PRESIDENT'S LETTER
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001104659-09-015022/j0927784_be007.jpg)
Dear Shareholders,
We are in the midst of one of the most challenging periods ever faced by investors, and we at ING Funds are aware of the anxiety that you may be feeling at this time.
I want to assure you that we are actively engaged in monitoring the situation and are committed to keeping you fully informed of how the rapidly unfolding events around us may impact your investments with our company.
We recognize that the confidence of many investors is being tested, perhaps as never before. It is understandable that some of you may be second guessing your investment strategy due to these recent events. We encourage you to work with your investment professional and seek out their advice about your portfolio in light of the current conditions. But we also urge investors not to make rash decisions. ING Funds still believes that a well-diversified, globally allocated portfolio remains the most effective investment strategy of all. We ask that investors not lose sight of their commitment to the long-term.
We thank you for your support and confidence and we look forward to continuing to do business with you in the future.
Sincerely,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001104659-09-015022/j0927784_be006.jpg)

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
In our semi-annual report, we described a failed second quarter rally that fizzled when investors realized that borderline recessionary conditions and a credit crunch had not gone away. By year-end, governments were committing previously unimaginable sums of taxpayer money to prevent systemic collapse. Global equities in the form of the MSCI World® Index(1) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends ("MSCI" for regions discussed below) plunged 29.70% in the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 38.70% for the entire fiscal year). (The MSCI World® Index plunged 40.71% for the entire fiscal year, measured in U.S. dollars.) In currencies, the dollar at first drifted near record lows against the euro. But the tide turned in mid-July and for the six months ended December 31, 2008, the dollar strengthened by 12.10% (4.50% for the entire fiscal year). The dollar also soared 37.80% against the pound for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (37.90% for the entire fiscal year). But the yen advanced as carry trades (essentially short yen positions) were unwound and the dollar fell 14.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 19.60% for the entire fiscal year).
Even more dramatic was the price of oil which marched to an all-time high of around $147 per barrel in mid-July, only to lose more than two thirds of that price by December 31, 2008.
The economic statistics remained bleak. By the end of October, the Standard & Poor's ("S&P")/Case-Shiller National U.S. Home Price Index(2) of house prices had fallen a record 18% over the year. New home sales were at 1991 levels. Some 45% of existing home sales were distressed.
Payrolls declined in every month of 2008, as the number of people claiming unemployment reached 4.1 million, a 26-year high. Gross domestic product ("GDP") fell at an annualized rate of 0.50% in the third quarter, and the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the recession had actually started in December 2007.
Yet these were side-shows to the fireworks display in the financial sector, where major institutions — hanging by a thread through problems rooted in unwise mortgage borrowing, lending and investment — met different fates in September 2008 at the hands of the U.S. government.
The Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") were taken into "conservatorship." Merrill Lynch was acquired by the Bank of America with a wink from the authorities. AIG received an $85 billion loan from a reluctant government, which also took a 79.90% equity stake in AIG. But Lehman Brothers having sought capital, then a buyer, found neither and was left to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The U.S. government was now in the position of choosing winners and losers among financial institutions: none too successfully, for it quickly became obvious that by pointedly leaving Lehman Brothers to go under, a credit crisis had become a credit market collapse. Lending all but seized up.
Policy response was huge but at least initially muddled. A Troubled Asset Relief Plan ("TARP") would set up a $700 billion fund to buy illiquid mortgage securities from financial institutions. But on November 12, 2008 with half of the money already used to recapitalize banks, Treasury Secretary Paulson announced that the rest of the funds would not be used to buy illiquid mortgage securities after all. This merely renewed the pressure on the holders of such securities like Citigroup, which within two weeks received guarantees from the government against losses and another $20 billion in capital.
Other programs were of more practical use, like support for the commercial paper market and a guarantee facility for money market funds. Arguably the most effective measure was the announced intention to buy vast quantities of agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures. This had the effect of driving down rates on the 30-year mortgage towards 5.00%, a record low. In the meantime, the newly-elected president promised a stimulus package worth approximately $1 trillion. And by year end, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") reduced interest rates to a range of between 0% and 0.25%.
2008 ended with much gloom and bad news still to come, but the platform for recovery was perhaps taking shape.
In U.S. fixed-income markets, yields on the 90-day Treasury Bills briefly turned negative in December 2008, while the yield on the ten-year Treasury Note fell below 2.50%, something we had not seen in 50 years. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index(3), formerly known as the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, of investment grade bonds returned 4.10% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (5.20% for the entire fiscal year). By contrast, high yield bonds,

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
represented by the Barclays Capital High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index(4), formerly known as the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index, behaved more like a stock index and returned (25.10)% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 25.90% for the entire fiscal year).
U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Composite Stock Price ("S&P 500®") Index(5), including dividends, returned (28.50)% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (down 37.00% for the entire fiscal year), increasingly unimpressed by sharply falling oil prices. Profits for S&P 500® Index companies suffered their fifth straight quarter of decline, led again by the financials sector, although taxpayer money was also potentially committed to save the big three auto makers from bankru ptcy. On November 20, 2008, the S&P 500® Index plumbed a level not seen since April 1997, before a December recovery.
In international markets, plainly entering recession, the MSCI Japan® Index(6) slumped 35.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (down 42.60% for the entire fiscal year). The strengthening yen hit exports in an export-dependent economy even as global demand slowed for other reasons. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(7) sagged 29.40% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 43.20% for the entire fiscal year), beset by sharply falling economic activity and a European Central Bank in denial that inflation was falling fast. Finally, rates were reduced by an unprecedented 175 basis points (or 1.75%) in two months near the end of the year while governments, one after the other, proposed large stimulus packages. In the UK, the MSCI UK® Index(8) fell 19.40% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 28.50% for the entire fiscal year). The UK had allowed a bigger housing bubble than the United States and deeper personal indebtedness in an economy more dependent on the financial sector. Rates were reduced to 1951 levels as venerable banks ceased to exist as independent entities.

ING AMERICAN CENTURY LARGE COMPANY VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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, CFA, Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager and Brendan Healy, CFA, Vice President and Portfolio Manager, American Century Investment Management, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (36.99)% 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 (36.85)% and (37.00)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Extraordinary, if not unprecedented market conditions characterized the period. Few investors anticipated the scope of the credit crunch, which grew into a full-blown financial crisis. In the stock market, volatility was extreme on a day-to-day basis as investors lost confidence in the financial system and worried about the government's ability to remedy the situation. U.S. equity indexes were universally down for the 12-month period, with value and growth stocks generally providing similar returns.
The Portfolio's holdings in the healthcare sector contributed to relative results. During difficult economic times or periods of stock market turbulence, investors often regard healthcare stocks as lower-risk, defensive investments. Moreover, our preference for large industry leaders proved advantageous. A significant holding was Abbott Laboratories, which develops and manufactures laboratory diagnostics, medical devices and pharmaceutical therapies.
The Portfolio's relative returns also benefited from effective security selection in information technology, primarily from large leading software and technology companies. A notable contributor was Hewlett-Packard Co., a computer and peripheral maker.
The Portfolio's positioning within the materials sector boosted relative performance. For some time, the share prices of metals and mining firms have been momentum-driven; many have not met the management team's valuation criteria and thus have not merited sizeable exposure. This limited exposure was particularly beneficial when commodities prices fell during the final months of 2008.
Despite an underweight, the financials sector was the Portfolio's largest source of underperformance versus the Russell 1000® Value Index. Although the portfolio management team continues to approach the sector with caution and selectivity, the best relative values were the most adversely affected by the financial crisis. In particular, the Portfolio was hampered by its mix of insurance, mortgage finance, and diversified financial services stocks. Three top detractors were financial giant Citigroup, Inc.; life, property and casualty insurer Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. ("Hartford"); and American International Group ("AIG"), the leading U.S.-based international insurer. The Portfolio's positions in Hartford and AIG have been eliminated.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The portfolio management team takes a fundamental, bottom-up approach, evaluating each company individually on its own merits and building the portfolio from the ground up, one stock at a time.
As of December 31, 2008, the Portfolio was broadly diversified, with continued overweight positions in the information technology and healthcare sectors. Our valuation work contributed to our smaller relative weightings in financials and utilities stocks. We have also continued to find greater value opportunities among mega-cap stocks and have maintained our bias toward these firms.

ING AMERICAN CENTURY SMALL-MID CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 and James Pitman (responsible for the management of the Small Cap Value portion of the Portfolio) and Kevin Toney*, Phillip N. Davidson, and Michael Liss (responsible for the Mid Cap Value portion of the Portfolio), Portfolio Managers of American Century Investment Management, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (26.56)% compared to the Russell 2500TM Value Index(1) and the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") Small Cap 600/CitigroupValue Index(2), which returned (31.99)%, and (29.51)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Extraordinary, if not unprecedented market conditions characterized the annual period. Few investors anticipated the scope of the credit crunch, which grew into a full-blown financial crisis. In the stock market, volatility was extreme on a day-to-day basis as investors lost confidence in the financial system and worried about the U.S. government's ability to remedy the situation. U.S. equity indexes were universally down for the year ended December 31, 2008, with value and growth stocks generally providing similar returns.
Small Cap Value** — Against this backdrop, the Portfolio benefited from positions in the consumer discretionary, industrials, and information technology sectors. In consumer discretionary, security selection in the hotels, restaurants and leisure segment was a plus. A top holding was casual restaurant chain, Chipotle Mexican Grill. Within industrials, investments in construction and engineering, machinery, and commercial services and supplies contributed. Holdings among software and semiconductor companies added value. A notable contributor was data management software maker, Sybase. The weakest performing sectors were financials and energy. In financials, investments among commercial banks and capital markets firms slowed relative results. A top detractor was MCG Capital Corp., which provides capital to finance activities such as acquisitions, recapitalizati ons, and buyouts. In energy, holdings among energy equipment and services companies, such as Global Industries Ltd., hampered progress.
Mid Cap Value** — Against this backdrop, the Portfolio benefited from positions in the consumer discretionary, financials, and utilities sectors. In consumer discretionary, an underweight and strong security selection, including a lack of exposure to media companies or internet and catalog retailers, was advantageous. In financials, investments among thrifts and insurance companies added value. Two top holdings were People's United Financial and The Chubb Corp. In utilities, the Portfolio did not own any independent power producers, which contributed to relative progress. Furthermore, its holdings in electric and gas utilities boosted results. Although the Portfolio received positive relative contributions from all 10 sectors in which it was invested, performance was hampered by certain holdings and by select underweights. For example, the financials sector p rovided top detractor, AllianceBernstein Holding LP.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The management team takes a fundamental, bottom-up approach, evaluating each company individually on its own merits and building the Portfolio from the ground up, one stock at a time. In searching for companies that we believe are undervalued, the team will structure exposure to stocks and market segments as warranted based on the attractiveness of individual companies.
Small Cap Value** — As of December 31, 2008, the Portfolio was broadly diversified, with an overweight position in energy and an underweight position in financials relative to the benchmark.
Mid Cap Value** — As of December 31, 2008, we continued to see opportunities in consumer staples and healthcare stocks, reflected by our overweight positions in these sectors relative to the benchmark. Our fundamental analysis and valuation work contributed to our smaller relative weightings in financials and energy stocks.

ING BARON ASSET PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Baron Asset Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Andrew Peck*, Senior Vice President, of BAMCO, Inc. ("BAMCO") — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (41.04)% compared to the Russell Midcap® Growth Index(1) and the Russell Midcap® Index(2), which returned (44.32)% and (41.46)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The sectors that positively impacted the Portfolio's performance relative to the Russell Midcap® Growth Index were industrials and information technology. Performance attribution for both sectors was positive mainly due to stock selection.
The financial sector had the largest negative impact led by its investments in CME Group, Inc. ("CME") and CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc ("CB Richard Ellis"). CME's share price declined as the company's trading volumes disappointed expectations. The credit crisis negatively impacted CME's volumes through several channels. Unprecedented volatility and dislocations in the credit markets caused CME's interest rate products to be less effective than usual for traditional hedging and speculating strategies. In addition, across product categories customers had less access to credit and therefore capital with which to trade. CB Richard Ellis performed poorly in 2008 (along with most commercial real estate stocks) as the combination of a slowdown in leasing and investment sales activity, rising cap rates, and credit market concerns weighed on the shares. Though we believe that the commercial real estate market will continue to face headwinds in 2009, we believe that most of these concerns are discounted in the stock at this stage.
The consumer discretionary sector had the second largest negative impact, mainly due to Lamar Advertising Co. ("Lamar") and Wynn Resorts Ltd. ("Wynn"). Lamar shares had softened early in the year, as advertising demand started to slow, and the shares weakened substantially starting in September, as evidence mounted of a more substantial economic and advertising recession. Adding to this was a constrained credit environment, as investors grew concerned about potential refinancing risk. Still, unlike other traditional media, the outdoor advertising business is experiencing little, if any audience erosion, and therefore, we believe should outgrow other media in a cyclical recovery. In the meantime, the company is managing the business with a keen eye on costs and capital expenditures, and has taken the steps necessary to produce significant free cash flow and avoid violating any of its credit covenants during this difficult time. With a longsta nding management in place, with experience through many past cycles and having strong relationships with its lenders for decades, we believe the company should be well positioned to manage through this difficult time toward an eventual recovery. Wynn's stock fell because both properties, Macau and Las Vegas are anticipated to have lower than expected earnings.
The healthcare sector also had a negative impact. Investors turning to traditionally defensive healthcare services stocks in 2008 did not find much safety. Our facility based stocks — hospitals and nursing homes — were hit hard by concerns over admission trends, bad debt and negative patient mix as growing unemployment and years of cost shifting made affordability an issue even for the insured. Assisted living stocks got hammered as seniors, unable to sell their homes, delayed move-ins and worries mounted over the negative leverage of lower occupancy and indications the industry was resorting to discounting and promotions. Lastly, investors dumping companies with levered balance sheets, with little regard for underlying cash flows, covenant cushions or maturity schedules, also pressured our holdings.
The top five most positively impacting stocks were DeVry, Inc., CH Robinson Worldwide, Inc., Arch Capital Group Ltd., Choice Hotels International, Inc. and Ecolab, Inc. The top five most negatively impacting stocks were CME Group, Inc., Lamar Advertising Co., Wynn Resorts Ltd., CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. and Covance, Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We focus on the long-term fundamental prospects of the businesses in which it invests. We believe we can gain an investment advantage through our independent and exhaustive research of businesses. We attempt to purchase what we believe are great companies with exciting prospects at attractive prices when prospects are misunderstood; markets react to short term events; and/or when experts are wrong.

ING BARON SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (41.25)% compared to the Russell 2000® Index(1), which returned (33.79)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The sectors that positively impacted the Portfolio's performance relative to the Russell 2000® Index were information technology and materials. Information technology had a positive impact relative to the Russell 2000® Index due to its underweighting and stock selection and materials was due to its underweighting relative to the index.
The consumer discretionary sector had the largest negative impact, led by Sotheby's, which also had the largest negative impact on the Portfolio. The global economic crunch impacted the art market as collectors were unwilling to speculate at auctions. The downturn in the market led to significant losses on guaranteed pieces.
The financial sector had the second largest negative impact mainly due to its investments in FCStone Group, Inc. ("FCStone") and Cohen & Steers, Inc ("Cohen & Steers"). The sector had a very difficult period as a result of the struggling economy. The falling stock market coupled with heavy investor redemptions led to lower assets under management and a significant reduction in revenue for asset management companies like Cohen & Steers. The operating environment in 2008 became extremely difficult for FCStone's commodity risk consulting and brokerage businesses. Declining government interest rates were a headwind to FCStone's net interest revenue. The credit crisis caused customers to have less access to capital with which to execute hedging strategies. Commodity price volatility caused trading to become more expensive for customers and increased FCStone's financial risk from customer failures. In spite of these difficulties, FCSto ne continued to see growing demand for its products and services.
The energy sector also had a negative impact as the deteriorating world economy led to a drop in oil prices (54% in 2008). In addition, energy stocks were hurt by the tight credit markets. Energy is a capital intensive business, and less available credit is resulting in sharp cuts to drilling budgets and major capital projects. Our energy holdings, for example, FMC Technologies, Inc. and Core Laboratories NV are, in our opinion, in excellent financial condition; however, their customers are scaling back spending plans for 2009 due to low commodity prices and the credit crunch.
The top five most positively impacting stocks were DeVry, Inc., Panera Bread Co., Aecom Technology Corp., Mohawk Industries, Inc. and Choice Hotels International, Inc. The top five most negatively impacting stocks were Sotheby's, SunPower Corp., FCStone Group, Inc., Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. and J. Crew Group.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We focus on the long-term fundamental prospects of the businesses in which it invests. This contrasts with other investors' focus on historical operating results or current earnings expectations. We believe that historical results and the outlook for near-term earnings are often not indicative of superior longer-term prospects that can be identified through its research efforts. We believe we can gain an investment advantage through our independent and exhaustive research of businesses. We attempt to purchase what we believe are great small cap companies with exciting prospects at attractive prices when prospects are misunderstood; markets react to short-term events; and/or when experts are wrong.

ING COLUMBIA SMALL CAP VALUE II PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Columbia Small Cap Value II Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by two investment sleeves. The first sleeve is managed by Christian Stadlinger and Jarl Ginsberg, Portfolio Managers, and the second sleeve* is managed by Stephen Barbaro and Jeremy Javidi, Portfolio Managers, of Columbia Management Advisors, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (33.93)% compared to the Russell 2000® Value Index(1), which returned (28.92)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Columbia Sleeve I — 2008 marked a disappointing and volatile year for small-cap value stocks as all sectors of the Russell 2000 Value® Index posted losses. For the year, volatility and a dislocation of fundamentals from stock price movements continued to impact the broader universe of stocks as well as those in the Portfolio. The weakest returns came from the industrial, technology, financials and consumer staples sectors, while the Portfolio experienced positive relative results from the consumer discretionary and telecom sectors. Stock specific returns drove the Portfolio's performance versus the benchmark, yet sector impacts were evident as well. In terms of stock s pecific impact, performance versus the benchmark can be in large part traced to some stock specific weakness in names such as National Financial Partners and Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. ("Great A&P") amongst others. In the case of Great A&P, the stock was weak in spite of the stability of supermarkets in this environment, as the volatility and decreasing risk tolerance punished anyone with "perceived" balance sheet risk. The Portfolio did reap the benefit from positions in companies such as Delta Airlines, Inc., Massey Energy Co. and Community Bank System, Inc. to name a few. Additionally, looking at performance throughout the year, much of the shortfall can be traced to weakness experienced in the third quarter where three factors affected the portfolio. First, the Portfolio had less exposure than the Russell 2000 Value® Index to the very small-cap, lower quality, high-risk financials that received a short term bounce. These weaker names were pushed higher on the belief that their poor fundamentals had stabilized and the effect was evident across the space including banks, insurance companies and thrifts. Second, the Portfolio's positions in aerospace companies such as BE Aerospace, Inc. and AAR Corp. underperformed as fears of an economic slowdown and a labor strike at a major aircraft maker pressured the sector downward. Last, the high degree of trading volatility during the period caused a dislocation between company fundamentals and stock prices. The Portfolio experienced many examples of companies whose fundamentals had not changed for the worse, yet were pressured. We fully expect that when markets regain some sense of normalcy, fundamentals will be the major determinants of stock price movement.
Columbia Sleeve II — Since its inception on August 29, 2008, the Portfolio was able to add significant value through its holdings and positioning within the consumer discretionary and technology sectors. The strategy was appropriately positioned in the consumer discretionary sector with a strategic underweight, as the Russell 2000® Value consumer discretionary sector was one of the weaker sectors in the quarter. The Portfolio generated outperformance through strong stock selection in the auto and the retail industry coupled with our avoidance of stocks in the very weak media industry. The technology sector was another positive relative performer. The outperformance was spread across almost all of the industries within the tech sector, as the market was more attracted to stable and quality companies throughout the fourth quarter. IT services sto od out in the sector as a particular bright spot with many of the companies also contributing to our business outsourcing basket. The Portfolio's significant overweight in the healthcare sector helped offset negative stock selection as healthcare underperformed in the fourth quarter. However, a lack of holdings in the pharmaceuticals industry was also major contributor to the underperformance within healthcare. The life science tools industry also was a weak performer in the fourth quarter, due to the slowdown in spending by research companies and hospitals. Negative stock selection within the industrials sector detracted from relative performance. In the airline space, for example, the stocks of the major carriers that were not held in the portfolio rose as oil prices plunged and excess capacity declined. Stock selection within construction and engineering industry was also weak as one portfolio holding with overseas exposure was particularly weak on the fear of a reduction of cement demand by the emerging markets. We feel that this long-term position may substantially benefit the Portfolio in time, as it appears the world wide government response has been centered on increasing infrastructure spending, thereby improving the likelihood of increased cement demand.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Columbia Sleeve I — It is reasonable to assume that a difficult environment will continue into 2009 as the global recession serves as a headwind to many companies and industries. Furthermore, should the dislocation between company fundamentals and stock price movements continue, this will only serve to create additional challenges. However, in similar periods stock prices have tended to lead both heading into and exiting recessionary periods. We believe it is specifically in these types of environments where adherence to our strategy will serve our shareholders best. It is worth reiterating that our strategy entails finding the companies that, based on underlying fundamental s, represent the best value opportunities. We specifically focus on those which show incremental improvements in fundamental metrics, or as we often say "upward inflection points." Our discipline in executing this approach is combined with our diligence in controlling for risk as well. While we naturally will have sector and industry level exposures that vary from the benchmark, we ensure that these variances do not constitute more than a minimal amount of the Portfolio's overall risk exposure. This ensures that the Portfolio is not swayed by unintended bets, but rather driven by our work and success in stock selection that has served us well over various market cycles, and we expect to serve us well throughout the coming year.
Columbia Sleeve II — Throughout the fourth quarter, we began to buy inexpensive beta as the market sell off presented attractive, long term opportunities. The sell off provided a great opportunity to create a strategic overweight within the technology sector, which is now our largest active exposure. Balance sheets are particularly strong within technology and many of the companies are better prepared for a downturn relative to 2000 recession. We believe this exposure will add significant value over our time horizon. At year end, the Portfolio was weighted toward higher-quality companies (consistent with the portfolio managers' philosophy) with stable, positive earnings and low volatility when compared to its peers, and a consistent value bias. We believe that the market will present us with a number of high quality value opportunities, as our competitors' sh ort term view often creates exaggerated market moves. We feel the current positioning of the Portfolio is appropriate as we continually hunt for attractive "value opportunities" to fuel our longer term success.

