- Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGD) is a diversified closed-end management investment company that seeks a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund primarily invests at least 80% of its managed assets in a portfolio of common stocks of dividend-paying companies located throughout the world, including the United States, with a focus on those having market capitalizations of $1 billion or more across diversified sectors such as financials, industrials, health care, consumer staples, and communication services; it sells call options on selected indices, individual securities, or exchange-traded funds to generate premium income and seek to lower the volatility of total returns over a market cycle; and it may partially hedge currency exposure to further reduce return volatility. The Fund, which pays monthly dividends, was launched on March 28, 2005, by Voya Investment Management LLC, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, and is co-managed by Voya Investments, LLC and NNIP Advisors B.V. As of November 30, 2025, the Fund manages net assets of approximately $487.4 million, with 234 holdings including top positions in Meta Platforms Inc., Johnson & Johnson, iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF, AbbVie Inc., and Cisco Systems Inc.; its portfolio is heavily weighted toward the United States (67.55%) with additional exposure to the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and France. The investment team includes experienced portfolio managers such as Russell Shtern, CFA, Kai Yee Wong, and Susanna Jacob from Voya Investment Management Co. LLC. The Fund may lend portfolio securities up to 33 1/3% of its managed assets to broker-dealers or institutional borrowers in exchange for cash collateral and fees, which it uses to support its investment program including collateral posting requirements. In recent developments, Voya Investment Management announced monthly distributions for IGD on December 14, 2025, continuing its pattern of $0.05 per share payouts seen throughout 2025, supported by strong financial performance including $66.95 million in net income attributable to common shareholders and $0.8489 basic earnings per share in Q3 2025; the Fund has maintained consistent dividend declarations, with ex-dates including December 1, 2025, November 3, 2025, and October 1, 2025, often accompanied by Section 19 notices indicating portions may represent return of capital. Portfolio adjustments as of April 2025 included new positions in The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, LY Corporation, Frendy Energy S.p.A., Alcon Inc., and ADT Inc. No major acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or strategic reorganizations have been reported in the last 1-2 years.
