PRESIDENT’S LETTER

(PHOTO OF SHAUN P. MATHEWS)

Dear Shareholder,

It is impossible to discuss the current market climate without acknowledging the recent turmoil brought on by problems in the sub-prime mortgage market. Clearly the excesses in this sector of the market and other segments of collateralized debt have created challenges throughout credit markets worldwide.

Amidst the volatility, we at ING Funds remind our shareholders that the creditworthiness and quality of our funds’ holdings is the ultimate priority to us — whether those holdings are part of our money market funds, fixed income funds or equity funds. Market volatility is an often present component of investing and we believe the best way to manage through turbulent environments is to build a well-balanced, fully-diversified portfolio, which aligns with your goals and risk tolerance.

ING Funds remains committed to developing and offering a diverse array of mutual funds designed to meet the goals of most investors. We urge you to work with your investment professional to make sure you are invested appropriately. Together, you can select the funds that will help you achieve your financial goals. We thank you for choosing ING Funds and look forward to continuing to serve you.

Sincerely,

(-s- Shaun P. Mathews)

MARKET PERSPECTIVE:      YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2007

In our semi-annual report, we described global equities in the form of the Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM(1) (“MSCI World IndexSM”) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends (“MSCI” for regions discussed below) reeling from a sharp correction in the China market before recovering by the end of April 2007. Nervous optimism continued on into the summer when a credit crisis sent investors fleeing stock markets, before Federal Reserve rate cuts provided some solace. For the six month period ended April 30, 2007 and for the year ended October 31, 2007, the MSCI World IndexSM returned 4.3% and 20.39%, respectively. In currencies the view that European interest rates were on the way up while those in the U.S. were not, supported the pound and euro, while the yen continued to be dragged down by the “carry trade”, in which speculators borrow in yen at low interest and buy higher yielding securities in other currencies. But in the flight from risk, these trades were unwound and the yen rebounded. In the six month period ended October 31, 2007, the dollar fell 5.2%, 3.2% and 4.2% against the euro (making repeated new lows), pound and yen, respectively.

By April 2007, the recession in the housing market had taken a new disturbing turn, as lax lending standards especially in the sub-prime mortgage loan sector were sending foreclosure rates and default provisions soaring, and some lenders into bankruptcy. Furthermore, the huge volumes of securities backed by such loans were declining in value, if they could find a bid at all. Much of this exposure was held by hedge funds and structured investment vehicles, which financed their purchases with investors’ money and by issuing lower yielding short term commercial paper, a variant of the carry trade. In June 2007, the investment bank, Bear Stearns, had to step in to rescue two of its hedge funds in distress over holdings in mortgage bonds.

So far, few observers believed that sub-prime mortgage problems might lead to recession. But from mid-July 2007 a series of shocks sent investors scurrying for cover. A large mortgage lender, Countrywide, reported that the sub-prime default crisis had spread to other classes of mortgage loans. Worse, by month end, American Home Mortgage revealed that its creditors had initiated margin calls and that bankruptcy was a possibility. A week later it was fact.

Confirmation that the global asset-backed commercial paper market was close to atrophy came on August 9, 2007 from an unlikely source when French bank BNP Paribas announced similar problems with its own U.S. mortgage-backed structured investment vehicles. Banks were now reluctant to lend to each other because none could be sure where the exposure to tainted securities ultimately lay.

Central banks responded by pouring billions into the inter-bank system. On August 17, 2007 the Federal Reserve cut the discount rate, (at which it will lend to banks), by 50 basis points (0.50%), followed on September 18, 2007 by a federal funds rate reduction of an unexpectedly soothing 50 basis points (0.50%), and another 50 basis points (0.50%) cut in the discount rate.

Finally, on October 31, 2007, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) cut both rates by a further 0.25%.

U.S. equities, represented by the Standard and Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index(2) (“S&P 500® Index”), including dividends, returned 5.5% for the six month period ended October 31, 2007, and 14.56% for the year ended October 31, 2007. It finally breached its March 2000 record in May 2007 and from there the index proceeded fitfully to its best level yet on July 19, 2007, reassured by better than expected corporate profits. But the prospect of continued takeover activity, that other great pillar of stock market support worldwide, vanished with the liquidity required to fund it as the events described above played out. This and general risk aversion took the S&P 500® Index down about 9.5% in the next 19 trading sessions. Recovery was swift after rate cut expectations set in, however, with a rise of nearly 3% in response to the pleasant surprise on September 18, 2007, and a new all time record close on October 9, 2007.

Internationally, the MSCI Japan® Index(3) fell 3.5% in the six month period ended October 31, 2007, amid the usual cocktail of contradictory economic statistics that ultimately turned sour. Initially, GDP growth was reported strong at 3.2% annualized. Quarterly capital spending and the trade surplus made new records, with China replacing the U.S. as Japan’s biggest trading partner. Unemployment remained at a nine-year low. But consumer prices and wages had started falling again and continued to fall almost without interruption through October while the unwinding of carry trades strengthened the yen and threatened all-

important exports. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the MSCI Japan® Index returned 4.84%. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(4) edged up 1.8% in the six month period ended October 31, 2007. A rally on high consumer and business confidence, continuing merger and acquisition activity and the lowest Eurozone unemployment since records began, gave way to nervousness in mid-July 2007 after another rate increase and turned into a rout as the sub-prime debacle unfolded. On August 16, 2007, some European stock indices had their biggest one-day fall in four and a half years. The U.S. rate cuts were not reciprocated by the European Central Bank, but still inspired a partial recovery, even as inflation accelerated to 2.6%. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the MSCI Europe ex UK® Index returned 30.29%. The UK added 5.3%. Stocks surged into the summer shrugging off a rate increase to 5.75%, a six-year high. A housing boom and robust service sector had raised year over year GDP growth to 3.0%. Non-financial companies were making record profits. Retail sales were buoyant and consumer confidence was high. The slide into the trough on August 16, 2007, was even more violent than in continental Europe. But with the Bank of England now clearly on hold and the Federal Reserve evidently determined to ease rates, October 2007 ended with stocks near their best levels of the period.

ING GLOBAL EQUITY DIVIDEND FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Global Equity Dividend Fund (the “Fund”) seeks growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary consideration. The Fund is managed by Nicolas Simar, Head of Value/ High Dividend and Moudy El Khodr, Senior Investment Manager Equities both of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 15.80% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM(1) (“MSCI World IndexSM”), which returned 20.39% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: In our opinion, we believe market return for the year ended October 31, 2007, was largely driven by momentum growth stocks. These stocks generally pay lower dividends than value stocks. The Fund currently holds stocks with higher average dividend yields; during the fiscal year this was a disadvantage as the Fund did not hold or was underweight in the stocks that drove market return.

Another result of the Fund’s dividend bias was an emphasis on certain sectors and countries. The Fund was overweight in financials, utilities and telecoms and underweight information technology (“IT”) and Japan. Underweights in IT and materials detracted from results, but the absence from Japan helped performance.

The Fund’s underweight in healthcare and overweight in telecoms contributed the most to performance for the fiscal year. The former lagged with companies’ problems from competition from generics and investors favoring non-defensive stocks. Telecoms rose as investors welcomed positive news about second quarter and third quarter earnings.

Tele Norte Leste Participacoes SA ADR rebounded from July’s drop due to credit jitters. Its second quarter net profit rose 65% amid growth in its

client base, increased sales of convergent products and an improved financial position. Secondly, the Brazilian government hinted that they may change laws governing mergers this year to allow the combination of Tele Norte and Brasil Telecom Participacoes SA ADR, the country’s third-biggest phone company. Mergers and acquisitions had propelled the stock earlier in 2007. BCE, Inc. of Canada (sold) was up principally due to a bidding war between a few of its larger shareholders and private equity groups.

The Fund’s two best performing stocks were PetroChina Co., Ltd. (“Petrochina”) (sold) and Petroleo Brasileiro SA ADR (“Petroleo”), up 135% and 118%, respectively. Petrochina and Petroleo rose as both started with a low reserve replacement ratio and this increased substantially along with earnings. Petrochina rose strongly in September as the company will be listed on the Shanghai exchange. At present, A-class shares are listed only in Hong Kong. The potential mass influx of “new investors” pushed the stock north. The stock thus reached our dividend threshold and we sold it in September. Petroleo benefited from rising international oil prices and its emerging market status.

We lost performance due to our underweights in industrials, IT and materials. On an absolute basis, the two most detrimental sectors were financials and materials. Financials had a strong run until February 2007, when the first news of sub-prime woes emerged; after that the sector heavily underperformed. The two most harmful securities were Washington Mutual, Inc. and First Horizon National Corp. The difficulty in calculating the write downs and the companies’ lack of visibility only worsened the sector’s performance.

Our two worst performing stocks were Precision Drilling and DSG International PLC (“DSG”). The former performed in line with the market until July when it announced the closure of one-fifth of its rigs and future earnings estimates were downgraded. DSG issued a profit warning in January. Since then the stock has underperformed, margins at the company are under pressure, their shops are a heavy fixed cost on a business where customers can shop online or at competitor’s and purchase goods at a better price.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The outlook for the strategy, in our opinion, remains positive. We also believe investments in defensive companies will give the strategy downside protection and lower volatility. Regardless of any scenario, the strategy will look for sectors or individual stocks to exploit (temporary) under-valuations that often take place.

ING GLOBAL NATURAL RESOURCES FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Global Natural Resources Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to attain long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by James A. Vail, CFA, Portfolio Manager and Anthony Socci, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 43.22%, compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) (“S&P 500® Index”) and the Standard & Poor’s GSSITM Natural Resources Index(2) (“S&P GSSITM Natural Resources Index”) which returned 14.56% and 40.46%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Natural resources continued to experience strong price performance in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. Crude oil rose significantly during this period, reflecting supply interruption fears and geopolitical tensions. Natural gas pricing increased towards the end of the period as the supply of liquefied natural gas imports was called into question, reflecting rising foreign demand. Within materials, the strongest performer was lead, which more than doubled as overseas auto production accelerated, and ended the reporting period close to its all-time high.

The U.S. dollar weakness and the credit meltdown were the key drivers behind the strength in gold. Finally, the U.S. housing slowdown brought lumber prices down from their summer highs; lumber is expected to remain at low levels for the immediate future.

During the fiscal year, the Fund benefited from stock selection in the materials sector, particularly among gold and precious metals companies. Gold’s performance reflected the desire for hard assets in the face of mounting credit concerns. Our decision to overweight diversified metals and mining aided performance, as this sub-sector was helped by strong global demand for coal, iron ore and base metals.

Country Allocation

as of October 31, 2007
(as a percent of net assets)

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

The Fund was hurt by weak stock selection in the energy sector: particularly among coal and consumable fuels; and oil and gas exploration, production and drilling. Partially offsetting these detractors was an underweight in the largest integrated oil and gas companies, which have been hurt by a shift in worldwide oil and gas reserves to nationalized oil companies.

Top energy performers, Petroleo Brasileiro SA and CNOOC Ltd. ADR, were foreign domiciled companies that were helped by rising oil prices. Petroleo Brasileiro SA was able to increase its oil production while CNOOC Ltd. ADR benefited from Chinese demand. Within materials, Major Drilling, and Cia Vale do Rio Doce ADR, were diversified metals and mining companies that benefited from rising commodity prices. Our position in McDermott International, Inc., an infrastructure play within the industrial sector, benefited from its offshore construction for oil companies.

