PRESIDENT’S LETTER


 

Diversification Still Works

Dear Shareholder,

The difficult markets of 2008–09 may have made some investors skeptical about the benefits of diversification. For a time, it did seem as if every asset was losing value and there was no safe place to hide. Today, however, as we approach the end of what is shaping up to be the second consecutive year of solid equity market returns, the value of diversification has been reestablished in the minds of most investors.

For some investors, however, it can be tempting to try to outsmart the markets, abandoning diversified positions to sidestep impending risks or to crowd into an area of strong returns. The problem with this approach is that it tends to be reactionary and ill-timed; investors generally buy in when prices are already high, leaving themselves overly exposed to risks of declines.

A recent example can be found at the end of 2009. Convinced that inflation was going to increase dramatically, some investors tried to game the system by selling long-dated bonds and buying short-term Treasury bills. When inflation went briefly to zero, short-term Treasuries generated losses; the 20-year Treasury bond, on the other hand, has been one of the best performing assets in 2010. Another example of this kind of herd behavior occurred during the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s; investors turned their portfolios into wholesale bets on Internet technology stocks, with serious consequences when the bubble burst.

With 20/20 hindsight, it’s easy to see how abandoning the principles of diversification led to trouble. It’s harder to see how investors continue to stray from the path; lately, some investors have attempted to outrun risk by concentrating on bonds, only to miss out on the sharp equity market recovery.

If straying from diversification is the problem, we believe staying with diversification is the solution. In our opinion, an investor should own the market and should do so from a global perspective. As we’ve noted many times before, it’s important to discuss any proposed changes thoroughly with your financial advisor before taking any action. Thank you for your continued confidence in ING Funds. We look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

Shaun P. Mathews
President and Chief Executive Officer

MARKET PERSPECTIVE:  YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010


In the first half of our fiscal year, global equities, in the form of the MSCI World IndexSM measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends (“MSCI” for regions discussed below), peaked on April 15, with a gain of over 15% since October 31, 2009. But then a confluence of local and global concerns sent prices reeling and in the next 12 weeks the gain was turned into a small loss. In the end, sentiment improved again and for the whole fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 the index returned 11.67%. (The MSCI World IndexSM returned 12.74% for the one year ended October 31, 2010, measured in U.S. dollars.)

By April, the 12-month rally had become increasingly edgy. The rescue of failing institutions by governments and central banks, together with unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus to counter the ensuing recession had led to enormous, unsustainable budget deficits. Stimulus would have to be reduced and debt redeemed. In this environment, markets from stocks to bonds to currencies were buffeted by news and events relating to three main themes: the stuttering US economic recovery, a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone and growth dynamics in China.

In the U.S., quarterly gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth (annualized) was decelerating, from 5.6% to 2.7% to 1.7% in the second quarter of 2010. Employment and housing were the focus of attention. The National Bureau of Economic Research declared the recession over from June of 2009 after 18 months, during which some 8.7 million jobs had been lost. Any credible economic rebound required their fast recovery. But the data over the period were less than encouraging. By September, the private sector was only averaging 91,000 new jobs per month and the unemployment rate seemed stuck between 9.5% and 10%. Of those unemployed, 42% had been jobless for at least 27 weeks.

The housing market had been improving, boosted by a program of tax credits for certain home buyers. But after the program expired in April sales of new and existing home sales collapsed, with a high proportion of distressed sales. House prices (based on the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index), resumed annual increases from February, but as our fiscal year ended the pace was slowing with the index still 29% below the peak reached more than four years ago.

In the Eurozone, default seemed likely on billions of euro of Greece’s maturing bonds. Amid downgrades, soaring yields, fears of contagion and doubts about the viability of the euro itself, Eurozone countries argued amongst themselves until at last, in early May, finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund agreed on a Financial Stabilization “mechanism” funded with up to e750 billion. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) started buying the worst-affected countries’ sovereign debt, much of it held in the vulnerable European banking system. This, plus positive results from some rather soft stress testing on banks, seemed to calm nerves, although uncertainty persisted.

Investors watched nervously as China wrestled with inflation and a housing bubble. The authorities repeatedly raised banks’ reserve ratio requirements and tightened the rules on mortgage issuance. GDP growth slipped to 10.3% in the second quarter and to 9.6% in the third. But with September’s property price index still increasing at over 9% per annum and inflation at a two year high, the Bank of China unexpectedly raised interest rates for the first time since 2007.

In currencies, the dollar showed strength in the first half of the fiscal year. But from early June, gloom about the Eurozone was increasingly replaced by renewed pessimism about the dollar over a stalling economy and the perceived threat of debasement through an expected second round of quantitative easing. For the whole year, the dollar gained 6.12% against the euro, 3.00% against the pound but lost 11.57% to the yen, which in October breached 15-year high levels.

The prospect of more quantitative easing, which undermined the dollar, acted to boost the prices of other asset classes.

In U.S. fixed income markets the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index of investment grade bonds returned 8.01% for the fiscal year, mostly in the second half. Among the sub-components, the Barclays Capital Corporate Investment Grade Bond Index, with a return of 11.61%, outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Index, with a return of 7.20%, mostly in the first half. The Barclays Capital High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index gained 19.10%.

U.S. equities, represented by S&P 500® Index including dividends, rose 16.52% in the fiscal year. A small gain of 0.74% in the second half concealed a 16% drop in the 10 weeks after April 23 and the index’s best September, a return of 8.92%, since 1939. Despite broader economic concerns, prices were supported by strong earnings reports, with average operating earnings per share for S&P 500® companies marking their the fourth straight quarter of annual growth.

In international markets, the MSCI Japan® Index lost 6.76% for the fiscal year after sagging 16.66% in the second half. Strong 5% annualized first quarter GDP growth shriveled to an export-dependent 1.5% in the second, vulnerable to the irrepressible yen, with household demand still fragile and consumer prices in retreat. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index returned 10.03%, including a small second half gain of 2.78%. The sovereign debt trauma subsided after it became clear that the ECB stood behind the banking system. In the meantime, GDP grew 1.0% in the second quarter over the first, boosting investor optimism. The MSCI UK® Index advanced 16.07%, of which 3.85% came in the second half. This was despite the prospect of severe public spending cuts to eliminate an 11% budget deficit. Supporting sentiment was the return to profit of most banks and the best annual GDP growth, 2.8%, in three years.

ING Global Equity Dividend Fund (“Global Equity Dividend” or 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, Moudy El Khodr, Senior Investment Manager Equities, and Kris Hermie, CFA, Senior Investment Manager of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 12.46%, compared to the MSCI World IndexSM, which returned 12.74% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: During the period, market attention shifted to focus increasingly on macroeconomic perspectives. There was a “search for comfort” in economic data to confirm the recovery and dispel fears of a double-dip recession. But the news also brought general sovereign risk back to the front burner several times with Southern European countries in the spotlight. In addition to downgrades of certain countries, and the Dubai World story, Greece was the next center of attention as investors focused on the risks of its sovereign debt crisis spreading contagion to the weakest countries of the euro zone. These events increased market nervousness and market volatility. The Fund held no exposure to Greece for the period under review.

The investments of the Fund outperformed the benchmark, but not by enough to cover the expense ratio. Stock selection contributed to results, while sector allocation detracted. The sectors that detracted the most from results were consumer discretionary and materials. Weak stock selection and sector allocation in consumer discretionary hurt the most. Sector allocation in materials and industrials also detracted. The Fund strongly benefited from selection among consumer staples stocks, healthcare and utilities.

Among the top contributing stocks for the period were Emerson Electric Co., Sara Lee Corp., E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. and KT Corp. (Korean Telecom). Emerson benefited from the better economic environment, beating earnings expectations. Sara Lee benefited from profits that beat Wall Street estimates; several brand transactions gave evidence of restructuring their portfolio, which also was supportive.

During the period, the Fund sold its position in Dow Chemical Co., mainly for valuation reasons after the stock rallied strongly. We also sold Emerson and Sara Lee during the period. The Fund initiated a position in ConAgra Foods, Inc. — as valuation spreads increased, comparable companies left this stock behind at what we believed to be an attractive valuation. Baxter International, Inc. also was introduced as a new position. During the period the stock came under strong pressure, which pushed its valuation to levels we believed were too low.

Many of the relative detractors from performance were stocks that the Fund did not own. For example, the biggest detraction came from not owning Apple Inc. On the other hand, Fund overweights also hurt results: positions in BP PLC, U.S. financial services company H&R Block Inc. and Japanese bank Mizuho Financial Group Inc. The Fund sold H&R Block because of the uncertainty surrounding the company, which we believed would result in a lower sustainable dividend.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Our outlook for the Fund remains positive. We believe investments in quality defensive stocks may give the Fund potential downside protection and lower volatility. Under current market conditions, we believe these potential benefits could contribute to performance. Regardless of scenario, the Fund seeks to identify sectors or stocks where it may exploit temporary under valuations to capture unrecognized value.

ING Global Natural Resources Fund (“Global Natural Resources” or the “Fund”) seeks to attain long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by David Powers and Joseph Bassett, Portfolio Managers, of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 12.99% compared to the S&P 500® Index and the S&P North American Natural Resources Sector Index which returned 16.52% and 14.03%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: For the Fund’s fiscal year, the natural resources sector eked out low but positive net asset value returns, although the Fund did outperform the S&P North American Natural Resources Sector Index before deducting expenses of the Fund. The materials sector provided most of the performance for the year; the energy sector lagged the broader market. Economic activity increased during the period, though; concerns about financial companies periodically dampened the momentum. The U.S. dollar continued to depreciate, which was helpful for exporters and sectors that had the most sensitivity to economic recovery. Sectors that benefited from these conditions included metals and mining, oil and gas equipment services, and coal and consumable fuels. Energy stocks, particularly drillers like Transocean Ltd. (“Transocean”), underperformed due to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Fund benefited from its positions in those sectors most sensitive to economic recovery. A position in mid-capitalization gold company Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”) was beneficial for the Fund. Centerra, a high-growth company, benefitted from the global economic recovery. The Fund’s position in iron ore company Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. also added to returns; it too was a large beneficiary of the economic recovery. Owning Smith International (“Smith”), and equipment and servicing companies generally, was favorable for results. During the reporting period, Schlumberger Ltd. took over Smith International, which sent Smith’s stock price soaring.

On the downside, underweighting Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (“Freeport-McMoRan”), a metals and mining company, was unfavorable for returns. As a partial alternative, the Fund held a position in Lundin Mining Corp. (“Lundin”) instead, which is a smaller company that runs a project within Freeport-McMoran and is not included in the benchmark. We believed that Lundin had more upside potential than Freeport-McMoran; the company added to results for the period but not as much as a full weighting of Freeport-McMoran would have done.

Owning Transocean also detracted from returns: its stock price plunged after the explosion of the BP-owned Macondo oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. We trimmed the Fund’s Transocean position significantly at the time of the explosion. We have since bought some of it back, and the stock has added to portfolio returns.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to believe the long term case for commodities remains intact. In our view, demand for natural resources will be driven by industrialization and urbanization trends in emerging economies, as well as the need for developed economies to increase infrastructure investment. As the global economy gradually improves, demand will continue to rebound from depressed levels. We believe increasing demand and limited supply will put further pressure on commodity prices and lead to solid return potential for natural resources in coming years.