ING DAVIS NEW YORK VENTURE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Davis New York Venture 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. ("Davis Advisers") — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (39.22)% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned (37.00)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio's financial companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the S&P 500® Index, but were still the largest detractors from absolute performance. A higher relative average weighting in this sector detracted from relative performance versus the benchmark. American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"), American Express Co., Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc., Loews Corp., Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., Bank of New York Mellon Corp., and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were among the top detractors from performance. Wells Fargo & Co. was among the top contributors to the Portfolio's performance.
The Portfolio's underweight and adverse stock selection in telecommunications and utilities was a detractor to relative performance. The second largest detractors from absolute performance were energy companies. On a relative basis, the Portfolio's energy companies also underperformed the corresponding sector within the S&P 500® Index. A higher relative average weighting in this sector also detracted from performance. ConocoPhillips was among the top detractors from performance.
Additional factors contributing to the Portfolio underperforming the S&P 500® Index included a lower relative average weighting in the healthcare sector than the S&P 500® Index and weak stock selection in the consumer staples sector.
Like all sectors in the S&P 500® Index, healthcare companies declined in value over the year; however, on average they declined in value less than the S&P 500® Index did. Schering-Plough Corp. was among the most important contributors to relative performance. However, the Portfolio's relative performance overall was harmed because it had a lower relative average weighting in this sector, which out-performed (lost less) the S&P 500® Index.
The Portfolio's consumer staple companies underperformed the average company included in the S&P 500® Index's consumer staples sector. Costco Wholesale Corp. was among the most important detractors from performance.
Individual companies contributing positively to the Portfolio's absolute performance over the year included H&R Block, Inc. (a consumer discretionary company) and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (a consumer staples company). Microsoft Corp. (an information technology company) was an important detractor from performance.
The Portfolio held approximately 10% of its assets in foreign companies as of December 31, 2008. As a whole, these companies underperformed the domestic companies held by the Portfolio during 2008.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Davis Advisors' long-term focus usually results in low portfolio turnover. We do not overreact to past short-term performance from individual holdings on either the upside or the downside.

ING JPMORGAN MID CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund (the "Portfolio") seeks growth from capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Jonathan K.L. Simon, Lawrence Playford and Gloria Fu, Portfolio Managers of J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (33.04)% compared to the Russell Midcap® Value Index(1), which returned (38.44)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index due primarily to stock selection in the consumer discretionary and financial sectors, while stock selection in healthcare and energy detracted from results.
A top contributor to performance was Public Storage Inc., ("Public Storage") a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that acquires, develops, owns and operates self-storage facilities in the U.S. and Europe. The company reported better-than-expected rental revenue, combined with an unexpected decline in operating expenses and continued currency gains, which resulted in double-digit growth in net operating income year over year. The company also benefited from increased demand for storage space due to the unfortunate increase in foreclosure activity. Public Storage continued to generate strong cash flow, allowing management to pursue strategic options designed to enhance shareholder value.
AutoZone, Inc., the largest U.S. auto parts retail chain, also was a top contributor to performance, as the company's earnings remained resilient throughout the year, despite a steep downturn in U.S. auto sales. The company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings aided by improved profit margins and sales to the commercial sector. In addition, the company also expanded the number of its stores during the year to capitalize on increasing demand for replacement parts as car owners tried to extend the life of existing cars in this uncertain economic environment.
Alternatively, Coventry Health Care, Inc., the sixth-largest U.S. health insurer by market value, detracted from results throughout the year following profit warnings and a dampened 2008 outlook from major competitors. These announcements sparked a broad sell-off in the managed healthcare sector and fears of a downturn in business fundamentals for the industry. The company would later reduce its 2008 outlook, prompted by higher medical cost trends in its Medicare and commercial risk businesses as well as lower revenue growth expectations. While we believe that the company can pass through a large portion of its higher costs to members, we believe the environment will remain challenged.
Shares of Williams Cos., Inc., a natural gas producer and pipeline company, declined partly in sympathy with the sector due to the sharp drop in energy prices. Further impacting the stock was weaker-than-expected midstream results from disruptions caused by Gulf Coast storms. We believe that the company remains attractive, as the pipeline business provides reliable cash flows while the exploration and production segments continue to increase its reserve base. During the latest earnings release, the company announced that it is exploring options designed to enhanced shareholder value, which has helped to reduce the stock's volatility.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We employ a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing the Portfolio 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
ING Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio is managed by Richard Freeman, Managing Director, Senior Portfolio Manager and Evan Bauman, Managing Director, Portfolio Manager, of ClearBridge Advisors, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (39.21)% 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 (38.44)% and (37.00)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: In 2008, the S&P 500® Index decreased the most since 1937, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 34% for its worst year since 1931. Not only was the decline sharp, but it was extraordinarily broad based, with every sector in the S&P 500® Index down over 15% and more than half of the sectors down over 30% (financials reported the biggest decline, losing 55%). The decline was certainly not limited to the United States as exactly 1 global market out of 69 in the MSCI Indexes rose in 2008 (Tunisia), with 28 national benchmarks losing more than half of their value.
For the year 2008, overall sector allocation made a positive contribution to the Portfolio's relative performance, while overall stock selection detracted from relative performance. Overweight positions in the healthcare and consumer discretionary sectors and an underweight position in the information technology sector helped relative performance. The Portfolio had no significant holdings in the materials or utilities sectors, which also helped performance. An overweight position in the Energy sector detracted from relative performance. The Portfolio had no significant holdings in the consumer staples sector, which also hurt performance during the year.
Stock selection in the healthcare and industrials sectors made positive contributions to Portfolio performance, while stock selection in the financials, information technology, energy and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from performance. Leading individual contributors to Portfolio performance included ImClone Systems, Inc., Amgen, Inc., Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., all in the healthcare sector. Leading individual detractors from performance included Weatherford International Ltd. and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. in the energy sector, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. in the financials sector, and Unitedhealth Group, Inc. in the healthcare sector.
Current Strategy and Outlook: As a forward-looking, discounting mechanism, the equity market tends to discount a recovery many months before the data show improvement. Most importantly, as bottom-up/stock pickers, it will be the success of companies in which we invest to grow their businesses that will drive our results. As we review the holdings within the Portfolio, we feel the risk/reward profile has rarely, if ever, been better. Across industries, we strive to find companies that have the balance sheet strength and defendable business models to grow even during economic weakness and thrive as economies recover. In our view, our biotechnology companies are good examples of this as they use their strong cash and cash flow to develop innovative ways to treat unmet medical needs. We believe the same holds for our energy holdings, currently at historically l ow valuation levels with the ability to grow as they drill in more regions around the world using innovative methods of removing the oil/gas from the ground.

ING NEUBERGER BERMAN PARTNERS PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (51.29)% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned (37.00)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Despite a negative return, the Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500® Index benchmark in the first half of 2008. In the second half of 2008, economic and market conditions deteriorated even further as the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and the ensuing credit crisis turned a smoldering U.S. recession into a serious global economic slowdown. Forced liquidation by highly leveraged hedge funds faced with margin calls and broad based selling by mutual funds to meet rising redemptions further undermined stocks. Due primarily to lagging performance in the energy, materials, and industrials sectors, the Portfolio finished 2008 trailing the S&P 500® Index. Underweights and poor stock selection in healthcare and consumer staples also detracted from relative performance.
The Portfolio was overweight energy and our holdings, primarily oil oriented exploration and production companies and oil services firms, declined sharply as energy prices collapsed in the fourth quarter. Our modest exposure to the major integrated oils, which held up much better as energy prices plummeted also penalized relative returns. Materials sector investments, primarily metals and mining stocks, also under-performed as materials prices cratered in anticipation of the global economic slowdown. Our industrials sector investments were concentrated in secular growth businesses, most notably energy infrastructure. With falling energy prices and constrained infrastructure spending threatening to delay projects, these holdings were hit particularly hard.
We remain constructive on energy because we still believe that over the longer term, demand will outpace supply growth that is constrained by the relatively high decline rates of existing wells, the lack of major new discoveries, the rising cost of exploration and production, and ongoing political instability in major energy producing nations. We make a similar case for materials sector holdings. While demand in emerging market economies (the real underpinning of global materials demand) has slowed temporarily, we believe government stimulus packages and essential infrastructure spending will eventually result in a substantial increase in materials prices from currently depressed levels. Over the intermediate term, the building of refineries, pipelines, liquefied natural gas processing facilities, and power generation plants may temporarily be put on hold. However, when the global economy regains traction, the well positioned portfolio compa nies in these businesses should quickly regain earnings momentum, especially those with a significant percentage of revenue coming from developing nations.
Information technology was our only significant relative performance bright spot. The Portfolio was underweight the sector, and holdings in the sector declined approximately half as much as the corresponding benchmark sector.
Current Strategy and Outlook: It is difficult to predict precisely when the U.S. and global economies will begin to stabilize. However, we note that the November rescue of Citigroup, along with the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board's moves to lower interest rates, promote inter-bank lending and narrow credit spreads is beginning to have a positive impact on the credit markets. Also, in our opinion, we have yet to receive the full benefit of much cheaper energy prices, the equivalent of a major tax break for consumers. Finally, we believe a substantial fiscal stimulus package will be put into effect shortly after President Elect Obama takes office.
While there will certainly be more negative economic headlines, we believe the stage is set for the U.S. and global economies to emerge from recession in the second half of 2009. Traditionally, the stock market has begun anticipating better economic news six to nine months ahead of its arrival. With high quality stocks in most market sectors trading at historically low valuations, we think equities may be poised to begin regaining lost ground in the quarters ahead.
With unprecedented fundamental bargains abounding in the severely depressed energy, materials, and industrials sectors, we feel the Portfolio is well positioned to benefit when the stock market regains traction.

ING OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Oppenheimer Global Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Rajeev Bhaman, Senior Vice President of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (40.55)% compared to the MSCI World IndexSM(1) and the MSCI All Country World IndexSM(2), which returned (40.71)% and (42.19)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The fall out in the sub-prime lending markets cascaded into the broader financial markets, negatively impacting many financial firms around the world. Widespread aversion to risk permeated the markets triggering significant declines, as growing uncertainty in the credit markets depressed investors' confidence across almost every asset dependent on an expected cash flow. Due to this panic, most companies, regardless of their financial stability, saw declines in their stock prices. This has resulted in anomalous behavior in a variety of stocks as weak outperform strong.
Our strategy during the reporting period resulted in materials and financials being the most underweighted sectors, decisions that contributed to relative performance. We underweighted materials because we viewed commodity prices to be unjustifiably inflated. We believed that that double-digit growth rates in industrial production and infrastructure development of commodities was either unsustainable in large emerging markets or would not continue to offset slowdowns in the developed world.
As for financials, the rationale behind our underweight was the belief that the extreme leverage in financial institutions during a period of high stock prices was a recipe for disaster, the risk of which was not well priced into the market.
In information technology we continue to find opportunity and therefore have an overweight in the sector. The information technology companies we choose to invest in have sustainable business models where demand for their products or services become integral to their customers, where the cost of switching is high and the value added to the customer is many times the cost of the product or service.
From a sector perspective, underweights in energy and utilities, and stock selection in consumer discretionary, contributed to the Portfolio's underperformance. While we will not mention all of the year's detracting stocks, it is important to mention Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson ("Ericsson"), our largest holding. Ericsson is the world's leading vendor of mobile telecommunications networks. It enjoys leading market shares in both second and third generation networks and is in an excellent position to be a leader in the fourth generation as well. With the internet going mobile worldwide, the capacity required in these networks is growing manifold and we believe will continue to do so regardless of the rate of economic growth since it has become integral to today's lifestyle. As the market leader with a market share of about 40%, we believe Ericsson is well positioned to take advantage of this rapid growth.
Other holdings which hindered performance during the reporting period included American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"), Technip SA and Credit Suisse Group AG. On the flip side, of our larger holdings, notable successes included Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Gilead Sciences, Inc., and Intuit, Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The Portfolio continues to be diversified across a number of geographies. Currently, just over one-third of the Portfolio is invested in the U.S., a country that we believe remains the largest and most innovative economy in the world, with stocks priced reasonably. Our second largest geographic weight was Japan, a country whose economy is expansive. Many Japanese companies are reputable and have long track records of significant innovations. Likewise, the Portfolio is invested in the U.K. for the same reasons — we believe it is one of the world's most open economies and offers extremely high quality companies. Other large markets that the Portfolio had exposure to at period end were the U.K., Sweden, Germany, and France. While we tend to find more of these high margin businesses in advanced economies rather than in develop ing economies, we are expecting to increase our position in emerging market companies in the upcoming year as their prices are finally coming into an attractive zone.

ING OPPENHEIMER STRATEGIC INCOME PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (16.10)% compared to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index*(1) and the S&P/Citigroup World Government Bond Index(2), which returned 5.24% and 10.89%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio's results lagged that of its benchmark's, primarily due to its relatively heavy allocation to emerging-market currencies and its security selection strategy among high-yield corporate bonds.
Like most other asset classes international bonds, many foreign currencies, and U.S. high yield corporate securities declined substantially when a U.S. credit crunch developed into a full-blow global financial crisis over the summer of 2008. The fall out in the sub-prime lending markets cascaded into the broader financial markets, as uncertainty surrounding the sub-prime debacle made investors risk-averse. This waning confidence spread to other areas of the fixed-income markets, diminishing the value of financial instruments and forcing their holders, primarily highly leveraged banks and institutional investors, to write down or write off a significant portion of their value. In swallowing these losses, several major commercial banks, investment banks, mortgage agencies and insurers became insolvent.
These dramatic developments sparked a "flight to quality" among investors who sold riskier assets in favor of the sovereign debt of developed nations, particularly U.S. Treasury securities. Selling pressure appeared to be indiscriminate as investors rushed for the exits, punishing fundamentally sound investments along with less creditworthy ones. The flight to quality was particularly damaging for securities issued by developing nations, which have been historically volatile. Currencies of emerging markets also suffered as investors flocked toward the traditional safe haven of the U.S. dollar.
The Portfolio proved to be vulnerable to the credit and economic crises due to its longstanding emphasis on currencies from emerging markets, such as Brazil, Mexico, Turkey and Russia. In fact, because we believed that real interest rates in these markets were attractive relative to other nations and their central banks had room to reduce short-term rates, we increased the Portfolio's exposure to the emerging markets in the spring of 2008. However, the timing of this move proved to be unfortunate when the financial crisis intensified over the summer. Some of the markets that previously had been most supportive of the Portfolio's returns, such as Brazil and Russia, became some of the harder hit areas during ensuing market turbulence. On the other hand, Mexico's debt and currency held up relatively well due to its proactive monetary policy, and Turkey benefited from lower oil prices as commodity prices moderated over the second half of the yea r. In the summer, we attempted to manage risks more effectively by shifting some assets from the emerging markets to European bonds and the Japanese yen, which fared relatively well.
An overweight position in commercial mortgage-backed securities proved especially detrimental when these securities declined sharply in the fall amid economic concerns. The Portfolio's performance also was hindered by an underweight position in U.S. government securities.
Current Strategy and Outlook: As of year-end, we have maintained the Portfolio's underweight exposure to high yield bonds and a corresponding emphasis on international bonds and currencies, especially those in emerging markets, where we believe local interest rates have plenty of room to fall. Indeed, we have found a number of opportunities where, in our analysis, currencies have been punished too severely given relatively sound economic fundamentals. Similar value-oriented opportunities appear to be available in the U.S. high yield bond market, where default rates have remained below historical averages. On the other hand, U.S. Treasury securities seem overvalued to us and offer meager opportunities for income.
While we expect economic weakness and volatility in global credit markets to persist, we believe the worst of the downturn's impact on financial assets is probably behind us. Therefore, we have maintained an investment posture designed to earn high levels of current income and participate as fully as we deem prudent in an eventual market rebound. In our view, remaining disciplined and keeping an eye on potential opportunities is key to prudent investing.

ING PIMCO TOTAL RETURN PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 William H. Gross, CFA, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund's Class S shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of (0.28)% compared to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index*(1), which returned 5.24% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio was positioned on the front end of yield curves in certain developed countries outside the U.S., such as the U.K., where we felt that the market had not fully priced in a slowdown. This paid off as markets began to price in rate cuts by global central banks.
In the U.S. and the U.K., the Portfolio was positioned for yield curve steepening which added to returns. Though we added to the Portfolio's corporate positioning, we stayed underweight throughout the year. As spreads ballooned, this was a source of outperformance.
As the financial system de-levered, large institutions sold their most liquid assets to raise cash; in many cases, their most liquid assets were agency mortgage-backed securities. An overweight to agency mortgage-backed securities detracted from returns as spreads on agency mortgages widened to well over 200 basis points (or 2.00%) over Treasuries. When Bear Stearns was taken over by JPMorgan with government assistance in March, we saw opportunities in banks under the umbrella of the federal government, banks that we felt were "too intertwined to fail." One of the financials, unfortunately, stood outside this umbrella; as a result, it was a significant detractor from portfolio performance. Our overweight to financials and security selection within that sector hurt performance as well. The swap spread curve inverted in August of last year. Since then, the inversion has grown larger, culminating in September with two-year swap spreads reaching near 160 basis points (or 1.60%) and 30-year swap spreads turning negative. We've been positioned since late last year for a re-steepening of the swap spread curve. In October of this year as LIBOR fell sharply, we began to see the positive effects of this trade where the portfolio is long the front-end of swap curves and short the back-end. In November, 30-year swap spreads dipped sharply negative, falling as low as negative 60 basis points (or 0.60%). This was one of the material detractors to portfolio performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: In 2009, we believe pressures of global deleveraging will drive developed economies into one of the most severe recessions since World War II. We believe conditions should improve by 2010 as policy responses in the U.S. and elsewhere gain traction. Recovery of risk appetites in financial markets will be a leading indicator for recovery. As the global economy weakens into 2009, we will likely place less emphasis on interest rate strategies and more on high grade sectors/securities that offer unusually attractive valuations after the massive selling of the last several months. Our approach over the next year will likely be to avoid assets such as Treasuries that have benefitted from the flight to liquidity associated with global deleveraging. In our opinion, U.S. Treasuries are now overvalued. We might seek to own assets that hav e been victims of the economic crisis but that can be expected to benefit from policy support. These assets include high quality mortgage-backed securities, bonds of financial companies, treasury inflation protected securities ("TIPs") and municipal bonds. We will likely also shun assets that have been victims of the crisis but have no policy support, such as all but the highest quality emerging market bonds.

ING PIONEER HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Pioneer High Yield Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize total return through income and capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Andrew Feltus and Tracy Wright, Portfolio Managers, Pioneer Investment Management, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (29.27)% compared to the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index(1) and the Merrill Lynch Convertible Bonds (Speculative Quality) Index(2), which returned (26.39)% and (42.85)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio's underperformance occurred primarily in the fourth quarter of 2008, and more specifically in December, amid frozen credit markets, forced deleveraging by hedge funds and collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), and perhaps the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. The high yield market suffered its worst performance ever, declining 17.6% in the fourth quarter, as spreads widened to highs of almost 2200 basis points (or 22.00%) over treasuries, 1000 basis points (or 10.00%) higher than their prior wides, and ended at 1812 basis points (or 18.12)% over treasuries. In December, the market rallied 7.47%; 44% or 3.3% of that performance reflected a 79% return on auto loans, which rose upon the extension of government loans to GMAC and the auto original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). The primary factor affecti ng December performance was the Portfolio's significant underweight to auto loans. In addition, our significant 12% overweight to capital goods hurt performance. Our allocation to convertible debt and preferred and common equity also detracted from performance, as convertibles and the S&P 500® Index rallied only 3.4% and 1.1%, respectively. The common equity portfolio contributed to performance, due to strong security selection. Finally, cash investments made in the Portfolio throughout the fourth quarter helped performance, as they mitigated negative high yield returns.
In 2008, our performance was hurt by our equity-linked exposure, which averaged approximately 27% of the Portfolio, as convertibles and the S&P 500® Index returned (43.00%) and (37.00%), respectively, and our common equity portfolio underperformed the S&P 500® Index. Our higher quality fixed income allocation helped performance, as higher quality high yield outperformed: BBs returned (19.00%), Bs returned (28.00%), while CCCs posted a (38.00%) return. In addition, the cash investments made into the Portfolio, which increased the net Portfolio size from $111 million to $280 million at year end, helped performance throughout the year, especially in the second half of 2008. Sector allocation in our fixed-income portfolio hurt 2008 performance; the benefit of our underweight to media and overweight to capital goods was more than offset by the negative impact of our overweight to real estate and finance and i nvestments and underweight to telecom. Securities that helped performance during the year included the common stock of heart device manufacturer, Thoratec Corp. and Annaly Capital Management, Inc.; convertibles of "smart" utility meter manufacturer, ESCO Technologies, Inc. and bonds of BF Saul REIT and NRG Energy, Inc. Securities that detracted from performance included Washington Mutual preferred, Lyondell Chemical Co. bonds, General Growth Properties, Inc. and Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. convertibles and the common equity of Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., refiners Valero Energy Corp. and Tesoro Corp., and BE Aerospace, Inc.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe high yield valuations are compelling. Although high yield spreads have recently tightened over 400 basis points (or 4.00%) to their current levels of 1665 basis points (or 16.65%), even at these levels investors are being compensated for an estimated 17% implied default rate, compared to our 12-month forecast of 8% to 9%, and the 20 year high in June,1991 of 13%. We believe the convertible bond market also offers significant value. Certain convertible bonds are trading at dramatic discounts (and higher yields) than their straight debt equivalents, often enabling us to receive the equity optionality of the convert for free. We continue to believe that the high yield strategy of investing across the capital structure in high yield loans, bonds, convertibles, and common equity, enables investors to achieve superior retu rns and capture more upside potential compared to investing in a straight high yield bond portfolio. We may increase our convertibles exposure going forward, given attractive valuations in that market, with a corresponding decrease in our common equity exposure, to control overall volatility of the Portfolio. We will maintain our current sector positioning, with an overweight to capital goods and underweight to consumer cyclicals and media, and will seek to add value primarily through security selection.

