Dear Shareholder:

 

The past year has brought about numerous changes in the mutual funds industry, including requests for additional disclosures. I would like to draw your attention to some additional information you will now see in the reports due, in part, to these new requirements:

 

                  You will see a new section entitled “Shareholder Expense Examples”. These examples are intended to illustrate for you the ongoing costs of investing in a mutual fund and to provide a method to compare those costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

                  In addition to the normal performance tables included in the Portfolio Managers’ Reports, there are now additional graphical or tabular presentations, which illustrate the current holdings of the funds as of the period-end.

 

                  Each fund now also files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. These Forms are available for shareholders to view on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

We welcome these changes and believe that they will provide valuable information to our shareholders. We hope you will find these additional disclosures beneficial and easy to understand.

 

On behalf of ING Funds, I thank you for your continued support and confidence and look forward to serving you in 2005 and beyond.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

James M. Hennessy
President

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004

 

In our semi-annual report, we referred to sharp swings in sentiment as investors took stock after the handsome gains of 2003. By the middle of the year, the markets had not done much of anything; however, over the next six months sentiment would change twice more and in the end major asset classes posted respectable returns for the year, if not better.

 

Global equities gained 10.8% in the six months ended December 31, 2004, according to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index(1), including net reinvested dividends, and 14.7% for entire year. Nearly one quarter of the annual gain was due to dollar weakness, the main story in the currency markets. The dollar was ahead for most of the year, but by mid October had succumbed to continuing concern over the United States twin budget and trade deficits and whether overseas investors would continue to finance them, raising the nightmare of a disorderly slide in the dollar. In 2004, the euro gained 7.6%, a new record. The yen rose 4.5% to a level not seen since early 2000, while the pound stood 7.4% higher, at a remarkable 12-year peak.

 

Perhaps the most notable feature in investment grade U.S. fixed income markets in the second six months was the curious “curve flattening” trend. Short-term interest rates drifted up as the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) raised the Federal Funds rate four times, by 1% in all, while bond yields ignored this and fell in the face of weak economic data and continued foreign central bank purchases. Contrary to earlier fears, tame inflation was a backdrop throughout, while the influential employment reports were weak in July, August, October and December. On December 15, the spread between the yields on the 10-year Note and the 90-day Treasury Bill fell to a three-year low. For the six months, the yield on 10-year Treasury Notes fell by 40 basis points to 4.22%, but the yield on 13-week Treasury Bills soared 88 basis points to 2.18%. More broadly, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(2) gained 4.18% for the six months. For the whole year, the Index returned 4.34%, underscoring the dominance of the second half in driving market movement, and implying not much underlying price change over the year.

 

Prices rose on riskier asset classes, however, as investors chased more attractive returns than investment grade bonds were offering. The Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index(3) for example, returned a robust 9.64% in the six months through December and 11.13% for the year.

 

U.S. equities in the form of the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(4), rose 7.2% including dividends for the six months ended December 31, 2004, breaching and holding levels not seen since before September 11, 2001. By year end, the market was trading at a price to earnings level of just under 16½  times 2005 estimated earnings. For the entire year, the Index returned 10.88%. From the middle of the year, equity investors were disappointed by the weak employment reports referred to above and distracted by surging oil prices as well as bad news affecting individual stocks. The market reached its lowest point in mid-August. But after oil prices climbed over $56 per barrel on October 22, and then slumped, equities squeezed out a narrow gain for the month in the last few days. In November, oil prices continued their retreat and the market powered ahead, cheered by this, the clear presidential election result, perceived as business and shareholder friendly, and at last a powerful employment report. By month end, sentiment was further bolstered by an upward revision to third quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth to 4%, which was doubtless encouraging. But the data released also showed that the engine of growth, the U.S. consumer, was only saving at the rate of 0.5% per annum, which many regard as unsustainable. In addition, the rate of corporate profits growth was already falling and in 2005 may not reach double digits. It is hard to see then what dynamic propelled the S&P 500 Index to another 3.5% gain in December. And while many commentators celebrated this break out and the fact that smaller-cap indices had by then scaled all-time high levels, others feared a reversal before 2005 was very old.

 

International markets had mixed returns in the second half, but all were inflated in dollar terms by the weakness of that currency. Nonetheless even in local currency terms, Europe’s markets regained mid-2002 levels. Japan equities rose 4.6% in dollar terms during the period, based on the MSCI Japan Index(5) plus net dividends, but fell 1.7% in yen. For the year, Japan returned 15.9% in dollars. First half optimism about

GDP growth was dashed as growth collapsed or was revised down as the year wore on.

 

European excluding (“ex”) UK markets advanced 18.2% in the second half of 2004, according to the MSCI Europe ex UK Index(6) (in dollars including net dividends), about one third due to currency. For all of 2004, the region returned 21.6% in dollars. Profits did grow strongly and markets remain cheap, but given all the issues surrounding low domestic demand, unemployment at 8.9% for the last 20 months and inflexible labor markets, arguably they deserve to be.

 

The UK market returned 15.7% in the six months through December, based on the MSCI UK Index(7) including net dividends, about 40% due to currency. For the whole year, the UK rose 19.6% in dollars. Contrary to the rest of Europe, the Bank of England has been trying to cool consumer demand and a property boom with five interest rate increases in 12 months. They seem to be succeeding for the most part.

