PRESIDENT'S LETTER
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,
Shaun Mathews

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
2
MARKET PERSPECTIVE: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
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 make rs 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 entir e 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 VP BALANCED PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Balanced Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize investment return consistent with reasonable safety of principal, by investing in a diversified portfolio of one or more of the following asset classes: stocks, bonds and cash equivalents, based on the judgment of the Portfolio's management, of which of those sectors or mix thereof offers the best investment prospects. The Portfolio is managed by Omar Aguilar, Ph.D., James Kauffmann and Paul Zemsky, Portfolio Managers*, of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (28.10)% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index"), the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index**(2) and the Composite Index(3) (60% S&P 500® Index/40% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index), which returned (37.00)%, 5.24% and (22.06)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Asset allocation results had a modest positive impact on performance of the Portfolio during 2008, mainly due to our defensive cash positioning.
The performance of the domestic equity portion of the Portfolio was in line with the S&P 500® Index. Stock selection in the larger-cap stocks proved most successful during the year. Selection in the smallest-cap stocks added value, whereas both an average overweight position and stock selection within the mid-cap names detracted from performance. Both Amgen, Inc. and BB&T Corp. were strong performers during the year, as well as Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and AutoZone, Inc.
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 weaken, industrial production has slowed and unemployment has risen. Intervention from the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") 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.
The fixed income portion of the Portfolio underperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, in a very difficult year. A large source of underperformance was the Portfolio's underweight in Treasuries, which hurt when investors fled to their relative safety. The Portfolio was also overweight many of the sectors hit hardest by this risk aversion, including financials, corporate bonds and off-benchmark holdings in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. The yield curve, duration and currency exposures of the Portfolio were beneficial for the year, but not by a large enough margin to overcome the negative selection effect.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Looking forward, we believe the recession will continue for the next two quarters, with growth resuming in the second half of 2009. We expect headline inflation to 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. We ended the year overweight in equity versus fixed income, but would be looking to pare back our equity position until the effects of the fiscal stimulus are more evident.
Allocations between equities and fixed income are dependent on our quantitative asset allocation model, which uses the factors mentioned above and not on a qualitative evaluation of the bond versus the equity markets.

ING VP GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock. It is anticipated that capital appreciation and investment income will both be major factors in achieving total return. The Portfolio is managed by Christopher F. Corapi, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (37.63)% 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: During this period, the Portfolio was hurt by weak stock selection within the industrials and telecom sectors. Within industrials, our underweight position in United Parcel Service, Inc. ("UPS") detracted from results. UPS held up better than its peers due to its defensive characteristics and attractive dividend yield. Also, Quanta Services, Inc. ("Quanta") declined significantly after a disappointing fourth quarter due to delays in telecom spending. Although some of the projects were pushed out as a result of typical permitting and bureaucratic delays rather than credit-related issues, investors took this as a sign of weakness in the transmission cycle. We continue to believe that the transmission cycle is still alive and believe that Quanta offers a less-cyclical, multi-year growth story at a reasonable price.
Within telecom, the Portfolio's position in Sprint Nextel Corp. ("Sprint") detracted from results during the period. The stock was punished in the fourth quarter due to liquidity concerns. We believe that these concerns were overblown and expect Sprint to be able to stabilize its market share through its continued efforts to improve customer service and reduce costs.
The Portfolio benefited from strong stock selection in the financials, utilities and healthcare sectors. Avoiding or underweighting some of the worst performing financial names, including AIG, the Government-Sponsored Entities ("GSEs") like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and Merrill Lynch, helped relative performance during this period. Our emphasis on companies with lower credit and capital markets exposures, such as life and property/casualty insurers, also contributed to results. Within utilities, investments in NSTAR and Pacific Gas & Electric Co ("PG&E"). held up well due to their defensive characteristics and low exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott") and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Teva") were two health-care names that aided relative returns. Abbott's diversified business mix and multiple product approvals and launches helped it withstand a pretty brutal market and outperform its peers. Within healthcare, generics were one of the safest places to be this year given limited scrutiny from Washington and limited risk to earnings versus other healthcare names. Teva, a premier generic manufacturer, benefited from having one of the broadest and deepest pipelines for upcoming patent losses on branded drugs.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Currently, the Portfolio is positioned in companies that we believe have strong or improving competitive positions, robust end markets or superior capital allocation opportunities. We believe each stock possesses an attractive valuation and a clear catalyst to improve it. Top holdings include Exxon-Mobil Corp. ("ExxonMobil"), Royal Dutch Shell PLC ("Royal Dutch Shell"), PG&E and Wells Fargo & Co ("Wells Fargo"). Within energy, we continue to favor integrated oil companies such as Exxon-Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell that have strong balance sheets, high dividend yields and good management teams.
We continue to like PG&E as a defensive play within the utility sector. The company is currently trading at an attractive valuation versus its peers and has a good balance sheet, a high dividend yield and no exposure to commodity or customer usage risk. Finally, we believe Wells Fargo's recent acquisition of Wachovia was an extremely favorable deal, which will lead to synergies and will allow its premier banking franchise to achieve national scale.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

ING OPPORTUNISTIC LARGE CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Opportunistic Large Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks growth of capital through investment in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of common stock and securities convertible into common stocks believed to offer growth potential. The Portfolio is managed by Omar Aguilar, Ph.D. and Vincent Costa, CFA, Portfolio Managers* of ING Investment Management Co. ("INGIM")— the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (44.06)% compared to the Russell 1000® Growth Index(1), which returned (38.44)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Portfolio had a challenging year, underperforming its benchmark for the period.
Equity markets started the year with a turbulent first quarter as volatility spiked, in part, due to the relatively quick changes between the growth and value regimes. This period was particularly difficult for quantitative strategies as the performance of the factors was volatile through the period, making it difficult to sustain a positive model performance.
During the first quarter, we saw a brief change in market leadership from growth to value in January, which was accompanied by a spike in volatility. In February, valuation factors ended their brief comeback while price momentum drove returns. Valuation factors continued their underperformance in March, with factors like free cash flow to price causing the worst underperformance in the healthcare sector.
In the second quarter, security selection in the healthcare and information technology sectors hurt performance. The healthcare sector suffered as some pharmaceutical companies cut their earnings forecasts, with names like Forest Laboratories, Inc. and Perrigo Co. hurting the most. In the technology sector securities in the semiconductor and hardware industries hurt performance. Stocks such as MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc. and Arrow Electronics, Inc. slipped due to lower than expected earnings. In the energy sector our models were unable to keep up with momentum and the Portfolio got hurt by underweight positions in Schlumberger Ltd. and Halliburton Co., which were sharply higher due to a steep increase in crude oil prices.
In the second half of the year our dynamic factor model began pointing more towards valuation and quality factors, resulting in a slight overweight of these factors. This helped performance slightly in the third quarter as valuation factors bounced back; however, they turned negative in September wiping out all the gains from July and August. Market recognition factors, which were in favor for most of the year, turned sharply negative during the period.
Valuation factors continued to perform well in the fourth quarter with factors like forward and trailing earnings to price as well as price to free cash flow doing well in November and December. However, market recognition factors such as analyst estimate revisions and earnings trends that worked well early in the quarter underperformed toward the end of the year hurting returns.
Overall, security selection detracted from performance with selection in the healthcare, industrials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors hurting returns. These losses were partially offset by security selection in the energy and financials sectors.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our research builds a structured portfolio of stocks with fundamental characteristics that we believe will translate into a performance advantage over the benchmark. The evaluation includes every stock in the index.
At the close of the reporting period, the Portfolio was overweight in the consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors and underweight in the information technology and utilities sectors.