The greatest individual detractor was Evergreen Energy, a coal beneficiation company. Negative investor sentiment weighed heavily on the stock early in the period and the shares were subsequently sold. Hercules Offshore, Inc. and Valero Energy Corp. are highly exposed to shallow water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. This region has been in transition and we expect activities to pick up. Oil and gas equipment and service provider Geokinetics, Inc. was hurt by seasonality. We believe refining margins will improve in next year’s driving season. ConocoPhillips Consol Energy, Inc. reported disappointing results and was punished in the market.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We remain convinced that we are in the middle of a longer and stronger natural resource cycle, driven by industrialization and urbanization trends in emerging economies. These trends, coupled with the global growth in infrastructure spending, are energy and metal intensive. In our opinion, supply cannot react to this high demand over the short term. Any supply disruption, e.g., strikes, mining accidents or refinery outages, may push prices higher. Industry consolidation is putting more resources in fewer hands. In our opinion, this supports higher prices than historic trends would suggest. Should the U.S. economy soften, forcing the Federal Reserve Board to continue easing, the dollar could fall further and gold prices could go higher. In our opinion, the Fund is well positioned to benefit from these global trends.

ING GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager, Steven D. Burton, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager and Joseph P. Smith, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 15.44% compared to the Standard & Poor’s/ Citigroup World Property Index(1) (“S&P/ Citigroup World Property Index”), which returned 13.93% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: By region, Asia-Pacific was the strongest performing region for the period with a 39.0% total return, followed by North America which returned 0.4% and Europe which returned -2.3%. Performance in the region was broad-based with total returns achieved in each of the major countries within this region: Hong Kong returned 73.7%, Singapore returned 56.0%, Australia returned 42.6% and Japan returned 12.2%. These strong returns were fueled by robust economic growth being generated by emerging economies within the region and those countries which benefit from this growth. The rapid urbanization of China in particular benefited property companies that were able to take advantage of this growth, including Hong Kong-based property developers of residential and commercial space which have expanded into mainland China.

Within Europe, the United Kingdom property stocks were particular laggards returning -13.3% during the period, versus property stocks in Continental Europe which returned 6.2% for the same period. The U.K. has been beset by concerns of decelerating job growth, particularly in the financial district of London. Sentiment

has turned for the worse as the expectation increases that property yields will increase in the coming year. The Fund remains overweight U.K. property stocks, as we believe they will begin to look more attractive during the coming year.

Relative outperformance versus the benchmark was generated primarily by stock picking in Hong Kong, Japan, the United States and Canada. In Hong Kong, overweight positions in mainland residential developers Agile Property Holdings Ltd. and Guangzhou R&F Properties Co., Ltd. contributed to relative returns, as each of these positions returned over 100% during the year. In Japan, an overweight position in Tokyo-based office companies also contributed to relative performance, including Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. which is primarily a developer and landlord of office and condominium properties in the five central wards of Tokyo. Office fundamentals in Tokyo continue to improve, with rents increasing and vacancy levels below 2.6%, on average. Top performers in the U.S. included Hilton Hotels, which appreciated sharply as a result of the announcement during the summer that it would be taken private by the Blackstone Group LP. Archstone Communities, a national apartment real estate investment trust (“REIT”), appreciated as the result of being taken private at a sharp premium. Federal Realty Investment Trust and Ventas, Inc., U.S. shopping center and healthcare REITs, respectively, also contributed to relative performance. Canadian holding Sunrise Senior Living significantly contributed to relative performance as the result of being acquired at a sharp premium by a U.S. healthcare REIT during the year.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, the rationale for a global listed property strategy remains very much intact including diversification via low correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive current yield, attractive valuations and the spread of the REIT structure globally. This remains true even under the possible scenario of slowing global economic growth over the coming year. Investment themes looking out to 2008 include a continuing emphasis on investing in higher growth regions of the world, including the Asia-Pacific region, and looking for

opportunities in select markets which are currently under-represented in the listed markets but which show stable to improving property fundamentals. Given the increased volatility in global equity markets, Fund strategy will be to position itself with an orientation to top quality by management team, strategy and physical properties. Through an average 3% - 4% dividend yield plus high single digits prospective annual earnings growth, we believe global property stocks continue to be well-positioned to conservatively deliver attractive total returns over the next several years.

ING GLOBAL VALUE CHOICE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Global Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by David B. Iben, Portfolio Manager, of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC(1) — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 30.76% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World IndexSM(2) (“MSCI ACWI IndexSM”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International World IndexSM(3) (“MSCI World IndexSM”), which returned 24.19% and 20.39%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The materials sector, the Fund’s largest sector weighting, was the best performing sector during the period. Among the top contributors to performance for the quarter were gold mining companies Barrick Gold Corporation and Lihir Gold Limited. During the period, the price of gold reached its highest level in 27 years and many of the gold producers benefited as a result. Barrick Gold Corporation is the second largest North American gold producer, the largest gold company in the world by capitalization, and was the Fund’s largest holding in this sector. The Mosaic Company, a producer of phosphate and potash crop nutrients, was another top contributor to performance. The company has benefited from strong domestic and foreign fertilizer industry demand and higher product prices. Industrial sector holding AGCO Corporation, the Fund’s best individual contributor to performance, manufactures and distributes agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. The company has benefited from a global boom in the agricultural industry.

The financial sector was the Fund’s largest detractor from performance during the period, primarily due to continued weakness in the Japanese consumer finance holding Takefuji Corp. The company has experienced significant stock

price declines due to investor concerns over regulatory changes and legal challenges. We continue to carefully monitor the potential risk/reward profile of the company. The Fund’s information technology holdings also hindered performance. In particular, Korean-based Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. GDR, one of the world’s largest cathode ray tube and plasma display panel manufacturers, suffered during the period due to increased competition and price deterioration of its products. We continue to believe, however, that the company is a quality franchise, with a strong balance sheet and dominant market share. While the materials sector as a whole performed well, not all of the sector’s holdings had positive results. Bowater Incorporated, a producer of coated and specialty papers and newsprint, was among the largest detractors from performance. The paper industry as a whole is suffering from poor supply/demand fundamentals. Canadian-based gold mining company Gabriel Resources’ share price declined significantly in mid-September after the Romanian government temporarily suspended its environmental impact and construction approval process of the company’s 80-percent owned Rosia Montana gold project in Romania.

While the Fund’s investments represented numerous countries from around the world, U.S. investments contributed the most to performance while the Fund’s Japanese holdings detracted the most from performance. The Fund remains heavily overweighted in materials and heavily underweighted in financial sector stocks.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe that concerns caused by the U.S. sub-prime mortgage meltdown and softening housing conditions will continue to work themselves out, and as such, markets will continue to be volatile. Excess money from Federal Reserve and European Central Bank credit injections should find their way into investments with a scarcity of supply, such as oil, commodities and gold. As such, we continue to believe that the long-term supply and demand fundamentals for gold companies are compelling. While gold prices reached a 27 year high in September, in real terms, the price of gold as of October 31, 2007, was still less than 50 percent of its 1980 high. We also continue to believe the Fund is well positioned worldwide in other strong business franchises — such as food, agriculture, and basic materials companies — that have the potential to appreciate over the long-term.

ING DISCIPLINED INTERNATIONAL SMALLCAP FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Disciplined International SmallCap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Omar Aguilar, Ph.D., Portfolio Manager and Vincent Costa, CFA, Portfolio Manager, both of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: Since the Fund’s inception on December 20, 2006 through October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 20.90%, compared to the Standard and Poor’s Citigroup Extended Market Index World ex-US(1) (“S&P/ Citigroup EMI World ex-US”), which returned 18.71% for the period from January 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007.

Portfolio Specifics: Our research builds structured portfolios of stocks with fundamental characteristics that, in our opinion, will translate into a performance advantage over the benchmark. Our analysis seeks to position the Fund to capitalize on high-quality companies with growing earnings as well as attractive valuations and business momentum.

Sector allocation added value during the period, particularly an underweight position in consumer discretionary companies. Security selection among the financial, industrial and materials

sectors benefited the Fund; these gains were partially offset by security selection in the utilities sector.

Top contributors included overweight positions in Seoul Securities Co., Ltd., a Korean financial service provider, BWIN Interactive Entertainment (sold), an Austrian provider of online gaming and Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, which rose as profits for the first nine months in 2007 soared. In the industrials sector, names such as Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd., Glidemeister (sold) and Danieli also added to returns.

The worst detractors included overweight positions in Jessops (sold), a UK retail photographic products and services company, which slid as its chairman resigned and the company announced the closing of about 80 stores; and British property fund manager Capital and Regional PLC, which suffered due to negative market sentiment.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund is currently overweight in the financials, consumer staples and materials and underweight in the utilities sector.

Key contributors from these industries included Brasil Telecom Participacoes SA ADR (Brazil — diversified telecommunication services), LG Chemical Ltd. (South Korea — chemicals), and Vivo Participações SA ADR (Brazil — wireless telecommunication services). The Fund’s positions in the electric utilities and automobiles industries, such as Manila Electric (Philippines — electric utilities), Eletrobras (Brazil — electric utilities), and Brilliance China Auto Holdings (China — automobiles), also generally delivered favorable results. Gains for select holdings outside of these industries, such as AFP Provida (Chile — capital markets) and First Pacific (Hong Kong — diversified financial services), also contributed to positive performance. Declines for Taro Pharmaceutical Industries (Israel — pharmaceuticals) and Daeduck Electronics Co., Ltd. (South Korea — electronic equipment & instruments) proved to be the largest detractors to Fund performance during the period.

Among countries, securities based in Brazil, South Korea, and China tended to deliver the greatest gains during the period. Top performers from these regions included Cia Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo (Brazil — water utilities), LG Electronics (South Korea — household durables), and Weiqiao Textile Co. (China — textiles, apparels, & luxury goods). Positions based in Taiwan, Israel, and

Hong Kong also tended to register gains, while South African-based JD Group Ltd. (South Africa — specialty retail) tended to be the largest detractor from a country perspective.

On a relative basis, the Fund underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. A combination of the Fund’s overweight to holdings in the wireless telecommunication services and diversified telecommunication services industries, as well as poor stock selection within these industries, drove relative results. Stock selection in the industrials and financial sectors also had a negative effect on relative performance, while an underweight to positions in the metals & mining industry and a lack of exposure to securities in the oil, gas, & consumable fuels industry also proved unfavorable.

As a reminder, the Fund’s industry exposure is a residual of our value-driven investment process, which focuses on company-by-company analysis seeking to identify undervalued securities. It should not be surprising that, as dedicated value managers following a disciplined strategy, we are not currently finding value in many companies in these commodity-based industries. During this period we held one security in the metals & mining industry, Posco (South Korea), which returned more than 28% for the period.

Our philosophy remains the same, both during periods of relative outperformance and underperformance. We believe the best opportunities for capital appreciation come from finding securities trading at discounts to our estimate of their true values. Conversely, we firmly believe focusing on short-term relative performance can distract investors from focusing on a disciplined investment strategy.

During the period, our company-specific analysis dictated a number of changes to the Fund composition. We sold positions such as LG Chemical Ltd. (South Korea — chemicals), Manila Electric (Philippines — electric utilities), and Brilliance China Auto Holdings (China — automobiles) as share price appreciation pushed their market prices toward our estimates of their fair values. We also purchased a number of new positions, including Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fibre (China — chemicals), Koor Industries (Israel — industrials), and Bangkok Bank PCL (Thailand — commercial banking), at prices we consider attractive.

Current Strategy and Outlook: During the reporting period, the Fund’s country and industry exposures shifted slightly due to stock-specific buying and selling as well as changes in the prices of holdings. For example, new purchases increased exposure to the food products and specialty retail industries, while the sale of Kumho Industrial (South Korea — auto components) and a pareback of Kumho Tire Co., Inc. (South Korea — auto components) reduced the Fund’s exposure to the auto components industry. Among countries, the Fund’s exposure to Thailand and Brazil increased as a result of new purchases and share price appreciation, while sales of select issues in Taiwan reduced exposure there. (Keep in mind that the Fund’s weightings for industries and countries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions, but merely stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities in markets around the world.)

We believe that all holdings remain undervalued, and we expect them to realize appreciation as the market recognizes their true worth.