ING VP BALANCED PORTFOLIO

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

 

Investment Types*
as of December 31, 2004
(as a percent of net assets)

 

 

*      Excludes other assets and liabilities of -16.3% of net assets and 11.2%
of net assets for short-term investments related to securities lending.

 

Portolio holdings are subject to change daily.

 

The ING VP Balanced Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize investment return consistent with reasonable safety of principal, by investing in a diversified portfolio of one or more of the following asset classes: stocks, bonds and cash equivalents. The Portfolio is managed by a team of equity investment specialists led by Hugh T.M. Whelan, Portfolio Manager, and James B. Kauffmann, Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 9.42% compared to 10.88% for the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(1), 4.34% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond (“LBAB”) Index(2) and 8.30% for the Composite Index (60% S&P 500/40% LBAB).

 

Portfolio Specifics: The equity component of the Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Index due to security selection as well as our usual, modest exposure to small- and mid-cap stocks, which outperformed large-cap stocks as a group. Stock selection was strongest in the health care and technology sectors but was weaker in consumer staples and industrials. Sector allocation had a positive impact, with gains from overweights in energy and industrials and an underweight in consumer staples only partially offset by losses from an overweight in technology and an underweight in financials. The Portfolio benefited in particular from overweight positions in TXU Corp., Apple Computer, Inc. and Aetna, Inc., which returned 178%, 201%, and 85%, respectively, for the year. Securities that detracted from results were AT&T Wireless, which we did not own, rose 87%, and Walgreen Co. and Paychex, Inc., two stocks we overweighted and previously held that turned in disappointing results of 6% and -7%, respectively.

 

The fixed income component of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index during the period as a short duration posture and yield curve exposure proved beneficial. For most of the year, we were well positioned for a rising rate environment in which the yields on shorter maturities rise more than those of longer maturities. Our underweight in five-year maturities was particularly helpful. Nevertheless, we brought the fixed income component back to a neutral duration stance as the year came to a close. Overweights in the outperforming securitized sectors — mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities — also enhanced performance. We maintained our increased allocation to credit, and this sector posted the highest excess returns during the period. Exposure to high yield and emerging markets debt were also significant sources of outperformance.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Our outlook for 2005 is positive for equities. We believe inflation should continue to be benign and oil prices should continue to moderate early in 2005. The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) is likely to continue to raise short-term interest rates, while leaving itself latitude to pause. Earnings are still rising, although at a slower pace in 2005. We expect to see job creation pick up after the impacts of higher oil prices percolate through the economy. Given all these economic factors, gross domestic product is likely to decelerate over the next few months to a trend-like growth rate in 2005. Despite increases to the Fed funds rate, longer-term fixed income issues have shown resilience through this period. Looking to 2005, however, we do project rising longer-term rates for the bond market.

 

The equity portfolio is overweight in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors and underweight in the information technology and financials sectors. However, our overall sector exposures are by design quite close to the S&P 500 Index so that nearly all of our relative performance is driven by individual stock selection.

 

Tactically, the fixed income portfolio was neutral duration as the year came to a close; however, we continue to believe that the improving domestic economy, signs of increasing inflation, and enduring dollar weakness point to higher rates in the near future. We are neutral home mortgages, overweight asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities, and underweight the intermediate and front ends of the yield curve, which appear most vulnerable in a tightening cycle. We are also underweight agencies, which had witnessed intense regulatory criticism. While stretched valuations in investment-grade credit still warrant caution, credit continues to post positive excess returns, and we have moved closer to neutral credit on a contribution-to-duration basis. Exposures to emerging markets debt and crossover high yield remain intact.

The ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock. The Portfolio is managed by a team of equity investment specialists led by Christopher F. Corapi, Portfolio Manager and Director of Fundamental Equity Research, and Scott Lewis, Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 8.39% compared to the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(1), which returned 10.88% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio modestly underperformed the S&P 500 Index benchmark during 2004, but it should be noted that a new investment team took over the management of the Portfolio in May of 2004. While there were areas of both strength and weakness with respect to sector allocation and stock selection, poor stock selection in the technology sector was by far the most negative factor impacting full year performance. The Portfolio was slightly overweighted in the poorly performing technology sector during most of the year and relatively poor stock selection caused further negative impact. The stock positions that detracted from performance included Cisco Systems, Inc., Intel Corp., as well as previously held Hewlett Packard Co., Siebel Systems, Inc. and JDS Uniphase Corp. On the other hand, many stocks contributed to performance across many different sectors such as Aetna, Inc. and Countrywide Financial Corp. in the financial sector, Altria Group, Inc. in consumer staples, Exxon Mobil Corp. in energy and Motorola, Inc. in technology.

 

Entering 2005, the technology sector remains the most relatively overweighted sector while consumer staples remains the most relatively underweighted versus the benchmark. Overall, the Portfolio is positioned to benefit from those areas where we believe that valuation is attractive, above average earnings growth is forecast and our investment team has a high level of conviction with respect to future price performance. Presently, the three largest sector weightings in the Portfolio are the consumer discretionary, health care and technology sectors.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Despite the strong market advance during the final quarter of 2004, we continue to believe that the markets are moderately attractive. While we expect that interest rates and inflation will rise gradually as 2005 progresses, improving corporate profits, lower energy prices, and reasonable equity valuations all suggest that positive stock market returns are likely this year. During the past several years, value stocks have generally provided better returns than growth stocks, while small capitalization stocks have consistently outperformed their larger cap brethren. Looking ahead, we continue to believe that these areas should generate positive returns; however, we think that portfolios should be gradually tilted toward larger cap and growth oriented names.