ING Global Real Estate Fund (“Global Real Estate” or the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. 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, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 20.20%, compared to the S&P Developed Property Index, which returned 24.99% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The past twelve months have been a period of positive total returns for global real estate stocks, which have advanced as improving capital market conditions and economic conditions continue to benefit investors. North American property stocks posted the best performance over the past twelve months,, followed by the Asia-Pacific and European regions. Mixed macro-economic news continues to remind investors that patience will be required in this recovery. In most Asia-Pacific markets, we believe economic growth will likely meet or exceed its long-term average growth rates, while growth rates in many Western markets will remain challenged as economists are forecasting economic growth in the U.S. and many European markets to fall short of average long-term growth rates. This has led to a bifurcation of central bank policies as policy in the Western economies continues to be accommodative, while central bankers in most Asia-Pacific markets are beginning to show a bias toward tightening.

While absolute returns were strong during the period, the Fund lagged its benchmark as the result of both country allocation and stock selection decisions. The timing of country allocation decisions has hurt relative performance as an underweight to the outperforming U.S. market during the first half of 2010, combined with an overweight to the underperforming Hong Kong market during the first quarter of 2010 and an underweight to the French market during the second and third quarter of 2010 were the primary drivers of the allocation shortfall. Positive stock selection in the U.S. was more than offset by sub-par stock selection in other regions during the period. In the Asia-Pacific region, stock selection in Hong Kong was a drag on performance as the result of an overweight to China residential developers during the first quarter of 2010. In Europe, positions in French retail companies also detracted from relative performance during the period. The notable bright spot was stock selection in the U.S., which benefited from the strong performance of portfolio holdings in the mall, lodging and residential sectors.

 
 
 

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund continues to be positioned with a neutral to positive bias to the North American and Asia-Pacific regions and a cautious stance towards property companies in Europe, which we expect to continue to lag despite the outperformance in the third quarter of 2010. By property type, we remain overweight sectors which we believe stand to benefit from an economic recovery, including the shorter lease length apartment sector as well as certain office markets in the Asia-Pacific region. We remain underweight property types which conversely react more slowly to economic recovery including healthcare and most office markets in North America and Europe. Our outlook remains predicated on the assumption of gradual but steady global economic growth.

We believe that the rationale for a global listed property strategy remains very much intact including diversification via low long-term correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive current yield, reasonable valuations and the continued, gradual spread of the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure globally. We expect that real estate fundamentals will, as in the past, reflect improving economic conditions on a lagged basis as a result of the underlying lease structures. We continue to believe listed property companies are well-positioned to grow cash flow per share on a sustained basis in the current economic environment and are trading at reasonable valuations. Through an average 4% dividend yield, fundamentals which appear to be bottoming and access to the capital markets, we believe global property stocks should be well-positioned to deliver modestly attractive total returns over the next several years.

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

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 21.97% compared to the MSCI All Country World IndexSM (“MSCI ACWI”) which returned 14.10% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s largest contributor to relative returns during the period was the materials sector, in which the Fund maintained an overweight allocation. With the strong performance of gold during the period, which reached new highs, the Fund’s returns benefited accordingly. Canadian-based gold mining company Gabriel Resources Ltd. was the Fund’s top contributor to performance during the period, both in the sector and the overall portfolio. The company owns 80 percent of the Rosia Montana Project, one of the largest undeveloped gold projects in the world. In November of last year, the company announced the addition of a major shareholder and the news significantly lifted the company’s stock price. Newmont Mining, one of the world’s largest gold producers, with significant assets and/or operations in the United States, Australia, Peru, Indonesia, Ghana, Canada, Bolivia, New Zealand, and Mexico, also made significant contributions to performance. Newmont reported soaring profits in the first quarter of 2010 as the company benefited from higher gold prices. During the second quarter of 2010, Lihir Gold Ltd. (“Lihir”), a gold producer in the Australasian region with operations in Papua New Guinea, Australia and West Africa, announced its merger with Newcrest Mining Ltd. The merger was completed near the end of September and all Lihir shares were converted into Newcrest Mining Limited shares.

The consumer discretionary sector was the largest detractor from relative returns during the period. Consumer discretionary was the best performing sector in the benchmark and the Fund maintained an underweight allocation, thereby detracting from relative returns. Although no single stock was a standout detractor, Japanese television broadcasting station TV Asahi Corp., was the largest detractor within the sector. Many of the Fund’s holdings in the sector are concentrated in Japan, and the continued anemic capital market conditions in that country contributed to the underperformance.

French aerospace systems and industrial electronics manufacturer Thales S.A. (“Thales”) was the largest individual detractor in the Fund for the period. The company’s share price declined notably in mid-February after the company reported fiscal year 2009 earnings results below many analyst expectations and issued a cautious outlook for 2010. Shares continued to decline through early September, possibly due to investor concerns in regards to defense cuts. Thales is a top defense electronics company with leading positions in most of its businesses and despite the share price weakness, we believe the company’s long-term fundamentals, as well as its intrinsic value, remain the same.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe that the sustainability of the market’s recent rally is suspect due to many factors. Trading volumes are lower, fund flows for U.S. equity mutual funds are negative, and we cannot ignore the synchronous movement in many asset classes. Economic fundamentals for most of the developed world suggest an anemic recovery, questions remain about the health of the financial system, and the term “currency wars” is cited on a daily basis in news periodicals as governments grapple with protecting their economic interests. While a “currency war” may not come to fruition, in our opinion, political posturing will serve to increase global tensions and provide fertile ground for volatility. We firmly believe that volatility provides opportunity. We continue to believe that sovereign debt is generally overvalued and the returns on cash will do little to preserve purchasing power. We believe equities should still reward investors that are willing to understand the fundamentals of a company’s business. As always, we will apply rigorous fundamental research, question assumptions and invest our client’s money for long-term capital appreciation.

ING Asia-Pacific Real Estate Fund (“Asia-Pacific Real Estate” or the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is managed by T. Ritson Ferguson, Chief Investment Officer, CFA and Steven D. Burton, Managing Director, CFA, both of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 18.68% compared to the S&P Asia-Pacific Property Index which returned 17.12% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The past twelve months have been a period of positive total returns for Asia-Pacific real estate stocks, which advanced as improving capital market conditions and improving economic conditions have benefited investors. In most Asia-Pacific markets, with the exception of Japan, economic growth continues to meet and in some cases exceed its long-term average growth rate. As a result, central bankers in most Asia-Pacific markets are beginning to show a bias toward tightening. Additionally, the central governments of China and Singapore have introduced austerity measures designed to slow the appreciation of their residential markets.

The Fund outperformed its benchmark during the period as the result of stock selection, which was positive in all markets except Hong Kong. Fund holdings in Singapore and Australia accounted for the majority of the relative outperformance. Stock selection in Japan also added value. Country selection decisions detracted modestly from relative performance as the benefit of an underweight to the underperforming Japanese market was more than offset by an overweight to the underperforming Australian, Hong Kong and Singapore markets.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund continues to maintain a bias toward what we believe are high-quality companies. We remain overweight sectors which stand to benefit from an economic recovery, including the shorter lease length sectors as well as certain office markets in the region. We remain underweight property types which conversely react more slowly to economic recovery. Our outlook remains predicated on the assumption of gradual but steady global economic growth.

We believe that the rationale for an Asia-Pacific listed property strategy remains very much intact including diversification via low long-term correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive current yield, reasonable valuations and the continued, gradual spread of the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure globally. We expect that real estate fundamentals will, as in the past, reflect improving economic conditions on a lagged basis as a result of the underlying lease structures. We continue to believe listed property companies are well-positioned to grow cash flow per share on a sustained basis in the current economic environment and are trading at reasonable valuations. Through an approximate 3% dividend yield, fundamentals which appear to be bottoming and access to the capital markets, we believe property stocks should be well-positioned to deliver modestly attractive total returns over the next several years.

ING Emerging Countries Fund (“Emerging Countries” or the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Guy Uding, Patrick den Besten and Eric Anderson, Portfolio Managers of ING Investment Management Advisors, B.V. (“IIMA”) — the Sub-Adviser.*

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 22.17%, compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM (“MSCI EM IndexSM”), which returned 23.56% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Over the fiscal year, emerging markets generally outperformed developed markets, driven by a global search for yield. During April 2010, markets came under significant pressure — particularly in Central and Eastern Europe driven by increased sovereign debt fears in response to the fiscal problems in Greece. Emerging markets recovered after investors realized that sovereign risks were concentrated in the “PIIGS” countries (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) and corporate and government balance sheets in emerging markets were sound.

The combination of an ongoing global economic recovery, loose monetary policy and the additional tailwind of the second round of quantitative easing provided a benign backdrop for global equities. Strong economic growth numbers from China supported commodity prices. This also supported the currencies of commodity exporting countries.

The Fund’s performance lagged the benchmark for the period. Until June 2010, the Fund predominantly focused on three key investment themes: 1) a high level of risk appetite among investors; 2) strong commodity prices; and 3) demand-driven, domestic growth in many emerging markets. The Fund played the risk appetite theme by means of overweight positions in high-risk, Eastern European markets such as Hungary, Poland and Turkey, which were hit by sovereign fears. Overweight positions in commodity exporting countries such as Indonesia, Russia and Brazil reflected the commodity theme.

The domestic demand theme was incorporated through overweight positions in China, Egypt and Peru. The Fund stayed underweight in the more defensive markets of Malaysia and Chile. After June, performance picked up as the Fund increased focus more towards the traditional “BRIC” economies (Brazil, Russia, Indian and China). The Fund added to Chinese commodity related stocks, increased exposure to India by adding to financials (public banks) and reduced consumer underweights in South Korea and Malaysia at the expense of Central and Eastern Europe and South Africa.

During the period the Fund was overweight energy, consumer discretionary and consumer staples, which we believe is the best way to play the domestic demand theme. The middle class population is growing rapidly in many emerging countries and, with real wages growing, is becoming an increasingly important driver of economic growth. We funded the overweight positions by underweighting defensive sectors such as health care, telecommunications and utilities.

Country selection hurt performance while stock picking helped. The Fund’s relative performance was hurt by the strong performance of small markets while big markets like China and Brazil lagged, but the relative losses from the Fund’s overweights in those markets were more than offset by favorable stock selection. Sector allocation was a net detractor from results, but security selection contributed strongly, particularly in the consumer discretionary, energy and industrials sectors. Selection detracted in telecommunications services and financials. Stocks that contributed significantly to results included Pacific Rubiales, Kia Motors Corp., Chinese web search engine Baidu Inc. and OGX. The biggest detractors included Itau Unibanco Banco Multiplo S.A. in Brazil, America Movil S.A.B. de C.V. of Mexico, OTP Bank NyRt of Hungary and Petrobras Petroleo Brasileiro.

Current Strategy & Outlook: We believe the fundamental backdrop for emerging markets remains strong and will remain one of the important drivers of the global economy. With regard to regions, the Fund is neutral; it is overweight the BRIC countries as they are more consumption driven and is underweight the generally cyclical countries such as Taiwan and Korea. The Fund does not have large sector exposures and retains a more cyclical bias in terms of sectors.

 
 
 

Currently we see four important themes: under-penetration of financial services, the strengthening of domestic consumers, fixed asset investments and increasing demand for commodities. The under-penetration of financial services is particularly obvious in Indonesia, Turkey, Russia and Peru and we have selected companies like Sberbank of Russian Federation, Turkiye Garanti Bankasi A.S., Bank Mandiri Persero TBK PT and Banco Do Brasil S.A. On the consumer theme, the Fund has focused on names likes X5 Retail Group N.V. in Russia, the Brazilian homebuilders like Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A., Kia, and China Yurun Food Group Ltd. For fixed asset investment, we focus on machinery and equipment companies such as Lonking Holdings Ltd and Samsung Engineering.

Commodity demand has led the Fund to invest in energy exploration and production companies such as OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes SA and Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp.

