PRESIDENT’S LETTER



Seeking Certainty

Dear Shareholder,

It’s been said that history doesn’t repeat; it rhymes. Human societies have always been competitive, their destinies uncertain; the resulting quest for safety and security has prompted attempts by the wealthy and powerful to lock in their advantages.

In 1494, Spain and Portugal, then the preeminent navigational powers of Europe, signed the Treaty of Tordesillas in which the Pope divided the New World into two zones of Spanish or Portuguese control. At the time it seemed an effective way to avoid costly skirmishes as empire building got underway. However, countries such as England and France, left out of the treaty, ignored it and pursued their own interests aggressively. Numerous wars and political intrigues followed, and ultimately both Portugal and Spain lost their status as world powers.

In our own time we’ve seen the unwinding of the competition and alliances that defined the Cold War era until the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991. During that period, a few wealthy and powerful nations called the shots for either capitalism or communism, and most other nations followed their lead. In the Cold War’s aftermath, individual nations have pursued their own interests. Competition has increased, and capital has readily flowed to areas offering the greatest returns. As a result, the balance of economic power has shifted dramatically. Once-poor nations have grown wealthy, and some wealthy nations have lost stature as investment, jobs and technological leadership moved to other shores.

In today’s turbulent world, economic and political pressures suggest that people will seek relief from uncertainty, and new alignments of power may emerge that we haven’t even imagined. Considering this as an investor, should you embrace the dynamic but unclear global opportunities that may be opening up? Or should you tighten your grip on what you know?

At ING Funds we believe in respect for the lessons of history as context for new investment ideas. Toward that end, we advocate well-diversified portfolios that focus on long-term needs rather than trying to exploit each passing fad or fashion. We believe it’s best to take well-understood, well-managed risks, with a focus on your goals. In some cases that may mean embracing the new, in other instances it can mean staying with the familiar.

As always, we recommend discussing any investment ideas and potential portfolio changes thoroughly with your investment advisor before taking any action. We appreciate your continued confidence in ING Funds, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

 

Shaun Mathews
President and Chief Executive Officer

MARKET PERSPECTIVE:  YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2012


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 gained an impressive 8.71%, including the best first quarter rally since 1998. But in the two months from early April, the index slumped 11% as, for the third consecutive year, the basis of earlier optimism was undermined by events. From there the recovery was just as dramatic, not because the data suddenly improved: far from it. It was because central banks, by their actions, made risky assets much more attractive. For the whole fiscal year the Index gained 11.10%. (The MSCI World IndexSM returned 9.45% for the one year ended October 31, 2012, measured in U.S. dollars.)

Much of the first half’s upbeat sentiment rested on a sharp improvement in the employment situation, probably the most important driver of economic activity. But the improvement faded fast, the three-month average of 245,000 new jobs reported in March slumped to only 94,000 jobs in September. The October report was contradictory, with employers reporting a mediocre 114,000 new jobs created, but 86,000 added to prior months’ estimates. The unemployment rate fell to 7.8% on the basis of an 873,000 increase in the numbers employed, but temporary jobs accounted for two thirds of the increase.

By October, other economic data, from average hourly earnings growth to manufacturing activity and industrial production to gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth were mostly unconvincing. There was some relief in the housing market, however. The final S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index rose for the third month year-over-year.

Also clearly slowing was China, responsible for much of global GDP growth in recent years. GDP increased by 7.4% in the third quarter of 2012 over the same quarter in 2011, the lowest rise in three years.

And yet despite the dearth of good news, the MSCI World IndexSM ended October over 12% above the low point reached in early June. How could this be? One reason was a growing sense that the euro zone’s enduring sovereign debt crisis might at last be approaching the end-game. Another was a third round of quantitative easing launched by the Federal Reserve.

Disillusionment with the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) Longer Term Refinancing Operations quickly set in, amid a growing backlash against fiscal austerity. In June, a recapitalization bailout for Spain’s shaky banks worth up to €100 billion was tortuously agreed. Attention returned to Greece in July where the continuation of the country’s bailout rested on the outcome of an examination by creditors of its parlous fiscal state. With prospects for the euro looking increasingly tenuous, ECB President Draghi came out on July 26 with a statement unprecedented in its explicitness, that the ECB was “ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro.” In September, Draghi announced that through “Outright Monetary Transactions”, under certain conditions, the ECB would buy without limitation the 1-3 year bonds on the secondary market of a country in difficulties. German Chancellor Merkel crucially expressed support.

Also in September, Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke announced a third round of quantitative easing that was different from the first two: it was open-ended and data specific. An additional $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities would be purchased monthly until and even after the labor market improved “substantially”. Exceptionally low policy interest rates would extend to at least mid-2015.

So the period ended with central bankers sounding increasingly determined to put a floor under the euro and the prices of risky assets. With little else attractive to invest in, this was enough to give those prices a boost.

In U.S. fixed income markets, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“BCAB”) of investment grade bonds rose 5.25% in the one year ended October 31, 2012. While the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Index, a sub-index of the BCAB index, underperformed slightly with a return of 3.66%, long-dated Treasuries returned a remarkable 10.40%, just ahead of another sub-index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index which rose 10.21%. The Barclays Capital High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index (not part of the BCAB index) gained an equity-like 13.58%.

U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Index including dividends, advanced 15.21% in the one year ended October 31, 2012. By sector, telecommunications led the way with a return of 26.22%, followed by healthcare with a return of 22.12%. No sector incurred a loss, but energy and materials (respectively 6.51% and 7.41%) suffered from the weakening outlook for global growth. Operating earnings per share for S&P 500® companies set a new record in the second quarter of 2012, but analysts forecast slippage in the third.

In currency markets, the ongoing euro zone crisis drove the dollar up 6.93% against the euro over the fiscal year. But the dollar slipped 0.26% against the pound, reflecting its own “safe haven” status as a sovereign currency with liquid U.K. government bond markets. The dollar gained 2.05% to the yen, which had been trading near post-war high levels as the year started and fell as the Bank of Japan repeatedly threatened intervention.

In international markets, the MSCI Japan® Index did not participate in the rally, ending the fiscal year down 0.86%, having been ahead nearly 15% in March. The market fell harder than others in April and May as investors fretted about the effect of the euro zone crisis and the slowdown in China on Japan’s export focused economy. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index added 12.29% for the one year ended October 31, 2012, due to central bank initiatives as the economic news was unremittingly bad, including falling GDP and record unemployment at 11.6%. The MSCI UK® Index rose by less: 8.61%. The market was weighed down by its near one third exposure to energy and materials stocks, sectors which suffered negative returns as concern about global growth intensified.

