| Dear Shareholder, |
|
As you may recall, in my last letter I described the enthusiasm that we were experiencing here at ING Funds as we worked to bring more of the world’s investment opportunities to you, the investor. |
|
That enthusiasm, I am happy to report, is continuing to thrive. With the New Year, we have launched a series of new international mutual funds, each created to bring more of the world’s opportunities to you. |
|
Meanwhile, we have also heard you loud and clear. Our research tells us that many investors report that they find investing an intimidating and overly-complex endeavor. That is why ING is committed to helping investors across the country cut through the confusion and clutter. “Your future. Made easier.SM” is more than words; they represent our promise to you. |
JAMES M. HENNESSY | |
Those two objectives — bringing you more of the world’s opportunities and doing it in a way that is easier for you — are behind the development of the new portfolios. |
| |
According to a recent finding, 58 percent of the world market capitalization now lies outside of the U.S.1 In other words, the majority of investment opportunities are now beyond our borders and we think that the ING VP Index Plus International Portfolio — a broad-based international portfolio — is an easy, single-step method to gain exposure to many of those opportunities. |
|
Meanwhile, the ING VP Global Real Estate Portfolio was developed as an easy way to bring global — international and domestic — real estate opportunities to the variable portfolio investor. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are becoming more and more popular around the world, and this new portfolio seeks to capitalize on that popularity. But again, we’ve made it easy. With just one investment, investors bring the diversification of global real estate to their investment strategy. |
|
One of our goals at ING Funds is to find tomorrow’s opportunities today, and we believe these two portfolios are just the latest examples of that plan in action. |
|
On behalf of everyone at ING Funds, I thank you for your continued support and loyalty. We look forward to serving you in the future. |
Sincerely,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001104659-06-015820/g263719bg01i004.gif)

The views expressed in the President’s Letter reflect those of the President as of the date of the letter. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and ING Funds disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and because investment decisions for an ING Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of investment intent on behalf of any ING Fund.

International investing does pose special risks including currency fluctuation, economic and political risks not found in investments that are solely domestic. Investments in issuers that are principally engaged in real estate, including REITs, may subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including terrorist attacks, war or other acts that destroy real property (in addition to market risks). These companies are sensitive to factors such as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. REITs may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements.
1 MSCI December, 2005

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 |
In our semi-annual report, we referred to mixed markets in which the U.S. investor lost on both domestic and international stocks, with gains in the latter trumped by the rebounding U.S. dollar. In the second half, global equities registered solid gains, although foreign markets ended the 2005 year more convincingly. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World® Index(1) calculated in dollars, including net reinvested dividends rose 10.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, and 9.5% for the full year. As for currencies, the dollar extended its first half run for the six months ended December 31, 2005, rising 2.1% against the euro (12.6% for the full year), 6.2% against the yen (14.7% for the full year), and 3.8% against the pound (10.2% for the full year). Commentators explained the U.S. dollar’s unexpected strength by pointing to relatively high U.S. interest rates, the re-cycling of oil exporters’ burgeoning wealth into dollar securities, the tax-related “repatriation” into dollars of U.S. corporations’ foreign currency balances, and, regarding the yen’s particular weakness, non-Japanese investors pouring money into the stock market but hedging their currency risk. Each dynamic was losing steam by 2005 year-end.
For more than a year, the main issue for U.S. fixed-income investors had been the unexpected flattening of the yield curve, i.e. the shrinking difference between short-term and long-term interest rates. From June 2004 through June 2005 the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) had raised the Federal Funds Rate by 25 basis points nine times, pulling other short-term rates up. However, the yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note had actually fallen by 0.71% over the same thirteen months. This was put down to an apparently growing perception in the market that inflation was a problem solved, due to a vigilant Federal Reserve, cheap goods and labor abroad, consistent productivity growth at home and foreign investors’ hunger for U.S. investments. Occasionally in the second half, for example when Hurricane Katrina and Rita affected oil prices, having peaked near $70 per barrel at the end of August 2005, there looked to be filtering through to general prices, and the trend seemed about to break. Nevertheless, in the end the forces of curve flattening prevailed. By December 31, 2005, the FOMC had raised rates four more times, oil prices and the inflation scare had subsided and foreigners were still buying record amounts of U.S. securities. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the yield on the ten-year Treasury rose by 45 basis points to 4.39% (17 basis points for the full year), and on 13-week U.S. Treasury Bills by 93 basis points (180 basis points for the full year) to 3.98%. The returns on the broad Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(2) and the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index(3) was - -0.1% and 1.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, and 2.4% and 2.7% for the full year, respectively.
The U.S. equities market in the form of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500”) Index(4), added 5.8% including dividends in the latter half of 2005 and 4.9% for the full year, thanks to gains of 3.5% in July and November of 2005. Other months were flat to down and by 2005 year-end, the market, trading at a fairly undemanding price-to-earnings level of about 16 times earnings for the current fiscal year, was definitely struggling. Stock investors were initially encouraged by bullish economic reports and even more by second quarter company earnings figures, which were on average up more than 10% year over year. The optimistic mood lasted into early August of 2005, when the S&P 500 reached a four-year high, before drifting back as resurgent oil prices made records almost daily. In September and October of 2005 with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita seldom out of the news, two attempted rallies fizzled. High prices at the gas pump were already here. An expensive winter for heating fuel was certain. Sharply rising factory prices started to be found in local Federal Reserve and purchasing managers’ reports and, with consumer confidence slumping, the word “stagflation” was heard more than once. In spite of this, as November approached, an evidently swift recovery from the Hurricanes Katrina and Rita cheered investors and stock prices powered ahead through mid-December 2005, as oil prices fell back below $60 per barrel, inflation moderated, corporate profits remained buoyant and gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth, at 4.1% per annum, was the envy of the developed world. Yet the market gave back nearly 1.6% between Christmas and New Year, when new reports suggested that the end of the bubbling housing market might be at hand. Rising house prices had encouraged the consumer spending that was largely behind robust GDP growth; spending that is, by people who on average were saving little, if anything.
In international markets Japan was the shining star of the second half, soaring 33.3%, based on the MSCI Japan® Index(5) in dollars plus net dividends for the six months ended December 31, 2005, and 25.5% for

the full year, as the market repeatedly broke five-year records amid new optimism. Investors, albeit mainly foreign ones, came to the belief that Japan is re-emerging as a balanced economy and less dependent on exports. Japanese corporations and banks have repaired their balance sheets at last. Rising wages are supporting domestic demand, in addition to an expected end to deflation, seems at hand. European ex UK markets leaped 11.8%, according to the MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(6) in dollars including net dividends for the six months ended December 31, 2005 (10.5% for the full year) and 14.7% in local currencies (27.7% for the full year) to the best levels in over four years, despite the first interest rate increase, to 2.5%, in over five years. Mounting evidence of a recovery in local demand, resilient profits and an upsurge of merger and acquisition activity boosted markets that are not particularly expensive. UK equities advanced 6.4% in the six months ended December 31, 2005 (7.4% for the full year) based on the MSCI UK® Index(7) in dollars including net dividends, concealing a more impressive 11.1% increase in pounds (20.1% for the full year), to the highest in four years. The period was dominated by the effect of five interest rate increases to restrain over-stretched consumers and soaring real estate prices. Yet, in the face of mostly miserable economic reports, and despite terrorist attacks in London over two days in July of
2005, investors, encouraged by merger and acquisition activity, supported an inexpensive market yielding over 3%.

The ING American Century Large Company Value Portfolio (formerly, ING Salomon Brothers Investors Value Portfolio, the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital growth. Income is a secondary objective. The Portfolio is managed by a team of portfolio managers comprised of Mark Mallon, Chief Investment Officer and Executive Vice President, Charles A. Ritter, Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, and Brendan Healy, Vice President and Portfolio Manager, American Century Investment Management, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.*
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 1.26% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price® Index (“S&P 500”), which returned 7.05% and 4.91%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Equity investors faced numerous headwinds during the year, a period marked by concern about the effects of soaring oil prices, destructive hurricanes and climbing interest rates on the economy and corporate profit growth. Ultimately, the equities market demonstrated resilience, and stocks recorded modest gains.
Our interest in the energy sector, a position devoted entirely to oil and gas firms, contributed the most to performance during the fiscal year. Soaring oil prices, which reached new record highs, underpinned gains for companies across the industry, and each of our holdings advanced. Major, integrated energy firms ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp., ChevronTexaco Corp., and Royal Dutch Shell PLC all ranked high among the contributors.
Still, many of the strongest performers in the sector did not meet our value criteria. For example, energy equipment and services companies recorded powerful gains, but were too richly valued by our standards to merit inclusion in the Portfolio. Consequently, our smaller exposure to the energy sector as a whole contributed to our overall underperformance versus our benchmark and adverse stock selection was a major source of under performance.
The financials sector, on average our largest single stake, also made significant contribution to absolute performance during the period. Insurance companies paced gains, producing two top contributors in Loews Corp. and Hartford Financial Services (“Hartford”). In April, Hartford, one of the nation’s largest financial services and insurance companies, recorded its most profitable quarter ever driven by strength in its property and casualty insurance segment. The next quarter, the firm reported a 96% increase in quarterly income in the same segment, a gain accomplished despite a difficult pricing environment and driven by higher income from its investment portfolio and lower spring-time catastrophe losses.
Elsewhere, investments in the information technology sector produced the Portfolio’s top stock. During the period, Hewlett-Packard announced four consecutive quarters of increased revenues, and reports that the company had emerged as the global leader in the server business further supported the stock’s climb.
Despite those successes, we encountered difficulty in the consumer discretionary area, the top sector-level detractor. During the year, we owned and sold both GM and Toyota Motor, and each had a different impact on performance. As GM’s structural challenges intensified, this once-compelling opportunity became a detractor as negative sentiment hurt the stock price. We eliminated the position and avoided further losses. Conversely, Toyota stock climbed in line with its earnings. We sold into that strength and captured performance, a factor that helped us offset the downdraft from GM.
Stock selection in the health care sector also detracted from performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio’s team of portfolio managers will continue to follow its investment discipline of searching for large, fundamentally sound businesses that, because of transitory issues, are selling at prices we believe are below fair market value.

The ING American Century Select Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by John Sykora, CFA, Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, and Keith Lee, CFA and Portfolio Manager, American Century Investment Management, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 0.65% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 5.26% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: As they did in 2004, stocks in energy and utilities sectors again paced broad market returns in 2005. Combined, the two sectors accounted for 57% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index’s total return, with energy stocks riding a 42% increase in crude oil prices. At the same time, consumer discretionary stocks fell 7% during the year. Combined, these market factors, as well as the Portfolio’s stock selection in the consumers sector, worked against the Portfolio throughout much of the year.
The Portfolio traditionally focuses on growth-oriented investments in companies with solid returns on invested capital. As such, it typically avoids stakes in the utilities and energy sectors. The energy sector, as a whole, has failed to earn its cost of capital 18 times in the past 22 years, and the utilities sector, as a whole, has failed to earn its cost of capital every year in that time frame. However, the Portfolio’s significant underweight in those sectors during 2005 hurt its return substantially.
At the same time, the Portfolio maintained a considerable overweight in consumer discretionary stocks, which further dented its performance. Stocks in that sector suffered as consumers battled soaring gasoline prices and rising short-term interest rates as the year progressed.
Nonetheless, the Portfolio’s return improved as the year progressed, partly because investors finally engaged a noticeable shift to large-cap stocks and stocks with growth characteristics. Small-cap and value stocks have led the way for U.S. markets since 2000, but both trends reversed in the second half of 2005. The Russell 1000® Index’s return in the second half of the year surpassed that of the Russell 2000® Index by a margin of 6.15% to 5.88%. Likewise, the Russell 3000® Growth Index exceeded the Russell 3000® Value Index by 7.19% to 5.07% in the second half of the year.
Meanwhile, the Portfolio’s largest holding, UnitedHealth Group, ranked as its largest individual contributor on a relative basis. Throughout the year, the Portfolio maintained an average overweight position in both the health care sector and, specifically, in health care providers and services. Those positions led all other sectors and industries, respectively, in contributing to the Portfolio’s relative return for the year.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio’s investment team will continue seeking companies with attractive valuations and risk/reward characteristics that also appear capable of sustaining long-term growth in earnings and revenue.

ING American Century Small Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital growth. Income is a secondary objective. The Portfolio is managed by Benjamin Z. Giele, Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, and Kevin Laub, Vice President and Portfolio Manager, American Century Investment Management, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 7.85% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 600 Index, which returned 7.68% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Equity investors faced numerous headwinds during 2005, a year marked by concern about the effects of soaring oil prices, destructive hurricanes and climbing interest rates on the economy and corporate profit growth. Volatility prevailed, and the three major stock market indices alternately moved higher only to surrender gains and fall back into troughs. Ultimately, the equities market demonstrated resilience, and stocks recorded solid gains for the year.
Strength in global demand combined with ramping oil prices, which reached a series of record highs during the period, helped underpin gains for companies across the energy sector, and our investments in this sector made the greatest contribution to performance during the fiscal year.
Energy equipment and services firms paced gains, and we held many that recorded powerful advances but were not represented in the index. Of those, several ranked among the Portfolio’s top-contributing names. One was Helmerich & Payne, a driller that works primarily in the United States and South America. Cal Dive International Inc., a service provider to offshore rigs, was another standout. Similarly, our stake in the oil and gas industry included numerous strong performers that were exclusive to the Portfolio, such as Western Gas Resources Inc., another top contributor.
The Portfolio’s stake in the industrials sector also augmented results, with aerospace and defense companies turning in the best finish. Effective selection in that group yielded the Portfolio’s top-contributing stock, United Defense Industries Inc., a leading producer of munitions and combat vehicles, including the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. During the period, the company was acquired at a premium by BAE Systems.
Investments in the information technology arena provided lift on an absolute basis and also gave the Portfolio its best finish against the benchmark, an outcome attributable almost entirely to effective security selection.
Though security selection was overwhelmingly positive, and our performance was solid on both absolute and relative bases, we nonetheless encountered some disappointments along the way. One was specialty retailer Pier 1 Imports, from the consumer discretionary area, the only sector-level detractor during the period. Despite aggressive pricing and advertising campaigns, the company reported disappointing sales, eventually recording losses amid tepid consumer response to new merchandising initiatives. It was the Portfolio’s top-detracting stock.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We remained true to our bottom-up approach that mandates evaluation of each stock individually and on its own merits. To meet our investment objective of providing long-term capital growth, with income as a secondary objective, we continue to seek out smaller, fundamentally sound companies that appear to be undervalued by the market.

The ING Baron Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Ronald Baron, Founder, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Chairman, and Portfolio Manager, BAMCO, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 7.35% compared to the Russell 2000 Index, which returned 4.55% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Sectors that had the most positive contribution over the one-year period include energy & energy services, apparel and real estate.
The energy & energy services industry made the largest contribution to the Portfolio’s gain. Record high gas and oil prices resulted in a very tight balance between supply and demand, which was exacerbated by an especially hot summer in the U.S. and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The apparel industry also made a significant contribution, led by Carters, Inc. The company performed extremely well in 2005, driven by continued double digit revenue and earnings growth in its core baby clothes business and a strategic acquisition of struggling competitor Osh-Kosh this past summer. Together, the two businesses will represent the most recognized brands of children’s apparel in the U.S. and offer several avenues for continued market share gains. Throughout the year, Carter’s Inc. posted robust growth across all channels, mass, wholesale, and retail, and expanded operating margins to double digit levels.
Health services (insurance) and financial services (miscellaneous) were the worst performing industries in 2005. Amerigroup had the most negative impact on the Portfolio. Despite strong enrollment growth and significant new business wins, the stock declined 48% in 2005 when the company experienced higher than anticipated medical cost trends in several of its markets. Lower earnings, limited visibility into the causes, and questions over Amerigroup’s ability to return to its historically stable and predictable healthcare cost trends contributed to the stock’s sell off. We believe the opportunity for pure play Medicaid HMO’s like Amerigroup remains very large, and that their talented management team is taking proper steps to restore the company to its former growth and profitability. First Marblehead, a provider of outsourcing services for firms participating in the private student lending sector, had the second most negative impact on the Portfolio. First Marblehead came under significant pressure during 2005, as investors grew concerned about the sustainability of the firm’s relationships with several of its key financial sector clients. In addition, the firm’s CEO resigned and was replaced by the firm’s chief operating officer.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio invests for the long-term in what we believe to be forward-looking, well-managed, fast-growing businesses. We believe the companies we own will continue to grow at very healthy and sustainable rates and we expect that their share prices will continue to reflect their attractive prospects.

The ING Davis Venture Value Portfolio (formerly, ING Salomon Brothers Fundamental Value Portfolio, the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by Christopher C. Davis and Kenneth C. Feinberg, Portfolio Managers, Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser*.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 3.89% compared to the Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Price® (“S&P 500”) Index, which returned 4.91% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the first ten months of 2005, the under performance against the former primary benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, was due largely to an over weighting and adverse stock selection in the weak media industry and poor industry group allocation in health care sector, partially offset by an over weighting and favorable stock selection in the stong energy sector.
Thereafter, the Portfolio’s holdings in the financials sector were the largest contributors to performance. The Portfolio’s holdings in the energy, information technology, and financials sectors were the largest contributors to performance. Another factor that deserves comment concerns the performance of large-capitalization companies compared to their smaller capitalization counterparts. There are periods of time, often five years or more, when bigger companies outperform and there are times when the opposite is true. During 2005 after the management change, our stock selection increasingly favored larger companies where we felt there was greater value. This emphasis penalized performance over this reporting period.
During the end of October 2005, the Portfolio’s holdings in the energy sector were reduced to a neutral weight of the benchmark.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, increased by 4.91%. U.S. economic activity, as measured by the inflation-adjusted gross domestic product (“GDP”), increased between 3.3% and 4.1% over each of the first three calendar quarters of the year. Interest rates, as measured by the 10-year Treasury bond, began 2005 at about 4.2%, ranged as low as 4.0% and ended 2005 at about 4.4%.
The Portfolio has made substantial investments in diversified financial companies, and, as a group, these were the most important contributors to performance. J.P. Morgan Chase, Moody’s, American Express, and Citigroup were all among the top 10 contributors to performance. The Portfolio also made substantial investments in insurance companies, and as a group, these companies were also important contributors to performance. American International Group was among the top 10 contributors to performance. Other companies among the top 10 contributors to performance included Golden West Financial, a thrift & mortgage finance company, and Tyco, a diversified industrial company.
No single market sector stands out as having harmed performance. The most important individual companies that detracted from performance were ConocoPhillips, an energy company, Comcast, a media company, Dell, a technology company, and Fifth Third Bank, a commercial bank.
The Portfolio had approximately 9% of its portfolio invested in foreign companies at December 31, 2005. As a group, the foreign companies owned by the Portfolio out-performed the S&P 500 Index over the period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: While we believe that a two month period is too short to provide meaningful insight into a Portfolio’s future long-term performance, we are building a portfolio which is quite different in composition from the S&P 500 Index. The Portfolio’s investment strategy is to perform extensive research to buy durable companies at a discount to their intrinsic values and hold them for the long-term.

