Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund·Financial Services

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voya Investment Management, the asset management business of Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today the distributions on the common shares of five of its closed-end funds: Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGA), Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGD), Voya Infrastructure, Industrials and Materials Fund (NYSE: IDE), Voya Asia Pacific High Dividend Equity Income Fund (NYSE: IAE), and Voya Emergin.

Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund (IGD) retains a sell rating due to structural flaws and persistent NAV erosion. IGD's high 10.2% dividend yield is unsustainable, with 89% of recent distributions classified as return of capital, undermining NAV growth. The fund's option writing strategy limits upside in strong markets and forces sales of top positions, hindering long-term capital appreciation.
