what happened

Voya Investment Management said the IAE and IHD funds, both listed on the NYSE, have been combined into the Voya Multi-Manager Emerging Markets Equity Fund, which continues as the surviving vehicle. According to TradingView, the change took effect at the end of trading on Friday, October 16, 2026.

Holders of each fund received Class W shares of the surviving fund worth the same amount as their previous holdings at the close. The net asset value per share was $6.9600 for IAE, with a conversion ratio of 0.4471, and $7.3623 for IHD, with a ratio of 0.4731.

The announcement is informational only and is not an offer to buy or sell shares of any of the funds.

why it matters

For investors, the change replaces old holdings with a new share class, and the conversion ratios determine how many new shares each holder receives. Consolidations like this reduce the number of high-dividend funds focused on emerging markets, but they typically have little direct impact on the broader market.
