MARKET PERSPECTIVE: SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
For a while, as our new fiscal year got under way, it seemed as if the worst had passed. Bear Stearns’ forced sale to JP Morgan had proved that some market players were indeed too connected to fail. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), which had been reducing rates since August, had then cut the discount rate further, by 100 basis points to 2.5% and the federal funds rate by 75 basis points to 2.25%, following this up by opening the discount window to other primary dealers. The improved sentiment was sustained by another federal funds rate cut of 0.25%.
But what had really changed? The housing market continued its inexorable slide, with the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”)/Case-Shiller National U.S. Home Price Index(1) of house prices in 20 major cities down a record 16.3%. New home sales were at the lowest level since early 1991 and one third of existing home sales were distressed. Banks continued to restrict credit and 30-year fixed mortgage rates reached a six-year high. By September, payrolls had declined for eight consecutive months and the unemployment rate rose to 6.1%, a five-year high.
And there were more fireworks in the financial sector.
Government sponsored mortgage lending agencies, specifically, the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), lightly capitalized for their trillions in liabilities, were by any rational assessment, insolvent. The systemic risk to the broader economy was obvious and with their stock prices in free-fall the Treasury took control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on September 7, putting them into “conservatorship” and removing their CEOs.
Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch had both declared losses in the billions, due to mortgage securities write downs. The following weekend Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 protection and Merrill Lynch, with official encouragement, was acquired by Bank of America.
Days later, global insurer AIG, in trouble because it insured enormous volumes of bonds (including mortgage related) through credit default swaps, was refused a massive loan from the government. But there was an additional dimension to the emergency, due to the fact that short-term Lehman Brothers and AIG paper was widely-held in money market funds. Fearing that such funds might now turn their backs on commercial credit, the government took a 79.9% stake in AIG, with an $85 billion loan on terms that threatened to wipe out shareholders.
So after more than one year of the credit crisis, nothing that had been tried had worked. The Administration was now in the position of choosing winners and losers among financial institutions. Credit markets faced systemic collapse. A systemic remedy was called for.
On Friday, September 19, 2008, Mr. Paulson proposed a Troubled Asset Relief Plan (“TARP”) under which a $700 billion fund would be set up to buy illiquid mortgage securities from financial institutions. The required new legislation was written with much wrangling in the ten days that followed.
This was a ten-day period with enough news in it to fill a quarter. The last two major independents: Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs abandoned the investment banking business model. Washington Mutual, in the biggest bank failure ever, was seized by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Wachovia agreed to sell almost all of its banking business to Citigroup.
On September 29, 2008, Congress sensationally voted down the TARP legislation and the quarter ended with credit markets in a state of atrophy, evidenced by record spreads between commercial interest rates and Treasury yields of comparable terms.
Market movements for the period were defined by the trauma of September.
In US fixed income markets, the Treasury yield curve steepened as investors sought ultimate safety. For the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Treasury Bill yield fell 37 basis points to 0.90%, while the ten-year Treasury Note rose 40 basis points to 3.83%, supported by headline consumer price inflation of 5.4% and increasing calls on the public purse. The Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Bond (“LBAB”) Index(2) of investment grade bonds returned (1.50)%. But high yield bonds, represented by the Lehman Brothers® High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index(3) returned (6.77)%.
In currencies, the dollar at first continued its weakening trend against the euro. But the tide turned in mid-July and for the whole six months the dollar strengthened by 9.4%. The dollar gained 6.7% on the yen, and 9.8% against the pound.
U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500® Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500® Index”)(4) including dividends, returned (10.90)% for the half-year. Profits for S&P 500® companies suffered their fourth straight quarter of decline, led down by the financials sector. On September 29, 2008, the day TARP legislation was voted down, the S&P 500® Index

suffered the biggest drop since “Black Monday” in October 1987: 8.8%, before recovering about 60% of this the next day.
In international markets, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Japan Index(5) fell 10.0% for the six-month period. The export dependent economy suffered from slowing global demand, while high energy prices and political deadlock sapped domestic confidence. The longest postwar expansion came to an end as a dip in exports led to a decline in gross domestic product (“GDP”) of 0.70% in the second quarter of 2008. The MSCI Europe ex UK® Index(6) slumped 15.3%, beset by sharply falling economic activity and inflation at a 16-year high causing the European Central Bank to raise interest rates. In the final few days of September, governments had to throw life-lines to Belgian insurer Fortis, German property company Hypo and Franco-Belgian bank Dexia. In the UK, the MSCI UK® Index(7) fell 12.6%, as elsewhere lenders were tightening their rules and house price declines were accelerating. In the last two weeks of September the Bank of England force-marched Halifax Bank of Scotland into the arms of Lloyds TSB and nationalized mortgage lender Bradford and Bingley.

