have either partially or fully transitioned to a <br> remote-working environment and this transition may negatively impact the occupancy <br> rates of commercial real estate over time. Natural and environmental disasters and <br> systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. In <br> addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely <br> affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of the <br> Portfolio's investments, including beyond the Portfolio's direct exposure to Russian <br> issuers or nearby geographic regions. Furthermore, the prolonged conflict between <br> Hamas and Israel, and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas <br> and the involvement of other nations in such conflict, such as the Houthi movement's <br> attacks on marine vessels in the Red Sea, could further destabilize the Middle East <br> region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the oil and natural <br> gas markets. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting <br> market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. A number of <br> U.S. domestic banks and foreign (non-U.S.) banks have experienced financial <br> difficulties and, in some cases, failures. There can be no certainty that the actions <br> taken by regulators to limit the effect of those financial difficulties and failures on <br> other banks or other financial institutions or on the U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) <br> economies generally will be successful. It is possible that more banks or other <br> financial institutions will experience financial difficulties or fail, which may affect <br> adversely other U.S. or foreign (non-U.S.) financial institutions and economies. These <br> events as well as other changes in foreign (non-U.S.) and domestic economic, social, <br> and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups <br> of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor <br> sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Portfolio's investments. Any of <br> these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Portfolio and of the Portfolio's <br> service providers. Recent technological developments in, and the increasingly <br> widespread use of, artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and <br> generative artificial intelligence ("AI"), may pose risks to the Portfolio. For instance, the <br> economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased <br> regulation of AI. As AI is used more widely, the profitability and growth of Portfolio <br> holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of <br> the Portfolio. The legal and regulatory frameworks within which AI operates continue to <br> rapidly evolve, and it is not possible to predict the full extent of current or future risks <br> related thereto.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Master Limited Partnership:** Master Limited Partnerships ("MLPs") are limited <br> partnerships in which ownership interests are publicly traded. MLPs often own or own <br> interests in properties or businesses that are related to oil and gas industries, <br> including pipelines. MLP may also invest in other types of investments, including <br> credit-related investments. Investments held by MLPs may be illiquid. Certain MLP <br> units may trade infrequently and in limited volume and may be subject to more abrupt <br> or erratic price movements than securities of larger or more broadly based companies. <br> Investments in MLPs may adversely affect the ability of the Portfolio to qualify for <br> special tax treatment as a regulated investment company.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Other Investment Companies:** The main risk of investing in other investment <br> companies, including ETFs, is the risk that the value of an investment company's <br> underlying investments might decrease. Shares of investment companies that are <br> listed on an exchange may trade at a discount or premium from their net asset value. <br> You will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment <br> companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in <br> addition to the Portfolio's expenses. The investment policies of the other investment <br> companies may not be the same as those of the Portfolio; as a result, an investment <br> in the other investment companies may be subject to additional or different risks than <br> those to which the Portfolio is typically subject. In addition, shares of ETFs may trade <br> at a premium or discount to net asset value and are subject to secondary market <br> trading risks. Secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide <br> bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods in times of market stress <br> because market makers and authorized participants may step away from making a <br> market in an ETF's shares, which could cause a material decline in the ETF's net asset <br> value.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Portfolio Turnover:** A high portfolio turnover rate may increase transaction costs, which <br> may lower the Portfolio's performance and may increase the likelihood of capital gains <br> distributions.<br>|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Real Estate Companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts:** Investing in real estate <br> companies and REITs may subject the Portfolio to risks similar to those associated <br> with the direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or <br> condemnation, changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, <br> market interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes, <br> overbuilding, high foreclosure rates, and operating expenses in addition to terrorist <br> attacks, wars, or other acts that destroy real property. In addition, REITs may also be <br> affected by tax and regulatory requirements in that a REIT may not qualify for favorable <br> tax treatment or regulatory exemptions. Investments in REITs are affected by the <br> management skill of the REIT's sponsor. The Portfolio will indirectly bear its <br> proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in <br> which it invests.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Real Estate Companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts – VY**<sup>®</sup> **Columbia Real Estate** <br> **Portfolio:** Investing in real estate companies and REITs may subject the Portfolio to <br> risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including <br> losses from casualty or condemnation, changes in local and general economic <br> conditions, supply and demand, market interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory <br> limitations on rents, property taxes, overbuilding, high foreclosure rates, and operating <br> expenses in addition to terrorist attacks, wars, or other acts that destroy real property. <br> REITs are affected by the management skill of the REIT's sponsor. The Portfolio will <br> indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid <br> by each REIT in which it invests. The value of interests in a REIT may be affected by, <br> among other factors, changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the <br> REIT, changes in the prospect for earnings and/or cash flow growth of the REIT itself, <br> defaults by borrowers or tenants, market saturation, decreases in market rates for <br> rents, and other economic, political, or regulatory matters affecting the real estate <br> industry, including REITs. REITs and similar non-U.S. entities depend upon specialized <br> management skills, may have limited financial resources, may have less trading <br> volume in their securities, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price <br> movements than the overall securities markets. In a rising interest rate environment, <br> the stock prices of real estate-related investments may decline and the borrowing <br> costs of these companies may increase. REITs are also subject to the risk of failing to <br> qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as <br> amended. The failure of a REIT to continue to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes can <br> materially and adversely affect its value. Some REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are <br> affected by risks similar to those associated with investments in debt securities <br> including changes in interest rates and the quality of credit extended. Because the <br> value of REITs and other real estate-related companies may fluctuate widely in <br> response to changes in factors affecting the real estate markets, the value of an <br> investment in the Portfolio may be more volatile than the value of an investment in a <br> fund that is invested in a more diverse range of market sectors.<br>|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Securities Lending:** Securities lending involves two primary risks: "investment risk" and <br> "borrower default risk." When lending securities, the Portfolio will receive cash or U.S. <br> government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Portfolio will <br> lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. <br> Borrower default risk is the risk that the Portfolio will lose money due to the failure of a <br> borrower to return a borrowed security. Securities lending may result in leverage. The <br> use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value, <br> causing the Portfolio to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses <br> and increase the impact of the Portfolio's other risks.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Short Sales:** Short sales involve selling a security the Portfolio does not own with the <br> hope of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. When the <br> Portfolio sells a security short and the price of that security rises, the Portfolio will <br> incur a loss equal to the increase in price from the time that the short sale was <br> entered into plus any transaction costs (i.e., premiums and interest) paid to the <br> broker-dealer to borrow the security. Short sales create leverage which may exaggerate <br> any increase or decrease in the Portfolio's net asset value causing the Portfolio to be <br> more volatile than a fund that does not engage in short sales. <br>Short sales expose the Portfolio to the risk that it will be required to buy the security <br> sold short (also known as "covering" the short position) at a time when the security <br> has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss, and the potential loss may be <br> greater for this type of short sale than for a short sale "against the box." A short sale <br> is "against the box" to the extent that the Portfolio contemporaneously owns, or has <br> the right to obtain at no added cost, securities identical to those sold short. A short <br> sale "against the box" may be used to hedge against market risks when the manager <br> believes that the price of a security may decline, causing the value of a security owned <br> by the Portfolio or a security convertible into or exchangeable for such security, to <br> decline. In such case, any future losses in the long position would be reduced by a <br> gain in the short position. The extent to which such gains or losses in the long position <br> are reduced will depend upon the amount of securities sold short relative to the <br> amount of the securities the Portfolio owns.<br>|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; ✔ |

**How do the Fundamental Policies of the Portfolios compare?** 

The following chart compares the fundamental policies of CBRE GRE Portfolio and Columbia RE Portfolio. Each Portfolio has adopted the following investment restrictions as fundamental policies, which means they cannot be changed without the approval of the holders of a "majority" of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. The term "majority" is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of a Portfolio's voting securities present at a meeting of shareholders at which the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of a Portfolio are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of a Portfolio's outstanding voting securities.

