PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
In its recent meetings, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") ceased what was a two-year trend. That trend — a string of 17 consecutive interest rate hikes that ended last fall — was seen by many analysts as a sign that the Fed was concerned about containing inflation.
Now, the Fed is neither raising nor lowering interest rates, which puts us in the midst of what economists refer to as a "plateau." Historically, there have been six similar plateaus since 1982 and during four of those periods the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index") rose significantly.
Of course, the Fed's actions impact economies and market performance around the world. For instance, the current interest rate climate has been cited as one reason for a decline in the value of the dollar. Last year, that drop in the dollar meant that international stocks — which are often determined in foreign currencies — generally experienced strong performance as foreign currencies climbed and world stock markets continued to produce strong results.
Meanwhile, here at home, 2006 was an interesting year for equity investors. In May of 2006, the S&P 500® Index hit a five-year high followed by a market correction and several months of non-directional returns. A strong rally occurred in the second half of the year driven in part by the aforementioned dollar decline and the interest rate plateau. The good news is many economists believe that these conditions may continue in the months to come.
At ING Funds, we are committed to providing you, the investor, with an array of investment choices that enables you to build a diversified portfolio across a variety of asset classes. We do so, with a view that the globalization of markets is an initial consideration in the products we offer.
We take the confidence you place in us with your investments very seriously — everyone in our firm is committed to renewing this trust each and every day.

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
In our semi-annual report, we described how the feast of the first quarter had turned to famine in the second quarter for global equity markets on concerns that rising interest rates would freeze out global growth. Indeed as late as June 27, 2006, the year-to-date return on the Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") World IndexSM(1) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends had been precisely 0%. However, the second half of the year ended December 31, 2006, was much healthier and the same index powered ahead 12.3% and for the year ended December 31, 2006, returned 20.07%. The return to dollar based in vestors was a little better at 13.2%, as late in the year a slowing economy and hints that central banks would be diversifying out of dollars weighed on that currency. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the dollar fell 3.1% against the euro and 5.6% against the pound, but gained 4.1% on the yen due to stumbling growth and miniscule interest rates in Japan. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the dollar fell 10.6% against the euro and 12.4% against the pound, but gained 1.3% against the yen.
As the first half of 2006 ended, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") had just raised the federal funds rate for the seventeenth time since June 2004, to 5.25%. The relatively mild accompanying language led many in the fixed income market to hope that the tightening cycle was now over. Not everyone believed it, especially when new Middle East conflict pushed the price of oil to another record on July 14, 2006. But data, especially on housing, had mostly pointed to cooling demand and a tame employment report on August 4, 2006 probably decided the matter. Four days later the FOMC met and left rates unchanged. The booming housing market had been a powerful driver of growth in recent years through new construction and demand created by mortgage loan refinancing. This boom was deteriorating a ppreciably with housing prices and the key new building permits measure falling sharply. Only in the last few days of 2006 did the slump show some signs of bottoming out with unexpectedly good new and existing home sales figures reported, along with rebounding consumer confidence. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond ("LBAB") Index(2) of investment grade bonds gained 5.09% and for the year ended December 31, 2006 it gained 4.33%. The most important dynamic was the broad yield curve inversion, suggestive of an expected fall in interest rates and a further economic slow down. The ten-year Treasury yield fell 43 basis points (0.43%) to 4.71%, while the yield on the three-month Bill rose by 3 basis points (0.03%) to 4.89%. Since mid-August, with the exception of two days, bond investors had been prepare d to lend money to the government for ten years at a lower interest rate than for three months.
Faced with fading business activity, as the key housing engine seized up, and a yield curve inverted to the point of recession according to some commentators, investors in U.S. equities must have been in the mood to sell. Not so fast. Those investors saw things differently and indeed the apparent "disagreement" between the bond market and global stock markets was a well discussed feature of the second half of the year. For one thing, the oil price, having hit its record, fell back, as surly calm returned to the Middle East, as the summer driving and hurricane seasons came and went and as winter got off to a mild start in the key North East region. The price of oil averaged 22% less in the fourth quarter than at its peak, boosting consumers' spending power and confidence. And if longer-term int erest rates were falling then stocks looked more attractive as bonds provided less competition and the present value of future corporate profits rose. Speaking of which, Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price ("S&P 500®") Index(3) companies duly reported their 13th straight double-digit quarterly percentage earnings gain. Gross domestic product ("GDP") growth may have slowed, but the share of corporate profits, reported at 12.4%, was the highest since the 1950's. The next merger or acquisition to get investors in the mood never seemed far away. Five of them were even announced in one day on November 6, 2006, sending markets up about 1%. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the S&P 500® Index, including dividends, rose 12.7% and for the year ended December 31, 2006, the S&P 500&r eg; Index, including dividends, rose 15.8%. All but 30 basis points (0.30%) of the gain came after August 8, 2006, making six-year highs as the year ended.
International markets, based on MSCI local currency indices, as in the U.S., finished near their best levels for the year. In Japan the market advanced 8.7%, in 2006, after a late surge. The long awaited increase in interest rates from 0.0% to 0.25% took place in July just as the economic recovery was losing impetus. Third quarter growth was estimated at only 0.8% and generated by exports and capital spending alone. Consumer spending was lagging despite low

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
unemployment and almost flat prices, yet business confidence remained high and profit growth healthy. Elsewhere, Asian markets ex Japan rose 28.2% in 2006, but with wide disparities, ranging from –2.0% in Thailand to 83.4% in China. In Thailand the uncertainty caused by a military coup was compounded when the junta imposed exchange controls to hold back the strong baht, only to rescind them the next day. China's market soared in surely speculative excess, and in the absence of attractive alternatives, as investors sought a piece of the world's fourth largest economy. By the end of 2006 the Chinese market had become the third biggest emerging market after South Korea and Taiwan. European ex UK markets surged 16.1%, in 2006. The Eurozone's GDP growth had recorded its best first half of a year since 2000, 1.7%, and the lowest unemployment rate, 7.8%, since the start of the Eurozone itself. But as the second half of 2006, wore on there were signs that the best news was behind it and the third quarter's annualized growth fell to 2.0%. Business confidence, however, stayed buoyant and cheered by extensive merger and acquisition activity despite headwinds in the form of a strengthening euro, a hawkish European Central Bank that raised rates three times and the looming rise in German sales tax. UK equities added 8.6% in the six months ended December 31, 2006. The Bank of England raised rates twice as GDP growth accelerated to 2.9% year over year, inflation climbed above target and house prices, an import ant demand generator, continued their recovery with average prices up more than 10% in 2006. Again, however, it was widespread, large scale mergers and acquisitions energizing the market.

ING AMERICAN CENTURY LARGE COMPANY VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING American Century Large Company 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 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, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 19.30% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index(1) and the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price® Index(2) ("S&P 500 Index"), which returned 22.25% and 15.79%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Economic growth surged early in the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006. This in turn drove commodity prices, short-term interest rates, and inflation higher. But growth and inflation moderated in the period's second half, during which the U.S Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") halted its two-year string of interest rate hikes. The Fed's pause and expectations for lower interest rates and mild inflation going forward helped produce double-digit stock index returns for the 12-month fiscal period ended December 31.
In that environment, we received positive absolute contributions from each of the ten sectors in which we were invested, and all of our sector positions delivered double-digit returns. Nevertheless, for the fiscal year, security selection modestly slowed relative performance, causing the Portfolio to trail its benchmark by a slight margin.
Our investments in the financials sector, on average our largest single position, contributed the most to absolute performance during 2006. In a period marked by strong market performance, companies involved with the capital markets fared well overall. That was especially true for mega-cap commercial banks and for companies involved in investment banking such as Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and Morgan Stanley. However our zero weighting in Real Estate held back relative returns against the financials sector of the benchmark.
The energy sector also made a significant contribution to total return. We maintained a focus on international integrated oil and gas companies, which sport better valuations and are considered more defensive than their higher-beta, more aggressive cousins in the exploration and production industry. Earlier in the year, the latter group excelled, but in the second half, our patience was rewarded when oil and gas companies like the ones we own came to the market forefront. Major, integrated oil and gas companies, including ExxonMobil Corp. and Chevron Corp., were top performers.
The telecom sector was the market's best-performing area. After years of underperformance, stabilizing fundamentals among companies in the sector drove a strong reversal that made the group a rich source of absolute contribution. AT&T, Inc. and BellSouth Corp. were both top stocks. The acquisition of BellSouth Corp. by AT&T, Inc., a deal valued at $85 billion that will create the largest phone company in the United States, kept both stocks aloft.
While no sector detracted from absolute performance, we still encountered some individual challenges along the way. Chipmaker Intel Corp., saw its shares fall sharply early in the year after announcing robust earnings and revenue growth that nevertheless fell short of heightened expectations.
Elsewhere in the information technology sector, our stake in the computers & peripherals industry was rewarding. We held only one stock, and it was a top contributor. Hewlett Packard Co. is a good example of our price-sensitive discipline. It has long been a top performer, and as it has appreciated, we've gradually reduced our position.
From a relative perspective, stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector turned out to be a liability, and that group slowed performance against the benchmark the most. That was particularly true in the media industry, where a number of names performed well but did not meet our valuation criteria. Consequently, the Portfolio missed some of that performance. Unfavorable selection among multi-line retail firms also generated drag.
The top-detracting stock for the year on a relative basis was mortgage lender Freddie Mac. For much of the period, the stock struggled as delays in implementing new accounting systems raised regulatory scrutiny. The managers continue to have confidence in this firm's long-term prospects and have maintained the position.
Current Strategy & Outlook: The Portfolio is designed for investors seeking long-term capital growth who can tolerate relatively moderate share price fluctuation compared with volatility from more aggressive, growth-oriented investments. The Portfolio can serve as a solid core holding in a diversified portfolio, with the capability to outperform growth-oriented investments when the value discipline is more in favor, as it was for much of the reporting period.
As fundamental, bottom-up managers, we evaluate each company individually on its own merits, and build the Portfolio from the ground up, one stock at a time. In our search for companies that are undervalued, we will structure exposure to stocks and market segments as warranted based on the strength of individual companies.

ING AMERICAN CENTURY SELECT PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING American Century Select Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by Keith Lee and Michael Li, Portfolio Managers of American Century Investment Management, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended Dec. 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (1.75)%, compared with the Russell 1000® Growth Index(1), which returned 9.07% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: U.S. stock markets surged in 2006 as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board halted its two-year string of interest rate hikes. Rising stock prices early in the year gave way to a mid-year slump amid fears that rising inflation would accompany a recession. Inflation moderated late in the year and the economy remained relatively strong. As a result, markets began rebounding in July and rallied through the end of the year.
In April 2006, Harold Bradley took over as lead portfolio manager of the Portfolio and enhanced the Portfolio's investment process to focus more heavily on stocks exhibiting classic growth and price momentum features. The timing of the process change proved poor.
Prior to the change, the market favored sectors — energy, industrials and materials — that the Portfolio generally avoided because those sectors, particularly energy, have a spotty record in producing returns on capital. While a focus on return on capital remains important in the Portfolio's process, Mr. Bradley steered the portfolio toward more growth and momentum-oriented stocks, enabling the Portfolio to better take advantage of hot areas of the market.
However, investors tended to avoid stocks with growth and momentum features after the mid-year market selloff, which sent the S&P 500 down 5.68% between the end of April and July 15. Even as the market rebounded in the third quarter of 2006, adverse conditions for growth and momentum investment factors persisted. With the new process, the portfolio likely will perform best when the market rewards growth and momentum factors. But it typically will not generate excess returns during market cycles when both factors rotate out of favor.
The Portfolio recovered in the fourth quarter of 2006, as its 6.90% return outpaced its benchmark by 20 basis points. But for the year as a whole, overweight stakes and poor security selection in both health care and energy accounted for the bulk of the Portfolio's significant relative underperformance, and nine of the Portfolio's 10 leading individual detractors came from those two sectors. Poor security selection in financials and consumer-oriented stocks further reduced relative returns.
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. Growth and momentum factors returned to favor somewhat in the fourth quarter of 2006, and the Portfolio's performance improved as a result. If that environment remains in place in early 2007, we believe the Portfolio should stand to benefit, particularly if the market rally intact at the end of 2006 also continues.
Effective January 5, 2007, Mr. Bradley was removed as portfolio manager as he has left American Century after 19 years with the firm to take over as chief investment officer of the Kansas City, Mo.-based Kauffman Foundation. Co-portfolio managers Keith Lee and Michael Li will remain in their current roles.

ING AMERICAN CENTURY SMALL-MID CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING American Century Small-Mid Cap 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 Benjamin Z. Giele, Steve Roth, Phillip N. Davidson, Scott A. Moore, and Michael Liss, Portfolio Managers* of American Century Investment Management, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 15.43% compared to the Russell 2500TM Value Index(1), Standard & Poor's ("S&P") SmallCap 600/CitigroupValue Index(2) and S&P Small Cap 600 Index(3) ("S&P 600 Index"), which returned 20.18%, 19.57% and 15.12%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Small-Cap Value- The Portfolio's small-cap value investment sleeve received positive absolute contributions from all ten of the sectors in which it was invested but fell short of the S&P SmallCap 600/Citigroup Value Index, results attributable primarily to unfavorable security selection in the consumer discretionary and the materials sectors.
Investments in the financials sector, on average our largest sector weighting, contributed the most to total return during the period. Real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), were the strongest performers, followed by capital markets firms. In the latter group, we held several names that advanced and were not represented in the benchmark, including Lazard Ltd., a top-contributing stock. However, a significant underweight overall in REITs proved costly to performance against the benchmark.
Finally, effective security selection made the information technology sector another rich source of contribution and yielded the top-contributing stock. During the year, long-time holding Sybase, an infrastructure and mobile applications software company, raised its profit outlook for 2007 and announced plans to buy Mobile 365, which will make Sybase the leader in mobile messaging and content delivery.
Despite these successes, we encountered some difficulties along the way. Stock selection proved unfavorable in the consumer discretionary sector, which weighed the most on relative performance. One holding from that group that fell short was specialty retailer Pier 1 Imports. Despite aggressive pricing and advertising campaigns, the company reported disappointing sales, recording losses amid tepid consumer response to new merchandising initiatives.
In addition, we also maintained an underweight position in the metals & mining industry, a momentum-driven area where a number of companies did not meet our valuation criteria and therefore did not merit inclusion in the Portfolio. Our relatively smaller exposure slowed performance relative to the benchmark in this area.
Mid-Cap Value — The Portfolio's mid-cap value investment sleeve received positive contributions from all ten sectors in which it was invested. A strategic weighting and stock selection among companies involved in consumer staples (particularly providers of food products), plus an effective mix of information technology businesses, contributed the most to the Portfolio's relative performance.
In consumer staples, the investment team was rewarded for its decision to own Diamond Foods Inc., a holding not found in the benchmark. Diamond is a specialty food company that focuses on culinary and snack nuts, such as walnuts, pine nuts, and peanuts. The leader in its category with a nearly 40% market share, Diamond is expanding its product line, with an emphasis on higher-margin products.
While the information technology sector was up as a whole for the period, communications equipment companies were down for the period. The investment team avoided that part of the sector entirely, which weighed on the benchmark's return. Similarly, an effective mix of semiconductor companies added to the Portfolio's progress; the industry turned in negative results for the Russell Midcap® Value Index.
On the down side, investments in the consumer discretionary sector represented the largest drag on performance against the Russell Midcap® Value Index. A case in point was the Portfolio's larger position in Dollar General Corp. Over much of the period, the discount retailer found its profits squeezed by markdowns, higher shrink (loss from theft) and gasoline prices that both raised transportation costs and slowed spending by consumers.
Elsewhere, in financials, an underweight position in REITs, which were up strongly during the period, restrained the Portfolio. Shares of REITs have surged during the past few years, and continued their march in 2006. As a result of their sustained upswing, few REITs fell within the Portfolio's valuation criteria.
Current Strategy & Outlook: As fundamental, bottom-up managers, we evaluate each company individually on its own merits, and build the Portfolio from the ground up, one stock at a time. In our search for companies that are undervalued, we will structure exposure to stocks and market segments as warranted based on the strength of individual companies.

ING BARON ASSET PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Baron Asset Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Ronald Baron, Founder, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Chairman and Andrew Peck, Vice President, Portfolio Managers of BAMCO, Inc. ("BAMCO") — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since Portfolio's inception on January 3, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 11.40% compared to the Russell Midcap® Index(1), which returned 15.26% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Portfolio Specifics: The recreation and resorts industry had the most positive impact on the Portfolio's performance during 2006, led by Las Vegas Sands Corp. ("LVS"). The company's stock increased 130% last year as investors started to see value in its Macau China development plans for Henquin Island, an island about a five minute drive from the Cotai Strip that is expected to contain all non-gaming amenities to complement the gaming area of the Strip. The company plans to sell up to $20,000 condos, develop three golf courses as well as a marina and have other entertainment options for the Island including tennis and water sports activities. Strong results from Wynn Resorts Ltd. also helped LVS as it appeared Wynn Resorts Ltd. was growing the market and was not taking share away from LVS's Sands Macau property. In addition, investors became excited as the company's chief operating officer announced that it should be able to sell its Macau mall space for total proceeds between $6 billion and $12 billion, which could completely finance its Cotai Strip land developments. Finally, the company won a license to open a $3.6-billion casino in Singapore on the Marina Bay Waterfront that is expected to open in 2009. We believe this is a strong positive for the company as it will now be able to cross market the Chinese high rollers between both its Macau and Singapore properties. We think this cross marketing should be an even greater benefit for LVS as it will be able to take advantage of the gaming tax disparity, as the gaming tax in Macau is 39% while it is just 15% in Singapore. We believe the company's future projects on the Cotai Strip, as well as the opening of its Palazzo casino on the Las Vegas Strip in June 2007, should continue to drive the stock and the company's growth over the next few years.
The financial services-brokerages & exchanges industry also had a positive impact on performance for 2006 as all four of the Portfolio's holdings in this industry were up during the year. International Security Exchange had the most positive impact as the stock price increased in response to its impressive 50% earnings per share growth during the first three quarters. This earnings growth was driven by an increase in the exchange's average daily trading volume of approximately 40% during this period. Given the company's largely fixed cost structure, earnings generally grow at a faster rate than revenues. Options trading volume was helped by the growing institutional adoption of equity and index options as an attractive security class to both hedge risk and to make leveraged bets on the movement of underlying stock prices.
Advertising services and distribution industries had the most negative impact on performance during 2006. Stock photo provider Getty Images, Inc. was the Portfolio's poorest performer during the period. Getty Images, Inc. lowered guidance several times this year, as its creative images growth rates have slowed due to customers beginning to purchase images at lower effective prices from micro-payment sites and under subscription plans, as well as due to increased competition from traditional players. We have reduced our Getty position during the past several months, and now have a smaller investment in Getty Images, Inc. Shares of air conditioning equipment and parts distributor Watsco, Inc. were down in 2006 as investors digested the company's earnings which came in mostly in-line with expectations and were highlighted by double digit organic revenue and earnings growth. However, we think investors have sold the stock for two reasons: 1) con cerns that the company can not maintain its reported record revenue growth from price inflation and 2) the industry's transition to higher priced, more energy efficient air conditioning units known as SEER 13, where significant inventory dollars have been committed. Despite what we think is a highly predictable replacement business, Wall Street has been unkind to building materials distributors of late, choosing to value them as cyclical stocks tied to new construction housing. In reality, only 25% of Watsco Inc.'s business is connected to residential new construction. The fundamentals of its primary repair and maintenance business remain healthy in our estimation. In the beginning of the winter, the majority of the U.S. experienced unusually warm temperatures making its higher efficiency, higher quality air-conditioning units as relevant as ever.
Current Strategy and Outlook: BAMCO 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 healthy and sustainable rates.