ING GNMA INCOME FUND | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT |
ING GNMA Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to generate a high level of current income, consistent with liquidity and safety of principal, through investment primarily in Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) mortgage-backed securities (also known as GNMA Certificates) that are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by the U.S. government. The Fund is managed by Denis P. Jamison, CFA, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government. Securities issued by individual agencies and organizations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government as to principal or interest but are not direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. Securities of some agencies and organizations are backed solely by the entity’s own resources or by the ability of the entity to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. Government securities also include certain mortgage-related securities that are sponsored by a U.S. government agency or organization and are not direct obligations of the U.S. government.
Performance: For the six-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 0.43% compared to the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”) Index(1) which returned 1.37%, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Mortgages performed relatively well over the last six months as the yield spread between these securities and U.S. Treasury obligations narrowed. In March, the markets were suffering from a flight to quality prompted by the collapse of Bear Stearns. Investors were worried about contagion to other financial firms and, in our opinion, this caused them to shun
mortgage securities. Of course, hindsight has shown these worries were well founded and we are now in the midst of turmoil again. This time around, however, investors seem better able to distinguish good quality, liquid securities such as government-guaranteed mortgages from those at greater risk. Accordingly, the yield spreads between current coupon government-guaranteed mortgages and U.S. Treasuries have not reverted to levels as high as those seen in March.
The various mortgage initiatives designed in Washington to mitigate defaults and widen the scope of government-guaranteed programs are producing new forms of GNMA securities. The FHA-Secure program is designed to help mortgage holders who cannot meet current obligations, while the GNMA JM program is available to borrowers who require loans larger than those formerly available under the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) programs. Because the new products are unfamiliar, they typically are priced slightly below standard GNMA offerings. Since the start of the year, the Fund has purchased about $50 million worth of securities issued under the new mandates. So far, these investments have provided modest price appreciation.
The Fund’s benchmark consists primarily of Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) guaranteed mortgages. At least 80% of the Fund’s holdings must consist of GNMAs Certificates, which put the Fund at a relative disadvantage for the reporting period. FHLMC and FNMA securities returned 25 basis points (or 0.25%) and 40 basis points (or 0.40%), respectively, more than GNMAs during the last six months.
There were no individual positions that significantly enhanced results during the period. Detracting from results was the Fund’s 4%-plus position in low yielding cash and short-term securities. We felt this was necessary given the high level of market volatility. Normally, a significant portion of these non-GNMA holdings would have been invested in longer dated U.S. Treasury obligations, a segment of the market that returned nearly 5% in the quarter ended September.
Current Outlook and Strategy: We believe there is considerable risk that the current period of instability will continue into 2009. Also, the prospect of a significant reduction in the already low federal funds rate lingers over the market. It is our opinion, that in such an environment, U.S. Treasury securities and low coupon mortgages should continue to perform well. However, longer term, we believe the overriding advantage of mortgages is their high yield. Currently, the yield spread between GNMA mortgages priced at par and five-year U.S. Treasury notes exceeds 2.50%. Moreover, mortgage pools priced slightly above par provide a projected 0.40% excess yield to maturity over discount securities. We expect to continue buying higher coupon offerings instead of securities perceived to have better appreciation potential.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Fund 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.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT | ING HIGH YIELD BOND FUND |
ING High Yield Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income and total return. The Fund is managed by Randall Parrish, CFA and Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of (7.30)% compared to the Lehman Brothers® High Yield Bond Index(1) and the Lehman Brothers® High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index(2), which returned (7.28)% and (6.77)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers® High Yield Bond — 2% Issuer Constrained Composite Index, for the six-month period ended September 30, 2008.
For generations to come, the reporting period will fill finance textbooks with case studies. During this time, the markets feared inflation, recession, depression, high oil prices, falling oil prices, hedge fund failures and systemic risk in the financial system. We saw the failure of banks and brokerage houses, government sponsored enterprises, insurance companies, money market funds and a wide range of non-financial companies. The federal government committed its resources to guarantee money market funds, purchase mortgages and commercial paper and invest directly in private financial institutions in an effort to break the freeze that has gripped financial markets here and abroad.
These events wreaked havoc across all risk asset classes. The S&P 500® Index (equities) lost 11.80%, the Lehman US Investment Grade Corporate Index (investment grade debt) lost 8.44% and the Lehman US High Yield Loan Index — a measure of high yield debt — lost 6.77%. Though defaults to date remain low by historical standards, the market priced in greater default risk, widening the performance differential between higher and lower quality bonds (BB-rated bonds: -3.83%, B-rated bonds: -6.08% and CCC-rated bonds: - -9.58%).
The reduction in cyclical risk benefited the Fund in the period. An underweight of BB-rated bonds detracted from performance. On the other hand, sector positioning helped. Overweight positions in the environmental, energy, healthcare and wireless sectors added to results, as did underweight positions in retailers, gaming and high-yield financials. An off-benchmark exposure to investment-grade bank hybrid capital issues hurt performance. These securities dropped sharply in price when the U.S. government failed to include the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) preferred issues in its rescue of the two mortgage giants.
Given the extent of the sell-off during the period, the “wins” in security selection generally came from the bonds we did not own. The Fund did not hold any bonds that defaulted, and successfully avoided a number of the largest losers. The largest negative impacts came from holdings in directories publishers Idearc, Inc. and RH Donnelley Corp. and holdings related to the planned Huntsman Corp. (“Huntsman”)/Hexion US Finance Corp. (“Hexion”) merger. In anticipation of the deal closing, the Fund held positions in the bonds and also a small position in Huntsman equity. When Hexion sued to get out of the deal, the prices of both the bonds and the stock declined significantly. Huntsman recently won an initial victory in court, and the Fund continues to hold these positions pending resolution of the outstanding lawsuits.
Current Outlook and Strategy: We have expected for several months that the tightening of credit would lead to an acceleration of the default rate. We continue to believe most high yield issuers are well positioned to weather the downturn, but risk has clearly increased for companies
with marginal financial profiles. With the United States and much of Europe now likely in recession, we believe the increase in defaults will be more severe than previously anticipated. There has been little liquidity in the market in recent weeks, but we have continued to work to concentrate our holdings in companies we believe are well positioned through the downturn. In our opinion, the market has clearly priced in a much worse outcome, and we believe the sell-off into early October leaves the market near a bottom as spreads now appear to offer attractive compensation even for a higher level of credit losses. Governments worldwide are acting aggressively to head off a worst-case outcome, but we await some sign of success before taking on additional credit risk.