**How do the purchase and redemption policies of the Portfolios compare?** 

The Portfolios have the same policies for buying and selling shares. The Portfolios' shares may be offered to insurance company separate accounts serving as investment options under Variable Contracts, Qualified Plans outside the separate account context, custodial accounts, certain investment advisers and their affiliates in connection with the creation or management of a Portfolio, other investment companies (as permitted by the 1940 Act), and other investors as permitted by the diversification and other requirements of section 817(h) of the Code and the underlying U.S. Treasury Regulations.

The Portfolios may not be available as an investment option in your Variable Contract, through your Qualified Plan, or other investment company. Please refer to the prospectus for the appropriate insurance company separate account, investment company, or your plan documents for information on how to direct investments in, or redemptions from, an investment option corresponding to a Portfolio and any fees that may apply. Participating insurance companies and certain other designated organizations are authorized to receive purchase orders on each Portfolio's behalf.

**How does the performance of the Portfolios compare?** 

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Portfolios. The following bar charts show the changes in each Portfolio's performance from year to year, and the table compares each Portfolio's performance to the performance of a broad-based securities market index and additional indices with investment characteristics similar to those of the Portfolio for the same period. In 2024, in accordance with changes to regulatory disclosure requirements, the Investment Adviser changed CBRE GRE Portfolio's primary benchmark from the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index to the MSCI All Country World Index ("MSCI ACWI") and Columbia RE Portfolio's primary benchmark from the MSCI U.S. REIT<sup>®</sup> Index to the Russell 3000<sup>®</sup> Index. The Portfolios continue to use the former primary benchmarks as additional benchmarks that the Investment Adviser believes more closely reflects each Portfolio's principal investment strategies. Each Portfolio's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. The bar charts show the performance of each Portfolio's Class ADV shares. Performance for other share classes would differ to the extent they have differences in their fees and expenses.

Performance shown in the bar charts and in the Average Annual Total Returns table does not include insurance-related charges imposed under a Variable Contract or expenses related to a Qualified Plan. If these charges or expenses were included, performance would be lower. Thus, you should not compare a Portfolio's performance directly with the performance information of other investment products without taking into account all insurance-related charges and expenses payable under your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan. A Portfolio's past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Columbia RE Portfolio's performance prior to January 21, 2026 reflects returns achieved by a different sub-adviser and pursuant to different principal investment strategies than those that are currently being pursued by the Portfolio. If the Portfolio's current sub-adviser and principal investment strategies had been in place for the prior periods, the performance information shown would have been different.

1 Prior to January 21, 2026, CBRE GRE Portfolio's assets were aggregated with those of Columbia RE Portfolio (formerly, VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Real Estate Portfolio which was also sub-advised by CBRE Investment Management Listed Real Assets LLC). The aggregated assets were applied to the above fee schedule for CBRE GRE Portfolio, with the resulting fee prorated back to each Portfolio and the Investment Adviser based on relative net assets. In connection with the sub-adviser change for Columbia RE Portfolio, effective at the close of business on January 21, 2026, the aggregation no longer applies.

**What are the key differences in the rights of shareholders of the Portfolios?** 

CBRE GRE Portfolio and Columbia RE Portfolio are each organized as a series of Voya Investors Trust, a Massachusetts business trust. Each Portfolio is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of the same eight members, seven of whom are independent or disinterested persons, which means they are not "interested persons" of either Portfolio, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. For more information on the history of the Portfolios, see each Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2025, as supplemented, which is incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Because the Portfolios are each a series of Voya Investors Trust, there are no differences in the rights of shareholders of the Portfolios.

**Additional Information about the Portfolios** 

**<u>Dividends and Distributions</u>** 

Each Portfolio generally distributes most or all of its net earnings in the form of dividends, consisting of net investment income and capital gains distributions, if any. Each Portfolio distributes capital gains, if any, annually. Each Portfolio also declares dividends and pays dividends consisting of net investment income, if any, annually.

All dividends and capital gains distributions are automatically reinvested in additional shares of a Portfolio at the NAV of such shares on the payment date unless a participating insurance company's separate account is permitted to hold cash and elects to receive payment in cash.

From time to time a portion of a Portfolio's distributions may constitute a return of capital. To comply with U.S. federal tax laws, a Portfolio may also pay additional distributions of capital gains and/or ordinary income.

**<u>Purchase and Sale of Portfolio Shares</u>** 

Shares of each Portfolio are not offered directly to the public. Purchase and sale of shares may be made only by separate accounts of insurance companies serving as investment options under Variable Contracts or by Qualified Plans, custodian accounts, and certain investment advisers and their affiliates, other investment companies, or permitted investors. Please refer to the prospectus for the appropriate insurance company separate account, investment company, or your plan documents for information on how to direct investments in, or sale from, an investment option corresponding to each Portfolio and any fees that may apply. Participating insurance companies and certain other designated organizations are authorized to receive purchase orders on a Portfolio's behalf.

------

**Tax Information** 

Distributions made by a Portfolio to a Variable Contract or Qualified Plan, and exchanges and redemptions of Portfolio shares made by a Variable Contract or Qualified Plan, ordinarily do not cause the corresponding contract holder or plan participant to recognize income or gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See the Variable Contract prospectus or the governing documents of your Qualified Plan for information regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the distributions to your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan and the holders of the contracts or plan participants.

**<u>Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries</u>** 

If you invest in a Portfolio through a Variable Contract issued by an insurance company or through a Qualified Plan that, in turn, was purchased or serviced through an insurance company, broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, the Portfolio and its Investment Adviser or distributor or their affiliates may: (1) make payments to the insurance company issuer of the Variable Contract or to the company servicing the Qualified Plan and (2) make payments to the insurance company, broker-dealer, or other financial intermediary. These payments may create a conflict of interest by: (1) influencing the insurance company or the company servicing the Qualified Plan to make a Portfolio available as an investment option for the Variable Contract or the Qualified Plan or (2) by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Variable Contract or the pension servicing agent and/or the Portfolio over other options. Ask your salesperson or Qualified Plan administrator or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

**<u>Capitalization</u>** 

The following table shows on an unaudited basis the capitalization of each Portfolio as of March 6, 2026, and on a *pro forma* combined basis as of March 6, 2026, giving effect to the Reorganization.

**Additional Information about the Reorganization** 

**<u>The Reorganization Agreement</u>** 

The terms and conditions under which the proposed transaction may be consummated are set forth in the Reorganization Agreement. Significant provisions of the Reorganization Agreement are summarized below. Shareholders are encouraged to review a form of the Reorganization Agreement, which is attached to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as **Appendix A.** This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Agreement.

The Reorganization Agreement provides for: (i) the transfer, as of the Closing Date, of all of the assets of CBRE GRE Portfolio in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of Columbia RE Portfolio and the assumption by Columbia RE Portfolio of all of CBRE GRE Portfolio's liabilities; and (ii) the distribution of shares of Columbia RE Portfolio to shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio, as provided for in the Reorganization Agreement in complete liquidation of CBRE GRE Portfolio.

