Barbara Reinhard said equity markets remain supported despite uncertainty surrounding the Iran conflict. She pointed to strong corporate earnings, positive forward guidance, and significant stock buybacks as key drivers behind the market rally while speaking about the markets on Bloomberg Surveillance.

There is a real risk of a whipsaw in equities because of the news-related nature of the war and this a highly uncertain time for investors to make any major bets, says Voya's Barbara Reinhard, who joined Bloomberg Surveillance to talk about the market.

Voya Investment Management and Pomona Capital, a global private equity firm affiliated with Voya, announced an enhanced digital experience for the Pomona Investment Fund (PIF). The digital experience is powered by private markets technology from Templum.

The initiative gives investors direct access to PIF while maintaining the investment rigor, regulatory oversight, and operational discipline required for institutional-quality private equity. The enhanced digital experience introduces an “Invest Now” feature on the PIF landing page that connects investors to a secure, white-labeled portal. Through this portal, eligible investors can complete onboarding, execute subscription documents and place orders in a streamlined, end-to-end digital workflow.

Voya Investment Management announced today the results of a survey focused on the views of investors in relation to target-date funds (TDFs). The results reveal a clear trend: Participants who invest in TDFs feel significantly more confident about their retirement journey.

According to the survey, 71% of employed TDF investors feel confident about reaching their retirement goals, compared with just 58% of non-investors. The confidence gap widens when looking at stress reduction: 91% of employed TDF investors agree that investing in a TDF alleviates the stress of retirement planning versus 73% of those who don’t invest in TDFs.

Equities are discounted cashflows and they are discounted by the tenure bond yield and they are very much interlinked, says Voya's Barbara Reinhard, who joined Bloomberg Radio to talk about the markets.

Barbara Reinhard, CIO: Multi Asset Strategies & Solutions at Voya Investment Management, discusses how equities are stabilizing as investors weigh rate cuts. 

"...We have been on the risk for this entire year, we thought that equities were going to be able to power a lot of geopolitical risk. We added equities back in April of this year..." says Barbara Reinhard.

Voya Investment Management today announced the launch of its first three actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with two this month and a third in December.