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, 2012, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 5.19% compared to the MSCI All Country World (ex-US) IndexSM (“MSCI ACWI ex-US”) which returned 3.98% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund’s strategic allocation consists of MSCI EAFE® 40%, MSCI EAFE® Growth 20%, MSCI EAFE® Value 20%, MSCI Emerging Markets 15% and MSCI EAFE® Small Cap 5%. During the second calendar quarter of 2012, the Fund eliminated its strategic allocation to international real estate investment trusts, which had previously been 5%, and reduced its strategic allocation to MSCI EAFE® Small Cap from 10% to 5%. The Fund’s strategic allocation to MSCI EAFE® increased from 30% to 40% as a result of these changes. The strategic allocation changes were made with the intention of reducing the Fund’s overall volatility and improving its risk-adjusted returns.

While the Fund’s strategic allocation to MSCI EAFE® Value remained constant during the period, the Fund reduced its target allocation to the ING International Value Fund and added the iShares MSCI EAFE® Value Index Fund.

The Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark was largely related to the performance of the underlying funds. ING International Core Fund, ING International Growth Fund, and ING International Small Cap Fund, which in aggregate represent close to 65% of the Fund’s assets, outperformed their respective benchmarks. Conversely, ING International Value Fund and ING Emerging Markets Equity Fund underperformed their respective benchmarks and detracted from the Fund’s performance.

The Fund’s strategic allocation differs in some respects from the allocation underlying its benchmark. The effect of this was positive over the reporting period as the Fund benefited from its exposure to international small capitalization and international real estate companies. The Fund also benefited from its structural underweighting in Canadian equities which underperformed the benchmark.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Sovereign debt issues in Europe and debates over a hard landing in China dominated the headlines within international markets over the period and continue to present meaningful risks. Within Europe, the European Central Bank’s announcement of its bond-purchase program was successful in lowering yields in the peripheral countries. However, the onus is now on the sovereign governments to take the next step and formally request assistance, something no politician is eager to do because of the conditions that may be attached to such assistance. China has begun to show signs of stabilization but data have been mixed. For example, recent reports on new loan growth were strong but came in below consensus. Nonetheless, money supply growth surprised on the upside. As a result of the lack of clarity in Europe and China, we maintain a neutral tactical asset allocation position.


(1)    
  The members of the Asset Allocation Committee are: Halvard Kvaale, Paul Zemsky and Heather Hackett. Effective August 30, 2012, Bill Evans was replaced with Halvard Kvaale as a member of the Asset Allocation Committee.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Fund is based only on the outlook of its portfolio managers through the end of this period, and 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.

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.

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 Christine Hurtsellers, Michael Mata and Robert Robis, Portfolio Managers, of ING Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 5.69% compared to the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index (“BCGA Index”), which returned 3.54% for the same period. Class A shares had $0.17 per share of return of capital for the year ended October 31, 2012.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the reporting period, thanks to strong contributions from credit allocations and sector selection. Active currency management and interest rate decisions contributed as well, to a lesser degree. A strong year for credit markets helped generate good total returns across most fixed income classes, despite uncertainty about fiscal policies and election outcomes in Europe and the United States, and slowing global economic growth. Two major periods of risk aversion, November 2011 and May 2012, were related to the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in peripheral Europe. Supportive policy responses from the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) helped stabilize financial markets, but not without investors suffering periods of acute market volatility.

The Fund maintained overweight core allocations to domestic credit sectors (U.S. investment grade and high yield corporates, and mortgage-backed securities) and emerging market (“EM”) credit sectors such as U.S.-dollar-denominated sovereigns and corporates. The Fund’s above average credit allocation benefited returns. Near period-end we lowered the Fund’s U.S. high yield allocation as valuations became expensive, shifting to what we believe are more attractively valued EM corporate bonds and other sectors.

The Fund maintained a core overweight of EM currency exposure versus the euro, favoring high quality, higher yielding currencies we felt could best deal with periods of heightened volatility and slowing global growth. Among these were the Mexican peso, Brazilian real, Malaysian ringgit and Russian ruble. Active currency management helped offset the drag on returns that would normally be expected in a period of U.S. dollar strength.

The Fund had no exposure to Japanese government debt and generally avoided the most troubled parts of Europe during the fiscal year. Only in August, after the ECB pledged support for troubled sovereign markets, did the Fund tentatively re-enter Europe — adding Italian bonds, the only peripheral European country whose debt appears sustainable at current yield levels. We also reduced underweights in European currencies. Though more constructive on the euro zone than we’ve been in some time, we remain cautious awaiting clarity about the actual funding needs of the most indebted nations, notably Spain.

We adapted interest rate exposure to sharp changes in market sentiment stemming from central bank activity, such as the Fed’s third round of quantitative easing . The Fund generally had lower exposure to developed market interest rates and greater exposure to local currency EM rates. We favored Brazil, Australia, Russia and Chile — countries with higher interest rates that we expected to remain stable or decline because of slowing economic growth. At various points during the period, the Fund took advantage of short-term rises in U.K. gilt yields by tactically overweighting U.K. duration, as the Bank of England was engaged in quantitative easing measures designed to keep U.K. gilt yields from rising over the longer-term.

Derivatives were used to manage currency and duration exposures and generally helped results. Currency forwards were the primary tool for gaining currency exposure. A significant portion of local currency EM rate exposure was derived with interest rate swaps.

Current Strategy and Outlook: We think U.S. credit valuations are less attractive than a year ago, but Fed actions to suppress Treasury yields will remain supportive for credit products. We believe two thousand thirteen will be a year where a greater share of returns will come from earning yield than from spread compression, though we don’t expect meaningful spread widening in most sectors.

The Fund will seek to enhance yield through interest-rate positioning, favoring such countries as Mexico, Chile and Italy while underweighting Japan and the United States. We believe the Obama administration and Congress will compromise on the “fiscal cliff” and avoid the debt ceiling, allowing Treasury yields to rise somewhat as reduced uncertainty triggers outflows from safe assets. Should the rate rise during 2013, the Fund will seek to underweight U.S. yields tactically.

We continue to favor U.S. and foreign corporate bonds, emerging market local and hard currency bonds, as well as mortgage-backed securities. We expect to maintain underweight exposure to German interest rates in favor of Italy, and may also underweight France against Germany. The Fund continues to seek tactical interest rate opportunities within the U.K. and Eastern Europe.

We believe global growth should improve and generally support emerging economies. We favor EM corporates and sovereigns and remain focused on EM currencies such as the rupee, Mexican peso and ruble. We are bearish on the euro but believe ECB and Fed actions have taken the bad news out of peripheral Europe, which could provide opportunities in Eastern European economies such as Poland. China’s economy appears to have resumed growth, which should benefit the Korean won and Malaysian ringgit.