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

ING Intermediate Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income, consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund is managed by James B. Kauffmann, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of (5.95)% compared to the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Bond (“LBAB”) Index(1), which returned (1.50)%, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The period witnessed a worldwide and multi-sector collapse of virtually all risk-based asset classes. Disregarding successive and innovative moves by regulators and central banks, markets flew into the hands of perceived safety at an accelerating rate. The House and Senate swiftly passed legislation supporting FNMA and FHLMC explicitly in July. The bankruptcy of Lehman challenged its commercial paper investors, bond holders and derivatives counterparties. The money market fund industry buckled, and several funds either broke the buck or suspended redemptions.
Housing prices continued to drop. The commercial paper markets — a critical source of short-term financing for manufacturing, municipal and financial services — evaporated. The U.S. Congress eventually enacted a $700 billion bailout program but only after adding $150 billion in tax breaks to the bill. Despite this and other innovative responses to the liquidity crisis by central banks, fear continued to grip the lending markets.
In general, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positions detracted from results for the period. Positive real yields abroad compared favorably to negative real yields in the U.S. for the third quarter and resulted in our shorting the U.S. ten-year Treasury and going long ten-year exposures in the UK, Germany and Australia which was positive for the portfolio as foreign rates declined relative to those in the U.S. These positions helped performance by the end of the period.
We actively managed currency exposures during the period, which generally added to performance. While our long yen position was a detractor, shorts in the British pound, Australian and New Zealand dollars were positive.
Developing overweights to investment grade credit and financials hurt performance over the period. The Fund’s exposure to financial companies, such as banks, brokers and insurers, hurt performance relative to the benchmark significantly in the third quarter.
Just as our positions in single name credit default swaps and index credit default swaps helped the Fund endure some of the spread widening early in the period, subsequent spread contraction hurt performance later in the period.
Allocations to non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), which are not in the index, were the largest source of underperformance for the portfolio over the last six months. Holdings of sub-prime, Alt-A, non-agency adjustable rate mortgages (“ARMs”) and option ARMs were a significant drag.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We believe that U.S. investment grade credit and securitized assets may be the most undervalued securities in global capital markets. We suspect that many of the battered sectors of the U.S. fixed income market, in our opinion, may rebound before the economy itself bottoms or before other markets feel maximum pain. Nevertheless, recovering from this massive unwinding of leverage is not likely to be instantaneous, and the key is to carefully acquire undervalued bonds and be patient.
We remain overweight securitized assets and RMBS in particular. We do not expect the decline in home prices in the United States to abate soon, yet a number of relative value opportunities may exist in this challenging mortgage market. We are overweight a variety of mortgages and generally view the sector as deeply undervalued.
We are still avoiding the high yield sector, which has not sustained as much pressure as the investment grade credit markets. We will wait for more generalized price weakness or more compelling relative value before entering the emerging markets debt market in a large way.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT | ING NATIONAL TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND |
ING National Tax-Exempt Bond Fund(1) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income taxes, consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund is managed by Robert Schonbrunn, Karen Cronk, and Richard Kilbride, Portfolio Managers of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the six-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of (2.07)% compared to the Lehman Brothers® Municipal Bond Index(2) and the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Aggregate Bond (“LBAB”) Index(3), which returned (2.59)% and (1.50)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The municipal bond market has been in a volatile downward trend during the last six months as the combination of monoline insurance capital adequacy issues and the unwinding of leveraged positions increased selling pressure. Tax-exempt interest rates have been forced above comparable Treasury issues all along the yield curve, reflecting the municipal bond market’s weakness compared to Treasuries. Credit quality became the focal point of bond performance during this period, and lower quality sectors severely under performed the higher quality sectors.
This was a difficult market environment in which to be liquidating the Fund, with thin markets and a dearth of buyers. Fortunately, we were
able to sell a substantial part of the Fund in late August and early September before conditions in the municipal bond market deteriorated further.
During the first part of the period, the Fund performed relatively well as longer term yields declined while yields on issues maturing in less than 15 years rose. With approximately 46% of the Fund in issues maturing in 10 years and longer, the Fund benefited. Because of the problems at the insurance companies, AAA-rated bonds underperformed AAs and As, which helped the Fund thanks to its heavy weightings in AA- and A-rated issues.
Weaker credits underperformed and the Fund was hurt by its exposure to BBBs and unrated securities. In the third quarter negative pressure built on longer-term issues and weaker credits, which had an adverse effect on the Fund. The program to liquidate holdings in the Fund dominated activity in the latter part of the reporting period.

