Voya Prime Rate Trust: Principal Risks

Risk is inherent in all investing. The following are the principal risks associated with investing in Voya Prime Rate Trust.

Credit Risk: The fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in below investment grade senior bank loans and other below investment grade assets. Below investment grade loans involve a greater risk that borrowers may not make timely payment of the interest and principal due on their loans. They also involve a greater risk that the value of such loans could decline significantly. If borrowers do not make timely payments of the interest due on their loans, the yield on the fund's Common Shares will decrease. If borrowers do not make timely payment of the principal due on their loans, or if the value of such loans decreases, the fund's NAV will decrease.

Interest rate risk: The yield on senior loans is directly affected by changes in market interest rates. If such rates fall, the yield may fall. Also, if overall interest rates on loans decline, the yield may fall and the value of the loans may decrease. When market interest rates rise, there may be a delay in the rise in the yield on loans due to a lag between changes in such rates and the resetting of the floating rates on the loans. There may also be a delay due to the effect of LIBOR floors, which establish a lower limit on the LIBOR portion of a loan's yield. Rises in market interest rates must exceed applicable LIBOR floors before such rises will affect the yield on a loan with a LIBOR floor.

Leverage risk: The fund's use of leverage through borrowings and the issuance of Preferred Shares can adversely affect the yield on the fund's Common Shares. To the extent that the fund is unable to invest the proceeds from the use of leverage in assets which pay interest at a rate which exceeds the rate paid on the leverage, the yield on the fund's Common Shares will decrease. In addition, in the event of a general market decline in the value of assets such as those in which the fund invests, the effect of that decline will be magnified in the fund because of the additional assets purchased with proceeds of the leverage.

Limited secondary market for loans: Because of the limited secondary market for loans, the fund may be limited in its ability to sell loans in its portfolio in a timely fashion and/or at a favorable price.

Demand for loans: An increase in demand for loans may adversely affect the rate of interest payable on new loans acquired by the fund, and it may also increase the price of loans in the secondary market. A decrease in the demand for loans may adversely affect the price of loans in the fund's portfolio, which could cause the fund's NAV to decline.

This is not, and is not intended to be, a description of all risks of investing in the fund. The fund's current Prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Consider the fund's investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing.

Source: Morningstar: CE Bank Loan Category; data as of December 31, 2019

Note: We are using December 31 leverage data as a source for leverage data for the Morningstar Closed End Loan Funds because Morningstar's leverage ratio methodology utilizes the borrowings reported on a fund's most recent regulatory filing divided by the assets at the noted period end. Normally this approach would likely not be materially different than the actual official leverage ratio of a fund at that point in time, but given the massive marked-to-market changes in March we did not want to misrepresent leverage levels which each manager was likely adjusting relative to their usual percentages.

Data as of March 31, 2020. Source: Voya Investment Management; S&P/LCD.

The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index is an unmanaged total return index that captures accrued interest, repayments, and market value changes. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Portfolio will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See above "Average Annual Total Returns %" for performance information current to the most recent month-end.

Returns for the other share classes will vary due to different charges and expenses. Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes.

Total investment return at net asset value has been calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value at the beginning of the period and a sale at net asset value at the end of the period; and assumes reinvestment of dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions/allocations, if any, in accordance with the provisions of the dividend reinvestment plan. Net asset value equals total Fund assets net of Fund expenses such as operating costs and management fees. Total investment return at net asset value is not annualized for periods less than one year.

1.The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Trust. This expense limitation agreement excludes interest, taxes, investment-related costs, leverage expenses, and extraordinary expenses and may be subject to possible recoupment. Please see the Trust's prospectus for more information. The expense limits will continue through at least 2020- 07-01. If the Trust were not to borrow, or the interest expense on the borrowings is excluded from the expenses of the Trust, the net annual expenses would be 1.22%.

Voya Prime Rate Trust

Risk is inherent in all investing. The following are the principal risks associated with investing in Voya Prime Rate Trust.

Credit Risk: The fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in below investment grade senior bank loans and other below investment grade assets. Below investment grade loans involve a greater risk that borrowers may not make timely payment of the interest and principal due on their loans. They also involve a greater risk that the value of such loans could decline significantly. If borrowers do not make timely payments of the interest due on their loans, the yield on the fund's Common Shares will decrease. If borrowers do not make timely payment of the principal due on their loans, or if the value of such loans decreases, the fund's NAV will decrease.

Interest rate risk: The yield on senior loans is directly affected by changes in market interest rates. If such rates fall, the yield may fall. Also, if overall interest rates on loans decline, the yield may fall and the value of the loans may decrease. When market interest rates rise, there may be a delay in the rise in the yield on loans due to a lag between changes in such rates and the resetting of the floating rates on the loans. There may also be a delay due to the effect of LIBOR floors, which establish a lower limit on the LIBOR portion of a loan's yield. Rises in market interest rates must exceed applicable LIBOR floors before such rises will affect the yield on a loan with a LIBOR floor.

Leverage risk: The fund's use of leverage through borrowings and the issuance of Preferred Shares can adversely affect the yield on the fund's Common Shares. To the extent that the fund is unable to invest the proceeds from the use of leverage in assets which pay interest at a rate which exceeds the rate paid on the leverage, the yield on the fund's Common Shares will decrease. In addition, in the event of a general market decline in the value of assets such as those in which the fund invests, the effect of that decline will be magnified in the fund because of the additional assets purchased with proceeds of the leverage.

Limited secondary market for loans: Because of the limited secondary market for loans, the fund may be limited in its ability to sell loans in its portfolio in a timely fashion and/or at a favorable price.

Demand for loans: An increase in demand for loans may adversely affect the rate of interest payable on new loans acquired by the fund, and it may also increase the price of loans in the secondary market. A decrease in the demand for loans may adversely affect the price of loans in the fund's portfolio, which could cause the fund's NAV to decline.

This is not, and is not intended to be, a description of all risks of investing in the fund. The fund's current Prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Consider the fund's investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing.