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, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (43.27)% compared to the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") MidCap 400 Index(1) and the Russell Midcap® Growth Index(2), which returned (36.23)% and (44.32)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: In a difficult economic environment in which mid-cap growth underperformed most other investment styles, the Portfolio outpaced the Russell Midcap® Growth Index. Broadly speaking, the outperformance was due to stock selection. Industrials and business services, information technology, and healthcare were positive contributors, while energy detracted.
Stock selection in industrials and business services was the primary contributor. Strong holdings included Landstar System, Inc. ("Landstar") and Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers, Inc. ("Ritchie Bros."). Transportation and logistics service provider Landstar was among many firms to benefit from the recent decline in fuel costs. Ritchie Bros. is an auctioneer of industrial equipment that has seen increased business as companies have viewed the downturn as an opportunity to make capital investments cheaply. Anticipated increases in global demand for industrial equipment as various nations seek to stimulate their economies through infrastructure projects should also help the company.
Our stock choices in information technology were another area of strength. We did well to limit our exposure to firms involved with semi-conductors, as they were particularly hard-hit this year. On the positive side, our holdings in automated fingerprint identification system provider Cogent, Inc. proved productive. The company is relatively insulated from the economic downturn, as most of its end users are government agencies. Accordingly, it was able to maintain its earnings forecasts at a time when many companies have been forced to revise them downward.
An overweight to healthcare was another significant contributor. Our strategic stance of overweighting biotechnology proved especially beneficial for the period. Important holdings here included Celgene Corp. ("Celgene") and Myriad Genetics, Inc. ("Myriad"). Celgene continued to see promising results in clinical trials for drugs designed to treat cancer and immune-inflammatory related diseases, while Myriad announced that it would spin off its drug development business in order to focus on its core competency of diagnostics.
Energy was the leading detractor, due both to a detrimental underweight and weak stock selection. Energy prices plummeted from record highs in the second half of the year, in response to the global economic slowdown. Poor performance here stemmed in part from our lack of exposure to natural gas-oriented firms, as natural gas held up better than other fuel sources. Coal was particularly hard-hit, and coal-producing holdings like Peabody Energy Corp. and Massey Energy Co. suffered. Massey's business was doubly hurt, as it mines coal specifically for use in electricity production and metallurgy, and the recessionary environment has depressed demand for both.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our outlook has not changed in the last six months. We believe that the era of easy credit, reckless risk taking, and financial excess is over and we are now facing the consequences of that excess. Credit standards are likely to be tighter than normal and investors could remain risk averse for some time. As a result, we anticipate that economic and financial market performance in the period ahead will be more challenging than in the last few years.
As our longer-term investors know, we do not make investment decisions predicated on economic forecasts, nor do we attempt to time the markets. We are comfortable with the composition of the Portfolio and, as mentioned earlier, we believe the current risk-averse environment is one in which our investment strategy will do well relative to others. We remain committed to finding, buying, and holding what we believe are attractively valued, high-quality mid-cap growth companies with good business models, strong managements, and favorable long-term prospects.

ING T. ROWE PRICE GROWTH EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 Bartolo, Portfolio Manager of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares, provided a total return of (42.21)% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned (37.00)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection was the overwhelming reason for relative underperformance by the Portfolio. Significantly underweighting financials helped relative performance. Consumer discretionary, energy, and consumer staples sectors were the leading relative detractors.
Favorable substantial underweighting of financials led to Portfolio outperformance in the declining economy. Performance also benefited from avoiding several major companies, including Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, and American International Group that suffered huge losses due to the credit crunch.
Stock selection in consumer discretionary was the leading cause of the Portfolio's underperformance. The hotels, restaurants, and leisure industry weighed heavily on results. Gaming holdings such as Las Vegas Sands Corp. and International Game Technology notably disappointed. In past downturns, gaming stocks have typically held up better than other groups in this sector, but this time the restricted access to capital undercut company development efforts. With consumer belt-tightening, online travel agent Expedia, Inc. saw a significant drop in business.
Energy was a major source of weakness on stock selection. The Portfolio's oil services holdings were hard hit, as exploration activity became less attractive in the face of dropping energy prices. Schlumberger Ltd. declined on leveraging exploration spending, and on economic problems in Russia, where it has significant exposure. Smith International, Inc. saw sharply decreasing revenues and margins from its major exposure in North America, but the company is poised for a rebound in exploration, particularly in deepwater drilling. Underweighting ExxonMobil Corp. hurt as the company has outperformed many energy firms. In a period of falling oil prices, the large integrated energy companies outperform because they are less leveraged to the price of oil.
Underweighting and stock selection combined for detrimental relative results in consumer staples, which was the best performer in the S&P 500® Index. Significantly overweighting healthcare was advantageous for the Portfolio, but was more than offset by unfavorable stock selection.
U.S. stocks plunged deep into bear market territory in 2008, as the economy went into its first recession since 2001. The year was marked by extreme volatility, heightened risk aversion, and intense pressures on financial companies stemming from severe mortgage losses and a credit crunch. Commodity prices tumbled, and the materials sector was the second-worst performer in the index. Consumer staples and healthcare were comparatively better performing sectors in the index, as consumer demand in these sectors is generally less affected by an economic downturn.
Current Strategy and Outlook: While many hope that the worst of the market volatility has run its course, we believe it is very likely that markets will continue to be challenging. Our objective is to identify high-quality large-cap growth companies with what we believe are strong fundamentals and attractive valuations. Amid tempered growth prospects, we see opportunities to invest in companies that we have been monitoring whose valuations and fundamentals are, in our opinion, compelling. We believe that market fears and indiscriminate selling due to forced liquidations can lead to prices becoming disconnected from fundamentals, presenting significant buying opportunities.
The Portfolio remains notably cautious and underweight in financials. Energy is also underweight. Despite the recent strong performance of consumer staples stocks, we believe that heavy investor inflows to this defensive sector have inflated valuations and we do not find attractive long-term growth opportunities here. Healthcare continues notably overweight against the S&P 500® Index, although limited to key industries. Information technology remains overweight, as the sector affords opportunities for investing in strong long-term growth companies.

ING TEMPLETON FOREIGN EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital growth. The Portfolio is managed by Gary P. Motyl, Cindy L. Sweeting, Antonio T. Docal and Peter A. Nori of Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC, — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (40.72)% compared to Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") All Country World ex U.S. IndexSM(1) and the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East® ("EAFE") Index(2), which returned (45.53)% and (43.38)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The year 2008 was unusually difficult for most investors. At period-end, all major gauges of stock market performance had registered double-digit negative returns. No main region, country or sector was spared in the dramatic stock market sell-off triggered by the global financial crisis and slowing economic growth or recessionary environments.
The financials sector suffered most, erasing more than half of its entire market capitalization during the year. But financials were not alone; they were followed closely by materials-related stocks. The materials and energy sectors, which were the only sectors to have positive returns during the first half of the year, experienced an abrupt reversal. With virtually no safe haven in the global market downturn, the healthcare, utilities and consumer staples sectors lived up to their "defensive" reputations and declined less in value than other sectors.
For the Portfolio, stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector and our underweighting in consumer staples compared to the benchmark hurt relative performance. Also, underweighting and stock selection in utilities hindered results.
The U.S. dollar appreciated versus most foreign currencies for the year, which also hurt the Portfolio's performance because investments in securities with non-U.S. currency exposure lost value as the dollar rose.
On a positive note, the Portfolio performed better than the benchmark index for the year because of several factors. During the review period, our research indicated most chemicals companies were overvalued as were many in the metals and mining industry. As a result, the Portfolio maintained little or no exposure to these areas and was significantly underweighted in the materials sector relative to the benchmark. Although the Portfolio's underweighted exposure to materials stocks hurt relative Portfolio performance during the first half of the year, the sector was a key contributor in 2008 due to a sharp correction in the second half of the year. In addition, stock selection in the materials and energy sectors boosted relative performance.
We believe the Portfolio's relatively better result in the financials sector was another affirmation of our investment philosophy. The lofty multiples, balance sheet opacity and dubious earnings quality of many investment banks and brokerages steered us away from the industry's most-leveraged segments, and despite absolute losses from our sector holdings, our underweighted exposure helped relative Portfolio performance. Although the Portfolio's healthcare holdings, like everything else, were down in absolute terms in 2008, our bottom-up-based decision to overweight the sector also contributed to the Portfolio's relative performance during the year.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Looking beyond the turbulence of 2008, we continue to manage the Portfolio as always — with a focus on the longer term.
One area of continued conviction for us where our investment thesis had yet to materialize was the health care sector. The Portfolio's overweighted allocation to healthcare evolved over a time when the consensus view was that pharmaceutical companies faced a difficult pricing environment, political headwinds and insurmountable competition from cheaper generics. However, we saw bargain valuations, high free cash-flow yields, and the implications of aging global demographics for revenue growth.
Our overweighted telecommunication services sector position was another contrarian call. By purchasing telecommunication stocks when they were out of favor in the wake of the technology, media and telecommunications bubble, we were able to invest in companies that we felt had solid balance sheets, desirable products, and a growing global presence at largely discounted prices.
While we invested in some financial company stocks we saw as well-capitalized, we remained cautious of the sector. In addition, we continued to monitor the materials sector closely, seeking proper re-entry points, but as of period-end we had yet to find compelling valuations in the materials sector, in general.

ING THORNBURG VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Thornburg Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by William V. Fries, CFA, Managing Director, Edward Maran, CFA, Managing Director and Connor Browne, CFA, Managing Director, all of Thornburg Investment Management ("Thornburg") — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (39.75)% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), which returned (37.00)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Of all stocks owned during the year, only around one-fifth contributed positively to performance. These included basic value stocks Apache Corp.("Apache"), JetBlue Airways Corp. ("Jet Blue Airways"), and recent purchases ACE Ltd.("Ace"), Cincinnati Financial Corp.("Cincinnati Financial"), and Swiss Reinsurance ("Swiss Re") along with consistent earners Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech"), Gilead Sciences, Inc. ("Gilead Sciences"), DirecTV Group, Inc. ("DirecTV"), and Visa, Inc. ("Visa"). Visa and Apache were sold at price targets during the year. Notably, we experienced positive results in our financial services names relative to the benchmark as the fundamentals for the insurers such as ACE , Cincinnati Financial, and Swiss Re were not as bad as some investors had feared. For ACE and Swiss Re, reinsurance pricing and asset quality remain sol id. Cincinnati Financial maintains a diversified portfolio of financial stocks on its balance sheet and, in our opinion, has a strong balance sheet. Healthcare stocks were another area of relative strength. Gilead Sciences benefited from a steady customer base and strong execution of its business model. Unfortunately HIV/AIDS is a growing problem worldwide, but Gilead Sciences' products are helping to improve life expectancy and quality of life for victims of that disease. Travel related stocks such as JetBlue Airways rebounded on the back of lower oil prices late in the year.
The stocks which hurt portfolio performance tended to be highly financially levered. Las Vegas Sands Corp., Rite Aid Corp. ("Rite Aid"), Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Level 3 Communications, Inc., and Crown Castle International were all among the leading detractors and had significant debt on their balance sheets. WellPoint Inc.("WellPoint"), Dell, Inc. ("Dell") and CME Group, Inc. ("CME Group") were bottom underperformers also, but do not have a heavy debt burden. Rather, specific business disappointments were more at play with these holdings. WellPoint suffered lower underwriting margins when the company underestimated the cost of medical services that it had already contracted to provide its customers. Dell reduced its fourth quarter guidance and indicated that global demand for PC's would be slower than anticipated for 2009. Management is taking steps to accelerate growth in faster growing economies. The CME Group experienced a rapid reduction within their derivatives volumes due to the lack of hedging activities that are common with normally functioning credit markets. We sold other poor performers during the year, particularly in financial services — American International Group ("AIG"), Freddie Mac, Wachovia and UBS — and believe we did a reasonably good job exercising our risk management. Our stock selection under consumer staples was particularly weak as Rite Aid not only suffered from the high debt load acquired with the Jean Coutu acquisition during 2006 but also from heightened economic sensitivity to the front end of their stores (we underestimated this risk). At this point, we feel the share price of Rite Aid may recover at some point under a better credit market environment and believe that management can still execute on the merger strategy. Overall, our underweight within consumer staples was the largest detractor from a sector allocation perspective.
Current Strategy and Outlook: In this challenging environment we are executing the same investment philosophy and approach that has proven successful over the long-term. In December, our performance improved relative to the benchmark, with contributions coming from a number of areas (financials, healthcare, industrials, and telecom). We continue to seek promising companies at a discount and attempt to buy them when they are out of favor. Our basket approach provides the Portfolio with a spectrum of opportunities as well as diversification. In our "consistent earners" basket, we own stocks that we believe will prove more resilient than the average U.S. stock in a tough environment. Within our "basic value" and "emerging franchise" baskets we invest in those companies that we believe should lead when investors believe the U.S. and global economies will eventu ally recover.

ING UBS U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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") consisting of Thomas Cole, Head of N.A. Equities Team, Research Director and Managing Director, John Leonard, Thomas Digenan and Scott Hazen, Portfolio Managers for North American Equities of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (39.76)% 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 (37.00)% and (37.60)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: 2008 proved to be a challenging year, as heightened risk aversion, an ongoing credit crunch, forced selling by highly leveraged investors and a lack of liquidity led to poor performance in the global equity markets. In addition, there were periods of extreme volatility and sectors moving in and out of favor. For example, energy and materials were the only positive performing S&P 500® sectors during the first half of the year, only to significantly decline and underperform the overall market as the year progressed. During the dramatic sell-off in the fourth quarter of 2008, panic selling ensued and more defensive sectors, including consumer staples and healthcare, generated some of the best relative results.
Turning to the Portfolio, it performed in line with its benchmark during the first half of the year. Over that time, overall strong stock selection was offset by underweights in the energy and materials sectors and an overweight in the financials sector. Performance improved markedly during the third quarter of the year, as our energy and materials underweights were rewarded as these sectors lagged given sharply falling oil and commodity prices. In addition, our overweights in the financials, healthcare and consumer discretionary sectors were positive contributors to relative results.
The Portfolio underperformed in the fourth quarter, more than offsetting the outperformance in the first nine months of the year, and culminating in underperformance for the full calendar year. An underweight to consumer staples, combined with an overweight to financials and consumer discretionary (particularly auto parts), detracted from results at the sector level. These positions more than offset the positive impact of being overweight utilities and pharmaceuticals while underweight the poorly performing materials sector.
Security selection detracted from results in a number of sectors, but most notably in energy, where we did not own ExxonMobil Corp. ("ExxonMobil"), and telecom services, where owning Sprint Nextel Corp. while not owning Verizon Communications, Inc. had a negative impact. Unlike most energy stocks, ExxonMobil posted positive absolute returns in the fourth quarter as many investors viewed it to be a safe haven in this period of panic due to the large amount of cash on its balance sheet.
Current Strategy and Outlook: It is our belief that the U.S. equity market is currently undervalued. In addition, we feel that there is a large gap between the most and least attractive areas of the market. Given these views, we believe the Portfolio is well positioned going forward. In particular, we currently have an underweight in consumer staples and have reduced our overweights to healthcare and utilities, as we don't find these sectors to be as attractive given their relative outperformance in recent months. In contrast, we have added to positions in energy and materials as they now appear to be attractively valued given their decline during the second half of the year. Elsewhere, we are overweight consumer discretionary and modestly overweight financials given a number of what we believe to be compelling opportunities we have identified in these sect ors.

ING VAN KAMPEN COMSTOCK PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Van Kampen Comstock Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks capital growth and income. The Portfolio is managed by B. Robert Baker, Jr., CFA, Managing Director, Jason Leder, Managing Director, Kevin Holt, Managing Director, Devin E. Armstrong, CFA, Vice President and James N. Warwick, Executive Director of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc., d/b/a "Van Kampen" — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares, provided a total return of (36.48)% 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 (36.85)% and (37.00)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Fear and a major loss of investor confidence drove the stock market to one of its worst years in history. With stock and bond prices in a downward spiral and global recession imminent, risk aversion intensified and investors fled to cash and Treasuries. Stock market volatility registered extreme levels, leaving investors no escape from declining values. In this environment, both value stocks (in which the Portfolio invests) and growth stocks sustained negative returns, as did all segments of the market capitalization spectrum. Every sector of the market finished the year with double-digit declines.
Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index ("the Index"), the Portfolio was bolstered primarily by an overweight in the consumer staples sector, and stock selection. Although the sector had a negative absolute return during the period, it sustained smaller declines than other areas of the market, owing to its "defensiveness," or lower sensitivity to economic conditions. An underweight in the industrials sector and stock selection in the telecommunication services sector also benefited relative results. Finally, the Portfolio's cash position also contributed favorably to relative performance, as it reduced the Portfolio's exposure to the market's decline, whereas the Russell 1000® Value Index holds no cash.
The chief detractor from relative performance was the Portfolio's significant underweight in energy stocks. Very few energy stocks have looked attractive to us, even with oil prices falling dramatically in recent months, as energy companies for the most part have not yet had to adjust to the less robust economic scenario. The Portfolio's minimal exposure to the utilities sector was another area of relative weakness.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to position the Portfolio from a bottom-up basis, selecting stocks that we believe have reasonable valuations relative to our assessment of fair value. At period-end, over 45 percent of the Portfolio's investment portfolio was held in what we believe to be high quality, yet undervalued growth companies exhibiting attractive future prospects and a healthy free cash flow. Many "cyclical" stocks (those in more economically sensitive sectors such as energy and industrials) still appear unattractive by our risk-reward standards. The financials sector remained the largest sector weight, broadly diversified across banks, brokerage and insurance stocks. In the healthcare sector, given the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") more conservative stance, we are carefully evaluating the Portfolio's exposure to potential regula tory surprises.

ING VAN KAMPEN EQUITY AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
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 Thomas Bastian, Steven Kreider, James Roeder, Sergio Marcheli, Mark Laskin, Sanjay Verma and Mary Jayne Maly* of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Inc., d/b/a "Van Kampen" — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class S shares provided a total return of (23.56)% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index(2), Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index**(3) and the Composite Index(4) (60% Russell 1000® Value Index/40% Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index), which returned (36.85)%, 5.70% and (21.80)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: All sectors in the Russell 1000® Value Index had negative absolute returns for the period, although the same was true for the Portfolio. On a relative basis, the Portfolio lost less value than the Russell 1000® Value Index. Specifically, stock selection in the financial services sector was a positive contributor to relative performance. The Portfolio had better relative performance in diversified financial services, due to a holding that was more resilient than many of its peers because of its lower sub-prime mortgage exposure, and in property and casualty insurance. An overweight position in the consumer staples sector was another positive relative contributor, due to a food and staples retailer that benefited from prudent inventory management and scaling down its growth strategy. Stock selection in the ma terials sector helped the Portfolio sidestep some of the sector's volatility. The Portfolio avoided exposure to the heavily commodity-oriented companies that declined strongly when commodity prices began to fall and instead owned a gold mining company which held up better than its peers in the difficult environment.
In contrast, the Portfolio's underweight positions in the energy and utilities sectors were relative detractors. Although the sectors had negative returns for the period, they were among the better performing sectors in the Russell 1000® Value Index. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector was an area of weakness, as retail holdings were hurt by falling consumer spending and media holdings saw declining advertising revenues.
In the fixed-income portfolio, the primary detractor from performance relative to the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index was an overweight to asset-backed securities backed by home equity loans (a segment not represented in the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index). Unfortunately, as a result of the sub-prime crisis, all mortgage-related securities have suffered price declines this year. However, the Portfolio's yield curve positioning was beneficial during the 12-month period. For the first half of 2008, we underweighted longer dated issues and overweighted intermediate dated issues, a strategy that helped enhance returns as the spread between intermediate- and long-dated yields widened and the curve steepened. The Portfolio maintained an underweight corporate credit position relative to the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Index for most of the reporting period, which also boosted performance as credit spreads widened significantly during the period, causing prices to decline. The Portfolio's convertible securities allocation detracted from performance for the period.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The turmoil of the past year has not changed our underlying investment philosophy or our stock selection process. We continue to seek undervalued companies that are experiencing a positive change or catalyst that we believe should have a positive impact on the stock valuation. Such catalysts could be new company management, growth or consolidation within an industry or sector, or new products. As a result of this process, during the year, the Portfolio's financials and energy weightings increased. The consumer staples weighting declined as we pared down good performing holdings that no longer fit our risk-return profile. The Portfolio's top five sectors as of the end of the period were financials, healthcare, consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and energy. The Portfolio held approximately 60% in equities, 23% in fixed inc ome, and 11.5% in convertible securities at period-end.

Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period'' to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section of the table shown, "Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)," 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
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" or "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, a "Portfolio" and collectively, the "Portfolios"), each of which has its own investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Fund serves as an investment option in underlying variable insurance products offered by Directed Services LLC ("DSL" or the "Investment Adviser").
The Fund currently consists of thirty-six Portfolios of which nineteen diversified Portfolios and one non-diversified Portfolio are included in this report. The Portfolios are: ING American Century Large Company Value Portfolio ("American Century Large Company Value"); ING American Century Small-Mid Cap Value Portfolio ("American Century Small-Mid Cap Value"); ING Baron Asset Portfolio ("Baron Asset"); ING Baron Small Cap Growth Portfolio ("Baron Small Cap Growth"); ING Columbia Small Cap Value II Portfolio ("Columbia Small Cap Value II"); ING Davis New York Venture Portfolio ("Davis New York Venture") formerly, ING Davis Venture Value Portfolio; ING JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Portfolio ("JPMorgan Mid Cap Value"); ING Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth Portfolio ("Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth"); ING Neuberger Berman Partners Portfolio ("Neuberger Berman Partners"); ING Oppenheimer Global Portfolio ("Oppenheimer Global"); ING Oppenhei mer Strategic Income Portfolio ("Oppenheimer Strategic Income"); ING PIMCO Total Return Portfolio ("PIMCO Total Return"); ING Pioneer High Yield Portfolio ("Pioneer High Yield"); ING T.