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

ING CLASSIC MONEY MARKET FUND | PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ REPORT |
ING Classic Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income, consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and the maintenance of a stable $1.00 net asset value per share. The Fund is managed by David S. Yealy, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Portfolio Specifics: The reporting period was one of the most difficult periods on record for money market funds. The seizing up of the credit markets and subsequent loss of confidence in numerous issuers led to unprecedented actions by the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury and other major central banks across the globe. The systemic risk and capital market panic that ensued has resulted in a worldwide multi-sector collapse of virtually all risk-based asset prices.
Money market funds were no exception as several funds either “broke the buck” or suspended redemptions. The result was a run on prime money funds as investors sought to redeem their funds and move into lower risk Treasury or government money funds or direct government securities. The flight to quality caused the yield on these short-term government securities to drop precipitously while the market for commercial paper and other short-term bank funding evaporated. Asset-backed commercial paper (“ABCP”), which is viewed by the market and the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) as a safe-haven, was the exception as the Fed agreed to buy back ABCP from money market mutual funds at their cost in order to provide liquidity for the funds to meet the redemptions.
Due to extreme risks in the market we chose to focus on increasing liquidity and reducing risk in the Fund and not on maximizing yield.
Daily liquidity was increased from approximately 9% as of June 30, 2008 to approximately 20% as of September 30, 2008. The increase in daily liquidity was accomplished by investing the proceeds of maturing credit-risk issues into overnight repurchase agreements, instead of the normal practice of buying new securities of those issuers or similar credits out in longer maturities. In addition to the increase in daily liquidity, the Fund maintained an overweight exposure to ABCP at 34% and held a 7% U.S. Government agency exposure. These changes allowed us to reduce credit exposure and risk over the period.
Current Outlook and Strategy: We think the recent actions taken by the Fed, the U.S. Treasury and central banks globally will unfreeze inter-bank lending and ultimately lending to corporations and consumers. We believe the government will continue to play a major role in providing short-term funding via the discount window, the various auction facilities, the ABCP purchase program or the new commercial paper purchase program. We expect LIBOR and rates for money market securities to decline over the near term.
Money market funds in general should slowly resume buying the commercial paper and CDs of the top-tier issuers that they recently stopped funding. We expect that ABCP with maturities of January 31, 2009 or shorter and repurchase agreements will continue to be the primary Fund holdings in the near-term, as the short-term funding markets attempt to return to normalcy. This is likely to be a slow process. Recent developments do not guarantee it, but we believe a return to normalcy has become more likely. We are taking a cautious approach with the Fund. We want to be sure that the recent central bank actions will translate into actual improved market conditions and lending before increasing our exposure to the large, top-tier banks that have received the backing of their central banks and governments. Liquidity and low risk are still our primary objectives, with yield taking either a back seat or waiting for the next train.
Principal Risk Factors: Please see the “Notes to Financial Statements” section for information regarding the Fund’s participation in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program for money market funds and the Capital Support Agreement that the Fund has entered into.
Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Fund may differ from that presented for other ING Funds.