ING FOREIGN FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Foreign Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is managed by Rudolph-Riad Younes, CFA, Senior Vice President and Head of International Equity and Richard Pell, Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, both of Julius Baer Investment Management LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 31.32% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World ex-US Index(1) (“MSCI ACWI ex US Index”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index(2) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”) which returned 32.43% and 24.91%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: During the period, international equities exhibited strong results, particularly within emerging markets, with Asia topping the charts amid continued strong economic growth. Commodity oriented markets were also solid performers as demand for raw materials continued at a robust pace. The notable exception to the strong equity environment was once again Japan, which achieved only low single digit returns for investors.

Amid this environment, we modestly underperformed our new benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex US Index, which was adopted on March 1, 2007. This benchmark change coincided with our ability to operate within a broadened range for emerging markets of 0-35%. The underperformance relative to this benchmark was the result of several factors. From a geographic perspective, our underweight to Asia, detracted from results as did our underweight to commodity-oriented countries such as Brazil, Canada, Australia and South Africa. However, positively supporting results was our underweighted stance to equities in Japan and the United Kingdom. Our overweight to and stock selection in India contributed to results with the position in the State Bank of India Ltd. warrants particularly strong. Within Central and Eastern Europe we were overweight in Poland, the Czech Republic and Russia which proved beneficial. Specific contributors included Powszechna Kasa Oszczednosci Bank Polski SA and Bank Polska Kasa Opieki

(Poland), Komercni Banka AS (Czech Republic) and Norilsk Nickel Mining and Sberbank (Russia), although shares of OJSC Rosneft GDRs (Russia) underperformed relative to the index, negatively impacting results within the energy sector. Also in the region, Bank of Cyprus Public Co., Ltd. had very strong performance.

From a sector perspective, our underweight to materials dragged down results given rising commodities. While our overweight to industrials was positive, stock selection negated this effect due to several underperformers. Melco International Development (Hong Kong), Marfin Investment Group Holdings (Greece) and AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide (Germany) underperformed the index. On a positive note, our decision to underweight UK financials along with strong performance from several emerging market banks led us to outperform within the sector overall. This positioning more than made up for poor performance from several European financials, including Swedbank AB (Sweden), Immoeast Immobilien Anlagen AG (Austria) as well as the position held in KKR Private Equity Investors LP. One bright spot in Continental Europe was consumer-oriented stocks in Switzerland, including Nestle SA and Swatch Group AG.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We are toward the upper end of the range for emerging markets. Central and Eastern Europe including Russia remain an important component of the strategy. In our opinion, economic growth within the region has been driven more by domestic demand forces rather than U.S. consumption growth, providing diversification benefits. Select opportunities in Asia are also represented. In particular, we believe India, offers an industry mix more focused on services along with better corporate governance than in China. We believe South Korea and Taiwan have become more like developed markets, although they continue to be classified as emerging. We have uncovered opportunities across several sectors which are represented in the strategy. In our opinion, commodity oriented markets such as Brazil, South Africa, Canada and Australia continue to be driven by strong demand and we have increased our exposure.

We remain heavily underweight Japanese equities. In our opinion, lack of reforms, poor corporate governance and extended valuations leave little incentive to increase exposure there. The UK is also underrepresented, given our avoidance of UK banks.

Within Continental Europe, we continue to find transportation infrastructure such as airports to be compelling businesses with attractive franchises (restaurants, duty free shops, etc.). Construction and cement companies are also well positioned. Luxury goods and spirits companies benefit from demand from emerging markets.

ING GREATER CHINA FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Greater China Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Nick Toovey, CFA, Bratin Sanyal, Oscar Leung Kin Fai, CFA and Michael Hon Lung Chiu, CFA, Portfolio Managers of ING Investment Management Asia/ Pacific (Hong Kong) Limited — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 96.41%, compared to Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Countries Golden Dragon Index(1) which returned 84.11% for the same period. The MSCI All Countries Golden Dragon Index is an aggregate of the MSCI Hong Kong Index, the MSCI China Free Index and the MSCI Taiwan Index.

Portfolio Specifics: In China, news about the Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (“QDII”) scheme continued to excite the market; expected investment flows from domestic Chinese investors into Hong Kong listed Chinese stocks helped push the benchmark index to new highs. H shares and red-chip stocks listed in Hong Kong went up due to their cheaper valuations compared to their A share counterparts in the local Chinese market. China recently has experienced heightened inflation risk from fast-rising food prices; however, the central bank has moved preemptively to increase interest rates and bank reserves requirement.

Hong Kong has been performing roughly in line with the regional index thanks to its property sector, which performed well on expectations of declining U.S. interest rates. Taiwan was lackluster compared with the rest of the region as investors worried about Taiwanese banks’ exposure to U.S. sub-prime collateralized debt obligations. Concerns over the U.S. economy also hurt sentiment in the technology sector, which is export driven.

An overweight position in Chinese real estate developers via China Overseas Land and Investment Ltd. and Guangzhou R&F Properties Co., Ltd. was the biggest contributor to performance. Overweights in selected H shares, which traded at a

significant discount to their A share counterparts, helped performance as the shares narrowed the discount. Examples include China Shipping Development Co., Ltd., Dongfang Electrical Machinery Co., Ltd. and Jianxi Copper Properties Co., Ltd. Stock selection in the Hong Kong financial sector also helped performance.

In Taiwan, underweights in financials and information technology (“IT”) hardware, two of the largest sectors, contributed significantly. An overweight in the Taiwan petrochemicals sector via Nan Ya Plastics Corp. also added value as the sector benefited from growing Chinese demand. Finally, our holdings in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd, both A shares, contributed to performance. These positions have been closed and the Fund does not have any direct A share exposure currently.

Underweights in selected energy stocks in China, particularly CNOOC Ltd., detracted value as energy and commodity prices strengthened. Also, underweights in certain financial stocks, most notably Ping An Insurance and ICBC, detracted from results as those stocks outperformed due to liquidity inflows in anticipation of the QDII system. That underperformance was mitigated, however, by positions in Petrochina Co., Ltd, China Life Insurance Co., Ltd. and China Construction Bank.

Current Outlook and Strategy: Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong are likely to see further re-rating as a result of potential investment flows from Chinese investors. China announced another set of strong macroeconomic figures in August and the renminbi continues to strengthen gradually. International investors are concerned about the rising A share market and the possibility of a major correction. The U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis has also dented sentiment. China, being an emerging market, will not be immune to a general deterioration of investor sentiment or increased risk aversion. Nevertheless, we are maintaining a positive bias towards the Chinese market, as we believe China’s macroeconomic outlook is still solid. Corporate earnings growth is faster than previously expected and core inflation is still under control.

In Hong Kong, property prices are rising and domestic consumption is strong. Further U.S. interest rate cuts might boost local market sentiment. In Taiwan, the continuous struggle between President Chen and the opposition parties is dampening market sentiment. We believe Taiwan’s long-term outlook remains positive if the political deadlock can be resolved. Sectors such as basic materials and petrochemicals are likely to perform better thanks to rising demand from China. In general, Taiwan is still heavily exposed to the IT sector. The market outlook is still not favorable and we are staying underweight.

ING INDEX PLUS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Index Plus International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to outperform the total return performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index(1) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”) while maintaining a market level of risk. The Fund is managed by Carl Ghielen, Portfolio Manager and Martin Jansen, Portfolio Manager, both of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 22.98% compared to the MSCI EAFE® Index, which returned 24.91% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: By design, the Fund maintains approximate benchmark weights of the countries/regions, economic sectors and industries constituting the MSCI EAFE® Index and is expected to track the benchmark relatively closely. The Fund seeks to add value to the MSCI EAFE® benchmark through bottom-up security selection on the basis of customized sector models.

Stock-specific risk is substantially controlled by the large number of securities in the portfolio (between 300 and 400). As a first step, we include the best ranked 200 stocks across countries, sectors and industries. To ensure that the Fund maintains appropriate index weights and an index-like profile, we add an additional 100–200 of the next most attractive securities. The Fund is rebalanced monthly.

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

For the fiscal year, the Fund’s underperformance versus the benchmark was attributable mostly to security selection. The Fund performed strongly through June. After that, our models, especially in the financial sector, were wrongly positioned against a backdrop of rising volatility as the U.S.-induced sub-prime mortgage crisis escalated.

The predictive power of the individual factors included in each of the international sector models for a particular reporting period substantially determines the stock selection result in each sector and country/region. The model proved effective at selecting stocks in Continental Europe and Asia-Pacific ex-Japan, but lost value in Japan and the United Kingdom. For this reporting period, our positioning in the financials had the largest negative impact, due largely to an adverse ranking outcome of earnings/price factors used in the sector model. On the positive side, the EBITDA/price factor in the materials sector model proved especially powerful.

Japanese financial stocks Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. and Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. were notable detractors at the security level. The strong selection result in materials was largely attributable to our holdings of steel producers ThyssenKrupp AG and ArcelorMittal and Australian mining conglomerate, BHP Billiton PLC.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Stock selection flows from the sector/industry ranking models. The Fund’s portfolio construction and risk control disciplines seek to limit the Fund’s characteristics within an acceptable band around the benchmark. Our most attractively ranked stocks may have overweights of up to 0.75%, while the maximum allowable underweight is 0.50%. Within this context, the Fund currently

ING INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING International Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Thomas R.H. Tibbles, CFA, Barry A. Lockhart, CFA, Trevor Graham, CFA, and Patrick Tan of Hansberger Global Investors, Inc. (“HGI”) — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 33.89% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World ex US Index(1) (“MSCI ACWI ex US IndexSM” or the “Index”), which returned 32.43% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund outperformed the Index during the reporting period, as growth style investing started to outperform value style investing during 2007. The majority of the outperformance came from good stock selection across several sectors and regions.

From a sector perspective, the largest contribution to positive return came from stock selection within the industrials sector. Vestas Wind Systems A/ S (“Vestas”), a global leader in wind turbine and blade technology, was the best performing stock in the Fund over the past year, as well as the largest contributor to return. Vestas is benefiting from a political and economic environment which is very favorable to renewable forms of energy. Also within the industrials sector, NGK Insulators Ltd. posted very strong gains due to a significant upgrade in the firm’s earning power from their diesel particulate filters and NAS battery technology which is used in the wind power industry.

On the back of rising oil prices, energy stocks performed well over the past year and the Fund’s security selection within the sector added

significantly to the outperformance. Saipem S.p.A., which specializes in offshore oil rigs, benefited from increased opportunities in the offshore energy business, as well as from synergies that resulted from their most recent acquisition.

Information technology was the largest detractor from a sector perspective. Foxconn Technology Co., Ltd. (“Foxconn”) detracted from performance due to declining demand in Motorola handsets, which resulted in slowing order flow for Foxconn. Samsung Electronics GDR also added to the underperformance, as a supply glut of dynamic random access memory (“DRAM”) impacted the firm’s profitability.

From a regional perspective, Europe was the largest contributor to positive returns due primarily to strong security selection. Millicom International Cellular SA and Telefonica SA contributed to the strong performance in Europe, as telecommunications services stocks outperformed the broad market.

The largest detractor from a regional perspective was the emerging markets region as the Fund’s focus on high quality large-cap stocks in the region did not reward investors as much as the smaller-cap, high beta stocks.

Current Strategy and Outlook: As the U.S. sub-prime issue caused fear of contagion into international capital markets and investors fled to perceived safe havens, corporate spreads widened. Consequently, central banks around the world injected liquidity into the financial system to alleviate a potential credit crisis. We believe we are well positioned to weather any further shocks to the global credit markets, and continue to feel the environment remains constructive for global growth and international equity market returns.

We continue to actively pursue a disciplined, consistent approach that seeks to select stocks from quality companies with strong secular growth profiles and compelling competitive advantages.