The ING VP Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks growth of capital through investment in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks believed to offer growth potential. The Portfolio is managed by a team of equity investment specialists led by Kenneth Bragdon, Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 7.19% compared to the Russell 1000 Growth Index(1), which returned 6.30% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio benefited from strong stock selection in the “other” (multi-industry) and health care sectors. In addition, positive stock and sector selection due to an overweight position in the energy sector added to relative returns. In the multi-industry sector, Tyco Intl. Ltd. outperformed the market due to the global economic upturn. In addition, the company began to reap the benefits of the restructuring initiated by its new management. Within health care, Gilead Sciences, Inc. and DaVita, Inc. contributed most to relative returns. Gilead’s AIDS drug franchise grew quite strongly in 2004 aided by its new drug Truvada. DaVita gained after announcing their intention to purchase Gambro Healthcare’s dialysis assets. This pending announcement is expected to have material earnings accretion. In the energy sector, Halliburton Co. and Transocean, Inc. benefited from strong commodity prices and the increased demand for oil services and equipment.

 

The financial services and technology sectors detracted from relative returns. American Intl. Group, Inc. sold off following the widespread investigation into the selling and commission practices of the property and casualty insurance industry. This was partially offset by the absence of insurance brokerage holdings in the portfolio. Capital market sensitive companies, such as previously held Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch & Co., underperformed on weak trading results. The outlook for Countrywide Financial Corp., which was previously held, was disappointing following the release of third-quarter earnings due to a slowdown in mortgage activity. Within the technology sector, bellwether Cisco Systems, Inc. was the largest detractor from results. Weak pricing and rising inventories raised concerns that demand forecasts for the company were too optimistic. Similar factors lead to the negative contribution of Intel Corp and Sandisk Corp., which was held during the period.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: The beginning of 2005 has seen lessened political and energy concerns in the U.S., which should allow the market to focus on other factors. We expect the expansion phase of the economic recovery to continue unabated in the near term. This should be accompanied by increased pricing power and corporate profit growth. Barring significantly higher inflation expectations, or a surprisingly weak dollar, large-capitalization growth stocks should perform relatively well, in our view. In addition, we would expect the performance gap between large- and small-capitalization stocks to narrow if not reverse at some point in the future. In that environment, we will continue to invest the portfolio in companies that are demonstrating positive underlying fundamentals at reasonable prices to seek positive results.

The ING VP Small Company Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks of companies with smaller market capitalizations. The Portfolio is managed by a team of equity investment specialists led by Carolie Burroughs, Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 14.39% compared to the Russell 2000 Index(1), which returned 18.33% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: Sector rotation prevailed in the market, as investors flocked to or fled from groups of stocks based on underlying macro trends — oil prices, commodity prices, and chip prices (semiconductors); dividend yields and cash flow yields; interest rates and cap rates; and even the outcome of the presidential election. Our stock selection in the producer durables and utilities sectors contributed positively to the Portfolio’s performance. Stock selection in the consumer staples and health care sectors contributed negatively. The largest individual positive contributors to performance during the period were Southwestern Energy Co., Louisiana Pacific Corp., and Terex Corp. The most disappointing holdings were Lexar Media, Inc., which was held during the period, Knight Trading Group, Inc., and Cumulus Media, Inc. Our underweight position in health care contributed positively to the Portfolio’s performance, while our 2 - 4% average cash position in a rising market was a drag on returns.

 

During the year, we moved from an underweight position in the autos and transportation sector to a slight overweight. We trimmed back to a market weight position at the end of the year as this sector rose almost 20% during the fourth quarter. In the energy and financial services sectors, we added stocks that are less impacted by the direction of oil prices and interest rates, respectively. We reduced our position in the technology sector by more than 200 basis points, effectively emphasizing the more defensive technology stocks. Toward the end of the period, we trimmed our exposure in producer durables, our best performing sector, as investors began to take profits. We continued to maintain the plus or minus 5% over- or underweighting limit for all of our sector weights and a style neutral position to mitigate harm caused by market swings.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: We are encouraged by the economic data presented in 2004, and expect the U.S. economy to continue its gradual pace of expansion in 2005. Although we expect the U.S. equities market to finish 2005 in positive territory, we anticipate a rocky first half. We expect ongoing sector rotation, especially if the Federal Reserve voices greater concern over inflation. We also anticipate further shifts in asset allocation, which may cause the smaller capitalization benchmarks to underperform, despite improving fundamentals. However, this will likely set the stage for the second half of 2005, during which we expect the market to reward those stocks with stronger fundamentals.

 

We expect the small-cap cycle to complete its final phase. First of all, multiples of smaller capitalization stocks relative to large-cap stocks are still below historical averages, yet forward earnings expectations for large-cap stocks are only at a slight discount to those for small-cap stocks. Although productivity gains and a weak dollar have contributed to near-term profitability for large-cap stocks, in the long run, expectations for large-cap stocks are still too high. Second, access to capital for small-cap stocks has improved, particularly in the convertible debt and high yield markets. Growth in commercial lending by the banking industry benefits smaller companies. Finally, merger and acquisition activity remains strong. On a price-to-cash basis, large-cap companies still trump their smaller capitalization counterparts. We expect consolidation to continue with most deals continuing to occur in the small-cap space.