Each shareholder of Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio will hold, immediately after the Closing, the corresponding share class of Columbia RE Portfolio having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio held by that shareholder as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

The obligations of the Portfolios under the Reorganization Agreement are subject to various conditions, including approval by the shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio and that each Portfolio receives an opinion from the law firm of Ropes & Gray LLP to the effect that the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A copy of this opinion will be filed with the SEC shortly after the Closing. The Reorganization Agreement also requires that each of the Portfolios take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated may be abandoned, by mutual agreement of the parties or by one party on certain other grounds.

Please refer to **Appendix A** to review the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement.

**<u>Expenses of the Reorganization</u>** 

The expenses of the Reorganization include, but are not limited to, the costs associated with the preparation of necessary filings with the SEC, printing and distribution of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and proxy materials, legal fees, accounting fees, securities registration fees, and expenses of holding the Special Meeting. The costs of the Reorganization: (i) are estimated to be $432,800, (ii) are anticipated to be allocated approximately $175,000 to CBRE GRE Portfolio and approximately $257,800 to be borne by the Investment Adviser (or an affiliate), as a result of expense subsidies currently in place for CBRE GRE Portfolio, and (iii) do not include portfolio transition costs, which are further described below, or any internal administrative expenses incurred and payable by the Investment Adviser (or an affiliate) in notifying Plan Participants and Variable Contract Holders. In addition, the Investment Adviser has estimated that there will be approximately $100,000 in explicit portfolio transition costs associated with the Reorganization and anticipates that such costs will be borne by CBRE GRE Portfolio. Portfolio transition costs include transaction costs arising from the sale of portfolio securities held by CBRE GRE Portfolio prior to the Reorganization. The Investment Adviser will assume all costs related to the Reorganization if the Reorganization is not consummated. For additional information about what would occur if shareholders do not approve the Reorganization, please see the section entitled "What happens if shareholders do not approve the Reorganization?" below.

**<u>Portfolio Transitioning</u>** 

Approximately 75% of CBRE GRE Portfolio's assets are expected to be repositioned in an effort to align CBRE GRE Portfolio's portfolio holdings with those of Columbia RE Portfolio approximately ten days prior to the Reorganization. This is an estimate and the actual amount that is transitioned may be a greater or lesser percentage of CBRE GRE Portfolio's assets. The Investment Adviser expects to utilize a transition manager to assist in aligning the holdings of CBRE GRE Portfolio with the holdings of Columbia RE Portfolio.

Costs of portfolio transitions are measured using implementation shortfall, which measures the change between the market value of a portfolio at the close of the market the day before any trading related to the portfolio transition occurs and the actual price at which the trades are executed during the portfolio transition. Implementation shortfall includes both explicit and implicit transition costs. The explicit transition costs include brokerage commissions, fees, and taxes. As discussed above, the Investment Adviser has estimated that there will be $100,000 in explicit transition costs associated with the Reorganization to be borne by CBRE GRE Portfolio. All the other costs of transitioning CBRE GRE Portfolio are considered implicit costs. These include spread costs, market impact costs, and opportunity costs. Quantifying implicit costs is difficult and involves some degree of subjective determinations. These implicit costs will be borne by the Portfolios in the normal course of the purchase and sale of securities.

If shareholders approve the Reorganization, commencing July 13, 2026 through the close of business on July 24, 2026, CBRE GRE Portfolio is expected to be in a "transition period." During the transition period, CBRE GRE Portfolio may not be pursuing its investment objective and strategies. After the Closing, Columbia, as the sub-adviser to Columbia RE Portfolio, may also sell portfolio holdings that it acquired from CBRE GRE Portfolio, and Columbia RE Portfolio may not be immediately fully invested in accordance with its stated investment strategies. In addition, each Portfolio may engage in a variety of transition management techniques to facilitate the portfolio transition process, including without limitation, the purchase and sale of baskets of securities and exchange-traded funds, and enter into and close futures contracts or other derivative transactions. Such sales and purchases by the Portfolios during the transition period may be made at a disadvantageous time and could result in potential losses to the Portfolios.

------

**<u>Tax Considerations</u>** 

The Reorganization is intended to qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Code. Accordingly, pursuant to this treatment, neither CBRE GRE Portfolio nor the Separate Accounts and Qualified Plans as its shareholders, nor Columbia RE Portfolio nor the Separate Accounts and Qualified Plans as its shareholders, are expected to recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes from the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement. As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, the Portfolios will receive an opinion from tax counsel to the effect that, on the basis of existing provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, current administrative rules, pronouncements and court decisions, and subject to certain qualifications, the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Prior to the Closing Date, CBRE GRE Portfolio will pay to the Separate Accounts of Participating Insurance Companies and Qualified Plans that own its shares a distribution consisting of any undistributed investment company taxable income, any net tax-exempt income, and/or any undistributed realized net capital gains, including any net gains realized from any sales of assets prior to the Closing Date, including portfolio transitions in connection with the Reorganization. Variable Contract owners and Plan Participants are not expected to recognize any income or gains for U.S. federal income tax purposes from this cash distribution.

**<u>Future Allocation of Premiums</u>** 

Shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio have been purchased at the direction of Variable Contract Holders by Participating Insurance Companies through Separate Accounts to fund benefits payable under a Variable Contract. If the Reorganization is approved, Participating Insurance Companies have advised us that all premiums or transfers to CBRE GRE Portfolio will be allocated to Columbia RE Portfolio.

**What is the Board's recommendation?** 

Based upon its review, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons," as defined by the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), determined that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of CBRE GRE Portfolio and its shareholders. In addition, the Board determined that the interests of the shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

Accordingly, after consideration of such factors and information it considered relevant, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Reorganization Agreement and voted to recommend to shareholders that they approve the Reorganization Agreement. The Board is therefore recommending that CBRE GRE Portfolio's shareholders vote "FOR" the Reorganization Agreement.

**What factors did the Board consider?** 

The Board met in person on November 13, 2025 to evaluate and consider the Reorganization. As part of its review process, the Board was represented by and received guidance from independent legal counsel. In the course of its evaluation, the Board reviewed materials received from the Investment Adviser and other information made available to it about the Portfolios. The Board was provided with information both in writing and during oral presentations made at that meeting, including, among other matters, historical performance information, historical expense ratios, and the projected expense ratios of Columbia RE Portfolio following the Reorganization.

Based upon its review, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interests of both Portfolios that the Reorganization be approved and that the interests of each Portfolio's shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In reaching their decision to approve the Reorganization, no single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis, but rather the Board considered a variety of factors, including without limitation the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a presentation from the Investment Adviser regarding proposals, including the Reorganization, intending to, among other things, provide shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio with the opportunity for improved performance with Columbia as the sub-adviser to Columbia RE Portfolio, and to enhance the efficiency and reduce the complexity of the Voya family of funds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Investment Adviser's analysis of potential alternatives to a reorganization, including the liquidation of CBRE GRE Portfolio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance of CBRE GRE Portfolio as compared to the performance of accounts managed by the portfolio management team of Columbia RE Portfolio with the same strategy as Columbia RE Portfolio for the year-to-date, one-year, and since July 1, 2023 time periods;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance of CBRE GRE Portfolio as compared to its Morningstar, Inc. peer group;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the performance of Columbia RE Portfolio and the accounts managed by the portfolio management team to the Morningstar, Inc. peer group;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the lower net annual operating expenses that current shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio are expected to experience as a result of the Reorganization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the similarities in fee structures of each of the Portfolios;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the benefits shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio would receive due to the lower advisory fee breakpoints for Columbia RE Portfolio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the similarities in the investment objectives of each Portfolio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the similarities and differences in the investment strategies of each Portfolio;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the larger combined asset size of the two Portfolios, which would be likely (A) to result in a reduction in expenses for the benefit of current shareholders of both Portfolios; and/or (B) to provide greater scale and superior potential to maintain long-term scale benefits for the shareholders of both Portfolios;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Investment Adviser's representations of how the costs of the Reorganization and explicit portfolio transition costs relating to the Reorganization, as well as any implicit costs, will be borne among the Investment Adviser and CBRE GRE Portfolio;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the net negative revenue impact for the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that would result from the Reorganization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the expected tax consequences of the Reorganization to CBRE GRE Portfolio and its shareholders, including that the Reorganization is intended to qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Board's determination that the Reorganization will not dilute the interests of the shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio.