ING VP SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Small Company Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies with smaller market capitalizations. The Portfolio is managed by Joseph Basset, CFA, and Steve Salopek, Portfolio Managers of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (31.05)% compared to the Russell 2000® Index(1), which returned (33.79)% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Despite the recent rally of nearly 30% for the Russell 2000® Index, the index was down over 33% for the year. This past year was the worst year since 1973 for small-cap stocks and there were few places to hide. Returns were negative across all sectors — fewer than one in five stocks of the index turned in positive results. However, small-caps did outperform both large-caps and mid-caps due to better performance by financials. Energy was down almost 50% for the year due to the significant decline in the price of oil and the fact that the current economic environment is unfavorable for energy.
Stock selection within industrials, financials, utilities and materials benefited the Portfolio during the period. Our underweight in consumer discretionary also added to performance, as the sector was down over 47% for the year. Notable outperformance within industrials was due to strong stock selection within aerospace and defense, commercial services and supplies and professional services. Financials benefited from stock selection within thrifts and mortgage finance and real estate investment trusts ("REITs").
Stock selection within the energy, technology and healthcare sectors detracted most from performance. In energy, returns were held back by our slight overweight position and stock selection within energy equipment and services and oil, gas and consumable fuels. Within technology, stock selection within communications equipment and electronic equipment instruments and components detracted from performance. Underperformance in healthcare is attributable to stock selection among pharmaceuticals.
Greatbatch, Inc. ("Greatbatch") and First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. ("First Niagara") contributed significantly to performance over the period. First Niagara provides retail and commercial banking and financial services. The stock's outperformance was mainly driven by the bank's overall capital strength, disciplined underwriting and lack of exposure to the troubled loan segments, e.g., sub-prime mortgages, construction lending and speculative development. While the company has not been immune to the problems facing the banking sector throughout 2008, the strength of its balance sheet has allowed it to outperform relative to its peers.
Greatbatch is a leading developer and manufacturer of critical components used in medical devices for the cardiac rhythm management, neurostimulation, vascular and interventional radiology markets. The company executed well on its acquisition strategy, which helped it diversify from its cardiac rhythm management franchise and provide greater stability/visibility to its operating earnings. Also, the street was initially skeptical of the company's ability to diversify and execute on the diversification strategy. As each quarter passed, the company's execution proved to be flawless and the firm gained substantial momentum as evidenced by increasing earnings and expanded margins.
Global Industries Ltd. ("Global Industries") and Arbitron, Inc. ("Arbitron") were two of the largest detractors from performance over the period. Global Industries provides construction and support services to the offshore oil and gas industry. The company had a difficult second quarter due to execution issues, which resulted in investors losing confidence in management, and due to a poor macro environment for energy. We no longer hold a position in this company.
Arbitron, which measures the listening audience for radio and provides this data to both radio stations and advertisers, recently lost market share to a competitor. We continue to hold this name, as the company remains the market leader, expectations have been reset and we believe the valuation is reasonable.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to focus on companies with strong balance sheets and cash flow generation capabilities. We are conscious of the difficulties in the current economic environment. We believe, however, that the economy will begin to improve in 2009 due to the massive amount of monetary stimulus being pumped into the system globally.
Accordingly, we have begun to increase our exposure to more early cyclical companies. Within financials, we continue to mitigate risk through diversification and are invested across the financial sector, in banks, diversified financials, insurance companies and real estate investments trusts ("REITS"). The banks that we own are typically over-capitalized and have higher reserves than industry averages. We continue to take advantage of the volatility in the market to acquire attractively valued companies whose share prices we believe are not trading on fundamentals.

ING OPPORTUNISTIC LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING Opportunistic Large Cap Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks. The Portfolio is managed by Omar Aguilar, Ph.D. and Vincent Costa — Portfolio Managers* of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (35.61)% compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index(1) and the Russell 1000® Index(2), which returned (36.85)% and (37.60)%, respecti vely, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Security selection drove performance for the period, with selection in the financials, energy and consumer discretionary sectors benefiting returns. These gains were partially offset by security selection in the industrials and health care sectors. Underweight positions in the financials and materials sectors as well as an overweight position in the consumer staples sector also benefited results for the period.
2008 began with a spike in volatility, but during the rest of the first half of the year market recognition factors such as sales growth and analyst estimate revisions re-asserted themselves and drove performance. Quality and valuation factors such as book to price, dividend yield and capital expenditure to sales did not work well. Sectors such as banks and utilities benefited from the good performance of market recognition factors. In contrast, market recognition factors in the energy, health care, industrials and financials services sectors could not offset the severe underperformance of the valuation factors.
After a challenging first quarter our quantitative strategies stabilized in the second quarter as the markets began to return to company fundamentals. The Portfolio rebounded and offset much of its loss from the first quarter. Our dynamic factor weighting model helped us tilt the Portfolio's weights away from deep value factors like book to price, steering it to an underweight position in the financials sector, which fell sharply during the second quarter. The tilt also helped security selection within the consumer staples sector, particularly in food and staples retailing names such as Kroger Co.
In the second half of the year the Portfolio's dynamic factor model began pointing more towards valuation and quality factors, resulting in a slight overweight of these factors. Regrettably, after a promising start in July and August, these factors turned negative in September and wiped out all their previous gains. Market recognition factors also turned sharply negative and detracted from performance. Quality factors that were flat for the year performed well during the third quarter.
The shift to value and quality paid off in the fourth quarter, as factors like forward and trailing earnings to price and price to free cash flow performed extremely well. Quality factors such as capital expenditures to deprecation also helped returns during the fourth quarter. Finally, market recognition factors such as analyst estimate revisions and earnings trends worked well early in the quarter but faded toward the end of the year.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Our research builds a structured portfolio of stocks with fundamental characteristics that we believe will translate into a performance advantage over the benchmark. The evaluation includes every stock in the index.
At the close of the reporting period, portfolio overweightings included the energy and information technology sectors and underweightings included the financials sectors and materials sectors.