ING Global Value Choice Fund (“Global Value Choice” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Emily Alejos and Andrew Thelen, Portfolio Managers of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC (“Tradewinds”) — the Sub-Adviser.*

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of (7.71)% compared to the MSCI All Country World IndexSM (“MSCI ACWI”) which returned 8.55% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The Fund had negative absolute returns during the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2012, and underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI. In both relative and absolute terms, the Fund experienced a significant amount of its negative performance in March, April and May 2012 — although the Fund generated positive performance and outperformed versus its benchmark in the last three months of the period.

Because of the wide-spread investor focus on top-down information, stock movements were not always dictated by individual company operational performance, and created a challenge for our fundamentals-oriented, differentiated portfolio. It appears that uncertain investors were finding companies with current cash flow and earnings growth worth purchasing even at a premium, while discounting companies without such characteristics. Notwithstanding the period’s performance, though, we remain committed to the same value philosophy and research-centric process — we buy companies when they are trading at what we believe to be a significant discount to intrinsic value.

This approach was out of favor over the reporting period, and was particularly reflected in the Fund’s materials, utilities, and energy sectors. Russian power generating and power production company RusHydro OJSC detracted most from the Fund during the period. We find depressed valuations and performance reflect excessive concerns about Russia’s political landscape. We believe the concerns don’t account for the value of the company’s assets and their existing earnings potential. Russia has a mostly deregulated power market in which expensive thermal generation sets the marginal price. Being a low cost provider, we believe RusHydro is well-placed to benefit from increasing power prices and capacity growth.

We believe current growth-oriented sentiments seem to be overdone, and towards the end of the period saw progress toward stabilization of the portfolio’s performance. The information technology sector was the second largest relative contributor in the portfolio over the quarter, led by hard disk drive manufacturer Western Digital Corporation, the Fund’s top individual contributor to performance. We believe Western Digital has been able to build a stable position within the oligopoly of global hard disk companies, allowing for share buy-backs and the initiation of a dividend.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Though we are pleased that the Fund’s performance improved towards the end of the reporting period, we are not complacent, and we remain focused on attempting to add long-term value. We’re actively buying on any pricing weakness in our high-conviction selections, and we’re constantly reviewing our holdings to determine if any developments justify a re-evaluation of our theses. While a period such as this can be quite trying, our bottom-up, company-specific analysis leads us to believe the Fund currently offers opportunity.


*  
  On September 6, 2012, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved a change with respect to the Fund’s sub-adviser, name and principal investment strategies. The Fund will be renamed ING International Value Equity Fund. Effective November 30, 2012, the Fund will be managed by ING Investment Management Co. LLC under an interim sub-advisory agreement with subsequent changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategies, pending shareholder approval of a permanent sub-advisory agreement. The shareholder vote is expected to take place on or about March 12, 2013.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Fund is based only on the outlook of its portfolio managers through the end of this period, and 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 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 Sam Lam and Vincent Costa, Portfolio Managers, ING Investment Management Co. LLC — the Sub Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 4.50% compared to the MSCI EAFE® Index, which returned 4.61% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Market performance, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index, followed a down-up, see-saw pattern for the reporting period. The index fell in the first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2012; it rose in the second fiscal quarter, only to fall again in the third fiscal quarter and then finished the reporting period with a positive fourth fiscal quarter. Throughout the period, the significant drivers of market performance and underlying investor sentiment were similar to 2011: concern about the sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone, disappointingly slow economic recovery in the United States and worries about the global impact of slowing economic growth in China.

The Fund’s portfolio construction models performed effectively for the period. The Fund outperformed prior to the deduction of fees and expenses, which was due primarily to security selection, with a lesser contribution from sector allocation.

Security selection among the industrials, consumer staples and information technology sectors had the biggest positive impact on performance. Security selection in materials had the biggest negative impact on performance. Positions that contributed most to positive performance were overweights in Deutsche Post AG and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., and an underweight in Nokia Corp. Positions that detracted the most from performance included overweights in Actividades de Construccion y Servicios S.A., Iluka Resources Ltd. and Indra Sistemas S.A. Regional allocation and stock selection added value in all major regions, especially stock selection in Developed Asia ex Japan.

During the period the Fund used currency forwards to manage its currency risks. Currency forwards benefited Fund results for the period. The Fund also used index futures and shares of exchange-traded funds, which had a slight negative impact on results.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Our strategy uses a quantitative investment process to construct enhanced index portfolios. This process employs multiple, uncorrelated alpha streams and advance forecasting techniques to determine which stocks to overweight or underweight relative to the benchmark. The process then combines the forecasted alpha with estimates of risk and trading costs for each stock to construct a portfolio designed to maximize return and control for risk relative to the benchmark.

  On November 29, 2012, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the liquidation of the Fund to be effective on or about February 22, 2013.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Fund is based only on the outlook of its portfolio managers through the end of this period, and may differ from that presented for other ING Funds.

ING International Small Cap Fund (“International Small Cap” or the “Fund”) seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by two sub-advisers — Acadian Asset Management LLC (“Acadian”) and Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“Schroder”) (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). Each manages a portion (“Sleeve”) 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 Sleeve: John R. Chisholm, CFA, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, Brian K. Wolahan, CFA, Senior Vice President and Director, Portfolio Management, Constantine P. Pageorgiou, Ph.D., CFA, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, and Patrick J. McCafferty, CFA, Senior Vice President, all Portfolio Managers of the portion of the Fund that is managed by Acadian, and Matthew Dobbs, Portfolio Manager of the portion of the Fund that is managed by Schroder.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 6.62% compared to the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index and the S&P Euro-Pacific Asia Composite (“EPAC”) SmallCap Index, which returned 5.12% and 5.92%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Acadian Sleeve — The Sleeve outperformed the S&P Developed ex-US SmallCap Index by approximately 479 basis points (“bps”) for the year ended October 31, 2012. This was driven largely by active stock selection but with some additional return from active country positions. The strongest stock return was seen in Japan and Canada, with Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, Germany and Switzerland also making significant contributions. Stock selection was most successful in industrials, materials and financials. Among the top-contributing holdings for the year were Japan’s Kanematsu Corp., Canada’s Primero Mining and FlexiGroup in Australia. Stock selection was less successful in the U.K., with Cape PLC serving as one of the Sleeve’s top detractors over the period. On the country side, the Sleeve saw gains from several positions including the overweight in Singapore, the opportunistic allocations to Thailand and Malaysia, and the active underweights in Australia and Spain. The underweight in the U.K. was the main negative from a country positioning perspective.