Different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

**What is the required vote?** 

Approval of the Reorganization Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the meeting, provided that more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the CBRE GRE Portfolio are present in person (virtually) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of CBRE GRE Portfolio.

**What happens if shareholders do not approve the Reorganization?** 

If shareholders of CBRE GRE Portfolio do not approve the Reorganization, CBRE GRE Portfolio will continue to be managed by the Investment Adviser as described in its prospectus, and the Board will determine what additional action, if any, should be taken.

------

**General Information about the Proxy Statement/Prospectus**

**Who is asking for my vote?** 

The Board is soliciting your vote for a special meeting of CBRE GRE Portfolio's shareholders.

**How is my proxy being solicited?** 

Solicitation of proxies or voting instructions is being made primarily by the mailing of the Notice of Special Meeting, this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and the Proxy Ballot on or about May 10, 2026. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, employees of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, telegraph, facsimile, or oral communications.

**What happens to my proxy once I submit it?** 

The Board has named Joanne F. Osberg, Secretary, and Todd Modic, Assistant Secretary, or one or more substitutes designated by them, as proxies who are authorized to vote Portfolio shares as directed by shareholders.

**Can I revoke my proxy after I submit it?** 

A shareholder may revoke the accompanying proxy at any time prior to its use by filing with CBRE GRE Portfolio a written revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. In addition, any shareholder who attends the Special Meeting in person (virtually) may vote by ballot at the Special Meeting, thereby canceling any proxy or voting instruction previously given.

**How will my shares be voted?** 

If you follow the voting instructions, your proxies will vote your shares as you have directed. If you submit your Proxy Ballot but do not vote on the proposals, your proxies will vote on the proposals as recommended by the Board. If any other matter is properly presented at the Special Meeting, your proxies will vote in their discretion in accordance with their best judgment, including on any proposal to adjourn the meeting. At the time this Proxy Statement/Prospectus was printed, the Board knew of no matter that needed to be acted upon at the Special Meeting other than the proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

**<u>Quorum and Tabulation</u>** 

Each shareholder of CBRE GRE Portfolio is entitled to one vote for each share held as to any matter on which such shareholder is entitled to vote and for each fractional share that is owned, the shareholder shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. The holders of 30% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at the Special Meeting.

**<u>Adjournments</u>** 

If a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, if there are insufficient votes to approve any proposal, or for any other reason deemed appropriate by your proxies, your proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to permit additional time for the solicitation of proxies, in accordance with the organizational documents of Voya Investors Trust and applicable law. Solicitation of votes may continue to be made without any obligation to provide any additional notice of the adjournment. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournments in their discretion.

**<u>Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions</u>** 

If a shareholder abstains from voting as to any matter, then the shares represented by such abstention will be treated as shares that are present at the Special Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Abstentions, if any, will have the effect of a vote against the Reorganization proposal. Because the Reorganization proposal is non-routine, there are not expected to be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

**<u>Additional Voting Information</u>** 

The Separate Accounts and Qualified Plans are the record owners of the shares of CBRE GRE Portfolio. The Separate Accounts and Qualified Plans will vote CBRE GRE Portfolio's shares at the Special Meeting in accordance with the timely instructions received from persons entitled to give voting instructions under the Variable Contracts or Qualified Plans. CBRE GRE Portfolio does not impose any requirement that a minimum percentage of voting instructions be received before counting the Separate Accounts and Qualified Plans as the CBRE GRE Portfolio's shareholders in determining whether a quorum is present.

If Variable Contract Holders and Plan Participants fail to give instructions as to how to vote their shares, the Separate Accounts and Qualified Plans will use proportional voting and vote those shares in proportion to the instructions given by other Variable Contract Holders and Plan Participants who voted. The effect of proportional voting is that if a large number of Variable Contract Holders and Plan Participants fail to give voting instructions, a small number of Variable Contract Holders and Plan Participants may determine the outcome of the vote. Because a significant percentage of CBRE GRE Portfolio's shares are held by Separate Accounts, which use proportional voting, the presence of such Separate Accounts at the Special Meeting shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting.

------

**How many shares are outstanding?** 

As of the Record Date, the following shares of beneficial interest of CBRE GRE Portfolio were outstanding and entitled to vote:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Class** | **Shares Outstanding** |
| ADV | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 904353.922 |

| S2 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 26789.106 |
| Total | 10463150.818 |

---

Shares have no preemptive or subscription rights. To the knowledge of the Investment Adviser, as of the Record Date, no current Trustee owns 1% or more of the outstanding shares of any class of CBRE GRE Portfolio, and the officers and Trustees own, as a group, less than 1% of the shares of any class of CBRE GRE Portfolio.

**Appendix C** hereto lists the persons that, as of the Record Date owned beneficially or of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of any class of CBRE GRE Portfolio or Columbia RE Portfolio.

**Can shareholders submit proposals for a future shareholder meeting?** 

CBRE GRE Portfolio is not required to hold annual meetings and currently does not intend to hold such meetings unless shareholder action is required by law. A shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in a proxy statement at any subsequent meeting of shareholders must be submitted in a reasonable time before a proxy statement for that meeting is printed and mailed. Whether a proposal is included in a proxy statement will be determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws.

**Why did my household only receive one copy of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus?** 

Only one copy of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus may be mailed to each household, even if more than one person in the household is a shareholder of record, unless CBRE GRE Portfolio has received contrary instructions from one or more of the household's shareholders. If you need an additional copy of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, please contact Shareholder Services at 1-800-366-0066. If in the future, you do not wish to combine or wish to recombine the mailing of a proxy statement with household members, please inform CBRE GRE Portfolio in writing at 7337 East Doubletree Ranch Road, Suite 100, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258-2034 or via telephone at 1-800-366-0066.

**APPENDIX A: FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION FOR VY**<sup>®</sup> **CBRE GLOBAL REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO**

**THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION** (the "Agreement") is made as of this [ ] day of [ ], 2026, by and between VOYA INVESTORS TRUST ("VIT"), a Massachusetts business trust with its principal place of business at 7337 East Doubletree Ranch Road, Suite 100, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258, on behalf of its series, VY<sup>®</sup> Columbia Real Estate Portfolio (formerly, VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Real Estate Portfolio) (the "Surviving Portfolio"), and VIT, on behalf of its series, VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio (the "Disappearing Portfolio").

This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization and liquidation within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The reorganization (the "Reorganization") will consist of the transfer of all of the assets of the Disappearing Portfolio to the Surviving Portfolio in exchange solely for Class ADV, Class I, Class S and Class S2 voting shares of beneficial interest of the Surviving Portfolio (the "Surviving Portfolio Shares"), the assumption by the Surviving Portfolio of the liabilities of the Disappearing Portfolio described in paragraph 1.3, and the distribution of the Surviving Portfolio Shares to the shareholders of the Disappearing Portfolio in complete liquidation of the Disappearing Portfolio as provided herein, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement.