The ING Fundamental Research Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock. The Portfolio is managed by Christopher Corapi, ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 5.71% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), which returned 4.91% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Index over the course of the 2005 year due to strong stock selection in a few key sectors, namely information technology, energy and health care. The Portfolio’s relative performance was held back somewhat by its holdings in the materials and consumer discretionary sectors. Chris Corapi, a senior portfolio manager on the ING Fundamental Equity team, took over the reigns in May replacing a quantitative, enhanced index process with a fundamental, research-based strategy.
Within information technology, the Portfolio benefited from holding stocks such as Jabil Circuit, Business Objects, Activision and Qualcomm. Jabil is benefiting from the continuing industry trend towards outsourced manufacturing. Product designers, such as chip companies and packaged product makers HP and Cisco, are increasingly outsourcing their end product manufacturing to foundries and contract manufacturers like Jabil Circuit. Activision introduced a series of new video games consistent with the replacement cycle in the video game console arena. The Portfolio also benefited from owning Qualcomm; however, we sold the stock in November of 2005, believing the substantial licensing revenues the company enjoyed would soon be in jeopardy.
The Portfolio’s energy holdings performed well and confirmed our belief that the better business models, the more attractive valuations, and the strongest links to the strength in commodity prices were to be found in the equipment and services companies rather than in the large integrated players, such as Exxon and Chevron. Schlumberger and ENSCO International provide services and equipment to exploration and production companies and are benefiting from the upswing in capital spending in the sector, and they contributed positively to performance. Another important contributor to performance was our overweighting in independent exploration and production concerns, such as EOG Resources, XTO Energy and Plains Exploration & Production. These independent companies are more niche like and more likely to find oil and gas that they can sell at market prices vis a vis their larger competitors.
Within the materials sector, Dow Chemical and Alcoa detracted from performance, as the broader sector traded down. Investors believed the petrochemicals and raw materials profit cycle was reaching its conclusion, and that profit margins would begin to suffer due to higher oil prices that could not easily be passed through to the customer. Alcoa disappointed investors early in the year after their first quarter earnings came in below expectations. Many investors had bid up the shares in anticipation of a strong report.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our current strategy is focused on companies with superior capital allocation, strong competitive position, and operations in industries with attractive outlooks. Key holdings, such as Jabil Circuit, Dresser Rand Group and Halliburton exhibit strong fundamentals, clear catalysts for market recognition and attractive valuations.
Halliburton continues to offer upside potential in the energy services space, even after performing strongly in 2005. We believe the stock may benefit greatly in 2006 if management spins off their engineering and construction subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root. More broadly, we like other energy services stocks based on our forecast for continued robust spending by producers and refiners on creating new production capacity to meet global demand. This bodes well for drillers like ENSCO, who provide contract drilling services to the oil and gas industry. ENSCO enjoys a strong competitive position due to its state of the art fleet of offshore drilling rigs.
Our technology holdings reflect our belief that the industry is in a maturation cycle and companies are looking to outsource low return-on-capital endeavors such as production and manufacturing. Contract manufacturers like Jabil Circuit and Taiwan Semiconductor continue to benefit from the growth in outsourcing and are well positioned to increase their already dominant market shares.

The ING Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Herbert Elhers, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 1.90% compared to the Standard & Poor’s Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500”) Index, which returned 4.91% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The main source of the under performance for the year was adverse stock selection in the financials, industrials, and technology sectors.
During the 2005 year, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. reported that its earnings would fall short of analysts’ expectations. The company cited concerns about the impact of high oil prices on low-income consumers. Despite the recent weakness, we believe that Wal-Mart’s long-term growth will be supported by its U.S. grocery effort as it currently has a 12-14% market share. We believe that this figure may potentially be higher as the company increases its presence in this area. We also feel that Wal-Mart’s international business, which currently constitutes between 15-20% of sales, should proliferate and help the company sustain strong long-term growth.
At the beginning of November of 2005, Dell Inc. lowered its earnings guidance for its recently completed fiscal third quarter, driving its stock down. The reduced expectations for growth were attributed to restructuring and faulty computer component charges. Although Dell is in the midst of a turnaround, refocusing on profitability versus volume, we do not believe that its business model is broken. As Dell works through some of its near-term issues, we believe the market will realize that some of the problems facing Dell are transitional, and are not all secular in nature.
Despite being a detractor for the year, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) began a rally during the fourth quarter as the company announced a $2 billion stock buyback plan. We believe this indicates that Freddie Mac is focused on strengthening its business. The company currently holds an additional $4.8 billion in excess capital above the imposed capital surcharge. When Freddie Mac finalizes its updated financial report, we believe it should receive approval from its regulator, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), thereby increasing its financial flexibility. It is our belief that when this occurs, Freddie will use some of the excess capital to buy back stock more aggressively.
While the Energy sector demonstrated strength again this year, outperformance of the Portfolio’s energy holdings was driven by stock selection. Many energy companies’ earnings are directly linked to the price of oil. Schlumberger Ltd, however, is not in the business of buying or selling oil - it is in the business of testing to determine the presence of oil. With oil reserves becoming harder to find and the size of new discoveries shrinking, it is likely that more wells will need to be drilled in order to meet global oil demand. For Schlumberger, more wells translate into more testing services. While the exploration companies’ drilling efforts require large capital investments, we believe Schlumberger’s testing services are less capital intensive. Since it does not have much of a manufacturing base, Schlumberger’s return on capital has increased sharply.
The Portfolio’s ratings agencies, McGraw-Hill Companies, which owns Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), and Moody’s Corp. performed well in during the year. These businesses meet our investment criteria as they operate in an industry environment that can be characterized as quasi-monopolistic or a “partnership-monopoly.” This is because most issuers tend to have at least two ratings, one from each agency. As a result, S&P and Moody’s rate approximately 90% of the debt issuance in the U.S. We believe their growth is sustainable because it is supported by favorable secular trends such as the globalization of capitalism, deregulation, and financial innovation.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We have pared the number of stocks in the Portfolio, reflecting the confidence we have in these companies and the potential for their shares to perform well as they are recognized by investors. In several instances, on both a stock and sector level, the Portfolio is meaningfully different from its benchmark, thus representing potential sources of strong relative returns. For example, we are underweight in Cyclicals, as most of these businesses do not typically meet our investment criteria because their revenues predominantly depend on the increasing price of an underlying commodity. We believe the holdings in the Portfolio are of the highest quality and are financially healthy, as evidenced by the fact that virtually all of these companies generate free cash flow.

The ING Goldman Sachs Core Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term growth of capital and dividend income. The Portfolio is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Melissa R. Brown, CFA, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, and Gary Chropuvka, CFA, Vice President and Head of Portfolio Implementation, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 5.54% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500”) Index, which returned 4.91% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: In managing the CORESM products, we do not take size or sector bets. We hope to add value versus each Portfolio’s respective index by individual stock selection. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive, and companies with strong profit margins, sustainable earnings, and that use their capital to enhance shareholder value. Over the long term, these factors have led to excess returns, and they are not highly correlated, which diversifies the Portfolio’s sources of returns.
The Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Index for the year ended December 31, 2005. Returns to the CORE investment themes were positive for the period. Momentum and Valuation were the biggest positive contributors to relative returns, as inexpensive companies with strong momentum characteristics outperformed their industry counterparts. Earnings Quality also contributed significantly, followed by Management Impact, Profitability, and Analyst Sentiment.
Stock selection was positive in six of the ten sectors for the year. The Portfolio’s holdings in the energy sector outperformed their peers in the benchmark the most. Holdings in the financials and information technology sectors also contributed positively to relative performance. Conversely, holdings in the consumer discretionary, and healthcare sectors detracted the most relative to the benchmark for the period.
In individual stocks, overweight positions in Burlington Resources Inc., Google Inc., and Sunoco Inc. were among the top contributors to the Portfolio’s relative performance. On the downside, overweights in Biogen Idec Inc. and Harman International Industries Inc. along with an underweight in eBay Inc. detracted the most from relative returns over the 2005 year.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Looking ahead, we continue to believe that cheaper stocks should outpace more expensive ones and good momentum stocks should do better than poor momentum stocks. We also prefer names about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive and companies that are profitable, have sustainable earnings and use their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested and expect that the value we add over time will be due to stock selection, as opposed to sector or size allocations. The Goldman Sachs Core Equity Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in U.S. issuers. The Portfolio is subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions.

The ING JPMorgan Fleming International Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by a team of investment professionals led by Howard Williams, James Fisher and Tim Leask, J.P. Morgan Fleming Asset Management Limited (London) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 9.95% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE®”) Index, which returned 14.02% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection was the primary source of performance. At a regional level, our exposure to emerging markets contributed positively to performance, while Europe, especially the United Kingdom and an underweight in Japan detracted the most. From a sector perspective, stock selection in information technology and an under weighting in telecommunications aided returns the most, while consumer discretionary, financials and industrials detracted.
Mitsubishi Corp., the Japanese trading company, had a tremendous year, outperforming the local and international markets. The company benefited from the weakening yen, as have all the major exporters, and experienced strong cyclical trends across its major divisions. We continue to find shares attractively valued at current levels and believe that continued strong performance across the company’s Portfolio of businesses should drive earnings higher.
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD), the Brazilian mining company, had another spectacular year as investors looked to participate in the commodity rally, buoyed by significant price rises in the iron ore market. We continue to believe that the company should benefit from ongoing Asian demand for iron ore and realize meaningful prices rises in 2006. Furthermore, CVRD continues to demonstrate a disciplined use of cash, has an attractive dividend yield and its shares remain at a sizeable discount to its global peers.
Holdings that detracted from performance, included Kingfisher, the European home-improvement retailer. The company was a disappointing performer following a profit warning earlier in the year, driven by significant deterioration in consumer spending in its core U.K. market. However, a meeting with management gave us more comfort with their strategy of focusing on improving returns in mature domestic markets and reinvesting cash flows in emerging geographies.
Global telecommunications company Vodafone was a disappointing performer in the period, as was most of the telecommunications sector. Investors focused on concerns about the company’s operations in Japan, which remain under pressure combined with increased competition in Europe. We continue to believe the company is focused on delivering of shareholder value, as demonstrated in recent moves to increase the dividend. We find the stock attractively valued at current levels.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to believe that global gross domestic product (“GDP”) will grow in 2006, although at a slower pace than 2005. The ultimate level of U.S. economic expansion will be determined by the ability of the Federal Reserve to suppress inflation while simultaneously keeping consumer demand buoyant. Conflicting forces are at work with, for example, the benefit of lower gas prices being offset by early signs of a slowing housing market. Elsewhere, notably in the euro zone and Japan, modest GDP expansion is expected, driven for the latter by ongoing bottom-up corporate restructuring. We prefer these two markets over North America in our global mandates.
The outlook for global equity markets remains constructive. However, with risk appetite unusually high, equities may be vulnerable to any bad news that could emerge in the near term. Markets are certainly not expensive at current levels, though increasingly we see limited opportunities for broad-based upward earnings revisions. We remain focused on companies that we believe have meaningful scope for earnings upgrades and multiples expansion, as these businesses can differentiate themselves from the broader stock — market due to their outstanding growth characteristics.

The ING JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks growth from capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Jonathan K.L. Simon and Lawrence Playford, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 8.49% compared to the Russell MidCap® Value Index, which returned 12.65% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: U.S. equity market activity in 2005 was dominated by the outlook for interest rates, as economic data was intensely scrutinized to anticipate a pause in rate hikes by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Although there were headwinds, particularly a slowdown in growth and a rise in inflation following the hurricanes of late summer, the economy and continued strength in corporate profits generally supported equity gains in 2005.
The Portfolio underperformed the benchmark mostly due to overall stock selection in the consumer discretionary and materials sectors. Consumers were faced with the headwinds of higher interest rates, increasing winter heating costs and a softening U.S. housing market while many materials manufacturers encountered increased costs associated with higher energy prices.
At the individual stock level, IPC Holdings Ltd. and Gannett Co., Inc. were among the larger detractors to performance. IPC Holdings, a provider of property catastrophe reinsurance, announced significant insured losses from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Despite relatively stable operating results prior to the hurricanes, the storms negatively impacted the company’s third-quarter financial results. Gannett Co., a U.S.-based news and information company, experienced weaker revenues throughout the year as significantly lower political ad spending in its broadcasting segment and weaker ad demand in Britain pulled down results.
The Portfolio was positively impacted by overall stock selection in the industrials and consumer staples sectors. Burlington Resources, Inc. and Coventry Health Care Inc. were among the top individual contributors to performance. Burlington Resources, Inc. an energy exploration and production company, reported strong results throughout the year from higher energy prices, production growth and accelerated share repurchases. In addition the stock strengthened in December of 2005 as the company agreed to be acquired by ConocoPhillips. Coventry Health Care, a managed healthcare company, experienced accelerated earning growth in 2005 from improving margins and realized synergies from its acquisition of First Health Group Corporation.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We still expect U.S. growth to decelerate in early 2006 as further Federal Reserve tightening and a slowing housing market eventually impact consumer spending, but we are not forecasting a recession. The U.S. Treasury yield curve may invert and companies may become slightly more cautious in their spending, but the U.S. economy has repeatedly shown that it is likely to weather the bumps along the way to a non-inflationary expansion. We expect another positive but choppy year for U.S. equities in 2006, with returns likely in the high single digits. Valuation factors remain strongly in favor of equities and a range of indicators suggests that stocks are generally inexpensive, relative to both their history and to other asset classes.
We employ a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing portfolios based on company fundamentals, quantitative screening, and proprietary fundamental analysis. Our aim is to identify and invest in undervalued companies that have the potential to grow their intrinsic values per share.

The ING MFS Capital Opportunities Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Jeffrey C. Constantino, Vice President and Gregory W. Locraft, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Managers, Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS”) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class I shares provided a total return of 1.56%, compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500”) Index, which returned 4.91% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Health care, retailing, and financial services were the Portfolio’s top contributing sectors over the 2005 reporting period. In health care, a combination of stock selection and an overweighted position in the sector boosted relative results. Our holdings in drug company MedImmune and our avoidance of poor-performing pharmaceutical giant Pfizer were among the Portfolio’s top contributors.
Although positive relative contribution from the retailing and financial services sectors resulted primarily from superior stock selection, no individual stocks within either sector were among the portfolio’s top contributors.
Several energy holdings helped relative performance during the 2005 year. These included our positions in drilling rig operator Global Santa Fe and oil and gas equipment manufacturer Cooper Cameron, neither of which are benchmark constituents. Devon Energy, offshore drilling company Noble Corp, and oilfield services provider BJ Services were also among the top contributors.
Other investments that added to the portfolio’s performance included our overweighted positions in software developer Compuware and cell phone manufacturer Nokia, which is not a benchmark constituent.
Relative to the portfolio’s benchmark, utilities & communications, technology, leisure, and basic materials were the portfolio’s weakest-contributing sectors over the 2005 year. In all four sectors, stock selection detracted from relative returns. In the utilities & communications sector, our overweighted positions in power producer Calpine and telecom services provider Verizon were among the portfolio’s top detractors for the 2005 year.
In technology, our holdings in network security software company Symantec, global telecom equipment maker Nortel Networks, which is not a benchmark constituent, and not holding strong-performing Apple Computer held back relative results.
A combination of stock selection and an overweighted position in the leisure sector dampened investment performance. Our holdings in advertising and marketing services company Interpublic Group and media giant Viacom detracted from relative returns.
In basic materials, our holdings in newsprint maker Bowater, which is not a benchmark constituent, held back returns.
Stocks in other sectors that negatively impacted performance included our overweighted positions in poor-performing health services provider Tenet Healthcare and manufacturing conglomerate Tyco International.
During the reporting period, our currency exposure was also a detractor from the portfolio’s relative performance. All of MFS’ investment decisions are driven by the fundamentals of each individual opportunity and, as such, it is common for our portfolios to have different currency exposure than the benchmark.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Greg Locraft and Jeff Constantino, the new portfolio management team as of December 6, 2005, manage the portfolio as a flexible core investment portfolio utilizing growth, value and core positions in companies with market capitalizations greater than $1 billion. We take a bottom-up focus on winners and losers in industries rather than a macro economic or sector focus, leveraging the in-depth research work of the MFS global sector terms. We take a long term view and evaluate securities over a three year holding period with a preference for position concentration (50-100 names) and low turnover. Investments center on 3 types of opportunities:
Sustainable growth: seek companies with open ended growth opportunities
Contrarian value: focus on companies that are heavily out of favor trading below their intrinsic value
Growth at a reasonable price: own companies with very high barriers to entry trading at reasonable valuations.

The ING OpCap Balanced Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks capital growth, and secondarily, investment income. The Portfolio is managed by Colin Glinsman, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer, OpCap Advisors LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 2.70% compared to the Composite Index (60% Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price® (“S&P”) Index/40% Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index), which returned 4.21% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: After struggling to start the year in the face of rising energy prices and mixed economic signals, stocks posted modest gains in each of the last three quarters to end 2005 with returns in the mid-single digits. International equities outperformed domestic equities by a wide margin for the year. Japan, South Korea, and Canada were among the year’s best performing equity markets. Fundamental economic improvement in Europe and Japan, low global interest rates, and strong economic growth in Asia were major performance catalysts for the year.
Large-cap stocks generally outperformed small-caps for the first time in seven years while value stocks held on to their lead over growth with strong relative performance in the first quarter. Energy and utilities stocks were the best performers in 2005 while consumer discretionary and telecom stocks were the poorest performers for the year.
In the equity portion of the Portfolio, an overweighting and strong stock selection in the energy sector contributed to Portfolio performance for the year. In particular, a large position in ConocoPhillips and exposure to XTO Energy were key contributors. The Portfolio also benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector.
Conversely, stock selection in the consumer staples sector detracted from Portfolio performance. A large position in Wal-Mart underperformed as the company suffered earnings weakness as high oil prices cut into the lower-end of consumer demand. The stock has since been sold from the Portfolio.
In addition, our underweighting in utilities was a detractor, but we believe this positioning will bolster the Portfolio going forward as higher interest rates begin to dampen investors’ reach for yield in the dividend-paying utility sector.
The fixed income portion of the Portfolio consisted of corporate bonds with maturities less than ten years. A shorter than index duration was maintained during the year, which accounted for the fixed income portion outperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index. Bonds struggled during 2005 as the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) remained committed to raising rates in order to stave off future inflation. This impacted the bond market, particularly in the five year part of the yield curve, where the portfolio was underweighted. Looking down the road, we perceive the Fed will be near the end of its tightening cycle sometime in 2006 which could have implications for a shift in the yield curve towards a more normal positive slope.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our positive expectations for Japan continue to materialize, with recent developments reaffirming the country’s commitment to economic reform and recovery. Job growth, consumer spending and price stability are improving, providing a favorable backdrop for Japan to emerge from its 15 years of economic stagnation.
In Europe, we believe labor reforms will progress regardless of politics, enabling regional economic potential to be better realized. The lower euro should continue to provide a tail-wind for the European export sector and help corporate earnings accelerate further.
Currency movements in 2005 were mostly dictated by interest-rate moves in the U.S. Given the likely rise in European interest rates and end to U.S. tightening, we think the euro will probably strengthen versus the dollar in 2006, as well as versus the pound and yen.
In the U.S., economic fundamentals, corporate profitability and equity valuations remain favorable heading into 2006. The Portfolio remains invested in attractively valued stocks that are poised to benefit from a relatively stable interest rate environment and a continuation of a multi-year expansionary period.