ING BARON SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 of BAMCO, Inc. ("BAMCO") — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 15.24% compared to the Russell 2000® Index(1), which returned 18.37% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Industries that had the most positive contribution over the one-year period included retail-specialty stores, recreation & resorts and health services-insurance.
The retail-specialty stores industry made the largest contribution to the Portfolio's gain, with Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. leading the way. The retail industry has attracted a lot of attention from private equity firms due to the stable cash flows, high free cash generation and real estate assets. Dick's Sporting Goods share price performed very well in 2006 posting a gain of 41%. In mid November, the company reported very strong third quarter sales and net income which the company attributed to cold weather. Increasing same store sales, strong performance from new stores, and improvements in private labels has allowed for gross margins to increase and for selling, general and administrative costs to be lowered. We believe new store returns should increase as Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. has opened stores in, we think, the best trade locations and as competition among sporting goods retailers has dissipated following Dick's Sporting Goods acquisition of Galyan's and The Sports Authority privatization.
The recreation & resorts industry also made a significant contribution, led by Wynn Resorts Ltd. Wynn Resorts Ltd. was up 72% last year mainly due to investor excitement over the company's sale of its Macau subconcession for $900 million and the opening of the first phase of its $1.2 billion Macau casino in September. The proceeds from the sale of the subconcession helped Wynn Resorts Ltd. almost completely finance its Macau casino and significantly improved the company's leverage. Wynn Resorts Ltd. was also up on the announcement that it is paying out a special $6 per share dividend or $660 million to shareholders as a result of selling its Macau subconcession, a sign the company is confident about its prospects in Macau and feels well financed for its future developments in Macau on the Cotai Strip. Further helping the stock was Wynn Resorts Ltd.'s ability to increase its Macau market share from 9% in October to 16% in November. In addition, the stock continued to trade up as Las Vegas Sands Corp. continued to report strong Macau earnings and continued to maintain its 20% Macau market share even in the face of new capacity coming online.
Restaurants and distribution were the worst performing industries for the Portfolio in 2006. The decline in the restaurant industry was led by Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. which lowered guidance in November causing the shares to plummet. The company's new stores are more heavily weighted to new markets (60% of new stores are in new markets vs. 40% in 2005). These new stores in new markets did not regain a large portion of their honeymoon period sales and therefore had much lower sales than new stores in existing markets. At this time the percent of new stores in new markets cannot be scaled back to the prior 40% level because strong existing markets are either nearing capacity or have been sold to franchisees. The company now plans to scale back total growth and will attempt to grow new markets' average unit volume to a respectable level through experimenting with outdoor marketing, increased radio and potentially TV ads. We question how long it will take the company to succeed. The Portfolio no longer has a position in Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: BAMCO 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 healthy and sustainable rates.

ING COLUMBIA SMALL CAP VALUE II PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Columbia Small Cap Value II Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by Christian Stadlinger and Jarl Ginsberg, Portfolio Managers, Columbia Management Advisors, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since the Portfolio inception on April 28, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 1.70% compared to the Russell 2000® Value Index(1), which returned 8.50% for the period beginning May 1, 2006 through December 1, 2006.
Portfolio Specifics: Detracting from the relative performance were areas of the Portfolio that experienced weak stock performance versus the corresponding Russell 2000® Value Index sectors. For example, the Portfolio's industrial holdings (down 3.3%) underperformed those in the Russell 2000® Value Index (up 5.6%). The Portfolio's consumer discretionary and information technology investments were down 3.0% and 8% respectively, which lagged the benchmark's 9.2% consumer discretionary sector return and 0.6% loss in the information technology sector..
On the plus side, the Portfolio's investments in the consumer staples sector gained 28.9%, compared to 17.4% for the Russell 2000® Value Index, while the Portfolio's financial investments (up 12.4%) outperformed those in the Russell 2000® Value Index (up 11.3%) due to strong stock picking in the capital markets and insurance industries.
The third and fourth quarters were studies in contrasts as fears of a weakening economy hurt many cyclicals and helped more defensive sectors during the third quarter, despite company-specific fundamentals that signaled continued expansion and revenue growth. However, in the fourth quarter, investors realized that fears of a dramatic slowdown were unwarranted which spurred a rebound in many cyclical sectors. As a result, the Portfolio's industrial holdings declined 9.3% during the third quarter yet, rebounded by 13.7% in the fourth quarter.
Not convinced that fears of a wholesale economic slowdown were warranted, we continued to focus on strong company fundamentals rather than the prospects for a given sector. At the same time, we increased exposure to areas where improvement occurred, such as the textile and clothing goods companies within the consumer discretionary sector. Many of these companies may benefit from declining fuel costs, stabilizing in interest rates and resurgent consumer spending.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We employ a disciplined, bottom-up approach that incorporates quantitative screens, fundamental analysis and sophisticated risk management techniques. The investment process is designed to separate value opportunities — companies with solid top-line growth prospects and good cash flow fundamentals — from "value traps," those at a competitive disadvantage due to poor management, a weak product line or a hostile business environment.
We believe that the key to converting opportunity into performance is to purchase stocks that are at an "inflection point," i.e., companies likely to achieve improved earnings because of a change in business strategy, the introduction of new product or a change in the business environment, to list a few possible performance catalysts.
The Portfolio is positioned to avoid rate-sensitive financial companies, which may have difficulty expanding their margins due to pressure from an inverted yield curve, tight credit spreads, potentially deteriorating credit quality and slowing economic growth. We see opportunities within the capital markets area, where companies are more engaged in fee-based activities and where continued industry consolidation and heightened merger and acquisition activity bodes well for performance next year.
Additionally, we see opportunity in the industrials area, specifically those companies serving the aerospace and defense market. Within that group, some of the more promising prospects, which are likely to benefit from strong military spending trends, are in the original equipment and aftermarket space.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

ING DAVIS VENTURE VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Davis Venture Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by Christopher C. Davis and Kenneth C. Feinberg, Portfolio Managers, with Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 13.85% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 15.79% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Diversified financial companies were the most important contributors to the Portfolio's performance over the twelve-month period. The Portfolio benefited from its substantial investment in this sector, which out-performed the S&P 500® Index. Three diversified financial companies, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and American Express, were among the top contributors to performance.
Consumer discretionary and consumer staple companies also made important contributions to performance. One consumer discretionary company, Comcast Corp., and two consumer staple companies, Altria Group, Inc. and Diageo PLC ADR, were among the top contributors to performance. Two consumer discretionary companies, Apollo Group (purchased in March 2006) and H&R Block, and one consumer staples company, Hershey Foods, were among the top detractors from performance.
The Portfolio's largest investment was in insurance companies. While insurance companies made a positive contribution to performance, they under performed the S&P 500® Index. Berkshire Hathaway, Inc and Loews Corp. were among the top contributors to performance. Progressive Corp., Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. and Marsh & McLennan were among the top detractors from performance.
Our stock selections in the industry groups within the energy sector under-performed the corresponding stocks in the S&P 500® Index and this is the main reason why the Portfolio underperformed over all.
The Portfolio's investments in telecommunication service and energy companies also contributed to the Portfolio under-performing the S&P 500® Index over the twelve-month period. Telecommunication service companies were the strongest performing sector of the S&P 500® Index, but the telecommunication service companies owned by the Portfolio did not perform as well. While energy companies made positive contributions to performance, they also under performed the S&P 500® Index. One energy company, ConocoPhillips, was among the top contributors to performance. One telecommunication services company, Sprint Nextel (purchased in March 2006), and one energy company, EOG Resources, were among the top detractors from performance.
The Portfolio had approximately 10% of its assets invested in foreign companies at December 31, 2006. As a group, the foreign companies owned by the Portfolio out-performed the S&P 500® Index over the twelve-month period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe that a twelve-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.
Consistent with our low-turnover strategy, only two companies dropped out of the Portfolio's top 10 holdings, Progressive Corp. and Golden West Financial. Progressive remains among the Portfolio's top 20 holdings at year-end and Golden West Financial was acquired by Wachovia. Two new additions to the Portfolio's top 10 holdings at year-end were ConocoPhillips and Comcast, both of which had already been top 20 holdings at the beginning of the year.

ING FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 F. Corapi, Portfolio Manager and Director of Fundamental Equity Research of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 12.14% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 15.79% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio benefited from favorable stock selection within industrials and, to a lesser extent, telecommunications. Underperformance can partially be attributed to weak stock selection in energy and health care. Our decision to underweight integrated oils and gas companies in favor of exploration and production companies also detracted from performance. This sector experienced a flight to quality in the second half of this year, caused partly by a sharp and unanticipated decline in natural gas prices as cooler weather allowed inventories to build. Within technology, the Portfolio was hurt by weak stock selection in the hardware and equipment industry group as well as our decision to overweight the sector.
WESCO International, Inc. and ABB Ltd. were the greatest contributors to relative performance. Strength in WESCO International, Inc.'s commercial construction end markets, as well as utility company spending on the upgrading of electricity transmission and distribution (i.e., the power grid) helped fuel strong organic growth and margin performance. Like WESCO International, Inc., ABB Ltd. delivered excellent margin improvement and robust sales growth from utility spending on energy infrastructure. We believe ABB Ltd. still has significant upside potential going forward given strong demand and pricing in transmission and distribution and continued capital spending in the global energy markets. The Portfolio also benefited from investments in Verizon Communications, Inc. and AT&T, Inc. AT&T, Inc. benefited this year from improved wireline performance and margin recovery at Cingular Wireless. Verizon Communications, Inc. saw strong perf ormance in the second half of this year due to solid organic growth.
By comparison, our investment in Evergreen Energy, Inc., a company with a potentially revolutionary coal cleaning process, was a significant detractor to performance as management failed to reach its performance milestones during the period. This investment is in the process of being eliminated. Our investment in Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. declined due partially to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.'s announcement in October that they would sell generic prescription drugs for $4. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. was also hurt by increased competition and pricing pressures as well as the expiration of their exclusivity contract with Zocor. We saw significant headwinds for this company in 2007 and decided to eliminate our position. Within technology, our position in Yahoo!, Inc. was hurt by weakness in search and brand advertising as well as concerns over the delayed launch of its new search system. Due to a lack of positive catalysts for the s tock, we decided to replace it with Google, Inc. which we believe is better long-term investment in the on-line advertising space.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Currently, the Portfolio is positioned in companies which we believe have strong or improving competitive positions, robust end markets and/or superior capital allocation opportunities. Furthermore, we believe each stock possesses an attractive valuation and a clear catalyst to improve it. Top holdings include News Corp., General Cable Corp., Staples, Inc., Medco Health Solutions, Inc., and St. Jude Medical, Inc.
We believe that 2007 estimates for consumer discretionary imply an overly optimistic view of consumer spending which face significant headwinds such as the risk of a prolonged downturn in housing, a resurgence in the price of oil, or a longer-than-expected pause by the Federal Reserve Board. As a result, we remain selective in the sector favoring stocks with specific catalysts and less exposure to the consumer such as Staples, Inc. This company stands to benefit from several potential catalysts, including a turnaround in European operations and a strong and growing delivery business. Within media, we find News Corp. attractive based on our view that advertising spending growth will remain robust and that Internet advertising will continue to grow more rapidly than the industry as a whole. We believe News Corp is well positioned due to a number of key strategic acquisitions, such as MySpace and Scout. Additionally, New Corp should benefit fro m the renegotiation of its affiliate rates which are currently much lower than its competitors. We believe General Cable Corp. will best expectations given the robust end markets in transmission and distribution infrastructure, power and communications. We also expect that lower copper prices will drive margin expansion going forward. Finally, we believe that a recovery in the implantable cardioverter defibrillator ("ICD") market will be a significant growth driver for St. Jude Medical, Inc. as their sales growth is highly levered to this segment. We believe St. Jude Medical, Inc. should also benefit from a robust product line that continues to take market share in the ICD market.

ING GOLDMAN SACHS® CAPITAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 David G. Shell, CFA, Managing Director, Chief Investment Officer and Senior Portfolio Manager, Steven M. Barry, Managing Director, Chief Investment Officer and Senior Portfolio Manager, and Gregory H. Ekizian, CFA, Managing Director, Chief Investment Officer and Senior Portfolio Manager, of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 8.57% to the Russell 1000® Growth Index(1) and the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(2) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 9.07% and 15.79%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: We continue to base investment decisions on the identification of high-quality business franchises, rather than top-down macroeconomic views, sector rotation, momentum trends or next quarter's earnings.
During the period, energy was the top contributing sector due to strong stock selection. Although the energy sector overall pulled back in the second half of 2006 and ended the year as the worst performing sector in the index, the strong stock selection more than offset the broader sector's underperformance. Performance was mainly driven by oil well service companies such as Schlumberger Ltd, Suncor, Inc., and Baker Hughes, Inc. which tend to be less sensitive to the price swings in oil and in our belief exhibit long-term sustainable growth characteristics that are consistent with our investment philosophy.
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., a media company, aided returns as it reported higher fiscal third quarter earnings and boosted its 2006 revenue outlook during the year. While the education market continued to show weakness, management attributed the company's strength to improved cost management and performance within its financial services segment: Standard & Poor's. McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. also announced that it expects to post double-digit earnings growth in 2007.
In the technology sector, shares of Research In Motion were up 58%, driven by rallies in September and November that resulted from continued indications of consumer interest for the BlackBerry Pearl product. In addition, more carriers, including major operators in Europe such as Vodafone as well as Cingular in the U.S., have launched the Pearl. We believe the multimedia device should be largely incremental to the company's growth, as it expands its addressable market from the corporate into the higher end consumer market.
Shares of Yahoo!, Inc. sold off after the company reported second quarter earnings and warned of weakness in third quarter sales due to slower-than-expected growth in auto and financial advertising spending. Slightly lower-than-expected second quarter revenue was attributed to the company's lower revenue share in the search category of advertising. However, we observe that Yahoo!, Inc. is holding its share in total number of searches from a volume perspective. We believe that Project Panama, Yahoo!, Inc.'s new search platform, should help close the monetization gap with Google, Inc.
Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector lagged the most for the period including our holding in Carnival Cruise Lines. Carnival Corp. detracted from performance during the period and, in the second quarter of 2006, we sold out of the position. While the company met our investment criteria for its brand name, dominant market share, and strong free cash flow, the company has been beset by economic factors that have put pressure on profit margins. With the prolonged increase in oil prices, Carnival Corp.'s energy costs had grown over 50% in the past year. Carnival Corp. had been able to manage this cost through its pricing power, passing these prices on to the consumer. However, we became concerned that with the bifurcation of the consumer due to high gas prices, Carnival Corp. could not exhibit the pricing power it once had.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe that we are very well positioned for positive excess returns when many of the macro trends that proved to be headwinds over the past few years start to change and create an investment environment that bodes well for our strategy of investing in high-quality growth companies. Those multiyear trends include value outperforming growth, low quality outperforming high quality, and cyclical growth companies outperforming sustainable growth companies. Driven by a strong global economy, stocks of cyclical and commodity-based businesses that are dependent on a robust economy for growth have outperformed. The Portfolio is comprised of high-quality businesses that generate free cash flow and have long-term double-digit earnings-per-share growth rates. After 17 interest rate increases, consensus views predict that the economy wi ll moderate and aggregate profit growth will slow. In that environment, we believe our higher-quality investments in those businesses that are less dependent on a strong economy for growth will outperform. We saw this trend start to take hold in the second half of 2006, as many cyclical and commodity businesses started to lose the momentum they gained during the economic recovery. After four years of low-quality stocks outperforming, we believe we have observed a turn in the market as high-quality stocks led the market in the second half of this past year. In this environment, the quality growth bias in our Portfolio has begun to change from a performance headwind to a tailwind. In addition, as an out-of-favor asset class, we believe high-quality growth stocks are trading at attractive valuations. Stock buybacks, spin-offs, acquisitions and consensus-beating earnings all contribute to closing this valuation gap. As Warren Buffet said, "If a business does well, the stock eventually follows."
The Portfolio invests in large-capitalization U.S. equity investments and 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.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

ING GOLDMAN SACHS® STRUCTURED EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Goldman Sachs® Structured 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 Robert Jones, CFA, Managing Director and Chair of the Quantitative Equity Investment Policy Committee of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 11.41% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 15.79% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: In managing the Portfolio, we do not take size or sector bets. We hope to add value versus the index by individual stock selection. Our quantitative process seeks 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 Portfolios' sources of returns.
The Portfolio underperformed the S&P 500® Index for the year ended December 31, 2006. Returns to the investment themes were mixed for the period. Valuation and management impact contributed the most positively to relative returns. Momentum and profitability also added value, albeit less significantly. On the downside, analyst sentiment and earnings quality detracted from excess returns for the year. However, most of the shortfall for the quarter was the result of stock specific/residual factors. Over longer periods, we expect to see very little return coming from these factors, although over a shorter time frame they may contribute more significantly to performance.
In sectors, stock selection was negative in seven of the ten sectors for the year. The Portfolio's holdings in the energy and financials sectors lagged their peers in the benchmark the most. In contrast, holdings in the consumer staples and materials sector contributed most positively to relative performance.
In individual stocks, overweight positions in Jabil Circuit, Inc., Texas Instruments, Inc., and Amgen, Inc. were among the largest detractors from the Portfolio's relative performance. Conversely, overweights in Hewlett-Packard Co., Corning, and Synopsys, Inc. contributed most positively to relative returns for the year-end reporting period.
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 we believe that the value we add over time will be due to stock selection, as opposed to sector or size allocations.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

ING JPMORGAN INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING JPMorgan International Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by Howard Williams, Managing Director and James Fisher, Portfolio Managers of J.P. Morgan Asset Management (U.K.) Limited — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 22.20% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East® Index(1) ("MSCI EAFE® Index"), which returned 26.34% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio seeks to be diversified by both region and sector, with stock selection as the primary source of performance. From a regional perspective, our exposure to emerging markets and the U.K. aided returns, while Continental Europe and Japan detracted. Sector-wise, consumer discretionary and energy holdings proved beneficial to performance, while financials and utilities held back returns.
Japanese financials continue to lag, owing to uncertainties about the resilience of the Japanese recovery. In addition, some Japanese financials were held back by news of the government considering capping loan rates such as Credit Saison, which detracted from returns for the year.
GlaxoSmithKline PLC, the global pharmaceutical company, also detracted from performance over the period following news of potential new product delays and concerns over a slowdown in its asthma treatment sales. We continue to find shares attractively valued at current levels and believe the strength of the new product pipeline is underestimated.
On a positive note, CVRD, the Brazilian iron ore company, had a strong showing. There are market concerns about the supply/demand outlook for iron ore ahead of next year's price negotiations, but the companies we have spoken with have given early indications of another robust round of negotiations that should be supportive of prices. Nearing the end of 2006, CVRD completed its acquisition of Inco, the Canadian nickel producer, which should help transform the company into one of the leading nickel players in the market.
Our overweight position in Esprit, the Hong Kong-based global clothing retailer, also contributed positively to returns as shares rose after full-year profits increased to record highs. Esprit has an aggressive strategy to increase its market share in Europe, comprising about 85% of its global sales. We remain confident that the company is well-positioned to benefit from a new management team focused on expanding its brands and geographic reach.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Despite a backdrop of rising U.S. interest rates and a slowing U.S. economy, global equity markets performed well in 2006. There is, however, much to be vigilant about, such as the threat of even higher interest rates globally. Although the raising of rates in Japan would be a positive sign — that the domestic economy is at last finding some traction — further rate hikes elsewhere would be a cause for concern. Slower economic expansion, especially in the U.S., where the focus is on the housing market slump and its potential effects, could prompt cuts in interest rates. While frequently taken as initially positive by investors, this could portend more troubled times ahead.
In the meantime, markets still remain underpinned by valuation. While earnings growth expectations for this year are lower than last year, markets are still attractively valued. However, companies that disappoint with earnings expectations will likely be punished severely by the markets going forward. In an environment of anticipated scarcer growth, we expect our Portfolio of higher-growth, more cheaply valued companies to outperform the broader market.
In terms of asset allocation, we continue to prefer European, Asian and Japanese markets over that of the U.S. We have continued to favor increasing exposure to recovery in the domestic Japanese economy. While this proved disappointing in 2006, we continue to believe that all the conditions for a domestic recovery are in place and will be rewarded in the coming year.

