To help retirement savers with their financial security, Voya Financial has launched a new stable value solution that provides differentiated sector allocations and manager diversity.
Known as the Voya/RAM Focus Stable Value Fund, the new fund will be managed by Voya Investment Management and Ramirez Asset Management, an affiliate of Samuel A. Ramirez & Company. According to the June 22 announcement, it will be available to any workplace retirement savings plan currently eligible to use stable value as an investment option.
“We’re thrilled to offer a new and unique solution through the Voya/RAM Focus Stable Value Fund, which provides a specific focus on retirement security,” notes Heather Lavallee, CEO of Wealth Solutions at Voya Financial. “Having a low-risk investment option can help individuals navigate market stress during uncertain times, which is an important consideration given what many experienced this past year amid the pandemic.”
Key features of the Voya/RAM Focus Stable Value Fund include:
- a focus on high-quality, diversified fixed income strategy optimized for pursuing strong risk-adjusted returns; and
- a dynamic sector allocation process where Voya IM and RAM regularly evaluate macroeconomic and thematic insights that drive a risk profile based on their views of the best relative symmetry between risk and return in the market.