ING European Real Estate Fund (“European Real Estate” or the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with high total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income. 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, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 13.00% compared to the S&P Europe Property Index, which returned 10.87% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The past twelve months have been a period of positive total returns for European real estate stocks, which advanced, due primarily to improving conditions in the capital markets, which have benefited investors. Mixed economic news continues to remind investors that patience will be required in this recovery as growth rates in many markets will remain challenged as economists are forecasting economic growth in the European region to fall short of average long-term growth rates. Markets have benefited from the better than expected results of the bank stress tests this summer as well as the release of the Basel III standards, which give banks the better part of the decade to meet the new capital requirements.

In addition to strong absolute returns, the Fund outperformed the benchmark for the period as the result of strong stock selection, which was most pronounced in the U.K., Dutch, French and Austrian markets and accounted for the majority of relative outperformance. Stock selection in Germany and Switzerland also added value during the period.

Relative performance was tempered by sub-par country allocation decisions as an underweight to the outperforming Swedish and Swiss markets along with an overweight to the underperforming U.K. market hindered relative performance during the period.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund continues to maintain a bias toward what we believe are high-quality companies as we remain cautious on the region on expectations for sub-par economic growth as well as potential headwinds that, in our opinion, will likely be encountered as sovereign debt issues will need to be addressed with more persistence. By property type, we remain overweight sectors and geographies which stand best-positioned to benefit from an economic recovery, including the shorter lease length sectors as well as certain office markets, primarily London. We remain underweight property types which conversely react more slowly to economic recovery. We prefer companies that we believe offer more transparency, strong balance sheets and good, experienced management teams. This focus on quality has driven our longer-term outperformance.

We believe that the investment rationale for a European listed property strategy remains very much intact including diversification via low long-term correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive current yield, reasonable valuations and the continued, gradual spread of the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure globally. We expect that real estate fundamentals will, as in the past, reflect improving economic conditions on a lagged basis as a result of the underlying lease structures. We continue to believe listed property companies are well-positioned to grow cash flow per share on a sustained basis in the current economic environment and are trading at reasonable valuations. Through an approximate 4% dividend yield, fundamentals which appear to be bottoming and access to the capital markets, we believe property stocks should be well-positioned to deliver modestly attractive total returns over the next several years.

ING Global Opportunities Fund (“Global Opportunities” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is managed by Tycho van Wijk, Dirk-Jan Verzuu and Tjeert Keijzer, Portfolio Managers, of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.*

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 9.49% compared to the MSCI All Country World IndexSM, which returned 14.10% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Artio Global Management LLC (for the period from October 31, 2009 through June 30, 2010) — During the period, the Fund’s Class A shares had a return of (7.32)%, underperforming the (6.21)% return for its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index. Broadly speaking, country and stock selection within emerging markets had a negative impact on returns while sector allocation decisions within developed markets had a positive impact. Cash and currency decisions had a positive impact, particularly the decision to hedge a portion of the euro back into the U.S. dollar. The period witnessed bouts of extreme market volatility as the sovereign debt crisis and worries over European bank stress tests took center stage. Concerns by investors over the long-term viability of the euro were a contributing factor to volatility, with the euro declining versus the US dollar into the early part of June. Within emerging markets, financial positions in China, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland underperformed. While the Fund’s overweight to the Ukraine proved positive, it was not enough to offset the financials positioning. The Fund’s continued underweight to Japan detracted as did stock selection. On a positive note, within developed markets, stock selection within materials along with the Fund’s overweight to this sector contributed to performance. In particular, gold-related positions as well as other mining companies exhibited strong returns over the review period. Finally, the Fund’s underweight to BP PLC, one of the largest components of the benchmark, proved beneficial as the stock suffered severe declines during the heat of the oil spill disaster.

ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. (for the period from June 30, 2010 through October 31, 2010) During the period, the Fund’s Class A shares had a return of 18.14%, slightly underperforming the 18.47% return for its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World IndexSM. Macroeconomic headlines dominated many of the world stock markets during the Fund’s fiscal year. Emerging economies outpaced the developed world at the beginning of the fiscal period. In response, investors left the “safe haven” of U.S. Treasury debt and embraced riskier assets. However, in spring 2010 the world saw the sovereign debt crisis unfold in Western Europe. This caused a flight to quality and the U.S. dollar became a safer bet. As governments and central banks helped to rectify the situation, risky assets provided investors with positive returns. Against the backdrop of easy monetary policy, the U. S. dollar weakened and investors benefited from placing their assets overseas.

The investment process aims to identify a sufficient number of attractive global investment themes and to diversify investments across these themes to support a balanced risk/return profile of the overall portfolio. The Fund’s “Digital Revolution” theme has added the most to results. U.S. information technology (IT) company Citrix Systems Inc. was the best performer in the portfolio. The company is active in our sub-theme “virtualization.” NetApp Inc. was another strong performer in this theme. The “Economic Growth” theme staged a comeback as equity markets rose again. UK mining company Xstrata PLC and Brazilian agricultural play SLC Agricola S.A. benefited from the rally in commodities. In the same theme, Chinese agricultural group Chaoda Modern Agriculture (Holdings) Ltd. was the largest underperformer. The company surprised the market announcing a U.S. $356 million rights offering to expand growth. Burger King Holdings Inc. was a strong performer in the “Changes in consumer behavior” theme. The share price jumped when private equity firm 3G Capital bid for the company.

During the period we added to the Fund’s Citigroup Inc. position, as we believe the regulatory environment for financials has improved. Global support for banks from governments is an important sub-theme of our “Social and Political change” theme. We sold the Fund’s position in Australian investment bank Macquarie Group Ltd. which suffered from senior level resignations. In August BHP Billiton Ltd. launched a bid for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. We subsequently sold Potash as the bid represented a significant premium to the share prior price. We added Kurita Water Industries Ltd. from Japan to the “Environmental Change” theme. We believe this expert in water treatment systems will benefit from strong demand for water equipment in Taiwan, China and Korea. In the same theme we bought a position in Veeco Instruments Inc., a supplier of technology for LED and solar technology producers and related industries. LED technology is a more energy-efficient way of producing light and is a sub-theme of the main “Environmental Change” theme. In October we took profit in food and household goods producer Procter & Gamble Co. Although we like the company’s exposure within our Economic Growth theme, we believe we can find similar exposure at lower valuations elsewhere. We also sold U.S. retailer Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. on concerns about slowing U.S. consumption. The Fund added Mexican construction company Empresas ICA to the Economic Growth theme. The company builds houses, dams, highways and other infrastructure related buildings. Estimates for infrastructure spending in Latin-America range from $600 billion to almost $1 trillion in the next five years. We believe the Mexican government is committed to infrastructure investing and Empresas should benefit from that. The Fund participated in the initial public offering of AIA Group Ltd., an insurance company with business in numerous Asian countries. Insurance penetration in Asia is still relatively low and we expect a secular growth path for the coming years.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe that our main investment themes represent the most important forces driving companies and economies. On a sub-theme level, we expect shifts over the course of the year, mostly within emerging markets. We believe that the level of self-sustained economic growth and prosperity in emerging markets will increase. Therefore, we will shift our attention to local, domestic drivers of growth, particularly in Asia. Initially we expect political forces to drive this trend although broader social change could enhance it later. We believe this social change will be most visible in consumer behavior. In developed markets we expect that technology will play an ever greater role in both the industrial and service economies. Multiple factors drive this trend: pressures to increase efficiency and lower costs, the push for a cleaner environment and demographic shifts that will affect working populations in many countries.

China’s gross domestic product growth peaked at 11.9% year-over-year (“YoY”) in the first quarter of 2010 and slowed down to 9.6% YoY in the third quarter of 2010 due to government tightening policies, such as raising bank reserve requirements and property market measures. The renminbi started to strengthen in June after trading in a narrow band for two years. The Chinese government also launched a pilot scheme to promote the use of offshore renminbi as a settlement and investment currency in the region. The Hong Kong market performed strongly during the period thanks to the recovery in its property sector, while the Hong Kong dollar peg to the U.S. dollar led to rising asset price expectations. Taiwan’s stock market also performed well. China-related plays, such as airlines and tourism stocks, performed well due to the influx of Chinese tourists into Taiwan.

The Fund’s stock selection in the consumer discretionary and financial sectors worked well, since those sectors were the prime beneficiaries of rising domestic demand. Stock selection in industrials also worked well, where companies with cost advantages were able to continue to gain share in overseas markets. Selection in energy detracted from results. Also, an underweight of consumer staples and an overweight of financials hurt performance. The consumer staples sector was trading at high valuations; despite that, the favorable consumption theme in China continued to attract new money inflows and the Fund’s underweight thus hurt performance.

The Fund’s off-benchmark position in Chow Sang Sang Holdings International Ltd., a high-end jewelry retailer, made the largest single contribution to portfolio results, thanks to strong demand from Chinese customers. Yanzhou Coal Mining Co. Ltd. also benefited the Fund. The company reported stronger than expected results after an acquisition in Australia and an accounting earnings boost from the rising Australian dollar. An underweight of Bank of China Ltd. and an overweight of its subsidiary BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Ltd. also worked well as these companies were beneficiaries of the renminbi internationalization theme. The Fund’s off-benchmark positions in Real Gold Mining Ltd. and Zhaojin Mining Industry Co. Ltd. benefited Fund results thanks to stronger gold prices.

Significant detractors for the period included the Fund’s off-benchmark positions in Glorious Property Holdings Ltd. and New Environmental Energy Holdings Ltd., overweights of Jiangxi Copper Co. Ltd. and Lite-On Technology Corp., lack of exposure to Belle International Holdings Ltd. and an underweight of Tencent Holdings Ltd. The Chinese property sector faced policy headwinds, which hurt Glorious Property. The information technology sector in Taiwan suffered from the lackluster global economic environment, which negatively impacted stocks such as Lite-On Technology.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe the Chinese market may continue to offer better growth opportunities than the developed world given its solid economic performance. We do not expect aggressive rate hikes in China — external markets are still concerned that overly ambitious tightening may pressure the renminbi upward. The renminbi internationalization theme continues to strengthen with development in the foreign-exchange and bond markets. In our opinion, the rising renminbi should also be beneficial to the offshore listed Chinese stocks such as the H shares and red chips. We are also positive on selected mid-cap retail stocks, as we believe demand from Chinese consumers is likely to be sustained. Finally, we are still positive on selected gold mining companies that we believe will benefit from strong gold prices.

We believe asset appreciation will continue in Hong Kong given its currency peg to the U.S. dollar. In Taiwan, we continue to like cross-strait beneficiaries such as hotels, retail and transportation companies. Given the less positive outlook for the technology sector, we remain underweight Taiwan in favor of other domestic focused markets in Greater China.

ING Index Plus International Equity Fund (“Index Plus International Equity” or the “Fund”) seeks to outperform the total return performance of the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index (“MSCI EAFE® Index”) while maintaining a market level of risk. The Fund is managed by Pranay Gupta and Vincent Costa, Portfolio Managers, both of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub Adviser.*

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 9.17% compared to the MSCI EAFE® Index, which returned 8.36% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s strategy is designed to add value to the MSCI EAFE® Index through bottom-up security selection on the basis of customized sector models while maintaining approximate benchmark weights of regions/countries, sectors and industries represented in the benchmark. The Fund is rebalanced monthly to maintain the desired tilt to stocks ranking well in the individual sectors and industries represented in the benchmark.

For the reporting period, valuation factors were effective in Asia, but not so in Europe. Momentum and quality factors were effective in Europe, but this was not the case in Asia.