The Fund offers three classes of shares, referred to as Adviser Class (Class "ADV"), Initial Class (Class "I") and Service Class (Class "S"). 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. Common expenses of the Portfolios (including custodial asset-based fees,
81
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION (continued)
legal and audit fees, printing and mailing expenses, transfer agency out-of-pocket expenses, and fees and expenses of the independent trustees) are allocated to each Portfolio in proportion to its average net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a particular portfolio (including advisory, administration, custodial transaction-based, registration, other professional, distribution and/or service fees, certain taxes, and offering costs) are charged directly to that Portfolio. Dividends are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized gain distributions are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fee, if applicable. Class I shares are intended for distribution networks incl uding non-qualified annuity and life insurance contracts and qualified retirement plans offered through an annuity contract, as well as qualified retirement plans offered through a custodial account where the sale is made on a direct basis without the involvement of a financial intermediary or where the qualified retirement plan has assets of $50 million or more. Class S and Class ADV shares of a Portfolio are intended for distribution networks including qualified retirement plans offered through an annuity contract or custodial account. Shareholders of the Class I shares of each Portfolio will generally be entitled to exchange those shares at net asset value ("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.
DSL, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser to the Portfolios. ING Funds Distributor, LLC ("IFD" or the "Distributor") serves as the principal underwriter to the Portfolios. DSL and IFD are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. ("ING Groep"). ING Groep is a global financial institution of Dutch origin offering banking, investments, life insurance and retirement services to over 75 million private, corporate and institutional clients in more than 50 countries. With a diverse workforce of about 125,000 people, ING Groep comprises a broad spectrum of prominent companies that increasingly serve their clients under the ING brand.
On October 19, 2008, ING Groep announced that it reached an agreement with the Dutch government to strengthen its capital position, creating a strong buffer to navigate the current market and economic environment. ING Groep will issue non-voting core Tier-1 securities for a total consideration of EUR 10 billion to the Dutch State. The transaction boosts ING Bank's core Tier-1 ratio, strengthens the insurance balance sheet and reduces ING Groep's Debt/Equity ratio.
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 defined by the 1940 Act, and 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
82
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that a Portfolio calculates its NAV may also be valued at their fair values, as defined by the Act, and as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. The valuation techniques applied in any specific instance are likely to vary from case to case. With respect to a restricted security, for example, consideration is generally given to the cost of the investment, the market value of any unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of valuation, the potential expiration of restrictions on the security, the existence of any registration rights, the costs to the Portfolios related to registration of the security, as well as factors relevant to the issuer itself. Consideration may also be given to the price and extent of any public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable com panies' securities. If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by a Portfolio closes but before the time that a Portfolio's NAV is calculated, such event may cause the closing price on the foreign exchange to not represent a readily available reliable market value quotation for such securities at the time a 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 se rvice may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Portfolio calculates its NAV. There can be no assurance that such models accurately reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of such markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that 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 occu rred 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 quotations 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 a Portfolio's NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less from date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
Effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements", establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Portfolios is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as "Level 1", inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as "Level 2" and unobservable inputs, including the sub-adviser's judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as "Level 3". The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A tabl e summarizing the Portfolios' investments under these levels of classification is included following the Portfolios of Investments.
Effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 133-1 and FASB Interpretation Number ("FIN") 45-4, "Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161." The amendments to FAS 133 require enhanced disclosure regarding credit derivatives sold, including (1) the nature and terms of the credit derivative, reasons for entering into the credit
83
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, (2) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative, (3) the fair value of the credit derivative, and (4) the nature of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. The amendments to FIN 45 require additional disclosures about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. All changes to accounting policies have been made in accordance with the FSP and incorporated for the current period as part of the Notes to Financial Statements and Portfolio of Investments.
B. Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Portfolios do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities' current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or loss es realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the 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. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on their non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward currency contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily and a Portfolio's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations. These instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates. Open forward foreign currency contracts are presented following the Portfolio of Investments.
84
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
E. Futures Contracts. 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 variati on margins and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by a 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. Futures contracts are subject to market, credit and counterparty risk occasionally in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
F. 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.
G. 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. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios' tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired.
H. 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.
I. 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 a 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 a Portfolio in the event a Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
J. 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 a Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. A 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 investi ng in a Portfolio.
K. Illiquid and Restricted Securities. The Portfolios may not invest more than 15% of their net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are not readily
85
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
marketable. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve time consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for the Portfolios to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. The Portfolios may also invest in restricted securities, which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Certain restricted securities may be considered liquid pursuant to guidelines approved by the Board or may be deemed to be illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. Illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value, as defined by the Act, determined under proc edures approved by the Board.
L. When-Issued and 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 Portfo lios' custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.
M. Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. Certain Portfolios may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In a dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker/dealer, and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon, and maturity) security from the institution on a delayed delivery basis at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories . The Portfolios account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales. For fee based dollar roll transactions, the fee is recorded as income.
N. Options Contracts. Certain Portfolios may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. 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. An amount equal to the proceeds of the premium received by the Portfolios upon the writing of a put or call option is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and equivalent liability which is subsequently marked-to-market until it is exercised or closed, or it expires. The Portfolios will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales of the underlying security for a written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on option contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The risk in writing a covered 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.
O. Swap Agreements. Certain Portfolios may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). The swap agreement will specify the "notional" amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. Subsequent changes in market value, if any, are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference
86
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
multiplied by the notional value of the contract. A Portfolio may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and currency swaps to manage its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risk. All outstanding swap agreements are reported following each Portfolio's Portfolio of Investments.
Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from third party pricing services, counterparties or brokers. The value of the swap contract is recorded on each Portfolio's Statements of Assets or Liabilities. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap, if any, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. Upfront payments paid or received by a Portfolio when entering into the agreements are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of the changes in unrealized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations. These upfront payments represent the amounts paid or received when initially entering into the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and the prevailing market conditions. The upfront payments are included as a component in the realized gains or losses on each Portfolio's Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A Portfolio also records net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations.
Entering into swap agreements involves the risk that the maximum potential loss of an investment exceeds the current value of the investment as reported on each Portfolio's Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other risks involve the possibility that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there will be no liquid market for these investments and that unfavorable changes in the market will have a negative impact on the value of the index or securities underlying the respective swap agreement.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral agreement between counterparties in which the buyer of the protection agrees to make a stream of periodic payments to the seller of protection in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for a referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swaps, a Portfolio will generally receive from the buyer a fixed payment stream based on the notional amount of the swap contract. This fixed payment stream will continue until the swap contract expires or a defined credit event occurs.
A Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. As a seller of protection in a credit default swap, a Portfolio may execute these contracts to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market. Certain Portfolios may also enter into credit default swaps to speculate on changes in an issuer's credit quality, to take advantage of perceived spread advantages, or to offset an existing short equivalent (i.e. buying protection on an equivalent reference entity).
Certain Portfolios may sell credit default swaps which expose these Portfolios to the risk of loss from credit risk- related events specified in the contract. Although contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default or repudiation/moratorium. If a Portfolio is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will generally either (i) pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index. If a Portfolio is a buye r of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has
87
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed in each Portfolio's Portfolio of Investment and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit so undness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2008, for which a Portfolio is seller of protection are disclosed in each Portfolio's Portfolio of Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreements, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap involves the agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One payment will be based on a floating rate of a specified interest rate while the other will be a fixed rate. Risks involve the future fluctuations of interest rates in which a Portfolio may make payments that are greater than what a Portfolio received from the counterparty. Other risks include credit, liquidity and market risk.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap involves the agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on an asset (such as a basket of securities) or non-asset (such as an index) reference. The periodic payments or cash flows, are usually based on the non-asset reference versus the total return or the asset-based reference. The asset-based reference generally includes unrealized appreciation or depreciation and to the extent that the total return falls short of or exceeds the non-asset reference, a Portfolio will make or receive a payment to the counterparty. Risks of total return swaps include credit, liquidity and market risks.
Currency Swaps. A currency swap involves the agreement between counterparties to exchange two different currencies at contract inception at the prevailing spot rate, and to reverse the exchange at a later agreed upon termination date. The currency exchange at termination may take place at the original exchange rate, an agreed upon exchange rate or the prevailing spot rate on the date of termination. The contract may also include periodic interest payments based on a specified interest rate. Risks related to currency swaps include, but are not limited to, credit, liquidity, market, and exchange rate fluctuations.
Certain Portfolios are party to International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements"). These agreements are with select counterparties and they govern transactions, including certain over-the counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts, entered into by the Portfolios and the counterparty. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement.
P. Structured Products. Certain Portfolios invest in structured products which are specially-designed derivative investments whose principal payments or interest payments are linked to the performance of underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices, prices

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or the occurrence of other specific events. The terms and conditions of these products may be 'structured' by the purchaser (a Portfolio) and the borrower issuing the note. The market value of these products will increase or decrease based on the performance of the underlying asset or reference. A Portfolio records the net change in the market value of the structured product on the accompanying Statements of Operations as a change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. A Portfolio records a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations upon the sale or maturity of the structured product.
Q. Event-Linked Bonds. Oppenheimer Strategic Income invests in event-linked bonds, which are fixed income securities for which the return of principal and payment of interest is contingent on the non-occurrence of a specific trigger event, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or other occurrence that leads to physical or economic loss. If the specific trigger event occurs prior to maturity of the event-linked bond, the Portfolio may lose all or a portion of its principal in addition to interest otherwise due from the bond. Event-linked bonds may expose the Portfolio to certain other risks, including issuer default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, liquidity risk and adverse tax consequences. The Portfolio records the net change in the market value of the bonds on th e accompanying Statements of Operations as a change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The Portfolio records a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations upon the sale or maturity of the event-linked bond.
R. Reverse Repurchase Agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the sale of a security, with an agreement to repurchase the same or a substantially similar security at an agreed upon price and date. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered borrowings and the difference between the sale and repurchase prices represents interest expense at an agreed upon rate. Whether such a transaction produces a gain for a Portfolio depends upon whether the income and gains on the securities purchased with the proceeds received from the sale of the security exceeds the interest expense incurred by a Portfolio. 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.
S. 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, a 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 c losed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, a Portfolio realizes a gain or loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If a Portfolio delivers securities under the commitment, a 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.
T. 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.

Control is defined by the 1940 Act as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. The 1940 Act defines affiliates as companies that are under common control. Therefore, because the Portfolios have a common owner that owns over 25% of the outstanding securities of the Portfolios, they may be deemed to be affiliates of each other. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Portfolios.
The following Portfolio placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that are affiliates of the Investment Adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were:
Portfolio | | Affiliated Brokers | | Commissions Paid | |

Templeton Foreign Equity | | | 1.48 | % | | | 0.98 | % | | | 1.23 | % | |

(2) Prior to September 6, 2008, the expense limits for Pioneer High Yield were 1.25%, 0.75% and 1.00% for Classes ADV, I and S, respectively.
The Expense Limitation Agreement is contractual and shall renew automatically unless DSL provides written notice of the termination of the Expense Limitation Agreement within 90 days of the end of the then current term.
Effective January 1, 2008, pursuant to a side agreement, DSL implemented expense limits for American Century Large Company Value and Van Kampen Comstock through at least December 31, 2009 to the following annual expenses to average daily net assets:
Portfolio | | Class ADV | | Class I | | Class S | |
American Century Large Company Value | | | 1.40 | % | | | 0.90 | % | | | 1.15 | % | |
Van Kampen Comstock | | | 1.31 | % | | | 0.81 | % | | | 1.06 | % | |
If, after December 31, 2009, DSL elects not to renew the side agreement, the Portfolios will no longer have an expense limitation. There is no guarantee that these side agreements will continue after that date. The side agreement will only renew if DSL elects to renew it. Any fees waived pursuant to the side agreements shall not be eligible for recoupment.

NOTE 14 — CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
Non-Diversified. Certain Portfolios are each classified as non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, which means that each Portfolio is not limited by the 1940 Act in the proportion of assets that they may invest in the obligations of a single issuer. Declines in the value of that single company can significantly impact the value of a Portfolio. The investment of a large percentage of a Portfolio's assets in the securities of a small number of issuers may cause the Portfolios' share price to fluctuate more than that of a diversified investment company. Conversely, even though classified as non-diversified, a Portfolio may actually maintain a portfolio that is diversified with a large number of issuers. In such an event, a Portfolio would benefit less from appreciation in a single corporate issuer than if it had greater exposure to that issuer.
Foreign Securities. Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which a Portfolio may invest are denominated in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of a Portfolio. Foreign investments may also subject a Portfolio to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as changes vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar from movements in currency, and changes in security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of a Portfolio investments.
Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market countries are generally defined as countries in the initial stage of their industrialization cycles with low per capita income. Investments in emerging market countries present risks in a greater degree than, and in addition to, those presented by investments in foreign issuers in general as these countries may be less politically and economically stable than other countries. A number of emerging market countries restrict, to varying degrees, foreign investment in stocks. Repatriation of investment income, capital and proceeds of sales by foreign investors may require governmental registration and/or approval in some emerging market countries. A number of the currencies of developing countries have experienced significant declines against the U.S. dollar from time to time, and devaluation may occur after investments in those currencies by a Portfolio. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries.
High-Yield, Lower-Grade Debt Securities Risk. High-yield debt securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") generally present greater credit risk that an issuer cannot make timely payment of interest or principal than an issuer of a higher quality debt security, and typically have greater potential price volatility and principal and income risk. Changes in interest rates, the market's perception of the issuers and the credit worthiness of the issuers may significantly affect the value of these bonds. High-yield bonds are not considered investment grade, and are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuing company's continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. The secondary market in which high yield securities are traded may be less liquid than the market for higher grade bonds. It may be more difficult to value less liquid high yield

securities, and determination of their value may involve elements of judgment.
Derivatives. Generally, derivatives can be characterized as financial instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from the performance of an underlying asset or assets. Some derivatives are sophisticated instruments that typically involve a small investment of cash relative to the magnitude of risks assumed. These may include swap agreements, options, forwards and futures. Derivative securities are subject to market risk which could be significant for those that have a leveraging effect. Derivatives are also subject to credit risks related to the counterparty's ability to perform and any deterioration in the counterparty's creditworthiness could adversely affect the instrument. In addition, derivatives and their underlying securities may experience periods of illiquidity which could cause a Portfolio to hold a security it might otherwise sell or co uld force the sale of a security at inopportune times or for prices that do not reflect current market value. A risk of using derivatives is that a Portfolio's adviser or sub-adviser might imperfectly judge the market's direction.
During the period, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (LBHI) and certain of its affiliates sought protection under the insolvency laws of their jurisdictions of organization, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. For the period ended December 31, 2008, Oppenheimer Strategic Income and PIMCO Total Return had outstanding securities trades with counterparties affiliated with LBHI. As a result of these events, LBHI's affiliates were unable to fulfill their commitments and, in certain cases, Oppenheimer Strategic Income and PIMCO Total Return may have terminated its trades and related agreements with the relevant entities and, where appropriate, is in the process of initiating claims for damages. Management has determined that the financial impact to the Portfolios relating to these events is immaterial.
NOTE 15 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon ("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 is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned when the transaction is entered into and is adjusted daily for changes in the market values of the securities on loan. The cash collateral received is invested in approved investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNY (the "Agreement"). The Portfolios bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Currently, the cash collateral is invested in the Bank of New York Mellon Corp. Institutional Cash Reserves Fund ("BICR Fund"). BNY serves as investment manager, cus todian and operational trustee of the BICR Fund. As of December 31, 2008, the BICR Fund held certain defaulted securities that had market values significantly below amortized cost. The investment in the BICR Fund is included in the Portfolio of Investments under Securities Lending Collateral and the unrealized loss on such investment is included in Net Unrealized Depreciation on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolios agreed, in principle, to the terms of capital support extended by The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNYC"), an affiliated company of BNY, for the certain defaulted securities held by the BICR Fund. BNYC will support the value of these securities up to a certain amount and subject, in part, to the Portfolios' continued lending of securities. The recorded value of each Portfolio's investment in the BICR Fund includes the value of the underlying securities held by the BICR Fund and the estimated value of the support to be provided by BNYC.
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. 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, 2008, the following Portfolios had securities on loan with the following market values:
Portfolio | | Value of Securities Loaned | | Cash Collateral Received* | |
American Century Large Company Value | | $ | 53,682 | | | $ | 50,811 | | |

NOTE 17 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 ("SFAS No. 161"), "Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This new accounting statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity invests in derivatives, (b) how derivatives are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and (c) how derivatives affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, management of the Portfolios is currently assessing the impact of the expanded financial statement disclosures that will result from adopting SFAS No. 161.
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
As discussed in earlier supplements that were previously filed with the SEC, DSL, the adviser to the ING Funds, has 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 N.V., 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. ING's internal review related to mutual fund trading has been completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the
107
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
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.
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.
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 SEC. DSL reported to the Boards that the indemnification commitments made by ING Funds related to mutual fund trading have been settled and restitution amounts prepared by an independent consultant have been paid to the affected ING Funds. The net aggregate settlement amounts received by Pioneer High Yield on December 17, 2008 was $30,107.
• 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.
Other Regulatory Matters
The New York Attorney General 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.
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.

PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS
ING DAVIS NEW YORK VENTURE PORTFOLIO AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
# Securities with purchases pursuant to Rule 144A or section 4(2), under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be resold subject to that rule except to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise noted, these securities have been determined to be liquid under the guidelines established by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees.
I Illiquid security
X Fair value determined by ING Funds Valuation Committee appointed by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees.
* Cost for federal income tax purposes is $505,990,652.
Net unrealized depreciation consists of:
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 1,069,791 | | |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | (157,753,818 | ) | |
Net Unrealized Depreciation | | $ | (156,684,027 | ) | |
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of December 31, 2008 in determining the Portfolio's investments at fair value for purposes of SFAS 157:
| | Investments in Securities | | Other Financial Instruments* | |
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | | $ | 295,502,803 | | | $ | — | | |
Level 2 — Other Significant Observable Inputs | | | 53,803,767 | | | | — | | |
Level 3 — Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | 55 | | | | — | | |
Total | | $ | 349,306,625 | | | $ | — | | |
"Fair value" for purposes of SFAS 157 is different from "fair value" as used in the 1940 Act. The former generally implies market value, and can include market quotations as a source of value, and the latter refers to determinations of actual value in absence of available market quotations.
* Other financial instruments may include forward foreign currency contracts, futures, swaps, and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts and futures are reported at their unrealized gain/loss at year end. Swaps and written options are reported at their market value at year end.
A roll forward of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2008, was as follows:
| | Investments in Securities | | Other Financial Instruments* | |
Beginning Balance at 12/31/07 | | $ | 55 | | | $ | — | | |
Net Purchases/(Sales) | | | — | | | | — | | |
Accrued Discounts/(Premiums) | | | — | | | | — | | |
Total Realized Gain/(Loss) | | | — | | | | — | | |
Total Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation) | | | — | | | | — | | |
Net Transfers In/(Out) of Level 3 | | | — | | | | — | | |
Ending Balance at 12/31/08 | | $ | 55 | | | $ | — | | |
* Other financial instruments may include forward foreign currency contracts, futures, swaps, and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts and futures are reported at their unrealized gain/loss at year end. Swaps and written options are reported at their market value at year end.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities included in the change in net assets was $—. Total unrealized gain (loss) for all securities (including Level 1 and Level 2) can be found on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

"Fair value" for purposes of SFAS 157 is different from "fair value" as used in the 1940 Act. The former generally implies market value, and can include market quotations as a source of value, and the latter refers to determinations of actual value in absence of available market quotations.
* Other financial instruments may include forward foreign currency contracts, futures, swaps, and written options. Forward foreign currency contracts and futures are reported at their unrealized gain/loss at year end. Swaps and written options are reported at their market value at year end.

** The Tribune Company announced on December 9, 2008 (Event Determination Date) that it was voluntarily restructuring its debt obligations under the protection of Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. Cash settlement is based on a final price of 1.5, which was determined at auction on January 6, 2009. As the seller of protection, the fund will be required to pay an amount equal to notional amount of each transaction multiplied by one minus the final price (notional amount x .985). The coupon for each deal stopped accruing on the Event Determination Date.
(1) If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Portfolio will either 1.) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or 2.) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(2) If the Portfolio is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will generally either 1.) Pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or 2.) Pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index.
(3) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed for credit default swaps sold and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting

market values, as well as the receive fixed rate, serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, and high receive fixed rate, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(4) The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make or receive as a buyer of credit protection under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
(5) The market values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Increasing market values, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring.
(6) For the reason(s) or why a Portfolio may sell credit protection, please see NOTE 2, "Significant Accounting Policies" in the Notes to Financial Statements.

(3) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues are disclosed for credit default swaps sold and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities or credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting market values, as well as the receive fixed rate, serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, and high receive fixed rate, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(4) The maximum amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make or receive as a buyer of credit protection under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.
(5) The market values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Increasing market values, in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the agreement, represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring.
(6) For the reason(s) or why a Portfolio may sell credit protection, please see NOTE 2, "Significant Accounting Policies" in the Notes to Financial Statements.