 

Looking forward, we are optimistic on the economic recovery and U.S. equities market. Whatever challenges the market presents in the short term, we continue to follow our discipline and focus on stocks that have the best fundamentals to outperform over the long run. We believe the Portfolio is well positioned to benefit as the small-cap cycle continues to move up the market cap spectrum and better quality stocks begin to consistently outperform.

ING VP VALUE OPPORTUNITY PORTFOLIO

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

 

Industry Allocation
as of December 31, 2004
(as a percent of net assets)

 

 

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

 

The ING VP Value Opportunity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock. The Portfolio is managed by a team of equity investment specialists led by William F. Coughlin, Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 10.15% compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index(1) and the Russell 1000 Index(2), which returned 16.49% and 11.40%, respectively, for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The investment team focuses on high quality companies selling at low price to earnings multiples. The Portfolio is well diversified, with exposure to all the major economic sectors and remains sensitive to the sector weighting of its Russell 1000 Value Index benchmark. During 2004, both sector allocation and stock selection combined to cause the Portfolio to underperform its benchmark. The Portfolio underperformed the benchmark’s return in all sectors. The worst performing stock was Koninklijke Philips Electronics NV. The Portfolio’s largest sector exposure was a 31.1% average weighting in financial services, somewhat below the 34.0% benchmark weighting. While this underweighting had a reasonably neutral allocation impact on results, the poor price performance of the Portfolio’s financial services positions, especially American Intl. Group, Inc. and Fannie Mae, had a decidedly more negative overall effect. The health care sector also negatively impacted overall results from both a sector allocation and stock selection perspective as overweighting this poorly performing sector severely reduced the sector allocation contribution, while several positions, including previously held Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Merck & Co., as well as Pfizer, Inc., all suffered price declines in 2004. This had a negative impact on Portfolio results. The strongest contribution from sector allocation was the result of overweighting the energy sector, but while the Portfolio’s stocks performed very well as a group (+26.0%), this was below the benchmark energy sector return of 30.6%. Several stocks in this sector were particularly strong, including Exxon Mobil Corp., ChevronTexaco Corp. and Halliburton Co. Overall, this sector was a positive contributor from a sector allocation perspective, but negative when considering specific stock selection.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Despite the strong market advance during the final quarter of 2004, we continue to believe that the markets are moderately attractive. While we expect that interest rates and inflation will rise gradually as 2005 progresses, improving corporate profits, lower energy prices, and reasonable equity valuations all suggest that positive stock market returns are likely this year. During the past several years, value stocks have generally provided better returns than growth stocks, while small capitalization has consistently outperformed larger cap stocks. Looking ahead, we continue to believe that these areas should generate positive returns; however, we think that portfolios should be gradually tilted toward larger cap, growth-oriented names.

*  Excludes other assets and liabilities of -14.5% of net assets.

The ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio (formerly, ING VP Bond Portfolio, the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize total return consistent with reasonable risk by investing in investment-grade corporate bonds and debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. While the Portfolio invests in securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government as to timely payment of interest and principal, the Portfolio shares are not insured or guaranteed. The Portfolio is managed primarily by James B. Kauffmann, Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 4.88% compared to 4.34% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond (LBAB) Index(1).

 

Portfolio Specifics: Throughout the year ended December 31, 2004, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) was true to its oft-stated “measured pace” guidance, with 25 basis points moves starting in June. The Committee continues to focus on developing economic releases, which will influence the timing and size of future tightenings. Yields on shorter-term Treasuries moved higher, while those of 10- and 30-year bonds dropped. In fact, the benchmark 10-year bond closed at 4.22%, despite being as high as 4.50%. The growth in employment lagged past recoveries even as domestic economic news brightened. The dollar dropped against most major currencies, and oil and gold headed higher. Concerns about the twin U. S. deficits continue to vex the currency markets, and the re-election of George Bush has done little to allay fears of the burgeoning costs of social security and Medicare.

 

Performance benefited during the period from a short duration posture and yield curve exposure. For most of the year, the Portfolio was well positioned for a rising rate environment in which yields on shorter maturities rise more than those of longer maturities. Our underweight in five-year maturities was particularly helpful. Nevertheless, we brought the Portfolio back to a neutral duration stance as the year came to a close. Overweights in the outperforming securitized sectors — mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities — also helped. We maintained our increased allocation to credit, and this sector posted the highest excess returns during the period. Exposure to high yield and emerging markets debt also contributed positively to performance.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: While the bond market has renewed its focus on the improving economic releases, we do not believe that the yields on shorter maturity Treasuries fully reflect the pace of economic activity nor likely Federal Reserve tightenings. Some projections place a neutral overnight rate around 4% or 5%, indicating that monetary policy is still highly accommodative.

 

Tactically, the Portfolio was neutral duration as the year came to a close; however, we continue to believe that the improving domestic economy, signs of increasing inflation and enduring dollar weakness point to higher rates in the near future. We are neutral home mortgages, overweight asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities, and underweight the intermediate and front ends of the yield curve, which appear most vulnerable in a tightening cycle. We are also underweight agencies, which have witnessed intense regulatory criticism. While stretched valuations in investment-grade credit still warrant caution, credit continues to post positive excess returns, and we have moved closer to neutral credit on a contribution-to-duration basis. Exposures to emerging markets debt and crossover high yield remain intact.