ING VP INTERMEDIATE BOND PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to maximize total return consistent with reasonable risk. The Portfolio seeks its objective through investments in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of debt securities. It is anticipated that capital appreciation and investment income will both be major factors in achieving total return. The Portfolio is managed by James Kauffmann, Portfolio Manager* of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (8.41)% compared to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index**(1), which returned 5.24% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Most pundits agree that 2008 was a record-breaking annus horribilis. Global de-leveraging worsened volatility across asset classes, and fixed income was not immune. In December, the National Bureau of Economic Research officially declared that the United States had been in recession for a year.
Home prices declined precipitously across major metro areas, foreclosures sky-rocketed and investors largely abandoned the residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") market. Yields on U.S. Treasuries reached historic lows as investment grade corporate debt spreads widened to a level implying an expected default rate of 30%, which tops the experience of the Great Depression, when corporate defaults totaled about 20%.
Central banks around the globe frantically reduced short-term rates in the face of rapidly deteriorating economic conditions. Fiscal stimulus programs were initiated in most major economies. Here in the U.S., the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the federal funds rate at each meeting, eventually settling at 0.25% by year-end. The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") also indicated it would purchase large quantities of agency debt and mortgage-backed securities to support the mortgage and housing market. As a result, the markets calmed down a bit in the waning days of 2008.
The Portfolio was underweight Treasuries for most of the year, which hurt performance. The Portfolio was overweight many of the sectors hit hardest by risk aversion, including non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), financials and corporate bonds. Given that non-agency RMBS are not in the benchmark, our positions led to significant underperformance versus the benchmark. Additionally, we were too early in adding corporate risk back into the Portfolio following the rescue of Bear Stearns in March; this renewed focus detracted from results when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in September.
Our investment process focuses on security selection, which was clearly out of favor in 2008. We tend to focus on unique corporate bonds, which are often lower in the capital structure and may trade at a discount to their intrinsic value. Unfortunately, the bond market cared little about important distinctions between bonds and witnessed an unprecedented flight to quality.
We did, however, avoid the underperformance of high yield and emerging market debt by being largely absent those sectors. Although yield curve, duration and currency exposures changed throughout a highly volatile year, the decisions made in this risk area were largely beneficial.
Current Outlook and Strategy: We believe the government will continue to deploy significant amounts of capital in an effort to combat liquidity constraints, which will lead to larger deficits but also a possibility of better economic growth in the future. But since we also believe the Fed will not be raising rates anytime soon, we think that Treasury rates will continue to be range-bound; therefore, we believe a relative neutral duration and curve exposure, with small tactical moves, is warranted at this time.
In an economy where cash flow is scarce and both individuals and corporations want to de-lever we believe it is prudent to be in the higher end of the capital structure where debt holders are the beneficiaries of limited cash flows to the detriment of equity holders. In our opinion, U.S. investment grade bonds offer attractive value.
We believe that in a market where the government is controlling a majority of the outcomes we should invest along with the government. Therefore, some of the companies we own either will have some sort of government support, or their ratings will allow them to sell commercial paper directly to the Fed. Other criteria are that they belong to an extremely important sector for the economy, such as utilities or telecommunications and that they have strong cash flows and balance sheets.
The Portfolio remains overweight securitized assets and RMBS in particular. We still believe there are good investments with the potential for solid, long-term returns in some of these securities. The areas where we believe value exists include certain securities backed by prime jumbo loans with good borrower profiles, and even some ALT-A backed bonds that have a conforming balance and may be refinanced at a lower rate.

ING VP MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING VP Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to provide high current return, consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, through investment in high-quality money market instruments, while maintaining a stable share price of $1.00 per share*. The Portfolio is managed by David S. Yealy, Portfolio Manager of ING Investment Management Co. — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's shares provided a total return of 2.67% compared to the iMoneyNet First Tier Retail Index(1), which returned 2.13% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Calendar-year 2008 was one of the most difficult and challenging periods in history for money market funds. The first quarter was highlighted by near collapse of Bear Stearns and the subsequent buyout by JPMorgan. The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") aggressively cut interest rates a combined 2% during the quarter. This was one of many steps taken by the U.S. central bank along with the other central banks globally to address the illiquidity and credit stress in the market.
The second quarter was one of transition, from concern over lower economic growth leading to lower short-term rates to concern over inflation and the possibility of significant interest rate increases. The Fed lowered the federal funds rate in April 2008. Liquidity remained an issue but central bank actions prevented further market deterioration, and we saw modest improvement in conditions.
The third quarter was marked by the seizing up of the credit markets and loss of confidence as the government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt and market bellwethers such as General Electric, AIG and Wachovia faltered. The systemic risk and capital market panic that ensued resulted in a worldwide multi-sector collapse of virtually all risk-based asset prices.
The markets for short-term funding, such as money market funds, threatened to stop functioning. The Fed made an emergency inter-meeting cut of the federal funds rate from 2.00% to 1.50% on October 8, 2008. This was followed by another 0.50% cut at the October 29, 2008 meeting and an unprecedented step at the December 15–16, 2008 meeting where the Fed set a Fed funds target rate range of 0% to 0.25%. The Fed initiated a variety of innovative confidence building tactics, such as providing relief for the commercial paper markets and money market funds.
Our focus during the period was not on maximizing yield and return but on preservation of capital, reducing risk and increasing liquidity due to extreme risks in the market. The Portfolio was able to outperform its benchmark despite our risk reduction strategy.
The Portfolio did take on interest rate risk, primarily during the second half of the year, extending its weighted average maturity ("WAM") by buying longer term Treasury and agency securities. The Portfolio finished the year with a 78-day WAM, which is at the long end of its range. We avoided additional credit risk but gave up some incremental yield by not buying higher yielding debt of more marginal issues and structured securities not covered by the government programs. This strategy cushioned the impact of the rate cuts and declining yields, and we believe it should continue to do so in the current low rate environment going forward.
Current Strategy and Outlook: Going into the new year, we continue to emphasize reducing credit risk and maintaining excess liquidity. The Portfolio is targeting three times the normal 7% position in repurchase agreements. The Portfolio is targeting additional liquid positions that mature in fewer than seven days, as well as 35–45% exposure in asset backed commercial paper ("ABCP"), which is eligible to be sold to the Fed at amortized cost under one of its liquidity support programs. We have been extending ABCP maturities into March and April 2009, seeking to lock in the higher yields offered there relative to maturities in January 2009.
The Portfolio continues to reduce exposure to issuers that have not received direct central bank support or guarantees or are not covered by one of the various Fed/Treasury programs. Without these supports, such securities carry more risk and could be illiquid if we had to sell them prior to maturity. We continue to reduce the Portfolio's floating rate exposure through maturities and secondarily via outright sales, as this sector is expected to underperform in a low interest rate environment.
Principal Risk Factors: Please see the "Notes to Financial Statements" section for information regarding the Capital Support Agreement that the Portfolio has entered into.
Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio.
* Effective October 7, 2008, the Portfolio's investment objective was revised to state that it will seek to maintain a stable share price of $1.00 per share.