We believe that the current market environment is conducive to a rotation into traditional growth style investing. Indeed, our focus on high quality growth companies provided satisfactory returns in a period that at times exhibited extreme volatility.

ING INTERNATIONAL EQUITY DIVIDEND FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING International Equity Dividend Fund (the ”Fund”) seeks growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary consideration. The Fund is managed by Nicolas Simar, Head of Value/ High Dividend and Moudy El Kohdr, Senior Investment Manager Equities, both of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: Since inception on June 28, 2007, through October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 5.70% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International World ex US IndexSM(1) (“MSCI World ex US IndexSM“) which returned 7.18% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Overweights in energy and telecommunications benefited the Fund. The Fund’s positioning in ex-U.S. financials helped, as we avoided direct exposure to the sub-prime crisis. Our two strongest financial contributors were ABN AMRO (sold), which benefited from the bidding war between the Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC led consortium and Barclays, and DNB NOR ASA (1.5%), which rose as the energy sector flourished. (The bank does a significant amount of business with oil companies). Also, the Norwegian economy was stellar.

In energy, our two best performers were PetroChina Co., Ltd. (sold) and Petroleo Brasileiro SA ADR (1.2%), up 71% and 59%, respectively. PetroChina Co., Ltd. and Petrol Brasileiros SA ADR rose as both started with a low reserve replacement ratio and this increased substantially

along with earnings. PetroChina Co., Ltd. rose strongly in September 2007 as the company will be listed on the Shanghai exchange. At present, A-class shares are listed only on the Hong Kong exchange. The potential mass influx of “new investors” pushed the stock north. The stock thus reached our dividend threshold and we sold it in September. Petroleo Brasileiro ADR SA benefited from rising international oil prices and its emerging market status.

Overall, the two best performing stocks were Petrol Brasileiros SA ADR and DNB NOR ASA.

We lost a little performance due to our underweight in materials. The major gainers were the miners and metals, Rio Tinto, BHP Ltd., BHP PLC and Arcelor, which the Fund does not hold. Our gains in Fording Canadian Coal Trust (sold) and Rexam PLC (1.6%) were erased due to our position in UPM-Kymmene OYJ (1.2%). The company issued two successive profit warnings in the second and third quarters, citing the U.S. dollar’s depreciation as a cause of eroding earnings, a shutdown of a Canadian mill and a write down on the value of its magazine paper division.

We are overweight in utilities and despite some good stocks, the benchmark’s basket performed better. We had no stocks that lost performance; our strongest gainers were Scottish & Southern Energy PLC (1.5%), Enel S.p.A. (1.8%) and Terna S.p.A. (1.5%).

The Fund’s two worst performing stocks were Precision Drilling Trust (1.2%) and Tate & Lyle PLC (1.5%). The former performed in line with the market until July when it announced the closure of one-fifth of its rigs and future earnings estimates were downgraded. The latter issued three profit warnings in 2007 as the company struggled with a lower than expected sales of its sweeteners, the weakening U.S. dollar and an oversupply of sugar in the European market. On its third profit warning management lost its credibility and the stock fell 28%.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The outlook for the strategy remains positive. In our opinion, investments in defensive names will give the strategy downside protection and lower volatility, which may benefit the Fund going forward. Regardless of the scenario, the Fund will look for sectors or individual stocks to exploit temporary under valuations that often take place.

ING INTERNATIONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING International Growth Opportunities Fund(1) (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital through investment in equity securities and equity equivalents of companies outside the U.S. The Fund is managed by Uri Landesman, Senior Vice President and Head of International Equity, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 30.37% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East® Growth IndexSM(2) (“MSCI EAFE Growth IndexSM”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index(3) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”) which returned 28.52% and 24.91%, respectively for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: In our opinion, international markets generally proved resilient in the face of profound volatility. Global markets suffered material downturns in February, stemming from a warning by the Chinese government and again in late July as a result of the escalating U.S. sub-prime mortgage deterioration. However, a weak dollar coupled with a third quarter rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve helped bolster international returns during 2007.

Security selection bolstered Fund performance. Selection was particularly beneficial in financials and industrials. Our decision to underweight healthcare also added value, though security selection detracted. At the regional level, the Fund’s exposure to non-benchmark emerging markets and North America contributed. An underweight to the relatively weak Japan region added value.

Country Allocation

as of October 31, 2007
(as a percent of net assets)
LOGO
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

The most significant detractor over the period was security selection within information technology, followed by materials and consumer staples. The Fund’s overweight in the depressed financial sector was among the performance detractors. Our

underweight of and security selection within Europe detracted from results, as did selection within developed Asia.

Agricultural chemical and seed provider, Monsanto Co., saw shares appreciate with rising demand for corn for ethanol production. Anglo American PLC, a UK-based global mining company, rose in the wake of rising metal and commodity prices. Hong Kong based property developer and investor New World Development Co. benefited from strengthening Asian economies and low interest rates, which helped fuel the Hong Kong property market.

ORIX Corp., a Japanese financial services company, was hurt by lower profits. Japanese internet broker Monex Beans Holdings, Inc. weakened after reporting lower net income (profit) due to consumers shying away from stock trading. Wolseley PLC, a UK based distributor of plumbing and heating supplies, reacted negatively in the wake of slowing sales in the United States, which was directly attributed to the housing recession.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe the outlook for international markets has improved since late August as inflationary pressures have abated. Consequently, we are maintaining our overweight exposure to emerging markets. We continue to maintain underweight exposures to the utilities, healthcare and telecommunications sectors. Currently, we are overweight in both information technology and the materials. In our opinion, major risk factors include a potential slowdown of global growth, stemming from tightening credit conditions related to the U.S. led housing recession.

ING INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING International Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, Chief Investment Officer, CFA and Steven D. Burton, Managing Director, CFA, of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 28.49% compared to the Standard & Poor’s/ Citigroup World ex-U.S. Property Index(1) (“S&P/ Citigroup World ex-U.S. Property Index”) which returned 23.68% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: By region, Asia-Pacific was the strongest performing region for the period with a 39.0% total return, followed by Europe with a 2.3% return. Performance in the region was broad-based with total returns achieved in each of the major countries within this region: Hong Kong returned 73.7%, Singapore returned 56.0%, Australia returned 42.6% and Japan returned 12.2%. These strong returns were fueled by robust economic growth being generated by emerging economies within the region and those countries which benefit from this growth. The rapid urbanization of China in particular benefited property companies that were able to take advantage of this growth, including Hong Kong-based property developers of residential and commercial space which have expanded into mainland China.

Within Europe, the United Kingdom property stocks were particular laggards, returning -13.3% during the period, versus property stocks in Continental Europe, which returned 6.2% for the same period. The U.K.

has been beset by concerns of decelerating job growth, particularly in the financial district of London. Sentiment has turned for the worse as the expectation increases that property yields will increase in the coming year. As valuations become increasingly attractive, portfolio strategy of being underweight the U.K. property stocks may be reconsidered during the coming year.

Relative outperformance versus the benchmark was generated primarily by stock picking in Hong Kong and Japan. Country allocation decisions also added to relative performance as an overweight to the Asia-Pacific region, an underweight to the European region, especially Austria, as well as exposure to Brazilian and Indian securities benefited relative performance. In Hong Kong, overweight positions in mainland residential developers Agile Property Holdings Ltd. and Guangzhou R&F Properties Co., Ltd. contributed to relative returns as each of these positions returned over 100% during the year. In Japan, an overweight position in Tokyo-based office companies also contributed to relative performance, including Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. which is primarily a developer and landlord of office and condominium properties in the five central wards of Tokyo. Office fundamentals in Tokyo continue to improve, with rents increasing and vacancy levels below 2.6%, on average. The Fund maintained an underweight exposure to Austria, which was one of the poorest-performing markets during the past year.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, the rationale for an international listed property strategy remains very much intact including diversification via low correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive valuations and the spread of the REIT structure globally. This remains true even under the possible scenario of slowing global economic growth over the coming year. Investment themes looking out to 2008 include a continuing emphasis on investing in higher growth regions of the world,

including the Asia-Pacific region, and looking for opportunities in select markets which, are currently under-represented in the listed markets but which show stable to improving property fundamentals. Given the increased volatility in global equity markets, the Fund strategy will be to position itself with an orientation to top quality both by management team, strategy and physical properties. Through an average 2% - 3% dividend yield plus high single digits prospective annual earnings growth, international property stocks continue to be well-positioned to conservatively deliver attractive total returns over the next several years.

ING INTERNATIONAL SMALLCAP FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING International Small Cap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks maximum long term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by two sub-advisers — Acadian Asset Management, Inc. (“Acadian”) and Batterymarch Financial Management, Inc. (“Batterymarch”). Each manages a portion of the Fund’s assets that is allocated to the sub-adviser. John Chisholm, CFA, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Investment Officer and Matthew J. Cohen, CFA, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Managers of Acadian. Charles F. Lovejoy, CFA, Director and Senior Portfolio Manager and Christopher W. Floyd, CFA, Portfolio Manager of Batterymarch.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 41.67% compared to the S&P/ Citigroup Extended Market Index World Ex. U.S.(1) (“S&P/ Citigroup EMI World ex-US”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East Small Cap Index(2) (“MSCI EAFE® SmallCap Index”), which returned 28.37% and 22.72%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Acadian — The Fund’s outperformance for the reporting period was as a result of both active stock selection and active country weights. Stock selection was particularly strong in Canada, where a focus on materials stocks such as Lionore Mining International Ltd. and Aur Resources Inc. added considerable value. The Fund also gained significant active return in Korea, from a market overweighting and also from stock selection. Other markets with positive stock selection included Japan, Germany, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong and Spain. Key holdings adding to the Fund’s return over the year included SGL Carbon AG, Yamato Kogyo Co., Ltd, Singapore Petroleum Co. Ltd., Hanwha Chemical, Michael Page International PLC and Avanzit. At the sector level, materials holdings were the most successful overall. Other sources of return included country weightings such as Australia and Taiwan (overweight) and the U.K. and Ireland (underweight).

Less successful investments for the Fund included stock selection in the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and Austria, along with the underweighting in Canada and overweighting in Japan. Stock selection fared least well among

finance and staples stocks. Mitsubishi UFJ Lease and the German company, Deutsche Bourse, were among the finance holdings that detracted value over the period.

Batterymarch — Our investment process emphasizes stock selection, which was the primary source of relative outperformance for the reporting period. Stock selection was particularly strong in continental Europe, with selection adding the most value in the industrials and materials sectors within that region. Greek holding Sidenor Metal, a steel manufacturer buoyed by the possibility of consolidation, and Gildemeister AG, a German tool manufacturer with a record of strong fundamentals and innovation, were the two greatest contributors to relative performance. Stock selection was also strong in the Australia, New Zealand and Canada region.

Our weakest area for stock selection during the period was in the UK industrials sector. IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG (IKB)., a German firm providing equity capital and leasing finance, was the worst performing stock on a relative basis overall, having been bailed out by the central bank due to U.S. sub-prime exposure.

In keeping with our investment process and philosophy which emphasizes bottom up stock selection and risk control, overall region and sector allocations had little impact on relative Fund performance. The cash position did have a negative impact, given the positive return of the benchmark.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Acadian — The Fund remains focused on bottom-up stock selection driven by a range of quantitative factors related to valuation, earnings, financial quality and price movements. Country overweightings resulting from this process are currently focused on several Asia-Pacific markets including Korea, Australia, Singapore and Taiwan. Japan and Hong Kong are also slightly overweighted. European overweightings include Norway, Germany and Denmark. Additional emerging market exposure includes Turkey, Israel and Mexico. The Fund is underweighted in Switzerland, the U.K., France, Spain and Canada. The sector emphasis of the Fund is on materials, services and energy stocks, with healthcare, banking, utility and finance being underweighted.

