Stable Value Investments

Experience stable value investing the Voya way

Voya’s Stable Value means exactly that. It’s a low-risk investment option that gives employees a reason to stay in the plan, creating better pricing opportunities for the whole plan.

Three primary benefits:

  1. Principal preservation to help safeguard capital and prevent loss
  2. Steady returns (generally higher with stable value over the long-run than money market funds and cash)
  3. Benefit-responsive liquidity offers employees the ability to access their money when they need to

Synthetic Guaranteed Investment Contract (GIC)

The Voya Stabilizer℠ product utilizes a separate account established by Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (VRIAC), insulated from claims arising out of any other business conducted by VRIAC. The product is generally guaranteed to preserve principal based on the claims-paying ability of VRIAC. The plan sponsor can choose from one of our commingled separate account fixed income strategies or, if the assets of the Stabilizer account will exceed $100 million, can work with us to design an individually customized strategy. The fixed income strategies are managed by a dedicated staff through Voya Investment Management Co. LLC. Stabilizer is available within Voya’s recordkept plans, as well as on an investment only basis.