ING BLACKROCK GLOBAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
ING BlackRock Global Science and Technology Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio is managed by Thomas P. Callan, CFA, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, Erin Xie, PhD, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager and Jean M. Rosenbaum, CFA, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of BlackRock Advisors, LLC — the Sub-Adviser.
Performance: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Portfolio's Class I shares provided a total return of (39.82)% compared to the Standard & Poor's 500® Composite Stock Price Index(1) ("S&P 500® Index") and the NYSE Arca Tech 100 IndexSM(2),which returned (37.00)% and (34.50)%, respectively, for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Over the past year, global equity markets suffered massive declines on the back of widespread market failures. During this time, the MSCI All-Country World Index closed down approximately 42.00% Looking back, the first half of 2008 saw a tug-of-war between the inflationary pressures of rising commodity prices and the deflationary pressures of collapsing credit markets. Once it became evident that inflation would not be an ongoing concern, central banks and governments shifted policy towards supporting economic growth. With the bailout of Bear Stearns in early March, followed by the unprecedented events of September, investor sentiment fell rapidly. As a result, equity volatility climbed, with the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index ("VIX") hitting its all-time high of roughly 90 on October 24. The year ended with a sharp reb ound from mid-November lows as investors hoped economic recovery would be in store for 2009, but with concerns that those lows could be retested if data showed worse than expected economic conditions. In this environment, technology shares unperformed broader markets amidst uncertain economic conditions.
The Portfolio underperformed its reference benchmark, the NYSE Arca Tech 100SM Index for the fiscal year. Stock selection was the weakest component of attribution, while allocation effects somewhat offset these results. Within information technology ("IT"), weak selection came from internet software & services, communications equipment, and, to a lesser extent, from semiconductors and semiconductor equipment holdings. Names such as Baidu.com ADR, eBay, Inc., and VeriSign, Inc. within the internet software & services sub-industry fell by 50% or more during their holding periods. From an individual stock perspective, overweight positions in Apple, Inc., Google, Inc., and Microsoft Corp. had the greatest negative impact, as all experienced significant price depreciation over the period. In addition, stock selection within healthcare detracted, particularly within the pharmaceuticals and life science tools & services subse ctors. Positive stock selection effects came from subindustries such as computer hardware and applications software, as we avoided or held underweights in many of the weakest names within these groups.
Overall allocation effects were positive. An underweight in the information technology sector over the time period contributed positively to allocation results. Within specific subsectors, holding an underweight in application software and computer hardware names contributed positively, as did overweighting the integrated telecommunications space. Additionally, holding cash in a down market helped preserve capital.
Current Strategy and Outlook: We continue to hold a diversified basket of technology shares as we remain cautious on the sector long-term. The industry cut production aggressively in response to the slower than expected demand in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the supply chain may need to be replenished in the near term. Longer-term, we believe there is excess production capacity that needs to be eliminated. Further, smaller players may struggle to stay alive due to credit strains and lack of liquidity. We continue to search for companies within IT that are the relative beneficiaries of the current distress and/or offer innovative new products. Within healthcare, we are relatively more constructive at this time on the large-cap biotechnology names, based on improving fundamentals and attractive valuations.
At year-end, the Portfolio was invested in IT, healthcare, industrials, and telecommunication services, with the remainder in consumer discretionary and consumer staples. Within IT, the Portfolio's primary overweights were in semiconductors, electronic components and home entertainment; significant underweights were in data processing & outsourced services, application software and communications equipment. Inside the healthcare portion of the portfolio, the Portfolio held overweights in healthcare equipment & supplies, and was underweight in pharmaceuticals and life science tools & services.
Portfolio holdings and characteristics are subject to change and may not be representative of current holdings and characteristics. The outlook for this Portfolio may differ from that presented for other ING Funds. Performance for the different classes of shares will vary based on differences in fees associated with each class.

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. 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 mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value and does not reflect the effect of insurance contract charges. Total return for periods less than one year is not annualized.
(2) Annualized for periods less than one year.
(3) Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of a Portfolio. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the Investment Adviser and/or Distributor or reductions from brokerage commission recapture arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by a Portfolio during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the Investment Adviser and/or Distributor but prior to reductions from brokerage commission recapture arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by a Portfolio. Net investment income (loss) is net of all such additions or reductions.

† Impact of waiving the advisory fee for the ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund holding has less than 0.005% impact on the expense ratio and net investment income or loss ratio.
(a) There was no impact on total return by the affiliate payment in Note 16.
(b) In 2005, the Investment Adviser fully reimbursed each Portfolio for a loss incurred from a transaction not meeting a Portfolio's investment's guidelines. There was no impact on total return.
(c) NAV and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split that occurred on October 7, 2008. Effective October 7, 2008, the Portfolio converted to a stable share price of $1.00 per share. In connection with this change, the Portfolio utilized a stock split and distributed additional shares to its shareholders (adjustment factor: 12.926 shares to 1 share) such that each shareholder's proportionate interest and aggregate value of investment in the Portfolio remained the same.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION
Organization. The ING Variable Product Funds are comprised of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc., ING Variable Funds, ING Variable Portfolios, Inc., ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio, and ING VP Money Market Portfolio (collectively, "Registrants"), all of which are open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act" or "Act").
ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on December 14, 1988 with one portfolio, ING VP Balanced Portfolio ("Balanced"). ING Variable Funds is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio ("Growth and Income"). ING Variable Portfolios, Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of Maryland on June 4, 1996 and has fifteen active separate portfolios. The four portfolios that are in this report are: ING Opportunistic LargeCap Growth Portfolio ("Opportunistic LargeCap Growth"), formerly, ING VP Growth Portfolio, ING VP Small Company Portfolio ("Small Company"), ING Opportunistic LargeCap Value Portfolio ("Opportunistic LargeCap Value"), formerly, ING VP Value Opportunity Portfolio and ING BlackRock Global Science and Technology Portfolio ("Global Science and Technology"), formerly, ING VP Global Science and Techno logy Portfolio. ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio ("Intermediate Bond"). ING VP Money Market Portfolio is a business trust formed under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984 with one portfolio, ING VP Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market"). Each of the portfolios is a "Portfolio" and collectively, they are the "Portfolios".
The following is a brief description of each Portfolio's investment objective:
• Balanced seeks to maximize investment return consistent with reasonable safety of principal, by investing in a diversified portfolio of one or more of the following asset classes: stocks, bonds, and cash equivalents based on the judgment of the Portfolio's management, of which of those sectors or mix thereof offers the best investment prospects;
• Growth and Income seeks to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock;
• Opportunistic LargeCap Growth seeks growth of capital through investment in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock believed to offer growth potential;
• Small Company seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations;
• Opportunistic LargeCap Value seeks growth of capital primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of common stocks;
• Intermediate Bond seeks to maximize total return consistent with reasonable risk;
• Money Market seeks to provide high current return, consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, through investment in high-quality money market investments while maintaining a stable share price of $1.00(1); and
• Global Science and Technology seeks long-term capital appreciation.
(1) Effective October 7, 2008, Money Market seeks to maintain a stable share price of $1.00 per share. In connection with this change, the Portfolio utilized a stock split and distributed additional shares to its shareholders such that each shareholder's proportionate interest and aggregate value of investment in the Portfolio remained the same.
Each Portfolio offers Class I and Class S shares. Each Portfolio except Money Market offers Adviser ("ADV") Class shares. The three classes differ principally in applicable distribution and 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 directors/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, regist ration, 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.
Shares of the Portfolios may be offered to separate accounts of insurance companies as investment options