The Fund’s outperformance for the reporting period was due to security selection. Stock selection in Europe was a positive for the Fund, particularly in the energy and industrials sectors. Underweights in BP PLC and Total SA helped performance, along with overweights in capital goods stocks such as Wartsila Oyj and Atlas Copco AB. These gains were somewhat offset in Europe by poor selection in the consumer discretionary and telecommunications sectors.

In Asia, stocks selection was also a positive. Consumer discretionary and industrials were the best performing sectors here. Strong selection in retail, including stocks such as Jardine Cycle & Carriage Ltd. and USS Co. Ltd. benefited results. Exposure to capital goods producers was a positive for performance, including overweights in Itochu Corp. and Sumitomo Corp. Selection in the materials and technology sectors was negative for Asia. Sector allocation was not a significant contributor to performance

Current Strategy and Outlook: By design, the Fund maintains approximate benchmark weights of the regions, economic sectors, and industries constituting the MSCI EAFE® Index and is expected to track the benchmark relatively closely. Stock selection flows from the in-sector/industry ranking models. Portfolio construction and risk control are utilized to attempt to ensure the characteristics of the Fund stay within an acceptable band around the benchmark. Our most attractively ranked stocks may have overweights of up to half a percentage point above their weightings in the index; for risk control purposes the maximum allowable underweight per security is half a percentage point below its weighting in the index.

ING International Capital Appreciation Fund (“International Capital Appreciation” or 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, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 11.63%, compared to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) Index SM (“MSCI ACWI ex-USSM”), which returned 12.62% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: International equity markets enjoyed positive absolute returns over the past year. The Fund, despite posting positive absolute returns, underperformed the MSCI ACWI ex-USSM Index during the year ending October 31, 2010. The majority of the Fund’s underperformance was driven by security selection.

According to attribution, the industrials, financials and consumer discretionary sectors were the largest detractors over the past year, due primarily to negative security selection. Within the industrials sector, global wind turbine manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems A/S and Japanese battery maker and diesel particulate filter manufacturer NGK Insulators Ltd. were the largest detractors from relative performance. Within the financials sector, Canadian insurance company Manulife Financial Corp. was the largest detractor followed by French insurer AXA S.A. The information technology and healthcare sectors were the largest contributors over the past year due primarily to positive security selection. Within the information technology sector, UK technology company, ARM Holdings PLC was the largest contributor to performance as the introduction of new tablet devices spurred demand expectations for ARM processors. Within the healthcare sector, Novo-Nordisk was a large contributor to performance as the company continued to capitalize on opportunities.

Attribution indicates that from a regional perspective, North America (Canada), emerging markets and Pacific ex-Japan were detractors from relative performance, primarily due to security selection. Within emerging markets, oil giant Petroleo Brasileiros S.A. and Chinese infrastructure company China Communications Construction Co. Ltd. detracted from relative performance. Within the Pacific ex-Japan region, apparel retailer Esprit Holdings Ltd. detracted from performance. Europe was the largest contributor to relative performance due to positive stock selection in the region. Stocks that contributed to the positive performance in Europe included mobile phone operator Millicom International Cellular S.A. and German poly-silicon producer Wacker Chemie AG.

Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, economic prospects are poised to improve during the next several years led by emerging markets, which may potentially drive overall global economic growth. We are still favorably disposed towards international equities. From a strategic perspective we remain constructive on emerging market equities. Uncertainties still remain, such as sovereign risk and slowing economic growth in the developed world. As always, we remain focused on company specific opportunities and overall portfolio positioning is reflective of those individual decisions in the context of our overall macro, sector and regional risk controls.

 
 
 

We continue to actively pursue a disciplined, consistent approach that seeks to select stocks from what we believe are high quality companies with strong secular growth profiles and compelling competitive advantages. We believe the Fund is well positioned to capitalize on good growth opportunities over the coming year.

ING International Real Estate Fund (“International Real Estate” or 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, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 12.46% compared to the S&P Developed ex-US Property Index which returned 16.38% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The past twelve months have been a period of positive total returns for international real estate stocks, which have advanced as improving capital market conditions and economic conditions continue to benefit investors. Asia-Pacific property stocks posted the best performance over the past twelve months, followed by the European region. Mixed macro-economic news continues to remind investors that patience will be required in this recovery. In most Asia-Pacific markets, economic growth will likely meet or exceed its long-term average growth rates, while growth rates in many Western markets will remain challenged as economists are forecasting economic growth in many European markets to fall short of average long-term growth rates. This has led to a bifurcation of central bank policies as policy in the Western economies continues to be accommodative, while central bankers in most Asia-Pacific markets are beginning to show a bias toward tightening.

While absolute returns were strong during the period, the Fund lagged its benchmark as the result of both country allocation and stock selection decisions. The timing of country allocation decisions has hurt relative performance as an overweight to the underperforming Hong Kong market during the first quarter of 2010 as well as an overweight to the underperforming U.K. property market were the primary drivers of the allocation shortfall. An underweight to outperforming continental Europe during the third quarter also contributed to the relative lag. Stock selection also hampered relative returns during the period, primarily in the Asia-Pacific region as stock selection in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore was a drag on performance. In Japan, an overweight exposure to the underperforming Tokyo majors (Mitsubishi Estate, Mitsui Fudosan and Sumitomo Realty) also hurt performance during the period. In Singapore, a modest overweight to underperforming Capitaland, Ltd. accounted for most of the relative underperformance. In Europe, fund positions in French retail companies detracted from relative performance during the period.

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund continues to be positioned with a positive bias to the Asia-Pacific region and a cautious stance towards property companies in Europe, which we believe will continue to lag despite the outperformance in the third quarter of 2010. By property type, we remain overweight sectors which we believe stand to benefit from an economic recovery, including the shorter lease length sectors as well as certain office markets in the Asia-Pacific region. We remain underweight property types which conversely react more slowly to economic recovery. Our outlook remains predicated on the assumption of gradual but steady global economic growth.

We believe that the rationale for an international listed property strategy remains very much intact including diversification via low long-term correlation to broad equities and bonds, attractive current yield, reasonable valuations and the continued, gradual spread of the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure globally. We expect that real estate fundamentals will, as in the past, reflect improving economic conditions on a lagged basis as a result of the underlying lease structures. We continue to believe listed property companies are well-positioned to grow cash flow per share on a sustained basis in the current economic environment and are trading at reasonable valuations. Through an average 3 to 4% dividend yield, fundamentals which appear to be bottoming and access to the capital markets, we believe international property stocks should be well-positioned to deliver modestly attractive total returns over the next several years.

The outlook for this Fund may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

ING International SmallCap Multi-Manager Fund (“International SmallCap Multi-Manager or the ”Fund“) seeks maximum long term capital appreciation. Effective January 27, 2010, the Fund’s assets are managed by two sub-advisers — Acadian Asset Management LLC (”Acadian“) and Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (”Schroders“). Each manages a portion of the Fund’s assets that is allocated to the sub-adviser.* The following individuals are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of their respective portions of the Fund: John R. Chisholm, CFA, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Investment Officer, Constantine P. Papageorgiou, CFA, Vice President, Brian K. Wolahan, CFA, and Qi R. Zeng, CFA, Senior Vice President, all Portfolio Managers of Acadian**, and Matthew Dobbs, Portfolio Manager of Schroders.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 20.85% compared to the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index and the S&P Euro-Pacific Asia Composite (”EPAC“) SmallCap Index, which returned 17.21% and 14.53%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Acadian Sleeve(1) — The fund outperformed the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index by approximately 9.81%. during a volatile period which ultimately rewarded risk-oriented assets, particularly those in emerging markets. The fund saw outperformance at both the country and the stock level. Significant return came from allocations to several emerging markets, including India, China, Thailand and Taiwan. There was also active return at the stock level, with portfolio holdings in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and Hong Kong all achieving returns higher than the benchmark. Partly offsetting these results, there was some value detracted by investments in the U.K. and Canada (stock selection and country underweightings), as well as Japan (stock selection and country overweighting) and Australia (stock selection). For the fund as a whole, stock selection was most successful in consumer discretionary, information technology and financial stocks, and least successful in materials and staples. Among the top-contributing holdings for the year were the Dutch technology company OCE NV, the Chinese consumer firm Skyworth Digital Holdings Ltd., the Hong Kong consumer company Luk Fook Holdings International, Ltd. and the Indian bank, Canara Bank. Top detractors included Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. in Japan and Home Retail Group in the U.K. Active sector weights arose from bottom-up stock selection and had only a small impact (positive) on portfolio active return. Batterymarch Sleeve(1) — The fund outperformed the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index by approximately 0.89% on a gross(2) basis for the portion of the period during which we managed assets (through January 27). During this period the market rewarded stocks with broader fundamentals rather than just cheapness, as was the case earlier in 2009. This environment favored our investment process which is based on broad fundamentals. Stock selection added value in continental Europe, most notably in the information technology and energy sectors, but was more mixed in the U.K. and Japan where stock selection in the information technology sector detracted. An overweight to the commodity-driven markets of Australia, New Zealand & Canada added value, as those markets collectively had the best return in the benchmark for the period. Schroders Sleeve(1) — International equity markets continued to make progress over the twelve month period, with smaller companies leading the way in most regions. Smaller company stocks were particularly strong versus larger peers in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, but they lagged in Japan. The strongest sectors were materials, telecommunications and information technology, while financials, health care and utilities performed less well. The Fund outperformed the S&P EPAC SmallCap Index by approximately 3.4% over the period. Relative returns have been strong, primarily thanks to strong stock selection in continental Europe (particularly in the industrial, energy and financial sectors), the United Kingdom (consumer staples and energy) and in Japan (industrials and materials). Regional allocation has been a modest positive in the period due to our overweighting in Pacific ex Japan (even though stock selection was slightly behind in that region) and the underweight in Japan.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Acadian Sleeve(1) — We believe it is likely that financial markets will continue to alternate between risk-averse and risk-seeking regimes over the near term as the outlook for economic growth in key markets remains uncertain. A notable risk to global equity markets is the potential for economic stalling in the U.S. Overall, we see better macroeconomic and capital market conditions in non-U.S. markets relative to the U.S. and we expect these markets to present more attractive asset allocation opportunities over the near- to medium term. We see the emerging markets in particular as a key source of economic growth and strengthening fundamentals. Current positioning, driven largely by bottom-up stock selection, includes overweighted allocations to India, Japan, Taiwan, Germany, Belgium, China, Thailand and Singapore. There is less active emphasis on the U.K., Australia, Switzerland, France, Korea and Spain. Schroders Sleeve(1) — Our focus has continued to be upon identifying companies offering what we believe are sustainable and relatively visible growth prospects, with sound balance sheets and strong management. We continue to identify many companies fitting these criteria across the different regions, and while many holdings have reached our assessment of fair value, we have found other opportunities to recycle the proceeds. Regional allocations have changed modestly over the period. We remain relatively positive on smaller Asia ex Japan and emerging markets, though have switched some exposure from the former to the latter. Elsewhere, reductions in exposure to Japan and continental Europe have funded additions to the United Kingdom where we felt the prospect of fiscal retrenchment has been increasingly discounted and there have been encouraging signs of a revival in mergers and acquisition activity.