ING JPMORGAN MID CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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, Portfolio Managers of J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 16.52% compared to the Russell Midcap® Value Index(1), which returned 20.22% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio underperformed the Russell Midcap® Value Index mostly due to stock selection in the consumer staples and healthcare sectors. Positively affecting performance was stock selection in the consumer discretionary and materials sectors.
At the stock level, Omnicare, Inc., a pharmaceutical services company, was a detractor to performance as its shares were pressured by several events, including legal disputes with regulators and the company's ongoing lawsuit against UnitedHealthcare Group, Inc. Despite these negative developments, Omnicare, Inc. is the largest institutional pharmacy provider with a significant low-cost advantage relative to its competitors.
Another detractor from performance for the period was CA, Inc., a corporate software firm. CA, Inc., missed its annual report filing deadline, and said it will likely need to restate previously reported results related to stock-option grants dating back to fiscal 1997. In addition, the company announced it may have also understated some of its subscription revenue prior to fiscal 2006. Given the company's uncertain outlook, we eliminated our position in CA, Inc.
Several holdings made positive contributions to performance, including VF Corporation, a leading apparel manufacturer. The company saw strong momentum in its outdoor apparel business and improvement in denim. VF Corporation also announced that it is in negotiations to acquire Eagle Creek, Inc., a supplier of adventure travel gear, which would bolster its fast-growing outdoor business. Acquisitions have allowed VF Corporation to transition its mature, lower-growth denim business into a diversified portfolio of higher-margin lifestyle brands.
Albemarle Corp., a specialty chemical company, was another top contributor to results. Shares of the company were strong throughout the year as relief from higher raw material costs and price increases resulted in higher margins and profitability. The outlook for Albemarle Corp. remains positive as demand for refining catalysts is expected to increase and declining raw material costs could lead to higher margins.
Sector allocations are a byproduct of our bottom-up stock selection process. The two-largest portfolio overweights are in the consumer discretionary and telecommunications services sector. The overweight in consumer discretionary results from the fact that many names in the sector have the sustainable free cash flow we look for in our investments. Our overweight in telecommunications services is based on our outlook for the underlying fundamentals of the stocks that we hold. We prefer to own rural telecommunications providers due to their defensive competitive profile.
The two-largest portfolio underweights at year end were in the information technology and utilities sectors. We underweighted utilities as we find it difficult to find attractive valuations in this sector. We also believe that many technology firms lack the stable business models we seek in our investments and, therefore, typically underweight this sector.
Current Strategy and Outlook: 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 undervalued companies that have the potential to increase their intrinsic values per share and to purchase these companies at a discount.

ING LEGG MASON PARTNERS AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by Richie Freeman Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, of ClearBridge Advisors, LLC* — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 10.29% compared to the Russell 3000® Growth Index(1) and the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(2) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 9.46% and 15.79%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The stock market ended the fourth quarter and the past year on an upbeat note, with a broad market rally that began in mid-July and continued through the end of the year. In mid-December, the Dow Jones Industrial Average† recorded a new all-time high and several other major market averages made substantial advances, leaving them at or near multi-year highs. Last year marked the fourth year in a row of gains for equities following the difficult bear market from 2000 to 2002.
For 2006, the effect of the Portfolio's stock selection overall contributed positively to performance relative to its benchmark of the Russell 3000® Growth Index, while the effect of sector allocation overall was negative. Stock selection in consumer discretionary had a very strong positive impact on relative performance, while stock selection in financials also had a meaningful positive impact. Portfolio overweights to consumer discretionary and financials, as well as an underweight to information technology also contributed positively to relative performance. Significant detractors from relative performance for the year included stock selection in information technology, health care and energy sectors, as well as an overweight to health care and underweights to consumer staples, industrials and materials.
In terms of individual stocks, leading contributors to relative performance included several media and cable television stocks that were among the Portfolio's leading detractors last year, including Comcast Corp., Cablevision Systems Corp., Time Warner Inc., and Walt Disney Co., all in the consumer discretionary sector. Other significant contributors to performance for the year included Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in financials, Forest Laboratories Inc. and Biogen Idec Inc., both in health care, as well as Weatherford International Ltd. in energy and Tyco International Ltd. in industrials.
Leading detractors from performance included holdings in UnitedHealth Group Inc., Amgen Inc., Genzyme Corp. and ImClone Systems Inc., all in health care, SanDisk Corp., Intel Corp. and Motorola Inc. in information technology, Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and Grant Prideco Inc. in energy, and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. in consumer discretionary.
Current Strategy and Outlook: At the close of the year, the Portfolio remained overweight in the health care, energy, financials and consumer discretionary sectors, with underweights in industrials and information technology, and no significant holdings in consumer staples, materials, telecommunications services or utilities. As always, the Portfolio's sector allocation is determined by the manager's disciplined, bottom-up stock selection process. The Portfolio's top 10 holdings as of December 31, 2006 were Comcast Corp. in consumer discretionary, Forest Laboratories Inc. in health care, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. in financials, UnitedHealth Group Inc. in health care, Time Warner Inc. in consumer discretionary, Tyco International Ltd. in industrials, Amgen Inc. and Genzyme Corp. in health care, and Anadarko Petroleum Corp . in energy.
In our experience, significant market advances have typically occurred during periods of extreme pessimism rather that during periods of euphoria. It is our contention that in order to create a more sustainable advance, it would be healthy for the market to undergo a correction, or at least a period of marking-time, in order to digest the gains of the second half of 2006. We believe the sooner such a correction is able to get underway the more durable the bull-market will be expected to be.

ING LEGG MASON PARTNERS LARGE CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Legg Mason Partners Large Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Alan Blake Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, of ClearBridge Advisors, LLC(1) — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S provided a total return of 3.88% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index(1) and the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(2) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 9.07% and 15.79%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: After early weakness in the first and second quarters, large cap stocks had a very good third quarter and an even better fourth quarter, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average(2) setting all time highs in the final week of the year. The appreciation in the second half of the year was largely fueled by a more dovish Federal Reserve ("Fed") beginning in June, declining commodity prices (oil, industrial metals), record share buybacks, strong merger and acquisition activity and most importantly, record corporate profits. In our opinion, corporate earnings remain strong, valuations are reasonable, and we note that the case for multiple expansion is not without precedent during a mid-cycle s lowdown, which would be welcome relief after five years of multiple contraction.
For 2006, relative to the benchmark Russell 1000 Growth Index, both overall stock selection and overall sector allocation negatively impacted portfolio performance, with stock selection accounting for the majority of the difference between the portfolio's return and the benchmark return for the same period.
Leading contributors to relative performance included stock selection in the financials and consumer staples sectors, as well as an overweight to financials and an underweight to energy. In terms of individual stocks, significant contributors to relative performance for the period include positions in Akamai Technologies, Inc. and Cisco Systems, Inc. in information technology (IT), Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and Morgan Stanley in financials, and Walt Disney Co. in consumer discretionary.
Significant detractors from relative performance for the period included stock selection in the IT sector, and to a lesser degree, stock selection in the health care, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. The portfolio's overweight to IT and its underweights to the industrials, materials, and utilities sectors also negatively impacted relative performance. For the period, leading stock detractors from relative portfolio performance included positions in Yahoo!, Inc. and eBay, Inc. in IT, Amazon.com, Inc. in consumer discretionary, as well as Genentech, Inc. and Amgen, Inc., both in health care.
During the period, the Portfolio closed its positions in EMC Corp. in IT, Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc. in consumer discretionary, Eli Lilly & Co. in health care, Expedia, Inc. in consumer discretionary and Xilinx, Inc. and Dell, Inc. in IT, and established new positions in Electronic Arts, Inc. in IT, NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. in financials, and Medtronic, Inc. in health care. The portfolio also added to several existing positions during the year.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Earlier this year, we argued that the market corrections of the summer were a harbinger of a much larger and longer change in market leadership, one that would recognize balance sheet strength and the consistency and quality of top-tier large cap growth stocks. Far from over, we believe we are in the early stages of this change in market leadership and that, despite strong price appreciation in the large cap growth space during the second half of 2006, valuations remain favorable. We believe 2007 will continue this trend as investors rebalance their portfolios as they reassess risk.
Though we maintain a positive outlook going into 2007, there remain significant issues that weigh on the global landscape at large that we continue to watch carefully. Weakness in the U.S. housing market (with its potential impact on the broader economy via consumer spending), a weakening dollar, an inverted yield curve, lack of measured progress in Iraq and a Fed balancing act, leads us to be believe that the coming year will be very much like the one we have just witnessed. We anticipate a high degree of volatility and additional emphasis on the importance of stock selection in investor portfolios.

ING LORD ABBETT U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Lord Abbett U.S. Government Securities Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks high current income consistent with reasonable risk. The Portfolio is managed by Robert I. Gerber, Partner, Director of Taxable Fixed Income Management and Portfolio Manager of Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since the Portfolio's inception on January 3, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 3.81% compared to the Lehman Brothers® Government Bond Index(1), which returned 3.48% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Duration relative to the index did not directly or inadvertently affect performance.
Portfolio Specifics: Bond markets faced headwinds in the first half of 2006 as tighter U.S. and international monetary policy and better-than-expected economic data pushed bond yields higher (and prices lower). The benchmark 10-year Treasury began the year yielding 4.39% and by June 30 had risen to 5.15%. As a result, most sectors of the bond market produced negative returns during the first six months of the year. However, the world changed for bond investors in the second half of 2006. The bond market rallied over 5% in price terms as the 10-year Treasury yield ended the year at 4.71%. The reversal could be attributed to a number of factors leading market participants to believe that the U.S. Federal Reserve Board's, ("Fed") interest rate tightening cycle was over and would be followed by a set of eases. In August, the Fed decided to hold the fed funds ra te (the rate at which banks lend to one another) steady at 5.25% after increasing it 17 straight times since June 2004. The Fed subsequently held rates steady at its meetings in September, October and December.
The primary contributing factor to the bond market rally was the evident slowing of the economy. Second quarter gross domestic product ("GDP") came in at 2.6%, sharply lower than first quarter GDP of 5.6% while final results for third quarter GDP were 2.0%. The downshift in economic activity is supportive of bond prices as investors expect the Fed to be compelled to hold rates steady, or lower them, in order to avert a recession. Additionally, benign inflation reports suggest that rate increases to date have, in the context of a slowing economy, been sufficient to temper incipient inflationary pressure.
With the exception of the May-June retrenchment in investor appetite for risk, portfolio securities with excess yield over Treasuries outperformed comparable maturity Treasury securities during the year. Therefore, our decision to overweight non-Treasury securities was rewarded.
The primary contributor to relative performance for the year was our large overweight in agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities ("MBS"). Based on attractive valuations, however, we significantly reduced our overweight position in MBS during the third and fourth quarters and added to our position in agencies. We have thus moved out of an appreciated sector and into one that, in our view, offers greater potential for return.
The maturity structure of the Portfolio marginally contributed to relative performance during the year. As the yield curve steepened in the second quarter, our underweight in long maturity debt and overweight in intermediate maturity debt improved relative returns. While we maintain our view that diminished global liquidity and the specter of inflation will cause the yield curve to steepen, we continue to opportunistically reduce the maturity structure position, diminishing exposure to the intermediate part of the curve and adding longer maturity debt.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Weakness in housing and manufacturing has resulted in a slowdown in the economy from its rapid pace earlier this year. Many market participants believe that the next move by the Fed may be to lower interest rates, coming as early as the first half of 2007. We believe, however, this may be premature. Change in the Fed's stance on monetary policy will be dictated by forthcoming readings on inflation and growth of the economy. Should inflation rates remain above the Fed's stated comfort range of 1-2% annually, the Fed will likely delay the beginning of any interest rate ease. However, if the slowdown in housing and auto manufacturing extends into other segments of the economy, and the slowdown in the broader economy is (as the Fed expects) sufficient to rein in inflation, then the policy outlook could become more volatile.

ING NEUBERGER BERMAN PARTNERS PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Neuberger Berman Partners Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital growth. The Portfolio is managed by S. Basu Mullick, Vice President and Portfolio Manager of Neuberger Berman Management Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since the Portfolio's inception on January 3, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 9.00% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 15.79% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Portfolio Specifics: We have placed considerable emphasis on energy and the consumer durables sub-sectors of the consumer discretionary sector, believing both in the secular supply/demand trends favoring oil, gas and coal companies and in the underlying demographics and macroeconomic variables supporting the long-term prospects of home construction firms and the overall strength of the consumer. For much of the year, these areas were a substantial drag on performance. For the first group, unusually mild winter - and then summer - weather lifted natural gas and coal inventories to high levels, putting pressure on commodity prices and, by extension, the share prices of our stocks in those areas. Meanwhile, homebuilding stocks were hit by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board's ("Fed") interest rate campaign and the rapid slowdown of the housing market. D.R. Horton, Inc. and KB Home were two homebuilders we owned which were particularly hard hit.
However, in the wake of the Fed's pause and renewed optimism for stable, albeit slower, economic growth, these areas recovered late in the year. In energy, the fall season brought with it a reduction in natural gas inventories and recovery in natural gas prices, as well as the stabilization of oil prices, which had declined from earlier peaks. In consumer discretionary, homebuilding stocks enjoyed strong fourth quarter returns, as did our retailers. However, this was not enough to make up for our earlier shortfalls.
Overall, financial stocks provided the largest contribution to Portfolio total return, in spite of our underweighting based on concerns about interest rate trends, as we outperformed benchmark constituents mainly because of brokerage shares.
Among our individual holdings, Phelps Dodge Corp. provided the largest contribution to total return, as the copper mining company agreed to be acquired by Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. Within the industrials sector, mining equipment manufacturer Terex Corp. posted a substantial gain, as fundamentals reflected the continued U.S. economic expansion, particularly in the construction and mining sectors, despite weakness in residential construction. Meanwhile, energy companies Arch Coal, Inc. and Foundation Coal Holdings, Inc. suffered pressure on the downside, due to weak prices related to the mild weather noted above.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The energy sector remains our largest overweight versus the index. We believe the long-term fundamentals for energy stocks are strong, and that our companies involved in oil sands, Barnett shale and other non-conventional sources of oil and gas are likely to perform well over the long term. We remain committed to our consumer discretionary holdings, believing the housing sector will stabilize in the months ahead and that the consumer will show resilience. Meanwhile, it seems likely we will add to our health care overweighting, as we are finding a number of attractive opportunities.
We are reasonably optimistic about the overall operating environment for our Portfolio holdings. In our opinion, although the U.S. economy has clearly slowed, low unemployment, still manageable interest rates and a still resilient consumer should maintain the expansion. We believe our energy, consumer discretionary, industrials and materials stocks are likely to benefit in this environment. We remain confident regarding the outlook for our selection of high-quality companies within these sectors and others, in part based on their attractive attributes including low debt, high margins, strong earnings growth potential and low valuations.

ING NEUBERGER BERMAN REGENCY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Neuberger Berman Regency Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital growth. The Portfolio is managed by S. Basu Mullick, Vice President and Portfolio Manager of Neuberger Berman Management Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since the Portfolio's inception on January 3, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 7.35% compared to the Russell Midcap® Value Index(1), which returned 20.22% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Portfolio Specifics: We have placed considerable emphasis on the energy and consumer discretionary sectors, believing both in the secular supply/demand trends favoring oil, gas and coal companies and in the underlying demographics and macroeconomic variables supporting the long-term prospects of home construction firms and the overall strength of the consumer. For much of the year, these areas were a substantial drag on performance. For the first group, unusually mild winter - and then summer - weather lifted natural gas and coal inventories to high levels, putting pressure on commodity prices and, by extension, the share prices of our stocks in those areas. Meanwhile, homebuilding stocks were hit by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board's ("Fed") interest rate campaign and the rapid slowdown of the housing market.
However, in the wake of the Fed's pause and renewed optimism for stable, albeit slower, economic growth, these areas recovered late in the year. In energy, the fall season brought with it a reduction in natural gas inventories and recovery in natural gas prices, as well as the stabilization of oil prices, which had declined from earlier peaks. In consumer discretionary, homebuilding stocks enjoyed strong fourth quarter returns, as did our retailers. However, this was not enough to make up for our earlier shortfalls.
Overall, industrial and financial holdings provided the largest contribution to Portfolio total return, benefiting from the Fed's rate pause and overall expectations for a soft landing. In contrast, stock selection within the energy and consumer discretionary sectors accounted for much of our performance shortfall. In energy, the Portfolio was negatively affected by holdings in natural gas and coal, as prices for those commodities were disproportionately weaker for much of the year. Quicksilver Resources Inc. and Foundation Coal Holdings, Inc. are two stocks that were particularly sensitive to those short-term commodity price moves. Although we eliminated Foundation Coal Holdings, Inc. from the Portfolio, we maintained our overall energy weighting, favoring areas outside of natural gas and coal. In consumer discretionary, our homebuilders, including Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. and Centex Corp., were affected by a speculator-driven increase i n inventories. We sold Pulte Homes Inc., but in most cases added to our holdings in these stocks, as we believe homebuilding stocks are significantly oversold at a time when fundamentals likely are approaching a bottom.
Among other individual holdings, mining equipment manufacturer Terex Corp. provided the largest contribution to total return, with its fundamentals reflecting continued U.S. economic expansion, particularly in the construction and mining sectors, despite weakness in residential construction. Phelps Dodge Corp. also posted a sizable gain, as the copper mining company agreed to be acquired by Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. Meanwhile, Omnicare, Inc., the pharmaceutical care company, came under pressure due to difficulties in absorbing a 2005 acquisition. However, we remain committed to the stock, which has substantial earnings power and a modest valuation.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The energy sector remains our largest overweight versus the index. We believe the long-term fundamentals for energy stocks are strong, and that our companies involved in oil sands, Barnett shale and other non-conventional sources of energy are likely to perform well over the long term. We remain committed to our consumer discretionary holdings, believing that the housing sector will stabilize in the months ahead and that the consumer will show resilience. The Portfolio remains underweighted in financials, in part due to our difficulty finding value among real estate investment trusts. We are also underweight consumer staples, and we have no exposure to telecommunication services.
We are reasonably optimistic about the overall operating environment for our portfolio holdings. In our opinion, although the U.S. economy has clearly slowed, low unemployment, still manageable interest rates and a still resilient consumer should maintain the expansion. We believe our energy, consumer discretionary, industrials and materials stocks are likely to benefit in this environment. We remain confident regarding the outlook for our selection of high-quality companies within these sectors and others, in part based on their attractive attributes including low debt, high margins, strong earnings growth potential and low valuations.