**WHEREAS**, each of the Disappearing Portfolio and the Surviving Portfolio is a separate series of an open-end, registered investment company of the management type and the Disappearing Portfolio owns securities which generally are assets of the character in which the Surviving Portfolio is permitted to invest; and

**WHEREAS**, the Board of Trustees of the Surviving Portfolio has determined that the exchange of all of the assets of the Disappearing Portfolio for Surviving Portfolio Shares and the assumption of the liabilities of the Disappearing Portfolio, as described in paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3 herein, by the Surviving Portfolio are in the best interests of the Surviving Portfolio and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Surviving Portfolio would not be diluted as a result of this transaction; and

**WHEREAS**, the Board of Trustees of the Disappearing Portfolio has determined that the exchange of all of the assets of the Disappearing Portfolio for Surviving Portfolio Shares and the assumption of the liabilities of the Disappearing Portfolio by the Surviving Portfolio, as described in paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3 herein, is in the best interests of the Disappearing Portfolio and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Disappearing Portfolio would not be diluted as a result of this transaction.

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

**1. TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE DISAPPEARING PORTFOLIO TO THE SURVIVING PORTFOLIO IN EXCHANGE FOR THE SURVIVING PORTFOLIO SHARES, THE ASSUMPTION OF ALL DISAPPEARING PORTFOLIO LIABILITIES AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE DISAPPEARING PORTFOLIO** 

1.1. Subject to the requisite approval of the Disappearing Portfolio shareholders and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Disappearing Portfolio agrees to transfer all of the Disappearing Portfolio's assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Surviving Portfolio, and the Surviving Portfolio agrees in exchange therefor: (i) to deliver to the Disappearing Portfolio the number of full and fractional Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 Surviving Portfolio Shares determined by dividing the value of the Disappearing Portfolio's net assets with respect to each class, computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value of one Surviving Portfolio Share of the same class, computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.2; and (ii) to assume the liabilities of the Disappearing Portfolio, as set forth in paragraph 1.3. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 (the "Closing").

1.2. The assets of the Disappearing Portfolio to be acquired by the Surviving Portfolio shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities and futures interests and dividends or interests receivable that are owned by the Disappearing Portfolio and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Disappearing Portfolio on the closing date provided for in paragraph 3.1 (the "Closing Date") (collectively, "Assets").

1.3. The Disappearing Portfolio will endeavor to discharge all of its liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date. The Surviving Portfolio shall assume all of the liabilities of the Disappearing Portfolio whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date, as defined in paragraph 2.1. On or as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date, the Disappearing Portfolio will declare and pay to its shareholders of record one or more dividends and/or other distributions so that it will have distributed (i) substantially all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid), net tax-exempt income, if any, and realized net capital gain, if any, for each of (A) the current taxable year ending on the Closing Date and (B) any prior taxable year with respect to which a spillback dividend is still timely under Section 855 of the Code, and (ii) any other amounts necessary to be distributed in order to eliminate any excise tax liability under Section 4982 of the Code.

1.4. Immediately after the transfer of assets provided for in paragraph 1.1, the Disappearing Portfolio will distribute to the Disappearing Portfolio's shareholders of record with respect to its Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 shares, determined as of immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date, on a pro rata basis within each class, the Surviving Portfolio Shares of the same class received by the Disappearing Portfolio pursuant to paragraph 1.1. In addition, as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Disappearing Portfolio will completely liquidate. Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished, with respect to each class of the Disappearing Portfolio's shares, by the transfer of the Surviving Portfolio Shares then credited to the account of the Disappearing Portfolio on the books of the Surviving Portfolio to open accounts on the share records of the

------

Surviving Portfolio in the names of the shareholders of record of each class of the Disappearing Portfolio's shares as further described below, determined as of immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date (the "Disappearing Portfolio Shareholders"). The aggregate net asset value of Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 Surviving Portfolio Shares to be so credited to shareholders of Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 shares, respectively, of the Disappearing Portfolio shall, with respect to each class, be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Disappearing Portfolio of that same class owned by such shareholders on the Closing Date. All issued and outstanding Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 Disappearing Portfolio shares will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Disappearing Portfolio, although share certificates representing interests in Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 shares of the Disappearing Portfolio will represent a number of shares of the same class of Surviving Portfolio Shares after the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with paragraph 2.3. The Surviving Portfolio shall not issue certificates representing Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 Surviving Portfolio Shares, respectively, in connection with such exchange.

1.5. Ownership of Surviving Portfolio Shares will be shown on the books of the Surviving Portfolio's transfer agent, as defined in paragraph 3.3.

1.6. Any reporting responsibility of the Disappearing Portfolio including, but not limited to, the responsibility for the filing of regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), any state securities commission, and any U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Disappearing Portfolio until the Disappearing Portfolio completes its liquidation and dissolves. Thereafter, any such reporting responsibilities shall be the responsibility of the Surviving Portfolio's investment manager on behalf of the Disappearing Portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. VALUATION** 

2.1. The value of the Assets shall be the value computed as of immediately after the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange and after the declaration of any dividends and deduction for any expenses of the Reorganization contemplated hereby to be paid by the Disappearing Portfolio on the Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the "Valuation Date"), using the valuation procedures in the then-current prospectus and statement of additional information with respect to the Surviving Portfolio, and valuation procedures established by the Surviving Portfolio's Board of Trustees.

2.2. The net asset value of Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 Surviving Portfolio Shares shall be the net asset value per share computed with respect to that class as of the Valuation Date, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Surviving Portfolio's then-current prospectus and statement of additional information and valuation procedures established by the Surviving Portfolio's Board of Trustees.

2.3. The number of Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 Surviving Portfolio Shares to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) in exchange for the Disappearing Portfolio's assets shall be determined with respect to each such class by dividing the value of the net assets with respect to the Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 shares of the Disappearing Portfolio, as the case may be, determined using the same valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value of the Surviving Portfolio Shares of the same class, determined in accordance with paragraph 2.2.

2.4. All computations of value shall be made by the Disappearing Portfolio's designated record keeping agent and shall be subject to review by the Surviving Portfolio's record keeping agent and by each Portfolio's respective independent registered public accounting firm.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3. CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE** 

3.1. The Closing Date shall be July 24, 2026, or such other date as the parties may agree.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8. FURTHER CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF THE SURVIVING PORTFOLIO AND THE DISAPPEARING PORTFOLIO**

8.1. The Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall have been approved by the requisite vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of the Disappearing Portfolio in accordance with the provisions of VIT's Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, applicable Massachusetts law and the 1940 Act, and certified copies of the resolutions evidencing such approval shall have been delivered to VIT. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither VIT, on behalf of the Surviving Portfolio, nor VIT, on behalf of the Disappearing Portfolio, may waive the conditions set forth in this paragraph 8.1;

8.2. On the Closing Date no action, suit or other proceeding shall be pending or, to its knowledge, threatened before any court or governmental agency in which it is sought to restrain or prohibit, or obtain damages or other relief in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein;

All consents of other parties and all other consents, orders and permits of federal, state and local regulatory authorities deemed necessary by VIT, on behalf of the Surviving Portfolio, or VIT, on behalf of the Disappearing Portfolio, to permit consummation, in all material respects, of the transactions contemplated hereby shall have been obtained, except where failure to obtain any such consent, order or permit would not involve a risk of a material adverse effect on the assets or properties of the Surviving Portfolio or the Disappearing Portfolio, provided that either party hereto may for itself waive any of such conditions;