Batterymarch — Continental Europe remains the most favorably ranked region globally, with our model targeting overweight positions in most sectors except banks and healthcare. In our opinion, risks include a U.S. slowdown, continued appreciation of the euro and ongoing turbulence in money and credit markets.

Within the UK, our models favor materials and industrials, while stocks within the banks sector are less attractive due to higher costs and lower short term revenues for lending banks going forward.

While we believe fundamentals in Japan remain sound, this market is ranked by our model as the least attractive of the major regions due in large part to flow of funds.

ING INTERNATIONAL VALUE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING International Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (“Brandes”), the Sub-Adviser. Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee is responsible for making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund. Glenn R. Carlson, CFA, Chief Executive Officer, Brent V. Woods, CFA, Managing Director — Investments, Amelia Maccoun Morris, CFA, Director — Investments, Brent Fredberg, Senior Analyst, James Brown, CFA, Director — Investments, Keith Colestock, CFA, Director — Investments comprise Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 19.87% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index(1) (“MSCI EAFE® Index” or the “Index”), which returned 24.91% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s holdings in the diversified telecommunication services and food & staples retailing industries made positive contributions to returns. Securities such as Telefonica SA (Spain — diversified telecommunication services), France Telecom SA (France — diversified telecommunication services), and Koninklijke Ahold NV (Netherlands — food & staples retailing) were some of the top performers from these industries. Positions in the food products and commercial banking industries also advanced. Simultaneously, negative results registered by securities in the communications equipment and consumer finance industries had an unfavorable influence on performance. Some of the largest detractors from these industries included Alcatel-Lucent (France — communications equipment), Nortel Networks Corp. (Canada — communications equipment), and Aiful Corp. (Japan — consumer finance).

The Fund also benefited from advances for positions such as LG Electronics, Inc. (South Korea — household durables), Nestlé SA (Switzerland — food products), and Akzo Nobel NV (Netherlands — chemicals), while falling share prices for holdings such as Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (Japan — commercial banking) and AstraZeneca PLC (United Kingdom — pharmaceuticals) weakened Fund performance.

Country Allocation

as of October 31, 2007
(as a percent of net assets)

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

Among countries, securities based in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Germany generally delivered positive results. Fund holdings domiciled in these countries, such as ABN Amro (Netherlands — commercial banking), Wm Morrison Supermarkets PLC (United Kingdom — food & staples retailing), and DaimlerChrysler (Germany — automobiles) had a favorable influence on performance. Conversely, declines among Japan-based holdings, such as Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. (Japan — commercial banking) and Takefuji Corp. (Japan — consumer finance), weighed on returns.

On a relative basis, the Fund’s stock selection in the communications equipment and diversified telecommunication services industries and underweight exposure to the metals & mining industry detracted from performance relative to the Index. The Fund’s greater exposure to the diversified telecommunication services industry than the index, however, benefited relative performance.

During the period, we sold several holdings to pursue other investment opportunities, such positions included DaimlerChrysler (Germany — automobiles), J Sainsbury (United Kingdom — food & staples retailing), and BT Group (United Kingdom — diversified telecommunication services).

We used the proceeds from these sales to establish new positions in companies such as Natixis (France — commercial banking), Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. (Japan — commercial banking), and Chuo Mitsui Trust Holdings (Japan — commercial banking) at prices that we consider attractive. In addition, we took advantage of compelling opportunities to add to select existing holdings at prices we believe to be below our estimates of these securities’ long-term values.

Current Strategy and Outlook: During the reporting period, the Fund’s country and industry exposures shifted slightly due to stock-specific buying and selling, as well as changes in the prices of holdings. For example, exposure to Japan and the pharmaceuticals industry increased, while exposure to Germany and the automobiles industry declined. In fact, we sold both automobile positions during the period. (Keep in mind that the Fund’s weightings for industries and countries are not the product of “top-down” forecasts or opinions, but merely stem from our company-by-company search for compelling investment opportunities in markets around the world.)

Overall, while we offer no predictions regarding the short-term direction of international equity markets, we believe the Fund remains well positioned to deliver favorable long-term results. We acknowledge that many of the Fund’s current

ING INTERNATIONAL VALUE CHOICE FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING International Value Choice Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Paul J. Hechmer, Portfolio Manager of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC(1) — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 22.48% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia, Far East® Index(2) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”), which returned 24.91% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund continued to gain ground versus the benchmark over the last three months; however for the one-year period ending October 31, 2007, the Fund generated strong absolute returns, but it failed to keep pace with the MSCI EAFE® Index.

While the Fund’s overall sector allocations created from bottom-up stock selection, generally aided returns, individual securities led the Fund to lag the broad EAFE market on a relative basis. The largest detractor from a sector perspective was Telecom Services. Both Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation and KT Corp., came under pressure and failed to keep up with the overall benchmark Telecom average. Overall, we still have high conviction in both these companies. While four of the seven companies in the industrials sector posted positive returns, the overall Fund’s industrials exposure failed to keep pace with the Industrials benchmark average. This was primarily led by weakness in Toppan Printing Co., Ltd., which had some deterioration in its printing operations. Overall, we continue to have high conviction in the stock as it continues to be one of the leading players in the domestic publications and commercial printing markets in Japan, in addition to enjoying a dominant position in the LCD color filters and IC photomasks market.

(as a percent of net assets)

Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.

From a relative performance perspective, the Fund’s respective holdings in the materials sector generated strong absolute and relative returns, with some of the Fund’s largest performance contributors coming from this area. Rio Tinto PLC, Barrick Gold Corp. and Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. were among the top contributors. In addition to Barrick Gold Corp., exposure to other gold mining companies such as AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. ADR, Newmont Mining Corp. and Lihir Gold Ltd. also added to returns. The price of gold rallied strongly in the latter part of the year and these companies, which had lagged the overall market for many months, rebounded strongly. The energy sector also performed well from an absolute and relative standpoint. Exposure to strong performing companies including BP PLC and Royal Dutch Shell PLC in the Fund helped boost overall performance.

Healthcare, followed by financials were the two worst performing sectors in the benchmark, and an underweight positioning to these areas of the market was also an additive to relative returns.

Before the significant global market sell off which started in July, the overall market rally was focused on European securities and those companies where there was heightened takeover speculation or merger and acquisitions (“M&A”) activity. The Fund’s general underweight to Europe, and thus its underweighting to the Euro and the Sterling, accounted for about 1% of the relative underperformance, as both currencies continued to appreciate over the one year period; however, good stock selection in UK somewhat offset the negative effect of this underweight. With the increased volatility in the third calendar quarter of 2007, Fund relative performance improved, although the U.S. dollar continued to weaken significantly versus major currencies.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe international markets continued their impressive run over the last year, although we saw stock market volatility rear its head towards the latter portion of the period. In our opinion, the majority of investors still appear to believe that current earnings levels and earnings growth will be sustainable over the long term. We are a little more sanguine and believe that markets offer pockets of opportunity, in particular in the materials, telecommunications and the energy sector. We continue to be very underweight in the financials sector even after the recent pull back in this sector. Our focus on providing superior risk adjusted returns over the long term is unchanged.

ING INTERNATIONAL VALUE OPPORTUNITIES FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING International Value Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Nicolas Simar, Senior Investment Manager Equities and Head of the Value Team and Frederic Degembe, Investment Manager Equities, of ING Investment Management Advisor, B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: Since the Fund’s inception on February 28, 2007 through October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 6.40% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia, Far East® Value Index(1) (“MSCI EAFE® Value Index”) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia, Far East® Index(2) (“MSCI EAFE® Index”), which returned 12.20% and to 15.87%, respectively, for the period from March 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007.

Portfolio Specifics: Markets were firm at the beginning of the period (March to June) before getting more volatile for the last quarter. The first part of the year had a bullish tone, with lots of merger and acquisition rumors and operations, decent results, upgrades for full-year guidance and lots of buy-backs supporting share prices. During the summer, however, some problems appeared in the capital markets (the sub-prime crisis, liquidity crunch and CDO valuations). Oil and commodities prices peaked as strong economic conditions in the emerging markets created high demand. In our opinion, this combination of factors led to a level of market volatility not seen for many months.

The Fund benefited from its underweight position in financials, which suffered from the liquidity crisis in the summer. Not only banks but insurers

and real estate companies were down over the period. We were underweight in all three segments. Our overweight in the telecom sector benefited the Fund as the sector came back strongly in favor thanks to its strong free cash flow profile and to quarterly upbeat numbers.

The cyclicals rally was very strong and clearly hurt our performance. In materials, for example, we owned companies involved in paper (lots of restructuring happening there and we believe valuation is appealing), which fared poorly; mining stocks, on the other hand, were the market’s darlings. We were underweighted in industrials, which proved to be a wrong bet as high demand from emerging countries filled up their order books.

The Fund benefited from the strong performance of Arcelor Mittal, thanks to its aggressive and well-received industrial strategy. Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Co. SA, (the Coke bottler in the Mediterranean region, achieved strong gains as a result of heavy investments paying off. Two of the Fund’s positions — Iberdrola SA and Fortum OYJ — benefited from the frenzy for European utilities. In Japan, the Fund benefited from the good performance of the trading company Itochu Techno-Solutions Corp. Mitsubishi Materials Corp. also was a good performer.

The Fund was hurt by companies that released surprising profit warnings: UK sugar company, Tate & Lyle PLC and Finnish paper company, UPM-Kymmene OYJ. Inflation in materials costs (sugar and wood) hit these two companies. Other weak performers were in Japan, where the financial stocks were particularly weak because of exposure to the U.S. sub-prime crisis. Among the detractors from Fund performance were Resona Holdings, Inc. and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The latest fiscal quarter was highly volatile, bespeaking investors’ nervousness under current capital market conditions. We

ING RUSSIA FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Russia Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of Russian companies. The Fund is managed by Jan-Wim Derks, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V.(1) — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 47.16% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets IndexSM(2) (“MSCI EM IndexSM”) and the Russian Trading System Index(3) (“RTS Index”), which returned 67.84% and 38.71%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: In our opinion, the absolute return for the Russian equity market over the fiscal year was quite strong. However, given the exceptional performance of oil prices over the period, as well as other emerging equities markets, one would have expected more from Russian stocks. Partly, this was due to uncertainty surrounding the succession of President Putin. Another reason was the large amount of capital being raised, in some large deals as well as a lot of small ones.

Large caps generally underperformed the market as many foreign investors reduced their positions, and energy stocks especially lagged. The Fund benefited by being underweight the energy sector for most of the period. Initially, the underweight was taken because the oil price had been correcting. Even when the oil price started to climb again the situation was not favorable for large cap oil companies, with low production growth and high taxation; we therefore maintained the positioning.

The strongest stocks were mostly found in the materials, consumer and telecom sectors. These sectors benefit from the strength of the domestic economy, which we believe will continue to do well, whether oil prices are at $50 or $100 per barrel. This is the reason why the Fund was overweight these sectors, notably through substantial holdings in mobile operators

MTS and Vimpel-Communications OAO ADR and steel company, Mechel OAO ADR. Another stock that contributed significantly to results was Sberbank RF, which nearly doubled in price over the period.

One of the positions that clearly lagged the Russian market was Efes Breweries International NV GDR. During the first half of the fiscal year, a $300 million rights issue put pressure on the stock. Given the positive outlook for the beer market in Russia and other countries in the region where the company is active, the position was maintained in the Fund. In the second half of the year, the stock performed in line with the index.

Another stock that detracted from the Fund’s performance over the period was agricultural chemicals company, Uralkali. It was the best performing stock in the RTS index, but the Fund did not own it. As valuations are now quite stretched, the Fund will not chase this performance. Instead, the Fund will maintain an overweight position in the materials sector, through what we believe are more attractively valued companies.