ING International Value Fund (“International Value” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by two sub-advisers — Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (“Brandes”) and ING Investment Management Co. (“ING IM”). Each manages a portion of the Fund’s assets that is allocated to the sub-adviser. The following people are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Fund: Glenn R. Carlson, CFA, Chief Executive Officer, Brent V. Woods, CFA, Managing Director — Investments, Amelia Maccoun Morris, CFA, Director — Investments, W. James Brown, CFA, Director — Investments, Brent Fredberg, Senior Analyst and Jeffrey Germain, Analyst, comprise the voting members of Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee; Philip A. Schwartz, John Pairaktaridis and Joseph Vultaggio are the Portfolio Managers for ING IM.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 5.78% compared to the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index (“MSCI EAFE® Index”), which returned 8.36% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Brandes Sleeve(1) — The fund underperformed the MSCI EAFE® Index by approximately 1.03% for the one year ended October 31, 2010. Looking at positive contributors over the trailing twelve months, the fund’s positions in the diversified telecommunication services, food & staples retailing, electronic equipment, instruments & components, and pharmaceuticals industries tended to advance. Positions from these industries experiencing the strongest share price appreciation included Portugal Telecom SGPS S.A. (Portugal — diversified telecommunication services), Carrefour S.A. (France — food & staples retailing), Tyco Electronics Group S.A. (Switzerland — electronic equipment, instruments & components), and AstraZeneca PLC (United Kingdom — pharmaceuticals). Conversely, the fund’s exposure to declining share prices within the commercial banks industry negatively impacted performance. Some of the largest detractors from this industry included falling share prices for Mizuho Financial Group, Inc. (Japan — commercial banks) and Credit Agricole S.A. (France — commercial banks).

From a country perspective, gains for positions based in the United Kingdom and Switzerland tended to have the greatest positive impact on performance. Marks & Spencer Group PLC (United Kingdom — multiline retail), ITV PLC (United Kingdom — media), and Swiss Reinsurance (Switzerland — insurance) were among the standout performers based in these countries. Looking at contributions from other countries, holdings based in Brazil, France, and Germany also proved favorable to performance, including share price appreciation for companies such as Portugal Telecom SGPS S.A. (Portugal — diversified telecommunication services), Deutsche Telekom AG (Germany — diversified telecommunication services), Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras S.A. (Brazil — electric utilities), and France Telecom S.A. (France — diversified telecommunication services). Individual positions with negative performance included Aegon NV (Netherlands — insurance) and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (Japan — commercial banks).

Despite gains made during the year, the fund underperformed the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index. This relative underperformance was primarily due to the Fund’s stock selection in the commercial banks industry and in Japan. In addition, the Fund’s lack of exposure to the metals and mining industry also detracted from relative performance as this industry experienced strong performance over the last year. Conversely, stock selection in the diversified telecommunication services industry positively contributed to relative performance.

As of October 31, 2010, the fund’s most substantial country weightings were in Japan and the United Kingdom. On an industry basis, the fund’s largest exposure was in diversified telecommunication services.

ING IM Sleeve(1) — The fund underperformed the MSCI EAFE® Index by approximately 5.11% for the one year ended October 31, 2010. Macroeconomic headlines dominated many of the world stock markets during the past twelve months. A wide swath of concerns plagued investors, highlighted by European sovereign debt woes. As governments and central banks helped to rectify the situation, coupled with stimulative measures from the United States, riskier assets provided investors with a positive return. Against the backdrop of easy monetary policy, the U.S. dollar weakened considerably. Thus, investors benefitted from placing their assets overseas.

The fund underperformed its benchmark due to a combination of weak security selection and negative sector allocation. Weak selection was spread among a number of sectors, including materials, consumer staples, industrials and health care. Negative selection was most prevalent in the materials sector. By contrast, strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector, particularly automotive stocks; along with positive selection in utilities and telecommunication services helped to mitigate the losses. On a regional level, an underweight of Japan and an overweight to non-benchmark North America (Canada) added significant value. On the flip side, weak selection in Japan and Europe detracted from the fund’s results.

Volkswagen AG (“Volkswagen”), Dongfeng Motor Group Co. Ltd. (“Dongfeng”) and Bombardier Inc. (“Bombardier”) were among the performance leaders during the reporting period. Volkswagen and Dongfeng both benefitted from improving Chinese auto demand. Bombardier outperformed as new orders for its C series aircraft helped to drive the stock’s price.

The leading detractors for the year included: Chaoda Modern Agriculture (Holdings) Ltd. (“Chaoda”), Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and CGG Veritas. CGG Veritas, an oilfield services company that principally provides geophysical services and information, was hurt by the BP oil spill during the second quarter of 2010. Chaoda underperformed due to a surprise and highly dilutive equity raise-up in August.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Brandes Sleeve(1) As a result of our company-by-company analysis, we made adjustments to select existing positions within the fund during the year. We sold select holdings when their stock prices reached our estimates of intrinsic value or to pursue what we believed to be more attractive opportunities. Among the positions we sold were XL Capital Ltd. (Bermuda — insurance), Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (United Kingdom — commercial banks), and British Sky Broadcasting (United Kingdom — media). We also established new positions in companies such as ENI S.p.A. (Italy — oil, gas, & consumable fuels), Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Brazil — oil, gas and consumable fuels), and Toyota Motor Corp. (Japan — automobiles) at prices that we consider compelling. In addition, we took advantage of prices we consider attractive by adding to select existing holdings. 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 continue to believe that holdings may be undervalued and consequently could appreciate if our assessment of their true worth is ultimately recognized by the market.

 

ING IM Sleeve(1) — With the world economy on the mend, highlighted by strong purchasing manager index reports and robust growth in developing nations, we remain bullish on equities for the intermediate term. A clear bifurcation of policies has manifested itself, with one camp (Europe) enacting austerity measures, while the other (United States) has continued with monetary easing. As a result, the euro has strengthened considerably versus the U.S. dollar. Against this backdrop we have added to our emerging markets exposure, while reducing our exposure to European exporters.

ING International Value Choice Fund (“International Value Choice” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Peter Boardman and Alberto Jimenez Crespo, Portfolio Managers of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 13.95% compared to the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East® Index (“MSCI EAFE® Index”), which returned 8.36% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The largest contributor to relative returns was the financials sector, to which the Fund maintains an underweight allocation compared to the benchmark. Even with the underweight position, the securities held in the Fund outperformed those of the benchmark. Axis Capital Holdings Ltd. (“Axis”) was the top performer in the sector. Axis is an insurance and reinsurance company, which beat expected returns for two consecutive quarters. The strong second quarter earnings report was partially due to lower claims costs, while third quarter results were supported by increased underwriting gains and higher net investment income.

The Fund’s second largest contributor to relative returns during the period and the top performer in the benchmark was the materials sector. The Fund maintained an overweight allocation in this sector, with holdings concentrated mainly in precious metals companies and more specifically, in gold-related holdings. With the strong performance of gold during the period, which reached new highs, the Fund’s returns benefited accordingly. Barrick Gold Corp., the world’s largest gold company in terms of market capitalization, annual production and reserves, reported earnings that were ahead of estimates for two quarters. The second quarter report beat estimates due to lower than expected exploration and depreciation expenses. The strong earnings report for the third quarter was additionally supported by higher than expected production.

The largest detractor to returns was the industrials sector. French aerospace systems and industrial electronics manufacturer Thales S.A.’s (“Thales”) share price declined notably in mid-February after the company reported fiscal year 2009 earnings results below many analyst expectations and issued a cautious outlook for 2010. Shares continued to decline through early September with investors being concerned with defense cuts. In addition, the underperformance can be partially attributed to the company’s inflated cost structure. Thales is a top defense electronics company with leading positions in most of its businesses and despite the share price weakness, we believe the company’s long-term fundamentals, as well as its intrinsic value, remain the same.

Consumer staples was the second largest detractor to returns, with one of the Fund’s holdings, Coca-Cola West Holdings Co. Ltd. (“Coca-Cola West”), being the largest individual detractor to the Fund. Coca-Cola West, Japan’s largest Coke bottler, reported that its first half fiscal year 2010 revenue was down due to a decline in volume in vending machines located in factories, offices and large retail stores. A high cost structure and overall weakness in the Japanese market also hindered Coca-Cola West’s performance.

Current Strategy and Outlook: While we believe that the sustainability of the recent rally is suspect due to lower trading volumes and questions regarding the economic strength of many countries, we are firm believers that volatility brings opportunity. We believe that the rapid decline in the U.S. dollar during the end of the period has been one factor in creating investable opportunities. The strength in the yen versus the dollar has driven the share prices of some global exporters to compelling levels. Continued withdrawals from US and some European equity funds also emphasized the importance of investors willing to understand the fundamentals of a company’s business and recognize a dislocation between a company’s intrinsic value and the market’s collective assessment of that value. As always, we will apply rigorous fundamental research, question assumptions and attempt to invest our client’s money for long-term capital appreciation.

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

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 23.67% compared to the Russia Trading System (“RTS”) Index and the MSCI Russia 10/40 Index, which returned 18.85% and 23.67%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Russian equity market was driven up by the momentum of the global economic recovery in late 2009 and early 2010, with additional impetus from external factors like the weak U.S. dollar and strong dollar-denominated commodities prices. Unfortunately, Russia’s sensitivity to external factors such as global risk appetite, global growth, perceptions about the strength of the Chinese economy and the commodity prices themselves has also brought on sharp pullbacks in Russian equities.

It could be said that economic recovery in Russia has been a disappointment, especially compared to the recovery seen in other emerging countries. Bank lending continued to fall until the middle of this year and has only started to show a slight recovery since. The commercial and office real estate markets remain in a slump and only in the undersupplied residential market do we see a pickup in activity. This has led to weaker than expected demand for construction steel, meaning long steel capacity utilization remains low. Flat steel and slabs on the other hand, used in the building of pipelines and autos, have seen a stronger recovery as the government supported the auto sector and the large state owned entities order more pipes for energy infrastructure.


Over the last 12 months the Fund has benefited from its fundamental approach (where stock selection within sectors has been strong), as well as its long term view (where sector allocations too have provided positive results) with low levels of portfolio turnover. Key performance drivers have been pair trades within sectors including Novatek OAO vs. Gazprom OAO in energy, and MRSK Holding vs. Inter RAO EES OAO in utilities. Standalone overweight positions Magnit OAO and X 5 Retail Group NV, both in food retail, the airline Aeroflot-Russian Airlines in the industrials sector and VolgaTelecom in telecommunications have also been strong contributors.

Sector allocation and security selection both contributed to return for the fiscal year. Of particular note was the contribution from the Fund’s underweight of energy and its security selection within that sector. Allocation and selection within financials also contributed significantly to results. Allocations that detracted from performance included the Fund’s underweight of materials and slight overweight of health care. Selections within the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors hurt results. The largest detractor actually was the Fund’s operational cash position, which though small detracted from relative results as stocks rose significantly.

We feel it is relevant here to make a comment on the changing of the Fund’s benchmark, which happened at the end of September last year. The new benchmark, the MSCI Russia 10/40 index, in place for the full fiscal year, has not changed the way the Fund is managed. The Fund continues to invest in a broad range of stocks across the Russian equity market according to their attractiveness and diversification potential, and has not concentrated its holdings to focus on the narrower list of stocks in the new benchmark.

Current Outlook and Strategy: It has been a difficult and frustrating year for investors in Russia as the government has committed itself to larger budgetary outlays and has been looking for additional sources of revenue to fund them. The public battle between government ministries and the business community has increased the uncertainty around future Russian corporate taxation. The oil industry has been hit particularly hard; the lack of a clear framework has made it difficult to value these stocks.

Generally, we believe valuation levels for Russian equities look attractive compared to other emerging markets, but it must be remembered that Russia has a market of stocks and not a stock market. This can be explained by the wide range of equity valuations seen on different stocks and sectors within Russia, where we believe premiums and discounts are well justified given the fundamental environment for these companies.