ING OPCAP BALANCED VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 of Oppenheimer Capital LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 10.36% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P 500® Index")(1), the Lehman Brothers® Intermediate Government/ Credit Bond Index(2) and the Composite Index (60% S&P 500® Index/40% Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index)(3), which returned 15.79%, 4.08% and 13.20%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: For the year ending December 31, 2006, the Portfolio delivered strong returns, finishing the period behind with its custom benchmark, a blend of the S&P 500® Index and the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index. Stock selection in the healthcare, materials and energy sectors had a positive effect on performance relative to the benchmark. Stock selection in consumer discretionary and financials sectors detracted from relative results.
Returns for the Portfolio were boosted by the selection of stocks in the healthcare industry. Aetna, Inc. shares rose through the period on strong projections. The country's No. 3 health insurer in plan membership rolls announced a 28% increase in third-quarter earnings and raised profit forecast for next year. Our position in UnitedHealth Group, Inc. also contributed positively as the company and its stock began to recover from a series of incidents and actions that led to the ouster of its chairman and prompted sweeping new corporate governance measures. The company is one of the largest managed care providers in the world and has amassed a record of solid revenue and earnings growth.
In materials, where stock selection was also strong, shares of INCO, the No. 2 nickel miner, boosted returns, attributable to news on mergers and acquisitions in the industry.
Stock selection was weakest in the consumer discretionary sector and was the main source of the underperformance for the year. Non-profit education provider Apollo Group, Inc. faced a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of its stock-option grants as well as reporting disappointing earnings due to increased expenses and weak revenue growth as a result of declining student drop-outs. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. suffered from high fuel costs and weaker demand for Caribbean cruises due to the volatile 2005 hurricane season.
The short duration bond portfolio, consisting of 100% short and intermediate corporate bonds' benefited the fixed income portion of the Portfolio during the year.
Market Environment — US stocks rallied in 2006 marking a fourth year of advances for equities and extending the third longest bull market since 1900. Value-oriented stocks generally outperformed growth stocks and small-cap stocks generally outperformed large. Among U.S. large caps, the telecom sector posted the largest advance, buoyed by heavy mergers and acquisitions activity. Energy stocks also did well, benefiting from higher oil prices, and utilities were strong. The health care sector had the weakest return for the year.
Bond yields rose for the first half of the year as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") continued to raise rates. Yields declined the second half of the year as the Fed refrained from further rate increases with the perception that the economy was slowing due to a weakening housing market and high oil prices. Still, the net effect for the year was an increase in yields and lower bond prices. The yield curve was inverted for most of the year as longer term bonds outperformed due to investors perception that the economy was slowing and the Fed would be forced to lower short-term rates in the near future. Continued purchases of bonds by foreign central banks were also instrumental in inverting the yield curve. Excess global liquidity dampened volatility during the year allowing corporate bonds and mortgage backed securities to outperform Treasuries.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to believe that the U.S. economy remains fundamentally strong, despite the recent deceleration, and inflation, it can be kept in check under these conditions. With moderating inflation and stabilizing oil prices, the economy may be in the middle of a decade-long expansion. We believe there is, however, some risk of a recession in 2007 or 2008, especially if inflation were to increase and the Fed were to raise interest rates to bring it under control.
We believe the stock market could move higher in 2007 if corporate earnings grow and investors become convinced that a recession is unlikely. Generally speaking, we believe valuations appear reasonable on profitability levels that can still rise.

ING OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Oppenheimer Global Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Rajeev Bhaman, Vice President of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 17.60% compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") World IndexSM(1) and the MSCI All Country World IndexSM(2), which returned 20.07% and 20.95%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio underperformed its benchmarks, the MSCI World IndexSM and the MSCI All Country World IndexSM, over the 12 months ended December 31, 2006. Our investment philosophy is based on the idea that earnings growth drives stock prices and that we are most likely to identify long-term earnings growth opportunities by examining trends that provide tailwinds for growth in the coming decade. We are very interested in attributes of industries and companies within those industries that are likely to be beneficiaries of these long-term trends. Ideally, we like to buy these businesses at a bargain price, that is, a price where we have the opportunity to double our investment in three to five years. This rarely happens except when there is a perception that something has gone wrong with a wonderful business. If we can identify that what has gone wrong is merely temporary, rather than permanent, we have the makings of a good investment.
From a market perspective, the weakest performing country relative to the MSCI World IndexSM was the United States, driven by poor stock selection. However, underperformance in the United States was partially mitigated by sector bets made in several emerging markets, including Mexico and India. The strongest relative performing sectors were consumer staples and energy, with healthcare and information technology the most significant underperformers.
We had some notable successes with some of our larger holdings such as Infosys Technologies Ltd., Reckitt Benckiser plc and H&M Hennes & Mauritz AB, but also some significant underperformances from eBay, Inc., Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and Boston Scientific Corp.
There were a few other disappointments, including a significant market slowdown in the demand for implantable cardiac defibrillators and a slowdown in the growth rate of knee and hip replacements which hurt a couple of our holdings. We remain confident that the long-term opportunity set for all of the segments that faced setbacks in the past year remains excellent and that our original theses will come to pass.
Our investments in software companies, Intuit, Inc. and Adobe Systems, Inc., continue to pay off, as the companies continue to innovate with new products that delight not only their existing customer bases but achieve even broader appeal. Our investments in Inditex S.A., the owner of Zara stores and Tesco plc, the UK's leading grocery chain, have been worthwhile as they continue to grow rapidly worldwide, leveraging their scale and supply chain to achieve high economic returns. Our investments in television companies, Zee Telefilms Ltd. in India, and Grupo Televisa SA in Mexico, contributed positively to the Portfolio's performance as they continue to retain high market shares in their respective markets and as the appeal of their programming grows worldwide.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We are finding terrific opportunities across a variety of areas particularly in technology. It should be noted that our investment decision making process considers the next three to five years as the operative period rather than the next quarter or two. We continue to favor a number of our existing holdings such as L.M. Ericsson and Juniper Networks, Inc., with additional investments, as the opportunity for communication network build-outs remains robust. Additionally, we are finding good opportunities to invest in the areas of analog and mixed signal semiconductors.
As global growth continues to chug along nicely and interest rates remain relatively low, we remain optimistic about markets generally. As such, we expect to continue to see good opportunities for investment. We remain focused on our long-term investment philosophy and our mantra of looking for "good companies in good businesses at good prices."

ING OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC INCOME PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 8.33% compared to the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond ("LBAB") Index(1), which returned 4.33% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio benefited from its emphasis on bonds and currencies from the emerging markets in 2006. Investments in Brazil, Mexico and Russia produced particularly attractive returns as these nations made progress toward reforming their financial systems and taming inflation. When concerns arose in the spring that a U.S. economic slowdown might precede a downturn in international economic conditions, the Portfolio's overweighted position in emerging market bonds hurt its relative performance. However, most of the Portfolio's emerging markets positions bounced back when U.S. economic growth moderated and U.S. interest rates stabilized. Bonds from Turkey proved to be an exception, as the country encountered regional political difficulties over the second half of the year.
The Portfolio's returns also were bolstered by its relatively heavy exposure to the euro, which gained value relative to the U.S. dollar. In fact, due to low interest rates, a soaring current account deficit and other factors, most major currencies advanced against the U.S. dollar during 2006, making investments denominated in foreign currencies more valuable for U.S. residents.
In addition, the Portfolio received generally positive contributions from high-yield corporate bonds. However, bonds in the lower rating categories tended to fare better than those with higher credit ratings. Because we had reduced the Portfolio's exposure to high-yield bonds generally and lower-rated securities in particular in anticipation of slower U.S. economic growth, the Portfolio did not participate fully in the high-yield sector's strength during the second half of the year.
Finally, our security selection and duration management strategies helped support returns from U.S. government securities. We captured higher yields than those provided by U.S. Treasuries by focusing on mortgage- and asset-backed securities from U.S. government agencies. In the spring we began to increase the Portfolio's average duration toward a range that was closer to industry averages. This change helped the Portfolio participate more fully in rallies as the market rebounded during the summer and fall.
Current Strategy and Outlook: As of the end of 2006, we remain guardedly optimistic regarding the prospects for currencies and bonds in the emerging and developed markets. We believe that the emerging markets remain fundamentally sound despite signs of slower growth in the United States, and bond prices may rise further as the global economic expansion continues. While strong corporate profits may continue to support high yield bond prices, we have remain concerned about rich valuations and the possibility that recent trends in corporate financing may cause default rates to rise. Finally, we expect U.S. interest rates to remain relatively stable, which may help keep prices and yields of U.S. Treasury securities near current levels.

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

ING PIMCO TOTAL RETURN PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING PIMCO Total Return Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management. The Portfolio is managed by Pasi Hamalainen, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 4.00% compared to the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond ("LBAB") Index(1), which returned 4.33% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Fixed income assets gained during 2006 as a whole despite a difficult environment in the first half of the year. The LBAB Index, a widely used index of high-grade bonds, returned 4.33% for the full year. At the close of 2006 the benchmark ten-year Treasury yielded 4.71 percent, 31 basis points higher than at the start of the year. The 2-10 year portion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve was inverted by 11 basis points at year-end.
In the first half of the year, bond markets struggled, as the U.S. Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") raised rates a total of four times and inflation pressures mounted, led by higher oil prices. The economic backdrop, in the final two quarters, was generally more benign. Interest rates moved lower for most of this period as the Fed held rates steady four times in a row and oil prices reversed course, helping ease headline inflation pressure. Markets interpreted the Fed pause as the end of a protracted tightening cycle in which the central bank boosted the federal funds rate 17 straight times between June 2004 and June 2006.
Interest rate strategies were mixed for performance during the year. An above benchmark duration through most of the year was positive for performance as interest rates stabilized and fell in the second half of the year. However, an emphasis on short maturities was negative as the yield curve flattened and inverted. An overweight to mortgage-backed bonds and security selection added to returns, as this sector outpaced Treasuries. An underweight to corporates was negative for returns, as demand remained robust in this sector despite historically thin credit premiums. A tactical allocation to high yield corporate bonds added value, as these securities significantly outperformed their high-grade counterparts. A modest exposure to municipal bonds also added value, as their lower volatility helped performance versus taxable bonds. Non-U.S. positions were mixed; Eurozone exposure designed to benefit when interest rates rise, was positive for perfo rmance, while exposure to the front of the United Kingdom curve detracted value, as their central bank raised rates. Exposure to emerging market bonds was positive, with capital continuing to flow into this sector. Currency exposure to the yen detracted from performance, as theYen depreciated versus the U.S. dollar. By contrast, exposure to the Euro was positive, as the Euro appreciated versus the U.S. dollar.
Current Strategy and Outlook: In our opinion, the most likely outcome for the global economy in 2007 is slower growth with modest disinflation. We believe growth in Europe and Asia will be less reliant on U.S. demand than in the recent past. Each of these major economic regions is likely to grow, in our opinion, at an annual rate of about 2%. We believe, the slowdown in the U.S. will be triggered by weakness in the property market that will spill over into consumption. In our opinion, the decline in the U.S. housing and auto sectors should generate weakness on a broader level in 2007, causing the Fed to begin easing over the course of the year. The predominant risk to the forecast is that the downturn in the U.S. economy will be worse than we anticipate because of a more severe contraction in housing. In an environment where risk is masked by low volatility and risk premiums are near historical lows, we plan to focus on select strategies that we believe can offer the highest potential reward relative to the potential risks incurred. These strategies include targeting duration above index and emphasizing short maturity positions based on a belief that global yield curves will steepen.

ING PIONEER HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Pioneer High Yield Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize total return through a combination of income and capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Margaret Patel, Portfolio Manager, and Pioneer Investments, the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since the Portfolio's inception on January 3, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 8.24% compared to the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index(1) and the Merrill Lynch Convertible Bonds (Speculative Quality) Index(2), which returned 11.77% and 17.15%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Portfolio Specifics: In 2006, high yield bonds generally performed well in absolute terms and relative to investment grade bonds, with performance boosted by very low default rates and generally narrowing credit spreads. Although spreads widened in a mid-year sell-off, the option-adjusted spread of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index over Treasury bonds narrowed from roughly 370 basis points at the beginning of the year to roughly 290 basis points at the end of the year. Lower quality issues generally outperformed higher-quality issues in a year marked by declining risk aversion, with the bonds of telecom, auto, and airline companies leading, posting returns over 20%.
Consistent with what would be expected in an environment where lower quality generally outperformed, our higher quality bias as well as our avoidance of CCC-rated issues and lack of exposure to the telecom, auto, and airline industries produced returns that were lower than the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. Yield spreads offered little incremental compensation for incremental credit risk. We also avoided new-issue C-rated issues believing that the fundamental riskiness of the issuing companies was problematic and that there were companies with better fundamentals and attractive risk return tradeoffs. Returns were boosted by our success in selecting the bonds of companies whose profitability, free cash flow, and creditworthiness benefited from the strong economy (in sectors such as manufacturing, chemicals, and real estate, in particular), by the success of our value-oriented approach in buying the bonds of companies which were acq uired (and the bonds called or pre-paid), and by the superior returns earned by our common stock and convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks, whose performance is linked to the underlying equities. . As always, specific issuer/security selection decisions can be important drivers of returns in the short run, but our diversification disciplines ensured that no individual name had an outsized performance impact over the full year.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to believe that the U.S. economy, while slowing moderately, has the potential to surprise on the upside next year. We are not expecting the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") to lower rates in the first half of 2007. The economy is strong and inflation remains in the upper end of the Fed's tolerance zone.
Employing our industry-centered approach, we continue to favor economically sensitive sectors such as basic materials and industrials which should continue to post improving financial results, benefiting from strong economic growth worldwide. Materials had strong earnings growth in 2006, but with continued demand, fears about excess capacity and price weaknesses are unlikely to be realized.
While an economic slowdown does not appear imminent, we continue to focus on high yield bonds with above-average quality ratings, with minimal exposure to the lowest-rated issues. We do not think incremental yields for moving to lower quality issues adequately compensate investors for incremental credit risk. Our strategy may lead to modest underperformance in the short run — as long as markets reward risk-taking — but we believe our strategy should protect investors' capital if and when conditions weaken and investors engage in a flight to safety.

ING T. ROWE PRICE DIVERSIFIED MID CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING T. Rowe Price Diversified Mid Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Donald J. Peters, Portfolio Manager of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 8.97% compared to the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 400 Index(1) and the Russell Midcap® Growth Index(2), which returned 10.32% and 10.66%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Gains for the Portfolio were broadly based; with only the energy sector serving up negative returns. On a relative basis, the Portfolio trailed its Russell Midcap® Growth Index for the year, largely as a result of stock selection decisions. Active sector weighting decisions were largely offsetting.
Holdings in the information technology sector contributed most significantly to underperformance for the year; stock selection decisions in the materials sector and among industrials and business service companies also detracted. Portfolio holdings in the consumer discretionary sector and among consumer staples and utilities companies benefited relative results. The underweighting of the materials sector and the overweighting of healthcare hampered relative performance but were largely offset by the benefits of overweights in telecommunication services, driven by our exposure to wireless telecommunication services and financials.
Stock selection in the semiconductors and semiconductor services industry was most problematic for the Portfolio. Not holding shares of the graphics chipmaker Nvidia Corp. hurt relative returns, while our position in Marvell Technology Group Ltd., the leading developer of chips for electronic switches and gateways, was weak for several reasons — investor concerns over acquisition of Intel Corp's handset chip business, weak end markets, and stock options back-dating fears. Stock picks in Internet software and services also lagged the benchmark. Stock selection among software companies was a bright spot. Holding the design software company Autodesk, Inc. benefited relative results as share prices rose on strong sales and profitability. Technology spending currently stands at nearly a 10-year low level, which we believe is unsustainable for businesses. With technology valuations modest and profitability strong, we remain constructive.
Within the consumer discretionary sector, stock selection in media and specialty retail aided relative performance. In media, the Portfolio benefited from not owning Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc. or XM Satellite Radio Holdings, Inc. The two companies, fierce competitors, have struggled to add new users and retain existing listeners. They continue to undercut each other in a price war. Our position in media company Lamar Advertising Co. contributed positively.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Overall, we remain optimistic about the Portfolio's prospects, even as we are somewhat guarded about the economic environment. We will continue to utilize the same techniques for finding reasonably priced growth stocks that have served us well in the past. We believe investor concerns toward inflation, the pace of economic growth, and geopolitical instability may lead from a risk-seeking posture to one that is more balanced. Already some of the more speculative market activity appears to have dissipated and investors' raised awareness of risks could well create a more favorable environment for our investment style. In our opinion, long-term investors may value the types of high-quality growth stocks we favor — companies with solid fundamentals, well considered business models and competent managements with long-term orient ation. These types of businesses have the ability to sustain and grow earnings even in tough economic conditions and we remain optimistic about their future prospects.

ING T. ROWE PRICE GROWTH EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 Robert W. Smith, Portfolio Manager of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares, provided a total return of 13.30% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 15.79% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio's return in 2006 reflected the double-digit gain in the U.S. stock market — its fourth consecutive year of positive performance. Despite evidence of slowing economic growth, stocks rallied thanks to robust corporate earnings growth, declining energy prices, and significant merger and acquisition activity, particularly a marked increase in buyouts by private equity firms. One reason the Portfolio lagged the S&P 500® Index was the general underperformance of large-cap growth stocks, which generally trailed large-cap value issues by a wide margin in 2006.
Sector weightings also contributed to the Portfolio's underperformance of the index in 2006. In particular, overweights in the information technology and healthcare sectors — which were the weakest-performing segments of the index — and an underweight in the energy sector detracted from relative performance. On the positive side, an overweight in consumer discretionary stocks and an underweight in the industrial and business services sector provided a lift to relative results.
Stock selection was mixed but detracted overall from performance compared with the index. Within the Portfolio's holdings, seven of the ten biggest detractors from relative results came from the information technology and health care sectors. Internet company Yahoo!, Inc. was the Portfolio's bottom relative contributor, declining amid concerns about a new software product, while computer maker Dell, Inc. struggled with increased price competition and poor execution of its business model. In the health care sector, an emphasis on health services providers hindered relative results; UnitedHealth Group, Inc. which fell after an investigation uncovered backdating of stock options at the company, was the Portfolio's biggest relative detractor in this area. Health care equipment companies such as Medtronic, Inc. and St. Jude Medical, Inc. were hurt by slowing sales, product recalls, and Medicare reimbursement difficulties.
On the positive side, stock selection was most successful in the consumer discretionary sector, where choices among gaming companies and retailers added value. Casino operators Wynn Resorts Ltd. and MGM Mirage posted strong returns amid high expectations for growth in Macau, a major Asian gaming destination. Department store chain Kohl's Corp. and online retailer Amazon.com, Inc. also delivered healthy gains for the year. Another favorable area for stock selection was the industrial and business services sector, where an overweight position in machinery stocks — including instrumentation manufacturer Danaher Corp., mining equipment maker Joy Global, Inc. and agricultural machinery company Deere & Co. — helped the most as sales remained robust despite the economic slowdown.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe the market is underestimating the strength of the global economy and the resilience of corporate earnings and cash-flow growth. Nonetheless, U.S. economic growth is likely to moderate in the coming year, and as a result, earnings delivery will be the key driver of relative performance. We believe that investors will be attracted to — and bestow higher prices on — companies producing stable earnings growth. Toward that end, we are focusing on companies with diversified revenue streams and significant business outside of the U.S. We believe that our Portfolio of high-quality growth stocks is well positioned as we move into 2007.