Schroder Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed the S&P EPAC SmallCap Index by approximately 216 basis points for the year ended October 31, 2012. International small cap equities made modest positive progress over the year with the S&P EPAC SmallCap Index marginally outperforming larger peers as represented by the S&P Large/Midcap Index.

The Sleeve’s performance has lagged the benchmark over the period, primarily due to stock selection in the Developed Asian markets. In Japan shortfalls have been primarily in the consumer discretionary and industrial sectors, with sentiment generally subdued on cyclical exporters given the slowdown in major trading partners and the political tensions with China. In the rest of Asia, weak spots have been among energy stocks and stocks with China exposure. A lesser headwind has been stock selection in the United Kingdom, with shortfalls in energy and consumer discretionary more than offsetting positive selection among industrials.

Areas of positive impact included continental Europe, where financials selection was strong, with lesser benefit from telecommunications and industrials. The Sleeve’s emerging market stocks also did well.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Acadian Sleeve — Significant uncertainties around the globe seem likely to prevent a clear direction in equity markets from developing in the near term. Although worries of a euro zone breakup have been tempered for now, the longer-term integration issues in the region remain largely unresolved. The likelihood of continued political gridlock in the U.S., with the specter of a fiscal cliff at year-end, is another area investors will watch closely. Meanwhile geopolitical stresses, particularly surrounding the Middle East, also point to continued uncertainty in market sentiment.

The Sleeve’s strategy is to remain consistently positioned with exposure to attractive valuation, supported by price momentum, financial quality and improving earnings. We believe that current portfolio positioning, driven largely by bottom-up stock selection, is well diversified and includes opportunistic emerging markets exposure to India, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Mexico and Malaysia. The Sleeve has overweighted allocations to Japan, Germany, and Singapore. There is less active emphasis on the U.K., France, Australia, Switzerland, France, Canada and Spain.

Schroder Sleeve — Our focus remains upon identifying companies offering what we believe are sustainable long-term growth prospects accompanied by strong management and sound financials. However, the positioning of the Sleeve has reflected our belief that, in most markets, cyclical growth stocks and sectors offer attractive value compared to very defensive stocks and sectors. This has proved an unrewarding stance in most markets as investors continued to seek safe havens at the expense of long-term value. However, we see no reason to change our stance, reflected in sector overweightings in consumer discretionary, information technology and energy and underweights in utilities and consumer staples.

In regional terms, we have continued to place emphasis on Pacific ex Japan and emerging markets, reflecting our belief in their long-term growth prospects. The major underweights have been Europe (including the peripheral markets such as Spain, Portugal and Greece), the United Kingdom and Japan.

The outlook for this Fund is based only on the outlook of its portfolio managers through the end of this period, and 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 Value Choice Fund (“International Value Choice” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is managed by Peter Boardman, Portfolio Manager of Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.*

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of (6.42)% compared to the MSCI EAFE® Index, which returned 4.61% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: For the period ending October 31, 2012, the Fund posted negative results and trailed the benchmark in U.S. Dollar terms. Following a negative downturn and a decline across European and global markets earlier in the year, the Fund rebounded over the summer making up some lost ground during the final three months of the period. Detrimental to fund performance during the period was the Fund’s relative overexposure on a regional basis to Canada, Japan and emerging markets. The Fund continues to hold an overweight position in telecommunications, and a significant underexposure to financial companies relative to the benchmark.

Because of the wide-spread investor focus on top-down information, stock movements were not always dictated by individual company operational performance, and created a challenge for our fundamentals-oriented, differentiated portfolio. It appears that uncertain investors were finding companies with current cash flow and earnings growth worth purchasing even at a premium, while discounting companies without such characteristics. Despite the period’s performance, we remain committed to the same value philosophy and research-centric process — we buy companies when they are trading at what we believe to be a significant discount to intrinsic value.

We believe this approach was out of favor over the reporting period, and was particularly reflected in the Fund’s materials, information technology, and industrials sectors, which weighed on relative performance during the period. Nokia Corp, as the greatest contributor to underperformance within the portfolio disappointed investors as Nokia encountered continuing difficulties with its roll-out of Windows 7 as its smartphone operating system. Although we believe Nokia to be a strong franchise and a leader in handset devises, the position was eliminated until further clarity in its business model could be ascertained given recent setbacks in executing its strategy.

Benefiting the Fund’s performance and contributing to absolute returns was Nexen Inc., an oil and gas company, which became the acquisition target of China National Offshore Corporation during July. We eliminated the position in the Fund due to subsequent price appreciation and fair valuation following the offer.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Though we are pleased that the Fund’s performance improved towards the end of the reporting period, we are not complacent, and we remain focused on attempting to add long-term value. We’re actively buying on any pricing weakness in our high-conviction selections, and we’re constantly reviewing our holdings to determine if any developments justify a re-evaluation of our theses. While a period such as this can be quite trying, our bottom-up, company-specific analysis leads us to believe the Fund currently offers opportunity.

ING International Value Fund (“International Value” or the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s assets are managed by three sub-advisers — Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (“Brandes”), ING Investment Management Co. LLC (“ING IM”) and del Rey Global Investors, LLC (“del Rey”) (each a “Sub-Adviser and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). Each manages a portion (“Sleeve”) 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, Director — Investments and Jeffrey Germain, CFA, Senior Analyst, comprise the voting members of Brandes’ Large Cap Investment Committee; Martin Jansen, David Rabinowitz and Joseph Vultaggio are the Portfolio Managers for the portion of the Fund that is managed by ING IM; and Paul J. Hechmer is the Portfolio Manager for the portion of the Fund that is managed by del Rey.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 1.20% compared to the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index (“MSCI EAFE® Index”), which returned 4.61% for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: Brandes Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed its benchmark by approximately 404 basis points for the fiscal year. An allocation to companies in Brazil, a country not in the benchmark, hurt relative performance as all but one of the holdings, including electric power company Electrobras, energy corporation Petrobras and telecommunications companies TIM Participacoes and Telefonica Brasil, delivered negative absolute returns. Declines in holdings in Japan — seven of the ten worst performers on a relative basis during the period were in Japan — also contributed to the underperformance. Bolstering relative returns were holdings in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, most notably insurer Aegon.

A significant overweight to and holdings in the telecommunication services sector, as well as holdings in the information technology and financials sectors weighed heavily on relative returns. Within telecommunications, diversified telecommunications companies in Europe, including France Telecom, the Sleeve’s worst performer on a relative basis, Telecom Italia and Spain’s Telefonica all detracted from performance. In information technology, Japanese consumer electronics company FUJIFILM and semiconductor manufacturer ROHM Co. were the weakest performers. Some of the losses were mitigated by holdings in the materials and consumer discretionary sectors, including Mexican building materials producer CEMEX, the Sleeve’s best performer on an absolute basis, British media company ITV PLC and multiline retailer Marks & Spencer Group.