The Fund continues to seek long-term, fundamentally attractive opportunities at both the stock and sector level. While we are acutely aware of the impact of external dynamics on the Russian equity market and the volatility that this can bring, we hold our conviction on positioning and do not aim to make significant short-term portfolio changes. The Fund continues to seek opportunities that fit well with our view of the development of the economy, thus looking for exposure to domestic demand growth, infrastructure spending, liberalization of markets and external trade. On a sector basis the Fund retains its underweight in energy — its most significant sector position — using this to fund overweight positions in domestic sectors. The majority of the portfolio risk is currently being taken at the stock level, where we continue to play strong companies against weak companies within their respective sectors.

ING Global Bond Fund (“Global Bond” or the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Chris Diaz and Michael Mata, Portfolio Managers, of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 7.14% compared to the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”), which returned 6.89% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Capital markets saw spread-tightening continue over the period as the economy recovered from the “Great Recession.” Emerging economies outpaced the developed world at the beginning of the fiscal period. In response, investors left the “safe haven” of U.S. Treasury debt and embraced riskier assets. However, in spring 2010 the world saw the sovereign debt crisis unfold in Western Europe. This once again caused a flight to quality and the U.S. dollar again became a safer bet. Domestic inflation remained muted, even touching disinflation, and U.S. interest rates stayed low. As the “recovery” continued, growth proved to be slower than expected and U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) stepped in once again with quantitative easing. Despite the volatility, fixed income markets saw strong returns over the period.

Risk-based fixed income assets posted positive excess returns(1), particularly investment grade and high yield corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). Within corporate bonds, basics — a category that includes chemicals, metals and mining and paper — had the highest total returns. Generally, lower credit quality, investment grade corporates outperformed higher quality bonds. In the second half of 2010, with 10-year U.S. Treasuries hitting all-time low yields, riskier asset classes such as high yield and emerging market debt (“EMD”) became quite attractive.

Currency positioning detracted slightly from results for the fiscal year. We managed the Fund’s currency exposures in part with derivatives including currency forwards, which at times contributed to and at times detracted from performance. Duration or interest-rate risk was kept close to neutral in aggregate so this had a more muted net impact on returns for the period. We used derivatives including futures to aid in duration management, which at times helped performance over the period but also detracted from performance in some cases.

While the sources of outperformance varied over time in a volatile market, our tactical management of currency exposures and sector allocation dominated. In currency, the Fund initially was long the U.S. dollar as the sovereign debt crisis began to unravel. The overweight to the dollar and underweight to the euro contributed to performance. Also helping results were small overweights to commodities based currencies such as those of Canada, Brazil, Norway and Mexico. As the debt issues in Europe came to seem well-contained and the U.S. recovery slowed, the euro appreciated and dollar declined. As a result, the Fund’s overweight to the dollar and underweight to the euro detracted from performance in the latter part of the period.

Sector allocation and security selection within credit added to performance. The Fund was overweight corporate bonds, with a focus on financial institutions and banking. We also kept overweights to non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and CMBS. Finally, we added exposure to EMD and high yield bonds throughout the period. All of these additions helped performance. We underweighted agency debentures and agency RMBS to “fund” these overweights in the riskier sectors.




 
 
 
 

During the period, the Fund’s duration posture was close to neutral. Although the benefits and risks of duration and yield curve management varied across countries, the uncertainty about the Fed’s next move to boost the economy kept us from taking larger duration exposures over the period. With U.S. yields at all-time lows, we sought duration exposure outside the United States in countries such as Brazil and Mexico.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Because we expect unemployment to remain high and significant slack to persist in the U.S. economy, we expect U.S. Treasury rates to remain range-bound and the Fed to remain on hold. We do not believe inflation is a near-term concern as the Fed attempts to extricate the U.S. from its recent, disinflationary state.

Although there have been signs of bottoming, housing prices continue to decline. Recent headlines in RMBS, focusing on the foreclosure process and “put backs” of loans, may delay the recovery process. Nonetheless, we believe these concerns will have a small impact on the housing market. There have been other positive economic indicators such as new job growth in October, but unemployment persists. We believe fiscal policy will be needed to address these problems and stimulate growth.

We are maintaining the Fund’s active risk exposure to emerging markets, expressed as positions in commodity based currencies such as the Norwegian krone and the Canadian dollar. Allocations to the currencies of India and Indonesia follow our theme for emerging economies that have high savings rates and may benefit from rising internal consumption and rebounding exports. Although the U.S. dollar was a safe haven currency, it has been volatile throughout the year, so we continue to seek opportunities in developing and developed markets.

ING Diversified International Fund (“Diversified International” or 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 ING Investments, LLC. The Fund is managed by ING Investments, LLC, under the guidance of an Asset Allocation Committee.(1)

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 13.71% compared to the MSCI All Country World IndexSM (ex-US) (“MSCI ACWI (ex-US)”) which returned 12.62% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark is related to the performance of the Underlying Funds, along with a successful tactical overweight to emerging markets. Positive relative results came from ING International Value Choice Fund, ING International SmallCap Multi-Manager Fund, ING International Value Fund and ING Index Plus International Equity Fund. ING Emerging Countries Fund and ING International Real Estate Fund both underperformed their respective strategic benchmarks for the period. ING International Capital Appreciation Fund was on par with its strategic benchmark.

The greatest contributors to relative performance for the period were ING International Value Choice Fund and ING International SmallCap Multi-Manager Fund. ING International Value Choice Fund’s success was mainly due to an underweight and good stock selection in financials coupled with an overweight in the materials sector, concentrated mainly in gold related companies. Both the Acadian and Schroder’s sleeves of the ING International SmallCap Multi-Manager Fund contributed to its positive relative performance for the period. Acadian benefitted from stock selection within continental Europe and Hong Kong; and stock selection within the consumer discretionary, technology and financial sectors. Off-benchmark allocations to the emerging markets also contributed. Schroder’s good stock selection in continental European industrial energy and financial sectors, UK staples and energy companies and the Japanese industrials and materials sectors attributed to its positive results for the period.

The greatest detractor to relative performance was ING International Real Estate Fund. Unfavorable timing of country and regional allocations especially to Hong Kong, UK and continental Europe, coupled with adverse stock selection primarily in the Asia Pacific region hurt relative performance for the period.

ING Emerging Countries Fund’s country allocation hurt relative performance, especially the Fund’s overweights to Eastern Europe and large markets like China and Brazil. However, stock selection in the latter two helped, as did selection in the consumer discretionary, energy and industrials
sectors.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Current Strategy and Outlook: The Fund’s approximate target investment allocations (expressed as a percentage of its net assets) among the asset classes in which the Fund invests are set out in the table. As these are target allocations, the actual allocations of the Fund’s assets may deviate from the percentages shown.

The Investment Committee allocates the Fund’s assets among the Underlying Funds based on advice from ING Investment Management Co., a consultant to the Investment Committee. The performance of the Fund reflects the performance of the Underlying Funds and the weightings of Fund’s assets in each Underlying Fund.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the table and graph above illustrate the total return of ING Diversified International Fund against the index indicated. The index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charge and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in the index. The Fund’s performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.

The graph and performance table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund Shares.

The performance shown may include the effect of the waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Adviser and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.

Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown. Please log on to www.ingfunds.com or call (800) 992-0180 to get performance through the most recent month end.

It is important to note that the Fund has a limited operating history. Performance over a longer period of time may be more meaningful than short-term performance.

This report contains statements that may be “forward-looking” statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the “forward-looking” statements.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers, only through the end of the period as stated on the cover. The portfolio managers’ views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.

Fund holdings are subject to change daily.

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, 2010 to October 31, 2010. 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 left section of the table shown below, “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 right section of the table shown below, “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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Shareholders and Board of Trustees
ING Mutual Funds and ING Mayflower Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of ING Global Equity Dividend Fund, ING Global Natural Resources Fund, ING Global Real Estate Fund, ING Global Value Choice Fund, ING Asia-Pacific Real Estate Fund, ING Emerging Countries Fund, ING European Real Estate Fund, ING Global Opportunities Fund (formerly, ING Foreign Fund), ING Greater China Fund, ING Index Plus International Equity Fund, ING International Capital Appreciation Fund, ING International Real Estate Fund, ING International SmallCap Multi-Manager Fund, ING International Value Choice Fund, ING Russia Fund, ING Global Bond Fund, and ING Diversified International Fund, each a series of ING Mutual Funds, and ING International Value Fund, a series of ING Mayflower Trust, as of October 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. 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, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010


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 seventeen separate active series, all of which are included in this report, (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “IMF Funds”): Global Equity Dividend, Global Natural Resources, Global Real Estate, Global Value Choice, Asia-Pacific Real Estate, Emerging Countries, European Real Estate, Global Opportunities, Greater China, Index Plus International Equity, International Capital Appreciation, International Real Estate, International SmallCap Multi-Manager, International Value Choice, Russia, Global Bond and Diversified International. IMT is a Massachusetts business trust organized August 18, 1993 with one series, International Value (a “Fund” and together with the IMF Funds, the “Funds”). The investment objective of each Fund is described in the Funds’ prospectuses, each dated February 28, 2010.

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 R and Class W. 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. Expenses that are specific to a fund or a class are charged directly to that fund or class. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are generally allocated among those funds based on average net assets. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

Class B shares of the Funds are closed to new investment, provided that: (1) Class B shares of the Funds may be purchased through the reinvestment of dividends issued by Class B Shares of the Funds; and (2) subject to the terms and conditions of relevant exchange privileges and as permitted under their respective prospectuses, Class B shares of the Funds may be acquired through exchange of Class B shares of other funds in the ING Mutual Funds Complex. Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase.

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.

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, investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“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 acquired with more than 60 days to maturity are valued using matrix pricing methods determined by an independent pricing service which takes into consideration such factors as yields, maturities, liquidity, ratings and traded prices in similar or identical securities. Securities for which valuations are not readily available from an independent pricing service may be valued by brokers which use prices provided by market makers or estimates of fair value obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the net asset value. Investments in securities of sufficient credit quality, maturing 60 days or less from date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

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 defined by the 1940 Act, and 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

82




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 defined by the 1940 Act, and as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Fund’s 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.

For all Funds, with the exception of Russia, 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 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 a 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 a Fund’s NAV.

For Diversified International and other Funds with holdings in open end investment companies, the valuations of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds are 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 held in Underlying Funds maturing in 60 days or less from the date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost which generally approximates fair 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.

Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the

83




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

measurement date. Each investment asset or liability of the Funds is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset or liability that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality which are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, are generally considered to be Level 2 securities under applicable accounting rules. A table summarizing the Funds’ investments under these levels of classification is included following the Summary Portfolios of Investments.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, there have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.

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, if any, are recorded as distributions of realized gains from affiliated Underlying Funds.

Global Real Estate estimates 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 Fund no longer owns 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 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.  Risk Exposures and the use of Derivative Instruments. The Funds’ investment objectives permit them to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, purchased options, written options, and swaps. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase or decrease

84




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

the level of risk, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly, and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.

Market Risk Factors. In pursuit of their investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risk factors:

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer durations, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter durations.

Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Funds use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Funds, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

The use of these strategies involves certain special risks, including a possible imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price movements of derivative instruments and price movements of related investments. While some strategies involving derivative instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in related investments or otherwise, due to the possible inability of the Funds to purchase or sell a portfolio security at a time that otherwise would be favorable or the possible need to sell a portfolio security at a disadvantageous time because the Funds are required to maintain asset coverage or offsetting positions in connection with transactions in derivative instruments. Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the following notes.