8.4. The Registration Statement shall have become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop orders suspending the effectiveness thereof shall have been issued and, to the best knowledge of the parties hereto, no investigation or proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or be pending, threatened or contemplated under the 1933 Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9. BROKERAGE FEES AND EXPENSES**

Explicit portfolio transition costs (i.e., brokerage commissions) incurred by the Disappearing Portfolio will be borne by the Disappearing Portfolio. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, expenses will in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses if and to the extent that the payment by another person of such expenses would result in the disqualification of such party as a "regulated investment company" within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code or in failure of the Reorganization to be treated as a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1) of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES**

This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in such manner as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the authorized officers of VIT, on behalf of the Surviving Portfolio, and VIT, on behalf of the Disappearing Portfolio; provided, however, that following the meeting of the shareholders of the Disappearing Portfolio called by VIT pursuant to paragraph 5.2 of this Agreement,

------

no such amendment may have the effect of changing the provisions for determining the number of Class ADV, Class I, Class S, and Class S2 Surviving Portfolio Shares to be issued to the Disappearing Portfolio Shareholders under this Agreement to the detriment of such shareholders without their further approval.

For purposes of this Appendix B, references to "the Portfolio" refer to Columbia RE Portfolio and references to "the SAI" refer to the Portfolio's Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2025, as supplemented.

**Management Fee** 

The Investment Adviser receives an annual fee for its services to the Portfolio. The fee is payable in monthly installments based on the average daily net assets of the Portfolio.

The Investment Adviser is responsible for all of its own costs, including costs of the personnel required to carry out its duties.

The aggregate annual management fee paid by the Portfolio for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 was 0.85% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

For more information regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the investment advisory and investment sub-advisory relationships, please refer to the Portfolio's annual financial statements and other information filed on Form N-CSR which covers the one-year period ended December 31, 2025.

**Portfolio Holdings Information** 

A description of the Portfolio's policies and procedures regarding the release of portfolio holdings information is available in the SAI. Portfolio holdings information can be reviewed online at https://individuals.voya.com/product/mutual-fund/prospectuses-reports.

**How Shares Are Priced**

The Portfolio is open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") opens for regular trading (each such day, a "Business Day"). The net asset value (the "NAV") per share for each class of the Portfolio is determined each Business Day as of the close of the regular trading session ("Market Close"), as determined by the Consolidated Tape Association (the "CTA"), the central distributor of transaction prices for exchange-traded securities (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time unless otherwise designated by the CTA). The NAV per share of each class of the Portfolio is calculated by taking the value of the Portfolio's assets attributable to that class, subtracting the Portfolio's liabilities attributable to that class, and dividing by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. On days when the Portfolio is closed for business, Portfolio shares will not be priced, and the Portfolio will not process purchase or redemption orders. To the extent the Portfolio's assets are traded in other markets on days when the Portfolio does not price its shares, the value of the Portfolio's assets will likely change and you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Portfolio.

Portfolio holdings for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments in open-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day NAV per share. The prospectuses of the open-end registered investment companies in which the Portfolio may invest explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Foreign (non-U.S.) securities' prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of Market Close.

When a market quotation for a portfolio security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable (for example, when trading has been halted or there are unexpected market closures or other material events that would suggest that the market quotation is unreliable) and for purposes of determining the value of other portfolio holdings, the portfolio holding is priced at its fair value. The Board has designated the Investment Adviser, as the valuation designee, to make fair value determinations in good faith. In determining the fair value of the Portfolio's portfolio holdings, the Investment Adviser, pursuant to its fair valuation policy, may consider inputs from pricing service providers, broker-dealers, or the Portfolio's Sub-Adviser(s). Issuer specific events, transaction price, position size, nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers, and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of the fair value of a portfolio holding. Because trading hours for certain foreign (non-U.S.) securities end before Market Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. The prices of foreign (non-U.S.) securities will generally be adjusted based on inputs from a third-party pricing service that are intended to reflect valuation changes through Market Close. Because of the inherent uncertainties of fair valuation, the values used to determine the Portfolio's NAV may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders' investments in the Portfolio.

When your Variable Contract or Qualified Plan is buying shares of the Portfolio, it will pay the NAV that is next calculated after the order from the Variable Contract owner or Qualified Plan participant is received in proper form. When the Variable Contract owner or Qualified Plan participant is selling shares, it will normally receive the NAV that is next calculated after the order form is received from the Variable Contract owner or Qualified Plan participant in proper form. Investments will be processed at the NAV next calculated after an order is received and accepted by the Portfolio or its designated agent. In order to receive that day's price, your order must be received by Market Close.

------

**How to Buy and Sell Shares**

The Portfolio's shares may be offered to insurance company separate accounts serving as investment options under Variable Contracts, Qualified Plans outside the separate account context, custodial accounts, certain investment advisers and their affiliates in connection with the creation or management of the Portfolio, other investment companies (as permitted by the 1940 Act), and other investors as permitted by the diversification and other requirements of section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the underlying U.S. Treasury Regulations.

The Portfolio may not be available as an investment option in your Variable Contract, through your Qualified Plan, or other investment company. Please refer to the prospectus for the appropriate insurance company separate account, investment company, or your plan documents for information on how to direct investments in, or redemptions from, an investment option corresponding to the Portfolio and any fees that may apply. Participating insurance companies and certain other designated organizations are authorized to receive purchase orders on the Portfolio's behalf.

The Portfolio currently does not foresee any disadvantages to investors if it serves as an investment option for Variable Contracts and if it offers its shares directly to Qualified Plans and other permitted investors. However, it is possible that the interests of Variable Contract owners, plan participants, and other permitted investors for which the Portfolio serves as an investment option might, at some time, be in conflict because of differences in tax treatment or other considerations. The Board directed the Investment Adviser to monitor events to identify any material conflicts between Variable Contract owners, plan participants, and other permitted investors and would have to determine what action, if any, should be taken in the event of such conflict. If such a conflict occurred, an insurance company participating in the Portfolio might be required to redeem the investment of one or more of its separate accounts from the Portfolio or a Qualified Plan, investment company, or other permitted investor might be required to redeem its investment, which might force the Portfolio to sell securities at disadvantageous prices. The Portfolio may discontinue sales to a Qualified Plan and require plan participants with existing investments to redeem those investments if the Qualified Plan loses (or in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, is at risk of losing) its Qualified Plan status.

The Portfolio reserves the right to suspend the offering of shares or to reject any specific purchase order. The Portfolio may suspend redemptions or postpone payments when the NYSE is closed or when trading is restricted for any reason or under emergency circumstances as determined by the SEC.

**Distribution Plans and Shareholder Service Plans** 

The Portfolio has a distribution and shareholder service plan (the "12b-1 Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class ADV shares. Payments are made to the Distributor on an ongoing basis as compensation for services the Distributor provides and expenses it bears in connection with the marketing and other fees to support the sale and distribution of the Class ADV shares and for shareholder services provided by securities dealers (including the Investment Adviser) and other financial intermediaries and plan administrators that provide administrative services relating to Class ADV shares and their shareholders, including Variable Contract owners or Qualified Plan participants with interests in the Portfolio. The annual distribution and shareholder service fees under the 12b-1 Plan may equal up to 0.60% (0.35% for distribution fees and 0.25% for shareholder service fees) of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio.