The ING Oppenheimer Global Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by William L. Wilby, Senior Vice President and Senior Investment Officer, Director of Equities, and Rajeev Bhaman, Vice President, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 13.27% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Country World® Index, which returned 11.37% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: It is important to bear in mind that a discussion of the stocks that added to or detracted from performance is merely meant to illustrate our investment approach rather than suggest any attempt to make a country, sector or thematic bet. With that logic in mind, the Portfolio actually benefited from quite a few of its holdings, mostly for company-specific reasons. Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world’s largest shipbuilder, was one of the Portfolio’s best performing stocks. A long-term holding for us, we bought the stock on the belief that the average tanker age was high and the move toward double-hulled tankers would create a demand for new ship construction. The stock was very reasonably priced due to some concerns over their ownership of non-core businesses, among other things. Those issues have now been resolved and the stock more than doubled during the reporting period.
Against the benchmark, stock selection was particularly favorable in the U.S. This was partially offset by adverse selection in the United Kingdom and Japan. Exposure to emerging markets added materially to performance.
Another winner for the Portfolio was AMD, whose new dual core processor chip achieved significant traction in the server market ahead of Intel’s competitive offering. The market’s skepticism of AMD’s competitive position turned to acceptance over the period helping the stock’s rise.
Otherwise, two of the Portfolio’s energy stocks – Husky Energy, Inc. and Transocean, Inc. – an oil reserves company and driller, respectively, helped fuel performance due to the rising cost of oil and natural gas.
On balance, a few of the Portfolio’s stocks hindered returns during the reporting period, including JDS Uniphase Corp., an optical components company. We had bought this stock in previous years believing that there was a significant opportunity for a turnaround and that the risk was reflected in its stock price. However, the turnaround never materialized and we have since sold the stock. Another negative contributor was Vodafone. As one of our largest holdings Vodafone has yet to deliver performance in line with our expectations. A slow market in Europe coupled with greater than expected expenditure in Japan and a realized tax change all contributed to hurt expected results. A lengthening of the sales cycle in video conferencing technology led to earnings disappointments at Tandberg, one of our poorest performers. We believe the technology has merit, which will allow for adoption in the coming year. Our holdings in International Game Technology, the world’s largest manufacturer of casino gaming machines, also disappointed. The company’s earnings growth did not meet investors’ expectations and consequently, its stock price fell. However, we believe the long-term prospects remain strong, the company is a leader in its industry and its stock is reasonably priced. Therefore, we added modestly to the stock on its weakness.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our investment themes of Mass Affluence, New Technologies, Restructuring and Aging (“MANTRA”) provide a number of well-stocked pools in which to fish. The luxury goods industry is a business that fits into our mass affluence theme which we see as offering long-term growth opportunities. This is especially true in the Far East where we’re seeing substantial economic growth and where people are very fashion conscious. To that end, we own shares in LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton, the spirits and fine leather goods firm. We like this company because it offers leading brands in each of its categories, including one of the world’s most important champagne houses (the company owns Dom Perignon).
We are also finding very good opportunities in Health Care including in Pharmaceuticals. New drugs to treat unmet needs in cancer and diabetes, vaccines to prevent flu and new antibiotics should drive higher than average profits growth in this industry for the foreseeable future.

The ING Oppenheimer Strategic Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks a high level of current income principally derived from interest on debt securities. The Portfolio is managed by Arthur P. Steinmetz, Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S shares provided a total return of 0.84% compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 2.43% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the reporting period, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board continued to raise the overnight Federal Funds Rate, driving it from 2.25% to 4.25%. However, contrary to historical norms, longer term bond yields remained remarkably resilient, ending the reporting period close to where they began. In addition, bond prices were supported by investors’ low inflation expectations and robust demand from overseas investors, including central banks in Asia.
Unlike the United States, interest rates in most international markets remained in a relatively narrow range, and the Portfolio’s international holdings were influenced mainly by changes in currency exchange rates. After appreciating against the U.S. dollar through most of 2004, the euro and yen weakened during 2005. The yield advantage offered by U.S. Treasury securities over government bonds in Europe and Japan caused foreign capital to flow into the U.S. financial markets. Consequently, bonds from developed markets lost a modest amount of value in U.S. dollar terms. Conversely, higher yields and improving credit characteristics in the emerging markets helped attract investment capital, supporting local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Therefore, emerging-market bonds performed quite well for U.S. investors.
During the spring of 2005, we shifted the Portfolio’s emphasis in its international portfolio from bonds of developed nations to the emerging markets. We focused on unhedged positions in countries where we expected fiscal improvements to attract more investment capital. Despite a mildly underweighted position, the Portfolio also achieved relatively strong results through its investments in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds from the emerging markets.
We maintained relatively light exposure to the high yield corporate bond market due to historically narrow yield differences between high yield securities and U.S. Treasuries. The Portfolio added value through our emphasis on higher quality securities from issuers with strong cash flows, such as cell tower operators and energy companies.
Finally, we maintained a generally neutral posture with regard to U.S. government securities. We set the Portfolio’s average duration in a range we considered to be in line with industry averages, and we placed a modest emphasis on mortgage-backed securities that we believed would be less sensitive to prepayment risks. This strategy enabled the Portfolio to capture higher yields while effectively managing the risks of higher short-term interest rates.
Current Strategy and Outlook: When the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in mid-December 2005, the language in its accompanying statement indicated that it may be approaching the end of the current credit-tightening cycle. While this could prove to be a positive influence on U.S. government securities and high yield corporate bonds, rich valuations and unexpected changes in the rate of economic growth could forestall potential rallies.
In international markets, we have maintained the Portfolio’s emphasis on nations, such as Brazil and Turkey, where falling interest rates and lower inflation may create further opportunities. In contrast, interest rates are already low in Europe and Japan, leaving little room for further cuts.
As always, we intend to monitor economic and market developments, and to adjust our strategies accordingly.

The ING PIMCO Total Return Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks maximum total return, consistent with capital preservation and prudent investment management. The Portfolio is managed by Pasi Hamalainen, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 2.08% compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 2.43% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Bonds gained ground in 2005, leaning against the headwinds of 200 basis points of Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tightening and concern that higher energy prices would fuel inflation. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index of high-grade U.S. bonds, returned 2.43% for the year. The benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yield ended the quarter at 4.40%, 17 basis points higher than at the start of the year. Bond markets were dominated during 2005 by speculation about the pace and duration of the Fed’s tightening cycle. The U.S. central bank raised the federal funds rate in 25 basis point increments at each of its eight meetings during the year, including twice during the final quarter to 4.25%.
Broad diversification helped returns for all of 2005 amid a challenging environment for bonds. Above-index duration detracted from performance as interest rates rose during the year. An overweight to shorter maturities hurt returns, as the yield curve continued to flatten as short rates rose. Mortgage security selection helped returns, which offset the negative impact of a sector overweight, as mortgages lagged like-duration Treasuries. An underweight to corporates was positive, as they trailed U.S. Treasuries as credit premiums widened. Most government bond markets outside the U.S. outperformed Treasuries for all of 2005, as economic growth was generally slower and rate increases milder outside the U.S. Emerging market bonds, the best performing fixed income sector for the year, helped performance, as investors continued to be drawn to their improving credit fundamentals. Treasury inflation protected securities modestly outpaced like-duration nominals for the full year, however, supported by high consumer price index accruals. Municipal securities helped returns, as they usually outperform as interest rates rise.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe the U.S. economy should grow more slowly over the next year as the housing market cools and consumer spending grows more in line with incomes. The Fed should stop tightening early in 2006; yields on 1-5 year Treasuries may fall as much as 100 basis points this year as markets anticipate the start of Fed easing. Inflation should be well contained, as commodity prices are moderating after their post-Katrina rally, with little pass-through of higher energy prices into core U.S. inflation. More importantly, the long-run economic trend of an expanding global labor supply (in China, India and Brazil, for example) will put downward pressure on the price of labor, making a wage-induced boost in inflation highly unlikely. The PIMCO Total Return Portfolio will continue to take moderate risks across a variety of strategies that are expected to add value in a slowing U.S. economy. Exposures will focus mainly on the U.S., where we see better value at present.

The ING Salomon Brothers Aggressive Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by a team of individuals led by Richie Freeman, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc – the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class I Shares provided a total return of 11.44% compared to the Russell 3000® Growth Index and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P”) Index, which returned 5.17% and 4.91%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: After a lackluster start to 2005, we saw the market’s mood switch dramatically in April, as investors reached levels of pessimism we had not seen for sometime. These rarely seen extreme levels of bearish sentiment often foreshadow a market recovery and we viewed the shift as a very positive sign for the markets. Following the April lows, the market experienced a healthy rally in the second quarter, but gave back a portion of those gains as investors grew increasingly negative again. By the end of the third quarter, another wave of troubling headlines including the Gulf Coast hurricanes and continued rising short-term interest rates contributed to investor unease. However, we remained bullish. Again, the market rallied strongly in late October and continued on an upswing as several major equity indices reached or neared multi-year highs before they started to plateau to close out the year.
Both stock selection and sector allocation contributed positively to relative Portfolio performance for the year, with sector allocation accounting for the majority of outperformance. Energy stocks were clearly the biggest winners for the past year, buoyed by crude oil’s temporary spike to over $70 per barrel in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The Portfolio’s overweight position in energy, with a focus on oil production services and equipment stocks, was the leading contributor to relative performance. Despite an underweight position in information technology (“IT”), the sector also made a meaningful contribution to performance. It was those IT companies that were able to meet and exceed expectations while building strong franchises and solid balance sheets that were most heavily rewarded. We continue to think that stock selection within the IT sector is vital and we look for those companies which are entering secular, long-term periods of earnings growth.
The Portfolio’s overweight position in health care, with a concentration in biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals, along with a significant holding in the managed care industry, had a positive absolute return but detracted from relative performance. Biotechnology is not a new area for us but we believe the biotech industry in general will remain an important driver of growth going forward and we continue to look for investments in selected areas, such as targeted oncology. While our financial sector holdings contributed significantly to relative Portfolio performance for the year, holdings in the consumer discretionary sector, especially our cable TV holdings, and industrials sector stocks detracted from relative performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: At December 31, 2005, the Portfolio remained overweight in healthcare, energy, financials and consumer discretionary, with underweights in industrials, information technology and telecommunications services and no significant holdings in consumer staples, materials or utilities. The Portfolio’s top ten holdings were Weatherford International Ltd., UnitedHealth Group Inc., Amgen Inc., Anadarko Petroleum Corp., Forest Laboratories, Inc., Comcast Corp., Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., Chiron Corp. and Genzyme Corp.
Our outlook remains very optimistic. With the economy showing signs of slowing, we believe the Federal Reserve Board will likely end its tightening cycle sooner rather than later. We also see a significant amount of liquidity that is likely to find its way into equities and help drive the next bull market. We’ve already seen a lot of consolidation and stock buyback activity in 2005, both positive signs for the market in our opinion, which we think will accelerate in 2006.
While our focus is always on the stocks we own and those candidates we think might make appropriate holdings, regardless of the market conditions, we think the wind has been at the market’s side for the past few years but could actually be at its back in the new year.

The ING Salomon Brothers Large Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by a team of individuals led by Alan Blake, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc. – the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 5.02% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P”) Index and the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 4.91% and 5.26%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Looking back at 2005, after early weakness through the first quarter, the markets improved during the summer on the back of good economic data, positive corporate profits and lower oil prices, only to sell-off sharply early in the fall as investors were hit with the uncertainty surrounding Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the pending challenges of rebuilding. Showing considerable resilience, a year-end rally led by strong earnings and weaker oil prices began in late October and produced positive full-year returns for almost all major equity indexes. High quality companies (small, medium and large) have led this rally and we expect this trend to continue into 2006. Also of note, we have begun to see the resurgence of interest in growth stocks in what has been a decidedly value-oriented market over the last 4-5 years. Investors have shown interest in companies that can generate consistent earnings-per-share (EPS) growth and organic revenue growth, as opposed to reliance on broad moves in the economy. Furthermore, many years of cost cutting have allowed leadership companies to operate near peak margins while allowing more revenue to drop to the bottom line.
Over the last 12 months, the markets traded in one of the tightest ranges of the last 15 years, making stock selection paramount to performance in managing a concentrated, low-turnover portfolio. We believe this will continue to be the case in the coming year. The markets are also trading at 9-year lows on a price-to-earnings basis even though interest rates and inflation remain benign. It is our belief that given this scenario, the market can support significantly higher multiples for true growth companies. Those leading companies that have been able to expand market share, return capital to shareholders (in the form of buybacks and dividend increases), while still investing significant free cash flows into growth strategies, we find very attractive.
For the year, the effect of sector allocation on relative performance was negative, but the impact of stock selection was positive. The information technology and consumer staples sectors made the biggest contributions to relative performance followed by the health care and financials sectors. Leading detractors from relative performance were the energy, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. Top stock contributors to performance included Genentech Inc., Gillette, Red Hat Inc., Texas Instruments Inc. and Amgen Inc, while top detractors included Biogen Idec Inc., Dell Inc., Time Warner Inc., Juniper Networks Inc. and Lucent Technologies Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: At December 31, 2005, the Portfolio remained overweight in the consumer discretionary, health care, information technology and financials sectors, and was underweight in the industrials and consumer staples sectors, with no significant holdings in the energy, utilities, telecommunications services or materials sectors. The Portfolio’s top ten holdings at the end of the period were Amazon.com Inc., Genentech Inc., Amgen Inc., Texas Instruments Inc., Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc., Motorola Inc., Procter & Gamble Co. (which acquired existing Portfolio holding Gillette in the fourth quarter), Time Warner Inc., Home Depot Inc., and Biogen Idec Inc.
Looking ahead, our goal remains to build the highest quality portfolio of companies with strong long-term growth prospects in our favored sectors.

The ING T. Rowe Price Diversified Mid Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by a committee of investment professionals chaired by Donald J. Peters, Vice President, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. – the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 8.96% compared to the Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Index and the Russell MidCap® Growth Index, which returned 12.56% and 12.10%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: U.S. equities produced a third consecutive year of positive returns in 2005, despite soaring energy costs. Firm economic and corporate earnings growth and merger activity lent support to stock prices, which finished 2005 near their highest levels of the year amid hopes that the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) would soon stop raising short-term interest rates. Mid-cap stocks decisively outperformed their small- and large-cap counterparts.
Throughout the 12-month period, we consistently adhered to our investment process. Our process combines bottom-up fundamental research with quantitative analysis to build a diversified portfolio of attractively priced companies with the potential for above-average earnings growth.
The Portfolio’s increase in 2005 was broad-based, with nearly all the sectors of investment registering gains except consumer discretionary and consumer staples. Absolute returns were strongest in the telecommunications services and energy sectors, where the average holding rose by more than 60% and 55%, respectively. Compared to the Russell MidCap® Growth Index, the Portfolio trailed. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector had the largest negative impact on relative results. Within the consumer discretionary sector, select holdings in the hotels, restaurants, and leisure industry were weak, including Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and Shuffle Master, a manufacturer of products for the gaming industry. In addition, a number of retailers weighed on relative performance, including Family Dollar Stores and PetSmart. The Portfolio’s energy holdings were another key source of weakness versus the benchmark in 2005. While the Portfolio’s energy investments kept up with the energy stocks in the benchmark, an underweight in the sector was unfavorable. Energy was the best-performing group in the Russell MidCap Index during the year amid soaring oil prices.
On the plus side, stock selection in the health care sector had the largest positive impact on performance versus the Russell MidCap® Growth Index. Vertex Pharmaceutical, Techne Corporation, and Amylin Pharmaceuticals – biotechnology companies with strong product pipelines – all did exceedingly well during the year. Our holdings in health care providers and services companies also outperformed, including Coventry Health Care and Express Scripts. Telecommunications services was another major contributor to relative performance due to stock selection and an overweight in the sector.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We are optimistic on the equity market in 2006. The economy will likely soften from its rapid 2005 pace, but growth should remain solid. Solid economic growth, combined with reasonably low inflation and interest rates (with the Fed nearing the end of rate increases), should translate into continued healthy growth in corporate profits.
In terms of the Portfolio’s positioning, sector and industry weightings are largely driven by company-specific fundamental and quantitative analysis. While our process is very bottom-up in nature, we do maintain a bias toward industries in which we have high confidence and which offer the most attractive risk/reward scenarios. For example, in the energy sector, the Portfolio’s exposure is tilted toward equipment and services companies, which tend to have better business models and are less sensitive to changes in commodity prices than oil and gas producers.
Fundamentals of the companies in your Portfolio remain very strong, supported by a good environment for growth-oriented equities. Our fully invested approach focuses on strong businesses and management teams with a long-term orientation. As the economic recovery matures, we will look for our strategy to benefit from its focus on companies with consistent earnings growth.

The ING T. Rowe Price Growth Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term capital growth, and secondarily, increasing dividend income. The Portfolio is managed by a committee of investment professionals chaired by Robert W. Smith, Vice President, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. – the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class I Shares provided a total return of 6.17% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P”) Index, which returned 4.91% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: With the price of oil rising for most of the year, energy and utilities stocks dominated the market until the fourth quarter, when they gave back some of their tremendous earlier gains. But higher energy prices and rising interest rates were hard on the consumer, and many consumer-oriented stocks struggled. Growth companies in many sectors – healthcare and technology, for example – had solid business performance but had a hard time being noticed.
As a consequence, value stocks were generally again ahead of growth for the year. However, growth outperformed value in the second half. Strong performances by capital markets firms, healthcare services and biotechs, and Internet companies led the way as oil and utilities stocks slowed.
Our positioning in healthcare made the largest contribution to our outperformance. The healthcare-services segment made consistent gains and our stock choices fared especially well. Leading contributors in this area included UnitedHealth and Wellpoint, both of which reported good earnings with continuing improvements in cost and pricing trends. In addition, key holdings in the biotechnology segment, notably Genentech and Gilead Sciences, advanced on positive drug developments.
Even though short-term interest rates rose throughout the year, many segments of the financials sector performed well. On an absolute basis, the financials sector achieved notable results in the Portfolio. Our focus on capital markets companies made a significant contribution on a relative basis as well, with State Street, UBS, Ameritrade, and others posting strong returns. For most of the past year, we have focused on capital markets companies because we believe they have good earnings prospects and will not be unduly harmed by the rising interest-rate environment.
Our stock selection in the telecommunications services sector also added value over the benchmark. Most notably, our positions in Latin America wireless provider America Movil and tower operator Crown Castle were strong performers, benefiting from subscriber growth and industry consolidation. We remain overweighted in this sector with a focus on the larger wireless service providers and tower operators.
The good results in these areas helped overcome some challenges. An underweight in the surging energy sector – a common position for a growth portfolio – held us back compared with the benchmark. We were also well exposed to the weakening consumer sectors, and our overweight on media companies in this sector proved especially unhelpful. But the largest detractor for the period was our position in the industrials and business services sector. Many of our chosen stocks, including Cendant, Tyco, and Deere, did not live up to our expectations and weighed down our relative results.
Current Strategy and Outlook: For 2006, we expect slower but still solid economic growth and slowing inflation. In this environment, we are optimistic that the companies we have invested in will be able to sustain double-digit growth. We are also hopeful that as the market turns its attention to growth stocks, it will begin to reward companies such as GE and Microsoft which have generated good operational performance but remain notably undervalued.