The positioning in the healthcare sector hurt the Fund’s relative performance. There are no healthcare stocks included in the RTS index; both of the Fund’s healthcare holdings, Kalina and Pharmstandard, lagged the index. We are keeping the positions for diversification benefits, as healthcare is a defensive sector with very stable growth. Polyus Gold Co. ZAO ADR and oil pipeline company Transneft saw their share price actually fall over the year. The position of the Fund in these names was neutral.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We see the fundamentals for the Russian equity market as strong and improving. We have this view despite oil prices already being at record levels. We see the domestic economy doing well, as long as the oil price does not totally collapse. The reason for the improving outlook is that we expect the March elections to clear the political uncertainty, and the market to start anticipating this ahead of time. We believe the Russian market will look attractive, especially if the global economy slows down. Accordingly, we expect to increase the Fund’s weight in large cap names that have lagged over the previous period.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding shares charges, provided a return of 7.18%, compared to the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified(2) (“JPMorgan EMB Index Global Diversified”), which returned 7.72% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The JPMorgan EMB Index Global Diversified spread over U.S. Treasury obligations narrowed slightly but there was substantial volatility during the fiscal year. Midway through the first quarter of 2007, emerging market spreads hovered around 1.80%, and then jumped to 2.03% when the Chinese government announced measures to restrict speculative stock investment. There followed several weeks of nervous reaction by investors.

When risk aversion receded, investors again focused on the positive fundamentals of the global economy and emerging market countries. The carry trade returned, whereby investors borrow money in currencies with low interest rates and buy riskier securities.

Sentiment turned abruptly, however, when the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis broke. Ever lower mortgage lending standards, combined with the widespread use of low “teaser” rates that began to reset higher, resulted in an acceleration of mortgage delinquency rates and precipitated a credit crisis throughout the financial system.

The freeze-up of the commercial paper market, the prospect of wide-scale lending losses and even the possibility of a recession, persuaded the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower interest rates in September 2007 and again in October 2007. The cuts produced some rallies, but economic uncertainty continues to affect the markets, as evidenced by JPMorgan EMB Index Global Diversified spreads, which as of this writing in early November 2007 are again at 2.45%.

For the fiscal year, the Fund’s below-benchmark credit quality detracted capital value. On the other hand, its above-benchmark coupon contributed to return and mostly offset the credit impact. Through the end of May 2007 the Fund accumulated a significant outperformance, most of which was wiped out after the U.S. subprime issue broke in late June 2007.

At that time, prices for Argentine and Venezuelan bonds, two of the Fund’s overweighted countries, dropped swiftly as investors used the riskier emerging market bonds to attempt to hedge their risk in mortgage-backed securities and to meet margin calls resulting from markdowns in those mortgage-backed securities. The Fund’s overweight in Argentina detracted from performance but was offset by instrument selection, as the Argentine bonds the Fund held outperformed the bonds in the benchmark.

Also contributing to results were an off-benchmark bet on Brazilian local-currency bonds, primarily the result of an appreciating exchange rate; an underweight in high quality but low-yielding Malaysia; and an overweight in Turkey expressed partially in local currency bonds.

The detractors were small, but together erased the benefits from the winning positions: an underweight in Ecuador (affected by an apparent turn towards a more creditor-friendly rhetoric from that country’s government), an overweight in Kazakhstan (where a credit crunch is affecting local banks), an overweight in Russia, overweight in Ukraine (hampered by political difficulties) and an overweight in Venezuela.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We maintain a positive outlook for emerging market debt as we believe the fundamental drivers are still strong. In our opinion, the U.S. economy will be able to avert a recession and while the aggregate of the emerging countries’ economies will not grow by as much as in the previous year, they will be able to partially decouple from the effect of the U.S. deceleration or at least avoid a crisis.

We expect inflows to the asset class as investors reassess their allocations at year-end. Valuations appear rich compared to U.S. corporate high-yield bonds. This perception is tempered, however, by improving credit ratings for emerging market countries.

Some of the spread differential can be explained by the more frequent issuance of U.S. corporate high-yield bonds with call features that keep those spreads high. We have incorporated corporate bond positions into the portfolio that have yields higher than comparable sovereign bonds from the same countries. The Fund is likely to continue to add to these local-currency positions.

ING GLOBAL BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Global Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by James B. Kauffmann, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 9.61% compared to the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Index(1) (the “Index”), which returned 8.91% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The past year will be remembered as one of severe financial market turmoil that led to billions of dollars in losses for major Wall Street firms and lack of confidence in the markets. While Europe and the UK continued to expand, the first six months of the period were marked with uncertainty surrounding the outlook for the U.S. economy. Many predicted a soft landing, while others expected a deep recession for the United States and slower growth abroad.

The deciding factor was the U.S. housing market, when it became clear that the housing downturn was nowhere near over. As home price appreciation and affordability slowed, higher mortgage rates and falling home equity led to defaults and foreclosures. The deterioration of the mortgage market spread to the broader markets, and credit became sharply scarcer and more expensive. The U.S. problem quickly turned into a global one, as it impacted German and UK banks that held sub-prime debt. With more losses looming, borrowing costs skyrocketing, the equity markets down and the

credit markets at a stand-still, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) sought to restore order by lowering the interest rates half a percentage point in September and by another quarter point in October.

The Fund benefited during the first half of the year from less interest rate exposure than the Index, expressed in the U.S. and Japanese markets. As economic and market sentiment turned, Fund positions flipped to overweight interest rate exposure, principally focused in the United States, UK and Europe. Broadly speaking, the Fund was positioned for steeper curves in most of the major markets, leading to further outperformance. As U.S. growth slowed relative to other major economies, the Fund benefited from being underweight the dollar. We held a significant position in the Norwegian krone, which benefited from strong economic growth and soaring oil prices.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, the downturn in the housing market has been much more severe and drawn out than anyone originally forecast. We believe this weakness will spill over to the broader economy beginning in the fourth quarter, with the outcome hinging on the consumer. As falling house prices and rising energy prices detract from personal wealth, we expect greater pressure on consumer spending to slow. In our opinion, unemployment is likely to continue rising, as private hiring will be inhibited by depressed profit levels. We believe the effects of these factors on the economy will lead the Fed to cut interest rates further.

With our U.S. outlook in mind, it is hard to envision the global economy expanding unscathed. While the G7 real economies may not be directly linked, the global financial markets certainly are, and these countries will likely follow the path of the U.S. In particular, we think the UK will be the next country under pressure, as the financial industry there makes up about 10% of gross domestic product growth. In the current environment of investor uncertainty, as government yields fall and credit spreads widen, the Fund will remain overweight duration in the G7 economies. Near-term

ING DIVERSIFIED INTERNATIONAL FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT

ING Diversified International Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long term growth of capital. The Fund invests in a combination of other ING Funds (“underlying funds”) according to target allocations determined by the Investment Adviser. The Fund is managed by ING Investments, LLC, under the guidance of an investment review committee.(1)

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s current approximate target investment allocations (expressed as a percentage of its net assets) among the underlying funds are set out below. As these are strategic allocations, the actual allocations of the Fund’s assets may deviate from the percentages shown.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 29.66% compared to the 32.43% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World ex USA IndexSM(2) (“MSCI ACWI ex USA IndexSM”) for the same period.

Part of the Fund’s underperformance was due to differences in the makeup of its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA IndexSM, and the Fund’s Strategic Allocations set out below. Thus, while non-benchmark

holdings in small-cap and real estate performed positively, on a relative basis, they did not perform as well as the benchmark and thus dragged down Fund’s performance compared to the benchmark.

Most of the under performance arose at the Fund level. Although five of the seven underlying funds held for the entire 12-month period outperformed general benchmarks appropriate to their respective international asset classes, the outperformance needed to be even better because we rely on these funds to provide exposure to emerging markets, by far the strongest international equity asset class during the period. ING Index Plus International Equity Fund and ING Emerging Countries Fund detracted from relative performance because they lagged their respective benchmarks.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We adopted a new strategic neutral allocation on March 1 2007, which entailed decreasing the allocation to international core in favor of international growth and international value in equal increments, and decreasing emerging markets in favor of international real estate.

During the year, we also made a tactical move to a neutral position in small cap, from an underweight. We believe small-cap valuations remain attractive compared to the larger-cap developed markets, all the more so in light of the volatility seen this year. Increasing activity in mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts and private equity may benefit small caps for the near term. In addition, we added to emerging markets and closed the year with an overweight position. We are comfortable with

Target Allocation

 
     International Core 35.0%     
     International Growth 20.0%     
     International Value 15.0%     
     International SmallCap 10.0%     
     Emerging Markets 17.0%     
     International Real Estate 3.0%     

these positions, mainly because they continue to experience strong price momentum, and their resilience to volatility has not wavered.

We lowered the allocation to international core, mainly as a funding source, and are now neutral in this asset class. We remain underweight in both large value and real estate, and overweight in large growth. It is our view that in a rising rate environment, international opportunities may continue to migrate toward the growth space, causing us to favor growth. We believe the earnings outlook for financial stocks, which comprise a significant portion of value index, remains relatively unfavorable.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, 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 May 1, 2007 to October 31, 2007. The Funds’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.

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 the 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 before expenses),” 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 each 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.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of management. 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 October 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. 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 funds as of October 31, 2007, and 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

Organization. The ING Funds included in this report are comprised of ING Mutual Funds (“IMF”) and ING Mayflower Trust (“IMT”) (each a “Registrant” and collectively, the “Registrants”); both are organized as open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”).

IMF is a Delaware statutory trust organized December 18, 1992 with twenty separate active series, all of which are included in this report, (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “IMF Funds”): ING Global Equity Dividend Fund (“Global Equity Dividend”), ING Global Natural Resources Fund (“Global Natural Resources”), ING Global Real Estate Fund (“Global Real Estate”), ING Global Value Choice Fund (“Global Value Choice”), ING Disciplined International SmallCap Fund (“Disciplined International SmallCap”), ING Emerging Countries Fund (“Emerging Countries”), ING Foreign Fund (“Foreign”), ING Greater China Fund (“Greater China”), ING Index Plus International Equity Fund (“Index Plus International Equity”), ING International Capital Appreciation Fund (“International Capital Appreciation”), ING International Equity Dividend Fund (“International Equity Dividend”), ING International Growth Opportunities Fund (“International Growth Opportunities”) (formerly, ING International Fund), ING International Real Estate Fund (“International Real Estate”), ING International SmallCap Fund (“International SmallCap”), ING International Value Choice Fund (“International Value Choice”), ING International Value Opportunities Fund (“International Value Opportunities”), ING Russia Fund (“Russia”), ING Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund (“Emerging Markets Fixed Income”), ING Global Bond Fund (“Global Bond”) and ING Diversified International Fund (“Diversified International”). IMT is a Massachusetts business trust organized August 18, 1993 with one series, ING International Value Fund (“International Value”) (a “Fund” and together with the IMF Funds, the “Funds”). The investment objective of each Fund is described in the Funds’ prospectus.

Each Fund offers at least one or more of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class O, Class Q and Class R. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees and transfer agent fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Common expenses of the Funds (including custodial asset-based fees, legal and audit fees, printing and mailing expenses, transfer agency out-of-pocket expenses, and fees and expenses of the independent trustees) are allocated to each Fund in proportion to its relative daily net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a particular fund (including advisory, administration, custodial transaction-based, registration, other professional, distribution and/or service fees, certain taxes, and offering costs) are charged directly to that Fund. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees. Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase.