Due to extreme risks in the market we chose to focus on increasing liquidity and reducing risk in the Fund and not on maximizing yield. Daily liquidity was increased from approximately 23% as of June 30, 2008 to over 34% as of September 30, 2008. The increase in daily liquidity was accomplished by investing the proceeds of maturing credit-risk issues into overnight repurchase agreements, instead of the normal practice of buying new securities of those issuers or similar credits out in longer maturities. In addition to the increase in daily liquidity, the Fund maintained an overweight exposure to ABCP at 40% and held a 2% U.S. Govt. agency exposure. These changes allowed us to reduce credit exposure and risk over the period.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. The Funds’ expenses are shown without the imposition of any sales charges or fees. Expenses would have been higher if such charges were included.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table shown, “Actual Fund Return,” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 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 a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. ING Funds Trust (“Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Trust was organized on August 6, 1998 and was established under a Trust Instrument dated July 30, 1998. It consists of six separately managed series: ING GNMA Income Fund (“GNMA Income”), ING High Yield Bond Fund (“High Yield Bond”), ING Intermediate Bond Fund (“Intermediate Bond”), ING National Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (“National Tax-Exempt Bond”), ING Classic Money Market Fund (“Classic Money Market”) and ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund (“Institutional Money Market”) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).
The investment objective of each Fund is described in each Fund’s prospectus.
Each Fund, except Institutional Money Market, offers at least three of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class O, Class Q, Class R and Class W. Institutional Money Market offers Class I and Class IS shares. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), transfer agent fees, distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees. Generally, shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of a Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Common expenses of the Funds (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 Fund in proportion to its relative daily net assets. Expenses directly attributable to a particular fund (including advisory, administration, custodial transaction-based, registration, other professional, distribution and/or service fees, certain taxes, and offering costs) are charged directly to that Fund. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, and shareholder servicing fees. Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares, automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase.
Class B shares of the Funds (except Classic Money Market) are closed to new investment, provided that (1) Class B shares of the Funds may be purchased through the reinvestment of dividends issued by Class B
shares of a Fund; (2) subject to the terms and conditions of relevant exchange privileges and as permitted under their respective prospectuses, Class B shares of the Funds may be acquired through exchange of Class B shares of other funds in the ING mutual funds complex; and (3) certain qualified retirement plans may purchase Class B shares of the Funds, where the Funds have received information reasonably satisfactory indicating that intermediaries maintaining these plans are unable for administrative reasons to effect the closure immediately.
Effective September 26, 2008, Class B and Class C shares of National Tax-Exempt were liquidated.
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements, and 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 the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) will be 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 Funds’ valuation procedures. U.S. government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use prices provided by marketmakers 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, as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”), in accordance
35
Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. Securities traded on exchanges, including foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) may also be valued at their fair values as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of a Fund’s Board, in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. If an event occurs after the time at which the market for foreign securities held by a Fund closes but before the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated, such event may cause the closing price on the foreign exchange to not represent a readily available reliable market value quotation for such securities at the time the Fund determines its NAV. In such a case, the Fund will use the fair value of such securities as determined under a Fund’s valuation procedures. Events after the close of trading on a foreign market that could require a Fund to fair value some or all of its foreign securities include, among others, securities trading in the U.S. and other markets, corporate announcements, natural and other disasters, and political and other events. Among other elements of analysis in the determination of a security’s fair value, the Board has authorized the use of one or more independent research services to assist with such determinations. An independent research service may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its NAV. There can be no assurance that such models accurately reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of such markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that a Fund could obtain if it were to sell the security at the time of the close of the NYSE. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, a Fund is not obligated to use the fair valuations suggested by any research service, and valuation recommendations provided by such research services may be overridden if other events have occurred or if other fair valuations are determined in good faith to be more accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes a Fund to determine that the
closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at the time a Fund determines its NAV, events that occur between the time of the close of the foreign market on which they are traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE will not be reflected in a Fund’s NAV. Investments in securities maturing in 60 days or less from the date of acquisition are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market use the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost and amortizing any discount or premium over the period until maturity regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates or the market value of the security.
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 Funds is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset 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 table summarizing the Funds’ investments under these levels of classification is included following the Portfolios 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 Funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
C. | Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: |
(1) | Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day. |
(2) | Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. |
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Funds 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 that are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities’ current market values. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.
D. | Foreign Currency Transactions and Futures Contracts. High Yield Bond, Intermediate Bond and National Tax-Exempt Bond may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. |
High Yield Bond, Intermediate Bond and Institutional Money Market 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 Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margins and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
E. | Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. All Funds, with the exception of GNMA Income, declare dividends daily and pay dividends monthly. GNMA Income declares and pays dividends monthly. 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. |
37
Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
F. | Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds 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 Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years in making this determination. No capital gain distributions shall be made until any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or expired. |
G. | 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. |
H. | Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund 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 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 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 Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it may incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral. |
I. | Securities Lending. Each Fund (except GNMA Income) 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, a Fund has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund. |
J. | Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market may not invest more than 10% of their net assets in illiquid securities and all other Funds may not invest more than 15% of their net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are not readily marketable. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for the Funds to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Restricted securities are those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) or are securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and 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 procedures adopted by the Board or may be deemed illiquid because they may not be readily marketable. With the exception of Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market, illiquid and restricted securities are valued using market quotations when readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures approved by the Board. |
K. | Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Transactions. The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or a delayed-delivery basis. Each Fund (except GNMA Income) may enter into forward commitments. 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 Funds’ 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 Funds are required to segregate liquid assets with the Funds’ custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price. |
L. | Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. Each Fund (except National Tax-Exempt Bond) may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued or to be issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In a dollar roll transaction, a Fund 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 Funds account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales. |
M. | Options Contracts. High Yield Bond and Intermediate Bond may purchase put and call options and may write (sell) put options and covered call options. High Yield Bond and Intermediate Bond may engage in option transactions as a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to increase market exposure. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the options are traded. The Funds 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 call option is that the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. |
N. | Swap Contracts. High Yield Bond, Intermediate Bond and National Tax-Exempt Bond may enter into interest rate swaps, currency swaps and other types of swap agreements, including swaps on securities and indices. A swap is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which each party agrees to make one or more payments to the other on regularly scheduled dates over a stated term, based on different interest rates, currency exchange rates, security prices, the prices or rates of other types of financial instruments or assets or the levels of specified indices. During the term of the swap, changes in the value of the swap are recognized by marking-to-market the value of the swap. |
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.
O. | Construction Loan Securities. GNMA Income may purchase construction loan securities, which are issued to finance building costs. The funds are disbursed as needed or in accordance with a prearranged plan. The securities provide for the timely payment to the registered holder of interest at the specified rate plus scheduled installments of principal. Upon completion of the construction phase, the construction loan securities are terminated and project loan securities are issued. It is GNMA Income’s policy to record these GNMA certificates on trade date, and to segregate assets to cover its commitments on trade date as well. |
P. | Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. |