ING IM Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed its benchmark by approximately 24 basis points on a net of fee basis, but outperformed prior to the deduction of fees and expenses due to strong security selection, which was primarily centered among industrials, energy and information technology. Some of these gains were offset by detractions from security selection in consumer staples and an overweight to information technology. Strong selection was most evident in Europe, particularly France and the Netherlands. By contrast, weak selection in Australia detracted from results. Among the top individual contributors to performance were Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., Hannover Rueckversicherung AG and Prudential PLC. Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., a provider of healthcare, consumer lifestyle and lighting products, rose in the wake of better than expected earnings. Hannover Rueckversicherung AG, a reinsurance company, strengthened on increased reinsurance revenue and lower claims. Prudential PLC, a composite insurance company, experienced improved profitability from its Asian operations.

Among the largest individual detractors from performance were Iluka Resources Ltd., Tokyo Electron Ltd., and NTT DoCoMo Inc. Iluka Resources Ltd., a miner of mineral sands, was hurt by a sharper than expected slowdown in Chinese housing construction. Tokyo Electron Ltd., a manufacturer of semiconductor production equipment, saw its prospects diminish due to pressure in the semiconductor space, as well the headwind from a stronger currency. NTT DoCoMo Inc., a Japanese provider of mobile communications, suffered from declining profitability in its home market.

del Rey Sleeve — The Sleeve underperformed its benchmark by approximately 896 basis points during the period. This was caused by a weak first half performance, which was offset somewhat by a stronger second half.

For the Sleeve’s fiscal year, information technology and materials weighed, as Nokia, the beleaguered Finnish handset manufacturer, and gold mining stocks hurt performance. Being underweight one of the top performing sectors, financials, also detracted. This was counteracted to some degree by strong performances in utilities, telecommunications, and energy. In particular, Nexen surged after the Chinese state-owned oil company CNOOC Ltd. announced a takeover offer for the company. Consumer discretionary stocks also contributed, with Home Retail, the British retailer, and Magna International, the Canadian auto parts manufacturer, performing particularly well.

Regionally, Japan hurt this year’s performance, as holdings in the region were hit by the lingering effects of the Japanese earthquake and ensuing tsunami, the strong yen, and the most recent territorial dispute with China. Offsetting this somewhat were strong performances from our Chinese positions, namely Huaneng Power, the Chinese utility, and China Mobile.

Current Strategy and Outlook: Brandes Sleeve — The Sleeve continues to have a meaningful overweight to companies domiciled in Japan, the Netherlands, and the telecommunications services sector, while maintaining a meaningful underweight to Germany, Australia, and the industrials sector.

While the uncertainty that engulfed investors around the globe last year seems to be gradually subsiding, the current environment still makes many investors wary of investing in equities. This has caused many companies trading at low multiples of book value, earnings and cash flows to become even cheaper. Europe is a perfect example as the gap between the price-to-book ratio of the cheapest 20% of companies and the price-to-book ratio of the average company in developed continental Europe remains wide. The same is true in Japan. Historically, wide spreads of this nature have resulted in strong subsequent returns for value stocks relative to growth stocks.

We believe that despite the extent and duration of the volatility and doubt surrounding the outlook for global stock markets, these factors help drive prices of fundamentally sound companies below what they could truly be worth — and this opportunity augurs well for long-term investors focused on attractively priced companies.

ING IM Sleeve — In our opinion, international developed stocks are attractively priced. However, the continuing sovereign debt crisis in Europe and a global growth slowdown are key risks to our short-term outlook. Central banks are easing monetary policy to offset these negative forces, but markets are likely to remain volatile in the coming months before — as we anticipate — the growth outlook improves in the first half of 2013. In our view, the Sleeve is well diversified across different geographic regions, sectors and industries; we continue to favor well-capitalized stocks with unrecognized value.

del Rey Sleeve — Notwithstanding the recent market rally, the global economy continues to face considerable challenges, most notably the ongoing crisis in the Euro region, the slump in Chinese investment, and of course, the impending U.S. fiscal cliff. In our last letter, we commented that the resulting second quarter weakness in the markets was allowing us to become incrementally more aggressive in the Sleeve as better and more opportunities were becoming available. While the temporary dip in the markets during the second quarter did grant us some buying opportunities, the rally’s quick resumption in the third quarter means that our overall Sleeve composition has not changed dramatically. We remain moderately defensively positioned, albeit less so than in earlier periods.

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 Alexander Robertson and Nathan Griffiths, Portfolio Managers, of ING Investment Management Advisors B.V. — the Sub-Adviser.

Performance: For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of (6.21)% compared to the Russia Trading System (“RTS”) Index and the MSCI Russia 10/40 Index, which returned (5.15)% and (5.92)%, respectively, for the same period.

Portfolio Specifics: The fiscal period proved disappointing for the Russian equity market. Russia was buffeted heavily by domestic political uncertainty and continued doubt around the global economy. Despite pronouncements that it was again unsuitable for investing, Russia strongly outperformed global and emerging markets between January and March 2012, as the global growth outlook grew more optimistic. Russia sold off heavily, though, as the euro crisis again dominated the investment environment. The rally from the June lows coincided with expectations of a third round of quantitative easing, by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank’s promise to buy sovereign bonds of euro zone members. The equity market remained vulnerable to risk appetite, however, and the recovery petered out by period-end as the domestic environment weakened.

The Fund outperformed its benchmarks before the deduction of fees and operating expenses, but lagged net of fees and expenses. Sector allocation was the main contributor to performance. Stock selection in materials and telecommunication services contributed the most. In contrast, selection in consumer staples and energy detracted the most.

The top three individual stock contributors were all underweight positions. InterRao and Rushydro suffered from utility sector uncertainty. OJSC Rostelecom came under pressure because of doubts about its ability to execute a mobile strategy. Transneft JSC was the biggest detractor as speculation of improved corporate governance saw the stock rally strongly. Having held a long-term underweight position in the stock due to heavy capital expenditure commitments, we moved to overweight as we concluded that free cash flow will become positive in 2013. Federal Grid Co. also detracted as government involvement in the utility sector saw all stocks suffer.

The overweight allocation to consumer staples was a major contributor as the food retail sector benefited from domestic income growth and food inflation. The underweight position in utilities also benefited, as the government reneged upon commitments to provide adequate returns on investment. In contrast, an underweight position in energy proved negative after strong performance at the start of the period due to rising oil prices.

