Fund Name		Management Fees	Distribution (12b-1) Fees	Other Expenses	Total Gross Annual Fund Expenses	Fees and Expenses Waived or Reimbursed	Total Net Annual Fund Expenses
ING JPMorgan Small Cap Equity Portfolio (Class I) 1, 2, 3, 4		0.90%	--	--	0.90%	--	0.90%

1	The table shows the estimated operating expenses for Class I Shares of each Portfolio as a ratio of expenses to average daily net assets. These estimates, unless otherwise noted, are based on each Portfolio's actual operating expenses for its most recently completed fiscal year, as adjusted for contractual changes, if any.
2	Through a "bundled fee" arrangement, Directed Services, Inc. (DSI), the Trust's manager, is paid a single fee for advisory, administrative, custodial, transfer agency, auditing and legal services necessary for the ordinary operation of the Portfolios. The Portfolios would bear any extraordinary expenses.
3	Because the Class I Shares of these Portfolios had not commenced operations prior to December 31, 2003, the Portfolio's fiscal year end, expenses are estimated based on the expenses of the Portfolio's Class S Shares for the most recently completed fiscal year.
4	A portion of the brokerage commissions that the Portfolio pays is used to reduce the Portfolio's expenses. Including this reduction the "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" for the year ended December 31, 2003 would have been 0.89%. This arrangement may be discontinued at any time.
5	Because the Portfolio is new, expenses, shown above, are estimated.