The ING UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term growth of capital and future income. The Portfolio is managed by the North American Equities Investment Management Team (“N.A. Equities Team”) led by John Leonard, Portfolio Manager, Head of N.A. Equities Team, and Deputy Global head of Equities and Managing Director, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. – the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class I Shares provided a total return of 9.38% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P”) Index and the Russell 1000® Index, which returned 4.91% and 6.27%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Equities were generally flat for the first three quarters of 2005, as many investors seemed to express concern over the overall health of the economy, the potential for inflation, and rising interest rates. These fears proved to be overblown, and a number of factors combined to drive a year-end market rally: Ben Bernanke was named as the successor to Alan Greenspan as Chairman of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”); oil prices dropped back into the $60 range, coming off their record highs of over $70 a barrel earlier in the year; corporate profitability remained robust; and consumer confidence, after soaring in November, climbed again in December. While the economy’s growth is slowing (but still strong), the market seems to believe the Fed has established an implicit cap of 4.5% or 4.75% for short term rates, after raising rates twice in the quarter to bring the federal funds rate to 4.25%. In addition, housing is holding up, staving off concerns, at least for the near term, of the bursting of the much discussed “housing bubble.”
As always, during the year we relied on our bottom-up research process to guide sector allocation and stock selection for the Portfolio. Overall, this process led us to avoid energy stocks, which ultimately detracted from performance. However this was mostly recovered by being overweight in utilities and underweight in technology. Stock selection was generally favorable especially in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors.
With regard to the oil and gas industry, we believe the recent broad-based increase in energy prices (partially due to the hurricanes) poses a threat to short-term growth in the U.S. and elsewhere. While inflation was tame over the year, with consumer and producer price measures registering fairly low levels of growth (particularly the “core” measures that exclude volatile components such as energy) we nonetheless continued to underweight the energy sector as we believed (and continue to believe) the price of crude oil and many other commodities is well in excess of equilibrium.
On the positive side, underweighting computer hardware, and specifically IBM, was beneficial to performance on a relative basis (although not owning Apple Computer, a stellar performer, represented something of a missed opportunity). Construction and real property was another strong sector. Martin Marietta Materials – the nation’s second-largest producer and distributor of construction materials including rocks, sand, and gravel – was the Portfolio’s top performer in this industry.
Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, the U.S. economy is expanding at a moderate rate, inflation is under control and the consumer has spending capacity. Given this scenario, our strategy for the year ahead is largely a continuation of our current approach, emphasizing the bottom-up search for valuation opportunities in sectors and specific stocks. We have limited factor bets at present, since most of the opportunities available in the current market are in fact more bottom-up in nature.
From a sector standpoint, we continue to believe that energy and materials are overvalued on the whole, while the healthcare sector is providing us with the best current opportunities. Within healthcare, we are currently avoiding large-cap pharmaceutical companies with high levels of geriatric exposure. We believe the 2006 Medicare prescription drug benefit program rollout will create significant price pressure for some of these health care companies, but notable opportunities for pharmacy benefit managers.

The ING Van Kampen Comstock Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks capital growth and income. The Portfolio is managed by the Van Kampen Multi-Cap Value team. Current members of the team include B. Robert Baker, Jason Leder and Kevin Holt, each a Managing Director, Van Kampen – the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 3.47% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500”) Index and the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index, which returned 4.91% and 6.33%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the 12-month period ended December 31, 2005, the stock market advanced modestly in an environment of mixed influences. Among the market’s most significant challenges were rising interest rates and oil prices. Moreover, signs of trouble at U.S. auto manufacturers added to investor woes. Nonetheless, the market was resilient during the period. Despite expectations of the contrary, consumer spending and confidence held up reasonably well, corporate profits remained intact and balance sheets were healthy. Sizeable cash stockpiles gave corporate managements reason to repurchase shares of stock, increase dividend payouts, or complete merger activities. Some highly anticipated initial public offerings generated additional positive sentiment for stock investing, and the economy continued to maintain a decent growth rate. Within the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index (the Portfolio’s universe), the energy sector led, driven by lofty commodity prices. Utilities stocks posted a sizeable gain as well. The consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors were the S&P Barra Value Index’s most significant laggards.
For the overall Portfolio, stock selection was the primary cause of lagging performance relative to the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index. More specifically, our selection in materials, primarily paper stocks, hurt relative returns. Paper companies languished in the face of high production costs (due to rising commodity prices), overcapacity in the industry, and weak pricing power. Stock selection in the information technology sector dampened results. Telecommunication services was another area of weakness, due to industry consolidation, management issues and changing business models. Nevertheless, we continued to believe that the valuations and risk-reward profiles of select names have been attractive, and we are monitoring the situation carefully.
On the positive side, exposure to consumer discretionary stocks helped the Portfolio hold its ground relative to the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index. Although the sector struggled in the broad market, select media and retail stocks in the Portfolio performed better than the sector overall.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We focus on analyzing the financial health of individual companies rather than trying to forecast broad market movements or the direction of the economy. Although market conditions have challenged us to find abundant new investment opportunities lately, we continue to seek stocks with reasonable valuations relative to our assessment of fair value. The Portfolio’s positioning remained largely unchanged throughout the period and going into the new year. As a result of our individual stock selection, the Portfolio’s notable overweights relative to the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index were in pharmaceuticals and telecommunication services, while energy, financials (the Portfolio’s largest absolute sector weight) and industrials continued to be relative underweights.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING Van Kampen Comstock Portfolio against the Indices indicated. An index is unmanaged and has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Portfolio’s performance is shown without the imposition of any expenses or charges which are, or may be, imposed under your annuity contract. Total returns would have been lower if such expenses or charges were included.
The performance graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder will pay on portfolio distributions or the redemption of portfolio shares.
The performance shown may include the effect of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the Investment Manager 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.
The performance update illustrates performance for a variable investment option available through a variable annuity contract. The performance shown indicates past performance and is not a projection or prediction of future results. Actual investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that shares and/or units, at redemption, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please call (800) 922-0180 to get performance through the most recent month end.

The ING Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks total return, consisting of long-term capital appreciation and current income. The Portfolio is managed by the Van Kampen Equity Income team. Current members include James A. Gilligan, James O. Roeder, Sergio Marcheli, Thomas B. Bastian, and Vincent E. Vizachero, Van Kampen – the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Portfolio’s Class S Shares provided a total return of 7.77% compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P”) Index and the Russell 1000® Value Index, which returned 4.91% and 7.05%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2005, the broad stock market produced a modest gain. Throughout the period, rising interest rates and high oil prices fed investor uncertainty about the economy’s growth prospects, the ability of the consumer to continue spending, and the potential for inflation. However, despite some fears of a “soft patch” earlier in the spring and the devastating Gulf Coast hurricanes, economic news remained generally upbeat and inflation was contained. With the exception of the U.S. auto industry, healthy corporate profits and strong earnings across a range of sectors helped support the market. Other corporate actions – such as stock buybacks and merger and acquisition activity – were more prevalent than they have been in some time, spurring additional confidence in the stock market. Value stocks, which comprise the Portfolio, maintained a very slight edge over growth stocks. The best performing sectors in the Russell 1000® Value Index (the Portfolio’s universe), were energy, utilities, and health care. Laggards were consumer discretionary and telecommunication services.
From an absolute performance standpoint, energy was the Portfolio’s best performing group. The Portfolio had a particular emphasis on refining and marketing companies, which generated standout gains. These companies were able to capture significantly wider profit margins as the spread between the rising cost of crude oil and the higher price for refining into oil into gasoline continued to increase. The Portfolio was well positioned in the financials sector. The Portfolio had limited exposure to regional banks, which tend to suffer disproportionately to other types of financial companies in a rising interest-rate and flattening yield curve environment. Diversified financial service companies, in which the Portfolio had more sizeable weighting, did well because of their capital markets exposure. Insurance securities were also a notable contributor in the financials area. Health care holdings, primarily in pharmaceuticals companies, were also a positive influence on performance. Less bad news, positive expectations for new drug launches, and favorable patent protection rulings helped buoy the beleaguered industry.
In contrast, the Portfolio’s telecommunication services holdings did not fare so well. Within the industry, competition has intensified, and the landline companies have begun to lose revenues to cable and wireless carriers. Media securities, part of the consumer discretionary sector, also drove down returns, as these companies continued to slump amid weak advertising revenues.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We seek value stocks, high-quality bonds, and convertible securities, using our bottom-up security selection process. We look for undervalued companies that offer a potential catalyst for change. Such catalysts could be new company management, growth or consolidation within an industry or sector, or new products. During the year, we increased the Portfolio’s convertibles exposure while slightly decreasing its bond weighting. New issuance in the convertibles market and selected buying opportunities among what we consider attractively valued convertible securities prompted us to make the increase. We continued to reduce the Portfolio’s energy exposure; high commodity prices are unsustainable over the long term, in our view. We also selectively added to the Portfolio’s financials position, as the flattening yield curve provided attractive valuation opportunities. The Portfolio’s overall positioning was reasonably defensive at year end, with overweights in large-cap pharmaceuticals and consumer staples, and underweights in financials and industrials.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution [and/or service] (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC” or the “Investment Advisor”) created ING Partners, Inc. (the “Fund”) to serve as an investment option underlying variable insurance products offered by ILIAC and its insurance company affiliates. The Fund is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). It was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on May 7, 1997.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION (continued)
• Van Kampen Comstock seeks capital growth and income; and
• Van Kampen Equity and Income seeks total return that consists of long-term capital appreciation and current income.
The Fund offers three classes of shares, referred to as Initial Class (Class “I”), Service Class (Class “S”) and Adviser Class (Class “ADV”). The classes differ principally in applicable distribution and shareholder service fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Portfolios and earn income and realized gains/losses from the Portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without discrimination between share classes. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees. Class I shares are intended for distribution networks including non-qualified annuity and life insurance contracts and qualified retirement plans offered through an annuity contract, as well as qualified retirement plans offered through a custodial account where the sale is made on a direct basis without the involvement of a financial intermediary or where the qualified retirement plan has assets of $50 million or more. Class S and Class ADV shares of a Portfolio are intended for distribution networks including qualified retirement plans offered through an annuity contract or custodial account. Shareholders of the Class I shares of each Portfolio will generally be entitled to exchange those shares at net asset value for Class I shares of other Portfolios that offer Class I shares. Shareholders of the Class ADV shares of each Portfolio will generally be entitled to exchange those shares at net asset value for Class ADV shares of other Portfolios that offer Class ADV shares. Shareholders of the Class ADV shares continue to be subject to the Rule 12b-1 Plan fee applicable to Class ADV shares after the exchange. Shareholders of Class S shares of each Portfolio will generally be entitled to exchange those shares at net asset value for Class S shares of other Portfolios that offer Class S shares. Each Portfolio’s shares may be offered to variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts, qualified pension and retirement plans outside the separate account context, and to certain investment advisers and their affiliates.
ILIAC serves as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. ILIAC has engaged ING Investment Management Co. (“ING IM’’), a Connecticut corporation, to serve as the Sub-Adviser to the Fundamental Research. ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA” or the “Distributor”) serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios. ILIAC, ING IM and IFA are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”). ING Groep is one of the largest financial services organizations in the world, and offers an array of banking, insurance and asset management services to both individuals and institutional investors.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Such policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities reported by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing prices. Securities traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there has been no sale and securities traded in the over-the-counter-market are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at that time. Debt securities are valued at prices obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers making markets in the securities and may be adjusted based on the Portfolios’ valuation procedures. U.S. Government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics.
Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (which may include certain restricted securities, which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Portfolios’ Board of Directors (“Board”), in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. Securities traded on exchanges, including foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that a Portfolio calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Portfolio’s Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by the Portfolio closes but before the time that the
125
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Portfolio’s 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 the Portfolio determines its NAV. In such a case, the Portfolio will use the fair value of such securities as determined under the Portfolio’s valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio 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, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time the Portfolio determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in the Portfolio’s NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less at the date of valuation are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.
B. Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Portfolios do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S.
126
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
companies and U.S. Government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments, which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. Government securities.
D. Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. When entering into a currency forward contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. The Portfolios either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. 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. Certain Portfolios may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margins and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
E. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Portfolios to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired.
G. Use of Estimates. Management of the Portfolios has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
H. Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Portfolio will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by the Portfolio. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. There would be a potential loss to the Portfolio in the event the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to
127
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
I. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio has the option to temporarily loan up to 30% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender’s fee. The borrower is required to fully collateralize the loans with cash or U.S. Government securities. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to the Portfolio in the event the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Portfolio bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Portfolio.
J. Illiquid and Restricted Securities. The Portfolios may not invest more than 15% of their net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are not readily marketable. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve time consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for the Portfolios to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. The Portfolios may also invest in restricted securities, which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Certain restricted securities may be considered liquid pursuant to guidelines approved by the Board or may be deemed to be illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. Illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures approved by the Board.
K. Delayed Delivery Transactions. Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market value of such is identified in the Portfolios’ Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Portfolios are required to hold liquid assets as collateral with the Portfolios’ custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.
L. Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. Fundamental Research, Goldman Sachs® Core Equity, MFS Capital Opportunities, Oppenheimer Global, Oppenheimer Strategic Income, PIMCO Total Return, Salomon Brothers Aggressive Growth and Van Kampen Equity and Income may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In a dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker/dealer, and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon, and maturity) security from the institution on a delayed delivery basis at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. The Portfolios account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales. For fee based dollar roll transactions, the fee is recorded as income.
M. Options Contracts. Each Portfolio, with the exception of Baron Small Cap Growth, may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. MFS Capital Opportunities may only write or sell calls on securities if the calls are covered. The Portfolios may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Portfolios will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in
128
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
writing a call option is that the Portfolios give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Portfolios may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Portfolios pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.
N. Futures Contracts. Each Portfolio, with the exception of Baron Small Cap Growth, may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. Goldman Sachs® Core Equity may enter into futures transactions only with respect to the S&P 500 Index. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margins and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
O. Swap Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into interest rate swaps, currency swaps and other types of swap agreements, including swaps on securities and indices. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other on regularly scheduled dates over a stated term, based on different interest rates, currency exchange rates, security prices, the prices or rates of other types of financial instruments or assets or the levels of specified indices. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 10 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
Non-Diversified (JPMorgan Mid Cap Value and Davis Venture Value). There is additional risk associated with being non-diversified, since the Portfolios are not limited in the proportion of their assets in a single issuer. The investment of a large percentage of a Portfolio’s assets in the securities of a small number of issuers may cause that Portfolio’s share price to fluctuate more than that of a diversified portfolio.
NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with The Bank of New York (“BNY”), the Portfolios can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. Government securities. The collateral must be in an amount equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the “Agreement”). The securities purchased with cash collateral received are reflected in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Portfolios have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security, however there would be a potential loss to the Portfolios in the event the Portfolios are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. The Portfolios bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Portfolio. At December 31, 2005, the following Portfolios had securities on loan with the following market values:
Portfolio | | Value of Securities Loaned | | Value of Collateral | |