ING TEMPLETON FOREIGN EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital growth. The Portfolio is managed by Mr. Gary Motyl, Cindy Sweeting, Antonio Docal, Peter Nori, and Matthew Nagle of Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC, the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since the Portfolio's inception on January 3, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 21.70% compared to Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") All Country World ex U.S. IndexSM(1), which returned 26.65% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Portfolio Specifics: Global equity markets performed well in 2006, driven by strong corporate profit growth, resilient consumer spending and a relatively moderate interest rate environment. Broad merger and acquisition activity, most notably involving private equity, was a driver of market appreciation in Europe and the U.S. In the year's second half, oil prices declined from elevated levels and provided additional momentum to stock prices. Aside from crude oil prices, which ended the year relatively flat, many commodities' prices rose sharply in 2006, buoyed by strong demand growth from emerging markets and investors.
Although U.S. equity markets staged a strong recovery in the year's fourth quarter, many overseas stock markets outperformed their U.S. counterparts, in part due to the U.S. dollar's weakness against the euro and other currencies. Asian markets performed well, with the notable exception of Japan, which appreciated modestly after climbing significantly in 2005.
During the period under review, the Portfolio experienced double-digit total returns in eight of ten major sectors, with the industrials, consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors performing well. Holdings that delivered strong returns from these sectors included France's Michelin (tire manufacturer), Sweden's Atlas Copco AB (compressors and construction and mining equipment), the U.K.'s Compass Group PLC (food services), and Norway's Telenor ASA, Spain's Telefonica SA and China Telecom (telecommunication services). The Portfolio's underweighted positions in the financials, materials and consumer staples sectors hindered results relative to the MSCI All Country World ex U.S. IndexSM. Each of these sectors performed well during the period. In an environment of protracted global economic growth, demand for industrial commodities and related equities was heightened. Certain technology stocks also hindered relative results, including South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. GDR (semiconductors and semiconductor equipment) and Taiwan's Compal Electronics, Inc. GDR (computers and peripherals). These stocks, which are not index components, lost value during the period. Cash was also a drag on relative performance during the period.
The U.S. dollar depreciated versus most foreign currencies for the year, which also contributed to the Portfolio's performance because investments in securities with non-U.S. currency exposure gained value as the dollar weakened.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our value-oriented, bottom-up process drives our stock selection and, therefore, the Portfolio's returns. Over the past several quarters, we deemed valuations in certain of our materials-related holdings exceeded what we could justify based on underlying company and industry fundamentals. Consequently, we reduced or liquidated several positions, especially given investment alternatives that our analyses indicated had greater potential to unlock shareholder value over the long term. We used part of the proceeds to purchase shares of telecommunication services companies. At period-end, the portfolio's largest relative overweighted position was in the telecommunication services sector.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

ING THORNBURG VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Thornburg Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by of Thornburg Investment Management ("Thornburg") — the Sub-Adviser*.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 16.84% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned 15.79% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio was sub-advised by Massachusetts Financial Services Company for the period from January 1, 2006 through August 7, 2006. During this time period technology, consumer discretionary, utilities and communications were the Portfolio's top detracting sectors relative to the benchmark. Within the technology sector, a combination of stock selection and an over-weighted position hurt relative performance. In this sector, network equipment manufacturer Juniper Networks, direct-sale computer vendor Dell, telecommunications equipment company Nortel Networks, and semiconductor company Intel were among the Portfolio's top detractors. Stock selection and, to a lesser extent, our over-weighted position in the retailing sector held back relative performance. Apparel retailer Urban Outfitters and auto parts company Advance Auto Parts dampen ed relative results. In the utilities and communications sector, a combination of stock selection and an underweighted position detracted from relative returns. Stock selection in other sectors also had a negative impact on relative performance and included package manufacturer Owens Illinois, multimedia image provider Getty Images, manufacturing conglomerate Tyco International, and cardiovascular medical devices maker St. Jude Medical.
Consumer staples and financial services were the top contributing sectors relative to the Portfolio's benchmark. In both sectors, stock selection was the key factor. In the consumer staples sector, global food company Nestle S.A was beneficial to relative results. Stock selection in other sectors had a positive impact on relative returns also included mining giant BHP Billiton, discount department store Kohl's, integrated oil and gas company Hess, and specialty used-car dealer CarMax. Elsewhere, billing software company Amdocs, media conglomerate Walt Disney, and software giants Oracle and Microsoft aided relative results. Not holding weak-performing benchmark constituent General Electric also helped.
For the period from August 8, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's stock selection was particularly strong in the Consumer Discretionary sector with positive contributions from a diverse array of holdings including Las Vegas Sands and DIRECTV Group. Las Vegas Sands, the largest single contributor to the Portfolio, was recognized for the potential value of its gaming property developments in Macau and Singapore. DIRECTV Group rebounded from a modest valuation for its attractive annuity-like subscription revenue stream.
Financials and Telecommunications also offered positive contributors such as NYSE Group and NII Holdings. NYSE Group has successfully transitioned the business model away from a not-for-profit entity run for its exchange members to a for-profit enterprise that will speed execution, enhance trading volumes, and lift pricing power. NII Holdings continues to add mobile subscribers profitably and expand penetration rates in Latin America.
A few of our investments did not perform as expected. One example included Sirius Satellite Radio, where the company was unable to sustain subscriber growth at levels we had anticipated. As the investment thesis was not developing as anticipated, this stock was sold for risk control purposes.
Other stocks that detracted from performance that were ultimately sold from the Portfolio included Caremark and Pfizer. Caremark's outlook became clouded following the announced transaction with CVS at no premium. We exited the stock based on concerns regarding the strategic positioning of the PBM business. The halt of Pfizer's Torcetrapib trial removes the company's most exciting pipeline candidate as well as weakens its defensive strategy with regard to its largest drug, Lipitor. The position was sold based on poor visibility into post-Lipitor earnings and a high likelihood of a too expensive acquisition to fill the gap.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The most recent rise in non-farm payrolls (167,000) reinforcing the view that the U.S. economy remains healthy. While we would relish having the dual benefits of both earnings and lower interest rates supporting stock prices, we may have to wait awhile for the later to become a factor. Much of the worry about disappointing retail sales during the holiday season was misplaced. Headlines focused on sales gains being less than last year, but last year was a great year; plus over 8%. This year was up over 6%. Seems like normal business. In any case, we would expect leading companies with well established business models to likely report earnings progress in the year ahead. This would represent a good outcome for investors in the Portfolio.

ING UBS U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of 14.51% compared to the compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index") and the Russell 1000® Index(2), which returned 15.79% and 15.46%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The overall US equity market generated strong returns in 2006. After treading water during the first half of the year, stock prices rallied sharply on the back of strong corporate earnings, a pause in U.S. Federal Reserve Board interest rate hikes, moderating oil prices, and a robust merger and acquisition environment. During the one-year period ended December 31, 2006, large cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 1000® Index, returned 15.46%. In contrast, small cap stocks, as represented by the Russell 2000® Index, gained 18.37% over the same period. This marked the sixth time in the last seven years that small caps outperformed their large cap counterparts. However, excluding the month of January 2006, large caps outperformed during the year. During the last 11 months of the year large-caps returned 12 .31% versus 8.63% for small-caps. This could be a signal that a long anticipated shift in market leadership to large caps may be beginning.
As always, during the year we relied on our bottom-up research process to guide sector allocation and stock selection for the Portfolio. During the fiscal year, overweights in the securities and asset management industry, as well as the electric utilities were beneficial to performance. In terms of individual stocks, financial companies Morgan Stanley and Citigroup, Inc. were the largest contributors to performance during the 12-month period. Oil refining company Marathon Oil Corp. boosted returns given high oil prices during much of the year. Computer software giants Oracle Corp. and Microsoft Corp. were also major contributors to performance. Good stock selection in the software and services industry group and being underweight in the technology sector were also beneficial to performance.
In contrast, from an industry perspective, overweights in medical services and banks detracted from results. Elsewhere, underweights in energy were a drag on performance. Online travel company Expedia was the largest detractor from performance on an individual stock basis. Stocks from a variety of industries also hurt returns, including medical services company UnitedHealth Group, global communications firm Sprint Nextel Corp., computer hardware company Dell, Inc. and biotech firm Genzyme Corp.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The utilities sector has outperformed the S&P 500® Index for three consecutive years, an unprecedented run. This occurred during a time of overall market strength, in a sector that is normally considered defensive. We continue to find utilities attractive. We believe the financial sector also provides us with interesting opportunities and we continue to be overweighted to companies with exposure to the capital markets. While the investment banking cycle in the US is entering the mature phase, this area is attractive, in our opinion, with the most appeal coming from firms with a global reach. We also feel that rail companies continue to provide us with an attractive opportunity, as pricing power is still strong. We believe this is sustainable because the excess capacity that has been in rail industry for decad es is gone. Therefore, in our view, pricing power should remain strong with, even minimal volume growth.

ING UBS U.S. SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by an investment management team co-led by Paul Graham and David Wabnik, Portfolio Managers of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: Since the Portfolio inception on April 28, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares, provided a total return of (2.17)% compared to the Russell 2000® Growth Index, which returned (0.60)% for the period beginning May 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.
Portfolio Specifics: During the period, the primary reason for the Portfolio's underperformance was due to stock selection in the healthcare sector. Specifically, for the period, the names that we held in the biotechnology, healthcare equipment and pharmaceuticals industries substantially underperformed their peers. Our strongest returns during the period resulted from our stock selection in materials and industrials.
With respect to individual security selection, two of the Portfolio's top performing stocks included Ventas, Inc., one of the nation's leading healthcare real estate investment trusts, and RSA Security, Inc., The security division of EMC Corp., which is an expert in information-centric security, offering industry-leading solutions in identity assurance & access control, encryption & key management, compliance and security information management and fraud protection. RSA was formed in September 2006 following EMC Corporation's acquisitions of RSA Security, Inc. and Network Intelligence Corp.
Conversely, two of the Portfolio's worst performing stocks were Technical Olympic USA, Inc., a leading homebuilder and financial services company operating throughout Florida, the mid-atlantic, Texas and the west, and Christopher & Banks Corp., a Minneapolis, Minnesota based specialty retailer of women's apparel.
Within the small cap growth market, top performing industries were metals & mining, real estate management & development, and several consumer staples sub-sectors. The Russell 2000® Growth Index lagged the broader small cap universe, declining 0.60%, while the Russell 2000® Value Index returned 8.50%.
The large differential in performance between growth and value was driven by the strong performance of financial and energy stocks which dominate the Russell 2000® Value Index, and the weak performance of the information technology and healthcare sectors which are more important contributors to the Russel 2000® Growth Index.
These performance differentials, in our opinion, reflected investor preference for companies with above-average dividend yields and cash flows as well as modest earnings risk and low multiples. Additionally, better than expected reported earnings of cyclical growth companies diminished the relative appeal of growth companies.
After last year's brief interlude, we think investors are beginning to refocus on companies with stronger growth fundamentals. This change became evident when the U.S. Federal Reserve Board shifted to a "pause" in its policy of increasing the level of the federal funds rate at mid-year. Since this announcement, growth stocks have modestly outperformed the broader markets.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe the recent favorable performance of growth stocks will continue in 2007. We think that the economy is experiencing a mid-cycle slowdown and the profit cycle has likely peaked. Companies with sustainable earnings growth prospects going forward should, in our opinion, outperform those sectors of the economy that are more cyclical in nature. We believe prospects for stronger relative earnings growth in the information technology and healthcare sectors are likely to bolster performance of the growth indices. In our view, diminishing inflation expectations, combined with a slowing economy, also should widen the price/earnings multiples for the best positioned growth companies.
We enter 2007 with our sector weightings relatively close to the Russell 2000® Growth Index benchmark. We are modestly overweight the energy and industrial sectors and slightly underweight the information technology and financials sectors. Industries where we have an above-average exposure include energy equipment and services, and air freight and logistics, while we are significantly underweight commercial banks and internet software and services.
Although investment performance was subpar during the reporting period, we remain confident in our investment disciplines going forward. Our team remains committed to identifying companies that we believe will generate capital appreciation over the next few years.

ING VAN KAMPEN COMSTOCK PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
The ING Van Kampen Comstock Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital growth and income. The Portfolio is managed by B. Robert Baker, Jason Leder and Kevin Holt, each a Managing Director of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc., d/b/a "Van Kampen" — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares, provided a total return of 15.86% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index(1) and the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(2) ("S&P 500 ® Index"), which returned 22.25% and 15.79%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Generally speaking, large cap value stocks outperformed the broad market. However, leadership within the Russell 1000® Value Index was very narrow during the period, with gains being driven largely by a few large-cap energy stocks and strength in the cyclical, commodity-driven sectors.
The health care, materials and energy sectors were the largest detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index. Within the health care sector, the Portfolio's long-standing emphasis on large cap pharmaceutical stocks was a drag on performance, as investors began to anticipate the Democrats taking control of both the House and Senate in the mid-term elections. The main concern for drug companies is that potential Medicare reform would allow the government to be involved in the negotiation of drug pricing; however, given the president's veto power, actual legislation likely remains in the distant future. Within the materials sector, the Portfolio lacked exposure to those basic materials stocks with a high degree of exposure to the rising demand from China and other developing economies. In the energy sector, compelling valuations remained sparse in our view, and as a result the Portfolio maintained a significant underweight in the sector.
While the Portfolio had few positive contributors at the sector level relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, on an absolute basis, the Portfolio captured gains across several areas. The Portfolio's exposure to media stocks added to results, as select holdings benefited from positive company-specific factors. In the telecommunication services sector, the Portfolio's holdings were boosted by the sector's ongoing merger and acquisition activity and the greater efficiencies of the resulting integrated companies. The Portfolio's financials holdings were also notable positive contributors to total return during the period.
Relative to the S&P 500® Index, the chief contributors to performance were the consumer discretionary, information technology and telecommunication services sectors, while the materials and energy sectors diminished relative results.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We maintain our focus on bottom-up selection of stocks with reasonable valuations relative to our assessment of fair value. The Portfolio's positioning — with its significant underweight in energy and large overweight in large-cap pharmaceuticals — remained largely unchanged throughout the period and portfolio turnover was low. Our long-term perspective affords us the patience to buy and hold some of the Portfolio's more contrarian positions.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

ING VAN KAMPEN EQUITY AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 James A. Gilligan, Managing Director; James O. Roeder and Thomas B. Bastian, Executive Directors; Sergio Marcheli and Vincent E. Vizachero, Vice Presidents, of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc., d/b/a "Van Kampen" — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of 12.40% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index") and the Russell 1000® Value Index, which returned 15.79% and 22.25%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Relative to the S&P 500® Index, the equity portion of the Portfolio was hampered by under performance in the telecommunication services, energy and financials sectors. However, the Portfolio out performed in the materials, consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors, which boosted results relative to the S&P 500® Index. Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Ind ex, the telecommunications sector was the largest drag on performance, primarily due to security selection. The healthcare sector was an area of weakness, primarily due to a surprise negative announcement by a health care equipment and services company early in the year. In addition, the Portfolio's health care sector overweight is largely composed of pharmaceutical stocks, which proved to be a negative influence. An underweight in the energy sector also hurt results. We had been reducing exposure to the sector all year, as the lofty valuations of many energy stocks appear to exceed what we would consider an appropriate balance of risk and return. However, in the consumer discretionary sector, our security selection among retailers and autos served the Portfolio well. The financial services sector also contributed positively to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, particularly in diversified financial companies that had strong exposure to the capital markets. In the utilities sector, the Portfolio owned some of the sector's best performing stocks, which offset the negative impact of an underweight in the sector.
The bond portfolio slightly underperformed the Lehman Brothers U.S. Government/Credit Index for the year. We kept the Portfolio's overall duration (a measure of interest rate sensitivity) well below that of the Lehman Brothers U.S. Government/Credit Index during the period. This posture was beneficial as interest rates rose across the market, but detracted from relative performance during periods of sharp yield increases. An underweight to the agency sector detracted slightly from relative performance as this sector posted solid returns. Given aggressive bond valuations at the start of the year and concerns regarding increasing leverage trends, we chose to maintain a defensive posture in credit over the course of 2006. This positioning had a small negative effect on the performance of the Portfolio relative to the Lehman Brothers U.S. Government/Credit Index over the period, as spreads (or the extra return required by investors for assuming credit risk) generally narrowed. However, good security selection helped offset a portion of this weakness.
The Portfolio's convertible securities, in aggregate, were neither a significant contributor nor detractor from performance during the period. However, we did increase the Portfolio's exposure to convertible securities over the course of the fiscal year, as attractive new issuance provided some opportunities that fit our investment parameters.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to 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.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING Van Kampen Equity and Income 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 Adviser and/or other service providers, which have the effect of increasing total return. Had all fees and expenses been considered, the total returns would have been lower.
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) 262-3862 to get performance through the most recent month end.
This report contains statements that may be "forward-looking" statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the "forward-looking" statements.
The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period as stated on the cover. The portfolio manager's views are subject to change at any time based on marked and other conditions.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change daily.
(1) The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performances of the securities of approximately 500 of the largest companies in the U.S
(2) Since inception performance for the indices is shown from December 1, 2001.
(3) The Russell 1000® Value Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Rusell 1000® companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower than forecasted growth values.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio 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, 2006 to December 31, 2006. The Portfolios' expenses are shown without the imposition of any charges which are, or may be, imposed under your annuity contract. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, "Actual Portfolio 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 Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio'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 Portfolio and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual 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, 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.