A roll forward of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2008, was as follows:
| | Investments in Securities | | Other Financial Instruments* | |
Beginning Balance at 12/31/07 | | $ | 1,945,402 | | | $ | — | | |

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") provides that, after an initial period, the Portfolios' existing investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts will remain in effect only if the Board of Directors (the "Board") of ING Partners, Inc. (the "Company"), including a majority of Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the advisory and sub-advisory contracts, and who are not "interested persons" of the Portfolios, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the "Independent Directors"), annually review and approve them. Thus, at a meeting held on November 14, 2008, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, considered whether to renew the investment advisory contracts (the "Advisory Contracts") between Directed Services LLC (the "Adviser") and the sub-advisory contracts ("Sub-Advisory Contracts") with the sub-adviser to each Portfolio (collectively, the "Sub-Advise rs").
The Independent Directors also held separate meetings on October 24 and November 12, 2008 to consider the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts. As a result, subsequent references herein to factors considered and determinations made by the Independent Directors include, as applicable, factors considered and determinations made on those earlier dates by the Independent Directors.
At its November 14, 2008 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 to it throughout the year at regular meetings of the Board and the Board's committees, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewal process. Determinations by the Independent Directors also took into account various factors that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates 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 specific factors that the Board considered at its renewal meeting. While the Board gave its attention to the information furnished, at its request, that was most relevant to its considerations, 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, 2009. Each Board member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Portfolio's advisory and sub-advisory arrangements.
Overview of the Contract Renewal and Approval Process
Several years ago, the Independent Directors instituted a revised process by which they seek and consider relevant information when they decide whether to approve new or existing advisory and sub-advisory arrangements for the investment companies in the ING Funds complex under their jurisdiction, including the Portfolios' existing Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts. Among other actions, the Independent Directors: retained the services of independent consultants 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 and to help evaluate that information; established a specific format in which certain requested information is provided to the Board; and determine d the process for reviewing such information in connection with advisory and sub-advisory contract renewals and approvals. The end result was an enhanced process which is currently employed by the Independent Directors to review and analyze information in connection with their annual renewal of the ING Funds' advisory and sub-advisory contracts, as well as their review and approval of new advisory relationships.
Since the current renewal and approval process was first implemented, the Board's membership has changed substantially through periodic retirements of some Directors and the appointment and election of new Directors. In addition, throughout this period the Independent Directors have reviewed and refined the renewal and approval process at least annually. The Board also established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees ("IRCs"). Among other matters, the Contracts Committee provides oversight with respect to the contracts renewal process, and each Portfolio is assigned to an IRC, which
249
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
provides oversight regarding, among other matters, investment performance.
The type and format of the information provided to the Board or to legal counsel for the Independent Directors in connection with the contract approval and renewal process has been codified in the Portfolios' 15(c) Methodology Guide. This Guide was developed under the direction of the Independent Directors and sets out a blueprint pursuant to which the Independent Directors request certain information that they deem important to facilitate an informed review in connection with initial and annual approvals of advisory and sub-advisory contracts.
Management provides certain of the information requested by the 15(c) Methodology Guide in Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables ("FACT sheets") prior to the Independent Directors' review of advisory and sub-advisory arrangements (including the Portfolios' Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts). The Independent Directors previously retained an independent firm to verify and test the accuracy of certain FACT sheet data for a representative sample of funds in the ING Funds complex. In addition, in 2007 and 2008, the Contracts Committee employed the services of an independent consultant to assist in its review and analysis of, among other matters, the 15(c) Methodology Guide, the content and format of the FACT sheets, and proposed Selected Peer Groups of investment companies ("SPGs") to be used by the Portfolios for certain comparison purposes during the renewal process.
As part of an ongoing process, the Contracts Committee recommends or considers recommendations from Management for refinements to the 15(c) Methodology Guide and other aspects of the review process, and the Board's IRCs review benchmarks used to assess the performance of the funds in the ING Funds complex. The Investment Review Committees may apply a heightened level of scrutiny in cases where performance has lagged an ING Fund's relevant benchmark and/or SPG.
The Board employed its process for reviewing contracts when considering the renewals of the Portfolios' Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts that would be effective through November 30, 2009. Set forth below is a discussion of many of the Board's primary considerations and conclusions resulting from this process.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service
In determining whether to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolios for the year ending November 30, 2009, 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 each Sub-Adviser. This included information regarding the Adviser and Sub-Advisers provided throughout the year at regular meetings of the Board and its committees, as well as information furnished in connection with the contract renewal meetings.
The materials requested by and provided to the Board and/or to K&L Gates prior to the November 14, 2008 Board meeting included, among other information, the following items for each Portfolio: (1) FACT sheets that provided information regarding the performance and expenses of the Portfolio and other similarly managed funds in its SPG, as well as information regarding the Portfolio's investment portfolio, objective and strategies; (2) reports providing risk and attribution analyses of the Portfolio; (3) the 15(c) Methodology Guide, which describes how the FACT sheets were prepared, including the manner in which the Portfolio's benchmark and SPG were selected and how profitability was determined; (4) responses from the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to a series of questions posed by K&L Gates on behalf of the Directors; (5) copies of the forms of Advisory Contract and Sub-Advisory Contract; (6) copies of the Forms ADV for the Adviser and the relevant Sub-Adviser; (7) financial statements for the Adviser and the relevant Sub-Adviser; (8) a draft of a narrative summary addressing key factors the Board customarily considers in evaluating the renewals of the ING Funds' (including the Portfolios') advisory contracts and sub-advisory contracts, including a written analysis for the Portfolio of how performance, fees and expenses compare to its SPG and/or designated benchmark; (9) independent analyses of Portfolio performance by the Company's Chief Investment Risk Officer; (10) information regarding net asset flows into and out of each Portfolio; and (11) other information relevant to the Board's evaluations.
Class I shares were used for purposes of certain comparisons between each Portfolio and its SPG. This share class was selected so that a Portfolio's share class with the longest performance history was compared to the analogous class of shares for each fund in its SPG. The mutual funds included in the Portfolios' SPGs were selected based upon criteria designed to mirror the Portfolio share class being compared to the SPG.
In arriving at its conclusions with respect to the Advisory Contracts, the Board was mindful of the
250
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
"manager-of-managers" platform of the ING Funds that has been developed by Management. The Board also considered the techniques that the Adviser has developed, at the Board's direction, to screen and perform due diligence on the sub-advisers that are recommended to the Board to manage the investment portfolios of the funds in the ING Funds complex. The Board noted the resources that the Adviser has committed to the Board and the IRCs to assist the Board and the IRCs 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 Board's IRCs to analyze the key factors underlying investment performance for the funds in the ING Funds complex.
The Board also noted the techniques used by the Adviser to monitor the performance of the Sub-Advisers and the proactive approach that the Adviser, working in cooperation with the IRCs, has taken to advocate or recommend, when it believed appropriate, changes designed to assist in improving the Portfolios' performance.
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 funds or among ING Funds available on a product platform, and the wide range of ING Funds available for exchange or transfer. The Board also took into account the Adviser's efforts in recent years to reduce the expenses of the ING Funds through renegotiated 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 and Sub-Adviser personnel with codes of ethics. The Board considered reports from the Company's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") evaluating whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers are reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws, including those related to, among others, late trading and market timing, best execution, fair value pricing, proxy voting and trade allocation practices. The Board also took into account the CCO's annual and periodic reports and recommendations with respect to service provider 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 each Sub-Adviser, and evaluated the ability of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser 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 each Sub-Adviser, and whether those resources are commensurate with the needs of the Portfolios and are sufficient to sustain appropriate levels of performance and compliance 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 each Sub-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 and each Sub-Adviser were appropriate.
Portfolio Performance
In assessing advisory and sub-advisory relationships, the Board placed emphasis on the net investment returns of each Portfolio. 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 FACT sheets furnished in connection with the renewal process. The FACT sheet prepared for each Portfolio included its investment performance compared to the Portfolio's Morningstar category median, Lipper category median, SPG and primary benchmark. The FACT sheet performance data was as of June 30, 2008. In addition, the Board also considered at its November 14, 2008 meeting certain additional data regarding performance and Portfolio asset levels as of October 31, 2008. The Board's findings specific to each Portfolio's performance are discussed under "Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis" below.
251
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of advisory fee rates, the Board also considered whether economies of scale will be realized by the Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are reflected in contractual fee rates. In this regard, the Board noted any breakpoints in advisory fee schedules that resulted in a lower advisory fee rate 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 there are corresponding advisory fee breakpoints or waivers. For a Portfolio that did not have advisory fee breakpoints, but did benefit from waivers or reimbursements of advisory or other fees, the Board also considered the extent to which economies of scale could be realized through waivers, reimbursements or expense reductions.
In evaluating economies of scale, the Independent Directors also considered prior periodic management reports and industry information on this topic, and the Independent Directors who were Board members at that time also considered a November 2006 evaluation and analysis presented to them by an independent consultant regarding fee breakpoint arrangements and economies of scale.
The Board also considered that many of the Portfolios had experienced material declines in assets, especially during October 2008, due to general market declines precipitated by the credit crises and other generally adverse market developments. As a result of these asset declines, the Board considered that there were fewer opportunities to realize economies of scale.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board requested and considered information regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to other clients, including other registered investment companies and institutional accounts. When fee rates offered to other clients differed materially from those charged to the Portfolios, the Board considered any underlying rationale provided by the Adviser or Sub-Advisers for these differences. For unaffiliated Sub-Advisers, the Board did not view this information as being a key factor in its deliberations because of the arms-length nature of negotiations between the Adviser and unaffiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to sub-advisory fee rates. The Board also noted that the fee rates charged to the Portfolios and other institutional clients of the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser (including other investment companies) may differ materially due to, among other reasons: differences in services; different regulatory requirements associated with registered investment companies, such as the Portfolios, as compared to non-registered investment company clients; market differences in fee rates that existed when a Portfolio first was organized; differences in the original sponsors of Portfolios that now are managed by the Adviser; investment capacity constraints that existed when certain contracts were first agreed upon or that might exist at present; and different pricing structures that are necessary to be competitive in different marketing channels.
Fee Rates and Profitability
The Board reviewed and considered each contractual investment advisory fee rate, combined with any applicable administrative fee rate, payable by each Portfolio to the Adviser. The Board also considered the contractual sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to each Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services for each Portfolio. In addition, the Board considered fee waivers and expense limitations applicable to the fees payable by the Portfolios.
The Board considered the fee structure of each Portfolio as it relates 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.
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 related assumptions) specified in the 15(c) 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 relevant Sub-Adviser. 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 prof itability considerations, or did not view this data as imperative to its deliberations, given
252
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
the arm's-length nature of the relationship between the Adviser and these Sub-Advisers with respect to the negotiation of sub-advisory fee rates. Further, the Board considered that the decline in asset levels of many Portfolios caused by recent adverse economic conditions was likely to cause a similar decline in any profits realized by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers.
The Board determined that it had requested and received sufficient information to gain a reasonable understanding regarding the Adviser's and affiliated Sub-Advisers' profitability. The Board also recognized that profitability analysis is not an exact science and there is no uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose. In this context, the Board realized that Management's calculations regarding its costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the Portfolios' operations may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Portfolio in determining profitability, and that the information presented may not portray all of the costs borne by Management or capture Management's entrepreneurial risk associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment.
Based on the information on revenues, costs, and profitability considered by the Board, and after considering the factors described in this section, the Board concluded that the profits, if any, realized by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser were not excessive. In making its determinations, the Board based its conclusions on the reasonableness of the advisory and sub-advisory fees of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers primarily on the factors described for each Portfolio below.
Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis
The following paragraphs outline certain of the specific factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions reached, at its November 14, 2008 meeting in relation to renewing each Portfolio's current Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the year ending November 30, 2009. 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. With respect to Morningstar quintile rankings, the first quintile represents the highest (best) performance and the fifth quintile represents the lowest performance. Each Portfolio's management fee and expense ratio were compared to the fees and expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
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, 2008: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented; (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the fourth quintile of its Morningstar category for the most recent calendar qu arter, year-to-date, one-year, and three-year periods, and the fifth (lowest) quintile for the five-year period.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) Management's analysis regarding the Sub-Adviser's rationale for underperformance, including its analysis regarding the negative effect of investments in the financial sector; and (2) Management's analysis regarding a potential merger of the Portfolio to address the Board's concerns regarding the Portfolio's performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the 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 SPG, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is above the median and the average management fees of the funds in its SPG; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and below the average expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
In analyzing this fee data, the Board also considered that, effective January 1, 2008, new expense limits were added to the Portfolio.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio's management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the board; (3) the Portfolio was launched in January 2006 and it is reasonable too permit it to establish a longer operating history for the purposes of evaluating 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
253
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2009. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING American Century Small-Mid Cap Value Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING American Century Small-Mid Cap Value Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2008: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented with the exception of the most recent calendar quarter and year-to-date periods, during which it underperformed; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for the one-year and three-year periods, but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, and five-year periods; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the second quintile of its Morningstar category for the one-year period, and the third quintile for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, three-year, and five-year periods.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the 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 SPG, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is above the median and the average management fees of the funds in its SPG; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
The Board also considered that expense limits were implemented at the Board's direction in 2006, which reduced the Portfolio's total expenses.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio's management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Portfolio's performance is reasonable in context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2009. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Baron Asset Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Baron Asset Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2008: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented; (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for the most recent calendar quarter and year-to-date periods, but outperformed for the one-year period; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the fourth quintile of its Morningstar category for the year-to-date and one-year periods, and the fifth (lowest) quintile for the most recent calendar quarter.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) Management's analysis of the negative impact that stock selection and overweighting in the financial services sector had on the Portfolio's performance; and (2) the Portfolio commenced operations in January 2006 and therefore had a limited operating history for the purpose of analyzing performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an advisory contract with a breakpoint fee schedule where asset levels necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Portfolio; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its SPG, including that: (a) the management fee (inclusive of a 0.10% administration fee) for the Portfolio is above the median and the average management fees of the funds in its SPG; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio's management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Portfolio was launched in January 2006 and it is reasonable to permit it to establish a longer operating history for
254
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
the purposes of evaluating 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, 2009. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Baron Small Cap Growth Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Baron Small Cap Growth Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2008: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented with the exception of the five-year period, during which it outperformed; (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, and three year periods, but outperformed for the one-year and five-year periods; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the second quintile of its Morningstar category for the five-year period, the third quintile for the one-year and three-year periods, the fourth quintile for the year-to-date period, and the fifth (lowe st) quintile for the most recent calendar quarter.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) Management's analysis of the negative effect that sector allocation in health care had on the Portfolio's performance; (2) Management's view that the Sub-Adviser historically had been successful in managing the Portfolio in its current style, and its expectation that longer-term performance will improve; and (3) Management will continue to monitor, and the Board and its IRC will periodically review, the Portfolio's performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with a breakpoint fee schedule where the asset level necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Portfolio; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its SPG, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and above the average management fees of the funds in its SPG; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio's management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the board; (3) taking into account that Management will continue to monitor, and the Board or its IRC will periodically review, its performance, it is reasonable to permit the Sub-Adviser to continue to manage the Portfolio to assess whether Management's expectations of improved longer-term performance are realized; 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, 2009. During this renewal process, different Board members m ay have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) Management's analysis of the negative effect that sector allocation and stock selection had on the Portfolio's performance; (2) Management's view that the Sub-Adviser historically had been successful in managing the Portfolio in its current style, and its expectation that longer-term performance will improve; and (3) Management will continue to monitor, and the Board or its IRC will periodically review, the Portfolio's performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract with a breakpoint fee schedule where the asset level necessary to achieve a breakpoint discount had not been reached by the Portfolio; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its SPG, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is above the median and above the average management fees of the funds in its SPG; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and above the average expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio's management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) taking into account that Management will continue to monitor, and the Board or its IRC will periodically review, its performance, the Portfolio's performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2009. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related c onclusions.
ING Van Kampen Comstock Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Van Kampen Comstock Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2008: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented; (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the fifth (lowest) quintile of its Morningstar category for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, one-year, three-year, and five-year periods, all periods presented.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) Management's analysis regarding the negative effect of sector allocation on the Portfolio's performance, particularly a significant underweight in the energy sector; (2) Management's representations that the Sub-Adviser's investment philosophy, applied over longer periods, had historically resulted in reasonable performance; and (3) Management would continue to monitor, and the Board or its IRC would periodically review, the Portfolio's investment performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the 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 SPG, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its SPG; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account that: (1) effective January 2008, at the Board's direction following the 2007 annual contracts renewal process, an expense limit was put into place for the Portfolio; (2) effective April 2007, breakpoints were added to the Portfolio's administrative fee; and (3) effective April 2007, a fee waiver was put into place with respect to a portion the management fee.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio's management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors

considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) taking into account that Management will continue to monitor, and the Board or its IRC will periodically review its performance, the Portfolio's investment performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2009. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for ING Van Kampen Equity and Income Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2008: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented, with the exception of the five-year period, during which it outperformed; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented, with the exception of the five-year period, during which it underperformed; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the second quintile of its Morningstar category for the five-year period, the third quintile for the three-year period, the fourth quintile for the year-to-date period, and the fifth (lowest) quintile for the most recent calendar quarter and one-year periods.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) Management's analysis of the negative impact that the Portfolio's value focus had on the Portfolio's performance; (2) the effect sector weightings had on the Portfolio's performance; and (3) in April 2008 the Portfolio's investment strategy was changed.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts for the 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 SPG, including that: (a) the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and the average management fees of the funds in its SPG; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and the average expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio's management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Portfolio's performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (4) the sub-advisory fee rate payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board.

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
In our semi-annual report, we described a failed second quarter rally that fizzled when investors realized that borderline recessionary conditions and a credit crunch had not gone away. By year-end, governments were committing previously unimaginable sums of taxpayer money to prevent systemic collapse. Global equities in the form of the MSCI World® Index(1) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends ("MSCI" for regions discussed below) plunged 29.70% in the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 38.70% for the entire fiscal year). (The MSCI World® Index plunged 40.71% for the entire fiscal year, measured in U.S. dollars.) In currencies, the dollar at first drifted near record lows against the euro. But the tide turned in mid-July and for the six months ended December 31, 2008, the dollar strengthened by 12.10% (4.50% for the entire fiscal year). The dollar also soared 37.80% against the pound for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (37.90% for the entire fiscal year). But the yen advanced as carry trades (essentially short yen positions) were unwound and the dollar fell 14.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 19.60% for the entire fiscal year).
Even more dramatic was the price of oil which marched to an all-time high of around $147 per barrel in mid-July, only to lose more than two thirds of that price by December 31, 2008.
The economic statistics remained bleak. By the end of October, the Standard & Poor's ("S&P")/Case-Shiller National U.S. Home Price Index(2) of house prices had fallen a record 18% over the year. New home sales were at 1991 levels. Some 45% of existing home sales were distressed.
Payrolls declined in every month of 2008, as the number of people claiming unemployment reached 4.1 million, a 26-year high. Gross domestic product ("GDP") fell at an annualized rate of 0.50% in the third quarter, and the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the recession had actually started in December 2007.
Yet these were side-shows to the fireworks display in the financial sector, where major institutions — hanging by a thread through problems rooted in unwise mortgage borrowing, lending and investment — met different fates in September 2008 at the hands of the U.S. government.
The Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") were taken into "conservatorship." Merrill Lynch was acquired by the Bank of America with a wink from the authorities. AIG received an $85 billion loan from a reluctant government, which also took a 79.90% equity stake in AIG. But Lehman Brothers having sought capital, then a buyer, found neither and was left to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The U.S. government was now in the position of choosing winners and losers among financial institutions: none too successfully, for it quickly became obvious that by pointedly leaving Lehman Brothers to go under, a credit crisis had become a credit market collapse. Lending all but seized up.
Policy response was huge but at least initially muddled. A Troubled Asset Relief Plan ("TARP") would set up a $700 billion fund to buy illiquid mortgage securities from financial institutions. But on November 12, 2008 with half of the money already used to recapitalize banks, Treasury Secretary Paulson announced that the rest of the funds would not be used to buy illiquid mortgage securities after all. This merely renewed the pressure on the holders of such securities like Citigroup, which within two weeks received guarantees from the government against losses and another $20 billion in capital.
Other programs were of more practical use, like support for the commercial paper market and a guarantee facility for money market funds. Arguably the most effective measure was the announced intention to buy vast quantities of agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures. This had the effect of driving down rates on the 30-year mortgage towards 5.00%, a record low. In the meantime, the newly-elected president promised a stimulus package worth approximately $1 trillion. And by year end, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") reduced interest rates to a range of between 0% and 0.25%.
2008 ended with much gloom and bad news still to come, but the platform for recovery was perhaps taking shape.
In U.S. fixed-income markets, yields on the 90-day Treasury Bills briefly turned negative in December 2008, while the yield on the ten-year Treasury Note fell below 2.50%, something we had not seen in 50 years. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index(3), formerly known as the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, of investment grade bonds returned 4.10% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (5.20% for the entire fiscal year). By contrast, high yield bonds,

represented by the Barclays Capital High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index(4), formerly known as the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index, behaved more like a stock index and returned (25.10)% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 25.90% for the entire fiscal year).
U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Composite Stock Price ("S&P 500®") Index(5), including dividends, returned (28.50)% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (down 37.00% for the entire fiscal year), increasingly unimpressed by sharply falling oil prices. Profits for S&P 500® Index companies suffered their fifth straight quarter of decline, led again by the financials sector, although taxpayer money was also potentially committed to save the big three auto makers from bankruptcy. On November 20, 2008, the S&P 500® Index plumbed a level not seen since April 1997, before a December recovery.
In international markets, plainly entering recession, the MSCI Japan® Index(6) slumped 35.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (down 42.60% for the entire fiscal year). The strengthening yen hit exports in an export-dependent economy even as global demand slowed for other reasons. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(7) sagged 29.40% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 43.20% for the entire fiscal year) , beset by sharply falling economic activity and a European Central Bank in denial that inflation was falling fast. Finally, rates were reduced by an unprecedented 175 basis points (or 1.75%) in two months near the end of the year while governments, one after the other, proposed large stimulus packages. In the UK, the MSCI UK® Index(8) fell 19.40% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 28.50% for the entire fiscal year). The UK had allowed a bigger housing bubble than the United States and deeper personal indebtedness in an economy more dependent on the financial sector. Rates were reduced to 1951 levels as venerable banks ceased to exist as independent entities.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING Fidelity® VIP Mid Cap Portfolio against the index indicated. An index is unmanaged, has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in the 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) 992-0181 to get performance through the most recent month end.
(1) The S&P MidCap 400® Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the mid-size company segment of the U.S. market.
(2) Since inception performance of the index is shown from November 1, 2004.
This report contains statements that may be "forward-looking" statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the "forward-looking" statements.
The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers, only through the end of the period as stated on the cover. The portfolio managers' views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.

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, 2008 to December 31, 2008, 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 the 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 before expenses)," 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
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 ("DSL" or the "Investment Adviser") and its insurance company affiliates. At December 31, 2008 there were thirty-six active 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 also considers the potential for capital appreciation and seeks to achieve a yield that exceeds the composite yield on the securities comprising the S&P 500® Index 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 Fund III, a registered open-end investment company.
* Fidelity and Contrafund are registered trademarks of FMR Corp.
Each Portfolio in this report operates as a "feeder fund" which means it invests all of its assets in a separate mutual fund, the master fund: 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, 2008, Contrafund, Equity-Income, Growth and Mid Cap Portfolios each held 2 .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 Class ADV 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 Por tfolios may be offered to seperate accounts ("Separate Accounts") of insurance companies as investment options in connection with variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies ("Variable Contracts") and to certain of the Portfolios' investment advisers and their affiliates. In the future, shares may also be offered to qualified pension and retirement plans ("Qualified Plans") outside the Separate Account context. Shares of the Portfolios are
16
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION (continued)
not currently offered directly to Qualified Plans or custodial accounts.
Each Portfolio is distributed by ING Funds Distributor, LLC ("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.
On October 19, 2008, ING Groep announced that it reached an agreement with the Dutch government to strengthen its capital position, creating a strong buffer to navigate the current market and economic environment. ING Groep will issue non-voting core Tier-1 securities for a total consideration of EUR 10 billion to the Dutch State. The transaction boosts ING Bank's core Tier-1 ratio, strengthens the insurance balance sheet and reduces ING Groep's Debt/Equity ratio.
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.
Effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements", establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Portfolios is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as "Level 1", inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as "Level 2" and unobservable inputs, including the sub-adviser's judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as "Level 3". The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indic ation of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Portfolios' investments under these levels of classification is included following the Portfolios of Investments.
Effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 133-1 and FASB Interpretation Number ("FIN") 45-4, "Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161." The amendments to FAS 133 require enhanced disclosure regarding credit derivatives sold, including (1) the nature and terms of the credit derivative, reasons for entering into the credit derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, (2) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative, (3) the fair value of the credit derivative, and (4) the natu re of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. The amendments to FIN 45 require additional disclosures about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. All changes to accounting policies have been made in accordance with the FSP and incorporated for the current period as part of the Notes to Financial Statements and Portfolio of Investments.
B. Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income received from the affiliated funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statement of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the affiliated funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification.
C. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Each Portfolio distributes
17
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios' tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. 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 capit al loss carryforward has been fully utilized or expired.
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 to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, being invested by a 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 Portfolio in the event 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 investment adviser 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 0.56%, 0.46%, 0.56%, and 0.56%, 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
18
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES (continued)
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 4 — INVESTMENT IN UNDERLYING PORTFOLIOS
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of the Master Funds were as follows:
| | Purchases | | Sales | |
Contrafund | | $ | 119,067,792 | | | $ | 29,003,933 | | |
Equity-Income | | | 14,483,570 | | | | 10,499,303 | | |
Growth | | | 14,307,207 | | | | 6,982,481 | | |
Mid Cap | | | 24,111,467 | | | | 9,413,411 | | |
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 respective Portfolio pay only their proportionate share of the Master Fund 12b-1 plan expenses.
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At December 31, 2008, the Portfolios had the following amounts recorded as payable to affiliates on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities:
| | Accrued Administrative Fees | | Accrued Shareholder Service and Distribution Fees | | Total | |
Contrafund | | $ | 11,876 | | | $ | 60,189 | | | $ | 72,065 | | |
Equity-Income | | | 1,354 | | | | 6,870 | | | | 8,224 | | |
Growth | | | 1,005 | | | | 5,031 | | | | 6,036 | | |
Mid Cap | | | 2,058 | | | | 10,680 | | | | 12,738 | | |
At December 31, 2008, the following indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep owned more than 5% of the following Portfolios:
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company — Contrafund (99.74%); Equity-Income (99.50%); Growth (99.69%); Mid Cap (99.56%).
Control is defined by the 1940 Act as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. The 1940 Act defines affiliates as companies that are under common control. Therefore, because the Portfolios have a common owner that owns over 25% of the outstanding securities of the Portfolios, they may be deemed to be affiliates of each other. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Portfolios.
The Fund 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 return of capital.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2008:
| | Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gains/(Losses) | |
Contrafund | | $ | 321,948 | | | $ | (321,948 | ) | |
Mid Cap | | | 2,957,474 | | | | (2,957,474 | ) | |
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 tax composition of dividends and distributions to shareholders was as follows:
| | Year Ended December 31, 2008 | | Year Ended December 31, 2007 | |
| | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | |

The Portfolios' major tax jurisdictions are federal and Arizona. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2004.
NOTE 9 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 ("SFAS No. 161"), "Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This new accounting statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity invests in derivatives, (b) how derivatives are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and (c) how derivatives affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments.