The ING VP Money Market Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide high current return, consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, through investment in high-quality money market instruments. The Portfolio is managed by a team of fixed-income specialists led by David S. Yealy, Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Portfolio Specifics: The market for money market securities as represented by the LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) curve started the year pricing in very modest expectations for the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) to start raising the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) funds rate and discount rate in the later part of the year. Our strategy of maintaining a slightly long weighted average maturity and barbell structure early in the year enhanced the yield for the Portfolio.

 

The non-farm payroll numbers released in early April indicated an improving labor market. The improvement in the labor market was confirmed by the early May non-farm payroll data release. The markets quickly started to anticipate that the FOMC might act sooner and more aggressively than previously expected. The LIBOR one-month to twelve-month curve steepened to over 100 basis points by mid-June from only 34 basis points at the beginning of the year.

 

We restructured the Portfolio in May by reducing our holdings of longer maturity securities, shortening the weighted average maturity, eliminating the barbell, increasing our holding of interest sensitive floating rate securities and shifting new purchases to very short maturity securities. This strategy shift worked well during the second half of the year as the FOMC raised the Fed funds rate by 25 basis points five times starting at the end of June. The Fed funds rate ended the year at 2.25% up from 1.00% at the start of the year.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: The market as of the end of December was building in significant additional rate increases for 2005. The consensus expectation is for the Fed funds rate to be at 3.50% at the end of 2005. Our strategy heading into 2005 is similar to that employed since May of 2004. We are continuing to focus new purchases to the next FOMC meeting, maintaining a high exposure to floating rate notes, and making selective purchases in the three-month and under maturity sector where yield levels fully price in 25 basis point increases at each of the Fed meetings in between the purchase date and the maturity date. To the extent that the markets start to price in a more aggressive Fed, we are prepared to extend the weighted average maturity of the Portfolio by purchasing longer maturity corporate securities in the nine-month to thirteen-month sector. We will maintain a weighted average maturity shorter than the majority of our competitors until that time.

The ING VP Global Science and Technology Portfolio (the ‘‘Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities issued by science and technology companies in all market capitalization ranges. The Portfolio is managed by Thomas P. Callan, CFA, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, and Daniel M. Rea, Vice President and Portfolio Manager, BlackRock Advisors, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio provided a total return of -1.29% compared to 10.88% for the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index(1) and 12.09% for the Pacific Stock Exchange (“PSE”) Technology Index(2).

 

Portfolio Specifics: For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark. During the first half of the year, investors became concerned about the sustainability of the recovery of capital spending on information technology. During the third quarter, negative earnings guidance from software companies fed these persistent concerns, and it appeared that excess inventories were building throughout the entire technology sector. Wall Street reaction to this news was negative, and analysts following these companies lowered their expectations. This trend temporarily reversed in the fourth quarter as investors took advantage of more reasonable valuations. Healthcare sector performance was generally driven by capital flows into companies with greater revenue and earnings visibility. As a result, medical device companies outperformed biotechnology companies. Overall, information technology and healthcare stocks were the two worst performing sectors of the S&P 500 Index during the period.

 

During the year, the Portfolio had less exposure to information technology and healthcare stocks than the benchmark while having heavier exposure to telecommunication services companies. When BlackRock took responsibility for the Portfolio at the beginning of the year, the prior Sub-adviser’s sector allocations tilted the Portfolio toward companies with cyclical earnings growth, especially semiconductor devices. This sub-industry encountered challenging supply/demand dynamics, and caused much of the Portfolio’s underperformance early in the period. Over time, we moderated this exposure as the Portfolio’s mandate evolved to include a broader group of investment opportunities.

 

The primary sources of underperformance during the year were an underweight in computer hardware combined with negative stock selection and an overweight position in semiconductor devices. In the computer hardware space, lack of exposure to Apple Computer, Inc. and NCR Corp. were the key detractors. In the semiconductors sector, a meaningful overweight to the relatively weak devices sub-industry and poor performance tied to company-specific inventory issues negatively impacted returns. In the healthcare sector, capitalization had a meaningful effect on relative performance as the larger-capitalization biotechnology companies in the benchmark outperformed the smaller companies held by the Portfolio.

 

On the positive side, relative value was added in wireless telecommunication services, systems software, and Internet retail stocks. Wireless telecom companies levered to improving economies in Russia, Turkey and Indonesia outperformed as subscriber growth and utilization remained robust. In the software group, opportunistic purchases of Veritas Software Corp. and BMC Software, Inc., added value. Finally, category-dominant Internet companies such as eBay, Inc, benefited from increasing on-line traffic and transaction volumes as well as an acceleration in on-line advertising and gained significantly during the period as a result.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: Despite the prospects for rising short-term interest rates, we believe low interest rates and high corporate cash balances may support additional capital spending. As a result, we maintain a favorable outlook on the technology sector, despite the recent weakness. In fact, we believe this gives us the opportunity to increase our exposure to select segments of the market, as some valuations have become attractive.

(as a percent of net assets)

 

 

Portolio holdings are subject to change daily.