Counterparty Credit Risk and Credit Related Contingent Features. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. The Funds derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Funds intend to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that they believe to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk, the Funds generally enter into master netting arrangements, established within the Funds International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative and forward foreign currency contracts, entered into by the Funds and the counterparty. The Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable Master Agreement.

The Funds may also enter into collateral agreements with certain counterparties to further mitigate

85




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

counterparty risk on OTC derivative and forward foreign currency contracts. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a certain counterparty. Collateral pledged to or from the Funds is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies.

As of October 31, 2010, the maximum amount of loss that Global Bond would incur if the counterparties to its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $7,499,316 which represents the gross payments to be received by the Fund on open purchased options, forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps were they to be unwound as of October 31, 2010. To reduce the amount of potential loss to Global Bond, various counterparties have posted $846,890 in cash collateral as of October 31, 2010.

The Funds have credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Funds. Credit related contingent features are established between the Funds and their derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Funds will not fulfill their payment obligations to their counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in a Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in a Fund’s NAV, which could cause a Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The contingent features are established within the Funds Master Agreements.

As of October 31, 2010, Global Bond had a net liability position of $6,182,913 on forward foreign currency contracts, credit default swaps, cross-currency swaps, interest rate swaps, and written options with credit related contingent features. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of October 31, 2010, Global Bond could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. As of October 31, 2010, Global Bond had posted $485,000 to its counterparties in cash collateral for its open derivatives transactions.

E.  Forward Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may enter into forward 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.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the following Funds had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts to buy and sell as disclosed below:

  For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund used forward foreign currency contracts to protect its non-U.S. dollar-denominated holdings from adverse currency movements and to gain exposure to currencies for the purposes of risk management or enhanced return. Please refer to the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open forward foreign currency contract at October 31, 2010.

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 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

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

Futures contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the underlying financial instrument. During the year ended October 31, 2010, Index Plus International Equity had purchased futures contracts on equity indices to gain additional exposure to the foreign equity markets. During the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond had both purchased and sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to gain exposure to different parts of the yield curve to assist the Fund with its duration strategy. Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, Index Plus International Equity had an average notional value of $209,976 on futures contracts purchased.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond had an average notional value of $130,838,577 and $114,849,627 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.

F.  Options Contracts. The Funds may write call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities, commodities or foreign currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing put options tends to increase the Funds’ exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Funds’ exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Certain options may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the instrument underlying the written option. There is the risk the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

The Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Funds exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Funds exposure to the underlying instrument. The Funds pay a premium which is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond has purchased and written foreign currency options to gain exposure to currencies and to generate income. Please refer to the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open purchased foreign currency options and the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open written foreign currency options at October 31, 2010.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond has purchased and written swaptions on credit default swap indices “CDX” in order to hedge the credit risk of the Fund and to enhance potential gains. There were no open CDX swaptions at October 31, 2010.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond has written swaptions on interest rate swaps to increase exposure to long-term interest rates and potentially enhance the Fund’s yield. There were no open interest rate swaptions at October 31, 2010.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Please refer to Note 10 for the volume of purchased and written option activity during the year ended October 31, 2010.

G.  Swap Agreements. Certain Funds may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. Subsequent changes in fair value, if any, are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. A Fund may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and currency swaps to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. All outstanding swap agreements are reported following each Fund’s Summary Portfolio of Investments.

Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from third party pricing services, counterparties or brokers. The value of the swap contract is recorded on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by a Fund when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are included as a component in the realized gains or losses on each Fund’s Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A Fund also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

Entering into swap agreements involves the risk that the maximum potential loss of an investment exceeds the current value of the investment as reported on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral agreement between counterparties in which the buyer of the protection agrees to make a stream of periodic payments to the seller of protection in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for a referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swaps, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer a fixed payment stream based on the notional amount of the swap contract. This fixed payment stream will continue until the swap contract expires or a defined credit event occurs.

A Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. As a seller of protection in a credit default swap, a Fund may execute these contracts to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market. A Fund may also enter into credit default swaps to speculate on changes in an issuer’s credit quality, to take advantage of perceived spread advantages, or to offset an existing short equivalent (i.e. buying protection on an equivalent reference entity).

Certain Funds may sell credit default swaps which expose these Funds to the risk of loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract. Although contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/ moratorium. If a Fund is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will generally either (i) pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

88




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed in each Fund’s Summary Portfolio of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting fair values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing fair values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of October 31, 2010, for which a Fund is seller of protection, are disclosed following each Fund’s Summary Portfolio of Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreements, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and to hedge against anticipated potential credit events. Global Bond also purchased credit protection on CDX indices to decrease its exposure to various credit sectors. A CDX index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to gain exposure to the credit risk of individual securities that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market. Global Bond also sold protection on CDX indices to increase its exposure to various credit sectors.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond had average notional amounts of $13,286,600 and $1,769,100 on credit default swaps to buy protection and credit default swaps to sell protection, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements. Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swaps. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate (“Long interest rate swap”) in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amounts on long interest rate swaps were $100,889,679.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate (“Short interest rate swap”) in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amounts on short interest rate swaps were $6,115,538.

Global Bond enters into interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures and to substitute for physical fixed-income securities. Please refer to the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open interest rate swaps at October 31, 2010.

Cross-Currency Swap Agreements. Cross-currency swaps are interest rate swaps in which interest cash flows are exchanged between two parties based on the notional amounts of two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. Cross-currency swaps also involve the exchange of the notional amounts at the start of the contract at the current spot rate with an agreement to re-exchange such amounts at a later date at either the same

89




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

exchange rate, a specified rate or the then current spot rate. The entire principal value of a cross-currency swap is subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond has entered into cross-currency swaps to increase exposure to both foreign exchange and interest rate risk (inflation hedge). Please refer to the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open cross-currency swaps at October 31, 2010.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, Global Bond had average notional amounts (local currency) of 5,968,037 and 987,409,000 on currency bought and sold, respectively, on cross-currency swaps.

H. 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, Asia-Pacific Real Estate, European Real Estate, International Equity Dividend and International Real Estate, which pay dividends, if any, quarterly and Global Bond, which pay dividends, if any, 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.

I.  Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. Management has considered the sustainability of the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until the 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.

J. 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.

K. Securities Lending. Each Fund and Underlying Fund has the option to temporarily loan up to 33-1/3% 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 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.

L. Restricted Securities. Each Fund and Underlying Fund may 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. Restricted securities are fair valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board.

M. 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 Summary Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds and Underlying Funds are required to segregate liquid assets sufficient to cover the purchase price.

N. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, each Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. Each Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and,

therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, management considers risk of loss from such claims remote.

Effective April 1, 2010, International Value no longer pays the Administrator an annual shareholder account-servicing fee of $5.00 for each account of beneficial owners of shares. For the year ended October 31, 2010, International Value paid $142,623 in shareholder account servicing fees.

The Investment Adviser, ING IM, ING CRES, IIMA, ING Asia and the Administrator are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”). ING Groep is a global financial institution of Dutch origin offering banking, investments, life insurance and retirement services.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 5 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES (continued)

ING Groep has adopted a formal restructuring plan that was approved by the European Commission in November 2009 under which the ING life insurance businesses, including the retirement services and investment management businesses, which include the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, would be divested by ING Groep by the end of 2013. While there can be no assurance that it will be carried out, the restructuring plan presents certain risks, including uncertainty about the effect on the businesses of the ING entities that service the Fund and potential termination of the Fund’s existing advisory agreement, which may trigger the need for shareholder approval of new agreements.

NOTE 6 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

Each share class of the Funds, except Class I and Class W(1), has adopted a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby ING Investments Distributor, LLC (“IID” or the “Distributor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, is reimbursed or compensated (depending on the class of shares) by the Funds for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the 12b-1 Plans, each class of shares of a Fund pays the Distributor a Distribution and/or Service Fee based on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:


(1)
  Class Q shareholders of Global Value Choice, Global Opportunities, International SmallCap Multi-Manager and International Value incurred a service fee of 0.25% until conversion to Class W shares of each respective Fund on November 20, 2009. Class Q shareholder of Emerging Countries and International Capital Appreciation incurred a service fee of 0.25% until conversion to Class W shares of each Fund on March 8, 2010.

At October 31, 2010, the following indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of ING Groep owned the following Funds:

Diversified International — Emerging Countries (19.68%); Index Plus International Equity (33.99%); International Capital Appreciation (49.39%); International Value Choice (30.14%).

ING Global Target Payment Fund — Index Plus International Equity (7.11%).

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company — Asia-Pacific Real Estate (49.61%); European Real Estate (79.36%); International SmallCap Multi-Manager (8.68%).

ING National Trust — International Capital Appreciation (9.23%); International Value (12.21%).

Control is defined by the 1940 Act as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. The 1940 Act defines affiliates as companies that are under common control. Therefore, because certain Funds have a common owner that owns over 25% of the outstanding securities of the Funds, they may be deemed to be affiliates of each other. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Funds.

The Investment Adviser may request that the Funds’ portfolio managers use their best efforts (subject to obtaining best execution of each transaction) to

NOTE 7 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES (continued)

allocate a portfolio’s equity security transactions through certain designated broker-dealers. The designated broker-dealer, in turn, will reimburse a portion of the brokerage commissions to pay certain expenses of that Fund. Any amounts credited to a Fund are reflected as a reimbursement of expenses in the Statements of Operations.

The Funds have adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which allows eligible non-affiliated trustees as described in the Plan to defer the receipt of all or a portion of the trustees fees payable. Amounts deferred are treated as though invested in various “notional” funds advised by ING Investments until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 14 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

All mutual funds involve risk — some more than others — and there is always the chance that you could lose money or not earn as much as you hope. A Fund’s risk profile is largely a factor of the principal securities in which it invests and investment techniques that it uses. For more information regarding the types of securities and investment techniques that may be used by the Funds and their corresponding risks, see each Fund’s most recent Prospectus and/or the Statement of Additional Information.

Diversified International is also affected by other kinds of risks, depending on the types of securities held or strategies used by an Underlying Fund.

Investment by Funds-of-Funds (Certain Funds). Each of the Underlying Funds’ shares may be purchased by other investment companies. In some cases, an Underlying Fund may experience large inflows or redemptions due to allocations or rebalancings. While it is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions over time, there could be adverse effects on portfolio management. The Investment Adviser will monitor transactions by each Underlying Fund and will attempt to minimize any adverse effects on the Underlying Funds and the Fund as a result of these transactions. So long as an Underlying Fund accepts investments by other investment companies, it will not purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or under the terms of an exemptive order granted by the SEC.

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.

Non-Diversified (Global Natural Resources, Global Real Estate, Asia-Pacific Real Estate, European Real Estate, International Real Estate, Russia and Global Bond). Certain of the Funds and Underlying Funds are classified as non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, which means that they are 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 or Underlying Fund. The investment of a large percentage of a Fund’s 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.