The Portfolio has a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Distribution Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class S2 shares. These payments are made to the Distributor on an ongoing basis as compensation for services the Distributor provides and expenses it bears in connection with the marketing and other fees to support the sale and distribution of the Class S2 shares of the Portfolio. Under the Distribution Plan, the Portfolio makes payments at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to its Class S2 shares.

The Portfolio has a shareholder service plan (the "Service Plan") for Class S and Class S2 shares. These payments are made to the Distributor in connection with shareholder services rendered to Portfolio shareholders and the maintenance of shareholders' accounts. The Service Plan allows VIT to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with insurance companies, broker-dealers (including the Investment Adviser) and other financial intermediaries that provide shareholder and administrative services relating to Class S and Class S2 shares of the Portfolio and its shareholders, including Variable Contract owners or Qualified Plan participants with interests in the Portfolio. Under the Service Plan, the Portfolio makes payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to each of its Class S and Class S2 shares.

Because these distribution and shareholder service fees are paid out of the Portfolio's assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the costs of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

**Frequent Trading – Market Timing**

The Portfolio is intended for long-term investment and not as a short-term trading vehicle. Accordingly, organizations or individuals that use market timing investment strategies and make frequent transfers should not purchase shares of the Portfolio. Shares of the Portfolio are primarily sold through omnibus account arrangements with financial intermediaries, as investment options for

------

Variable Contracts issued by insurance companies and as investment options for Qualified Plans. Omnibus accounts generally do not identify customers' trading activity on an individual basis. The Investment Adviser or affiliated entities have agreements which require such intermediaries to provide detailed account information, including trading history, upon request of the Portfolio.

The Board has made a determination not to adopt a separate policy for the Portfolio with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of shares by the Portfolio's shareholders, but rather to rely on the financial intermediaries to monitor frequent, short-term trading within the Portfolio by its customers. You should review the materials provided to you by your financial intermediary including, in the case of a Variable Contract, the prospectus that describes the contract or, in the case of a Qualified Plan, the plan documentation for its policies regarding frequent, short-term trading. With trading information received as a result of these agreements, the Portfolio may make a determination that certain trading activity is harmful to the Portfolio and its shareholders, even if such activity is not strictly prohibited by the intermediaries' excessive trading policy. As a result, a shareholder investing directly or indirectly in the Portfolio may have their trading privileges suspended without violating the stated excessive trading policy of the intermediary. The Portfolio reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to reject, restrict, or refuse purchase orders whether directly or by exchange including purchase orders that have been accepted by a financial intermediary. The Portfolio seeks assurances from the financial intermediaries that they have procedures adequate to monitor and address frequent, short-term trading. There is, however, no guarantee that the procedures of the financial intermediaries will be able to curtail frequent, short-term trading activity.

The Portfolio believes that market timing or frequent, short-term trading in any account, including a Variable Contract or Qualified Plan account, is not in the best interest of the Portfolio or its shareholders. Due to the disruptive nature of this activity, it can adversely impact the ability of the Investment Adviser or the Sub-Adviser (if applicable) to invest assets in an orderly, long-term manner. Frequent trading can disrupt the management of the Portfolio and raise their expenses through: increased trading and transaction costs; forced and unplanned portfolio turnover; lost opportunity costs; and large asset swings that decrease the Portfolio's ability to provide maximum investment return to all shareholders. This in turn can have an adverse effect on the Portfolio's performance.

Portfolios that invest in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may present greater opportunities for market timers and thus be at a greater risk for excessive trading. If an event occurring after the close of a foreign market, but before the time the Portfolio computes its current NAV, causes a change in the price of the foreign (non-U.S.) security and such price is not reflected in its current NAV, investors may attempt to take advantage of anticipated price movements in securities held by the Portfolio based on such pricing discrepancies. This is often referred to as "price arbitrage." Such price arbitrage opportunities may also occur in funds which do not invest in foreign (non-U.S.) securities. For example, if trading in a security held by the Portfolio is halted and does not resume prior to the time it calculates its NAV such "stale pricing" presents an opportunity for investors to take advantage of the pricing discrepancy. Similarly, funds that hold thinly-traded securities, such as certain small-capitalization securities, may be exposed to varying levels of pricing arbitrage. The Portfolio has adopted fair valuation policies and procedures intended to reduce its exposure to price arbitrage, stale pricing and other potential pricing discrepancies. However, to the extent that the Portfolio does not immediately reflect these changes in market conditions, short-term trading may dilute the value of the Portfolio's shares which negatively affects long-term shareholders.

The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Rebalancing to facilitate fund-of-fund arrangements or the Portfolio's systematic exchange privileges; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Purchases or sales initiated by certain other funds in the Voya family of funds.

Although the policies and procedures known to the Portfolio that are followed by the financial intermediaries that use the Portfolio and the monitoring by the Portfolio are designed to discourage frequent, short-term trading, none of these measures can eliminate the possibility that frequent, short-term trading activity in the Portfolio will occur. Moreover, decisions about allowing trades in the Portfolio may be required. These decisions are inherently subjective, and will be made in a manner that is in the best interest of the Portfolio's shareholders.

**Payments to Financial Intermediaries**

Voya mutual funds may be offered as investment options in Variable Contracts issued by affiliated and non-affiliated insurance companies and in Qualified Plans. Fees derived from the Portfolio's Distribution and/or Service Plans (if applicable) may be paid to insurance companies, broker-dealers, and companies that service Qualified Plans for selling the Portfolio's shares and/or for servicing shareholder accounts. Fees derived from the Portfolio's Service Plan may be paid to insurance companies, broker-dealers, and companies that service Qualified Plans for servicing shareholder accounts. Shareholder services may include, among other things, administrative, record keeping, or other services that insurance companies or Qualified Plans provide to the clients who use the Portfolio as an investment option. In addition, the Investment Adviser, Distributor, or their affiliated entities, out of their own resources and without additional cost to the Portfolio or its shareholders, may pay additional compensation to these insurance companies, broker-dealers, or companies that service Qualified Plans. The Investment Adviser, Distributor, or affiliated entities of the Portfolio may also share their profits with affiliated insurance companies or other Voya entities through inter-company payments.

For non-affiliated insurance companies and Qualified Plans, payments from the Portfolio's Distribution and/or Service Plans (if applicable) as well as payments (if applicable) from the Investment Adviser and/or Distributor generally are based upon an annual percentage of the average net assets held in the Portfolio by those companies. Payments to financial intermediaries by the Distributor or its affiliates or by the Portfolio may provide an incentive for insurance companies or Qualified Plans to make the Portfolio available through Variable Contracts or Qualified Plans over other mutual funds or products.

------

As of the date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Distributor has entered into agreements with the following non-affiliated insurance companies: C.M. Life Insurance Company, First Security Benefit Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York, First Symetra National Life Insurance Company of New York, Lincoln Financial Group, Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, Nationwide Life Insurance Company, New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation, Security Benefit Life Insurance Company, Security Equity Life Insurance Company, Security Life of Denver Insurance Company, Standard Life Insurance Company, Symetra Life Insurance Company, Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company, TIAA Life Insurance Company, Transamerica Life Insurance Company, Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, Union Securities, Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company, and Zurich American Life Insurance Company. Except as discussed in further detail below, the fees payable under these agreements are for compensation for providing distribution and/or shareholder services for which the insurance companies are paid at annual rates that range from 0.00% to 0.55%. This is computed as a percentage of the average aggregate amount invested in the Portfolio by Variable Contract holders through the relevant insurance company's Variable Contracts.