under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. Shares may also be offered to qualified pension and retirement plans outside the variable contract and to certain investment advisers and their affiliates. Class I shares may be made available to other investment companies, including series of the companies under fund-of-funds arrangements.
Participating insurance companies and other designated organizations are authorized to receive purchase orders on each Portfolio's behalf.
ING Investments, LLC ("ING Investments'' or the "Investment Adviser"), an Arizona limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser to the Portfolios. ING Investments has engaged ING Investment Management Co. ("ING IM''), a Connecticut corporation, to serve as the sub-adviser to each Portfolio, with the exception of Global Science and Technology. ING Funds Distributor, LLC ("IFD" or the "Distributor") is the principal underwriter of the Portfolios. ING Investments, ING IM and the Distributor 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 in the 1940 Act, and as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Portfolios' Board of Directors/Trustees ("Board"), in accordance with methods that are specifically authorized by the Board. Securities traded on exchanges, including foreign exchanges, which close earlier than the time that a Portfolio calculates its net asset value ("NAV") may also be valued at their fair values as defined by the 1940 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, considerat ion 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 companies' securities. The value of a foreign security traded on an exchange outside the United States is generally based on its price on the principal foreign exchange where it trades as of the time a Portfolio determines its NAV or if the foreign exchange closes prior to the time a Portfolio determines its NAV, the most recent closing price of the foreign security on its principal exchange.
36
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Trading in certain non-U.S. securities may not take place on all days on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. Further, trading takes place in various foreign markets on days on which the NYSE is not open. Consequently, the calculation of a Portfolio's NAV may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of securities held by a Portfolio in foreign securities markets. Further, the value of a Portfolio's assets may be significantly affected by foreign trading on days when a shareholder cannot purchase or redeem shares of a Portfolio. In calculating a Portfolio's NAV, foreign securities denominated in foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents. 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 readil y 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 service may use statistical analyses and quantitative models to help determine fair value as of the time a Portfolio calculates its NAV. There can be no assurance that such models accurately reflect the behavior of the applicable markets or the effect of the behavior of s uch markets on the fair value of securities, or that such markets will continue to behave in a fashion that is consistent with such models. Unlike the closing price of a security on an exchange, fair value determinations employ elements of judgment. Consequently, the fair value assigned to a security may not represent the actual value that a Portfolio could obtain if it were to sell the security at the time of the close of the NYSE. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, a Portfolio is not obligated to use the fair valuations suggested by any research service, and valuation recommendations provided by such research services may be overridden if other events have occurred or if other fair valuations are determined in good faith to be more accurate. Unless an event is such that it causes a Portfolio to determine that the closing prices for one or more securities do not represent readily available reliable market value quotations at t he 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.
Money Market uses the amortized cost method to value its 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 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
37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Portfolios. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Portfolios do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, liabilities are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the estimated tax withholding based on the securities' current market value. Upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Portfolio's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. 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 Transactions and Futures Contracts. Certain Portfolios may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. When entering into a forward foreign 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. A Portfolio either enters into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or uses forward foreign currency cont racts 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
38
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
Each Portfolio, with the exception of 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 Portfolio is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margins and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by a Portfolio. When the contract is closed, a Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equa l 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 their value in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
E. Distributions to Shareholders. The Portfolios record distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Balanced, Opportunistic LargeCap Growth, Small Company, Opportunistic LargeCap Value and Global Science and Technology declare and pay dividends annually. Growth and Income and Intermediate Bond, declare and pay dividends semi-annually. Prior to October 7, 2008, Money Market declared and paid dividends annually. As of October 7, 2008, Money Market declares dividends daily and pays dividends, if any, monthly. Each Portfolio distributes 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 dete rmined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Portfolios to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and related excise tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. 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.
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 Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Portfolio will receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the carrying amount of the repurchase agreements, plus accrued interest, be ing invested by the Portfolio. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to assure that the value, including accrued interest is at least equal to the repurchase price. There would be potential loss to the Portfolio in the event the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
I. Securities Lending. Each Portfolio has the option to temporarily loan up to 30% of its total assets to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in
39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 Portfolio has the right to use collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be potential loss to a 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 investing in a Portfolio.
J. Illiquid and Restricted Securities. The Portfolios may not invest more than 15% (10% for Money Market) of their net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are not readily marketable. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for the Portfolios to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. The Portfolios may also invest in restricted securities, which include those sold under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and/or are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may not be publicly sold without registration under the 1933 Act. Certain restricted securities may be considered liquid pur suant 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 procedures approved by the Board.
K. When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market value of such is identified in the Portfolio of Investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Portfolios are required to hold liquid assets as collateral with the Portfolios' custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.
L. Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions. Each Portfolio, except Opportunistic LargeCap Growth and Small Company, 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 p ools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. The Portfolios account for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales.
M. 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 premium received by the Portfolios upon the writing of a put or call option is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability which is subsequ ently 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
40
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
secondary market or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.
N. 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 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 in terest 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 bu yer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap
41
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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 November 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.
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
42
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
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 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 changes in the market value of these structured products as an unrealized gain or loss in the accompanying Portfolio's Statements of Operations. A Portfolio records a realized gain or loss when a structured product is sold or matures.
Risks associated with structured products include credit risk (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligation) and risk associated with the underlying asset or reference. Since a Portfolio enters into the transaction with the borrower at par value, a Portfolio could receive more or less than it originally invested when a note matures. The prices of the notes may also be very volatile and may have limited liquidity in the market which can make it difficult for a Portfolio to value or sell at an advantageous price.
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.
O. 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 the Portfolio. Reverse repurchase agreements, as a leveraging technique, may increase a Portfolio's yield; however, suc h transactions also increase a Portfolio's risk to capital and may result in a shareholder's loss of principal.
P. Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Registrants may enter into contracts that provide certain indemnifications. The Registrants' 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 4 — INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES (continued)
The Investment Adviser entered into sub-advisory agreements with ING IM. ING IM acts as sub-adviser to all Portfolios except for Global Science and Technology. Subject to such policies as the Board or the Investment Adviser may determine, ING IM manages the Portfolios' assets in accordance with the Portfolios' investment objectives, policies, and limitations.
BlackRock Advisors, LLC ("BlackRock"), serves as Sub-Adviser to Global Science and Technology pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Agreement, effective February 2, 2007, between the Investment Adviser and BlackRock.
ING Portfolios are permitted to invest end-of-day cash balances into ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund. Investment management fees paid by the Portfolios will be reduced by an amount equal to the management fees paid indirectly to ING Institutional Prime Money Market Fund with respect to assets invested by the Portfolios. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Investment Adviser for Balanced, Growth and Income, Opportunistic LargeCap Growth, Small Company, Opportunistic LargeCap Value and Intermediate Bond waived $15,078, $16,163, $173, $11,852, $126, and $103,127 of such management fees, respectively. These fees are not subject to recoupment.
Pursuant to administration agreements, ING Funds Services, LLC ("IFS"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep, acts as administrator and provides certain administrative and shareholder services necessary for Portfolio operations and is responsible for the supervision of other service providers.
IFS is entitled to receive from each Portfolio a fee at an annual rate of 0.055% on the first $5 billion of daily net assets and 0.03% thereafter.
In placing equity security transactions, each sub-adviser is required to use its best efforts to choose a broker capable of providing brokerage services necessary to obtain the best execution for each transaction. Subject to this requirement, each sub-adviser may allocate equity security transactions through certain designated broker-dealers. Some of these broker-dealers participate in commission recapture programs that have been established for the benefit of the Portfolios. Under these programs, the participating broker-dealers will return to a Portfolio a portion of the brokerage commissions (in the form of a credit to a Portfolio) paid to the broker-dealers to pay certain expenses of a Portfolio. These commission recapture payments benefit the Portfolios and not the sub-adviser. Any amount credited to a Portfolio is recognized as brokerage commission recapture in the Statements of Operations.
NOTE 5 — DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES
ADV Class shares of the respective Portfolios are subject to a Shareholder Service and Distribution Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, the Distributor is paid an annual shareholder service fee at the rate of 0.25% and an annual distribution fee at the rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to its ADV Class shares.
Class S shares of the Portfolios have adopted Distribution Plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "12b-1 Plans"), whereby the Distributor is compensated by each Portfolio for expenses incurred in the distribution of each Portfolio's shares ("Distribution Fees"). Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plans, the Distributor is entitled to a payment each month to compensate for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of each Portfolio'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 12b-1 Plans, Class S shares of the Portfolios pay the Distributor a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets.