Current Outlook and Strategy: Although we believe valuations are cheap across much of the market, in some areas we see a deteriorating earnings outlook while elsewhere we see the potential for structural improvements. Companies exposed to Western European economies and global trade cycles, and those with heavy capital programs, seem particularly unattractive to us at this moment. The focus of the Fund remains long-term investments that we believe are less exposed to the business cycle. While the global environment will continue to impact the Russian equity market, we believe there are long-term structural trends at play in Russia that provide attractive growth potential.

Though political uncertainty hurt the Russian market during the period, we hope that the realities of a budget no longer in surplus and public discontent with the status quo will accelerate political transformation. If this were to happen, the Russian equity market could undergo a significant re-rating from its current lowly valuation. In this respect it is potentially a major milestone that the government is mandating state-owned companies to pay out 25% of net income in dividends. Not only will this raise the payout ratio of the Russian market but enforce capital discipline on companies most associated with corruption. Such companies have often proved the worst value destroyers and as such have been poor investments; higher dividends alone are insufficient reason to invest. We do, however, see attractive opportunities and have added certain stocks selectively.

Current Fund positioning includes a sizable underweight in utilities. Within the energy sector we favor oil stocks over gas. Despite increases in domestic gas tariffs, we believe the domestic market is moving into surplus due to production growth from independent companies, which is likely to undercut Gazprom’s prices. In addition, weak European demand should pressure export volumes downward. On the other hand, we believe that the tax regime for oil companies is now settled, and with oil prices well supported the sector has the potential for upward re-rating. We prefer precious metals within the materials sector due to the ongoing currency debasement in the Western world. Also, we continue to like the consumer staples sector for its high growth potential and sustainable margins.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING Russia Fund against the indices indicated. An 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 an 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 fee 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.

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, 2012 to October 31, 2012. Each Fund’s 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 a 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 or summary portfolios of investments, as indicated, of ING Diversified International Fund, ING Global Bond Fund, ING Global Value Choice Fund, ING Index Plus International Equity Fund, ING International Small Cap Fund, ING International Value Choice Fund, and ING Russia Fund, each a series of ING Mutual Funds, and ING International Value Fund, a series of ING Mayflower Trust, as of October 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years 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 audit 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, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned funds as of October 31, 2012, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2012


NOTE 1 — 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 on December 18, 1992 with sixteen separate active series, seven of which are included in this report, (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “IMF Funds”): Diversified International, Global Bond, Global Value Choice, Index Plus International Equity, International Small Cap, International Value Choice and Russia. IMT is a Massachusetts business trust organized on 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 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. Distributions are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if applicable.

Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are closed to new investors and additional investments from existing shareholders, except in connection with the reinvestment of any distributions and permitted exchanges.

During the period, Global Value Choice was closed to new investments except for investments by: (1) existing shareholders of record as of July 29, 2011; and (2) retirement plans that purchase shares of the Fund prior to October 31, 2011. The closure did not affect share purchases through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Effective May 7, 2012, the Fund was re-opened to new investments.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. Such policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for investment companies.

A.  Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described below. Investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale, securities traded in the over-the-counter-market, gold and silver bullion, platinum and palladium are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies are 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 of Trustees (“Board”) in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. Securities traded

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


on exchanges, including foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that a Fund calculates its next net asset value (“NAV”) may also be valued at their fair values, as 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, 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 (“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 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.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 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.

The Board has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the “Pricing Committee” as established by the Funds’ Administrator. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Investment Adviser or sub-adviser, when determining the fair value of the security. In the event that a security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods established by the Board, the fair value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee. When a Fund uses these fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine its NAV, securities will be priced by a method that the Pricing Committee believes accurately reflects fair value and are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks of investing in those securities valued in good faith at fair value nor can it be assured the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Pricing Committee may compare prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and traded prices to the prior or current day prices and the Pricing Committee challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued in good faith at fair value, the Pricing Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuation on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. GAAP requires a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported fair values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchases and sales, and transfers in or out of the Level 3 category during the period. The end of period timing recognition is used for the transfers between Levels of a Fund’s assets and liabilities. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments.

For the year ended October 31, 2012, 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.

C.  Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the 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

44



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2012 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


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 strategies 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 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:

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.

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

45



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2012 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


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 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.

At October 31, 2012, the maximum amount of loss that Global Bond would incur if its counterparties failed to perform would be $18,734,015, which represents the gross payments to be received on open purchased options, forward foreign currency contracts and swaps were they to be unwound as of October 31, 2012. To reduce the amount of potential loss to Global Bond, various counterparties have posted $4,198,000 in cash collateral and $779,000 principal value in U.S. Treasury obligations.

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.

Global Bond had a liability position of $20,280,186 on forward foreign currency contracts, swaps and written options with credit related contingent features. If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of October 31, 2012, Global Bond could have been required to pay this amount in cash to its counterparties. As of October 31, 2012, Global Bond had posted $7,530,000 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, 2012, Global Bond, Index Plus International Equity, and International Small Cap had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts to buy of $832,332,761, $484,984, and $143,140 respectively. In addition to the above, Global Bond, Index Plus International Equity, and International Small Cap had average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contract to sell of $630,511,243, $533,585, and $16,495, respectively. The above Funds used forward foreign currency contracts primarily to protect their non-U.S. dollar denominated holdings from adverse currency movements. Please refer to the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for Global Bond for open forward foreign currency contracts at October 31, 2012. International Equity and International Small Cap had no open forward foreign currency contracts at October 31, 2012.

Each Fund and Underlying Funds 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

46



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2012 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


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 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, 2012, 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, 2012, 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, 2012, Index Plus International Equity had an average notional value of $1,780,074 on futures contracts purchased.

During the year ended October 31, 2012, Global Bond had an average notional value of $197,233,477 and $164,941,892 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, 2012, Global Bond had 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

47



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2012 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


for open written foreign currency options at October 31, 2012.

During the year ended October 31, 2012, Global Bond purchased and written options on OTC U.S. Treasuries to gain exposure to different parts of the yield curve and to generate income. There were no open options on U.S. Treasuries at October 31, 2012.

During the year ended October 31, 2012, Global Bond had purchased and written interest rate swaptions to gain additional exposure to interest rates and to generate income. Please refer to the respective Summary Portfolio of Investments for open purchased interest rate swaptions and the table following for written interest rate swaptions at October 31, 2012.

During year ended October 31, 2012, Global Bond had purchased and written swaptions on credit default swap indices (“CDX”) as part of managing the Fund’s credit risk and sector exposure and as a means of generating additional income. There were no open CDX swaptions at October 31, 2012.

Please refer to Note 10 for the volume of purchased and written option activity during the year ended October 31, 2012.