NOTE 10 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
As discussed in earlier supplements that were previously filed with the SEC, DSL, the adviser to the ING Funds, has 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 N.V., 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. ING's internal review related to mutual fund trading has been 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 eac h 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.
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 SEC. DSL reported to the Boards that the indemnification commitments made by ING Funds related to mutual

NOTE 10 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
fund trading have been settled and restitution amounts prepared by an independent consultant have been paid to the affected ING Funds.
• 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.
Other Regulatory Matters
The New York Attorney General 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.
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 CONTRACT
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") provides that, after an initial period, the Portfolios' existing investment advisory contract will remain in effect only if the Board of Directors (the "Board") of ING Partners, Inc. (the "Company"), including a majority of Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the advisory contract, and who are not "interested persons" of the Company, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the "Independent Directors"), annually review and approve the contract. Thus, at a meeting held on November 14, 2008, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, considered whether to renew the investment advisory contract (the "Advisory Contract") between Directed Services LLC (the "Adviser") and the Company, on behalf of the Portfolios.
The Independent Directors also held separate meetings on October 24 and November 12, 2008 to consider the renewal of the Advisory Contract. As a result, subsequent references herein to factors considered and determinations made by the Independent Directors include, as applicable, factors considered and determinations made on those earlier dates by the Independent Directors.
At its November 14, 2008 meeting, the Board voted to renew the Advisory Contract for the Portfolios. In reaching this decision, the Board took into account information furnished to it throughout the year at regular meetings of the Board and the Board's committees, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewal process. Determinations by the Independent Directors also took into account various factors that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP ("K&L Gates"), their independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment, to be relevant. Further, while the advisory contracts for all the ING Funds were considered at the same Board meeting, the Directors considered each Portfolio's advisory relationship separately.
Provided below is an overview of the Board's contract approval process in general, as well as a discussion of certain specific factors that the Board considered at its renewal meeting. While the Board gave its attention to the information furnished, at its request, that was most relevant to its considerations, 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, 2009. Each Board member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Portfolio's advisory arrangement.
Overview of the Contract Renewal and Approval Process
Several years ago, the Independent Directors instituted a revised process by which they seek and consider relevant information when they decide whether to approve new or existing advisory arrangements for the investment companies in the ING Funds complex under their jurisdiction, including the Portfolios' existing Advisory Contract. Among other actions, the Independent Directors: retained the services of independent consultants 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 and to help evaluate that information; established a specific format in which certain requested information is provided to the Board; and determined the process for reviewing such information in conn ection with advisory contract renewal and approval. The end result was an enhanced process which is currently employed by the Independent Directors to review and analyze information in connection with their annual renewal of the ING Funds' advisory contracts, as well as their review and approval of new advisory relationships.
Since the current renewal and approval process was first implemented, the Board's membership has changed substantially through periodic retirements of some Directors and the appointment and election of new Directors. In addition, throughout this period the Independent Directors have reviewed and refined the renewal and approval process at least annually. The Board also established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees, including the Domestic Equity Investment Review Committee (the "DE IRC"). Among other matters, the Contracts Committee provides oversight with respect to the contracts renewal process, and the Portfolios are assigned to the DE IRC, which provides oversight regarding, among other matters, investment performance.
The type and format of the information provided to the Board or to legal counsel for the Independent Directors in connection with the contract approval and renewal process has been codified in the Portfolios' 15(c) Methodology Guide. This Guide was developed under the direction of the Independent Directors and sets out a blueprint pursuant to which
33
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
the Independent Directors request certain information that they deem important to facilitate an informed review in connection with initial and annual approvals of advisory contracts.
Management provides certain of the information requested by the 15(c) Methodology Guide in Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables ("FACT sheets") prior to the Independent Directors' review of advisory arrangements (including the Portfolios' Advisory Contract). The Independent Directors previously retained an independent firm to verify and test the accuracy of certain FACT sheet data for a representative sample of funds in the ING Funds complex. In addition, in 2007 and 2008, the Contracts Committee employed the services of an independent consultant to assist in its review and analysis of, among other matters, the 15(c) Methodology Guide, the content and format of the FACT sheets, and proposed Selected Peer Groups of investment companies ("SPGs") to be used by the Portfolios for certain comparison purposes during the renewal process.
As part of an ongoing process, the Contracts Committee recommends or considers recommendations from Management for refinements to the 15(c) Methodology Guide and other aspects of the review process, and the Board's Investment Review Committees, including the DE IRC, reviews benchmarks used to assess the performance of the funds in the ING Funds complex. The IRCs may apply a heightened level of scrutiny in cases where performance has lagged an ING Fund's relevant benchmark and/or SPG.
The Board employed its process for reviewing contracts when considering the renewal of the Portfolios' Advisory Contract that would be effective through November 30, 2009. Set forth below is a discussion of many of the Board's primary considerations and conclusions resulting from this process.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service
In determining whether to approve the Advisory Contract for the Portfolios for the year ending November 30, 2009, 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 meetings of the Board and its committees, as well as information furnished in connection with the contract renewal meetings.
The materials requested by and provided to the Board and/or to K&L Gates prior to the November 14, 2008 Board meeting included, among other information, the following items for each Portfolio: (1) FACT sheets that provided information regarding the performance and expenses of the Portfolio and other similarly managed funds in its SPG, as well as information regarding the Portfolio's investment portfolio, objective and strategies; (2) reports providing risk and attribution analyses of the Portfolio; (3) the 15(c) Methodology Guide, which describes how the FACT sheets were prepared, including the manner in which the Portfolios' benchmarks and SPGs were selected and how profitability was determined; (4) responses from the Adviser to a series of questions posed by K&L Gates on behalf of th e Directors; (5) copies of the form of Advisory Contract; (6) a copy of the Form ADV for the Adviser; (7) financial statements for the Adviser; (8) a draft of a narrative summary addressing key factors the Board customarily considers in evaluating the renewals of the ING Funds' (including the Portfolios') advisory contracts, including a written analysis for the Portfolio of how performance, fees and expenses compare to its SPG and/or designated benchmark; (9) independent analyses of Portfolio performance by the Company's Chief Investment Risk Officer; (10) information regarding net asset flows into and out of the Portfolio; and (11) other information relevant to the Board's evaluations.
For each Portfolio, Class S shares were used for purposes of certain comparisons between the Portfolios and their SPGs. Class S shares generally were selected so that a Portfolio's share class with the longest performance history was compared to the analogous class of shares for each fund in its SPG. The mutual funds included in the Portfolios' SPGs were selected based upon criteria designed to mirror the Portfolio share class being compared to the SPG.
In arriving at its conclusions with respect to the Advisory Contract, the Board noted the resources that the Adviser has committed to assist the Board and the DE IRC 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 Board's IRCs to analyze the key factors underlying investment performance for the funds in the ING Funds complex.
The Board also noted the proactive approach that the Adviser, working in cooperation with the IRCs, has taken to advocate or recommend, when it believed
34
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
appropriate, changes designed to assist in improving the Portfolios' performance.
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 such funds or among ING Funds available on a product platform, and the wide range of ING Funds available for exchange or transfer. The Board also took into account the Adviser's efforts in recent years to reduce the expenses of the ING Funds through renegotiated 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 codes of ethics. The Board considered reports from the Company's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") evaluating whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Adviser are reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws, including those related to, among others, late trading and market timing, best execution, fair value pricing, proxy voting and trade allocation practices. The Board also took into account the CCO's annual and periodic reports and recommendations with respect to service provider 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 the Portfolios' 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. 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 sufficient to sustain appropriate levels of performance and compliance 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 the advisory relationship, the Board placed emphasis on the net investment returns of each Portfolio. 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 FACT sheets furnished in connection with the renewal process. The FACT sheet prepared for each Portfolio included its investment performance compared to the Portfolio's Morningstar category median, Lipper category median, SPG and primary benchmark. The FACT sheet performance data was as of June 30, 2008. In addition, the Board also considered at its November 14, 2008 meeting certain additional data regarding performance and Portfolio asset levels as of October 31, 2008. The Board's findings specific to each Portfolio's performance are discussed below.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of advisory fee rates, the Board also considered whether economies of scale will be realized by the Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are reflected in contractual fee rates. In this regard, the Board noted that any breakpoints in advisory fee schedules applicable to the underlying Master Fund in which each Portfolio invests results in a lower, aggregate advisory fee payable by Portfolio shareholders. As the Portfolio does not have advisory fee breakpoints, but may benefit from waivers or reimbursements of advisory or other fees, the Board also considered the extent to which economies of scale could be realized through waivers, reimbursements or expense reductions.
In evaluating economies of scale, the Independent Directors also considered prior periodic management reports and industry information on this topic, and the Independent Directors who were Board members at that time also considered a November 2006 evaluation and analysis presented to them by an independent consultant regarding fee breakpoint arrangements and economies of scale.
The Board also considered that the Portfolios had experienced material declines in assets, especially during October 2008, due to general market declines precipitated by the credit crises and other generally adverse market developments. As a result of these
35
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
asset declines, the Board considered that there were fewer opportunities to realize economies of scale.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board requested and considered information regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser to other clients, including other registered investment companies and institutional accounts. When fee rates offered to other clients differed materially from those charged to the Portfolios, the Board considered any underlying rationale provided by the Adviser for these differences. The Board also noted that the fee rates charged to the Portfolios and other institutional clients of the Adviser (including other investment companies) may differ materially due to, among other reasons: differences in services; different regulatory requirements associated with registered investment companies, such as the Portfolios, as compared to non-registered investment company clients; market differences in fee rates that existed when a Portfolio first was organized; differences in the original sponsors of Portfolios that now are managed by th e Adviser; investment capacity constraints that existed when certain contracts were first agreed upon or that might exist at present; and different pricing structures that are necessary to be competitive in different marketing channels.
Fee Rates and Profitability
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rate, combined with the administrative fee rate, payable by the Portfolios to the Adviser. In addition, the Board considered fee waivers and expense limitations applicable to the fees payable by the Portfolios. In analyzing this fee data, the Board took into account that no advisory fees are charged when the Portfolios are invested in the corresponding Master Funds, and that advisory fees charged by the corresponding Master Funds are indirectly borne by Portfolio shareholders.
The Board considered the fee structure of each Portfolio as it relates to the services provided under the contract and the potential fall-out benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from their association with the Portfolios. For each Portfolio, the Board determined that the fees payable to the Adviser 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.
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 related assumptions) specified in the 15(c) 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.
Further, the Board considered that the decline in asset levels of the Portfolios caused by recent adverse economic conditions was likely to cause a similar decline in any profits realized by 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 or capture Management's entrepreneurial risk associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment.
Based on the information on revenues, costs, and profitability considered by the Board, and after considering the factors described in this section, the Board concluded that the profits, if any, realized by the Adviser were not excessive. In making its determinations, the Board based its conclusions on the reasonableness of the advisory fees of the Advisers primarily on the factors described for the Portfolios below.
Portfolio-by-Portfolio Analysis
The following paragraphs outline certain of the specific factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions reached, at its November 14, 2008 meeting in relation to renewing the Portfolios' current Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2009. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. In each case, a Portfolio's performance was compared to its Morningstar category median and its primary benchmark, a broad-based securities market index that appears in the Portfolios' prospectus. With respect to Morningstar quintile rankings, the first quintile represents the highest (best) performance
36
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
and the fifth quintile represents the lowest performance. The Portfolios' management fee and expense ratio were compared to the fees and expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
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, 2008: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented, with the exception of the year-to-date period, during which it underperformed; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented, with the exception of the year-to-date period, during which it underperformed; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the first (highest) quintile of its Morningstar category for the one- and three-year periods, the second quintile for the most recent calendar quarter, and the fourth quintile for the year-to-date period.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for the 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 the Portfolio, as compared to its SPG, including 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 SPG; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio's management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (3) the Portfolio's performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory Contract for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2009. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Fidelity® VIP Equity-Income Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Contract for ING Fidelity® VIP Equity-Income Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2008: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented, with the exception of the three-year period, during which it outperformed; (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the third quintile of its Morningstar category for the three-year period, and the fourth quintile for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, and one-year periods.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) Management's representations that the Portfolio's longer-term performance had been reasonable; and (2) Management's expectation that its performance will improve.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for the Portfolio, the Board took into account the factors described above and also considered: (1) the fairness of the compensation under an Advisory Contract (a) under which no advisory fees are charged when the Portfolio is fully invested in Fidelity's VIP Equity-Income Portfolio (the "Equity-Income Master Fund"); and (b) advisory fees are charged by the Equity-Income Master Fund and indirectly borne by Portfolio shareholders; and (2) the pricing structure (including the expense ratio to be borne by shareholders) of the Portfolio, as compared to its SPG, including 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 SPG; and (b) the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its SPG.
After its deliberation, the Board reached the following conclusions: (1) the Portfolio's management fee rate is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio's expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (3) the Portfolio's performance is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board voted to renew the Advisory Contract for the Portfolio for the year ending November 30, 2009. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.

Dear Shareholders,
We are in the midst of one of the most challenging periods ever faced by investors, and we at ING Funds are aware of the anxiety that you may be feeling at this time.
I want to assure you that we are actively engaged in monitoring the situation and are committed to keeping you fully informed of how the rapidly unfolding events around us may impact your investments with our company.

It is understandable that some of you may be second guessing your investment strategy due to these recent events. We encourage you to work with your investment professional and seek out their advice about your portfolio in light of the current conditions. But we also urge investors not to make rash decisions. ING Funds still believes that a well-diversified, globally allocated portfolio remains the most effective
investment strategy of all. We ask that investors not lose sight of their commitment to the long-term.
We thank you for your support and confidence and we look forward to continuing to do business with you in the future.

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
In our semi-annual report, we described a failed second quarter rally that fizzled when investors realized that borderline recessionary conditions and a credit crunch had not gone away. By year-end, governments were committing previously unimaginable sums of taxpayer money to prevent systemic collapse. Global equities in the form of the MSCI World® Index(1) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends (“MSCI” for regions discussed below) plunged 29.70% in the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 38.70% for the entire fiscal year). (The MSCI World® Index plunged 40.71% for the entire fiscal year, measured in U.S. dollars.) In currencies, the dollar at first drifted near record lows against the euro. But the tide turned in mid-July and for the six months ended December 31, 2008, the dollar strengthened by 12.10% (4.50% for the entire fiscal year). The dollar also soared 37.80% against the pound for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (37.90% for the entire fiscal year). But the yen advanced as carry trades (essentially short yen positions) were unwound and the dollar fell 14.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 19.60% for the entire fiscal year).
Even more dramatic was the price of oil which marched to an all-time high of around $147 per barrel in mid-July, only to lose more than two thirds of that price by December 31, 2008.
The economic statistics remained bleak. By the end of October, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”)/Case-Shiller National U.S. Home Price Index(2) of house prices had fallen a record 18% over the year. New home sales were at 1991 levels. Some 45% of existing home sales were distressed.
Payrolls declined in every month of 2008, as the number of people claiming unemployment reached 4.1 million, a 26-year high. Gross domestic product (“GDP”) fell at an annualized rate of 0.50% in the third quarter, and the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the recession had actually started in December 2007.
Yet these were side-shows to the fireworks display in the financial sector, where major institutions — hanging by a thread through problems rooted in unwise mortgage borrowing, lending and investment — met different fates in September 2008 at the hands of the U.S. government.
The Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) were taken into “conservatorship.” Merrill Lynch was acquired by the
Bank of America with a wink from the authorities. AIG received an $85 billion loan from a reluctant government, which also took a 79.90% equity stake in AIG. But Lehman Brothers having sought capital, then a buyer, found neither and was left to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The U.S. government was now in the position of choosing winners and losers among financial institutions: none too successfully, for it quickly became obvious that by pointedly leaving Lehman Brothers to go under, a credit crisis had become a credit market collapse. Lending all but seized up.
Policy response was huge but at least initially muddled. A Troubled Asset Relief Plan (“TARP”) would set up a $700 billion fund to buy illiquid mortgage securities from financial institutions. But on November 12, 2008 with half of the money already used to recapitalize banks, Treasury Secretary Paulson announced that the rest of the funds would not be used to buy illiquid mortgage securities after all. This merely renewed the pressure on the holders of such securities like Citigroup, which within two weeks received guarantees from the government against losses and another $20 billion in capital.
Other programs were of more practical use, like support for the commercial paper market and a guarantee facility for money market funds. Arguably the most effective measure was the announced intention to buy vast quantities of agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures. This had the effect of driving down rates on the 30-year mortgage towards 5.00%, a record low. In the meantime, the newly-elected president promised a stimulus package worth approximately $1 trillion. And by year end, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) reduced interest rates to a range of between 0% and 0.25%.
2008 ended with much gloom and bad news still to come, but the platform for recovery was perhaps taking shape.
In U.S. fixed-income markets, yields on the 90-day Treasury Bills briefly turned negative in December 2008, while the yield on the ten-year Treasury Note fell below 2.50%, something we had not seen in 50 years. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index(3), formerly known as the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, of investment grade bonds returned 4.10% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (5.20% for the entire fiscal year). By contrast, high yield bonds, represented by the Barclays Capital High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained

MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
Composite Index(4), formerly known as the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index, behaved more like a stock index and returned (25.10)% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 25.90% for the entire fiscal year).
U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500®”) Index(5), including dividends, returned (28.50)% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (down 37.00% for the entire fiscal year), increasingly unimpressed by sharply falling oil prices. Profits for S&P 500® Index companies suffered their fifth straight quarter of decline, led again by the financials sector, although taxpayer money was also potentially committed to save the big three auto makers from bankruptcy. On November 20, 2008, the S&P 500® Index plumbed a level not seen since April 1997, before a December recovery.
In international markets, plainly entering recession, the MSCI Japan® Index(6) slumped 35.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (down 42.60% for the entire fiscal year). The strengthening yen hit exports in an export-dependent economy even as global demand slowed for other reasons. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(7) sagged 29.40% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 43.20% for the entire fiscal year), beset by sharply falling economic activity and a European Central Bank in denial that inflation was falling fast. Finally, rates were reduced by an unprecedented 175 basis points (or 1.75%) in two months near the end of the year while governments, one after the other, proposed large stimulus packages. In the UK, the MSCI UK® Index(8) fell 19.40% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 28.50% for the entire fiscal year). The UK had allowed a bigger housing bubble than the United States and deeper personal indebtedness in an economy more dependent on the financial sector. Rates were reduced to 1951 levels as venerable banks ceased to exist as independent entities.