 

The ING VP International Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital growth primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks principally traded in countries outside of the United States. The Portfolio is managed by a team of equity investment specialists led by Martin Jansen, Portfolio Manager, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

 

Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 17.17% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index(1), which returned 20.70% for the same period.

 

Portfolio Specifics: In a continuation of the trends manifest in 2003, larger capitalization issues and the growth segment of the investment spectrum performed considerably weaker than the MSCI EAFE Index average. Our “growth at a reasonable price” investment philosophy, with its modest accent on growth and quality, consequently experienced a constant headwind during the year ended December 31, 2004. This was most prevalent in the period through mid-February, after which markets turned more cautious and were more inclined to focus on the integral growth/valuation relationship, which is the core of our investment process.

 

By design, our process allows for only modest regional over- or under-weightings. Within this context, our regional allocation result for the year was negative, due largely to our underweight in the strongly performing Developed Asia region and the opportunity cost of holding residual cash in a rising market. The bulk of the performance shortfall was attributable to stock selection in Europe and Developed Asia (excluding Japan). Sector positioning (excluding cash) added modest value, with the successful decisions to underweight a weak technology sector and overweight the strong energy sector. However, this was somewhat offset by an underweight position in consumer staples, which performed relatively strongly in the first part of the year.

 

Within sectors, stock selection proved most disappointing in the consumer discretionary, information technology, industrials and health care sectors. This was partly offset by positive contributions from our holdings in the materials, financials and telecommunication services sectors. At the security level, the worst performers were French technology services company Capgemini, which fell on substantially reduced earnings prospects, and Nokia Oyj, which had disappointing performance due to negative business trends. The most significant positive contribution came from our holdings in the Shell Transport & Trading Co. PLC and Japanese banks Mitsui Trust Holdings, Inc. and Sumitomo Trust & Banking Co., Ltd. The Portfolio also benefited from positions in Telecom Italia S.p.A. and France Telecom SA.

 

Current Strategy and Outlook: After strong recovery growth in 2003 and the first half of 2004, earnings growth in international markets is expected to decline to approximately 10% in 2005. With international markets in aggregate still undervalued, this would allow for further, albeit more modest, market gains. Given this expectation, our process indicates that stocks with relative earnings sustainability and visibility, which are trading at the low end of their historic premium range, are attractive. We maintain a modest positive exposure to Japan as we expect earnings growth here to exceed expectations, especially in the domestically oriented consumer discretionary sector. A small allocation was made to emerging market securities recently, as there are selective opportunities for above average growth trading at a discount to peers in the developed markets. Our largest active exposure remains the energy sector, which in our opinion remains undervalued. In the defensive growth segment, we prefer healthcare to consumer staples, which have less pricing power and increasing cost pressures. We are underweight in the information technology and industrial sectors.

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution [and/or service] (12b–1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first section of the table shown, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second section of the table shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned portfolios as of December 31, 2004, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2004

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

 

Organization. The ING Variable Product Funds are comprised of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc., ING Variable Funds d/b/a ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio, ING Variable Portfolios, Inc., ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio and ING VP Money Market Portfolio, all of which are open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc. (“Balanced”) is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on December 14, 1988. ING Variable Funds is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio (“Growth and Income”). ING Variable Portfolios, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on June 4, 1996 and has eight separate portfolios. The five portfolios that are in this report are: ING VP Growth Portfolio (“Growth”), ING VP Small Company Portfolio (“Small Company”), ING VP Value Opportunity Portfolio (“Value Opportunity”), ING VP Global Science and Technology (“Global Science and Technology”) and ING VP International Equity Portfolio (“International”). ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio (“Intermediate Bond”, formerly, ING VP Bond Portfolio). ING VP Money Market Portfolio is a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Money Market Portfolio (“Money Market”).

 

Each Portfolio offers Class I shares. Balanced, Growth and Income, Growth, Small Company, Value Opportunity, Intermediate Bond, Global Science and Technology and International also offer Class S shares. The two classes differ principally in applicable distribution and service fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Portfolios and earn income and realized gains/losses from the Portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without discrimination between share classes. No class has preferential dividend rights. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the relative weighting of pro rata income and realized gain allocations and from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, and shareholder servicing fees.

 

ING Investments, LLC (“ING Investments’’ or the ”Investment Manager”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the Investment Manager to the Portfolios. ING Investments has engaged ING Investment Management Co. (“ING IM’’), a Connecticut corporation, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to each Portfolio, with the exception of the Global Science and Technology Portfolio. ING Funds Distributor, LLC (the ”Distributor”) is the principal underwriter of the Portfolios. ING Investments, ING IM and the Distributor are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”). ING Groep is a global financial institution active in the fields of banking, insurance and asset management.

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Such policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.

 

A.           Security Valuation. Investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale and securities traded in the over-the-counter-market are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at that time. Debt securities are valued at prices obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers making markets in the securities and may be adjusted based on the Portfolios’ valuation procedures. U.S. Government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics.

 

Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (which may include certain restricted securities, which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Portfolios’ Board of Directors (“Board”), in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board.