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

48



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2012 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


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. 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, 2012, 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, 2012, Global Bond had an average notional amount of $9,163,443 and $11,364,443 on credit default swaps to buy protection and credit default swaps to sell protection, respectively.

For the year ended October 31, 2012, 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. Please refer to the table following the Summary Portfolio of Investments for open credit default swaps to buy protection at October 31, 2012.

For the year ended October 31, 2012, Global Bond has sold credit protection to gain exposure to the credit risk of individual securities that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market. There were no open credit default swaps to sell protection at October 31, 2012.

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, 2012, 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 $429,320,556.

For the year ended October 31, 2012, Global Bond has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest

49



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2012 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


rate (“Short interest rate swap”) in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Average notional amounts on short interest rate swaps were $450,960,403.

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, 2012.

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. 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 has the option to temporarily loan securities representing up to 33 1/3% of its total assets (except Global Value Choice and International Small Cap which can each lend up to 30% of its total assets) to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, a Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to a Fund in the event a Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. Each Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral with the following exception: BNY provides each Fund indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund.

L. Restricted Securities. Each 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. 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.

  Please see Note 17 — Subsequent Events regarding changes to the Fund’s sub-advisory agreement.

For Diversified International, ING Investment Management Co. LLC is a consultant (the “Consultant” or “ING IM”) to the Investment Adviser. The Consultant provides tactical allocation recommendations to the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has set up an Investment Committee made up of a team of professionals to consider, review and implement the recommendations of the Consultant, and retains discretion over implementation of the Consultant’s recommendations. The Consultant provides ongoing recommendations to the Investment Committee of the Investment Adviser quarterly or as warranted by market conditions.

ING Funds Services, LLC (the “Administrator”), serves as administrator to each Fund. The Funds pay the Administrator a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

ING Investments Distributor, LLC (“IID” or “Distributor”) is the principal underwriter for each Fund. The Investment Adviser, ING IM, ING Investment Management Advisors B.V., the Distributor 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, 2012 (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 immediate affiliates, would be separated from ING Groep. To achieve this goal, in a series of announcements beginning November 2010, ING Groep announced that it plans to pursue transactions to restructure certain businesses, including an initial public offering for its U.S. based insurance, retirement services, and investment management operations; and other transactions, which could include an initial public offering or other type of transaction, for its European based insurance and investment management operations and Asian based insurance and investment management operations. There can be no assurance that all or part of the restructuring plan will be carried out.

The restructuring plan and the uncertainty about its implementation, whether implemented through the planned public offerings or through other means, in whole or in part, may be disruptive to the businesses of ING entities, including the ING entities that service the Funds, and may cause, among other things, interruption or reduction of business and services, diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations, and loss of key employees or customers. A failure to complete the offerings or other means of implementation on favorable terms could have a material adverse impact on the operations of the businesses subject to the restructuring plan. The restructuring plan may result in the Investment Adviser’s loss of access to services and resources of ING Groep, which could adversely affect its businesses and profitability. In addition, the divestment of ING businesses, including the Investment Adviser, may potentially be deemed a “change of control” of each entity. A change of control would result in the termination of the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory agreements, which would trigger the necessity for new agreements that would require approval of the Board, and may trigger the need for shareholder approval. Currently, the Investment Adviser does not anticipate that the restructuring will have a material adverse impact on the Funds or their operations and administration.

NOTE 6 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

Each share class of the Funds, except Class I and Class W, has adopted a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby 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:

Fund
        Class A

    Class C

        Fund

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 to include companies that are under common control. Therefore, because certain Funds may 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 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 amount credited to a Fund in the Statement of Operations is recognized as brokerage commission recapture.

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.

NOTE 8 — OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES

At October 31, 2012, the following Fund had the following payables included in Other Accrued Expenses and Liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities that exceeded 5% of total liabilities:

NOTE 13 — 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). Certain Funds’ shares may be purchased by other investment companies. In some cases, a 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2012 (CONTINUED)


NOTE 13 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

Fund and will attempt to minimize any adverse effects on the Funds and the Fund-of-Funds as a result of these transactions. So long as a 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 Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets Risk (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. Foreign investment risks typically are greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets.

Non-Diversified (Global Bond and Russia). Certain of the 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. The investment of a large percentage of a 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 may actually maintain a portfolio that is diversified with a large number of issuers. In such an event, a Fund would benefit less from appreciation in a single corporate issuer than if it had greater exposure to that issuer.

NOTE 14 — 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 with the following exception: BNY provides the Funds indemnification from loss with respect to the investment of collateral provided that the cash collateral is invested solely in overnight repurchase agreements.

The cash collateral is invested in overnight repurchase agreements that are collateralized at 102% with securities issued or fully guaranteed by the United States Treasury; United States government or any agency, instrumentality or authority of the United States government. The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Summary Portfolio of Investments under Securities Lending Collateral.

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, 2012, the following Funds had securities on loan with the following market values:

NOTE 15 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, 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, 2012:

NOTE 16 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS

On July 20, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission” or “SEC”) entered into a settlement of an administrative proceeding against CIBC World Markets Corp. and Canadian Imperial Holdings Inc. (collectively “Respondents”). As part of the settlement, the Respondents have established the Distribution Fund (“Fund”) for the benefit of shareholders who may have been affected by the market timing activity in certain mutual funds where such trading was found to have been facilitated by the Respondents, as described in the order. The Fund is comprised of disgorgement in the amount of $125 million which was paid by the Respondents. The dollar amount available for distribution to mutual funds and shareholders of affected mutual funds (“Distributable Amount”) includes the original $125 million plus interest earned by the Fund.

On December 5, 2011, the SEC issued an order approving the proposed plan of distribution. In connection with this settlement, the following funds received:

Effective November 30, 2012, International Value Choice is managed by ING IM under an interim sub-advisory agreement with subsequent changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategies, pending shareholder approval of a permanent sub-advisory agreement. The shareholder vote is expected to take place on or about March 14, 2013.

On December 7, 2012, Index Plus International Equity was closed to new investments.

The Funds have evaluated events occurring after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date (subsequent events), to determine whether any subsequent events necessitated adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Other than the above, no such subsequent events were identified.

(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 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.

(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 values 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 values, 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.

  For the year ended October 31, 2012, as a result of the fair value pricing procedures for international equities utilized by the Fund, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the year. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. At October 31, 2012, securities valued at $2,440,184 and $20,658,343 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and Level 2 and Level 1, respectively, within the fair value hierarchy.

ˆ
  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 Fund 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 portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended October 31, 2012.

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

+
  Other Financial Instruments are derivatives not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments and may include open forward foreign currency contracts, equity forwards, futures, swaps, and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts, equity forwards and futures are valued at the unrealized gain (loss) on the instrument. Swaps and written options are valued at the fair value of the instrument.