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 custodi al 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 ("NAV") 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 NAV 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.
Directed Services, LLC(1) ("DSL" or "Investment Adviser"), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser to the Portfolios. DSL has engaged ING Investment Management Co. ("ING IM''), a Connecticut corporation, to serve as the sub-adviser to Fundamental Research. ING Funds Distributor, LLC (2) ("IFD" or the "Distributor") serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios. DSL, ING IM and IFD 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 mana gement services to both individuals and institutional investors.
(1) Prior to December 31, 2006, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ILIAC") served as the investment adviser to the Portfolios. On November 9, 2006, the Board approved the consolidation of investment advisory functions of ILIAC into DSL resulting in the assumption by DSL of the advisory agreement between the Company and ILIAC.
(2) Prior to December 31, 2006, ING Financial Advisers, LLC ("IFA") served as distributor to the Portfolios. On November 9, 2006, the Board approved the consolidation of distributor functions of IFA into IFD resulting in the assumption by IFD of the distribution agreement between the Company and IFA.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
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 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 a Portfolio closes but before the time that the Portfolio's NAV is calculated, such event may cause the closing price on the foreign exchange to not represen t a readily available reliable market value quotation for such securities at the time the Portfolio determines its NAV. In such a case, a Portfolio will use the fair value of such securities as determined under a Portfolio's valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require a 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 accurate ly reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of such markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that a 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, a 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 a Portfolio to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quo tations at the time a 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.
160
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 transac tions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios' books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments, which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.
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 subchapter 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.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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, be ing 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 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 inv esting 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 r estricted 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. Certain Portfolios 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. Columbia Small Cap Value II, Fundamental Research, Goldman Sachs® Structured Equity, Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth, Lord Abbett U.S. Government Securities, Oppenheimer Global, Oppenheimer Strategic Income, PIMCO Total Return, Pioneer High Yield, Templeton Foreign Equity, Thornburg Value, UBS U.S. Small Cap 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 repurchas e 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
162
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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. Thornburg Value 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 pu rchase 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 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 Asset and Baron Small Cap Growth, may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices. Goldman Sachs® Structured 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 i nitial 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, a 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.
P. Reverse Repurchase Agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the sale of a security, with an agreement to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. Whether such a transaction produces a gain for a Portfolio depends upon the costs of the agreements and the income and gains of the securities purchased with the proceeds received from the sale of the security. If the income and gains on the securities purchased fail to exceed the costs, NAV will decline faster than otherwise would be the case. Reverse repurchase agreements, as a leveraging technique, may increase a Portfolio's yield; however, such transactions also increase a Portfolio's risk to capital and may result in a shareholder's loss of principal.
Q. Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — PIMCO Total Return invested in "inverse floaters" which are fixed income instruments with interest rates that vary with short term interest rate indices in such a way that the yield is inversely related to the market rate of interest. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 ("FAS 140"), with respect to certain types of inverse floaters which entail a transaction in which the Portfolio sells a municipal
163
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
bond to a trust to create the inverse floater, requires that the transaction be characterized as financing instead of a sale for financial statement presentations purposes. At December 31, 2006, PIMCO Total Return investments of these types of inverse floaters were as follows:
Trust | | Value of Underlying Municipal Bond | | Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | Current Rate | |
New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority, 5.000%, due 06/15/38 | | $ | 632,952 | | | $ | 299,562 | | | | 3.84 | % | |
Orange County Sanitation District, 5.000%, due 02/01/33 | | | 943,596 | | | | 449,469 | | | | 4.13 | % | |
R. Sale Commitments: Sale commitments involve commitments where the unit price and the estimated principal amount are established upon entering into the contract, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. A Portfolio will enter into sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a sale commitment is outstanding, the Portfolio will maintain, in a segregated account, cash or marketable securities in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. Unsettled sale commitments are valued at current market value of the underlying securities. If the sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If the Portfolio delivers securities under the commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities, based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
S. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

NOTE 13 — 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 14 — 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
179
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 14 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)
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, 2006, the following Portfolios had securities on loan with the following market values:

Under U.S. federal income tax law, as specified in the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and U.S. Treasury regulations, the Portfolios must meet various technical requirements relating to fund administration, portfolio investments, and "eligible investors" in the Portfolios. Complying with these requirements is a condition for beneficial tax treatment of certain insurance products that offer the Portfolios as investment options. The failure of the Portfolios to meet any of these complex requirements could result in an excise tax, administrative penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, potential liability to insurers whose products include the Portfolios as investment options, and unanticipated costs associated with remedying a failure. We are aware that an affiliate of the Portfolios' investment adviser may have failed to limit the availability of American Century Large Company Value, American Century Small-Mid Cap Value, Baron Sm all Cap Growth, Davis Venture Value, JPMorgan MidCap Value, Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth, Oppenheimer Strategic Income, PIMCO Total Return, T. Rowe Price Growth Equity, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth and Van Kampen Comstock for investment to "eligible investors" under the Code. The legal and tax consequences, if any, of this are currently under active review, but we do not believe that it is probable that any liability has been incurred by the Portfolios. Although it is not probable that any liability has been incurred, ING has agreed to indemnify any affected Portfolio from and against economic consequences of any such failure incurred either (i) directly or (ii) by virtue of any indemnification by the Portfolios resulting from such failure.
NOTE 17 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 11, 2007, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize American Century Select into ING BlackRock Large Cap Growth Portfolio. If shareholder approval is obtained, it is expected that the reorganization will take place on or about April 28, 2007.

NOTE 18 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained upon challenge by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early application permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. However, acknowledging the unique issues that FIN 48 presents for investment companies that calculate NAVs, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has indicated that they would not object if a fund implements FIN 48 in its NAV calculation as late as its last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. For calendar-year open-end funds, this would be no later than their June 29, 2007 NAV and the effects of FIN 48 would be reflected in the funds' semi-annual financial statements contained in their Form N-CSR filing. At adoption, companies must adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management is currently analyzing the tax positions of the Portfolios. To date, this analysis reflects an uncertain tax position in American Century Large Company Value, American Century Small-Mid Cap Value, Baron Small Cap Growth, Davis Venture Value, JPMorgan MidCap Value, Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth, Oppenheimer Strategic Income, PIMCO Total Return, T. Rowe Price Growth Equity, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth and Van Kampen Comstock that has the potential to result in a lia bility upon adoption of FIN 48. Management of the Portfolios is presently determining whether the tax benefits recorded by these Portfolios are more likely-than-not to be sustained if challenged by taxing authorities. To the extent that, in Management's judgment, the more likely-than-not threshold cannot be achieved, ING has agreed to indemnify the Portfolios and will bear any taxes and other costs related to this position that may occur. As a result, in Management's opinion, the adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Portfolios.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("SFAS No. 157"), "Fair Value Measurements". The new accounting statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, management of the Portfolios is currently assessing the impact, if any, that will result from adopting SFAS No. 157.
NOTE 19 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
In 2004, DSL (formerly known as, ILIAC) reported to the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the "Boards") of the ING Funds that, like many U.S. financial services companies, DSL 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. DSL has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, DSL reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep, including DSL (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
183
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 19 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
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.
DSL has advised the Boards that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING's acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. DSL 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, DSL has advised the Boards 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, DSL reported to the Boards 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.) 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 Company of America, and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York, each filed with 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 Boards are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.
DSL reported to the Boards that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, DSL advised the Boards that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING's acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, DSL 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
184

NOTE 19 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
Commission. DSL reported to the Boards that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business.
• ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees' obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements.
• 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.
Other Regulatory Matters
The New York Attorney General (the "NYAG") and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices (including suitability); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); fund selection for investment products and brokerage sales; and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. ING has received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and is cooperating fully with each request. In connection with one such investigation, affiliates of ING Investments were named in a petition for relief and cease and desist order filed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation (the "NH Bureau") concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.
On October 10, 2006, an affiliate of DSL entered into an assurance of discontinuance with the NYAG (the "NYAG Agreement") regarding the endorsement of its products by the New York State United Teachers Union Member Benefits Trust ("NYSUT") and the sale of their products to NYSUT members. Under the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NYAG's findings, will distribute $30 million to NYSUT members, and/or former NYSUT members, who participated in the NYSUT-endorsed products at any point between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2006. The affiliate also agreed with the NYAG's office to develop a one-page disclosure that will further improve transparency and disclosure regarding retirement product fees (the "One-Page Disclosure"). Pursuant to the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate has agreed for a five year period to provide its retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure .
In addition, on the same date, these affiliates of DSL entered into a consent agreement with the NH Bureau (the "NH Agreement") to resolve this petition for relief and cease and desist order. Under the terms of the NH Agreement, these affiliates of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NH Bureau's claims, have agreed to pay $3 million to resolve the matter, and for a five year period to provide their retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure described above.
Other federal and state regulators could initiate similar actions in this or other areas of ING's businesses.
These regulatory initiatives may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which ING is engaged.
In light of these and other developments, ING continuously reviews whether modifications to its business practices are appropriate.
At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)
Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
Section 15(c) of 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. ("IPI"), 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 9, 2006 the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, considered whether to renew the investment advisory contracts (the "Advisory Contracts") between Directed Services, LLC (formerly, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (the "Adviser") and the Portfolios and the sub-advisory contracts ("Sub-Advisory Contracts") with the sub-adviser to each Portfolio (the "Sub-Adviser s").
The Independent Directors also held separate meetings on October 12, 2006 and November 7, 2006 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 9, 2006 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 Preston Gates Ellis LLP ("K&L Gates"), 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 9, 2006 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 one-year period ending November 30, 2007. 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 Renewal and Approval Process
In 2003, the Independent Directors determined to undertake steps to further enhance the process under which the Board determines whether to renew existing advisory and sub-advisory arrangements for the funds in the ING Funds complex, including IPI's existing Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts, and to approve new advisory and sub-advisory arrangements. Among these measures, the Board: retained the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Independent Directors in working with the personnel employed by the Adviser or its affiliates who administer the Portfolios ("Management") to identify the types of information presented to the Board to inform its deliberations with respect to advisory and sub-advisory relationships; established the format in which the information requested by the Board is provided to the Board; and determined the process for reviewing such information in connection with the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contract 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 the foregoing approval and renewal process was implemented, the Board regularly has reviewed and refined the process. In addition, the Board established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees. The type and format of the information provided to the Board or its counsel to inform its approval and 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 Independent Directors, and sets out a written blueprint under which the Independent Directors request 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 Independent Directors based on the Methodology
305
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Guide through "Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables" or "FACT" sheets prior to the Independent Directors' review of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts. In 2005, the Independent Directors retained an independent firm to verify and test the accuracy of certain of this information for a representative sample of funds in the ING Funds complex. The Independent Directors have determined to conduct such testing periodically.
As part of a regular on-going process, the Board's Contracts Committee recommends or considers recommendations from Management for refinements and other changes to the Methodology Guide and other aspects of the 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 Portfolio's relevant benchmark and/or peer group of investment companies.
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, 2007. 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, 2007, the Independent Directors received and evaluated such information as they deemed necessary regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolios by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. This included information regarding the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to the Portfolios provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished for the November 9, 2006 Board meeting, which was held specifically to consider contracts renewals for the period ending November 30, 2007. In addition, the Board's Independent Directors also held meetings on October 12 and November 7, prior to the November 9, 2006 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 and/or to K&L Gates prior to the November 2006 Board meeting included the following items: (1) FACT sheets for each Portfolio that provided 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 from the Advisers and Sub-Advisers to a detailed series of questions posed by K&L Gates; (4) copies of each form of Advisory Contract and Sub-Advisory Contract; (5) copies of the Forms ADV for the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser to the Portfolios; (6) financial statements for the Adviser and each Sub-Adv iser; (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, Class I shares were used for purposes of certain comparisons to the funds in its 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 Contracts, the Board was mindful of the "manager-of-managers" platform of the ING Funds. The Board also considered the techniques that the Adviser developed, at the Board's direction, to screen and perform due diligence on Sub-Advisers that are recommended to the Board to manage the Portfolios' portfolios. The Board noted the resources that the Adviser has committed to the Board and its Investment Review Committees to assist the Board and members of the Committees with their assessment of the investment performance of the Portfolios on an ongoing basis throughout the year. 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.
306
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
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 Review Committees, has taken to advocate or recommend, when it believed appropriate, changes intended to assist in improving the performance of the Portfolios. These changes have historically included modifications in personnel responsible for managing a Portfolio and/or changing 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, without a sales charge, between the same class of shares of such Portfolios or among Portfolios available on a product platform, and the wide variety in the types of Portfolios 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 ING Funds through re-negotiated arrangements with the ING Funds' service providers. In addition, the Board considered the extensive efforts of the Adviser and expense it incurred in recent years to help make the ING Funds complex more efficient by reducing the number of funds through combinations of similar funds.
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 considered reports from the Portfolios' Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser and procedures reasonably designed by them 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 CCO's annual and periodic reports w ith respect to service provider compliance and his recommendations regarding service providers' compliance programs. In this regard, the Board also considered the policies and procedures developed by the CCO in consultation with the Board's Compliance Committee that guide the CCO'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. The Board also considered the adequacy of the resources committed to the Portfolios (and other relevant funds in the ING Funds complex) by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, and whether those resources are commensurate with the needs of the 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 Portfolio 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 Fund 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
307
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
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 fees that resulted in savings to the Portfolios. For a Portfolio 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.
In evaluating economies of scale, the Independent Directors considered a management report presented to them and also considered an evaluation and analysis presented to them on November 8, 2006 by an independent consultant regarding fee breakpoint arrangements.
Information about Services to Other Clients
The Board requested, and if received 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/or 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. The Board also noted that the fee rates charged to the Portfolios and similar institutional clients may differ materially due to the different services and additional regulatory overlay associated with registered investment companies, such as the Portfolios .
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, 2007.
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
308
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
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 review of advisory fee rates, 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; 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 have requested these adjustments primarily on the basis of: (a) a Portfolio's performance, as compared to its Selected Peer Group; (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 incentives 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 2006 meeting in relation to renewing each Portfolio's current Advisory Contract and its Sub-Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2007. 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, 2006: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark for all periods presented, except it outperformed its Morningstar category median for the most recent calendar quarter; and (2) the Portfolio is in the second quintile of its Morningstar category for the most recent calendar quarter, in the third quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date period, in the fourth quintile of its Morningstar category for the one-year period, and in the fifth (lowest) quintile of its Morningstar category for the three-year period
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) the Sub-Adviser assumed management of the Portfolio in April 2005; (2) Management's view that the investment process of the Sub-Adviser will result in reasonable longer-term performance; and (3) Management's representation that it will continue to monitor, and the Board or its Investment Review Committee will periodically review, the Portfolio's performance.
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
309
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) it is reasonable to permit the Sub-Adviser to continue to manage the Portfolio to meet Management's expectation of more favorable 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, 2007. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING American Century Select Portfolio

ING Columbia Small Cap Value II Portfolio
Approval of New Advisory and Sub-Advisory Arrangements
Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 mandates that, when a Portfolio enters into new advisory or sub-advisory arrangement the Board, including a majority of the Non-Interested Directors, must approve those new arrangements. Therefore, in order for a new series of IPI to be launched, the Board must approve an Advisory Contract and, if applicable, Sub-Advisory Contract for that series prior to the commencement of its operations. At a meeting held on January 19, 2006, the Board considered the approval of a new Advisory Contract and Sub-Advisory contract with Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ("Columbia") for ING Columbia Small Cap Value II Portfolio ("Columbia Small Cap Value"), a recently-launched series of IPI.
The materials provided to the Board and/or its legal counsel in support of the proposed advisory and sub-advisory arrangements included the following: (1) a memorandum presenting Management's rationale for requesting the launch of Columbia Small Cap Value that discusses, among other things, the performance of Columbia in managing a fund similar to the Portfolio, with such performance being compared against the Portfolio's Morningstar Category average and proposed primary benchmark; (2) information regarding the Portfolio's proposed investment objective and strategies and anticipated portfolio characteristics; (3) FACT sheets for the Portfolio that compare the performance of a similarly-managed fund managed by Columbia against that of the Portfolio's Selected Peer Group and its Morningstar category median; (4) responses from the Adviser and Columbia to questions posed by K&L Gates, independent legal counsel, on behalf of the Non-Intereste d Directors; (5) supporting documentation, including copies of the forms of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for Columbia Small Cap Value; and (6) 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 the Adviser in the context of the Adviser's oversight of other sub-advisers managing Funds in the ING Funds complex.
The Board considered that Columbia Small Cap Value would be subject to the standard policies and procedures of IPI previously approved by the Board for other Series of IPI and approved in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board also noted that, in managing Columbia Small Cap Value, the Adviser would be subject to procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that had been previously approved by the Board in connection with other Funds. In the case of Columbia, the Board considered, among other things, a preliminary report from the CCO.
The Board's consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Contract with the Adviser on behalf of Columbia Small Cap Value took into account several factors including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to Columbia Small Cap Value under the proposed Advisory Contract; (2) the Adviser's experience as a manager-of-managers overseeing sub-advisers to other Funds within the ING Funds complex; (3) the Adviser's strength and reputation within the industry; (4) the fairness of the compensation under the proposed Advisory Contract in light of the services to be provided to Columbia Small Cap Value and taking into account the sub-advisory fees payable by the Adviser to Columbia; (5) the economies of scale benefits to the Fund and its shareholders from breakpoint discounts applicable to the Fund's advisory fee, which result in lower fees at higher asset levels, taking into acco unt that it would take time to reach these discounts after the Portfolio is launched; (6) the pricing structure (including the estimated expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of Columbia Small Cap Value, as compared to other similarly-managed funds in its Selected Peer Group, including Management's analysis that: (a) the proposed management fee (inclusive of a 0.10% administration fee) is above the median and average management fees of the funds in Columbia Small Cap Value's Selected Peer Group; and (b) the estimated expense ratio for Columbia Small Cap Value is above the median and average expense ratios of the funds in Columbia Small Cap Value's Selected Peer Group; (7) the projected profitability of the Adviser when sub-advisory fees payable by the Adviser to Columbia are taken into account; (8) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of the Adviser, including its management team's expertise in the management of
323
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
other Funds; (9) the Adviser's compliance capabilities, as demonstrated by, among other things, its policies and procedures designed to prevent violations of the Federal securities laws, which had previously been approved by the Board in connection with their oversight of other Funds in the ING Funds complex; (10) the information that had been provided by the Adviser at regular Board meetings, with respect to its capabilities as a manager-of-managers; and (11) "fall-out benefits" to the Adviser and its affiliates that were anticipated to arise from the Adviser's management of Columbia Small Cap Value. In analyzing the pricing structure of Columbia Small Cap Value, the Board took into account Management's representations that the level of the Portfolio's management fee and expense ratio reflects that availability of small capitalization capacity in the current market is increasingly scarce, leading to higher sub-advisory fees for small capita lization investment mandates.
In reviewing the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract with Columbia, the Board considered a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the Adviser's view of Columbia's capabilities in managing in the strategy to be employed by Columbia Small Cap Value; (2) Columbia's strength and reputation in the industry; (3) the nature and quality of the services to be provided by Columbia under the proposed Sub-Advisory Contract; (4) the performance of Columbia's proprietary fund managed in the same style in which the Portfolio would be managed, compared to the Portfolio's Morningstar Category average, Morningstar Category median, its proposed primary benchmark and the performance of the funds in Columbia Small Cap Value's Selected Peer Group; (5) the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of Columbia 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 by and the projected profitability of Columbia as Columbia Small Cap Value's sub-adviser and taking into account the ability of Columbia to deliver small-capitalization investment management expertise in a market where access to small-capacity advisory services is increasingly scarce; (7) the costs for the services to be provided by Columbia; (8) Columbia's operations and compliance program, including its policies and procedures intended to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws, which were under review and evaluation by ING IPI's Chief Compliance Officer; (9) Columbia's financial condition; (10) the appropriateness of the selection of Columbia in light of Columbia Small Cap Value's investment objective and prospective investor base; and (11) Columbia's Code of Ethics, which has previously been approved for other ING Funds, presented and approved at the January 2006 meeting, and related procedures for complying with that Code.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) Columbia Small Cap Value's proposed management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) Columbia Small Cap Value's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to Columbia is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (4) the Adviser maintains an appropriate compliance program, with this conclusion based upon the Board's previous and ongoing review of the compliance program; and (5) Columbia maintains an appropriate compliance program, with this conclusion based upon, among other things, a representation from IPI's Chief Compliance Officer that, based upon his analysis to date, Columbia's compliance policies and procedures are reasonably designed to assure compliance with the Federal securities laws, and his represent ation that if any compliance issues were identified, he would inform the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for Columbia Small Cap Value. During its deliberations, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
In its recent meetings, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) ceased what was a two-year trend. That trend — a string of 17 consecutive interest rate hikes that ended last fall — was seen by many analysts as a sign that the Fed was concerned about containing inflation.
Now, the Fed is neither raising nor lowering interest rates, which puts us in the midst of what economists refer to as a “plateau.” Historically, there have been six similar plateaus since 1982 and during four of those periods the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) (“S&P 500® Index”) rose significantly.
Of course, the Fed’s actions impact economies and market performance around the world. For instance, the current interest rate climate has been cited as one reason for a decline in the value of the dollar. Last year, that drop in the dollar meant that international stocks — which are often determined in foreign currencies — generally experienced strong performance as foreign currencies climbed and world stock markets continued to produce strong results.
Meanwhile, here at home, 2006 was an interesting year for equity investors. In May of 2006, the S&P 500® Index hit a five-year high followed by a market correction and several months of non-directional returns. A strong rally occurred in the second half of the year driven in part by the aforementioned dollar decline and the interest rate plateau. The good news is many economists believe that these conditions may continue in the months to come.
At ING Funds, we are committed to providing you, the investor, with an array of investment choices that enables you to build a diversified portfolio across a variety of asset classes. We do so, with a view that the globalization of markets is an initial consideration in the products we offer.
We take the confidence you place in us with your investments very seriously — everyone in our firm is committed to renewing this trust each and every day.