International Value is closed to new investments except for shares purchased (1) through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions; (2) by 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans that have selected International Value as an investment option prior to June 28, 2002; (3) by shareholders participating in mutual fund wrap fee programs who were invested in International Value prior to June 28, 2002; (4) by new 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans and new shareholders participating in mutual fund wrap fee programs subject to approval by the Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser based on their assessment of the Fund’s ability to invest the monies consistent with the Fund’s objectives in light of market conditions, the size of the purchase, and other relevant factors relating to International Value; (5) by certain institutional and separately managed account investors that are pre-existing clients of the Sub-Adviser; and (6) by employees of the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser and their affiliates. Proof of eligibility may be required. Institutional and separately managed account investors that are pre-existing clients of the Sub-Adviser and employees of the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser and their affiliates must identify themselves as such at the time of purchase. Failure to do so may result in a rejection of the purchase. The Fund may reopen in the future subject to the discretion of the Board of Trustees of IMT.

Effective January 2, 2007, Class M shareholders of Emerging Countries were converted to Class A shares

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION (continued)

of Emerging Countries. In addition, Emerging Countries does not impose any front-end sales charge (load) on purchases of Class A shares of Emerging Countries by its former Class M shareholders for the life of their account.

Diversified International seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other ING Funds (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements, and such policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.

A.   Security Valuation. For all Funds except Russia and Diversified International, investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale, securities traded in the over-the-counter-market, gold and silver bullion, platinum and palladium 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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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 Fund calculates its next net asset value (“NAV”) may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Funds’ Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. The valuation techniques applied in any specific instance are likely to vary from case to case. With respect to a restricted security, for example, consideration is generally given to the cost of the investment, the market value of any unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of valuation, the potential expiration of restrictions on the security, the existence of any registration rights, the costs to a Fund related to registration of the security, as well as factors relevant to the issuer itself. Consideration may also be given to the price and extent of any public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies’ securities.
 
  The value of a foreign security traded on an exchange outside the United States is generally based on its price on the principal foreign exchange where it trades as of the time a Fund determines its NAV or if the foreign exchange closes prior to the time the Fund determines its NAV, the most recent closing price of the foreign security on its principal exchange. Trading in certain non-U.S. securities may not take place on all days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Further, trading takes place in various foreign markets on days on which the NYSE is not open. Consequently, the calculation of a Fund’s NAV may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of securities held by a Fund in foreign securities markets. Further, the value of a Fund’s assets may be significantly affected by foreign trading on days when a shareholder cannot purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. In calculating a Fund’s NAV, foreign securities in foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents.
 
  If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by a Fund closes but before the time that a Fund’s next NAV is calculated, such event may cause the closing price on the foreign exchange to not represent a readily available reliable market value quotation for such securities at the time a Fund determines

124


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)

 
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

its NAV. In such a case, a Fund will use the fair value of such securities as determined under the Funds’ valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require a Fund to fair value some or all of its foreign securities 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 in the determination of a security’s fair value, the Board has authorized the use of one or more independent research services to assist with such determinations. An independent research service may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its NAV. There can be no assurance that such models accurately reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of such markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that a Fund could obtain if it were to sell the security at the time of the close of the NYSE. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, a Fund is not obligated to use the fair valuations suggested by any research service, and valuation recommendations provided by such research services may be overridden if other events have occurred or if other fair valuations are determined in good faith to be more accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes a Fund to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time the Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest approximates market value.
 
  For the Russia Fund, the valuation procedures for Russian equity securities are to price local shares according to the most recent available bid prices. If securities are not listed on the Russian Trade System or on any other pricing service that lists available bid quotes, then the mean of at least two broker bid quotes is used. For equity securities of an issuer in Russia for which there are no readily available reliable market value quotations, the following benchmark pricing procedure shall apply on any day on which the largest securities exchange in Russia (the “RTS”) declines by 2.5% or more; the price of the security shall be adjusted by the amount of the downward change in a composite of the other companies that are publicly traded in the same sector as the issuer, if ascertainable, and if not ascertainable, by the amount of downward change in the RTS.
 
  For Diversified International, the valuation of the Fund’s investments in its Underlying Funds is based on the NAVs of the Underlying Funds each business day. In general, assets of the Underlying Funds are valued based on actual or estimated market value, with special provisions for assets not having readily available market quotations and short-term debt securities, and for situations where market quotations are deemed unreliable. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value. Securities prices may be obtained from automated pricing services. Shares of investment companies held by the Underlying Funds will generally be valued at the latest NAV reported by that investment company.
 
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, net of any applicable withholding tax, on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
 
  For Diversified International, capital gain dividends from Underlying Funds are recorded as distributions of realized gains from affiliated Underlying Funds.

125


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)

 
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

  Global Real Estate and International Real Estate estimate components of distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.
 
C.   Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds and Underlying Funds 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 Funds and Underlying Funds 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 that 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 a Fund’s or an Underlying Fund’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. The foregoing risks are even greater with respect to securities of issuers in emerging markets.
 
D.   Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar, generally in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds and Underlying Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or may 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. 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 Fund and Underlying Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. Each Fund and Underlying Fund intends to limit its use of futures contracts and futures options to “bona fide hedging” transactions, as such term is defined in applicable regulations, interpretations and practice. 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

126


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)

 
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

such a contract, a Fund or an Underlying Fund 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 Fund or an Underlying Fund 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 margin and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund or an Underlying Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund or Underlying Fund 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 Funds record distributions to their shareholders on ex-dividend date. Each Fund pays dividends and capital gains, if any, annually (except, Global Equity Dividend, Global Real Estate and International Real Estate, which pay dividends, if any, quarterly and Emerging Markets Fixed Income and Global Bond, which pay dividends monthly). The Funds 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
 
F.   Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated 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 expire.
 
  The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes, whereby a portion of redemption payments are treated as distributions of income or gain.
 
G.   Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
H.   Organization Expenses and Offering Costs. Costs incurred with the organization of the Funds and Underlying Funds are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred with the offering of shares of the Funds and Underlying Funds are deferred and amortized over a twelve-month period on a straight-line basis.
 
I.   Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund and Underlying Fund 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 Fund and Underlying Fund 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 Fund or Underlying Fund. 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. There would be potential loss to the Fund or Underlying Fund in the event the Fund or Underlying Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
 
J.   Securities Lending. Each Fund and Underlying Fund 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, each Fund and

127


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)

 
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Underlying Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to a Fund or Underlying Fund in the event the Fund or Underlying Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. Each Fund and Underlying Fund 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 Fund or Underlying Fund.
 
K.   Options Contracts. All Funds and Underlying Funds may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. The Funds and Underlying Funds 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 Funds and Underlying Funds 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 value of an option purchased or written is marked to market daily and is valued at the closing price on the exchange on which it is traded or, if not traded on an exchange or no closing price is available, at the mean between last bid and asked prices. The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Funds and Underlying Funds 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 Funds and Underlying Funds 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 Funds and Underlying Funds 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.
 
L.   Swap Contracts. Certain Funds and Underlying Funds 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.
 
M.   Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are not readily marketable. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for the Funds and Underlying Funds to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Each Fund and Underlying Fund 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 procedures adopted by the Board or may be deemed 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.
 
N.   Delayed Delivery or When-Issued Transaction. The Funds and Underlying Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the 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 these securities is identified in each Fund’s 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

NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

Foreign Securities (All Funds). Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which the Funds and Underlying Funds may invest are denominated in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Funds and Underlying Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Funds and Underlying Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as changes vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar from movements in currency, and changes in security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ investments.

Emerging Markets Investments (All Funds except Index Plus International Equity). Because of less developed markets and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions, the risks of investing in foreign securities can be intensified in the case of investments in issuers domiciled or doing substantial business in emerging market countries.

Industry Concentration (Global Natural Resources, Global Real Estate and International Real Estate). As a result of each Fund and Underlying Funds concentrating its assets in securities related to a particular industry, each Fund or Underlying Fund may be subject to greater market fluctuation than a fund that invests in securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives.

Geographic Concentration (Greater China and Russia). As a result of each Fund concentrating its assets in a single region of the world, each Fund’s performance may be more volatile than that of a fund that invests globally. If securities in the region that each Fund is concentrated fall out of favor, it may cause a Fund to underperform in relation to funds that focus on other types of stocks.

Non-Diversified (Global Natural Resources, Global Real Estate, Disciplined International SmallCap, Greater China, International Real Estate, Russia, Emerging Markets Fixed Income and Global Bond). The Funds and Underlying Funds are each classified as non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, which means that each Fund or Underlying Fund is not limited by the 1940 Act in the proportion of assets that they may invest in the obligations of a single issuer. Declines in the value of that single company can significantly impact the value of a Fund

NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

or Underlying Fund. The investment of a large percentage of a Funds’ or Underlying Fund’s assets in the securities of a small number of issuers may cause a Fund’s share price to fluctuate more than that of a diversified investment company. Conversely, even though classified as non-diversified, a Fund or Underlying Fund may actually maintain a portfolio that is diversified with a large number of issuers. In such an event, a Fund or Underlying Fund would benefit less from appreciation in a single corporate issuer than if it had greater exposure to that issuer.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities (Greater China, Russia and Emerging Markets Fixed Income). If a security is illiquid, a Fund may not be able to sell the security at a time when the Investment Adviser or a Sub-Adviser might wish to sell, and the security could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of a Fund’s liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, which could vary from the amount a Fund could realize upon disposition. Restricted securities, i.e., securities subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may be illiquid. However, some restricted securities may be treated as liquid, although they may be less liquid than registered securities traded on established secondary markets.

Rule 144A Securities (Global Value Choice, Greater China and International Value Choice). Rule 144A securities are securities that are not registered, but which are bought and sold solely by institutional investors. The Fund generally considers Rule 144A securities to be “liquid” although the market for such securities typically is less active than public securities markets and may lead to less ability to sell these securities.

NOTE 14 — SECURITIES LENDING

Under an agreement with BNY, the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. The Funds 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 Fund. At October 31, 2007, the following Funds had securities on loan with the following market values:

NOTE 15 — 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

NOTE 16 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon challenge by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early application permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. However, acknowledging the unique issues that FIN 48 presents for investment companies that calculate NAVs, the SEC has indicated that they would not object if a fund implements FIN 48 in its NAV calculation as late as its last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. For October year-end funds, this would be no later than their April 30, 2008 NAV and the effects of FIN 48 would be reflected in the Funds’ semi-annual financial statements contained in their Form N-CSR filing. At adoption, companies must adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management of the Funds has assessed the impact of adopting FIN 48 and currently does not believe that there will be a material impact to the Funds.

NOTE 16 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” The new accounting statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of October 31, 2007, management of the Funds is currently assessing the impact, if any, that will result from adopting SFAS No. 157.

NOTE 17 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 24, 2007, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize ING International Equity Fund into Index Plus International Equity (“Reorganization”). The Reorganization was approved by shareholders on November 21, 2007 and took place on December 8, 2007. As a result of the Reorganization, Index Plus International Equity launched Class O shares on December 10, 2007.

NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS

As discussed in earlier supplements that were previously filed with the SEC, ING Investments, the adviser to the ING Funds, has reported to the Boards of Directors/ Trustees (the “Boards”) of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, ING 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. ING Investments has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.

In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, ING Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including ING 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

Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2007 (CONTINUED)

 
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)

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 Boards.

ING Investments has advised the Boards that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. ING 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, ING Investments has advised the Boards that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.

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 Boards are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.

ING Investments reported to the Boards that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Boards 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, ING 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 SEC. ING Investments reported to the Boards 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.

Other Regulatory Matters

The New York Attorney General and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices (including suitability); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); fund selection for investment products and brokerage sales; and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. ING has received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and is cooperating fully with each request. In connection with one such investigation, affiliates of ING Investments were named in a petition for relief and cease and desist order filed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.