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2005:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 13 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
In 2004, ING Investments reported to the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Boards”) of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, ING Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. ING Investments has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, ING Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including ING Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING’s variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Board.
ING Investments has advised the Board that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. ING Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated.
Based on the internal review, ING Investments has advised the Board that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.
In September 2005, ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD”), the distributor of certain ING Funds, settled an administrative proceeding with the NASD regarding three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered into formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. Under the terms of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”) with the NASD, under which IFD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings, IFD consented to the following sanctions: (i) a censure; (ii) a fine of $1.5 million; (iii) restitution of approximately $1.44 million to certain ING Funds for losses attributable to excessive trading described in the AWC; and (iv) agreement to make certification to NASD regarding the review and establishment of certain procedures.
In addition to the arrangements discussed above, in 2004, ING Investments reported to the Board that, at that time, these instances include the following, in addition to the arrangements subject to the AWC discussed above:
• Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) has identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.
• ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.
• In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.
For additional information regarding these matters and the AWC, you may consult the Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 13 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 29, 2004 and September 8, 2004. These Forms 8-K and Forms 8-K/A can be accessed through the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Board are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.
ING Investments reported to the Board that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Board that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, ING Investments reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.
• ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission. ING Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.
• ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.
• The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.
• ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.
• ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance.
As has been widely reported in the media, the New York Attorney General’s office (“NYAG”) is conducting broad investigations regarding insurance quoting and brokerage practices. ING U.S. has been subpoenaed in this regard, and is cooperating fully with these NYAG requests for information.
ING U.S. believes that its practices are consistent with our business principles and our commitment to our customers.
At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) provides that, after an initial period, the Portfolios’ existing investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts remain in effect only if the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ING Partners, Inc., including a majority of the Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the advisory and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of the Portfolios, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), annually review and renew them. In this regard, at a meeting held on November 10, 2005 the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, considered whether to renew the Investment Management Agreements and Advisory Contracts (the “Advisory Contracts”) between ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Adviser” or “ILIAC”) and the Portfolios and the Portfolio Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Contracts (“Sub-Advisory Contracts”) with the sub-advisers to the Portfolios (the “Sub-Advisers”).
The Independent Directors also held separate meetings on October 11 and November 8, 2005 to consider renewals of the Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts. Thus, references herein to factors considered and determinations made by the Independent Directors include, as applicable, factors considered and determinations made on those earlier dates.
At the November 10, 2005 meeting, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolios. In reaching these decisions, the Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual review process. The Board’s determination took into account a number of factors that its members believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham LLP (“K&LNG”), their independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment, to be relevant. Further, while the Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts for all the Portfolios were considered at the same Board meeting, the Directors considered each Portfolio’s advisory and sub-advisory relationships separately.
Provided below is an overview of the Board’s contract approval process in general, as well as a discussion of certain of the specific factors the Board considered at the November 10, 2005 meeting. While the Board gave its attention to the information furnished, at its request, that was most relevant to its consideration, discussed below are a number of the primary factors relevant to the Board’s consideration as to whether to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the year ending November 30, 2006. Each Director may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Portfolios’ advisory and sub-advisory arrangements.
Overview of the Contract Approval Process
In 2003, the Board that currently oversees the Portfolios determined to undertake steps to further enhance the process under which the Board determines whether to renew existing Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts and to approve new advisory arrangements. Among the measures the Board implemented was to retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Independent Directors of the Board in working with the personnel employed by the Portfolios’ Adviser or its affiliates who administer the Portfolios (“Management”) to identify the types of information presented to the Directors to inform their deliberations with respect to advisory and sub-advisory relationships; establish the format in which the information requested by the Board is provided to the Board; and determine the process for reviewing such information in connection with the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contract renewal process. The end result was the implementation of the current process relied upon by the Board to review and analyze information in connection with the annual renewal of the Portfolios’ Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts, as well as its review and approval of new advisory relationships.
Since this process was implemented, the Board has continuously reviewed and refined the process. In addition, the Board established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees. The type and format of the information provided to the Board or its counsel to inform its annual review and renewal process has been codified in the Portfolios’ 15(c) Methodology Guide (the “Methodology Guide”). The Methodology Guide was developed under the direction of the Board, and sets out a written blueprint under which the Board requests certain information necessary to facilitate a thorough and informed review in connection with the annual Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contract renewal process. Management provides Portfolio-specific information to the Board based on the Methodology Guide through “Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables” or “FACT” sheets prior
231
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
to the Board’s review of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts. Certain of this information for a representative sample of Funds in the ING Funds complex was verified, at the Board’s request, by an independent firm to test its accuracy.
On its own and as part of a regular on-going process, the Board’s Contracts Committee recommends or considers recommendations from Management for refinements and other changes to the Methodology Guide and other aspects of the review process, and the Board’s Investment Review Committees review benchmarks used to assess the performance of each Portfolio. The Investment Review Committees also meet regularly with the Adviser and periodically with the Portfolios’ Sub-Advisers. The Investment Review Committees may apply a heightened level of scrutiny in cases where performance has lagged a benchmark and/or peer group.
The Board employed its process for reviewing contracts when considering the renewals of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts that would be effective through November 30, 2006. A number of the Board’s primary considerations and conclusions resulting from this process are discussed below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service
In determining whether to approve the Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolios for the year ending November 30, 2006, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolios by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. This included information about the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to the Portfolios provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished for the November 10, 2005 Board meeting, which was held to specifically consider renewal for the period ending November 30, 2006. In addition, the Board’s Independent Directors also held meetings on October 11th and November 8th, prior to the November 10, 2005 meeting of the full Board, to consider the annual renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts.
The materials requested by and provided to the Board prior to the November 2005 Board meeting included the following items: (1) FACT sheets for each Portfolio that provide information about the performance and expenses of the Portfolio and other, similarly managed funds in a selected peer group (“Selected Peer Group”), as well as information about the Portfolio’s investment portfolio, objectives and strategies; (2) the Methodology Guide, which describes how the FACT sheets were prepared, including the manner in which benchmarks and Selected Peer Groups were selected and how profitability was determined; (3) responses to a detailed series of questions from K&LNG, legal counsel to the Independent Directors; (4) copies of each form of Advisory Contract and Sub-Advisory Contract; (5) copies of the Form ADV for the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios; (6) financial statements for the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser; (7) drafts of narrative summaries addressing key factors the Board customarily considers in evaluating the renewals of Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts, including a written analysis for each Portfolio of how performance and fees compare to its Selected Peer Group and/or designated benchmarks; and (8) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluations.
For each Portfolio except ING Stock Index Portfolio, the Portfolio’s Class I shares were used for purposes of certain comparisons to the funds in the Selected Peer Group. Class I shares were selected, as general matter, so that the Portfolio class with the longest performance history was compared to the analogous class of shares for each fund in the Selected Peer Group. The mutual funds chosen for inclusion in a Portfolio’s Selected Peer group were selected based upon criteria designed to mirror the Portfolio class being compared to the Selected Peer Group.
In arriving at its conclusions with respect to the advisory arrangements with the Adviser, the Board was mindful of the “manager-of-managers” platform of the ING Funds. The Board considered the techniques that the Adviser developed, in response to the direction of the Board, to screen and perform due diligence on Sub-Advisers that are recommended to the Board to manage the Portfolios. The Board also noted the resources that the Adviser has committed to the Board and its Investment Review Committees to assist the Board and Committee members with their assessment of the investment performance of the Portfolios. This includes the appointment of a Chief Investment Risk Officer and his staff, who report directly to the Board, and who have developed attribution analyses and other metrics used by the Investment Review Committees to analyze the key factors underlying investment performance for the Portfolios.
The Board also noted the techniques used by the Adviser to monitor the performance of the Sub-Advisers, and took note of the pro-active approach that the Adviser, working in cooperation with the Board’s Investment
232
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Review Committees, has taken to advocate or recommend, when it believed appropriate, changes intended to assist performance of the Portfolios. These changes have historically included modifications in personnel responsible for managing a Portfolio and/or changes in the Sub-Adviser to a Portfolio.
In considering the Portfolios’ Advisory Contracts, the Board also considered the extent of benefits provided to the Portfolios’ shareholders, beyond advisory services, from being part of the ING family of Funds. This includes, in most cases, the right to exchange or transfer investments between the same class of shares of such Funds, without a sales charge, or among Funds available in a product platform, and the wide variety in the types of Funds available for exchange or transfer.
The Board also took into account the Adviser’s extensive efforts in recent years to reduce the expenses of the Portfolios through re-negotiated arrangements with the Portfolios’ service providers. In addition, the Board considered the extensive efforts of the Adviser and expense it incurred in recent years to help make the Fund complex more efficient by reducing the number of Portfolios through reorganizations of similar Portfolios.
Further, the Board received periodic reports showing that the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio were consistently complied with and other periodic reports covering matters such as compliance by Adviser and Sub-Adviser personnel with codes of ethics. The Board evaluated the Adviser’s and Sub-Advisers’ regulatory compliance systems and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws, including those related to late trading and market timing, best execution, fair value pricing, proxy voting procedures, and trade allocation, among others. The Board considered the implementation by the Adviser and certain Sub-Advisers of enhanced compliance policies and procedures in response to SEC rule changes and other regulatory initiatives. The Board also took into account the reports of the Chief Compliance Officer and his recommendations. In this regard, the Board also considered the policies and procedures developed by the Chief Compliance Officer in consultation with the Board’s Compliance Committee that guide the Chief Compliance Officer’s compliance oversight function.
The Board reviewed the level of staffing, quality and experience of each Portfolio’s portfolio management team. The Board took into account the respective resources and reputations of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, and evaluated the ability of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers to attract and retain qualified investment advisory personnel. For larger Portfolios, the Board also considered the adequacy of the resources committed to the Portfolios by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, and whether those resources are commensurate with the needs of larger Portfolios and are appropriate to attempt to sustain expected levels of performance, compliance, and other needs.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the advisory and related services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers are appropriate in light of the Portfolios’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs, and that the nature and quality of the overall services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers were appropriate.
Portfolio Performance
In assessing advisory and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of each Portfolio, taking into account the importance of such performance to the Portfolio’s shareholders. While the Board considered the performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board and Committee meetings during the year, particular attention in assessing performance was given to the Portfolio FACT sheets furnished in advance of the November meeting of the Independent Directors. The FACT sheet prepared for each Portfolio included its investment performance compared to the Morningstar category median, Lipper category median, Selected Peer Group and Portfolio’s primary benchmark. The Board’s findings specific to each Portfolio’s performance are discussed under “Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis,” below.
Economies of Scale
In considering the reasonableness of advisory fees, the Board also considered whether economies of scale will be realized by the Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fee rates charged. In this regard, the Board noted any breakpoints in advisory fee schedules that resulted in a lower advisory fee because a Portfolio achieved sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. In the case of sub-advisory fees, the Board considered that breakpoints would inure to the benefit of the Adviser, except to the extent that these savings are passed through in the form of breakpoints on advisory
233
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
fees that resulted in savings to the Portfolios. For Portfolios that did not have breakpoint discounts on advisory fees, but did benefit from waivers to or reimbursements of advisory or other fees, the Board also considered the extent to which economies of scale could effectively be realized through such waivers, reimbursements, or expense reductions.
Information about Services to Other Clients
The Board requested, and in many instances received and, if so, considered, information about the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers to other clients, including other registered investment companies and institutional accounts. When rates offered to other clients differed materially from those charged to the Portfolios, the Board considered the underlying rationale provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers for these differences. For the unaffiliated Sub-Advisers, the Board did not view this information as imperative to its deliberations because of the arms-length nature of the negotiations between the Adviser and unaffiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to sub-advisory fees.
Fee Rates and Profitability
The Board reviewed and considered each contractual investment advisory fee rate, combined with the administrative fee rate, payable by each Portfolio to the Adviser. The Board also considered the contractual sub-advisory fee rates payable by the Adviser to each Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In addition, the Board reviewed and took into account existing and proposed fee waivers and expense limitations applicable to the fees payable by the Portfolios.
The Board considered the fee structures of the Portfolios as they relate to the services provided under the Contracts, and the potential fall-out benefits to the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, and their respective affiliates, from their association with the Portfolios. For each Portfolio, the Board determined that the fees payable to the Adviser and Sub-Advisers are reasonable for the services that each performs, which were considered in light of the nature and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform through the year ending November 30, 2006.
For each Portfolio, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits realized by the Adviser, which was prepared by Management in accordance with the allocation methodology (including assumptions) specified in the Methodology Guide. In analyzing the profitability of the Adviser in connection with its services to a Portfolio, the Board took into account the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser to that Portfolio. The Board also considered information that it requested and was provided by Management with respect to the profitability of service providers affiliated with the Adviser, as well as information provided by certain Sub-Advisers with respect to their profitability. In the case of non-affiliated Sub-Advisers, the Board gave less weight to profitability considerations, or did not view this data as imperative to its deliberations, given the arms-length nature of the relationship between the Adviser and these Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory fees.
The Board determined that it had requested and received sufficient information to gain a reasonable understanding regarding the Adviser’s and affiliated Sub-Advisers’ profitability. The Board also recognized that profitability analysis is not an exact science and there is no uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose. In this context, the Board realized that Management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Portfolios’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Portfolio in determining profitability, and that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by Management nor capture Management’s entrepreneurial risk associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in today’s regulatory environment.
In their examination of advisory fees, the Independent Directors have, from time to time, requested the Adviser, and the Adviser has agreed, to implement remedial actions for certain Portfolios. These remedial actions have included, among others: reductions in expense caps or management fee rates; the addition of further breakpoints to fee schedules; reductions in 12b-1 fees payable by a Portfolio; the merger of certain Portfolios with and into comparable Portfolios; changes to the Sub-Adviser or portfolio manager managing a Portfolio; and enhancements to the resources available to a Sub-Adviser when managing a Portfolio. The Independent Directors requested these adjustments largely on the basis of: (a) a Portfolio’s performance, as compared to its Selected Peer Group;
234
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
(b) the performance of a Portfolio, as compared to its benchmarks; or (c) a Portfolio’s expenses in relation to its Selected Peer Group.
Based on the information on revenues, costs, and profitability considered by the Board, after considering the factors described in this section, as well as any remedial actions requested by the Independent Directors and agreed to by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the profits, if any, realized by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers were not excessive. In making its determinations, the Board considered that the Adviser had incentive to negotiate the most favorable fees from unaffiliated Sub-Advisers, and it based its conclusions on the reasonableness of the sub-advisory fees of the Sub-Advisers primarily on the factors described for each Portfolio below and, in the case of non-affiliated Sub-Advisers, in reliance on the arms-length nature of the negotiations between the Adviser and Sub-Advisers with respect to sub-advisory fees.
Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis
The following paragraphs outline certain of the specific factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions reached, at its November 2005 meeting in relation to renewing each Portfolio’s current Advisory Contract and its Sub-Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2006. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. In each case, the Portfolio’s performance was compared to its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index that appears in the Portfolio’s prospectus. Each Portfolio’s management fee and expense ratio were compared to the fees and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
ING American Century Large Company Value Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING American Century Large Company Value Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2005: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median and its benchmark for all periods presented and one- and three-year periods; and (2) the Portfolio is ranked in the fifth (lowest) quintile for the year-to-date and one-year periods and in the third quintile for the three-year period.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account that in April 2005 American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“American Century”) assumed responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio. In addition, in connection with the sub-adviser change, the Portfolio’s investment strategy was changed.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING American Century Large Company Value Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with level fees that does not include breakpoints; (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is above the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the sub-advisory fee rate payable to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) in April 2005, American Century assumed responsibility for management of the Portfolio, and it is reasonable to allow the new portfolio management team to continue to manage the Portfolio to assess Portfolio performance. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2006. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING American Century Select Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING American Century Select Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2005: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark for all periods
235
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
presented; and (2) the Portfolio is ranked in the fifth (lowest) quintile for the one- and three-year periods, and in the fourth quintile for the most recent calendar quarter and year-to-date periods.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account that, to address concerns about long-term performance, in November 2004, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“American Century”) assumed responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING American Century Select Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with level fees that does not include breakpoints; (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) American Century assumed day-to-day management of the Portfolio in November 2004, and it is reasonable to permit the Sub-Adviser to continue to manage the Portfolio to assess longer-term performance; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2006. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING American Century Small Cap Value Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING American Century Small Cap Value Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2005: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for the most recent calendar quarter and year-to-date, and underperformed for the one- and three-year periods; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for the year-to-date and one-year periods and underperformed for the three-year period; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the fourth quintile for the three-year period, in the third quintile for the one-year period, and in the second quintile year-to-date.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING American Century Small Cap Value Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with level fees that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of ING American Century Small Cap Value Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is above the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account that Management determined to: (1) convert the Administrator’s current agreement to waive 0.10% of the Portfolio’s administrative fees, which was to expire on May 1, 2008, to a permanent fee waiver, and (2) increase the waiver by an additional 0.05%.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) Management agreed to lower the expense ratio of the Portfolio through additional, permanent fee waivers, and the post-waiver expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Portfolio’s more recent performance has improved, and it is reasonable to permit the Sub-Adviser to continue to manage the Portfolio to appropriately assess longer-term performance; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2006. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

ING Baron Small Cap Growth Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Baron Small Cap Growth Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2005: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for the year-to-date, one- and three-year periods, but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for the year-to-date, one- and three-year periods, but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the first (highest) quintile for the one- and three-year periods.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Baron Small Cap Growth Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with level fees that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of ING Baron Small Cap Growth Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and above the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account Management’s representations that it would: (1) convert the Administrator’s current agreement to waive the Portfolio’s administrative fees in an amount equal to 0.05%, which was to expire on May 1, 2006, to a permanent fee waiver, and (2) increase the waiver to achieve an additional reduction equal to 0.12%.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) Management agreed to lower the expense ratio of the Portfolio through additional, permanent fee waivers, and that post-waiver expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Portfolio’s performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2006. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Davis Venture Value Portfolio (formerly, ING Salomon Brothers Fundamental Value Portfolio)
Approval of New Sub-Advisory Contract
At its July 21, 2005 meeting, the Board approved a new Sub-Advisory Contract with Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. (“Davis”) under which Davis would serve as Sub-Adviser to ING Davis Venture Value Portfolio (formerly, ING Salomon Brothers Fundamental Value Portfolio). The new Sub-Advisory Contract with Templeton became effective on December 1, 2005.
The information provided to the Board to inform its consideration of whether to approve the Sub-Advisory Contract with Davis included the following: (1) a memorandum discussing management’s rationale for the change in Sub-Adviser to the Portfolio, the reasons management is recommending Davis and the performance of Davis in managing Davis NY Venture Fund (the “Davis Fund”), a proprietary fund managed in a manner similar to that in which Davis would manage the Portfolio, with such performance being compared against an appropriate benchmark, Morningstar Category Average, and Selected Peer Group; (2) FACT sheets for the Portfolio that provide information about the performance of the Davis Fund and the performance of the Portfolio’s Selected Peer Group; (3) Davis’ responses to inquiries from counsel to the Independent Directors; (4) supporting documentation, including copies of the form of Sub-Advisory Contract with Davis for ING Davis Venture Value Portfolio (formerly, ING Salomon Brothers Fundamental Value Portfolio); (5) an analysis regarding the effect that the proposed Sub-Adviser change would have on ILIAC’s profitability and (6) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation.
In reaching a decision to engage Davis as the Portfolio’s Sub-Adviser, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, considered the performance of the Davis Fund for the year-to-date, and one-year, three-year and five-year periods. In addition, the Board evaluated and discussed other factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the process employed by Davis in managing a large-capitalization (“large-cap”) fund and the
237
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
consistency of Davis’ process over time; (2) ILIAC’s view of the reputation of Davis as a manager to similar funds; (3) Davis’ experience and skill in managing large-cap funds; (4) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by Davis under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract; (5) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of Davis, including its management team’s expertise in the management of the Davis Fund, and its fit among the stable of managers in the ING Funds line-up; (6) the fairness of the compensation under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided; (7) the costs for the services to be provided by Davis, including that Davis would charge a fee with breakpoints that is the same as that charged by Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (“SaBAM”), the Portfolio’s former sub-adviser, but that because the Portfolio’s assets will no longer be aggregated with those of other Funds sub-advised by SaBAM, the sub-advisory fees payable by ILIAC would increase, with no effect on the management fee payable by the Portfolio; (8) Davis’ operations and compliance program, and its policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws, which had been reviewed and evaluated by the Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds; (9) Davis’ financial condition; (10) the appropriateness of the selection of Davis and the employment of the new investment strategy in light of the Portfolio’s investment objective and its current and prospective investor base; and (11) Davis’ Code of Ethics and related procedures for complying with the Code. The Board also considered the management fee to be retained by ILIAC for its oversight and monitoring services that will be provided to the Portfolio.
During the course of its deliberations as to whether to approve Davis as the sub-adviser to ING Davis Venture Value Portfolio (formerly, ING Salomon Brothers Fundamental Value Portfolio) based on the factors and considerations discussed above (provided that individual Board members may have given different weight to different factors), the Board reached the following conclusions regarding Davis and the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract, among others: (1) Davis is qualified to manage Salomon Brothers Fundamental Value Portfolio’s assets in accordance with its investment objective and investment strategy; (2) the new investment strategy is appropriate for pursuing long-term growth of capital and is consistent with the interests of current and prospective investors in the Portfolio; (3) based on the Board’s knowledge of Davis, Davis has sufficient financial resources available to it to fulfill its commitments to the Portfolio under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract; (4) based upon the complexity and quality of the investment management services to be provided the Portfolio, and in view of industry averages for similar funds, the compensation to be paid by ILIAC under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract is reasonable in relation to the services to be provided by Davis; (5) Davis maintains an appropriate compliance program and compliance procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws, with this conclusion based upon representations from the Portfolio’s Chief Compliance Officer; and (8) while no economies of scale benefits would benefit Portfolio shareholders from the breakpoints in Davis’ sub-advisory fee, those fees would be higher than the break-pointed fee schedule in place for SaBAM, the Portfolio’s former sub-adviser, and this increase would be borne solely by ILIAC. The Board also considered the amount that would be retained by ILIAC under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract and concluded that this amount is reasonable in light of the services provided by ILIAC.
Renewal of Advisory Contract
The Board considered whether to approve renewing the Advisory Contract with the Adviser for ING Davis Venture Value Portfolio (formerly, ING Salomon Brothers Fundamental Value Portfolio), at its November meeting. In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Contract for the Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2005: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark for the three-year period; (2) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median and primary benchmark for the one-year period; and (3) the Portfolio was ranked in the fifth (lowest) quintile for the one-year period and the first (highest) quintile for the three-year period.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account that, in order to enhance performance, in October 2005 Davis assumed responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio, replacing SaBAM.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Davis Venture Value Portfolio (formerly, ING Salomon Brothers Fundamental Value Portfolio), the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with level fees that does not include breakpoints; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee

Approval of New Sub-Advisory Contract
SaBAM has managed ING Salomon Brothers Aggressive Growth Portfolio since December 16, 2002 (the “Former Agreement”). As discussed above, the Former Agreement was last approved for renewal by the Board on November 10, 2005. On December 1, 2005, Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup) the parent of SaBAM completed the sale of substantially all of its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management, to Legg Mason Inc. (“Legg Mason”). As a result, SaBAM, previously an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. The 1940 Act requires that an agreement under which a registered investment adviser serves as the sub-adviser to an investment company must provide for the automatic termination of the agreement in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). A sale of a controlling block of an investment adviser’s voting securities generally is deemed to result in an assignment of the investment adviser’s
244
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
advisory agreements. The consummation of the transaction constituted a sale of a controlling block of voting securities of SaBAM, resulting in the assignment and automatic termination of the Portfolio’s Sub-Advisory Contract with SaBAM, effective November 30, 2005.
In order for management of the Portfolio to continue uninterrupted after the sale, ILIAC entered into a new Sub-Advisory Contract with SaBAM dated December 1, 2005 under which SaBAM has continued to provide day-to-day management services to the Portfolio (the “New Agreement”). The Transaction did not result in a change to the personnel managing the Portfolio or its investment strategy. The Portfolio has continued to be managed by Richard Freeman.
Under a licensing agreement between Citigroup and Legg Mason, the name “Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc,” as well as all logos, trademarks, and service marks related to Citigroup or any of its affiliates (“Citi Marks”) are licensed for use by Legg Mason. All Citi Marks are owned by Citigroup and are used under license. Legg Mason and its affiliates, as well as SaBAM, are not affiliated with Citigroup.
At a meeting of the Board held on September 15, 2005, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, determined to appoint SaBAM as sub-adviser to the Portfolio under the New Agreement. In determining whether to approve the New Agreement for the Portfolio, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether the Agreement should be approved for the Portfolio. The materials provided to the Board in support of the sub-advisory arrangement with SaBAM included the following: (1) a memorandum discussing the change of control of SaBAM and the resulting assignment and automatic termination of the Former Agreement; (2) responses from SaBAM to questions posed by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham LLP, independent legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Directors; (3) supporting documentation, including a copy of the form of New Agreement with SaBAM on behalf of the Portfolio; and (4) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation. In addition, the Board considered the information provided periodically throughout the year in presentations to the Board by management and by SaBAM in connection with its management of Funds in the ING Funds complex, including the Portfolio and ING Salomon Brothers Large Cap Growth Portfolio, each a series of IPI; and ING Salomon Brothers Investors Portfolio and ING Salomon Brothers All Cap Portfolio, each a series of ING Investors Trust, a registered investment company managed by an affiliate of ILIAC. Such information included, among other things: (1) detailed analysis of the Portfolio’s performance, including attribution analysis, provided at regular Board meetings; and (2) a presentation to IPI’s Domestic Equity Investment Review Committee, at the Committee’s July 20, 2005 meeting, from SaBAM representatives regarding the change of control of SaBAM.
The Board’s consideration of whether to approve the New Agreement took into account several factors including, but not limited to, the following: (1) ILIAC’s view with respect to SaBAM’s management of the Portfolio; (2) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by SaBAM under the New Agreement; (3) the personnel, operations, and investment management capabilities of SaBAM after the consummation of the Transaction, including SaBAM’s representations that the portfolio management personnel providing day-to-day management services to the Portfolio would remain in place through the closing of the Transaction and continue to manage assets after the close; (4) the fairness of the compensation under the New Agreement in light of the services to be provided by SaBAM and the fact that there would be no change in the advisory or sub-advisory fees payable with respect to the Portfolio, or the projected profitability of the SaBAM or ILIAC, in connection with the Transaction; (5) that breakpoints in the sub-advisory fees payable by ILIAC would remain unchanged, and any economies-of-scale benefits from such breakpoints would continue to inure to the benefit of ILIAC and would not affect the advisory fee payable by the Portfolio to ILIAC; (6) SaBAM’s representations that the Transaction would not adversely affect the nature and quality of services provided to the Portfolio and that the Transaction was not expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of SaBAM to provide those services; (7) SaBAM’s operations and compliance program, including its policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws, which had previously been approved by the Board as part of its oversight of the Portfolio and other Funds in the ING Funds complex; and (8) SaBAM’s Code of Ethics, which has previously been approved for the Portfolio and other ING Funds, and related procedures for complying with that Code.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) SaBAM should be appointed as the Portfolio’s sub-adviser under the New Agreement and continue to provide advisory services to the Portfolio; and (2) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by ILIAC to SaBAM is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by
245

the Board. The Board also noted that there would be further opportunity for review of the Portfolio’s more recent performance and other relevant factors in the course of deliberations for the next annual renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement in November 2005.
Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the New Agreement. During this approval process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the sub-advisory fee rate payable to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) in November 2004, SaBAM assumed responsibility for management of the Portfolio, and it is reasonable to allow the new Sub-Adviser to continue to manage the Portfolio to assess Portfolio performance. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2006. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
Approval of New Sub-Advisory Contract
SaBAM has managed ING Salomon Brothers Large Cap Growth Portfolio since November 2004 under a Sub-Advisory Contract with ILIAC (the “Former Agreement”). The Former Agreement was last approved for renewal by the Board on November 10, 2005.
As discussed above for ING Salomon Brothers Aggressive Growth Portfolio, on December 1, 2005, Citigroup, the parent of SaBAM, completed the sale of substantially all of its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management, to Legg Mason. As a result, SaBAM, previously an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. The 1940 Act requires that an agreement under which a registered investment adviser serves as the sub-adviser to an investment company must provide for the automatic termination of the agreement in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). A sale of a controlling block of an investment adviser’s voting securities generally is deemed to result in an assignment of the investment adviser’s advisory agreements. The consummation of the transaction constituted a sale of a controlling block of voting securities of SaBAM, resulting in the assignment and automatic termination of the Former Agreement with SaBAM, effective November 30, 2005.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
In order for management of the Portfolio to continue uninterrupted after the sale, ILIAC entered into an interim Sub-Advisory Contract with SaBAM dated December 1, 2005 (the “Interim Agreement”) under which SaBAM has continued to provide day-to-day management services to the Portfolio. A proxy has been sent to shareholders to request that they approve a new Sub-Advisory Contract with SaBAM for ING Salomon Brothers Large Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract”). The meeting of shareholders at with the New Sub-Advisory Contract will be considered is scheduled for March 2, 2006.
(It should be noted that, under a licensing agreement between Citigroup and Legg Mason, the name “Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc,” as well as all logos, trademarks, and service marks related to Citigroup or any of its affiliates (as defined above, “Citi Marks”) are licensed for use by Legg Mason. All Citi Marks are owned by Citigroup and are used under license. Legg Mason and its affiliates, as well as SaBAM, are not affiliated with Citigroup.)
At a meeting of the Board held on September 15, 2005, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, determined to appoint SaBAM as sub-adviser to the Portfolio under the Interim Agreement and the Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract. In determining whether to approve the Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract for the Portfolio, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary for an informed determination of whether the Agreement should be approved for the Portfolio. The materials provided to the Board in support of the sub-advisory arrangement with SaBAM included the following: (1) a memorandum discussing the change of control of SaBAM and the resulting assignment and automatic termination of the Former Agreement; (2) responses from SaBAM to questions posed by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham LLP, independent legal counsel, on behalf of the Independent Directors; (3) supporting documentation, including a copy of the form of Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract with SaBAM on behalf of the Portfolio; and (4) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluation. In addition, the Board considered the information provided periodically throughout the year in presentations to the Board by SaBAM in connection with its management of Funds in the ING Funds complex, including the Portfolio and ING Salomon Brothers Aggressive Growth Portfolio, each a series of IPI; and ING Salomon Brothers Investors Portfolio and ING Salomon Brothers All Cap Portfolio, each a series of ING Investors Trust, a registered investment company managed by an affiliate of ILIAC. Such information included, among other things: (1) detailed analysis of Portfolio performance, including attribution analysis, provided at regular Board meetings; and (2) a presentation to IPI’s Domestic Equity Investment Review Committee, at the Committee’s July 20, 2005 meeting, from SaBAM representatives regarding the change of control of SaBAM.
The Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract took into account several factors including, but not limited to, the following: (1) ILIAC’s view with respect to SaBAM’s management of the Portfolio; (2) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by SaBAM under the Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract; (3) the personnel, operations, and investment management capabilities of SaBAM after the consummation of the Transaction, including SaBAM’s representations that the portfolio management personnel providing day-to-day management services to the Portfolio would remain in place through the closing of the Transaction and continue to manage assets after the close; (4) the fairness of the compensation under the Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided by SaBAM and the fact that there would be no change in the advisory or sub-advisory fees payable with respect to the Portfolio, or the projected profitability of the SaBAM or ILIAC, in connection with the Transaction; (5) that breakpoints in the sub-advisory fees payable by ILIAC would remain unchanged, and any economies-of-scale benefits from such breakpoints would continue to inure to the benefit of ILIAC and would not affect the advisory fee payable by the Portfolio to ILIAC; (6) SaBAM’s representations that the Transaction would not adversely affect the nature and quality of services provided to the Portfolio and that the Transaction was not expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of SaBAM to provide those services; (7) SaBAM’s operations and compliance program, including its policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws, which had previously been approved by the Board as part of its oversight of the Portfolio and other Funds in the ING Funds complex; and (8) SaBAM’s Code of Ethics, which has previously been approved for the Portfolio and other ING Funds, and related procedures for complying with that Code.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) SaBAM should be appointed as the Portfolio’s sub-adviser under the Interim Agreement and the Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract and continue to provide advisory services to the Portfolio; (2) the Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract should be submitted to
247
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
shareholders for approval; and (3) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by ILIAC to SaBAM is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. The Board also noted that there would be further opportunity for review of the Portfolio’s more recent performance and other relevant factors in the course of deliberations for the next annual renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement in November 2005.
Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the Interim Agreement and the Proposed Sub-Advisory Contract. During this approval process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING T. Rowe Price Diversified Mid Cap Portfolio

Rowe Price Diversified Mid Cap Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.

In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING T. Rowe Price Growth Equity Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with level fees that does not include breakpoints; (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.

In analyzing this performance data, the Board also considered that, in May 2004, UBS Global Asset Management Inc. assumed responsibility for the Portfolio to enhance the Portfolio’s performance, and performance has improved since this Sub-Adviser change.

| Dear Shareholder, |
|
As you may recall, in my last letter I described the enthusiasm that we were experiencing here at ING Funds as we worked to bring more of the world’s investment opportunities to you, the investor. |
|
That enthusiasm, I am happy to report, is continuing to thrive. With the New Year, we have launched a series of new international mutual funds, each created to bring more of the world’s opportunities to you. |
|
Meanwhile, we have also heard you loud and clear. Our research tells us that many investors report that they find investing an intimidating and overly-complex endeavor. That is why ING is committed to helping investors across the country cut through the confusion and clutter. “Your future. Made easier.SM” is more than words; they represent our promise to you. |
JAMES M. HENNESSY | |
| |
Those two objectives — bringing you more of the world’s opportunities and doing it in a way that is easier for you — are behind the development of the new portfolios. |
| |
According to a recent finding, 58 percent of the world market capitalization now lies outside of the U.S.1 In other words, the majority of investment opportunities are now beyond our borders and we think that the ING VP Index Plus International Portfolio — a broad-based international portfolio — is an easy, single-step method to gain exposure to many of those opportunities. |
|
Meanwhile, the ING VP Global Real Estate Portfolio was developed as an easy way to bring global — international and domestic — real estate opportunities to the variable portfolio investor. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are becoming more and more popular around the world, and this new portfolio seeks to capitalize on that popularity. But again, we’ve made it easy. With just one investment, investors bring the diversification of global real estate to their investment strategy. |
|
One of our goals at ING Funds is to find tomorrow’s opportunities today, and we believe these two portfolios are just the latest examples of that plan in action. |
|
On behalf of everyone at ING Funds, I thank you for your continued support and loyalty. We look forward to serving you in the future. |
Sincerely,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001104659-06-015820/g263720bg01i004.gif)

The views expressed in the President’s Letter reflect those of the President as of the date of the letter. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and ING Funds disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and because investment decisions for an ING Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of investment intent on behalf of any ING Fund.

International investing does pose special risks including currency fluctuation, economic and political risks not found in investments that are solely domestic. Investments in issuers that are principally engaged in real estate, including REITs, may subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including terrorist attacks, war or other acts that destroy real property (in addition to market risks). These companies are sensitive to factors such as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. REITs may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements.
1 MSCI December, 2005
1
MARKET PERSPECTIVE: | YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 |
In our semi-annual report, we referred to mixed markets in which the U.S. investor lost on both domestic and international stocks, with gains in the latter trumped by the rebounding U.S. dollar. In the second half, global equities registered solid gains, although foreign markets ended the 2005 year more convincingly. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World® Index(1) calculated in dollars, including net reinvested dividends rose 10.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, and 9.5% for the full year. As for currencies, the dollar extended its first half run for the six months ended December 31, 2005, rising 2.1% against the euro (12.6% for the full year), 6.2% against the yen (14.7% for the full year), and 3.8% against the pound (10.2% for the full year). Commentators explained the U.S. dollar’s unexpected strength by pointing to relatively high U.S. interest rates, the re-cycling of oil exporters’ burgeoning wealth into dollar securities, the tax-related “repatriation” into dollars of U.S. corporations’ foreign currency balances, and, regarding the yen’s particular weakness, non-Japanese investors pouring money into the stock market but hedging their currency risk. Each dynamic was losing steam by 2005 year-end.
For more than a year, the main issue for US fixed income investors had been the unexpected flattening of the yield curve, i.e. the shrinking difference between short-term and long-term interest rates. From June 2004 through June 2005 the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) had raised the Federal Funds Rate by 25 basis points nine times, pulling other short-term rates up. However, the yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note had actually fallen by 0.71% over the same thirteen months. This was put down to an apparently growing perception in the market that inflation was a problem solved, due to a vigilant Federal Reserve, cheap goods and labor abroad, consistent productivity growth at home and foreign investors’ hunger for U.S. investments. Occasionally in the second half, for example when Hurricane Katrina and Rita affected oil prices, having peaked near $70 per barrel at the end of August 2005, there looked to be filtering through to general prices, and the trend seemed about to break. Nevertheless, in the end the forces of curve flattening prevailed. By December 31, 2005, the FOMC had raised rates four more times, oil prices and the inflation scare had subsided and foreigners were still buying record amounts of U.S. securities. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the yield on the ten-year Treasury rose by 45 basis points to 4.39% (17 basis points for the full year), and on 13-week U.S. Treasury Bills by 93 basis points (180 basis points for the full year) to 3.98%. The returns on the broad Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(2) and the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index(3) was -0.1% and 1.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, and 2.4% and 2.7% for the full year, respectively.
The U.S. equities market in the form of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500”) Index(4), added 5.8% including dividends in the latter half of 2005 and 4.9% for the full year, thanks to gains of 3.5% in July and November of 2005. Other months were flat to down and by 2005 year-end, the market, trading at a fairly undemanding price-to-earnings level of about 16 times earnings for the current fiscal year, was definitely struggling. Stock investors were initially encouraged by bullish economic reports and even more by second quarter company earnings figures, which were on average up more than 10% year over year. The optimistic mood lasted into early August of 2005, when the S&P 500 reached a four-year high, before drifting back as resurgent oil prices made records almost daily. In September and October of 2005 with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita seldom out of the news, two attempted rallies fizzled. High prices at the gas pump were already here. An expensive winter for heating fuel was certain. Sharply rising factory prices started to be found in local Federal Reserve and purchasing managers’ reports and, with consumer confidence slumping, the word “stagflation” was heard more than once. In spite of this, as November approached, an evidently swift recovery from the Hurricanes Katrina and Rita cheered investors and stock prices powered ahead through mid-December 2005, as oil prices fell back below $60 per barrel, inflation moderated, corporate profits remained buoyant and gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth, at 4.1% per annum, was the envy of the developed world. Yet the market gave back nearly 1.6% between Christmas and New Year, when new reports suggested that the end of the bubbling housing market might be at hand. Rising house prices had encouraged the consumer spending that was largely behind robust GDP growth; spending that is, by people who on average were saving little, if anything.
In international markets Japan was the shining star of the second half, soaring 33.3%, based on the MSCI Japan® Index(5) in dollars plus net dividends for the six months ended December 31, 2005, and 25.5% for the
2

full year, as the market repeatedly broke five-year records amid new optimism. Investors, albeit mainly foreign ones, came to the belief that Japan is re-emerging as a balanced economy and less dependent on exports. Japanese corporations and banks have repaired their balance sheets at last. Rising wages are supporting domestic demand, in addition to an expected end to deflation, seems at hand. European ex UK markets leaped 11.8%, according to the MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(6) in dollars including net dividends for the six months ended December 31, 2005 (10.5% for the full year) and 14.7% in local currencies (27.7% for the full year) to the best levels in over four years, despite the first interest rate increase, to 2.5%, in over five years. Mounting evidence of a recovery in local demand, resilient profits and an upsurge of merger and acquisition activity boosted markets that are not particularly expensive. UK equities advanced 6.4% in the six months ended December 31, 2005 (7.4% for the full year) based on the MSCI UK® Index(7) in dollars including net dividends, concealing a more impressive 11.1% increase in pounds (20.1% for the full year), to the highest in four years. The period was dominated by the effect of five interest rate increases to restrain over-stretched consumers and soaring real estate prices. Yet, in the face of mostly miserable economic reports, and despite terrorist attacks in London over two days in July of 2005, investors, encouraged by merger and acquisition activity, supported an inexpensive market yielding over 3%.

ING SOLUTION PORTFOLIOS | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT |
The ING Solution Portfolios (the “Portfolios”) each seek to achieve its investment objective by investing in other ING Funds (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds.
Portfolio Specifics: ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC” or “Adviser”) is the investment adviser of each Portfolio. The Adviser is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V., a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management.
ING Investment Management Co. (“Consultant”) is a consultant to the Adviser. Both the Adviser and the Consultant are wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of ING Groep, N.V. The Adviser and the Consultant, working together, have designed Target Date (as defined below) asset allocation funds, called Solution Portfolios that will be constructed and managed in accordance with the following processes:
The Adviser uses an asset allocation process to determine each Portfolio’s investment mix. This asset allocation process can be found in the Prospectus.
The following tables illustrate the Target Sub-Asset Mix allocation as of May 6, 2005 for ING Solution 2015 and ING Solution 2025 and as of April 29, 2005 for ING Solution Income, ING Solution 2035 and ING Solution 2045 Portfolios.

* No amounts will be allocated to insurance company fixed contracts until the SEC grants exemptive relief permitting investment by the Portfolio in insurance company fixed contracts. There can be no assurance that such relief will be granted. In the absence of that relief the approximate target allocation to short-term bonds would be 15%. The allocated amound includes a portion of the Portfolio’s assets held as a liquidity facility in order to satisfy certain conditions required under the terms of the insurance company fixed contracts (see Description and Risk of Insurance Company Fixed Contracts).
(1) Although the Solution Portfolios expect to be fully invested at all times, they may maintain liquidity reserves to meet redemption requests.