At December 31, 2008, the following ING Portfolios or indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of ING Groep owned more than 5% of the following Portfolios:
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company — Balanced (91.33%); Growth and Income (72.49%); Opportunistic LargeCap Growth (90.46%); Small Company (44.37%); Opportunistic LargeCap Value (82.99%); Intermediate Bond (31.71%); Money Market (98.28%); and Global Science and Technology (38.10%)
ING LifeStyle Aggressive Growth Portfolio — Small Company (5.21%)
ING LifeStyle Growth Portfolio — Small Company (20.00%)
ING LifeSyle Moderate Growth Portfolio — Small Company (5.61%); and Intermediate Bond (6.15%)
ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company — Growth and Income (14.52%); Small Company (9.37%); Opportunistic LargeCap Value (13.60%); Intermediate Bond (39.21%); and Global Science and Technology (60.26%)
Reliastar Life Insurance Company — Opportunistic LargeCap Growth (7.65%)
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.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, Global Science and Technology placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with a brokerage firm which is an affiliate of the Investment Adviser. The commissions paid to the affiliated firm, ING Baring LLC, was $3,081.
On September 16, 2008, Money Market obtained a commitment from the Adviser that an affiliate of ING Groep will provide capital support with respect to certain of its portfolio holdings. The Portfolio entered into a Capital Support Agreement ("Agreement") with ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Capital Support Provider" or "CSP"). The Agreement established certain circumstances ("Contribution Event") where the CSP is obligated to make a cash contribution ("Capital Contribution") to the Portfolio in an amount sufficient for the Portfolio to maintain its market-based net asset value per share ("NAV") at no less than $0.9950. The maximum amount that the CSP would be required to contribute under the Agreement is an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of certain notes (American General Finance Corp.) ("Notes") held by the Portfolio as a portfolio security on the date of the Contribution Event.
The obligation of the CSP to make Capital Contributions under the Agreement terminates upon the earlier to occur: (i) of 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 the Agreement, October 2, 2008 ("Termination Date").
In addition, the Portfolio agreed to 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 the Portfolio shall not be required to complete any such sale if (A) the amount the Portfolio 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).
On October 2, 2008, American General Finance Corp. commercial paper held by the Portfolio matured at par of $37,500,000. 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.
In the event that the Portfolio had received a Capital Contribution from the CSP with respect to the Notes and subsequently received additional payments from, or on behalf of, the Issuer in respect of the Notes, the Portfolio would have repaid the CSP the lesser of the amount of the Capital Contribution or the amount of

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 net of any recoupment by the Investment Adviser of such waived and reimbursed fees are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Operations.

NOTE 8 — LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolios, in addition to certain other funds managed by the Investment Adviser, have entered into an unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the "Citi Credit Agreement ") with Citibank, N.A. for an aggregate amount of $100,000,000. 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 Portfolios; and (3) enable the Portfolios to meet other emergency expenses as defined in the Citi Credit Agreement. The Portfolios to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.08% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount. Each of the Portfolios will pay its pro rata share of the commitment fee.
On November 11, 2008, the Board approved an extension of the unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. for an aggregate amount of $100,000,000. The Citi Credit Agreement was extended for an additional thirty-day period, terminating on December 18, 2008. The Portfolios to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount.
On December 11, 2008, the Board approved an unsecured committed revolving line of credit agreement (the "BNY Credit Agreement") with The Bank of New York Mellon for an aggregate amount of $100,000,000, not to exceed $50,000,000 with respect to any one Portfolio or 10% of the Portfolio's value of total assets if Net Asset Value is less than $25,000,000 effective December 18, 2008 for a 364-day period, terminating on December 16, 2009. The proceeds may be used to: (1) temporarily finance the purchase and sale of securities; (2) finance the redemption of shares of an investor in the Portfolios; and (3) enable the Portfolios to meet other emergency expenses as defined in the BNY Credit Agreement. The Portfolios to which the line of credit is available pay a commitment fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line amount.
Generally, borrowings under the credit agreements accrue interest at the federal funds rate plus a specified margin. Repayments generally must be made within 30 days after the date of a revolving credit advance. The following Portfolios utilized the line of credit during the year ended December 31, 2008:

NOTE 11 — 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, custodian 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 11 — SECURITIES LENDING (continued)
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:

NOTE 12 — CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENT RISKS
Concentration (Global Science and Technology). The Portfolio concentrates (for purposes of the 1940 Act) its assets in securities related to a particular industry, which means that at least 25% of its assets will be invested in that particular industry at all times. As a result, the Portfolio may be subject to greater market fluctuation than a portfolio which has securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives.
Foreign Securities (All Portfolios). Investments in foreign securities may entail risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities in which the Portfolios 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 Portfolios. Foreign investments may also subject the Portfolios 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 the Portfolios' investments.
Emerging Markets Investments (Intermediate Bond and Global Science and Technology). 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.
Derivatives (All Portfolios except Opportunistic LargeCap Value and Money Market). 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 co uld cause a Portfolio to hold a security it might otherwise sell or could 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.
Corporate Debt Securities (Balanced and Intermediate Bond). Corporate debt securities are subject to the risk of the issuer's inability to meet principal and interest payment 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 issue and general market liquidity. When interest rates decline, the value of the Portfolio'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.
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, VP Balanced 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, VP Balanced 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 Portfolio relating to these events is immaterial.
NOTE 13 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND OTHER TAX MATTERS
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. These book/tax differences may be either temporary or permanent. Permanent differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences are not reclassified. Key differences include the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, and wash sale deferrals. Distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
The following permanent tax differences have been reclassified as of December 31, 2008:

NOTE 15 — 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 16 — INFORMATION REGARDING TRADING OF ING'S U.S. MUTUAL FUNDS
As discussed in earlier supplements that were previously filed with the SEC, ING agreed with the Portfolios to indemnify and hold harmless the Portfolios 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with investigations related to mutual funds and variable insurance products. In November, 2007 and December, 2008, ING settled its indemnification commitments by making payments to the affected Portfolios. In connection with the settlement, ING paid $1,480 to Intermediate Bond, $2,198 to Growth and Income, and $22,573 to Opportunistic LargeCap Value.