ING SOLUTION PORTFOLIOS | | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT |
The ING Solution Portfolios consist of ING Solution Growth Portfolio, ING Solution Growth and Income Portfolio, ING Solution Income Portfolio, ING Solution 2015 Portfolio, ING Solution 2025 Portfolio, ING Solution 2035 Portfolio, and ING Solution 2045 Portfolio (each a “Portfolio” or collectively, the “Portfolios” or the “Solution Portfolios”). Each Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of other ING Funds (“Underlying Funds”) according to target allocations determined by Directed Services LLC (“DSL” or “Investment Adviser”), under the guidance of an Investment Committee(1). ING Investment Management Co. (“Consultant”) is a consultant to the Investment Adviser. Both the Investment Adviser and the Consultant are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep.
Portfolio Specifics: The Investment Adviser uses an asset allocation process to determine each Portfolio’s investment mix. This asset allocation process can be found in the Prospectus. Each Portfolio’s approximate target investment allocations (expressed as a percentage of its net assets) among the asset classes in which the Portfolios invest are set out on page 6. As these are target allocations, the actual allocations of the Portfolios’ assets may deviate from the percentages shown.
Assets will be allocated among the Underlying Funds and markets based on judgments made by DSL. The performance of the Portfolios reflects the performance of the Underlying Funds in which each Portfolio invests and the weightings of each Portfolio’s assets in each Underlying Fund.
There is a risk that the Portfolios may allocate assets to an Underlying Fund or market that underperforms other asset classes. The Portfolios may be underweighted in assets or a market that is experiencing significant returns (or relative out performance) or overweighted in assets or a market with significant declines (or relative under performance).
The Investment Committee allocates each Portfolio’s assets among the Underlying Funds based on advice from the Consultant.
With respect to each Portfolio, we made a few tactical moves over the course of the year, including reducing, then eliminating, overweight positions in large cap blend and international stocks. We also moved from an overweight position in core bonds to an underweight, and are currently overweight high yield bonds. In addition, we increased our holdings in mid-cap, small-cap and real estate stocks to arrive at neutral positions.
For the one-year period ending December 31, 2008, in terms of underlying asset classes, mid-cap, large-cap value, domestic and global real estate, high-yield and short-term bond and emerging markets were among the most positive contributors to performance relative to their respective peer groups. Individual contributors to relative performance included ING BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio, ING Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth Portfolio, ING Van Kampen Real Estate Portfolio, ING Global Real Estate Portfolio, ING Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, ING Julius Baer Foreign Portfolio and ING JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio. ING BlackRock Large Cap Value Portfolio’s relative results were driven primarily by positive stock selection within and a favorable underweighting of the troubled financials sector. ING Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth Portfolio benefited from a significant overweight allocation to and positive stock selection within the healthcare sector. However, the Portfolio underperformed its index as a result of poor security selection in financials and information technology. Positive stock selection in office real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), an overweight in residential REITs and positive stock selection coupled with an underweight in retail REITs was beneficial to ING Van Kampen Real Estate Portfolio. ING Global Real Estate Portfolio’s success for the period came mainly from positive stock selection across all major regions and an overweight allocation to the U.S. For ING Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, an above-index duration stance and favorable yield curve positioning were the key drivers behind its solid relative results. However, an overweight in financials and poor security selection translated to its underperformance relative to its benchmark. ING Julius Baer Foreign Portfolio’s positive stock selection and overweight allocation to the materials sector was helpful to relative performance. However, the Portfolio underperformed its index as a result of poor security selection across the remaining sectors and a regional underweight to Japan. ING JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio benefited from positive stock selection in energy and technology, along with an overweight allocation to consumer staples.
Among the largest asset class detractors for the year relative to their respective peer groups were large-cap blend, foreign large growth and intermediate bond. In terms of individual underlying funds, detractors to relative performance included ING Davis New York Venture Portfolio, ING UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio, ING Legg Mason Value Portfolio, ING Marsico International Opportunities Portfolio, and ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio. ING Davis New York Venture Portfolio’s underperformance was due mainly to stock selection in consumer staples coupled with a large and unfavorable overweight allocation to financials. Stock selection in consumer discretionary and an unfavorable underweight allocation to consumer staples combined to hurt ING UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Portfolio’s results. ING Legg Mason Value Portfolio, a highly concentrated portfolio (fewer than 50 holdings), held large positions in several controversial names that dramatically underperformed the broad market; it was eliminated from the Portfolios during the period. ING Marsico International Opportunities Portfolio’s broadly unfavorable stock selection across multiple sectors and regions accounted for the bulk of its underperformance during the period. ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio’s underperformance was due primarily to an overweight allocation to non-agency mortgages plus an overweight and poor security selection among financials.
On an absolute basis, the Portfolios’ short term bond allocation contributed a positive return, while all other asset classes detracted from the Portfolios’ performance.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The year 2008 turned out to be a painful one for investors. Negative absolute returns in all equity classes were the result of a year underscored by a litany of issues: an escalating financial crisis, global recession fears, geopolitics, collapses of storied financial firms, unparalleled levels of market volatility, threat of deflation and a credit crunch that dried up liquidity in the bond markets. The housing market continues to remain weakened, industrial production has slowed and unemployment has risen. Intervention from the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Department of the Treasury appears to have slowed down the pace of negative news, but has not, as yet, halted it. Looking forward, we believe the recession will continue for the next two quarters, with growth resuming in the second half of 2009. We believe headline inflation will decline, and perhaps turn negative, but we don’t believe we are in the midst of a deflationary spiral. Finally, we believe a large fiscal stimulus program will be enacted by Congress early in 2009.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph and table above illustrate the total return of ING Solution Growth and Income Portfolio against the index 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 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.
Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Portfolio will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Portfolio’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data
shown. Please log on to www.ingfunds.com or call (800) 262-3862 to get performance through the most recent month end.
It is important to note that the Portfolio has a limited operating history. Performance over a longer period of time may be more meaningful than short-term performance.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption 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 (except as noted) and held for the entire period from July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. 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 the 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 before expenses),” 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.

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, 2008, 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.

The seven Portfolios included in this report are: ING Solution Growth and Income Portfolio (“Solution Growth and Income”), ING Solution Growth Portfolio (“Solution Growth”), 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”). With the exception of Solution Growth and Income, Solution Growth and Solution Income, each Portfolio is structured and managed around a specific target retirement or financial goal date (“Target Date”). The investment objectives of the Portfolios are as follows: Solution Growth and Income — seeks to provide a combination of total return and stability of principal through a diversified asset allocation strategy; Solution Growth — seeks to provide capital growth through a diversified asset allocation strategy; Solution Income — seeks to provide a combination of total return and stability of principal consistent with an asset allocation targeted to retirement; and for each of Solution 2015, 2025, 2035 and 2045 Portfolios — until the day prior to the Target Date, the Portfolio 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 Solution Income, without a vote of shareholders, if approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Portfolios serve as an investment option in underlying variable insurance products offered by Direct Services LLC (“DSL” or “Investment Adviser”).
Shares of the Portfolios 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 at least three of 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. Common expenses of the Portfolios (including custodial asset-based fees, legal and audit fees, printing and mailing expenses, transfer agency out-of-pocket expenses, and fees and expenses of the independent trustees) are allocated to each Portfolio in proportion to its average net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a particular Portfolio (including advisory, administration, custodial transaction-based, registration, other professional, distribution and/or service fees, certain taxes, and offering costs) are charged directly to that Portfolio. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if applicable.
Each Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other ING Funds (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Such policies are in conformity with 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. |
Effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Portfolios is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the investment adviser’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as
29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
“Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Portfolios’ investments under these levels of classification is included following each portfolios Portfolio of Investments.
Effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 133-1 and FASB Interpretation Number (“FIN”) 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161.” The amendments to FAS 133 require enhanced disclosure regarding credit derivatives sold, including (1) the nature and terms of the credit derivative, reasons for entering into the credit derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, (2) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative, (3) the fair value of the credit derivative, and (4) the nature of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. The amendments to FIN 45 require additional disclosures about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. All changes to accounting policies have been made in accordance with the FSP and incorporated for the current period as part of the Notes to Financial Statements and Portfolio of Investments.
B. | Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income received from the affiliated funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statement of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the affiliated funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification. |
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. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired. |
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 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 Underlying Fund. 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 |
30
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| 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 N.V. (“ING Groep”).
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.
ING Groep is a global financial institution of Dutch origin offering banking, investments, life insurance and retirement services to over 75 million private, corporate and institutional clients in more than 50 countries. With a diverse workforce of about 125,000 people, ING Groep comprises a broad spectrum of prominent companies that increasingly serve their clients under the ING brand.
On October 19, 2008, ING Groep announced that it reached an agreement with the Dutch government to strengthen its capital position, creating a strong buffer to navigate the current market and economic
environment. ING Groep will issue non-voting core Tier-1 securities for a total consideration of EUR 10 billion to the Dutch State. The transaction boosts ING Bank’s core Tier-1 ratio, strengthens the insurance balance sheet and reduces ING Groep’s Debt/Equity ratio.
Under an Administrative Services Agreement between the Portfolios and ING Fund Services, LLC (“IFS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, IFS provides all administrative services necessary for the Portfolios’ operations and is responsible for the supervision of the Portfolios’ other service providers. IFS also assumes all ordinary recurring direct costs of the Portfolios, such as custodian fees, director fees, transfer agency fees and accounting fees. As compensation for these services, IFS receives a monthly fee from each portfolio at an annual rate of 0.02% based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio.
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED UNDERLYING FUNDS

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 (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 each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class ADV and Class T shares, respectively. The Distributor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of this fee equal to 0.05% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the distribution fee paid by 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, 2010.

NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
(continued)
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 Class ADV, S and T shares.
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At December 31, 2008, the Portfolios had the following amounts recorded in payable to affiliates on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities (see Notes 3 and 5):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Portfolio | | Accrued Investment Management Fees | | Accrued Administrative Fees | | Accrued Shareholder Service and Distribution Fees | | Total |

Solution 2045 | | | 26,093 | | | 5,218 | | | 105,722 | | | 137,033 |
The Fund has adopted a Retirement Policy (“Policy”) covering all independent directors of the Fund who will have served as independent directors for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this Policy are based on an annual rate as defined in the Policy.
At December 31, 2008, the following indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep owned more than 5% of the following Series:
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company — Solution Growth and Income (100.00%); Solution Growth (99.99%); Solution Income (76.59%); Solution 2015 (83.49%); Solution 2025 (83.39%); Solution 2035 (84.53%); Solution 2045 (84.89%).
ING National Trust — Solution Income (19.07%); Solution 2015 (14.30%); Solution 2025 (15.11%); Solution 2035 (13.99%); Solution 2045 (15.54%).
Control is defined by the 1940 Act as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more
controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. The 1940 Act defines affiliates as companies that are under common control. Therefore, because the Portfolios have a common owner that owns over 25% of the outstanding securities of the Portfolios, they may be deemed to be affiliates of each other. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Portfolios.
NOTE 7 — EXPENSE LIMITATIONS
The Investment Adviser has agreed to limit expenses, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses to the levels listed below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Portfolio(1) | | Class ADV | | | Class I | | | Class S | | | Class T | |
Solution Growth and Income | | 0.62 | % | | 0.12 | % | | 0.37 | % | | N/A | |

Solution 2045 | | 0.62 | % | | 0.12 | % | | 0.37 | % | | 0.82 | % |
(1) | The operating expense limits apply only at the Portfolio level and do not limit the fees payable by the underlying investment companies in which the Portfolios invest. |
The Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from a Portfolio management fees waived and other expenses assumed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Portfolio’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees and any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations for each Portfolio.
As of December 31, 2008, the Portfolios did not have any waived or reimbursed fees subject to recoupment.
Outstanding reimbursement balances due to the Portfolios, if any, under their respective expense limitation agreements are reflected in Reimbursement Due from Manager on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The expense limitation agreement is contractual and shall renew automatically for one-year terms unless the Investment Adviser provides written notice of the termination of the expense limitation agreement within 90 days of the end of the then current term.

NOTE 9 — 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 return of capital.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2008:

NOTE 10 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (“SFAS No. 161”), “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This new accounting statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity invests in derivatives, (b) how derivatives are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and (c) how derivatives affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, management of the Portfolios is currently assessing the impact of the expanded financial statement disclosures that will result from adopting SFAS No. 161.
NOTE 11 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISK
The Portfolios are also affected by other kinds of risks, depending on the types of securities held or strategies used by an Underlying Fund.
Investment by Funds-of-Funds. Each of the Underlying Funds’ shares may be purchased by other investment companies. In some cases, an Underlying Fund may experience large inflows or redemptions due to allocations or rebalancing. While it is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions over time, there could be adverse effects on portfolio management. The Investment Adviser will monitor transactions by each Underlying Fund and will attempt to minimize any adverse effects on the Underlying Funds and the Portfolios as a result of these transactions. So long as an Underlying Fund accepts investments by other investment companies, it will not purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or under the terms of an exemptive order granted by the SEC.
Asset Allocation. Although asset allocation seeks to optimize returns given various levels of risk tolerance, you still may lose money and experience volatility. Market and asset class performance may differ in the future from the historical performance and the
35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
assumptions used to form the asset allocations for the Portfolios. Furthermore, the Investment Adviser’s allocation of a Portfolio’s assets may not anticipate market trends successfully. Assets will be allocated among Underlying Funds and markets based on judgments made by the Investment Adviser. There is a risk that the Portfolios may allocate assets to an asset class or market that underperforms other Underlying Funds. For example, a Portfolio may be underweighted in assets or a market that is experiencing significant returns or overweighted in assets or a market with significant declines.
Foreign Securities. Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which an Underlying Fund may invest are denominated in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Underlying Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Underlying Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as changes vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar from movements in currency, and changes in security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the Underlying Funds’ investments.
NOTE 12 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
As discussed in earlier supplements that were previously filed with the SEC, DSL, the adviser to the ING Funds, has 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 N.V., 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. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading has been 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.
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.
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 |

NOTE 11 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISK (continued)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 12 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
| 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 the indemnification commitments made by ING Funds related to mutual fund trading have been settled and restitution amounts prepared by an independent consultant have been paid to the affected ING Funds. |
• | | 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. |
Other Regulatory Matters
The New York Attorney General 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 concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.
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 CONTRACT
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) provides that, after an initial period, the Portfolios’ existing investment advisory contract will remain in effect only if the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ING Partners, Inc. (the “Company”), including a majority of Board members who have no direct or indirect interest in the advisory contract, and who are not “interested persons” of the Company, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), annually review and approve the contract. Thus, at a meeting held on November 14, 2008, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, considered whether to renew the investment advisory contract (the “Advisory Contract”) between Directed Services LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Company, on behalf of the Portfolios.
The Independent Directors also held separate meetings on October 24 and November 12, 2008 to consider the renewal of the Advisory Contract. As a result, subsequent references herein to factors considered and determinations made by the Independent Directors include, as applicable, factors considered and determinations made on those earlier dates by the Independent Directors.
At its November 14, 2008 meeting, the Board voted to renew the Advisory Contract for the Portfolios. In reaching these decisions, the Board took into account information furnished to it throughout the year at regular meetings of the Board and the Board’s committees, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewal process. Determinations by the Independent Directors also took into account various factors that they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them by K&L Gates LLP (“K&L Gates”), their independent legal counsel, and their own business judgment, to be relevant. Further, while the advisory contracts for all the funds in the ING Funds complex were considered at the same Board meeting, the Directors considered each Portfolio’s advisory relationship separately.
Provided below is an overview of the Board’s contract approval process in general, as well as a discussion of certain specific factors that the Board considered at its renewal meeting. While the Board gave its attention to the information furnished, at its request, that was most relevant to its considerations, 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, 2009. Each Board member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Portfolio’s advisory arrangement.
Overview of the Contract Renewal and Approval Process
Several years ago, the Independent Directors instituted a revised process by which they seek and consider relevant information when they decide whether to approve new or existing advisory arrangements for the investment companies in the ING Funds complex under their jurisdiction, including the Portfolios’ existing Advisory Contract. Among other actions, the Independent Directors: retained the services of independent consultants 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 and to help evaluate that information; established a specific format in which certain requested information is provided to the Board; and determined the process for reviewing such information in connection with Advisory Contract renewals and approvals. The end result was an enhanced process which is currently employed by the Independent Directors to review and analyze information in connection with their annual renewal of the ING Funds’ advisory contracts, as well as their review and approval of new advisory relationships.
Since the current renewal and approval process was first implemented, the Board’s membership has changed substantially through periodic retirements of some Directors and the appointment and election of new Directors. In addition, throughout this period the Independent Directors have reviewed and refined the renewal and approval process at least annually. The Board also established a Contracts Committee and two Investment Review Committees, including the International/Balanced/Fixed Income Funds Investment Review Committee (the “I/B/F IRC”). Among other matters, the Contracts Committee provides oversight with respect to the contracts renewal process, and each Portfolio is assigned to the I/B/F IRC, which provides oversight regarding, among other matters, investment performance.
The type and format of the information provided to the Board or to legal counsel for the Independent
51
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Directors in connection with the contract approval and renewal process has been codified in the Portfolios’ 15(c) Methodology Guide. This Guide was developed under the direction of the Independent Directors and sets out a blueprint pursuant to which the Independent Directors request certain information that they deem important to facilitate an informed review in connection with initial and annual approvals of advisory contracts.
Management provides certain of the information requested by the 15(c) Methodology Guide in Fund Analysis and Comparison Tables (“FACT sheets”) prior to the Independent Directors’ review of advisory arrangements (including the Portfolios’ Advisory Contract). The Independent Directors previously retained an independent firm to verify and test the accuracy of certain FACT sheet data for a representative sample of funds in the ING Funds complex. In addition, in 2007 and 2008, the Contracts Committee employed the services of an independent consultant to assist in its review and analysis of, among other matters, the 15(c) Methodology Guide, the content and format of the FACT sheets, and proposed Selected Peer Groups of investment companies (��Selected Peer Group”) to be used by the Portfolios for certain comparison purposes during the renewal process.
As part of an ongoing process, the Contracts Committee recommends or considers recommendations from Management for refinements to the 15(c) Methodology Guide and other aspects of the review process, and the Board’s Investment Review Committees, including the I/B/F IRC, reviews benchmarks used to assess the performance of the funds in the ING Funds complex. The Investment Review Committees may apply a heightened level of scrutiny in cases where performance has lagged an ING Fund’s relevant benchmark and/or Selected Peer Group.
The Board employed its process for reviewing contracts when considering the renewal of the Portfolios’ Advisory Contract that would be effective through November 30, 2009. Set forth below is a discussion of many of the Board’s primary considerations and conclusions resulting from this process.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Service
In determining whether to approve the Advisory Contract for the Portfolios for the year ending November 30, 2009, 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 meetings of the Board and its committees, as well as information furnished in connection with the contract renewal meetings.
The materials requested by and provided to the Board and/or to K&L Gates prior to the November 14, 2008 Board meeting included, among other information, the following items for each Portfolio: (1) FACT sheets that provided information regarding the performance and expenses of the Portfolio and other similarly managed funds in its Selected Peer Group, as well as information regarding the Portfolio’s investment portfolio, objective and strategies; (2) reports providing risk and attribution analyses of each Portfolio; (3) the 15(c) Methodology Guide, which describes how the FACT sheets were prepared, including the manner in which each Portfolio’s benchmark and Selected Peer Group was selected and how profitability was determined; (4) responses from the Adviser to a series of questions posed by K&L Gates on behalf of the Directors; (5) copies of the form of Advisory Contract; (6) copies of the Form ADV for the Adviser; (7) financial statements for the Adviser; (8) a draft of a narrative summary addressing key factors the Board customarily considers in evaluating the renewals of the ING Funds’ (including the Portfolios’) advisory contracts, including a written analysis for the Portfolio of how performance, fees and expenses compare to its Selected Peer Group and/or designated benchmark; (9) independent analyses of Portfolio performance by the Company’s Chief Investment Risk Officer; (10) information regarding net asset flows into and out of each Portfolio; and (11) other information relevant to the Board’s evaluations.
Class I shares of the Portfolios were used for purposes of certain comparisons between the Portfolios and their Selected Peer Groups. Class I shares generally were selected so that a Portfolio’s share class with the longest performance history was compared to the analogous class of shares for each fund in its Selected Peer Group. The mutual funds included in each Portfolio’s Selected Peer Group were selected based upon criteria designed to mirror the Portfolio share 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 that has been developed by Management, under which it oversees the sub-advisers to the underlying funds in which the Portfolios invest. The Board noted the
52
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
resources that the Adviser has committed to the Board and the I/B/F IRC to assist the Board and the I/B/F IRC 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 Board’s Investment Review Committees to analyze the key factors underlying investment performance for the funds in the ING Funds complex.
The Board also noted the proactive approach that the Adviser, working in cooperation with the IRCs, has taken to advocate or recommend, when it believed appropriate, changes designed to assist in improving the Portfolios’ performance.
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 such funds or among ING Funds available on a product platform, and the wide range of ING Funds available for exchange or transfer. The Board also took into account the Adviser’s efforts in recent years to reduce the expenses of the ING Funds through renegotiated 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 codes of ethics. The Board considered reports from the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) evaluating whether the regulatory compliance systems and procedures of the Adviser are reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws, including those related to, among others, late trading and market timing, best execution, fair value pricing, proxy voting and trade allocation practices. The Board also took into account the CCO’s annual and periodic reports and recommendations with respect to service provider 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 the Portfolios’ 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. 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 sufficient to sustain appropriate levels of performance and compliance 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 the advisory relationship, the Board placed emphasis on the net investment returns of each Portfolio. 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 FACT sheets furnished in connection with the renewal process. The FACT sheet prepared for each Portfolio included its investment performance compared to the Portfolio’s Morningstar category median, Lipper category median, Selected Peer Group and primary benchmark. The FACT sheet performance data was as of June 30, 2008. In addition, the Board also considered at its November 14, 2008 meeting certain additional data regarding performance and Portfolio asset levels as of October 31, 2008. The Board’s findings specific to each Portfolio’s performance is discussed below.
Economies of Scale
When evaluating the reasonableness of advisory fee rates, the Board also considered whether economies of scale will be realized by the Adviser as a Portfolio grows larger and the extent to which any such economies are reflected in contractual fee rates. In this regard, while each Portfolio is subject to a level advisory fee rate, the Board noted that any breakpoints in advisory fee schedules of certain underlying funds in which the Portfolios invest would result in a lower advisory fee rate for the underlying fund when the fund achieves sufficient asset levels to receive a breakpoint discount.
53
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Further, each Portfolio benefits from expense limits and waivers of certain fees, and the Board also considered the extent to which economies of scale could be realized through such limitations and waivers.
In evaluating economies of scale, the Independent Directors also considered prior periodic management reports and industry information on this topic, and the Independent Directors who were Board members at that time also considered a November 2006 evaluation and analysis presented to them by an independent consultant regarding fee breakpoint arrangements and economies of scale.
The Board also considered that the Portfolios had experienced material declines in assets, especially during October 2008, due to general market declines precipitated by the credit crises and other generally adverse market developments. As a result of these asset declines, the Board considered that there were fewer opportunities to realize economies of scale.
Information Regarding Services to Other Clients
The Board requested and considered information regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser to other clients, including other registered investment companies and institutional accounts. When fee rates offered to other clients differed materially from those charged to a Portfolio, the Board considered any underlying rationale provided by the Adviser for these differences. The Board also noted that the fee rates charged to the Portfolios and other institutional clients of the Adviser (including other investment companies) may differ materially due to, among other reasons: differences in services; different regulatory requirements associated with registered investment companies, such as the Portfolios, as compared to non-registered investment company clients; market differences in fee rates that existed when a Portfolio first was organized; differences in the original sponsors of Portfolios that now are managed by the Adviser; investment capacity constraints that existed when certain contracts were first agreed upon or that might exist at present; and different pricing structures that are necessary to be competitive in different marketing channels.
Fee Rates and Profitability
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rate, combined with the administrative fee rate, payable by the Portfolios to the Adviser. In addition, the Board considered fee waivers
and expense limitations applicable to the fees payable by the Portfolios.
The Board considered the fee structure of the Portfolios as it relates 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 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.
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 related assumptions) specified in the 15(c) 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.
Further, the Board considered that the decline in asset levels of the Portfolios caused by recent adverse economic conditions was likely to cause a similar decline in any profits realized by 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 or capture Management’s entrepreneurial risk associated with offering and managing a mutual fund complex in the current regulatory and market environment.
Based on the information on revenues, costs, and profitability considered by the Board, and after considering the factors described in this section, the Board concluded that the profits, if any, realized by the Adviser were not excessive. In making its determinations, the Board based its conclusions on the reasonableness of the advisory fees of the Adviser primarily on the factors described for the Portfolios below.