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
ING Investments, LLC (“ING Investments” or the ”Investment Adviser”), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. The Investment Adviser serves pursuant to an investment management agreement (“Management Agreement”) between the Investment Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement compensates the Investment Adviser with a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund, at the following annual rates:
For GNMA Income — 0.47% on first $1 billion, 0.40% on next $4 billion and 0.35% on assets thereafter; for High Yield Bond — 0.51% on first $1 billion, 0.45% on next $4 billion and 0.40% on assets thereafter; for Intermediate Bond — 0.17%; for National Tax-Exempt Bond — 0.30%; for Classic Money Market — 0.25%; and for Institutional Money Market — 0.08%.
ING Investment Management Co. (“ING IM”), a Connecticut corporation, serves as the sub-adviser to the Funds. The Investment Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with ING IM. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, ING IM manages the Funds’ assets in accordance with the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
ING Funds are permitted to invest end-of-day cash balances into Institutional Money Market. Investment management fees paid by the Funds will be reduced by
an amount equal to the management fees paid indirectly to Institutional Money Market with respect to assets invested by the Funds. For the six months ended September 30, 2008, High Yield Bond and Intermediate Bond waived $586 and $45,372, respectively. These fees are not subject to recoupment.
ING Funds Services, LLC (“IFS”), acts as administrator and provides certain administrative and shareholder services necessary for Fund operations and is responsible for the supervision of other service providers. For its services, IFS is entitled to receive from each Fund, with the exception of Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market, a fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
ING Funds Distributor, LLC (the “Distributor” or “IFD”) is the principal underwriter of the Funds. The Distributor, IFS, ING Investments and ING IM 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.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
Each share class of the Funds (except Class I and Class W and as otherwise noted below) has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and/or a Service Plan (the “Plans”), whereby the Distributor is reimbursed or compensated (depending on the class of shares) by certain of the Funds for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Fund’s shares (“Distribution Fees”). Pursuant to the Plans, the Distributor is entitled to payment each month for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of certain of each Fund’s shares, including expenses incurred in printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, expenses incurred in preparing and printing sales literature and other such distribution related expenses, including any distribution or shareholder servicing fees (“Service Fees”) paid to securities dealers who have executed a distribution agreement with the Distributor. Under the Plans, each class of shares of the Fund pays the Distributor a

The Trust has adopted a Retirement Policy (“Policy”) covering all independent trustees of the Funds who will have served as an independent trustee 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.
On September 16, 2008, Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market (each a “Money Market Fund” and collectively, the “Money Market Funds”) obtained a commitment from the Adviser that an affiliate of ING Groep will provide capital support with respect to certain of the Money Market Funds’ portfolio holdings. Each Money Market Fund entered into a Capital Support Agreement (each, an “Agreement” or collectively, the “Agreements”) with ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Capital Support Provider” or “CSP”). Each Agreement establishes certain circumstances (“Contribution Event”) where the CSP is obligated to make a cash contribution (“Capital Contribution”) to each Money Market Fund in an amount sufficient for Classic Money Market to maintain its market-based net asset value per share (“NAV”) at no less than $0.9950 and Institutional Money Market to maintain its NAV at no less than $0.9950 or such greater amount as required by any Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act) that has issued a rating with respect to Institutional Money Market. The maximum amount that the CSP would be required to contribute under an
41
Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 6 — OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES (continued)
Agreement is an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of certain notes (American General Finance Corp.) (“Notes”) held by each Money Market Fund as a portfolio security on the date of the Contribution Event.
The obligation of the CSP to make Capital Contributions under each Agreement terminates upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the repayment in full, in cash, of all the Notes; (ii) the CSP having made Capital Contributions, in the aggregate, equal to the maximum contribution amount and; (iii) so long as the CSP is not in default with respect to its obligations arising under each Agreement, January 12, 2009 (“Termination Date”).
In addition, a Money Market Fund will sell the Notes: (i) within fifteen (15) calendar days following any change in the CSP’s short-term credit ratings such that the CSP’s short-term obligations no longer qualify as “First Tier Securities” (as defined in Rule 2a-7); or (ii) on the business day immediately prior to the Termination Date, provided that a Money Market Fund shall not be required to complete any such sale if (A) the amount a Money Market Fund expects to receive on such sale date would not result in a loss or the payment of a Capital Contribution, or (B) with respect to an event described above in the first sentence of this paragraph, if the CSP substitutes an obligation or credit support that satisfies the requirement of a First Tier Security within fifteen (15) calendar days from the occurrence of such event and during that 15-day period the CSP’s obligations qualify as “Second Tier Securities” (as defined in Rule 2a-7).
In the event that a Money Market Fund receives a Capital Contribution from the CSP with respect to the Notes and subsequently receives additional payments from, or on behalf of, the Issuer in respect of the Notes, a Money Market Fund shall repay the CSP the lesser of the amount of the Capital Contribution or the amount of such subsequent payments, provided that in no event shall such repayment to the CSP cause a Money Market Fund’s NAV per share to fall below $0.9950.
NOTE 7 — OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES & LIABILITIES