NOTE 15 — SECURITIES LENDING

Under an agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“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 is 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 market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The Funds bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Currently, the cash collateral is invested in the BNY Mellon Overnight Government Fund (formerly, The BNY Institutional Cash Reserves Fund — Series A) and the BNY Institutional Cash Reserves Fund — Series B (“BICR — Series B), each a series within the BNY Institutional Cash Reserves Trust (collectively, the “BICR Fund”). BNY serves as investment manager, custodian and operational trustee of the BICR Fund. As of October 31, 2010 and throughout the period covered by this report, BICR — Series B held certain defaulted securities issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (the “Lehman Securities”). The Lehman Securities have market values significantly below amortized cost. On May 22, 2009, the Funds agreed to the terms of a capital support agreement (the “Capital Support Agreement”) extended by The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNYC”), an affiliated company of BNY, for the Lehman Securities held by BICR — Series B. Under the terms of the Capital Support Agreement, BNYC will

104




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 15 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

support the value of the Lehman Securities up to 80% of the par value (the remaining 20% of the par value represents an unrealized loss to the Funds) and subject, in part, to the Funds’ continued participation in the BNY securities lending program through September 15, 2011. At September 15, 2011, if the Funds have complied with the requirements under the Capital Support Agreement to continue to participate in the BNY securities lending program and if such securities have not otherwise been sold, the Funds will have the right to sell the defaulted securities to BNYC at a price equal to 80% of par value. The recorded value of each Fund’s investment in BICR — Series B includes the value of the underlying securities held by BICR — Series B and the estimated value of the support to be provided by BNYC. The investments in the BNY Overnight Government Fund and in BICR — Series B are included in the Summary Portfolio of Investments under Securities Lending Collateral and the unrealized loss on BICR — Series B is included in Net Unrealized Depreciation on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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. 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, 2010, the following Funds had securities on loan with the following market values:

NOTE 16 — 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, income from passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.

The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of October 31, 2010:

        Paid-in

As of October 31, 2010, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at period end and included in the change in net assets was $0.


ˆ
  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

ˆ
  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

As of October 31, 2010, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at period end and included in the change in net assets was $0.


ˆ
  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

ˆ
  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

As of October 31, 2010, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at period end and included in the change in net assets was $0.


ˆ
  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

As of October 31, 2010, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at period end and included in the change in net assets was $0.


ˆ
  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

As of October 31, 2010, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at period end and included in the change in net assets was $0.


ˆ
  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

As of October 31, 2010, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at period end and included in the change in net assets was $0.


ˆ
  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

As of October 31, 2010, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at period end and included in the change in net assets was $334,179.


ˆ
  See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in), or the ending value (for transfers out) of any security or derivative instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

#
  The earlier close of the foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolio may frequently value many of its foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available. Accordingly, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

(1)
  If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either 1.) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or 2.) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

(2)
  The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as seller of protection could be required to make or receive as a buyer of credit protection under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.

(3)
  The fair value for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Increasing fair value, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring.

  None of the funds listed above derived any income from ineligible foreign sources as defined under Section 901(j) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Foreign taxes paid or withheld should be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. Shareholders are strongly advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.

Above figures may differ from those cited elsewhere in this report due to differences in the calculation of income and gains under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (book) purposes and Internal Revenue Service (tax) purposes.

Shareholders are strongly advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investments in the Funds. In January, shareholders, excluding corporate shareholders, receive an IRS 1099-DIV regarding the federal tax status of the dividends and distributions they received in the calendar year.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)


BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF NEW ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACT

Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), mandates that, when a series of ING Mutual Funds and ING Mayflower Trust (together, the “Trust”) enters into a new sub-advisory agreement, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust, including a majority of Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the Advisory and Sub-Advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of the series, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), must approve the new arrangements. Discussed below are certain factors that the Board considered in determining whether to approve a new sub-advisory arrangement for two of its series.

ING Index Plus International Equity Fund

ING Index Plus International Equity Fund had been sub-advised by ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. (“IIM BV”) since December 2005. At a meeting of the Board held on May 27, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to: (1) terminate IIM BV as sub-adviser to the Fund; (2) appoint ING Investment Management Co. (“ING IM”) as sub-adviser to the Fund; and (3) approve an interim sub-advisory agreement with ING IM that became effective on June 30, 2010 (the “Interim Agreement”), under which ING IM began serving as the sub-adviser to the Fund and providing day-to-day management services to the Fund on that date for a period of up to 150 days. At this meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, also approved a new sub-advisory contract (“Sub-Advisory Contract”) with ING IM under which it would serve as Sub-Adviser to the Fund. The Sub-Advisory Contract was approved by shareholders and became effective on September 28, 2010. The Interim Agreement was put into place to bridge the period between the termination of IIM BV and the date of a Special Meeting of Shareholders that was called for the purpose of determining whether to approve the Sub-Advisory Contract.

In determining whether to approve the Interim Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Contract with ING IM, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether the Interim Agreement and Sub-Advisory Contract should be approved for the Fund. The materials provided to the Board to inform its consideration of whether to approve the Interim Agreement and Sub-Advisory Contract with ING IM included the following: (1) ING IM’s presentation before the Joint Meeting of the Domestic Equity Funds and International/Balanced/Fixed Income Funds Investment Review Committees on March 24, 2010; (2) memoranda and related materials provided to the Board in advance of its May 27, 2010 meeting discussing: (a) Management’s rationale for recommending that ING IM serve as Sub-Adviser to the Fund; (b) the quantitative modeling approach employed by ING Investment Management and the migration of the trading and implementation of this quantitative strategy to ING IM’s New York offices; and (c) the capabilities of the ING IM in quantitative investment management; (3) ING IM’s responses to inquiries from K&L Gates LLP, counsel to the Independent Trustees; (4) supporting documentation, including copies of the forms of the Interim Agreement and Sub-Advisory Contract with ING IM; (5) an analysis regarding the effect that the proposed Sub-Adviser change would have on the profitability of Directed Services LLC, the adviser to the Fund (the “Adviser”); and (6) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation.

In reaching its decision to engage ING IM as Sub-Adviser to the Fund, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the Adviser’s view with respect to the reputation of ING IM as a manager to similar funds; (2) ING IM’s strength and reputation in the industry; (3) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by ING IM under the proposed Interim Agreement and Sub-Advisory Contract; (4) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of ING IM and its fit among the stable of managers in the ING Funds line-up; (5) the fairness of the compensation under the Interim Agreement and Sub-Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided by ING IM and the projected profitability of ING IM as the Fund’s Sub-Adviser; (6) the costs for the services to be provided by ING IM, including that the management fee would not change after the appointment of ING IM; (7) the sub-advisory fee payable by the Adviser to ING IM; (8) ING IM’s operations and compliance program, including its policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws; (9) the appropriateness of the selection of ING IM in light of the Fund’s investment objective and investor base; and (10) ING IM’s Code of Ethics, which had been previously approved by the Board, and related procedures for complying with that Code.

After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) ING IM should be appointed to serve as Sub-Adviser to the Fund under the Interim Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Contract with ING IM; (2) the sub-

182



ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)



advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to ING IM is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (3) ING IM maintains an appropriate compliance program, with this conclusion based upon, among other things, a representation from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer that ING IM’s compliance policies and procedures are reasonably designed to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the Interim Agreement and Sub-Advisory Contract for the Fund. During their deliberations, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

ING International Value Fund

The ING International Value Fund has been sub-advised by Brandes Investment Partners, LP (“Brandes”) since March 1995 and ING IM since October 2008. At its September 30, 2010 meeting, the Board approved a new Sub-Advisory Contract with del Rey Global Investors, LLC (“del Rey”) under which del Rey would serve as Sub-Adviser to an additional investment sleeve of the Fund. The new Sub-Advisory Contract is subject to shareholder approval and is anticipated to be effective on January 21, 2010.

In determining whether to approve the Sub-Advisory Contract with del Rey, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether the Contract should be approved for the Fund. The materials provided to the Board to inform its consideration of whether to approve the Sub-Advisory Contract with del Rey included the following: (1) del Rey’s presentation before the International/Balanced/Fixed Income Funds Investment Review Committee at its September 29, 2010 meeting; (2) memoranda and related materials provided to the Board in advance of its September 30, 2010 meeting discussing: (a) Management’s rationale for recommending that del Rey serve as an additional Sub-Adviser to the Fund, (b) the performance of del Rey in managing the International Equity Composite, which is managed in an investment style that mirrors its proposed management of the Fund (with such performance being compared against relevant benchmark indices and Morningstar Category averages), (c) the expertise of del Rey in managing an international value strategy, and (d) the Adviser’s view of the benefits of having a third sub-adviser appointed to the Fund; (3) Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables for the Fund that provide information about the performance of the International Equity Composite and the performance of the Fund’s proposed Selected Peer Group; (4) del Rey’s responses to inquiries from K&L Gates LLP; (5) supporting documentation, including a copy of the form of Sub-Advisory Contract with del Rey; (6) an analysis regarding the effect that the proposed Sub-Adviser addition would have on the Adviser’s profitability; and (7) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation.

In reaching its decision to engage del Rey as an additional Sub-Adviser to the Fund, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the Adviser’s view with respect to the reputation of del Rey as a manager to similar funds and its explanation of its new strategic relationship with del Rey; (2) del Rey’s strength and reputation in the industry; (3) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by del Rey under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract; (4) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of del Rey and its fit among the stable of managers in the ING Funds line-up; (5) the fairness of the compensation under the Sub-Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided by del Rey and the projected profitability of del Rey as one of the Fund’s Sub-Advisers; (6) the costs for the services to be provided by del Rey, including that the management fee would not change after the appointment of del Rey; (7) the sub-advisory fee payable by the Adviser to del Rey; (8) del Rey’s operations and compliance program, including its policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws; (9) the appropriateness of the selection of del Rey in light of the Fund’s investment objective and investor base; and (10) del Rey’s Code of Ethics that had been approved by the Board at its September 30, 2010 meeting and related procedures for complying with that Code.

After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) del Rey should be appointed to serve as an additional Sub-Adviser to the Fund under the new Sub-Advisory Agreement with del Rey; (2) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to del Rey is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (3) del Rey maintains an appropriate compliance program, with this conclusion based upon, among other things, a representation from the Fund’s CCO that del Rey’s compliance policies and procedures are reasonably designed to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the Sub-Advisory Contract for the Fund. During their deliberations, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

(e)   (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 


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.




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


2




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.


3




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.


Effective April 23, 2008, the KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) audit team for the ING Funds accepted the global responsibility for monitoring the auditor independence for KPMG relative to the ING Funds.  Using a proprietary system called Sentinel, the audit team is able to identify and manage potential conflicts of interest across the member firms of the KPMG International Network and prevent the provision of prohibited services to the ING entities that would impair KPMG independence with the respect to the ING Funds.  In addition to receiving pre-approval from the ING Funds Audit Committee for services provided to the ING Funds and for services for ING entities in the Investment Company Complex, the audit team has developed a process for periodic notification via email to the ING Funds’ Audit Committee Chairpersons regarding requests to provide services to ING Groep NV and its affiliates from KPMG offices worldwide. Additionally, KPMG provides a quarterly summary of the fees for services that have commenced for ING Groep NV and Affiliates at each Audit Committee Meeting.

The Board has a Nominating Committee for the purpose of considering and presenting to the Board candidates it proposes for nomination to fill Independent Trustee vacancies on the Board. The Committee currently consists of all Independent Trustees of the Board (6 individuals). The Nominating Committee operates pursuant to a Charter approved by the Board. The primary purpose of the Nominating Committee is to consider and present to the Board the candidates it proposes for nomination to fill vacancies on the Board.

Any such shareholder nomination should include at a minimum the following information as to each individual proposed for nomination as trustee: such individual’s written consent to be named in the proxy statement as a nominee (if nominated) and to serve as a trustee (if elected), and all information relating to such individual that is required to be disclosed in the solicitation of proxies for election of trustees, or is otherwise required, in each case under applicable federal securities laws, rules and regulations.
The Secretary shall submit all nominations received in a timely manner to the Nominating Committee. To be timely, any such submission must be delivered to the Fund’s Secretary not earlier than the 90th day prior to such meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made, by either disclosure in a press release or in a document publicly filed by the Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