Portfolio-by- Portfolio Analysis
The following paragraphs outline certain of the specific factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions reached, at its November 14, 2008 meeting in relation to renewing the Portfolios’ current Advisory Contract for the year ending November 30, 2009. These specific factors are in addition to those considerations discussed above. In each case, each 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. With respect to Morningstar quintile rankings, the first quintile represents the highest (best) performance and the fifth quintile represents the lowest performance. The Portfolios’ management fees and expense ratios were compared to the fees and expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Groups.
ING Solution Growth and Income Portfolio
In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Advisory Contract for ING Solution Growth and Income Portfolio, the Board considered that, based on performance data for the periods ended June 30, 2008: (1) the Portfolio underperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented; (2) the Portfolio underperformed its primary benchmark for all periods presented; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in the fifth (lowest) quintile of its Morningstar category for all periods presented.
In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account the Portfolio launched in July 2007 and, therefore, had a limited operating history for the purpose of analyzing its performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for the 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 (including 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 the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing the 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 was launched in July 2007 and it is reasonable to permit the Portfolio to establish a longer operating history for the purposes 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, 2009. During this renewal process, different Board members may have given different weight to different individual factors and related conclusions.
ING Solution Growth Portfolio

In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account the Portfolio launched in July 2007, and therefore, had a limited operating history for the purpose of analyzing its performance.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for the 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 (including 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 the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing the 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
55
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; (2) the Portfolio’s expense ratio is reasonable in the context of all factors considered by the Board; and (3) the Portfolio was launched in July 2007 and it is reasonable to permit the Portfolio to establish a longer operating history for the purposes of evaluating performance.

In analyzing this performance data, the Board took into account: (1) Management’s discussion of peer group construction and its analysis regarding adjustments to the Portfolio’s asset allocation; (2) the recent removal of a poorly performing fund from the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests; and (3) the negative effect of sector allocations in the underlying funds.
In considering the fees payable under the Advisory Contract for the 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 (including 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 the average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. In analyzing the 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 Adviser recently removed a poorly performing fund from the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests, and it is reasonable to provide time to evaluate the effect of this change.

Dear Shareholders,
We are in the midst of one of the most challenging periods ever faced by investors, and we at ING Funds are aware of the anxiety that you may be feeling at this time.
I want to assure you that we are actively engaged in monitoring the situation and are committed to keeping you fully informed of how the rapidly unfolding events around us may impact your investments with our company.
We recognize that the confidence of many investors is being tested, perhaps as never before. It is understandable that some of you may be second guessing your investment strategy due to these recent events. We encourage you to work with your investment professional and seek out their advice about your portfolio in light of the current conditions. But we also urge investors not to make rash decisions. ING Funds still believes that a well-diversified, globally allocated portfolio remains the most effective
investment strategy of all. We ask that investors not lose sight of their commitment to the long-term.
We thank you for your support and confidence and we look forward to continuing to do business with you in the future.
Sincerely,

MARKET PERSPECTIVE FOR THEYEARENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
In our semi-annual report, we described a failed second quarter rally that fizzled when investors realized that borderline recessionary conditions and a credit crunch had not gone away. By year-end, governments were committing previously unimaginable sums of taxpayer money to prevent systemic collapse. Global equities in the form of the MSCI World® Index(1) measured in local currencies, including net reinvested dividends (“MSCI” for regions discussed below) plunged 29.70% in the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 38.70% for the entire fiscal year). (The MSCI World® Index plunged 40.71% for the entire fiscal year, measured in U.S. dollars.) In currencies, the dollar at first drifted near record lows against the euro. But the tide turned in mid-July and for the six months ended December 31, 2008, the dollar strengthened by 12.10% (4.50% for the entire fiscal year). The dollar also soared 37.80% against the pound for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (37.90% for the entire fiscal year). But the yen advanced as carry trades (essentially short yen positions) were unwound and the dollar fell 14.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 19.60% for the entire fiscal year).
Even more dramatic was the price of oil which marched to an all-time high of around $147 per barrel in mid-July, only to lose more than two thirds of that price by December 31, 2008.
The economic statistics remained bleak. By the end of October, the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”)/Case-Shiller National U.S. Home Price Index(2) of house prices had fallen a record 18% over the year. New home sales were at 1991 levels. Some 45% of existing home sales were distressed.
Payrolls declined in every month of 2008, as the number of people claiming unemployment reached 4.1 million, a 26-year high. Gross domestic product (“GDP”) fell at an annualized rate of 0.50% in the third quarter, and the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the recession had actually started in December 2007.
Yet these were side-shows to the fireworks display in the financial sector, where major institutions — hanging by a thread through problems rooted in unwise mortgage borrowing, lending and investment — met different fates in September 2008 at the hands of the U.S. government.
The Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) were taken into “conservatorship.” Merrill Lynch was acquired by the
Bank of America with a wink from the authorities. AIG received an $85 billion loan from a reluctant government, which also took a 79.90% equity stake in AIG. But Lehman Brothers having sought capital, then a buyer, found neither and was left to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The U.S. government was now in the position of choosing winners and losers among financial institutions: none too successfully, for it quickly became obvious that by pointedly leaving Lehman Brothers to go under, a credit crisis had become a credit market collapse. Lending all but seized up.
Policy response was huge but at least initially muddled. A Troubled Asset Relief Plan (“TARP”) would set up a $700 billion fund to buy illiquid mortgage securities from financial institutions. But on November 12, 2008 with half of the money already used to recapitalize banks, Treasury Secretary Paulson announced that the rest of the funds would not be used to buy illiquid mortgage securities after all. This merely renewed the pressure on the holders of such securities like Citigroup, which within two weeks received guarantees from the government against losses and another $20 billion in capital.
Other programs were of more practical use, like support for the commercial paper market and a guarantee facility for money market funds. Arguably the most effective measure was the announced intention to buy vast quantities of agency mortgage-backed securities and debentures. This had the effect of driving down rates on the 30-year mortgage towards 5.00%, a record low. In the meantime, the newly-elected president promised a stimulus package worth approximately $1 trillion. And by year end, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) reduced interest rates to a range of between 0% and 0.25%.
2008 ended with much gloom and bad news still to come, but the platform for recovery was perhaps taking shape.
In U.S. fixed-income markets, yields on the 90-day Treasury Bills briefly turned negative in December 2008, while the yield on the ten-year Treasury Note fell below 2.50%, something we had not seen in 50 years. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index(3), formerly known as the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, of investment grade bonds returned 4.10% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (5.20% for the entire fiscal year). By contrast, high yield bonds, represented by the Barclays Capital High Yield Bond—2% Issuer Constrained

MARKET PERSPECTIVE FORTHEYEARENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
Composite Index(4), formerly known as the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index, behaved more like a stock index and returned (25.10)% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 25.90% for the entire fiscal year).
U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Composite Stock Price (“S&P 500®”) Index(5), including dividends, returned (28.50)% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (down 37.00% for the entire fiscal year), increasingly unimpressed by sharply falling oil prices. Profits for S&P 500® Index companies suffered their fifth straight quarter of decline, led again by the financials sector, although taxpayer money was also potentially committed to save the big three auto makers from bankruptcy. On November 20, 2008, the S&P 500® Index plumbed a level not seen since April 1997, before a December recovery.
In international markets, plainly entering recession, the MSCI Japan® Index(6) slumped 35.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2008, (down 42.60% for the entire fiscal year). The strengthening yen hit exports in an export-dependent economy even as global demand slowed for other reasons. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(7) sagged 29.40% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 43.20% for the entire fiscal year), beset by sharply falling economic activity and a European Central Bank in denial that inflation was falling fast. Finally, rates were reduced by an unprecedented 175 basis points (or 1.75%) in two months near the end of the year while governments, one after the other, proposed large stimulus packages. In the UK, the MSCI UK® Index(8) fell 19.40% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 (down 28.50% for the entire fiscal year). The UK had allowed a bigger housing bubble than the United States and deeper personal indebtedness in an economy more dependent on the financial sector. Rates were reduced to 1951 levels as venerable banks ceased to exist as independent entities.

ING INDEX SOLUTION PORTFOLIOS | | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT |
The ING Index Solution Portfolios consist of ING Index Solution Income Portfolio, ING Index Solution 2015 Portfolio, ING Index Solution 2025 Portfolio, ING Index Solution 2035 Portfolio, and ING Index Solution 2045 Portfolio (each a “Portfolio” or collectively, the “Portfolios” or the “Index Solution Portfolios”). Each Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of other ING Funds (“Underlying Funds”) according to target allocations determined by Directed Services LLC (“DSL” or “Investment Adviser”), under the guidance of an Investment Committee(1). ING Investment Management Co. (“Consultant”) is a consultant to the Investment Adviser. Both the Investment Adviser and the Consultant are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep.
Portfolio Specifics: The Investment Adviser uses an asset allocation process to determine each Portfolio’s investment mix. This asset allocation process can be found in the Prospectus. Each Portfolio’s approximate target investment allocations (expressed as a percentage of its net assets) among the asset classes in which the Portfolios invest are set out on page 5. As these are target allocations, the actual allocations of the Portfolios’ assets may deviate from the percentages shown.
Assets will be allocated among the Underlying Funds and markets based on judgments made by DSL. The performance of the Portfolios reflects the performance of the Underlying Funds in which each Portfolio invests and the weightings of each Portfolio’s assets in each Underlying Fund.
There is a risk that the Portfolios may allocate assets to an Underlying Fund or market that underperforms other asset classes. The Portfolios may be underweighted in assets or a market that is experiencing significant returns (or relative out performance) or overweighted in assets or a market with significant declines (or relative under performance).
The Investment Committee allocates each Portfolio’s assets among the Underlying Funds based on advice from the Consultant.
Since the Portfolios’ inception in March 2008, all equity asset classes experienced negative returns. Fixed income was the best performing asset class, while international equities and REITs were the worst performing asset classes. On a relative basis, domestic equities outperformed international equities. Within international, developed non-U.S. stocks outperformed emerging markets stocks. Within domestic equity, small cap stocks outperformed large cap stocks and large cap stocks outperformed mid cap stocks. Within fixed income, Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”) underperformed other investment grade bonds and high yield bonds lagged all investment grade bonds significantly from the period of the Portfolios’ inception through December 31, 2008.
The Portfolios are comprised of the following five underlying funds:
ING Russell Large Cap Index Portfolio
ING Russell Mid Cap Index Portfolio
ING Russell Small Cap Index Portfolio
ING International Index Portfolio
ING Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio
Several small tactical moves were made during the year. An overweight position within international equities, along with an underweight position within small cap and mid cap domestic equities, was implemented at the beginning of the second quarter and unwound at the end of that quarter. An overweight to domestic large cap equities and a corresponding underweight to fixed income was implemented at the beginning of the second quarter and unwound at the end of the third quarter. The year closed with the Portfolios neutral with respect to their target strategic weightings within each asset class.
Current Strategy and Outlook: The year 2008 turned out to be a painful one for investors. Negative absolute returns in all equity classes were the result of a year underscored by a litany of issues: an escalating financial crisis, global recession fears, geopolitics, collapses of storied financial firms, unparalleled levels of market volatility, threat of deflation and a credit crunch that dried up liquidity in the bond markets. The housing market continues to remain weakened, industrial production has slowed and unemployment has risen. Intervention from the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Department of the Treasury appears to have slowed down the pace of negative news, but has not, as yet, halted it. Looking forward, we believe the recession will continue for the next two quarters, with growth resuming in the second half of 2009. Net exports should continue to contribute to growth, but not as much as in the past few years. Housing should be less of a drag on the economy in 2009. With two-thirds of its loans related to real estate, we believe the banking sector is unlikely to recover fully until house prices stop falling. We believe headline inflation will decline, and perhaps turn negative, but we don’t believe we are in the midst of a deflationary spiral. Finally, we believe a large fiscal stimulus program will be enacted by Congress early in 2009. Without further clarity in the vastly fluctuating markets, we intend to remain neutral until such time we have additional information.
(1) The members of the Investment Committee are: William A. Evans, Michael J. Roland, and Paul Zemsky.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for these Portfolios 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.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption 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 (except as noted) and held for the entire period from July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. 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 the 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 before expenses),” 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.

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).

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, 2008, 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, 2008, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the period specified in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF DECEMBER 31, 2008
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. 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, each of which has its own investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Fund currently consists of thirty-six Portfolios. The five Portfolios included in this report are: ING Index Solution Income Portfolio (“Index Solution Income”), ING Index Solution 2015 Portfolio (“Index Solution 2015”), ING Index Solution 2025 Portfolio (“Index Solution 2025”), ING Index Solution 2035 Portfolio (“Index Solution 2035”) and ING Index Solution 2045 Portfolio (“Index Solution 2045”) (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”). With the exception of Index Solution Income, each Portfolio is structured and managed around a specific target retirement or financial goal date (“Target Date”). The investment objectives of the Portfolios are as follows: Index Solution Income — seeks to provide a combination of total return and stability of principal consistent with an asset allocation targeted to retirement; for each of Index Solution 2015, 2025, 2035 and 2045 Portfolios — until the day prior to the Target Date, the Portfolio 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 Index Solution 2015, 2025, 2035 and 2045 Portfolios reach their respective Target Date, they may be combined with the Index Solution Income, without a vote of shareholders, if approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Portfolios serve as an investment option in underlying variable insurance products offered by Direct Services LLC (“DSL” or “Investment Adviser”).
Shares of the Portfolios 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. Common expenses of the Portfolios (including custodial asset-based fees, legal and audit fees, printing and mailing expenses, transfer agency out-of-pocket expenses, and fees and expenses of the independent trustees) are allocated to each Portfolio in proportion to its relative daily net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a particular Portfolio (including advisory, administration, custodial transaction-based, registration, other professional, distribution and/or service fees, certain taxes, and offering costs) are charged directly to that Portfolio. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if applicable.
Each Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other ING Funds (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Such policies are in conformity with 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. |
Effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Portfolios is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the investment-adviser’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table
23
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
summarizing the Portfolios’ investments under these levels of classification is included following each portfolios Portfolio of Investments.
Effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 133-1 and FASB Interpretation Number (“FIN”) 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161.” The amendments to FAS 133 require enhanced disclosure regarding credit derivatives sold, including (1) the nature and terms of the credit derivative, reasons for entering into the credit derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, (2) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative, (3) the fair value of the credit derivative, and (4) the nature of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. The amendments to FIN 45 require additional disclosures about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. All changes to accounting policies will be made in accordance with the FSP and will be incorporated for the relevant period as part of the Notes to Financial Statements and Portfolio of Investments, if applicable.
B. | Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income received from the affiliated funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statement of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the affiliated funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification. |
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. Management has considered the sustainability of the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired. |
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 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 Underlying Fund. 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 |
24
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
| 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 each have 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% based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. Both the Investment Adviser and the Consultant are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.Y. (“ING Groep”).
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.
ING Groep is a global financial institution of Dutch origin offering banking, investments, life insurance and retirement services to over 75 million private, corporate and institutional clients in more than 50 countries. With a diverse workforce of about 125,000 people, ING Groep comprises a broad spectrum of prominent companies that increasingly serve their clients under the ING brand.
On October 19, 2008, ING Groep announced that it reached an agreement with the Dutch government to strengthen its capital position, creating a strong buffer to navigate the current market and economic environment. ING Groep will issue non-voting core Tier-1 securities for a total consideration of EUR 10 billion to the Dutch State. The transaction boosts ING Bank’s core Tier-1 ratio, strengthens the insurance balance sheet and reduces ING Groep’s Debt/Equity ratio.
Under an Administrative Services Agreement between the Portfolios and ING Fund Services, LLC (“IFS”), an
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, IFS provides all administrative services necessary for the Portfolios’ operations and is responsible for the supervision of the Portfolios’ other service providers. IFS also assumes all ordinary recurring direct costs of the Portfolios, such as custodian fees, director fees, transfer agency fees and accounting fees. As compensation for these services, IFS receives a monthly fee from each portfolio at an annual rate of 0.02% based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio.
NOTE 4 — INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED UNDERLYING FUNDS
For the period ended December 31, 2008, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of the Underlying Funds were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Non U.S. Government |
| | Purchases | | Sales |
Index Solution Income | | $ | 4,849,054 | | $ | 640,187 |
Index Solution 2015 | | | 15,603,924 | | | 1,716,777 |
Index Solution 2025 | | | 19,374,856 | | | 824,675 |

Index Solution 2045 | | | 6,053,116 | | | 223,812 |
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 (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 a portion of its fee equal to 0.05% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets attributable to the distribution fee paid by 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, 2010.
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
25
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
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 Class ADV, S and T shares.
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
At December 31, 2008, the Portfolios had the following amounts recorded in payable to affiliates on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities (see Note 5):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Accrued Investment Management Fees | | Accrued Administrative Fees | | Accrued Shareholder Service and Distribution Fees | | Total |
Index Solution Income | | $ | 333 | | $ | 67 | | $ | 1,325 | | $ | 1,725 |
Index Solution 2015 | | | 985 | | | 197 | | | 4,066 | | | 5,248 |
Index Solution 2025 | | | 1,130 | | | 226 | | | 4,788 | | | 6,144 |
Index Solution 2035 | | | 926 | | | 185 | | | 3,755 | | | 4,866 |
Index Solution 2045 | | | 350 | | | 70 | | | 1,356 | | | 1,776 |
The Fund has adopted a Retirement Policy (“Policy”) covering all independent directors of the Fund who will have served as independent directors for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this Policy are based on an annual rate as defined in the Policy.
At December 31, 2008, the following indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep owned more than 5% of the following Series:
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company — Index Solution Income (94.11%); Index Solution 2015 (98.10%); Index Solution 2025 (98.80%); Index Solution 2035 (97.28%); Index Solution 2045 (94.08%).
Control is defined by the 1940 Act as the beneficial ownership, either directly or through one or more controlled companies, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a company. The 1940 Act defines affiliates as companies that are under common control.
Therefore, because the Portfolios have a common owner that owns over 25% of the outstanding securities of the Portfolios, they may be deemed to be affiliates of each other. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Portfolios.
NOTE 7 — EXPENSE LIMITATIONS
The Investment Adviser has agreed to limit expenses, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses to the levels listed below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Portfolio(1) | | Class ADV | | | Class I | | | Class S | | | Class T | |
Index Solution Income | | 0.62 | % | | 0.12 | % | | 0.37 | % | | 0.82 | % |
Index Solution 2015 | | 0.62 | % | | 0.12 | % | | 0.37 | % | | 0.82 | % |
Index Solution 2025 | | 0.62 | % | | 0.12 | % | | 0.37 | % | | 0.82 | % |
Index Solution 2035 | | 0.62 | % | | 0.12 | % | | 0.37 | % | | 0.82 | % |
Index Solution 2045 | | 0.62 | % | | 0.12 | % | | 0.37 | % | | 0.82 | % |
(1) | The operating expense limits apply only at the Portfolio level and do not limit the fees payable by the underlying investment companies in which the Portfolios invest. |
The Investment Adviser may at a later date recoup from a Portfolio management fees waived and other expenses assumed by the Investment Adviser during the previous 36 months, but only if, after such recoupment, the Portfolio’s expense ratio does not exceed the percentage described above. Waived and reimbursed fees and any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations for each Portfolio.
As of December 31, 2008, the Portfolios did not have any waived or reimbursed fees subject to recoupment.
Outstanding reimbursement balances due to the Portfolios, if any, under their respective expense limitation agreements are reflected in Reimbursement Due from Manager on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The expense limitation agreement is contractual and shall renew automatically for one-year terms unless the Investment Adviser provides written notice of the termination of the expense limitation agreement within 90 days of the end of the then current term.

NOTE 9 — 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 return of capital.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2008:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Paid-in Capital | | | Undistributed Net Investment Income | | Accumulated Net Realized Gains/ (Losses) | |
Index Solution Income | | $ | (11 | ) | | $ | 4,662 | | $ | (4,651 | ) |

Index Solution 2045 | | | (19 | ) | | | 375 | | | (356 | ) |
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.
No dividends or distributions were made during the period ended December 31, 2008.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings as of December 31, 2008 were:
| | | | | | | |
| | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | |
Index Solution Income | | $ | 46,922 | | $ | (62,320 | ) |

The Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions are federal and Arizona. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2008.
NOTE 10 — OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (“SFAS No. 161”), “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This new accounting
statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity invests in derivatives, (b) how derivatives are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and (c) how derivatives affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding credit-risk-related contingent features of derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, management of the Portfolios is currently assessing the impact of the expanded financial statement disclosures that will result from adopting SFAS No. 161.
NOTE 11 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISK
The Portfolios are also affected by other kinds of risks, depending on the types of securities held or strategies used by an Underlying Fund.
Investment by Funds-of-Funds. Each of the Underlying Funds’ shares may be purchased by other investment companies. In some cases, an Underlying Fund may experience large inflows or redemptions due to allocations or rebalancing. While it is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions over time, there could be adverse effects on portfolio management. The Investment Adviser will monitor transactions by each Underlying Fund and will attempt to minimize any adverse effects on the Underlying Funds and the Portfolios as a result of these transactions. So long as an Underlying Fund accepts investments by other investment companies, it will not purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or under the terms of an exemptive order granted by the SEC.
Asset Allocation. Although asset allocation seeks to optimize returns given various levels of risk tolerance, you still may lose money and experience volatility. Market and asset class performance may differ in the future from the historical performance and the assumptions used to form the asset allocations for the Portfolios. Furthermore, the Investment Adviser’s allocation of a Portfolio’s assets may not anticipate market trends successfully. Assets will be allocated among Underlying Funds and markets based on judgments made by the Investment Adviser. There is a risk that the Portfolios may allocate assets to an asset class or market that underperforms other Underlying Funds. For example, a Portfolio may be underweighted
28
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 11 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISK (continued)
in assets or a market that is experiencing significant returns or overweighted in assets or a market with significant declines.
Foreign Securities: Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which an Underlying Fund may invest are denominated in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Underlying Funds. Foreign investments may also subject the Underlying Funds to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, as well as changes vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar from movements in currency, and changes in security value and interest rate, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the Underlying Funds’ investments.
NOTE 12 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
As discussed in earlier supplements that were previously filed with the SEC, DSL, the adviser to the ING Funds, has 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 N.V., 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. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading has been 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.
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.
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 SEC. DSL reported to the Boards that the indemnification commitments made by ING Funds related to mutual fund trading have been settled and restitution amounts prepared by an independent consultant have been paid to the affected ING Funds. |

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. |
Other Regulatory Matters
The New York Attorney General 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 concerning their administration of the New Hampshire state employees deferred compensation plan.
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.

A unanimous vote of the Board may extend the retirement date of a Director for up to one year. An extension may be permitted if the retirement would trigger a requirement to hold a meeting of shareholders of the Fund under applicable law, whether for purposes of appointing a successor to the Director or if otherwise necessary under applicable law, in which case the extension would apply until such time as the shareholder meeting can be held or is no longer needed. |

(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
2
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.