The proceeds may be used only to: (1) temporarily finance the purchase and sale of securities; (2) finance the redemption of shares of an investor in the Funds; and (3) enable the Funds to meet other emergency expenses as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Funds to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.07% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount payable quarterly in arrears.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSASOF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 11 — CREDIT RISK AND DEFAULTED SECURITIES
Although each Fund has a diversified portfolio, High Yield Bond and Intermediate Bond may invest in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high yield securities. Investments in high-yield debt securities generally provide greater income and increased opportunity for capital appreciation than investments in higher quality debt securities, but they also typically entail greater potential price volatility and principal and income risk. High-yield debt securities 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 prices of high-yield debt securities have been found to be less sensitive to interest rate changes than higher-rated investments, but more sensitive to adverse economic downturns or individual corporate developments. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly greater for the holders of high yielding securities, because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. At September 30, 2008, the Funds did not hold any defaulted securities.
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 September 30, 2008, Intermediate Bond 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, Intermediate Bond 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 Fund relating to these events is immaterial.
NOTE 12 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISKS
Corporate Debt Securities (High Yield Bond, Intermediate Bond and Classic Money Market). Corporate debt securities are subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on the obligation and may also be subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity. When interest rates decline, the value of the Fund’s debt securities can be expected to rise, and when interest
rates rise, the value of those securities can be expected to decline. Debt securities with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to interest rate movements than those with shorter maturities.
Credit Risk (All Funds). A Portfolio could lose money if a bond issuer (debtor) fails to repay interest and principal in a timely manner or if it goes bankrupt. This is especially true during periods of economic uncertainty or economic downturns. High-yield/high-risk bonds are especially subject to credit risk and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature.
Foreign Securities (High Yield Bond, Intermediate Bond, Classic Money Market and Institutional Money Market). There are certain risks in owning foreign securities, including those resulting from: fluctuations in currency exchange rates; devaluation of currencies; political or economic developments and the possible imposition of currency exchange blockages or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions; reduced availability of public information concerning issuers; accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or other regulatory practices and requirements that are not uniform when compared to those applicable to domestic companies; settlement and clearance procedures in some countries that may not be reliable and can result in delays in settlement; higher transaction and custody expenses than for domestic securities; and limitations on foreign ownership of equity securities. Also, securities of many foreign companies may be less liquid and the prices more volatile than those of domestic companies.
Emerging Markets Investments (High Yield Bond). Because of less developed markets and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions, the risks of investing in foreign securities can be intensified in the case of investments in issuers domiciled or doing substantial business in emerging market countries. These risks include: high concentration of market capitalization and trading volume in a small number of issuers representing a limited number of industries, as well as a high concentration of investors and financial intermediaries; political and social uncertainties; overdependence on exports, especially with respect to primary commodities, making these economies vulnerable to changes in commodity prices; overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems; environmental problems; less well-developed legal systems; and less reliable custodial services and settlement practices.

NOTE 12 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISKS (continued)
High-Yield, Lower-Grade Debt Securities Risk (High-Yield Bond and Intermediate Bond). 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 payments 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.
Interests in Loans (National Tax-Exempt Bond). Participation interests or assignments are secured variable or floating rate loans, which include participation interests in lease financing. Loans are subject to the credit risk of nonpayment of principal or
interest. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan defaults. Although the loans will generally be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to the Fund’s investment. Many loans are relatively illiquid, and may be difficult to value.
NOTE 13 — 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.
Dividends paid by the Funds 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:

NOTE 15 — SECURITIES LENDING
Under an agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), the Funds can lend their securities to approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are collateralized by cash and U.S. government securities. The collateral is equal to at least 105% of the market value of non-U.S. securities loaned and 102% of the market value of U.S. securities loaned 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 Funds 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, custodian and operational trustee of the BICR Fund. As of September 30, 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Funds 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 Funds’ continued lending of securities. The recorded value of each Fund’s investment in the BICR Fund will include 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 Funds have the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. The Agreement contains certain guarantees by BNY in the event of counterparty default and/or a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security; however, there would be a potential loss to the Funds in the event the Funds are delayed or prevented from exercising their right to dispose of the collateral. Engaging in securities lending could have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the credit, market and other risks associated with investing in a Fund. At September 30, 2008, the following Fund had securities on loan with the following market values:
Fund | Value of Securities Loaned | Value of Collateral | ||||
Intermediate Bond | $ | 207,667,983 | $ | 214,736,704 |