Other federal and state regulators could initiate similar actions in this or other areas of ING’s businesses. These regulatory initiatives may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which ING is engaged. In light of these and other developments, ING continuously reviews whether modifications to its business practices are appropriate. At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF NEW ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS FOR ING INTERNATIONAL EQUITY DIVIDEND FUND

Section 15 of the 1940 Act mandates that, when a series of IMF enters into new advisory or sub-advisory arrangements, the Board of IMF, including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the advisory and sub-advisory agreements governing those arrangements, and who are not “interested persons” of the series, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), must approve those advisory and sub-advisory agreements. Therefore, in order for a new series of IMF to be launched, the Board must approve an advisory and, if applicable, sub-advisory contract for that series prior to the commencement of its operations. At a meeting held on May 10, 2007, the Board considered and approved a new advisory agreement (“Advisory Contract”) and sub-advisory agreement (“Sub-Advisory Contract”) for ING International Equity Dividend Fund (the “Fund”), a new series of IMF that commenced operations on June 28, 2007, for an initial term that ends on November 30, 2008.

In reaching this decision, the Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings with respect to ING Investments, LLC, the investment adviser to the Fund (the “Adviser” or “IIL”), and from ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. (“IIMA“ or the “Sub-Adviser”), the Fund’s proposed sub-adviser, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the Board’s deliberations with respect to the approval of the advisory and sub-advisory arrangements for the Fund. The Board’s determination took into account a number of factors that its members believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP (“K&L Gates”), their independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment, to be relevant. Further, while the Fund’s Advisory Contract and Sub-Advisory Contract were considered at the same Board meeting, the Trustees considered the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory relationships separately.

Provided below is a discussion of certain factors the Board considered at the May 10, 2007 meeting in considering the new advisory and sub-advisory arrangements for the Fund. While the Board gave its attention to the information furnished, at its request, that was most relevant to its consideration, discussed below are a number of the primary factors relevant to the Board’s consideration as to whether to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for initial terms ending November 30, 2008. Each Trustee may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory arrangements.

Overview of the Contract Approval Process

In 2003, the Independent Trustees determined to undertake steps to further enhance the process under which the Board determines whether to approve new advisory and sub-advisory arrangements. Among these measures, the Board: retained the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Independent Trustees in working with the personnel employed by the Adviser or its affiliates who administer the Fund (“Management”) to identify the types of information presented to the Board to inform its deliberations with respect to advisory and sub-advisory relationships; established the format in which the information requested by the Board is provided to the Board; and determined the process for reviewing such information in connection with the advisory and sub-advisory contract approval process. The end result was the implementation of the current process relied upon by the Board to review and analyze information in connection with its review and approval of new advisory and sub-advisory relationships.

Since the foregoing approval process was implemented, the Board regularly has reviewed and refined the process. In addition, the Board established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees, including the International/ Balanced/ Fixed Income Funds Investment Review Committee (the “I/ B/ F IRC”). The type and format of the information provided to the Board or its counsel to inform its approval process has been codified in the Fund’s “15(c) Methodology Guide” (the “Methodology Guide”). The Methodology Guide was developed under the direction of the Independent Trustees, and sets out a written blueprint under which the Independent Trustees request certain information necessary to facilitate a thorough and informed review in connection with the Trustees’ deliberations regarding advisory and sub-advisory relationships. Management provides information specific to the funds in the ING Funds complex to the Independent Trustees based on the Methodology Guide through “Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables” or “FACT” sheets prior to the Independent Trustees’ review of

239

new advisory and sub-advisory contracts. In 2005, the Independent Trustees retained an independent firm to verify and test the accuracy of certain of this information for a representative sample of funds in the ING Funds complex. The Independent Trustees have determined to conduct such testing periodically.

As part of a regular on-going process, the Board’s Contracts Committee recommends or considers recommendations from Management for refinements and other changes to the Methodology Guide and other aspects of the approval process. The I/ B/ F IRC also meets regularly with the Adviser, and has met with IIMA from time to time in the context of its management of other funds in the ING Funds complex. The Board employed its process when considering whether to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts. A number of the Board’s primary considerations and conclusions resulting from this process are discussed below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Service

In determining whether to approve the Fund’s Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for their initial terms ending November 30, 2008, the Independent Trustees received and evaluated such information as they deemed necessary regarding the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by IIL and the Sub-Adviser. This included information regarding IIL and IIMA provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings in the context of their services to other funds in the ING Funds complex, as well as information furnished with respect to the Fund at the May 10, 2007 Board meeting.

The materials requested by and provided to the Board and/or to K&L Gates prior to the May 10, 2007 Board meeting included the following items: (1) FACT sheets for the Fund that provide information about the Fund’s proposed expenses, compared to other, similarly managed funds in a selected peer group (“SPG”), as well as information about the Fund’s proposed investment portfolio, objective and strategies; (2) responses from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser to a detailed series of questions posed by K&L Gates; (3) forms of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts; (4) drafts of a narrative summary addressing key factors the Board considered in determining whether to approve the Fund’s Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts; and (5) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluations.

In arriving at its conclusions with respect to the proposed Advisory Contract, the Board was mindful of the “manager-of-managers” platform of the ING Funds. The Board also considered the techniques that the Adviser developed, at the Board’s direction, to screen and perform due diligence on sub-advisers that are recommended to the Board to manage the funds in the ING Funds complex.

The Board reviewed the level of staffing, quality and experience of the Fund’s proposed portfolio management team. The Board took into account the respective resources and reputations of IIL and IIMA, and evaluated the ability of IIL and IIMA to attract and retain qualified investment advisory personnel. The Board also considered the adequacy of the resources committed to the Fund (and other relevant funds in the ING Funds complex) by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are commensurate with the needs of the Fund and are appropriate to attempt to sustain expected levels of performance, compliance, and other needs.

Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the advisory and related services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser would be appropriate in light of the Fund’s anticipated operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs, and that the nature and quality of the overall services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser would be appropriate.

Economies of Scale

In considering the reasonableness of the Fund’s proposed advisory fee rate, the Board considered whether economies of scale will be realized by the Adviser as the Fund grows larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fee rate charged. In this regard, the Board noted that there would be no breakpoint discounts applicable to the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fee rates. The Board noted that expense waiver arrangements would be put into place for the Fund, and considered the extent to which economies of scale could effectively be realized through such expense waivers.

Fee Rates and Profitability

The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rate, combined with the administrative fee rate, payable by the Fund to the Adviser. The Board also considered the contractual

240

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services.

The Board considered the Fund’s fee structure as it relates to the services to be provided under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts, and the potential “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and their respective affiliates, from their association with the Fund. For the Fund, the Board determined that the fees payable to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser are reasonable for the services that each is expected to perform through the Fund’s initial term ending November 30, 2008.

For the Fund, the Board considered information on estimated revenues, costs and profits for the Adviser for the first two years of the Fund’s operations. In analyzing the Adviser’s projected profitability in connection with its services to the Fund, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser to the Fund. The Board also considered information that it requested and was provided by Management with respect to the profitability of service providers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Board determined that it had requested and received sufficient information to gain a reasonable understanding regarding the Adviser’s projected profitability. The Board also recognized that profitability analysis is not an exact science and there is no uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose. In this context, the Board realized that Management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Fund’s operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to the Fund in determining profitability, and that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by Management nor capture Management’s entrepreneurial risk associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in today’s regulatory environment. Based on the information on revenues, costs, and IIL’s profitability considered by the Board, after considering the factors described in this section, the Board concluded that the profits, if any, to be realized by IIL were not excessive.

Other Factors Considered

The following paragraphs outline certain of the specific factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions reached, at its May 10, 2007 meeting in relation to approving the Fund’s Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for their initial terms ending November 30, 2008. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. The Fund’s proposed management fee rate and estimated expense ratio were compared to the fees and expense ratios of the funds in its comparable SPG.

In determining whether to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether each agreement, and the proposed policies and procedures for the Fund, should be approved. The materials provided to the Board in support of the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory arrangements included the following: (1) a memorandum presenting Management’s rationale for requesting the launch of the Fund that discusses, among other things: (a) IIL’s experience and expertise in the management of other funds within the ING Funds complex, particularly ING Global Equity Dividend Fund and ING VP Global Equity Dividend Portfolio; (b) IIMA’s experience in managing international and global investments; (c) the experience of IIL overseeing sub-advisers to other funds within the ING Funds complex, including IIMA; (2) information about the Fund’s proposed investment objective and strategies and anticipated portfolio characteristics; (3) FACT sheets for the Fund that compare the Fund’s proposed fee structure to its comparable SPG and Morningstar/ Lipper category medians; (4) supporting documentation, including copies of the forms of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund; and (5) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation. In addition, the Board considered the information provided periodically throughout the year in presentations to the Board by IIL in the context of IIL’s oversight of other sub-advisers managing funds in the ING Funds complex, and by IIMA in connection with its management of other funds in the ING Funds complex.

At the May meeting, the Board considered that the Fund would be subject to the standard policies and procedures of IMF previously approved by the Board for other series of IMF and approved in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board also noted that, in managing the Fund, IIL would be subject to procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that had been previously approved by the Board in connection with other funds in the ING Funds complex.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

The Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Contract with IIL on behalf of the Fund took into account several factors including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by IIL to the Fund under the proposed Advisory Contract; (2) IIL’s experience as a manager-of-managers overseeing sub-advisers to other funds within the ING Funds complex, including other international and global funds; (3) IIL’s strength and reputation within the industry; (4) the fairness of the compensation under the proposed Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided to the Fund and taking into account the sub-advisory fees payable by IIL to IIMA; (5) the costs for the services to be provided by IIL, including that the proposed advisory fee rate would not be subject to breakpoint discounts; (6) the pricing structure (including the estimated expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Fund, including that: (a) the proposed management fee (inclusive of the advisory fee and a 0.10% administration fee) for the Fund is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in the Fund’s SPG, and (b) the estimated expense ratio for the Fund is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in the Fund’s SPG; (7) the projected profitability of IIL when sub-advisory fees payable by IIL to the Sub-Adviser are taken into account; (8) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of IIL, including its management team’s expertise in the management of other funds; (9) IIL’s compliance capabilities, as demonstrated by, among other things, its policies and procedures designed to prevent violations of the Federal securities laws, which had previously been approved by the Board in connection with its oversight of other funds in the ING Funds complex; (10) the information that had been provided by IIL at regular Board meetings, and in anticipation of the May 2007 meeting, with respect to its capabilities as a manager of-managers in overseeing similar mutual funds; and (11) “fall-out benefits” to IIL and its affiliates that were anticipated to arise from IIL’s management of the Fund.

In reviewing the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract with IIMA, the Board considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) IIL’s view of IIMA as a manager to other funds in the ING Funds complex, including other international and global funds; (2) the Sub-Adviser’s strength and reputation in the industry; (3) the information that had been provided by IIMA in anticipation of the May 2007 meeting with respect to its sub-advisory services in general and its management of international and global funds in particular; (4) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by IIMA under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract; (5) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of IIMA, including its management team’s expertise in the management of international funds specializing in the types of investment which the Fund would engage; (6) the fairness of the compensation under the Sub-Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided by and the projected profitability of IIMA as the Fund’s Sub-Adviser; (7) the costs for the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser; (8) the Sub-Adviser’s operations and compliance program, including its policies and procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, which had previously been approved by the Board as part of its oversight of other funds in the ING Funds complex; (9) the Sub-Adviser’s financial condition; (10) the appropriateness of the selection of the Sub-Adviser in light of the Fund’s proposed investment objectives and prospective investor base; and (11) IIMA’s Code of Ethics, which had previously been approved for other ING Funds, and related procedures for complying with that Code.

After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Fund’s proposed management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Fund’s estimated expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by IIL to IIMA is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) both IIL and IIMA maintain an appropriate compliance program, with this conclusion based upon the Board’s previous and ongoing review of their respective compliance programs and the representations of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer in materials provided to the Board in advance of the May meeting. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Fund. During its deliberations, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

Table of Contents

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 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.

 


Table of Contents

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 a quarterly basis, receive from the independent auditors a list of services provided for the previous calendar quarter on a cumulative basis by the auditors during the 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.