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
In our semi-annual report, we described how the feast of the first quarter had turned to famine in the second quarter for global equity markets on concerns that rising interest rates would freeze out global growth. Indeed as late as June 27, 2006, the year-to-date return on the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World IndexSM(1) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends had been precisely 0%. However, the second half of the year ended December 31, 2006, was much healthier and the same index powered ahead 12.3% and for the year ended December 31, 2006, returned 20.07%. The return to dollar based investors was a little better at 13.2%, as late in the year a slowing economy and hints that central banks would be diversifying out of dollars weighed on that currency. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the dollar fell 3.1% against the euro and 5.6% against the pound, but gained 4.1% on the yen due to stumbling growth and miniscule interest rates in Japan. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the dollar fell 10.6% against the euro and 12.4% against the pound, but gained 1.3% against the yen.
As the first half of 2006 ended, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) had just raised the federal funds rate for the seventeenth time since June 2004, to 5.25%. The relatively mild accompanying language led many in the fixed income market to hope that the tightening cycle was now over. Not everyone believed it, especially when new Middle East conflict pushed the price of oil to another record on July 14, 2006. But data, especially on housing, had mostly pointed to cooling demand and a tame employment report on August 4, 2006 probably decided the matter. Four days later the FOMC met and left rates unchanged. The booming housing market had been a powerful driver of growth in recent years through new construction and demand created by mortgage loan refinancing. This boom was deteriorating appreciably with housing prices and the key new building permits measure falling sharply. Only in the last few days of 2006 did the slump show some signs of bottoming out with unexpectedly good new and existing home sales figures reported, along with rebounding consumer confidence. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond (“LBAB”) Index(2) of investment grade bonds gained 5.09% and for the year ended December 31, 2006 it gained 4.33%. The most important dynamic was the broad yield curve inversion, suggestive of an expected fall in interest rates and a further economic slow down. The ten-year Treasury yield fell 43 basis points (0.43%) to 4.71%, while the yield on the three-month Bill rose by 3 basis points (0.03%) to 4.89%. Since mid-August, with the exception of two days, bond investors had been prepared to lend money to the government for ten years at a lower interest rate than for three months.
Faced with fading business activity, as the key housing engine seized up, and a yield curve inverted to the point of recession according to some commentators, investors in U.S. equities must have been in the mood to sell. Not so fast. Those investors saw things differently and indeed the apparent “disagreement” between the bond market and global stock markets was a well discussed feature of the second half of the year. For one thing, the oil price, having hit its record, fell back, as surly calm returned to the Middle East, as the summer driving and hurricane seasons came and went and as winter got off to a mild start in the key North East region. The price of oil averaged 22% less in the fourth quarter than at its peak, boosting consumers’ spending power and confidence. And if longer-term interest rates were falling then stocks looked more attractive as bonds provided less competition and the present value of future corporate profits rose. Speaking of which, Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500®”) Index(3) companies duly reported their 13th straight double-digit quarterly percentage earnings gain. Gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth may have slowed, but the share of corporate profits, reported at 12.4%, was the highest since the 1950’s. The next merger or acquisition to get investors in the mood never seemed far away. Five of them were even announced in one day on November 6, 2006, sending markets up about 1%. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the S&P 500® Index, including dividends, rose 12.7% and for the year ended December 31, 2006, the S&P 500® Index, including dividends, rose 15.8%. All but 30 basis points (0.30%) of the gain came after August 8, 2006, making six-year highs as the year ended.
International markets, based on MSCI local currency indices, as in the U.S., finished near their best levels for the year. In Japan the market advanced 8.7%, in 2006, after a late surge. The long awaited increase in interest rates from 0.0% to 0.25% took place in July just as the economic recovery was losing impetus. Third quarter growth was estimated at only 0.8% and generated by exports and capital spending alone. Consumer spending was lagging despite low

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
unemployment and almost flat prices, yet business confidence remained high and profit growth healthy. Elsewhere, Asian markets ex Japan rose 28.2% in 2006, but with wide disparities, ranging from -2.0% in Thailand to 83.4% in China. In Thailand the uncertainty caused by a military coup was compounded when the junta imposed exchange controls to hold back the strong baht, only to rescind them the next day. China’s market soared in surely speculative excess, and in the absence of attractive alternatives, as investors sought a piece of the world’s fourth largest economy. By the end of 2006 the Chinese market had become the third biggest emerging market after South Korea and Taiwan. European ex UK markets surged 16.1%, in 2006. The Eurozone’s GDP growth had recorded its best first half of a year since 2000, 1.7%, and the lowest unemployment rate, 7.8%, since the start of the Eurozone itself. But as the second half of 2006, wore on there were signs that the best news was behind it and the third quarter’s annualized growth fell to 2.0%. Business confidence, however, stayed buoyant and cheered by extensive merger and acquisition activity despite headwinds in the form of a strengthening euro, a hawkish European Central Bank that raised rates three times and the looming rise in German sales tax. UK equities added 8.6% in the six months ended December 31, 2006. The Bank of England raised rates twice as GDP growth accelerated to 2.9% year over year, inflation climbed above target and house prices, an important demand generator, continued their recovery with average prices up more than 10% in 2006. Again, however, it was widespread, large scale mergers and acquisitions energizing the market.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Portfolio expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio 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, 2006, to December 31, 2006. The Portfolios’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any charges which are, or may be, imposed under your annuity contract. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual 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 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 mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Shareholders and Board of Directors
ING Partners, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of ING Solution Income Portfolio, ING Solution 2015 Portfolio, ING Solution 2025 Portfolio, ING Solution 2035 Portfolio, and ING Solution 2045 Portfolio, each a series of ING Partners, Inc., as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2006, and for the period from April 29, 2005 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2005. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying funds. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned portfolios as of December 31, 2006, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. A predecessor of Directed Services, LLC(1) (“DSL” or the “Investment Adviser”) ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) created ING Partners, Inc. (the “Fund”) to serve as an investment option underlying variable insurance products offered by the Investment Adviser and its insurance company affiliates. The Fund is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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, each of which has its own investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Fund currently consists of thirty-nine Portfolios. The five Portfolios 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: Solution Income — 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 four 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.
| |
(1) | Prior to December 31, 2006, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) served as the investment adviser to the Portfolios. On November 9, 2006, the Board approved the consolidation of investment advisory functions of ILIAC into DSL resulting in the assumption by DSL of the advisory agreement between the Fund and ILIAC. |
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 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 the 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 for investment companies. |
25
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| |
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. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
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 Underlying Fund in the event the Underlying Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral. |
|
G. | Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. |
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT ADVISER 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 each Portfolio’s average daily net assets during the month.
ING Investment Management Co. (the “Consultant”) is a consultant to the Investment Adviser. DSL pays the Consultant a consulting fee of 0.03% of the first $500 million, 0.025% of the next $500 million, 0.02% of the next $1 billion and 0.01% of amounts over $2 billion based on each Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Both the Investment Adviser and the Consultant are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of 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
26

assumes all ordinary recurring direct costs of the Portfolios, such as custodian fees, director 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 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Class ADV and Class T of the Portfolios have adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”), whereby ING Funds Distributor, LLC(1) (the “Distributor” or “IFD”), 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 to IFD 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%. The expense waiver will continue through at least May 1, 2008.
The Fund has also adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (“Service Plan”) for the Classes 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 Classes 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 to IFD at an annual rate of 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to its Classes ADV, S and T shares.
| |
(1) | Prior to December 31, 2006, ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) served as distributor to the Portfolios. On November 9, 2006, the Board approved the consolidation of distributor functions of IFA into IFD resulting in the assumption by IFD of the distribution agreement between the Company and IFA. |
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

NOTE 10 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND OTHER TAX MATTERS
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, 2006:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Undistributed | | |
| | Net Investment | | Accumulated |
| | Income On | | Net Realized |

Dividends paid by the Portfolios from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
The Portfolios paid no dividends or distributions during the year ended December 31, 2005. The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2006 was as follows:

Under U.S. federal income tax law, as specified in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and U.S. Treasury regulations, the Portfolios must meet various technical requirements relating to fund administration, portfolio investments, and “eligible investors” in the Portfolios. Complying with these requirements is a condition for beneficial tax treatment of certain insurance products that offer the Portfolios as investment options. The failure of the Portfolios to meet any of these complex requirements could result in an excise tax, administrative penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, potential liability to insurers whose products include the Portfolios as investment options, and unanticipated costs associated with remedying a failure. We are aware that an affiliate of the Portfolios’ investment adviser may have failed to limit the availability of Solution 2025 and Solution 2035 for investment to “eligible investors” under the Code. The legal and tax consequences, if any, of this are currently under active review, but we do not believe that it is probable that any liability has been incurred by the Portfolios. Although it is not probable that any liability has been incurred, ING has agreed to indemnify any affected Portfolio from and against economic consequences of any such failure incurred either (i) directly or (ii) by virtue of any indemnification by the Portfolios resulting from such failure.
NOTE 11 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon challenge by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 11 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
after December 15, 2006, with early application permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. However, acknowledging the unique issues that FIN 48 presents for investment companies that calculate NAVs, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has indicated that they would not object if a fund implements FIN 48 in its NAV calculation as late as its last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. For calendar-year open-end funds, this would be no later than their June 29, 2007 NAV and the effects of FIN 48 would be reflected in the funds’ semi-annual financial statements contained in their Form N-CSR filing. At adoption, companies must adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management is currently analyzing the tax positions of the Portfolios. To date, this analysis reflects an uncertain tax position in Solution 2025 and Solution 2035 that has the potential to result in a liability upon adoption of FIN 48. Management of the Portfolios is presently determining whether the tax benefits recorded by these Portfolios are more likely-than-not to be sustained if challenged by taxing authorities. To the extent that, in Management’s judgment, the more likely-than-not threshold cannot be achieved, ING has agreed to indemnify the Portfolios and will bear any taxes and other costs related to this position that may occur. As a result, in Management’s opinion, the adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Portfolios.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” The new accounting statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, management of the Portfolios is currently assessing the impact, if any, that will result from adopting SFAS No. 157.
NOTE 12 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
In 2004, DSL (formerly, known as ILIAC) 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. DSL has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, DSL reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep, including DSL (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 DSL 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 Boards.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 12 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
DSL has advised the Boards that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. DSL 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, DSL has advised the Boards 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 National Association of Securities Dealers (“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 DSL reported to the Boards 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.) 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 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 Boards are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.
DSL reported to the Boards that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Boards that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, DSL reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.
| |
• | ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. ING Investments reported to the Board that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 12 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
| |
• | 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. |
Other Regulatory Matters
The New York Attorney General (the ���NYAG”) and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices (including suitability); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); fund selection for investment products and brokerage sales; and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. ING has received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and is cooperating fully with each request. In connection with one such investigation, affiliates of DSL were named in a petition for relief and cease and desist order filed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation (the “NH Bureau”) concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.
On October 10, 2006, an affiliate of DSL entered into an assurance of discontinuance with the NYAG (the “NYAG Agreement”) regarding the endorsement of its products by the New York State United Teachers Union Member Benefits Trust (“NYSUT”) and the sale of their products to NYSUT members. Under the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate of DSL, without admitting or denying the NYAG’s findings, will distribute $30 million to NYSUT members, and/or former NYSUT members, who participated in the NYSUT-endorsed products at any point between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2006. The affiliate also agreed with the NYAG’s office to develop a one-page disclosure that will further improve transparency and disclosure regarding retirement product fees (the “One-Page Disclosure”). Pursuant to the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate has agreed for a five year period to provide its retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure.
In addition, on the same date, these affiliates of DSL entered into a consent agreement with the NH Bureau (the “NH Agreement”) to resolve this petition for relief and cease and desist order. Under the terms of the NH Agreement, these affiliates of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NH Bureau’s claims, have agreed to pay $3 million to resolve the matter, and for a five year period to provide their retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure described above. Other federal and state regulators could initiate similar actions in this or other areas of ING’s businesses.
In light of these and other developments, ING continuously reviews whether modifications to its business practices are appropriate.
At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)
Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act provides that, after an initial period, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Contract”) between Directed Services, LLC (formerly, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (the “Adviser”) and IPI, on behalf of the Portfolios, 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 IPI, 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 9, 2006 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 12, 2006 and November 7, 2006 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 9, 2006 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 Preston Gates Ellis LLP (“K&L Gates”), 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 9, 2006 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 one-year period ending November 30, 2007. 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 Renewal and Approval Process
In 2003, the Independent Directors determined to undertake steps to further enhance the process under which the Board determines whether to renew existing advisory arrangements for the funds in the ING Funds complex, including the Portfolios’ existing Advisory Contract, and to approve new advisory arrangements. Among these measures, the Board: retained the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Independent Directors in working with the personnel employed by the Adviser or its affiliates who administer the Portfolios (“Management”) to identify the types of information presented to the Board to inform its deliberations with respect to advisory relationships; established the format in which the information requested by the Board is provided to the Board; and determined the process for reviewing such information in connection with the Advisory 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 the foregoing approval and renewal process was implemented, the Board regularly has reviewed and refined the process. In addition, the Board established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees, including the Domestic Equity Funds Investment Review Committee (the “I/B/F IRC”). The type and format of the information provided to the Board or its counsel to inform its approval and 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 Independent Directors, and sets out a written blueprint under which the Independent Directors request 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 Independent Directors based on the Methodology Guide through “Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables” or “FACT” sheets prior to the Independent Directors’ review of advisory agreement. In 2005, the Independent Directors retained an independent firm to verify and test the accuracy of certain of this information for a representative sample of funds in
47
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
the ING Funds complex. The Independent Directors have determined to conduct such testing periodically.
As part of a regular on-going process, the Board’s Contracts Committee recommends or considers recommendations from Management for refinements and other changes to the Methodology Guide and other aspects of the review process, and the I/B/F IRC reviews benchmarks used to assess the performance of each Portfolio. The I/B/F IRC also meets regularly with the Adviser.
The Board employed its process for reviewing contracts when considering the renewals of the Advisory Contract that would be effective through November 30, 2007. 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, 2007, the Independent Directors received and evaluated such information as they deemed necessary regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolios by the Adviser. This included information regarding the Adviser provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished for the November 9, 2006 Board meeting, which was held specifically to consider contracts renewals for the period ending November 30, 2007. In addition, the Board’s Independent Directors also held meetings on October 12 and November 7, prior to the November 9, 2006 meeting of the full Board, to consider the annual renewal of the Advisory Contract.
The materials requested by and provided to the Board and/or to K&L Gates prior to the November 2006 Board meeting included the following items: (1) FACT sheets for each Portfolio that provided 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 from the Adviser to a detailed series of questions posed by K&L Gates; (4) copies of the form of Advisory Contract; (5) copies 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 renewals 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 I shares were used for purposes of certain comparisons to the funds in its Selected Peer Group. Class I shares were selected, as general matter, so that the Portfolio’s class with the longest performance history (at the Fund-of-Funds or underlying Funds level, as relevant) 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 class being compared to the Selected Peer Group.
In arriving at its conclusions with respect to the Advisory Contract, the Board was mindful of the “manager-of-managers” platform of the ING Funds. The Board noted the resources that the Adviser has committed to the Board and its Investment Review Committees, including the I/B/F IRC, to assist the Board and members of the Committees with their assessment of the investment performance of the funds in the ING Funds Complex, including the Portfolios, on an ongoing basis throughout the year. 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 I/B/F IRC to analyze the key factors underlying investment performance for the funds in the ING Funds Complex, including the Portfolios.
In considering the Portfolios’ 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, without a sales charge, between the same class of shares of the Portfolios and other ING Funds or among the Portfolios and other ING Funds available on a product platform, and the wide variety in the types of ING 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 ING Funds, including the Portfolios,
48
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
through re-negotiated arrangements with the ING Funds’ service providers.
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 personnel with the code of ethics. The Board considered reports from IPI’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Adviser and procedures reasonably designed by the Adviser 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 of enhanced compliance policies and procedures in response to SEC rule changes and other regulatory initiatives. The Board also took into account the CCO’s annual and periodic reports with respect to service provider compliance and his recommendations regarding service providers’ compliance programs. In this regard, the Board also considered the policies and procedures developed by the CCO in consultation with the Board’s Compliance Committee that guide the CCO’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, including the members of the Adviser’s Investment Review Committee. The Board also considered the adequacy of the resources committed to the Portfolios (and other relevant funds in the ING Funds complex) by the Adviser, and whether those resources are commensurate with the needs of the 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.
Principal Protection Funds
In assessing advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of each Portfolio, taking into account the importance of such performance to Portfolio 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 Fund 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 at the underlying Fund level that would indirectly benefit Portfolio shareholders because they result in lower advisory fees when the underlying Fund achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount. The Board also noted that, for underlying Funds that did not have breakpoint discounts on advisory fees, certain Funds may benefit from waivers to or reimbursements of advisory or other fees, and the extent to which economies of scale could effectively be realized through such waivers, reimbursements, or expense reductions.
In evaluating economies of scale, the Independent Directors considered a management report presented to them and also considered an evaluation and analysis presented to them on November 8, 2006 by an independent consultant regarding fee breakpoint arrangements for the underlying Funds.
Information about Services to Other Clients
The Board requested, and if received considered, information about the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser to other clients, including other registered investment companies and institutional accounts.

Fee Rates and Profitability
The Board reviewed and considered each contractual investment advisory fee rate payable by each Portfolio to the Adviser. 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 its affiliates, from their association with the Portfolios. For each Portfolio, the Board determined that the fee payable to the Adviser is reasonable for the services that it performs, which were considered in light of the nature and quality of the services that it has performed and is expected to perform through the year ending November 30, 2007.
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, the Board concluded 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 2006 meeting in relation to renewing the Portfolios’ Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2007. 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, and its style-specific benchmark, each of which 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 Solution Income Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Contract for ING Solution Income Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2006: (1) the Portfolio underperformed both its variable and retail Morningstar category medians for the year-to-date and one-year periods, but outperformed for the most recent calendar quarter; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for the year-to-date and one-year periods, but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter; (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the second quintile for the most recent calendar quarter and in the fifth (lowest) quintile for the year-to-date and one-year periods when compared to its variable Morningstar category median; and (4) the Portfolio is ranked in the second quintile for the most recent calendar quarter and in the fourth quintile for the year-to-date and one-year periods when compared to its retail Morningstar category median.
In considering this performance data, the Board took into account that the Portfolio launched in April 2005, and therefore has a limited operating history for purposes of analyzing Portfolio performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for ING Solution Income 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 (inclusive of the advisory fee and a 0.02% administration fee) for the Portfolio is below the median and the average management fees of the
50
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
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 analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account that the Portfolio indirectly bears the fees payable by the underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests.
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 launched in April 2005, and it is reasonable to permit the Portfolio to establish a longer operating history for the purpose of evaluating 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, 2007. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Solution 2015 Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Contract for ING Solution 2015 Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2006: (1) the Portfolio underperformed both its variable and retail Morningstar category medians and its primary benchmark for all periods presented, except it outperformed all three performance measures for the most recent calendar quarter; (2) the Portfolio is ranked in the second quintile for the most recent calendar quarter and in the fifth (lowest) quintile for the year-to-date and one-year periods when compared to its variable Morningstar category; and (4) the Portfolio is ranked in the first (highest) quintile for the most recent calendar quarter and in the fourth quintile for the year-to-date and one-year periods when compared to its retail Morningstar category.
In considering this performance data, the Board took into account that the Portfolio launched in April 2005, and therefore has a limited operating history for purposes of analyzing Portfolio performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for ING Solution 2015 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 (inclusive of the advisory fee and a 0.02% administration 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 analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account that the Portfolio indirectly bears the fees payable by the underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests.
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 launched in April 2005, and it is reasonable to permit the Portfolio to establish a longer operating history for the purpose of evaluating performance.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
In its recent meetings, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) ceased what was a two-year trend. That trend — a string of 17 consecutive interest rate hikes that ended last fall — was seen by many analysts as a sign that the Fed was concerned about containing inflation.
Now, the Fed is neither raising nor lowering interest rates, which puts us in the midst of what economists refer to as a “plateau.” Historically, there have been six similar plateaus since 1982 and during four of those periods the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) (“S&P 500® Index”) rose significantly.
Of course, the Fed’s actions impact economies and market performance around the world. For instance, the current interest rate climate has been cited as one reason for a decline in the value of the dollar. Last year, that drop in the dollar meant that international stocks — which are often determined in foreign currencies — generally experienced strong performance as foreign currencies climbed and world stock markets continued to produce strong results.
Meanwhile, here at home, 2006 was an interesting year for equity investors. In May of 2006, the S&P 500® Index hit a five-year high followed by a market correction and several months of non-directional returns. A strong rally occurred in the second half of the year driven in part by the aforementioned dollar decline and the interest rate plateau. The good news is many economists believe that these conditions may continue in the months to come.
At ING Funds, we are committed to providing you, the investor, with an array of investment choices that enables you to build a diversified portfolio across a variety of asset classes. We do so, with a view that the globalization of markets is an initial consideration in the products we offer.
We take the confidence you place in us with your investments very seriously — everyone in our firm is committed to renewing this trust each and every day.