The insurance companies issuing Variable Contracts or Qualified Plans that use the Portfolio as an investment option may also pay fees to third parties in connection with distribution of the Variable Contracts and for services provided to Variable Contract owners. Entities that service Qualified Plans may also pay fees to third parties to help service the Qualified Plans or the accounts of their participants. Neither the Portfolio, the Investment Adviser, nor the Distributor are parties to these arrangements. Variable Contract owners should consult the prospectus and statement of additional information for their Variable Contracts for a discussion of these payments and should consult with their agent or broker. Qualified Plan participants should consult with their pension servicing agent.

Ultimately, the agent or broker selling the Variable Contract to you could have a financial interest in selling you a particular product to increase the compensation they receive. Please make sure you read fully each prospectus and discuss any questions you have with your agent or broker.

**Dividends and Distributions** 

The Portfolio generally distributes most or all of its net earnings in the form of dividends, consisting of net investment income and

capital gains distributions, if any. The Portfolio distributes capital gains, if any, annually. The Portfolio also declares dividends and pays dividends consisting of net investment income, if any, annually.

All dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio at the NAV of such shares on the payment date unless a participating insurance company's separate account is permitted to hold cash and elects to receive payment in cash.

From time to time a portion of the Portfolio's distributions may constitute a return of capital. To comply with U.S. federal tax laws, the Portfolio may also pay additional distributions of capital gains and/or ordinary income.

**Tax Consequences** 

Holders of Variable Contracts should refer to the prospectus for their contracts for information regarding the tax consequences of owning such contracts and should consult their tax advisers before investing.

The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes by satisfying the requirements under Subchapter M of the Code, including requirements with respect to diversification of assets, distribution of income and sources of income. As a RIC, the Portfolio generally will not be subject to tax on its net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains that it timely distributes to its shareholders.

The Portfolio also intends to comply with the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Code and the underlying regulations for Variable Contracts so that owners of these contracts should not be subject to U.S. federal tax on distributions of dividends and income from the Portfolio to an applicable insurance company's separate accounts.

Since the sole shareholders of the Portfolio will be separate accounts of insurance companies or other permitted investors, no discussion is included herein as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences at the shareholder level. For information concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to purchasers of Variable Contracts, see the prospectus for the applicable contract.

See the SAI for further information about tax matters.

**The tax status of your investment in the Portfolio depends upon the features of your Variable Contract. For further information, please refer to the prospectus for the Variable Contract.**

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Portfolio's financial performance for the periods shown. Certain information reflects the financial results for a single share. The total returns in the table represent the rate of return that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the Portfolio (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and/or distributions). The information has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, whose report, along with the Portfolio's financial statements, is included in the Portfolio's Form N-CSR, which is available upon request.

Selected data for a share of beneficial interest outstanding throughout each year or period. The Portfolio was formerly known as VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Real Estate Portfolio.

**Accompanying Notes to Financial Highlights**

(1) Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends, capital gain distributions, and return of capital distributions, if any, at net asset value and does not reflect the effect of insurance contract charges.

(2) Ratios do not include fees and expenses charged under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy.

(3) Ratios reflect operating expenses of the Portfolio. Expenses before reductions/additions do not reflect amounts reimbursed or recouped by the Investment Adviser and/or the Distributor or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the Portfolio during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the Investment Adviser and/or the Distributor or recoupment of previously reimbursed fees by the Investment Adviser, but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions/additions represent the net expenses paid by the Portfolio. Net investment income (loss) is net of all such additions or reductions.

• Calculated using average number of shares outstanding throughout the year or period.

\*

Amount is less than $0.005 or 0.005% or more than $(0.005) or (0.005)%.

| **ACQUISITION OF THE ASSETS OF:** <br> **VY® CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio** <br> **(A series of Voya Investors Trust)**<br>| **BY AND IN EXCHANGE FOR SHARES OF:** <br> **VY® Columbia Real Estate Portfolio** <br> **(*formerly*, VY® CBRE Real Estate Portfolio)** <br> **(A series of Voya Investors Trust)**<br>|

---

This Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") of VY<sup>®</sup> Columbia Real Estate Portfolio (*formerly,* VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Real Estate Portfolio) (the "Acquiring Portfolio") is available to the shareholders of VY<sup>®</sup> CBRE Global Real Estate Portfolio (the "Target Portfolio"), in connection with a proposed transaction whereby all of the assets and liabilities of the Target Portfolio will be transferred to the Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Portfolio.

This SAI consists of the cover page, the information set forth below and the following described documents, each of which is incorporated by reference herein and accompanies this SAI:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. [The Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2025, as supplemented, for the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/837276/000168386325004048/f41563d1.htm)[Portfolio (File No. 811-05629);](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/837276/000168386325004048/f41563d1.htm) and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. [The audited annual financial statements and other information filed on Form N-CSR which covers the period ended December](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/837276/000110465926025185/tm263417d1_ncsr.htm)[31, 2025 for the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio (File No. 811-05629).](http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/837276/000110465926025185/tm263417d1_ncsr.htm)

No other parts of the annual financial statements and other information filed on Form N-CSR are incorporated herein by reference.

This SAI is not a prospectus. A Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated April 22, 2026, relating to the reorganization described above (the "Reorganization") may be obtained, without charge, by writing to Voya Investment Management at 7337 East Doubletree Ranch Road, Suite 100, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258-2034 or by calling 1-800-366-0066. This SAI should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

------

**Supplemental Financial Information** 

Rule 6-11(d)(2) under Regulation S-X requires that, with respect to any fund acquisition, registered investment companies must provide certain supplemental financial information in lieu of pro forma financial statements required by Regulation S-X. For this reason, pro forma financial statements of the Acquiring Portfolio are not included in this SAI.

Following the Reorganization, the Acquiring Portfolio will be the accounting and performance survivor.

A table showing the fees and expenses of the Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio, and the fees and expenses of the Acquiring Portfolio on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proposed Reorganization, is included in the section entitled "How do the Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses Compare?" of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

It is currently anticipated that approximately 75% of the Target Portfolio's holdings will be sold in advance of the Reorganization due, in part, to the fact that the Acquiring Portfolio does not have a global investment mandate, and the resulting proceeds will be invested in accordance with the Acquiring Portfolio's principal investment strategies. A schedule of investments of the Target Portfolio as of December 31, 2025 is included below and is annotated to reflect the anticipated sale of the Target Portfolio's portfolio holdings in connection with the Reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, changes may be made to the Target Portfolio's portfolio in advance of the Reorganization and/or the Acquiring Portfolio's portfolio following the Reorganization.

There are no material differences in the accounting policies of the Target Portfolio as compared to those of the Acquiring Portfolio.

**OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 15. Indemnification**

Reference is made to Article V, Section 5.4 of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Pursuant to Indemnification Agreements between the Trust and each Independent Trustee, the Trust indemnifies each Independent Trustee against any liabilities resulting from the Independent Trustee's serving in such capacity, provided that the Trustee has not engaged in certain disabling conduct.

The Trust has a management agreement with Voya Investments, LLC ("Voya Investments"). Generally, the Trust will indemnify Voya Investments from and against, any liability for, or any damages, expenses, or losses incurred in connection with, any act or omission connected with or arising out of any services rendered under the management agreement between the Trust and Voya Investments, except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of the Voya Investment's duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, its By-laws or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by directors, officers or controlling persons or the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.

The Registrant agrees that every prospectus that is filed under paragraph (1) above will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until the amendment is effective, and that, in determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement for the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering of them.