Class A shares of National Tax-Exempt were liquidated on October 23, 2008.
The U.S. Treasury Department has notified Classic Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market that they been accepted to participate in the U.S. Treasury Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”). The Program guarantees shareholders of Classic Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market the lesser of: (1) the number of shares owned on September 19, 2008 multiplied by $1.00; or (2) the number of shares owned as of the time the Treasury’s obligation under the
Program is triggered multiplied by $1.00. The Treasury’s obligation under the Program is triggered if Classic Money Market’s or Institutional Prime Money Market’s net asset value per share falls below $0.995 and certain conditions are met including the liquidation of Classic Money Market or Institutional Prime Money Market.
Coverage under the Program is limited to persons who were shareholders of Classic Money Market or Institutional Prime Money Market as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. Any increase in the number of shares held in an account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 will not be guaranteed. If the number of shares held in an account fluctuates (even if the number of shares held in an account is reduced to zero), shareholders will be covered for the lesser of the number of shares held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 or the number of shares held at the time the Treasury’s obligation under the Program is triggered. If a shareholder closes his/her account with Classic Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market or broker-dealer, any future investment in Classic Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market will not be guaranteed.
Classic Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market each paid to participate in the Program for the initial three-month period, which will expire on December 18, 2008. The fee of 139,473 and 198,272 for Classic Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market, respectively, was either 0.01% or 0.015% of each fund’s net asset value on September 19, 2008 depending on the market based net asset value per share of each fund as of September 19, 2008 (the “Program Participation Payment”). The Board has determined that the Program Participation Payment is an extraordinary expense that will not be subject to any expense limitation agreement currently in effect for the Fund.
On October 2, 2008, American General Finance Corp. commercial paper held by Classic Money Market matured at par of $25,000,000. That commercial paper was one of two positions held by Classic Money Market in American General Finance Corp. Since the commercial paper was paid in full upon maturity, ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. was not required to make a capital contribution pursuant to the Capital Support Agreement described in Note 6, Other Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties. Classic Money Market continues to hold American General Finance Corp. $3,000,000 principal corporate note, which is scheduled to mature on January 9, 2009.

On October 2, 2008, American General Finance Corp. commercial paper held by Institutional Prime Money Market matured at par of $46,000,000.

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 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 Group’s Debt/Equity ratio.
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 September 30, 2008, management of the Funds is currently assessing the impact of the expanded financial statement disclosures that will result from adopting SFAS No. 161.
On September 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 133-1 and 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 FSP is intended to improve disclosures about credit derivatives by requiring more information about the potential adverse effects of changes in credit risk on the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the
sellers of credit derivatives. It amends FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments. The FSP also amends FIN 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, to require an additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. Management of the Funds is currently assessing the impact of adopting FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4.
NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’s U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
As discussed in earlier supplements that were previously filed with the SEC, ING Investments, 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. ING Investments has advised the Boards that it and its affiliates have cooperated fully with each request.
In addition to responding to regulatory and governmental requests, ING Investments reported that management of U.S. affiliates of ING Groep N.V., including ING Investments (collectively, “ING”), on their own initiative, have conducted, through independent special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel. ING’s internal review related to mutual fund trading is now substantially completed. ING has reported that, of the millions of customer relationships that ING maintains, the internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within ING’s variable insurance and mutual fund products, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred, despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. ING further reported that each of these arrangements has been terminated and fully disclosed to regulators. The results of the internal review were also reported to the independent members of the Boards.

NOTE 18 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING’s U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS (continued)
ING Investments 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. ING Investments further reported that the companies in question did not receive special benefits in return for any of these arrangements, which have all been terminated.
Based on the internal review, ING Investments has advised the 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.
ING Investments reported to the Boards that ING is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of ethical conduct with zero tolerance for noncompliance. Accordingly, ING Investments advised the Boards that ING management was disappointed that its voluntary internal review identified these situations. Viewed in the context of the breadth and magnitude of its U.S. business as a whole, ING management does not believe that ING’s acquired companies had systemic ethical or compliance issues in these areas. Nonetheless, ING Investments reported that given ING’s refusal to tolerate any lapses, it has taken the steps noted below, and will continue to seek opportunities to further strengthen the internal controls of its affiliates.
• | ING has agreed with the ING Funds to indemnify and hold harmless the ING Funds from all damages resulting from wrongful conduct by ING or its employees or from ING’s internal investigation, any investigations conducted by any governmental or self-regulatory agencies, litigation or other formal |
proceedings, including any proceedings by the SEC. ING Investments reported to the Boards that ING management believes that the total amount of any indemnification obligations will not be material to ING or its U.S. business. |
• | ING updated its Code of Conduct for employees reinforcing its employees’ obligation to conduct personal trading activity consistent with the law, disclosed limits, and other requirements. |
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.

The following table summarizes the inputs used as of September 30, 2008 in determining the Fund’s investments at fair value for purposes of SFAS 157:
Investments in | Other Financial | |||||
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | $ | 357,196,902 | $ | 2,131,772 | ||

“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 period end. Swaps and written options are reported at their market value at period end. |
A roll forward of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended September 30, 2008, was as follows:

* | 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 period end. Swaps and written options are reported at their market value at period end. |
For the six months ended September 30, 2008, total change in unrealized gain (loss) on Level 3 securities still held at period end included in the change in net assets was $(3,499,217).