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
In our semi-annual report, we described how the feast of the first quarter had turned to famine in the second quarter for global equity markets on concerns that rising interest rates would freeze out global growth. Indeed as late as June 27, 2006, the year-to-date return on the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World IndexSM(1) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends had been precisely 0%. However, the second half of the year ended December 31, 2006, was much healthier and the same index powered ahead 12.3% and for the year ended December 31, 2006, returned 20.07%. The return to dollar based investors was a little better at 13.2%, as late in the year a slowing economy and hints that central banks would be diversifying out of dollars weighed on that currency. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the dollar fell 3.1% against the euro and 5.6% against the pound, but gained 4.1% on the yen due to stumbling growth and miniscule interest rates in Japan. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the dollar fell 10.6% against the euro and 12.4% against the pound, but gained 1.3% against the yen.
As the first half of 2006 ended, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) had just raised the federal funds rate for the seventeenth time since June 2004, to 5.25%. The relatively mild accompanying language led many in the fixed income market to hope that the tightening cycle was now over. Not everyone believed it, especially when new Middle East conflict pushed the price of oil to another record on July 14, 2006. But data, especially on housing, had mostly pointed to cooling demand and a tame employment report on August 4, 2006 probably decided the matter. Four days later the FOMC met and left rates unchanged. The booming housing market had been a powerful driver of growth in recent years through new construction and demand created by mortgage loan refinancing. This boom was deteriorating appreciably with housing prices and the key new building permits measure falling sharply. Only in the last few days of 2006 did the slump show some signs of bottoming out with unexpectedly good new and existing home sales figures reported, along with rebounding consumer confidence. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond (“LBAB”) Index(2) of investment grade bonds gained 5.09% and for the year ended December 31, 2006 it gained 4.33%. The most important dynamic was the broad yield curve inversion, suggestive of an expected fall in interest rates and a further economic slow down. The ten-year Treasury yield fell 43 basis points (0.43%) to 4.71%, while the yield on the three-month Bill rose by 3 basis points (0.03%) to 4.89%. Since mid-August, with the exception of two days, bond investors had been prepared to lend money to the government for ten years at a lower interest rate than for three months.
Faced with fading business activity, as the key housing engine seized up, and a yield curve inverted to the point of recession according to some commentators, investors in U.S. equities must have been in the mood to sell. Not so fast. Those investors saw things differently and indeed the apparent “disagreement” between the bond market and global stock markets was a well discussed feature of the second half of the year. For one thing, the oil price, having hit its record, fell back, as surly calm returned to the Middle East, as the summer driving and hurricane seasons came and went and as winter got off to a mild start in the key North East region. The price of oil averaged 22% less in the fourth quarter than at its peak, boosting consumers’ spending power and confidence. And if longer-term interest rates were falling then stocks looked more attractive as bonds provided less competition and the present value of future corporate profits rose. Speaking of which, Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500®”) Index(3) companies duly reported their 13th straight double-digit quarterly percentage earnings gain. Gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth may have slowed, but the share of corporate profits, reported at 12.4%, was the highest since the 1950’s. The next merger or acquisition to get investors in the mood never seemed far away. Five of them were even announced in one day on November 6, 2006, sending markets up about 1%. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the S&P 500® Index, including dividends, rose 12.7% and for the year ended December 31, 2006, the S&P 500® Index, including dividends, rose 15.8%. All but 30 basis points (0.30%) of the gain came after August 8, 2006, making six-year highs as the year ended.
International markets, based on MSCI local currency indices, as in the U.S., finished near their best levels for the year. In Japan the market advanced 8.7%, in 2006, after a late surge. The long awaited increase in interest rates from 0.0% to 0.25% took place in July just as the economic recovery was losing impetus. Third quarter growth was estimated at only 0.8% and generated by exports and capital spending alone. Consumer spending was lagging despite low

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
unemployment and almost flat prices, yet business confidence remained high and profit growth healthy. Elsewhere, Asian markets ex Japan rose 28.2% in 2006, but with wide disparities, ranging from -2.0% in Thailand to 83.4% in China. In Thailand the uncertainty caused by a military coup was compounded when the junta imposed exchange controls to hold back the strong baht, only to rescind them the next day. China’s market soared in surely speculative excess, and in the absence of attractive alternatives, as investors sought a piece of the world’s fourth largest economy. By the end of 2006 the Chinese market had become the third biggest emerging market after South Korea and Taiwan. European ex UK markets surged 16.1%, in 2006. The Eurozone’s GDP growth had recorded its best first half of a year since 2000, 1.7%, and the lowest unemployment rate, 7.8%, since the start of the Eurozone itself. But as the second half of 2006, wore on there were signs that the best news was behind it and the third quarter’s annualized growth fell to 2.0%. Business confidence, however, stayed buoyant and cheered by extensive merger and acquisition activity despite headwinds in the form of a strengthening euro, a hawkish European Central Bank that raised rates three times and the looming rise in German sales tax. UK equities added 8.6% in the six months ended December 31, 2006. The Bank of England raised rates twice as GDP growth accelerated to 2.9% year over year, inflation climbed above target and house prices, an important demand generator, continued their recovery with average prices up more than 10% in 2006. Again, however, it was widespread, large scale mergers and acquisitions energizing the market.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Portfolio 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, 2006 to December 31, 2006, unless otherwise indicated. The Portfolios’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any charges which are, or may be, imposed under your annuity contract. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 Portfolio and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual 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 redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Shareholders and Board of Directors
ING Partners, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of ING Fidelity VIP Contrafund Portfolio, ING Fidelity VIP Equity Income Portfolio, ING Fidelity VIP Growth Portfolio, and ING Fidelity VIP Mid Cap Portfolio, each a series of ING Partners, Inc., as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended and the period from November 15, 2004 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2004. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying funds. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the aforementioned portfolios as of December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods specified in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
The ING Partners, Inc. (the “Fund”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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 Directed Services, LLC(1) (“DSL” or the “Investment Adviser”) and its insurance company affiliates. At December 31, 2006 there were thirty-nine 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 a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”).
Contrafund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing all of its assets in the Service Class 2 Shares of the VIP Contrafund Portfolio, a series of Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II, a registered open-end investment company.
Equity-Income seeks reasonable income and considers the potential for capital appreciation by investing all of its assets in the Service Class 2 Shares of the VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, a series of Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund, a registered open-end investment company.
Growth seeks capital appreciation by investing all of its assets in the Service Class 2 Shares of the VIP Growth Portfolio, a series of Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund, a registered open-end investment company.
Mid Cap seeks long-term growth of capital by investing all of its assets in the Service Class 2 Shares of the VIP Mid Cap Portfolio, a series of Fidelity Variable Insurance Products III, a registered open-end investment company.
Each Portfolio in this report operates as a “feeder fund” which means the only investment security is a separate mutual 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”). VIP Contrafund Portfolio is a series of Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II; VIP Equity-Income Portfolio and VIP Growth Portfolio are series of Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund; and VIP Mid Cap Growth Portfolio is a series of Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund III. 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, 2006, Contrafund, Equity-Income, Growth and Mid Cap Portfolios each held 1.1% 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
| |
(1) | Prior to December 31, 2006, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) served as the investment adviser to the Portfolios. On November 9, 2006, the Board approved the consolidation of investment advisory functions of ILIAC into DSL resulting in the assumption by DSL of the advisory agreement between the Fund and ILIAC. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION (continued)
Portfolios are not currently offered directly to Qualified Plans or custodial accounts.
Each Portfolio is distributed by ING Funds Distributor, LLC(1) (“IFD” or the “Distributor”). DSL serves as the investment adviser to each Portfolio. IFD and DSL 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 accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
|
|
C. | Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the 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 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 Directors (“Board”) 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. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
|
F. | 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 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 |
| |
(1) | Prior to December 31, 2006, ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) served as distributor to the Portfolios. On November 9, 2006, the Board approved the consolidation of distributor functions of IFA into IFD resulting in the assumption by IFD of the distribution agreement between the Fund and IFA. |

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
repurchase price. 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, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
| |
G. | Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. |
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, DSL may charge an annual advisory fee to a respective Portfolio at annual rates equal to 0.58%, 0.48%, 0.58% and 0.58% of average daily net assets 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, DSL 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 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 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 1940 Act (“Distribution Plan“) for the Class ADV shares of each Portfolio. The Distribution Plan provides for a distribution fee, payable to IFD 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.

At December 31, 2006, the following indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep owned more than 5% of the following Portfolios:
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company — Contrafund (99.72%); Equity-Income (99.73%); Growth (99.98%); Mid Cap (99.52%).
Each Portfolio has adopted a Retirement Policy (“Policy”) covering all independent directors of the Portfolio who will have served as an independent director 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 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, 2006:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | Accumulated |
| | Undistributed | | Net Realized |
| | Net Investment Income | | Gains/(Losses) |
| |

Contrafund | | $ | 65,494 | | | $ | (65,494 | ) |

Growth | | | 27,089 | | | | (27,089 | ) |
Mid Cap | | | 95,281 | | | | (95,281 | ) |
Dividends paid by the Portfolios from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable as ordinary income to shareholders.
The Portfolios paid no dividends or distributions during the year ended December 31, 2005. The tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2006 was as follows:

NOTE 9 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained upon challenge by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early application permitted if no interim financial statements have been issued. However, acknowledging the unique issues that FIN 48 presents for investment companies that calculate NAVs, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has indicated that they would not object if a fund implements FIN 48 in its NAV calculation as late as its last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. For calendar-year open-end funds, this would be no later than their June 29, 2007 NAV and the effects of FIN 48 would be reflected in the funds’ semi-annual financial statements contained in their Form N-CSR filing. At adoption, companies must adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Management of the Portfolios has assessed the impact of adopting FIN 48 and currently does not believe that there will be a material impact to the Portfolios.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS No. 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” The new accounting statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, management of the Portfolios is currently assessing the impact, if any, that will result from adopting SFAS No. 157.
NOTE 10 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
In 2004, DSL (formerly, known as ILIAC) 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. DSL has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, DSL reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep, including DSL (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
25
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 10 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Boards.
DSL has advised the Boards that most of the identified arrangements were initiated prior to ING’s acquisition of the businesses in question in the U.S. DSL 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, DSL has advised the Boards 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 National Association of Securities Dealers (“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 DSL reported to the Boards 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.) 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 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 Boards are the only instances of such trading respecting the ING Funds.
DSL reported to the Boards that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, DSL 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, DSL 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 |
26
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 10 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
| |
| resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. DSL reported to the Boards that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business. |
|
• | ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements. |
|
• | 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. |
Other Regulatory Matters
The New York Attorney General (the “NYAG”) and other federal and state regulators are also conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance industry. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; potential anti-competitive activity; reinsurance; marketing practices (including suitability); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); fund selection for investment products and brokerage sales; and disclosure. It is likely that the scope of these industry investigations will further broaden before they conclude. ING has received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and is cooperating fully with each request. In connection with one such investigation, affiliates of DSL were named in a petition for relief and cease and desist order filed by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation (the “NH Bureau”) concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.
On October 10, 2006, an affiliate of DSL entered into an assurance of discontinuance with the NYAG (the “NYAG Agreement”) regarding the endorsement of its products by the New York State United Teachers Union Member Benefits Trust (“NYSUT”) and the sale of their products to NYSUT members. Under the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate of DSL, without admitting or denying the NYAG’s findings, will distribute $30 million to NYSUT members, and/or former NYSUT members, who participated in the NYSUT-endorsed products at any point between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2006. The affiliate also agreed with the NYAG’s office to develop a one-page disclosure that will further improve transparency and disclosure regarding retirement product fees (the “One-Page Disclosure”). Pursuant to the terms of the NYAG Agreement, the affiliate has agreed for a five year period to provide its retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure.
In addition, on the same date, these affiliates of DSL entered into a consent agreement with the NH Bureau (the “NH Agreement”) to resolve this petition for relief and cease and desist order. Under the terms of the NH Agreement, these affiliates of ING Investments, without admitting or denying the NH Bureau’s claims, have agreed to pay $3 million to resolve the matter, and for a five year period to provide their retirement product customers with the One-Page Disclosure described above. Other federal and state regulators could initiate similar actions in this or other areas of ING’s businesses.
In light of these and other developments, ING continuously reviews whether modifications to its business practices are appropriate.
At this time, in light of the current regulatory factors, ING U.S. is actively engaged in reviewing whether any modifications in our practices are appropriate for the future.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares, or other adverse consequences to ING Funds.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)
Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) provides that, after an initial period, the Portfolios’ existing advisory agreement (the “Advisory Contract”) between the Portfolios and Directed Services, LLC (formerly, ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (the “Adviser”) and the Portfolios 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 9, 2006 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 12, 2006 and November 7, 2006 to consider renewal 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 9, 2006 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 Preston Gates Ellis LLP (“K&L Gates”), 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 9, 2006 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 one-year period ending November 30, 2007. 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 Renewal and Approval Process
In 2003, the Independent Directors determined to undertake steps to further enhance the process under which the Board determines whether to renew existing advisory arrangements for the funds in the ING Funds complex, including IPI’s existing Advisory Contract, and to approve new advisory arrangements. Among these measures, the Board: retained the services of an independent consultant with experience in the mutual fund industry to assist the Independent Directors in working with the personnel employed by the Adviser or its affiliates who administer the Portfolios (“Management”) to identify the types of information presented to the Board to inform its deliberations with respect to advisory relationships; established the format in which the information requested by the Board is provided to the Board; and determined the process for reviewing such information in connection with the Advisory 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 the foregoing approval and renewal process was implemented, the Board regularly has reviewed and refined the process. In addition, the Board established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees. The type and format of the information provided to the Board or its counsel to inform its approval and 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 Independent Directors, and sets out a written blueprint under which the Independent Directors request 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 Independent Directors based on the Methodology Guide through “Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables” or “FACT” sheets prior to the Independent Directors’ review of Advisory and Contracts. In 2005, the Independent Directors retained an independent firm to verify and
38
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
test the accuracy of certain of this information for a representative sample of funds in the ING Funds complex. The Independent Directors have determined to conduct such testing periodically.
As part of a regular on-going process, the Board’s Contracts Committee recommends or considers recommendations from Management for refinements and other changes to the Methodology Guide and other aspects of the 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. The Investment Review Committees may apply a heightened level of scrutiny in cases where performance has lagged a Portfolio’s relevant benchmark and/or peer group of investment companies.
The Board employed its process for reviewing contracts when considering the renewal of the Advisory Contract that would be effective through November 30, 2007. 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 Portfolios for the year ending November 30, 2007, the Independent Directors received and evaluated such information as they deemed necessary regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolios by the Adviser. This included information regarding the Adviser to the Portfolios provided throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information furnished for the November 9, 2006 Board meeting, which was held specifically to consider contracts renewal for the period ending November 30, 2007. In addition, the Board’s Independent Directors also held meetings on October 12 and November 7, prior to the November 9, 2006 meeting of the full Board, to consider the annual renewal of the Advisory Contract.
The materials requested by and provided to the Board and/or to K&L Gates prior to the November 2006 Board meeting included the following items: (1) FACT sheets for each Portfolio that provided 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 from the Adviser to a detailed series of questions posed by K&L Gates; (4) a copy of the form of Advisory Contract; (5) a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV; (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 currently has only one class of shares, which was compared to the analogous class of shares for each fund in the Selected Peer Group. It should be noted that, as a technical matter, the performance of a Portfolio reflects that of the Master Fund in which it invests. Mutual funds chosen for inclusion in a Portfolio’s Selected Peer Group were selected based upon criteria designed to mirror the Portfolio’s class being compared to the funds in the Selected Peer Group.
In arriving at its conclusions with respect to the Advisory Contract, the Board noted the resources that the Adviser has committed to the Board and its Investment Review Committees to assist the Board and members of the Committees with their assessment of the investment performance of the Portfolios on an ongoing basis throughout the year. 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.
In considering the Portfolios’ Advisory Contract, the Board 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, without a sales charge, between shares of the Portfolios or among Funds available on 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 administrative expenses of the ING Funds, including
39
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
the Portfolios, through re-negotiated arrangements with the ING Funds’ service providers.
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 the Adviser’s personnel with the code of ethics. The Board considered reports from the Portfolios’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Adviser and procedures reasonably designed by the Adviser 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 of enhanced compliance policies and procedures in response to SEC rule changes and other regulatory initiatives. The Board also took into account the CCO’s annual and periodic reports with respect to service provider compliance and his recommendations regarding service providers’ compliance programs. In this regard, the Board also considered the policies and procedures developed by the CCO in consultation with the Board’s Compliance Committee that guide the CCO’s compliance oversight function.
The Board considered the adequacy of the resources committed to the Portfolios (and other relevant funds in the ING Funds complex) by the Adviser, and whether those resources are commensurate with the needs of the 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 Portfolio shareholders. The Board noted that the performance of each Portfolio reflects the performance of the underlying Master Fund in which it invests.
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 Fund 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 the 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.
Information about Services to Other Clients
The Board requested, and if received considered, information about the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser to other clients, including other registered investment companies. The Board also noted that the fee rates charged to the Portfolios and similar institutional clients may differ materially due to the different services and additional regulatory overlay associated with registered investment companies, such as the Portfolios.
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. In analyzing this information, the Board took into account that no advisory fees are charged
40
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
when the Portfolio is fully invested in the corresponding Master Fund, and that advisory fees are 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 its association with the Portfolios. For each Portfolio, the Board determined that the fees payable to the Adviser are reasonable for the services that it performs, which were considered in light of the nature and quality of the services that it has performed and is expected to perform through the year ending November 30, 2007.
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, the Board concluded 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 2006 meeting in relation to renewing each Portfolio’s current Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2007. 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, 2006: (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 of its Morningstar category for all periods presented.
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; and (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

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.