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 (except as noted) and held for the entire period from July 1, 2005, inception of the Portfolios, to December 31, 2005.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC” or the “Investment Adviser”) created ING Partners, Inc. (the “Fund”) to serve as an investment option underlying variable insurance products offered by ILIAC and its insurance company affiliates. The Fund is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). It was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on May 7, 1997. The Articles of Incorporation permit the Fund to offer separate series (“Portfolios”), each of which has its own investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Fund currently consists of thirty-nine Portfolios. The five included in this report are: ING Solution Income Portfolio (“Solution Income”), ING Solution 2015 Portfolio (“Solution 2015”), ING Solution 2025 Portfolio (“Solution 2025”), ING Solution 2035 Portfolio (“Solution 2035”) and ING Solution 2045 Portfolio (“Solution 2045”) (each a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”). The investment objectives of the Portfolios are as follows: Income Solution — a combination of total return and stability of principal consistent with an asset allocation targeted to retirement; and Solution 2015, 2025, 2035 and 2045 Portfolios — until the day prior to the Target Dates, the Portfolios will seek to provide total return consistent with an asset allocation targeted at retirement in approximately 2015, 2025, 2035 and 2045, respectively. On the Target Date, the investment objective will be to seek to provide a combination of total return and stability of principal consistent with an asset allocation targeted to retirement. When Solution 2015, 2025, 2035 and 2045 Portfolios reach their respective Target Date, they may be combined with the Income Portfolio, without a vote of shareholders, if approved by the Board of Directors.
Shares of the Fund are currently being offered only to participating insurance companies for allocation to certain of their separate accounts established for the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by the participating insurance companies.
The Portfolios offer the following three classes: Adviser Class (“Class ADV”), Initial Class (“Class I”), Service Class (“Class S”) and Class T. The classes differ principally in applicable distribution and shareholder service fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Portfolios and earn income and realized gains/losses from the Portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without discrimination between share classes. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees.
Each Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other ING Funds (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Such policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. The valuation of each Portfolio’s investments in its underlying funds is based on the net asset values of the underlying funds each business day.
B. Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
C. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on ex-dividend date. Each Portfolio distributes dividends and capital gains, if any, annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
D. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Portfolios to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Board of Trustees intends to offset any net capital gains with any available capital loss carryforward until each carryforward has been fully utilized or expires. In addition, no capital
22
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
gain distribution shall be made until the capital loss carryforward has been fully utilized or expires.
E. Use of Estimates. Management of the Portfolios has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F. Repurchase Agreements. Certain of the Underlying Funds may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. An Underlying Fund will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by the Portfolio. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. There would be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE FEES
The Portfolios entered into an Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser. For its services, each Portfolio pays the Investment Adviser a monthly fee in arrears equal to 0.10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets during the month.
ING Investment Management Co. (the “Consultant”) is a consultant to the Investment Adviser. Both the Investment Adviser and the Consultant are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep, N.V. (“ING Groep”). ING Groep is one of the largest financial services organizations in the world, and offers an array of banking, insurance and asset management services to both individuals and institutional investors. The Consultant will provide 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 will retain discretion over implementation of the Consultant’s recommendations. The Consultant will provide ongoing recommendations to the Investment Committee of the Investment Adviser quarterly or as warranted by market conditions.
Under an Administrative Services Agreement between ING Fund Services, LLC (“IFS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, IFS provides all administrative services necessary for the Portfolios’ operations and is responsible for the supervision of the Portfolios’ other service providers. IFS also assumes all ordinary recurring direct costs of the Portfolios, such as custodian fees, director’s fees, transfer agency fees and accounting fees. As compensation for these services, IFS receives a monthly fee from each portfolio at an annual rate of 0.02% based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio.
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENTS IN UNDERLYING FUNDS

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Class ADV and Class T of the Portfolios have adopted a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby ING Financial Advisers, LLC (the “Distributor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, is reimbursed or compensated by the Portfolios for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Portfolio’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). The Distributor may pay, on behalf of each Portfolio, out of its distribution fee, compensation to certain financial institutions for providing distribution assistance pursuant to a Distribution Services Agreement. Under the Rule 12b-1 Plan, each Portfolio makes payments at an annual rate of 0.25% and 0.50% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class ADV and Class T shares, respectively. The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive 0.05% for Class T shares so that the actual fee paid is an annual rate of 0.45%.
23
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES (continued)
The expense waiver will continue through at least May 1, 2007. The Fund has also adopted a Shareholder Services Plan (“Service Plan”) for the Class ADV, S and T shares of each Portfolio. The Service Plan allows the Fund’s distributor to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with insurance companies, broker dealers or other financial intermediaries that provide administrative services related to Class ADV, S and T shares and their shareholders including Variable Contract owners or Qualified Plan participants with interests in the Portfolios. Under the Service Plan, each Portfolio makes payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class ADV, S and T shares.
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
Each Portfolio has adopted a Retirement Policy covering all Independent Directors of the Portfolio who will have served as an Independent Directors for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this policy are based on an annual rate as defined in the policy agreement.

NOTE 10 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified.

NOTE 11 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
In 2004 ING Investments reported to the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Boards”) of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, ING Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates have
25
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 11 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. ING Investments has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, ING Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including ING Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING’s variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Board.
ING Investments has advised the Board that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. ING Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated.
Based on the internal review, ING Investments has advised the Board that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.
In September 2005, ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD”), the distributor of certain ING Funds, settled an administrative proceeding with the NASD regarding three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered into formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. Under the terms of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”) with the NASD, under which IFD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings, IFD consented to the following sanctions: (i) a censure; (ii) a fine of $1.5 million; (iii) restitution of approximately $1.44 million to certain ING Funds for losses attributable to excessive trading described in the AWC; and (iv) agreement to make certification to NASD regarding the review and establishment of certain procedures.
In addition to the arrangements discussed above, in 2004, ING Investments reported to the Board that, at that time, these instances include the following, in addition to the arrangements subject to the AWC discussed above:
• Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) has identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.
• ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.
• In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.
For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 29, 2004 and September 8, 2004. These Forms 8-K and Forms 8-K/A can be accessed through the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal
26
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 11 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Board are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.
ING Investments reported to the Board that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Board that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, ING Investments reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.
• ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission. ING Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.
• ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.
• The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.
• ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.
• ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance.
As has been widely reported in the media, the New York Attorney General’s office (“NYAG”) is conducting broad investigations regarding insurance quoting and brokerage practices. ING U.S. has been subpoenaed in this regard, and is cooperating fully with these NYAG requests for information.
ING U.S. believes that its practices are consistent with our business principles and our commitment to our customers.
At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ING Partners, Inc., including a majority of the Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the advisory and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not “interested persons” of the Portfolios, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), approve the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Contract”) under ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Adviser” or “ILIAC”) provides investment advisory services to the Portfolios.
At a meeting held on November 17, 2004, the Board, including the Independent Directors, approved the Advisory Contract with respect to the Portfolios. The effective date of the Advisory Contract for the Portfolios commences on December 1, 2004, and will remain in effect for an initial term of two years. After this initial term, the Board will, on an annual basis, review the Advisory Contract with respect to the Portfolios and determine whether to renew the Contract for the Portfolios.
In connection with its approval of the initial term of the Portfolios’ Advisory Contract, the Board considered, with the assistance of independent counsel, its legal responsibilities and reviewed the nature and quality of the Adviser’s services provided to the Portfolios and ILIAC’s experience and qualifications. Among other items, the Board also reviewed and considered: (1) the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing services; (2) ILIAC’s compliance policies and procedures; (3) an evaluation of the fee structure and ILIAC’s profitability with respect to each Portfolio; (4) ILIAC’s current Form ADV and recent financial statements; (5) formal or informal regulatory inquiries, material litigation or administrative proceedings, if any; (6) supplemental materials, including the investment advisory agreement and investment advisory response for ILIAC; and (7) a memorandum from independent counsel setting forth the Board’s fiduciary duties and its responsibilities under the 1940 Act and Maryland law, the duty of care, the duty of loyalty and the business judgment rule, and the factors which the Board should consider in the review. After discussion, the Board concluded that ILIAC had the capabilities, resources, and personnel necessary to manage the Portfolios, and that based on the services that ILIAC provides to the Portfolios under the Advisory Contract and the expenses incurred by ILIAC in the performance of such services, the compensation payable to ILIAC was fair and equitable. Based on such information as it considered necessary to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, concluded unanimously that it was in the best interest of the Portfolios to approve the Advisory Contract.

JAMES M. HENNESSY
Dear Shareholder,
As you may recall, in my last letter I described the enthusiasm that we were experiencing here at ING Funds as we worked to bring more of the world’s investment opportunities to you, the investor.
That enthusiasm, I am happy to report, is continuing to thrive. With the New Year, we have launched a series of new international mutual funds, each created to bring more of the world’s opportunities to you.
Meanwhile, we have also heard you loud and clear. Our research tells us that many investors report that they find investing an intimidating and overly-complex endeavor. That is why ING is committed to helping investors across the country cut through the confusion and clutter. “Your future. Made easier.SM” is more than words; they represent our promise to you.
Those two objectives — bringing you more of the world’s opportunities and doing it in a way that is easier for you — are behind the development of the new portfolios.
According to a recent finding, 58 percent of the world market capitalization now lies outside of the U.S.1 In other words, the majority of investment opportunities are now beyond our borders and we think that the ING VP Index Plus International Portfolio — a broad-based international portfolio — is an easy, single-step method to gain exposure to many of those opportunities.
Meanwhile, the ING VP Global Real Estate Portfolio was developed as an easy way to bring global — international and domestic — real estate opportunities to the variable portfolio investor. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are becoming more and more popular around the world, and this new portfolio seeks to capitalize on that popularity. But again, we’ve made it easy. With just one investment, investors bring the diversification of global real estate to their investment strategy.
One of our goals at ING Funds is to find tomorrow’s opportunities today, and we believe these two portfolios are just the latest examples of that plan in action.
On behalf of everyone at ING Funds, I thank you for your continued support and loyalty. We look forward to serving you in the future.
Sincerely,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001104659-06-015820/g263733bg01i004.gif)

The views expressed in the President’s Letter reflect those of the President as of the date of the letter. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and ING Funds disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and because investment decisions for an ING Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of investment intent on behalf of any ING Fund. Reference to specific company securities should not be construed as recommendations or investment advice.
International investing does pose special risks including currency fluctuation, economic and political risks not found in investments that are solely domestic. Investments in issuers that are principally engaged in real estate, including REITs, may subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including terrorist attacks, war or other acts that destroy real property (in addition to market risks). These companies are sensitive to factors such as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. REITs may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements.
1 MSCI December, 2005
1
MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005
In our semi-annual report, we referred to mixed markets in which the U.S. investor lost on both domestic and international stocks, with gains in the latter trumped by the rebounding U.S. dollar. In the second half, global equities registered solid gains, although foreign markets ended the 2005 year more convincingly. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World® Index(1) calculated in dollars, including net reinvested dividends rose 10.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, and 9.5% for the full year. As for currencies, the dollar extended its first half run for the six months ended December 31, 2005, rising 2.1% against the euro (12.6% for the full year), 6.2% against the yen (14.7% for the full year), and 3.8% against the pound (10.2% for the full year). Commentators explained the U.S. dollar’s unexpected strength by pointing to relatively high U.S. interest rates, the re-cycling of oil exporters’ burgeoning wealth into dollar securities, the tax-related “repatriation” into dollars of U.S. corporations’ foreign currency balances, and, regarding the yen’s particular weakness, non-Japanese investors pouring money into the stock market but hedging their currency risk. Each dynamic was losing steam by 2005 year-end.
For more than a year, the main issue for US fixed income investors had been the unexpected flattening of the yield curve, i.e. the shrinking difference between short-term and long-term interest rates. From June 2004 through June 2005 the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) had raised the Federal Funds Rate by 25 basis points nine times, pulling other short-term rates up. However, the yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note had actually fallen by 0.71% over the thirteen months. This was put down to an apparently growing perception in the market that inflation was a problem solved, due to a vigilant Federal Reserve, cheap goods and labor abroad, consistent productivity growth at home and foreign investors’ hunger for U.S. investments. Occasionally in the second half, for example when Hurricane Katrina and Rita affected oil prices, having peaked near $70 per barrel at the end of August 2005 there, looked to be filtering through to general prices, and the trend seemed about to break. Nevertheless, in the end the forces of curve flattening prevailed. By December 31, 2005, the FOMC had raised rates four more times, oil prices and the inflation scare had subsided and foreigners were still buying record amounts of U.S. securities. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the yield on the ten-year Treasury rose by 45 basis points to 4.39% (17 basis points for the full year), and on 13-week U.S. Treasury Bills by 93 basis points (180 basis points for the full year) to 3.98%. The returns on the broad Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index(2) and the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index(3) was -0.1% and 1.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, and 2.4% and 2.7% for the full year, respectively.
The U.S. equities market in the form of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500”) Index(4), added 5.8% including dividends in the latter half of 2005 and 4.9% for the full year, thanks to gains of 3.5% in July and November of 2005. Other months were flat to down and by 2005 year-end, the market, trading at a fairly undemanding price-to-earnings level of about 16 times earnings for the current fiscal year, was definitely struggling. Stock investors were initially encouraged by bullish economic reports and even more by second quarter company earnings figures, on average up more than 10% year over year. The optimistic mood lasted into early August of 2005, when the S&P 500 reached a four-year high, before drifting back as resurgent oil prices made records almost daily. In September and October of 2005 with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita seldom out of the news, two attempted rallies fizzled. High prices at the gas pump were already here. An expensive winter for heating fuel was certain. Sharply rising factory prices started to be found in local Federal Reserve and purchasing managers’ reports and, with consumer confidence slumping, the word “stagflation” was heard more than once. In spite of this, as November approached, an evidently swift recovery from the Hurricanes Katrina and Rita cheered investors and stock prices powered ahead through mid-December 2005, as oil prices fell back below $60 per barrel, inflation moderated, corporate profits remained buoyant and gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth, at 4.1% per annum, was the envy of the developed world. Yet the market gave back nearly 1.6% between Christmas and New Year, when new reports suggested that the end of the bubbling housing market might be at hand. Rising house prices had encouraged the consumer spending that was largely behind robust GDP growth; spending that is, by people who on average were saving little, if anything.
In international markets Japan was the shining star of the second half, soaring 33.3%, based on the MSCI Japan® Index(5) in dollars plus net dividends for the six months ended December 31, 2005, and 25.5% for the

full year, as the market repeatedly broke five-year records amid new optimism. Investors, albeit mainly foreign ones, came to the belief that Japan is re-emerging as a balanced economy and less dependent on exports. Corporations and the banks have repaired their balance sheets at last. Rising wages are supporting domestic demand, in addition to an expected end to deflation, seems at hand. European ex UK markets leaped 11.8%, according to the MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(6) in dollars including net dividends for the six months ended December 31, 2005 (10.5% for the full year) and 14.7% in local currencies (27.7% for the full year) to the best levels in over four years, despite the first interest rate increase, to 2.5%, in over five years. Mounting evidence of a recovery in local demand, resilient profits and an upsurge of merger and acquisition activity boosted markets that are not particularly expensive. UK equities advanced 6.4% in the six months ended December 31, 2005 (7.4% for the full year) based on the MSCI UK® Index(7) in dollars including net dividends, concealing a more impressive 11.1% increase in pounds (20.1% for the full year), to the highest in four years. The period was dominated by the effect of five interest rate increases to restrain over-stretched consumers and soaring real estate prices. Yet, in the face of mostly miserable economic reports, and despite terrorist attacks in London over two days in July of 2005, investors, encouraged by merger and acquisition activity, supported an inexpensive market yielding over 3%.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES
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 July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005, unless otherwise indicated.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown, “Hypothetical 5% Return,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
The ING Partners, Inc. (the “Fund”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). It was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on May 7, 1997. The Articles of Incorporation permit the Fund to offer separate series (“Portfolios”), each of which has its own investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Portfolios serve as investment options underlying variable insurance products offered by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) and its insurance company affiliates. At December 31, 2005 there are thirty-one separate investment series which comprise the Fund. The four Portfolios included in this report are: ING Fidelity® VIP Contrafund® Portfolio* (“Contrafund”); ING Fidelity® VIP Equity-Income Portfolio (“Equity-Income”), ING Fidelity® VIP Growth Portfolio (“Growth”) and ING Fidelity® VIP Mid Cap Portfolio (“Mid Cap”).
Each Portfolio in this report operates as a “feeder fund” which means the only investment security is a separate mutual fund, the “master fund.” The Master Funds (VIP Contrafund® Portfolio, VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, VIP Growth Portfolio and VIP Mid Cap Portfolio) (each a “Master Fund” and collectively, the “Master Funds”) are a series of the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II (VIP Contrafund® Portfolio), Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund (VIP Equity-Income Portfolio and VIP Growth Portfolio), or Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund III (VIP Mid Cap Portfolio), each an open end investment company. Each Portfolio has the same investment objective and limitations as the Master Fund in which it invests. Typically, the Portfolios do not buy investment securities directly. The Master Funds, on the other hand, invest directly in portfolio securities. At December 31, 2005, Contrafund, Equity Income, Growth and Mid Cap Portfolios each held 0.4% or less of their respective Master Fund.
The Portfolios offer two classes of shares, referred to as Service Class (Class “S”) and Adviser Class (Class “ADV”). Each share class represents interests in the same portfolio of investments of the particular Portfolio, and shall be identical in all respects, except for the impact of expenses, voting, exchange privileges, and any different shareholder services relating to a class of shares. Shareholders of the Adviser Class of each Portfolio will generally be entitled to exchange those shares at net asset value for Adviser Class shares of other Portfolios that offer Adviser Class shares. Shareholders of the Adviser Class shares continue to be subject to the Rule 12b-1 Plan fee applicable to Adviser Class shares after an exchange. Shareholders of Service Class shares of each Portfolio will generally be entitled to exchange those shares at net asset value for Service Class shares of other Portfolios that offer Service Class shares. Shares of the Portfolios may be offered to segregated asset accounts (“Separate Accounts”) of insurance companies as investment options in connection with variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contracts”) and to certain of the Portfolios’ investment advisers and their affiliates. In the future, shares may also be offered to qualified pension and retirement plans (“Qualified Plans”) outside the Separate Account context. Shares of the Portfolios are not currently offered directly to Qualified Plans or custodial accounts.
Each Portfolio is distributed by ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”). ILIAC serves as the Investment Manager to each Portfolio. IFA and the Investment Manager are both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. (“ING Groep”). ING Groep is one of the largest financial services institutions in the world, and offers an array of banking, insurance and asset management services to both individuals and institutional investors.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Such policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
A. | Security Valuation. The valuation of each Portfolio’s investment in its corresponding Master Fund is based on the net asset value of that Master Fund each business day. Valuation of the investments by the Master Funds is discussed in the Master Funds’ notes to their Financial statements, which accompany this report. |
| |
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 |

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| |
C. | Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on ex-dividend date. Each Portfolio distributes dividends and capital gains, if any, annually. The Portfolios may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The characteristics of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. |
| |
D. | Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Portfolios to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Board of Directors intends to offset any net capital gains with any available capital loss carryforward until each carryforward has been fully utilized or expires. In addition, no capital gain distribution shall be made until the capital loss carryforward has been fully utilized or expires. |
| |
E. | Use of Estimates. Management of the Portfolios has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
| |
F. | Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Portfolio will always receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by the Portfolio. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. There would be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral. |
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Fidelity Management & Research Company (“FMR”) serves as manager to each Master Fund. FMR has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for each Master Fund. As shareholders of the Master Funds, the Portfolios indirectly pay a portion of the master-level management fee.
Each Master Fund, VIP Contrafund® Portfolio, VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, VIP Growth Portfolio, and VIP Mid Cap Portfolio, pays FMR a management fee for advisory services at annual rates of 0.57%, 0.47%, 0.57%, and 0.57%, of each respective Master Fund’s current average daily net assets. Pursuant to its investment management agreement with the Fund, ILIAC may charge an annual advisory fee to a respective Portfolio at annual rates up to the respective annual rates paid by that respective Portfolio’s Master Fund. If the respective Portfolio does not invest substantially all of its assets in another investment company. If a Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in another investment company, ILIAC does not charge an advisory fee. Each Portfolio anticipates investing substantially all of its assets in another investment company.
If a Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in another investment company, ING Funds Services, LLC will charge an administration fee of 0.05% of average daily net assets for that Portfolio. Pursuant to its administration agreement with the Portfolios, ING Funds Services, LLC may receive an annual administration fee equal to 0.15%, 0.15%, 0.15% and
20
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT FEES (continued)
0.17% of average daily net assets for Contrafund, Equity-Income, Growth and Mid Cap, respectively, if the respective Portfolio does not invest substantially all of its assets in another investment company.
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT IN UNDERLYING PORTFOLIOS
For the year ended December 31, 2005, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of the Master Funds were as follows:

Growth | | 11,334,645 | | | 1,106,654 | | |
Mid Cap | | 5,396,940 | | | 278,597 | | |
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Each Portfolio has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (“Service Plan”) for the Class S and Class ADV shares of each Portfolio. Under the Service Plan, a Portfolio makes payments at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class S and Class ADV shares.
Each Portfolio has adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Distribution Plan”) for the Class ADV shares of each Portfolio. The Distribution Plan provides for a distribution fee, payable to IFA as the Fund’s Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to Class ADV shares.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (“FDC”) distributes Service Class 2 shares of each Master Fund. Service Class 2 of each Master Fund currently pays FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets throughout the month. Shareholders of Class S and Class ADV of each Portfolio pay only their proportionate share of the Master Fund 12b-1 plan expenses.
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
Each Portfolio has adopted a Retirement Policy covering all independent directors of the Portfolio who will have served as an independent directors for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this policy are based on an annual rate as defined in the policy.
Investors in the Portfolios should recognize that an investment in the Portfolios bears not only a proportionate share of the expenses of the Portfolios (including operating costs and management fees, if any) but also indirectly similar expenses of the underlying mutual funds in which each Portfolio invests. Investors also bear their proportionate share of any sales charges incurred by the Portfolios related to the purchase of shares of the mutual fund investments.

