Dear Shareholder:

Enclosed is a notice, proxy statement and proxy cards for two Joint Special Meetings of Shareholders (each, a “Meeting” and, collectively, the “Meetings”) of Voya Credit Income Fund (“CIF”), Voya Enhanced Securitized Income Fund, Voya Equity Trust, Voya Funds Trust, Voya Mutual Funds, and Voya Separate Portfolios Trust (each a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”). The Meetings are scheduled for September 11, 2025. The Meetings will be held in a virtual meeting format only. You will be able to attend and participate in the first Meeting online by visiting https://www.viewproxy.com/voya/broadridgevsm/ . You will be able to attend the second Meeting online by visiting https://www.viewproxy.com/voya2/broadridgevsm/ . When attending online, you will be able to listen to the Meetings 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 Meetings?” section of the proxy statement for more details regarding the virtual format of the Meetings. You will not be able to attend the Meetings physically. If you were a shareholder of record of CIF or of a series of the Trusts (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) as of the close of business on June 16, 2025, you are entitled to vote at the applicable Meetings and any adjournment of the Meetings.

At the first Meeting:

•Shareholders of each Trust will be asked to elect Trustees to their respective Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Six of the ten nominees are currently Trustees of each Trust.

At the second Meeting:

•Shareholders of CIF will be asked to approve a proposal to amend the Fund’s fundamental investment restriction with respect to purchases and sales of equity securities; and

•Shareholders of Voya Global Income & Growth Fund (“GI&G Fund”), a series of Voya Equity Trust, will be asked to approve an amendment to the management agreement between Voya Investments, LLC and Voya Equity Trust, on behalf of the GI&G Fund.

The Board has unanimously approved each proposal and recommends that you vote “FOR” each proposal, and “FOR” each nominee, as described in the proxy statement.

•Your vote is important to us. Please take a few minutes to review this proxy statement and vote your shares today. We have enclosed a proxy card that we ask you to complete, sign, date and return as soon as possible, unless you plan to attend the Meetings. You may also vote your shares by telephone, or over the Internet or in person (virtually). Please follow the enclosed instructions to utilize any of these voting methods. If we do not receive your vote promptly, you may be contacted by a representative of the Funds, who will remind you to vote your shares.

Formal notice of each Meeting appears on the following pages, followed by the proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”). Each Proposal is discussed in detail in the enclosed Proxy Statement, which you should read carefully.

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 take a few minutes to read the Proxy Statement and cast your vote. It is important that your vote be received no later than September 10, 2025.

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

Sincerely,

Christian G. Wilson

President