 

Securities traded on exchanges, including foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that a Portfolio calculates its net asset value may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Portfolio’s Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. If a

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

significant event which is likely to impact the value of one or more foreign securities held by a Portfolio occurs after the time at which the foreign market for such security(ies) closes but before the time that the Portfolio’s net asset value is calculated on any business day, such event may be taken into account in determining the fair value of such security(ies) at the time the Portfolio calculates its net asset value. For these purposes, significant events after the close of trading on a foreign market may include, among others, securities trading in the U.S. and other markets, corporate announcements, natural and other disasters, and political and other events. Among other elements of analysis, the Board has authorized the use of one or more research services to assist with the determination of the fair value of foreign securities. Research services use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Portfolio calculates its net asset value. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment, and the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that a Portfolio could obtain if it were to sell the security at the time of the close of the NYSE. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less at the date of valuation are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.

 

B.             Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.

 

C.             Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(1)          Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day.

 

(2)          Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Portfolios do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

 

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. Government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments, which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. Government securities.

 

D.            Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. When entering into a currency forward contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. The Portfolios either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

 

45


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2004 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

Each Portfolio, with the exception of Money Market, may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margins and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

 

E.              Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Balanced, Growth, Small Company, Value Opportunity, Money Market and Global Science and Technology Portfolios declare and pay dividends annually. Growth and Income and Intermediate Bond Portfolios declare and pay dividends semi-annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.

 

F.              Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Portfolios to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to requlated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired.

 

G.             Use of Estimates. Management of the Portfolios has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

H.            Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Portfolio will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by the Portfolio. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. If the seller defaults, a Portfolio might incur a loss or delay in the realization of proceeds if the value of the security collateralizing the repurchase agreement declines, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.

 

I.                 Securities Lending. Each Portfolio has the option to temporarily loan up to 30% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. Government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to the Portfolio in the event the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Portfolio.

 

J.                Illiquid and Restricted Securities. The Portfolios may not invest more than 15% (10% for Money Market) of their net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are not readily marketable.

 

46


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2004 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Disposing of illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for the Portfolios to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. The Portfolios may also invest in restricted securities, which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Certain restricted securities may be considered liquid pursuant to guidelines approved by the Board or may be deemed to be illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. Illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures approved by the Board.

 

K.            Delayed Delivery Transactions. Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market value of such is identified in the Portfolios’ Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Portfolios are required to hold liquid assets as collateral with the Portfolios’ custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.

 

L.              Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. In connection with a portfolio’s ability to purchase or sell securities on a when-issued basis, Balanced, Growth and Income, Intermediate Bond and Money Market Portfolios may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In a dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker/dealer, and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon, and maturity) security from the institution on a delayed delivery basis at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. The Portfolios account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales.

 

M.         Options Contracts. Each Portfolio, with the exception of Money Market, may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Portfolios may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Portfolios will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a call option is that the Portfolios give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Portfolios may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Portfolios pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.

 

N.            Swap Contracts. Each Portfolio, with the exception of Money Market, may enter into interest rate swaps, currency swaps and other types of swap agreements, including swaps on securities and indices. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other on regularly scheduled dates over a stated term, based on different interest rates, currency exchange rates, security prices, the prices or rates of other types of financial instruments or assets or the levels of specified indices. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT

 

The Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, have entered into an unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement “) with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A. for an aggregate amount of $100,000,000. The proceeds may be used only to: (1) temporarily finance the purchase and sale of securities; (2) finance the redemption of shares of an investor in the funds; and (3) enable the funds to meet other emergency expenses as defined in the Credit Agreement. The funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.09% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount. Each of the Portfolios will pay its pro rata share of both the agent and commitment fee. Generally, borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 30 days after the date of a revolving credit advance. The following Portfolios utilized the line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2004:

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING

 

Under an agreement with The Bank of New York (“BNY”), the Portfolios can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. Government securities. The collateral must be in an amount equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolios have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security, however there would be a potential loss to the Portfolios in the event the Portfolios are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. The Portfolios bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Portfolio. At December 31, 2004, the Portfolios had securities on loan with the following market values:

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of available earnings and profits, current and accumulated, for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

 

The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2004:

 

 

 

Paid-in
Capital

 

Undistributed
Net Investment
Income On
Investments

 

Accumulated
Net Realized

NOTE 13 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS

 

ING Investments, LLC (“Investments”), the adviser to the ING Funds, has reported to the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. Investments has advised the Board that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.

 

In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING’s variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Board.

 

Investments has advised the Board that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated. Based on the internal review, Investments has advised the Board that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2004 (CONTINUED)

 

NOTE 13 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)

 

More specifically, Investments reported to the Board that, at this time, these instances include the following:

 

                  ING has identified three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD”) has received a notice from the staff of the NASD informing IFD that it has made a preliminary determination to recommend that disciplinary action be brought against IFD and one of its registered persons for violations of the NASD Conduct Rules and certain provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with these arrangements.

 

                  Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) has identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.

 

                  ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.

 

                  In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.

 

For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 9, 2004. These Forms 8-K can be accessed through the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Board are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds. Investments reported to the Board that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance.

 

Accordingly, Investments advised the Board that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, Investments reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.

 

                  ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.

 

                  ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.

 

                  The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.

 

                  ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.

 

                  ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance.

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY

 

I.                                         Statement of Principles

 

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or Trustees (the “Committee”) of the ING Funds (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”) set out under Paragraph I on Exhibit A to this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (“Policy”) is responsible for the oversight of the work of the Funds’ independent auditors.  As part of its responsibilities, the Committee must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the auditors in order to assure that the provision of these services does not impair the auditors’ independence from the Funds.  The Committee has adopted, and the Board has ratified, this Policy, which sets out the procedures and conditions under which the services of the independent auditors may be pre-approved.

