"The Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund underperformed its benchmark in 4Q25 due to stock selection, despite a positive overall market environment supported by Fed rate cuts. The team remains cautious yet constructive for 2026, prioritizing nimble allocation and emerging opportunities in defensives and rate-sensitive sectors."
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Voya MidCap Opportunities Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index, on a NAV basis, primarily due to unfavorable stock selection in consumer discretionary, industrials, and healthcare. Equity markets broadly advanced, driven by moderating inflation, robust corporate earnings, and support from the Federal Reserve via two 25 basis point rate cuts. Key performance detractors included Roblox Corp. and Doximity, while Vera Therapeutics, Comfort Systems USA, and Dollar Tree contributed positively. Entering 2026, the portfolio managers maintain a resilient but cautious outlook, noting a soft landing scenario but warning of policy and geopolitical uncertainties that require a nimble positioning strategy targeting defensive and rate-sensitive sectors.