NOTE 8 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2005:
| | | | Undistributed Net | | Accumulated | |
| | Paid-in | | Investment Income on | | Net Realized | |

NOTE 9 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
In 2004 ING Investments reported to the Boards of Directors/ Trustees (the “Boards”) of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, ING Investments and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information since September 2003 from various governmental and self-regulatory agencies in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. ING Investments has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, ING Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including ING Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING’s variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Board.
ING Investments has advised the Board that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. ING Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated.
Based on the internal review, ING Investments has advised the Board that the identified arrangements do not represent a systemic problem in any of the companies that were involved.
In September 2005, ING Funds Distributor, LLC (“IFD”), the distributor of certain ING Funds, settled an administrative proceeding with the NASD regarding three arrangements, dating from 1995, 1996 and 1998, under which the administrator to the then-Pilgrim Funds, which subsequently became part of the ING Funds, entered into formal and informal arrangements that permitted frequent trading. Under the terms of the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”) with the NASD, under which IFD neither admitted nor denied the allegations or findings, IFD consented to the following sanctions: (i) a censure; (ii) a fine of $1.5 million; (iii) restitution of approximately $1.44 million to certain ING Funds for losses attributable to excessive trading described in the AWC; and (iv) agreement to make certification to NASD regarding the review and establishment of certain procedures.
In addition to the arrangements discussed above, in 2004 ING Investments reported to the Board that, at that time, these instances include the following, in addition to the arrangements subject to the AWC discussed above:
• Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (a predecessor entity to ING Investment Management Co.) has identified two investment professionals who engaged in extensive frequent trading in certain ING Funds. One was subsequently terminated for cause and incurred substantial financial penalties in connection with this conduct and the second has been disciplined.
23
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 9 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
• ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (“ReliaStar”) entered into agreements seven years ago permitting the owner of policies issued by the insurer to engage in frequent trading and to submit orders until 4pm Central Time. In 2001 ReliaStar also entered into a selling agreement with a broker-dealer that engaged in frequent trading. Employees of ING affiliates were terminated and/or disciplined in connection with these matters.
• In 1998, Golden American Life Insurance Company entered into arrangements permitting a broker-dealer to frequently trade up to certain specific limits in a fund available in an ING variable annuity product. No employee responsible for this arrangement remains at the company.
For additional information regarding these matters, you may consult the Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A for each of four life insurance companies, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company, ING Insurance Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 29, 2004 and September 8, 2004. These Forms 8-K and Forms 8-K/A can be accessed through the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. Despite the extensive internal review conducted through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, there can be no assurance that the instances of inappropriate trading reported to the Board are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.
ING Investments reported to the Board that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Board that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, ING Investments reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.
• ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission. ING Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.
• ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.
• The ING Funds, upon a recommendation from ING, updated their respective Codes of Ethics applicable to investment professionals with ING entities and certain other fund personnel, requiring such personnel to pre-clear any purchases or sales of ING Funds that are not systematic in nature (i.e., dividend reinvestment), and imposing minimum holding periods for shares of ING Funds.
• ING instituted excessive trading policies for all customers in its variable insurance and retirement products and for shareholders of the ING Funds sold to the public through financial intermediaries. ING does not make exceptions to these policies.
• ING reorganized and expanded its U.S. Compliance Department, and created an Enterprise Compliance team to enhance controls and consistency in regulatory compliance.
As has been widely reported in the media, the New York Attorney General’s office (“NYAG”) is conducting broad investigations regarding insurance quoting and brokerage practices. ING U.S. has been subpoenaed in this regard, and is cooperating fully with these NYAG requests for information.
ING U.S. believes that its practices are consistent with our business principles and our commitment to our customers.
At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) provides that, after an initial period, the Portfolios’ existing advisory agreement between ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Adviser”) and IPI, on behalf of the Portfolios (the “Advisory Contract”), remains in effect only if the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ING Partners, Inc. (“IPI”), including a majority of the Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the Advisory Contract, and who are not “interested persons” of the Portfolios, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), annually review and renew the Contract. In this regard, at a meeting held on November 10, 2005 the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, considered whether to renew the Advisory Contract.
The Independent Directors also held separate meetings on October 11 and November 8, 2005 to consider renewals of the Advisory Contract. Thus, references herein to factors considered and determinations made by the Independent Directors include, as applicable, factors considered and determinations made on those earlier dates.
At the November 10, 2005 meeting, the Board voted to renew the Advisory Contract for the Portfolios. In reaching this decision, the Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual review process. The Board’s determination took into account a number of factors that its members believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham LLP (“K&LNG”), their independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment, to be relevant.
Provided below is an overview of the Board’s contract approval process in general, as well as a discussion of certain of the specific factors the Board considered at the November 10, 2005 meeting. While the Board gave its attention to the information furnished, at its request, that was most relevant to its consideration, discussed below are a number of the primary factors relevant to the Board’s consideration as to whether to renew the Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2006. Each Director may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Portfolios’ advisory arrangements.
Overview of the Contract Approval Process
In 2003, the Board that currently oversees the Portfolios determined to undertake steps to further enhance the process under which the Board determines whether to renew existing advisory arrangements and to approve new advisory arrangements. Among the measures the Board implemented was to: retain the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Independent Directors of the Board in working with the personnel employed by the Portfolios’ Adviser or its affiliates who administer the Portfolios (“Management”) to identify the types of information presented to the Directors to inform their deliberations with respect to advisory relationships; establish the format in which the information requested by the Board is provided to the Board; and determine the process for reviewing such information in connection with the Advisory Contract renewal process. The end result was the implementation of the current process relied upon by the Board to review and analyze information in connection with the annual renewal of the Portfolios’ Advisory Contract, as well as its review and approval of new advisory relationships.
Since this process was implemented, the Board has continuously reviewed and refined the process. In addition, the Board established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees, including a Domestic Equity Investment Review Committee. The type and format of the information provided to the Board or its counsel to inform its annual review and renewal process has been codified in the Portfolios’ 15(c) Methodology Guide (the “Methodology Guide”). The Methodology Guide was developed under the direction of the Board, and sets out a written blueprint under which the Board requests certain information necessary to facilitate a thorough and informed review in connection with the annual Advisory Contract renewal process. Management provides Portfolio-specific information to the Board based on the Methodology Guide through “Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables” or “FACT” sheets prior to the Board’s review of the Advisory Contract. Certain of this information for a representative sample of Funds in the ING Funds complex (other than the Portfolios) was verified, at the Board’s request, by an independent firm to test its accuracy.
On its own and as part of a regular on-going process, the Board’s Contracts Committee recommends or
29
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
considers recommendations from Management for refinements and other changes to the Methodology Guide and other aspects of the review process, and the Board’s Domestic Equity Investment Review Committee reviews benchmarks used to assess the performance of each Portfolio. The Investment Review Committee also meets regularly with the Adviser. The Domestic Equity Investment Review Committee may apply a heightened level of scrutiny in cases where performance has lagged a benchmark and/or peer group.
The Board employed its process for reviewing contracts when considering the renewal of the Advisory Contract that would be effective through November 30, 2006. A number of the Board’s primary considerations and conclusions resulting from this process are discussed below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service
In determining whether to approve the Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2006, the Board received and evaluated such information as it deemed necessary regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolios by the Adviser. This included information about the Adviser provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished for the November 10, 2005 Board meeting, which was held to specifically consider renewal for the period ending November 30, 2006. In addition, the Board’s Independent Directors also held meetings on October 11th and November 8th, prior to the November 10, 2005 meeting of the full Board, to consider the annual renewal of the Advisory Contract.
The materials requested by and provided to the Board prior to the November 2005 Board meeting included the following items: (1) FACT sheets for each Portfolio that provide information about the performance and expenses of the Portfolio and other, similarly managed funds in a selected peer group (“Selected Peer Group”), as well as information about the Portfolio’s investment portfolio, objectives and strategies; (2) the Methodology Guide, which describes how the FACT sheets were prepared, including the manner in which benchmarks and Selected Peer Groups were selected and how profitability was determined; (3) responses to a detailed series of questions from K&LNG, legal counsel to the Independent Directors; (4) a copy of the form of Advisory Contract; (5) a copy of the Form ADV for the Adviser; (6) financial statements for the Adviser; (7) drafts of narrative summaries addressing key factors the Board customarily considers in evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Contract, including a written analysis for each Portfolio of how performance and fees compare to its Selected Peer Group and/or designated benchmarks; and (8) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluations.
Each Portfolio’s Class S shares were used for purposes of certain comparisons to the funds in the Selected Peer Group. Class S shares were selected, as general matter, so that the Portfolio class with the longest performance history was compared to the analogous class of shares for each fund in the Selected Peer Group. The mutual funds chosen for inclusion in a Portfolio’s Selected Peer group were selected based upon criteria designed to mirror the Portfolio class being compared to the Selected Peer Group.
In arriving at its conclusions with respect to the advisory arrangements with the Adviser, the Board noted the resources that the Adviser has committed to the Board and its Investment Review Committees to assist the Board and Committee members with their assessment of the investment performance of the Portfolios and other Funds in the ING Funds complex. This includes the appointment of a Chief Investment Risk Officer and his staff, who report directly to the Board, and who have developed attribution analyses and other metrics used by the Domestic Equity Investment Review Committees to analyze the key factors underlying investment performance for the Portfolios and other ING Funds.
In considering the Advisory Contract, the Board also considered the extent of benefits provided to the Portfolios’ shareholders, beyond advisory services, from being part of the ING family of Funds. This includes, in most cases, the right to exchange or transfer investments between the same class of shares of such Funds, without a sales charge, or among Funds available in a product platform, and the wide variety in the types of Funds available for exchange or transfer.
The Board received periodic reports showing that the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio were consistently complied with and other periodic reports covering matters such as compliance by Adviser personnel with codes of ethics. The Board evaluated the Adviser’s regulatory compliance systems and procedures reasonably designed to assure
30
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
compliance with the federal securities laws, including those related to late trading and market timing, best execution, fair value pricing, proxy voting procedures, and trade allocation, among others. The Board considered the implementation by the Adviser of enhanced compliance policies and procedures in response to SEC rule changes and other regulatory initiatives. The Board also took into account the reports of the Chief Compliance Officer and his recommendations. In this regard, the Board also considered the policies and procedures developed by the Chief Compliance Officer in consultation with the Board’s Compliance Committee that guide the Chief Compliance Officer’s compliance oversight function.
The Board reviewed the level of staffing, quality and experience of each Portfolio’s portfolio management team. The Board took into account the resources and reputation of the Adviser, and evaluated the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment advisory personnel. For larger Portfolios, the Board also considered the adequacy of the resources committed to the Portfolios by the Adviser, and whether those resources are commensurate with the needs of larger Portfolios and are appropriate to attempt to sustain expected levels of performance, compliance, and other needs.
Based on their deliberations and the materials presented to them, the Board concluded that the advisory and related services provided by the Adviser are appropriate in light of the Portfolios’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs, and that the nature and quality of the overall services provided by the Adviser were appropriate.
Portfolio Performance
In assessing advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of each Portfolio, taking into account the importance of such performance to the Portfolio’s shareholders. While the Board considered the performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board and Committee meetings during the year, particular attention in assessing performance was given to the Portfolio FACT sheets furnished in advance of the November meeting of the Independent Directors. The FACT sheet prepared for each Portfolio included its investment performance compared to the Morningstar category median, Lipper category median, Selected Peer Group and Portfolio’s primary benchmark. The Board’s findings specific to each Portfolio’s performance are discussed under “Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis,” below.
Economies of Scale
In considering the reasonableness of advisory fees, the Board also considered whether economies of scale will be realized by the Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fee rates charged. In this regard, the Board noted that each Portfolio invests all of its assets in a corresponding “Master Fund” managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (“FMR”), and that FMR applies a “group rate” discount based upon the assets under FMR’s management, lowering the management fees payable by the Master Funds at higher asset levels. The Board considered that these reductions would indirectly benefit the Portfolios. The Board also noted that any waivers to or reimbursements of advisory or other fees payable by the Master Funds would have an indirect benefit to the Portfolios, and the extent to which economies of scale could effectively be realized through such waivers or reimbursements.
Information about Services to Other Clients
The Board requested and received information about the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser to other registered investment companies.
Fee Rates and Profitability
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rate, combined with the administrative fee rate, payable by each Portfolio to the Adviser. In analyzing this information, the Board took into account that no advisory fees are charged when the Portfolio is fully invested in the corresponding Master Fund, and that advisory fees charged by the Master Funds are indirectly borne by Portfolio shareholders.
The Board considered the fee structures of the Portfolios as they relate to the services provided under the Advisory Contract and the potential fall-out benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from their association with the Portfolios. For each Portfolio, the Board determined that the fees payable to the Adviser and/or its affiliates, which consist of an administrative fee while the Portfolio invests in the corresponding Master Fund and “other” expenses, are reasonable for the services that the Adviser and its
31
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
affiliates perform, which were considered in light of the nature and quality of the services that each has performed and is expected to perform through the year ending November 30, 2006.
For each Portfolio, the Board considered information on revenues, costs and profits realized by the Adviser, which was prepared by Management in accordance with the allocation methodology (including assumptions) specified in the Methodology Guide. The Board also considered information that it requested and was provided by Management with respect to the profitability of service providers affiliated with the Adviser.
The Board determined that it had requested and received sufficient information to gain a reasonable understanding regarding the Adviser’s profitability. The Board also recognized that profitability analysis is not an exact science and there is no uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose. In this context, the Board realized that Management’s calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Portfolios’ operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Portfolio in determining profitability, and that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by Management nor capture Management’s entrepreneurial risk associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in today’s regulatory environment.
Based on the information on revenues, costs, and profitability considered by the Board, after considering the factors described in this section that the profits, if any, realized by the Adviser were not excessive.
Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis
The following paragraphs outline certain of the specific factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions reached, at its November 2005 meeting in relation to renewing each Portfolio’s current Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2006. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. In each case, the Portfolio’s performance was compared to its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index that appears in the Portfolio’s prospectus. Each Portfolio’s management fee and expense ratio were compared to the fees and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
ING Fidelity® VIP Contrafund® Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Contract for ING Fidelity® VIP Contrafund Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2005: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark for all periods presented; (2) the Portfolio ranked in the first (highest) quintile for the one-month and year-to-date periods and the most recent calendar quarter. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account that the Portfolio launched in November 2004, and therefore had less than one year of operating history.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for ING Fidelity® VIP Contrafund Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract (a) under which no advisory fees are charged when the Portfolio is fully invested in Fidelity’s VIP Contrafund Portfolio (the “Contrafund Master Fund”); and (b) advisory fees are charged by the Contrafund Master Fund and indirectly borne by Portfolio shareholders; (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of ING Fidelity® VIP Contrafund Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including management’s analysis that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio (consisting of a 0.05% administration fee) is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is equal to the median and above the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (3) the Portfolio’s performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory Contract for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2006. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given

different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Fidelity® Equity-Income Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Contract for ING Fidelity® VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2005: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark for all periods presented; and (2) the Portfolio is ranked in the fourth quintile for the
year-to-date period and most recent calendar quarter. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account that the Portfolio launched in November 2004, and therefore had less than one year of operating history.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for ING Fidelity® VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract (a) under which no advisory fees are charged when the Portfolio is fully invested in Fidelity’s VIP Equity-Income Portfolio (the “Equity-Income Master Fund”); and (b) advisory fees are charged by the Equity-Income Master Fund and indirectly borne by Portfolio shareholders; (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of ING Fidelity® VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including management’s analysis that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio (consisting of a 0.05% administration fee) is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is equal to the median and above the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio’s management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (3) the Portfolio was launched in November 2004, and it is reasonable to permit the Adviser to continue to manage the Portfolio as a master-feeder fund investing in the Equity-Income Master Fund to assess Portfolio performance. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory Contract for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2006. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Fidelity® VIP Growth Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Contract for ING Fidelity® VIP Growth Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2005: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark for all periods presented; and (2) the Portfolio is ranked in the fifth (lowest) quintile for the year-to-date period and in the fourth quintile for the most recent calendar quarter. In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account that the Portfolio launched in November 2004, and therefore had less than one year of operating history.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for ING Fidelity® VIP Growth Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract (a) under which no advisory fees are charged when the Portfolio is fully invested in Fidelity’s VIP Growth Portfolio (the “Growth Master Fund”); and (b) advisory fees are charged by the Growth Master Fund and indirectly borne by Portfolio shareholders; (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of ING Fidelity® VIP Growth Portfolio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, including management’s analysis that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio (consisting of a 0.05% administration fee) is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is equal to the median and above the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.

(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
2
FORM OF
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.
3
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
4
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.
5
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.