 

Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules promulgated in accordance with the Act, the Funds’ may establish two different approaches to pre-approving audit and non-audit services.  The Committee may approve services without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approval”) or it may pre-approve specific services (“specific pre-approval”).  The Committee believes that the combination of these approaches contemplated in this Policy results in an effective and efficient method for pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Funds’ independent auditors.  Under this Policy, services that are not of a type that may receive general pre-approval require specific pre-approval by the Committee.  Any proposed services that exceed pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require the Committee’s specific pre-approval.

 

For both types of approval, the Committee considers whether the subject services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and that such services are compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.  The Committee also considers whether a particular audit firm is in the best position to provide effective and efficient services to the Funds.  Reasons that the auditors are in the best position include the auditors’ familiarity with the Funds’ business, personnel, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the services will enhance the Funds’ ability to manage and control risk or improve audit quality.  Such factors will be considered as a whole, with no one factor being determinative.

 

The appendices attached to this Policy describe the audit, audit-related, tax-related, and other services that have the Committee’s general pre-approval.  For any service that has been approved through general pre-approval, the general pre-approval will remain in place for a period 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate.  The Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditors without specific pre-approval.  The Committee will revise the list of services subject to general pre-approval as appropriate.  This Policy does not serve as a delegation to Fund management of the Committee’s duty to pre-approve services performed by the Funds’ independent auditors.

II.                                     Audit Services

 

The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the Committee’s specific pre-approval.  Audit services are those services that are normally provided by auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements or those that generally only independent auditors can reasonably provide.  They include the Funds’ annual financial statement audit and procedures that the independent auditors must perform in order to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements (e.g., information systems and procedural reviews and testing).  The Committee will monitor the audit services engagement and approve any changes in terms, conditions or fees deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate.

 

The Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services, such as statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or issued in connection with securities offerings.

 

The Committee has pre-approved the audit services listed on Appendix A.  The Committee must specifically approve all audit services not listed on Appendix A.

 

III.                                 Audit-related Services

 

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or the review of the Funds’ financial statements or are traditionally performed by the independent auditors.  The Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services will not impair the independent auditors’ independence, and therefore may grant pre-approval to audit-related services.  Audit-related services include accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services;” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures relating to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR.

 

The Committee has pre-approved the audit-related services listed on Appendix B.  The Committee must specifically approve all audit-related services not listed on Appendix B.

 

IV.                                Tax Services

 

The Committee believes the independent auditors can provide tax services to the Funds, including tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, without compromising the auditors’ independence.  Therefore, the Committee may grant general pre-approval with respect to tax services historically provided by the Funds’ independent auditors that do not, in the Committee’s view, impair auditor independence and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

 

The Committee will not grant pre-approval if the independent auditors initially recommends a transaction the sole business purpose of which is tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.  The Committee may consult

outside counsel to determine that tax planning and reporting positions are consistent with this Policy.

 

The Committee has pre-approved the tax-related services listed on Appendix C.  The Committee must specifically approve all tax-related services not listed on Appendix C.

 

V.                                    Other Services

 

The Committee believes it may grant approval of non-audit services that are permissible services for independent auditors to a Fund.  The Committee has determined to grant general pre-approval to other services that it believes are routine and recurring, do not impair auditor independence, and are consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence.

 

The Committee has pre-approved the non-audit services listed on Appendix D.  The Committee must specifically approve all non-audit services not listed on Appendix D.

 

A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this Policy as Appendix E.  The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these impermissible services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the SEC’s prohibitions.

 

VI.                                Pre-approval of Fee levels and Budgeted Amounts

 

The Committee will annually establish pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for audit, audit-related, tax and non-audit services to be provided to the Funds by the independent auditors.  Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts require the Committee’s specific pre-approval.  The Committee considers fees for audit and non-audit services when deciding whether to pre-approve services.  The Committee may determine, for a pre-approval period of 12 months, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for the Fund’s audit, audit-related, and tax services (including fees for services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services for the Fund classified as other services (including any such services provided to Fund affiliates that are subject to pre-approval).

 

VII.                            Procedures

 

Requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditors will be submitted to management.  If management determines that the services do not fall within those services generally pre-approved by the Committee and set out in the appendices to these procedures, management will submit the services to the Committee or its delagee.  Any such submission will include a detailed description of the services to be rendered.

 

Notwithstanding this paragraph, the Committee will, on quarterly basis, receive from the independent auditors a list of services provided to date by the auditors during Pre-Approval Period.

VIII.                        Delegation

 

The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of the Committee’s members.  Any member or members to whom such pre-approval authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions, including any pre-approved services, to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting.  The Committee will identify any member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated in writing.  The member will retain such authority for a period of 12 months from the date of pre-approval unless the Committee determines that a different period is appropriate.  The period of delegated authority may be terminated by the Committee or at the option of the member.

 

IX.                                Additional Requirements

 

The Committee will take any measures the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to oversee the work of the independent auditors and to assure the auditors’ independence from the Funds.  This may include reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditors delineating all relationships between the auditors and the Funds, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the auditors their methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