#
  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 Fund 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 portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended October 31, 2012.

(1)
  For the year ended October 31, 2012, as a result of the fair value pricing procedures for international equities utilized by the Fund, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the year. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. At October 31, 2012, securities valued at $2,606,043 and $22,682,702 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and Level 2 and Level 1, respectively, within the fair value hierarchy. At October 31, 2012, certain securities valued at $43,575 transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 due to the availability of quoted prices in active markets. At October 31, 2012, certain securities valued at $3,181 transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to significant unobservable inputs.

ˆ
  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 Fund 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 portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended October 31, 2012.

The effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s Statement of Operations for the year ended October 31, 2012 was as follows:

SUMMARY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS
AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2012 (CONTINUED)

ING INTERNATIONAL VALUE CHOICE FUND



ˆ
  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 Fund 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 portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended October 31, 2012.

  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 Fund 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 portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended October 31, 2012.

(1)
  For the year ended October 31, 2012, as a result of the fair value pricing procedures for international equities utilized by the Fund, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the year. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. At October 31, 2012, securities valued at $98,313,612 and $2,897,446 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and Level 2 and Level 1, respectively, within the fair value hierarchy.

ˆ
  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 Fund 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 portion of the Fund’s investments are categorized as Level 2 investments.

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended October 31, 2012.

  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.

The tenure of each Trustee is subject to the Board’s retirement policy which states that each duly elected or appointed Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, as amended (“Independent Trustees”), shall retire from service as a Trustee at the conclusion of the first regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Board that is held after the Trustee reaches the age of 72. A unanimous vote of the Board may extend the retirement date of a Trustee for up to one year. An extension may be permitted if the retirement would trigger a requirement to hold a meeting of shareholders of the Trust under applicable law, whether for purposes of appointing a successor to the Trustee or if otherwise necessary under applicable law, in which case the extension would apply until such time as the shareholder meeting can be held or is no longer needed.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)


ING International Value Equity Fund (formerly, ING Global Value Choice Fund)

ING International Value Equity Fund (formerly, ING Global Value Choice Fund) had been sub-advised by Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC (“Tradewinds”) since its inception in February 2005. At a meeting of the Board held on September 6, 2012, the Board, including a majority of the independent trustees (“Independent Trustees″), determined to: (1) terminate Tradewinds as sub-adviser to the Fund effective November 13, 2012; (2) appoint ING Investment Management Co. LLC (“ING IM”) as sub-adviser to the Fund; (3) approve an interim sub-advisory agreement with ING IM that became effective on November 30, 2012 (the “Interim Agreement”), under which ING IM would serve as the sub-adviser to the Fund and provide day-to-day management services to the Fund for a period of up to 150 days; and (4) approve a new sub-advisory contract (“Sub-Advisory Contract”) with ING IM under which it would continue to serve as sub-adviser (“Sub-Adviser”) to the Fund upon expiration of the 150 day period of the Interim Agreement. The Sub-Advisory Contract is subject to shareholder approval and is expected to become effective in March 2013. The Interim Agreement was put into place to bridge the period between the termination of Tradewinds 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 (together, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) with ING IM, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether the Sub-Advisory Agreements with ING IM should be approved for the Fund. The materials provided to the Board to inform its consideration of whether to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreements with ING IM included the following: (1) ING IM’s presentation before the Joint Meeting of the Domestic Equity Funds Investment Review Committee and the International/Balanced/Fixed Income Funds Investment Review Committee at their September 5, 2012 meeting; (2) memoranda and related materials provided to the Board in advance of its September 6, 2012 meeting discussing: (a) Management’s rationale for appointing ING IM as the sub-adviser to the Fund, including the turnover in the portfolio management team, changes in leadership at Tradewinds, and the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark and selected peer group (“Selected Peer Group”), (b) the performance of ING IM in managing the International Value Strategy, which is managed in an investment style that is similar to its proposed management of the Fund, and (c) ING IM’s considerable firm-wide resources, investment philosophy, and overall investment process; (3) Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables for the Fund that provide information about the performance and projected net expense ratio of the Fund as compared with a representative group of mutual funds with similar investment programs to the investment program of the Fund as modified in connection with the appointment of ING IM; (4) ING IM’s responses to inquiries from K&L Gates LLP, counsel to the Independent Trustees; (5) supporting documentation, including copies of the form of the Sub-Advisory Agreements; and (6) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation.

In reaching its decision to engage ING IM, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the view of ING Investments, LLC (“IIL”) with respect to the reputation of ING IM as a manager to other portfolios in the ING Funds complex; (2) the strength and reputation of ING IM in the industry; (3) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by ING IM under the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreements; (4) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of ING IM and their fit among the stable of managers in the ING Funds line-up; (5) the compensation under the Sub-Advisory Agreements in light of the services to be provided by ING IM; (6) the costs for the services to be provided by ING IM, including that the management fee rate would not change upon the appointment of ING IM; (7) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by IIL to ING IM; (8) ING IM’s operations and compliance programs, including the 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 previously been 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 Sub-Advisory Agreements with IIL; (2) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by IIL to ING IM is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (3) ING IM maintains appropriate compliance programs, 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 Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Fund. During their deliberations, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)



Independent Trustees, determined to: (1) approve the merger of the Fund with and into ING International Value Equity Fund (formerly, ING Global Value Choice Fund), a series of ING Mutual Funds in March 2013 (the “Merger”), subject to shareholder approval of the Merger; (2) terminate Tradewinds as sub-adviser to the Fund effective November 13, 2012; (3) appoint ING IM as sub-adviser to the Fund; (4) approve an interim sub-advisory agreement with ING IM that became effective on November 30, 2012 (the “Interim Agreement”), under which ING IM would serve as the sub-adviser to the Fund and provide day-to-day management services to the Fund for a period of up to 150 days; and (5) approve a new sub-advisory contract (“Sub-Advisory Contract”) with ING IM under which it would continue to serve as sub-adviser to the Fund upon expiration of the 150 day period of the Interim Agreement. The Merger is subject to shareholder approval and is expected to become effective in March 2013. The Sub-Advisory Contract is also subject to shareholder approval and is expected to become effective in March 2013 in the event the merger is not approved or the closing date of the merger takes place after the expiration of the Interim Agreement. The Interim Agreement was put into place to bridge the period between the termination of Tradewinds and the date of a Special Meeting of Shareholders that was called for the purpose of determining whether to approve the Merger.

In determining whether to approve the Interim Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Contract (together, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) with ING IM, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether the Sub-Advisory Agreements with ING IM should be approved for the Fund.

(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.

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.