NOTE 17 — LITIGATION
On December 12, 2003, Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. (now known as ING Investment Management Co.)( "IIM" ) received a copy of a complaint (the "Complaint") filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in the matter of Enron Corp. v. Mass Mutual Life Insurance Co., et al. Among other defendants named in the Complaint are defendants ING VP Balanced Portfolio, and ING VP Bond Portfolio (the "Subject Portfolios"). As of August 6, 2004 the ING VP Bond Portfolio changed its name to the ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio. The Complaint alleges that Enron Corp. ("Enron") transferred to the defendants, including the Subject Portfolios, over $1 billion in the aggregate for the purpose of prepaying certain commercial paper issued by Enron (the "Notes") and held by the defendants prior to the filing by Enron for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code").
The Complaint seeks to recover from the defendants including the Subject Portfolios, these transfers under the alternative but interrelated bankruptcy theories of preferential transfer and fraudulent conveyance. Although the Complaint does not specify the amount of each transfer in dispute, it appears that the sale of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc. of $23,181,757 of the Notes on or about October 29, 2001, and the sale by ING VP Bond Portfolio, Inc. of $24,963,125 of the Notes on or about October 29, 2001 are in dispute. The Complaint seeks to require the Subject Portfolios to repay to Enron the full amount of these transfers, in which event the Subject Portfolios would be granted unsecured claims against the Enron bankruptcy estate in the amounts of the repayments. If Enron proves up the elements of preferential transfer and/or fraudulent conveyance, these are strict liability theories of recovery.
The Subject Portfolios are part of a defense group of similarly-situated defendants. Along with those and other defendants, the Subject Portfolios moved to dismiss all counts of the Complaint, contending, among other things, that section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code provides a complete defense.
The Bankruptcy Court denied the motion on July 1, 2005. Accordingly, the Subject Portfolios filed an answer to the Complaint on July 29, 2005. The Subject Portfolios moved for leave to pursue an immediate appeal (the "Appeal") of the Bankruptcy Court's decision to the District Court.
On April 4, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a memorandum in support of the Subject Portfolio's motion for leave with the district court. In addition, the U.S. Attorney's office, on behalf of the United States of America and the Department of Treasury as well as the Governor of the Federal Reserve Board has each filed statements of interest in support of the Appeal.
On January 25, 2008, the United States District Court of Southern New York denied the motion for leave to appeal the bankruptcy court's denial of the Subject Portfolios' motion to dismiss. The court found there were questions of fact that still needed to be resolved.
Settlements between plaintiff and various defendants, both large and small, have taken place. Historically, the range of settlement figures have been between 25 - 40% of face value with most recent settlements being at approximately 13% net, of which those settling defendants will not get a proof of claim. As a result of these settlements, IIM and the Subject Portfolios are one of just two defendant groups remaining.
On April 29, 2008, IIM and the Subject Portfolios joined a plenary motion for summary judgment filed by Goldman Sachs. In addition, a separate brief was filed on behalf of IIM and asserts the defenses unique to the investment advisor defendants; that they were merely conduits. The court is scheduled to hear arguments on the motion on April 6, 2009. The Subject Portfolios believe that the facts and the weight of legal authority support their position.

Principal amount shown represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. Payments of principal on the pool reduce the value of the interest only security.
Z Indicates Zero Coupon Bond; rate shown reflects current effective yield.
The Portfolio received $3,110,000 in cash collateral for swaps and foreign forward currency contracts, with these amounts being held in a tri-party account.
* Cost for federal income tax purposes is $819,098,035.

"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:

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 $(4,789,683). Total unrealized gain (loss) for all securities (including Level 1 and Level 2) can be found on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

(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.

"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.

* In the event of a default, if this bond is no longer available an equivalent bond will be delivered.
** Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase.
(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.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for a mutual fund will terminate automatically after the initial term of the agreement (which term may not exceed two years), unless continuation of the agreement is approved annually by the Board of Trustees or Directors, as the case may be (the "Board") of the fund, including a majority of the Trustees/Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the agreement and who are not "interested persons" of the fund (the "Independent Trustees"). Consistent with this requirement of the 1940 Act, the Board of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, Inc., ING Strategic Allocation Portfolios, Inc., ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio, ING VP Money Market Portfolio, ING Variable Funds, ING Variable Portfolios, Inc. and ING Series Fund, Inc., with respect to each portfolio series thereof (each, a "Fund" an d collectively, the "Funds") has established a process for considering on an annual basis approval of the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement for each Fund (the "Advisory Agreement") with ING Investments, LLC (the "Adviser") and the sub-advisory agreement for each Fund (collectively, the "Sub-Advisory Agreements") with each sub-adviser of the Funds (the "Sub-Advisers"). Set forth below is a description of the process followed by the Board in considering approval of the continuation of each Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement (collectively, the "Agreements"), together with an explanation of many of the factors considered and related conclusions reached by the Board in voting to approve the continuation of each Agreement for an additional one-year period commencing January 1, 2009, followed by specific considerations with respect to each portfolio series covered by this report (each, a "Portfolio").
Overview of the Review Process
At a meeting of the Board held on December 11, 2008, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of each of the existing Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Funds. Prior to voting such approvals, the Board received the affirmative recommendation of the Contracts Committee of the Board, which is a Committee of the Board comprised of all of the Independent Trustees and exclusively of the Independent Trustees. The Contracts Committee recommended approval of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements after completing an extensive review of information requested by the Committee from the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, including the following: (1) comparative performance data for each Fund for various time periods; (2) comparative data regarding management fees, including data regarding the fees charged by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers for managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using inv estment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the Funds; (3) comparative data regarding the total expenses of each Fund; (4) copies of each form of Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement; (5) copies of the codes of ethics of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, together with information relating to the manner in which each code is administered; (6) financial statements of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser; (7) profitability analyses for the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser with respect to each Fund, and all Funds as a group; (8) descriptions of the qualifications of the investment personnel responsible for managing each Fund, the structure of their compensation and their responsibilities with respect to managing other accounts or mutual funds; (9) descriptions of the services provided to the Funds, including the investment strategies and techniques used by each Sub-Adviser in managing the Funds; (10) data relating to portfolio turnover and brokerage practices, including practices with re spect to the acquisition of research through "soft dollar" benefits received in connection with the Funds' brokerage; (11) data comparing the performance of certain Funds against "static portfolios" of the Funds over various time periods; (12) descriptions of the policies and procedures of the various service providers of the Funds for protecting the privacy of shareholder information; (13) information relating to projected sales and redemptions of Fund shares and business plans relating to the Adviser's mutual fund platform; (14) descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser; (15) descriptions of various compliance programs of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, including the Adviser's programs for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the Funds' policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure; (16) independent reports analyzing the quality of the trade execution services performed by Sub-Advisers for the Funds; a nd (17) other information relevant to an evaluation of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser in response to a series of detailed questions posed by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees.

ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
The Contracts Committee began the formal review process in July 2008 when it met separately with Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees ("Independent Counsel"), to review the information to be requested from management and the methodology to be used in determining the selected peer groups for comparing performance and expenses. The Contracts Committee then held meetings on October 15-16, 2008 and December 9-10, 2008, during which the Independent Trustees, meeting separately with Independent Counsel, reviewed and evaluated the information described above. As part of the review process, the Contracts Committee also met with representatives from the Adviser and/or the Sub-Advisers to discuss the information provided to the Committee. The Contracts Committee also considered information that had been provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers throughout the year at other meetings of the Contracts Committee, the Audit Commit tee, the Compliance Committee and the full Board.
The Independent Trustees were assisted by Independent Counsel, throughout the contract review process. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of Independent Counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Independent Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Independent Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to each Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Funds for the year commencing January 1, 2009, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Board considered the investment management and related services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, including the quantity and quality of the resources available to provide such services. Among other things, the Board considered the qualifications of the individuals responsible for performing various investment related services.
The Board also considered the quality of the compliance programs of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, including the manner in which the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser monitor for compliance with the investment policies and restrictions of a Fund and with the Codes of Ethics of the Funds, the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers with respect to personal trading by employees with access to portfolio information. The Board also considered the actions taken by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to establish and maintain effective disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
The Board considered the actions taken by the Adviser and its affiliated companies to administer the Funds' policies and procedures for voting proxies, valuing the Funds' assets, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings and preventing late-trading and frequent trading of Fund shares. With respect to these and related compliance matters, the Board also considered the responsiveness of the Adviser and its affiliated companies over the course of the past several years to the inquiries of various regulatory authorities.
The Board also took into account the efforts of the Adviser and its affiliated companies to reduce the expenses of the Funds. With respect to those Funds that are sub-advised by an affiliate of the Adviser, the Board specifically noted that, in recent years, the Adviser and its affiliated companies have significantly reduced the Funds' brokerage costs and portfolio turnover rates, as well as the quantity of research acquired through the use of soft dollars from the Funds' brokerage. The Board also noted the efforts of the Adviser to optimize the number of Funds in the ING complex of mutual funds and to standardize the asset management characteristics and policies across the ING mutual fund platform. Consideration was also given to the benefits that shareholders of the Funds realize because the Funds are part of a larger ING family of mutual funds, including, in most cases, the ability of shareholders to exchange or transfer investments withi n the same class of shares among a wide variety of mutual funds without incurring additional sales charges.
The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of advisory and related services provided by the Adviser and each of the Sub-Advisers, taken as a whole, are consistent with the terms of the respective Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements and justify the fees paid by the Funds for such services.
Fund Performance
The Board reviewed each Fund's investment performance over various time periods on an absolute basis and relative to the performance of (i) one or more appropriate benchmark indexes (such as the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index), (ii) a group of
120
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
similarly managed mutual funds identified by Lipper, Inc. and/or Morningstar, Inc., and (iii) similarly managed mutual funds within a specified peer group based upon a methodology approved by the Contracts Committee (each, a "Selected Peer Group"). The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, where applicable, ending June 30, 2008 and the one-, three-, and five-year periods ending September 30, 2008. Summaries of selected portions of the performance information reviewed by the Board, together with the Board's conclusions regarding the performance of each Portfolio covered by this report, are set forth below under "Fund-by-Fund Analysis."
Management Fees, Sub-Advisory Fees and Expenses
Consideration was given to the contractual investment advisory fee rates, inclusive of administrative fee rates, payable by the Funds to the Adviser and its affiliated companies (referred to collectively as "management fees") and the contractual sub-advisory fee rates payable by the Adviser to each Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. As part of its review, the Board considered each Fund's management fee and total expense ratio, as compared to its Selected Peer Group, both before and after giving effect to any undertaking by the Adviser to waive fees and/or limit the total expenses of a Fund. In addition, the Trustees received information regarding the fees charged by each Sub-Adviser to similarly-managed institutional accounts and other mutual funds, if any, and the comparability (or lack thereof) of the services provided by the Sub-Adviser in managing such accounts and other mutual funds to the services provided in managing the Funds. Wi th respect to the Funds sub-advised by an affiliate of the Adviser, the Board evaluated the reasonableness of the total fees received by the Adviser and its affiliate in the aggregate under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements. With respect to those Funds sub-advised by a Sub-Adviser that is not affiliated with the Adviser, the Board considered the reasonableness of the fees payable to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser in light of the ability of the Adviser to negotiate such fees on an arm's-length basis. Summaries of selected portions of the fee and expense information reviewed with respect to each Portfolio covered by this report are set forth below under "Fund-by-Fund Analysis." After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, the Board concluded with respect to each Fund that the management fee charged to the Fund for advisory, sub-advisory and related services is fair and reasonable and that the total expense ratio of the Fund is reasonable.
Profitability
The Board considered information relating to revenues, expenses, and profits realized by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser attributable to performing advisory, sub-advisory and administrative services for the Funds. With respect to Funds sub-advised by an unaffiliated Sub-Adviser, the Board did not consider the profitability of the Sub-Adviser to be a material factor because the Board believes that the Adviser negotiates sub-advisory fees with the unaffiliated Sub-Adviser on an arm's-length basis. The Board reviewed profitability data for the Adviser and its affiliated companies, including the distributor of the Funds, relating to (i) each Fund separately, (ii) all Funds as a group, (iii) all "retail" Funds as a group, and (iv) all variable insurance product Funds as a group, in each case for the one-year periods ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. With respect to the Adviser and i ts affiliates, such information was prepared in accordance with a methodology approved by the Contracts Committee. The Board considered the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliated companies attributable to managing and operating each Fund both with and without the profitability of the distributor of the Funds and both before and after giving effect to any expenses incurred by the Adviser or any affiliated company in making revenue sharing or other payments to third parties, including affiliated insurance companies, for distribution and administrative services. With respect to Funds sub-advised by an affiliate of the Adviser, the Board considered the total profits derived by the Adviser and its affiliate in the aggregate attributable to managing and operating each Fund. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits that the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, and any affiliated companies thereof, derive from their relationships with the Funds, including the receipt by certain affiliates of the Adv iser, of fees relating to the offering of bundled financial products, such as annuity contracts, and the receipt by Sub-Advisers of "soft dollar" benefits from the Funds' brokerage. The Board concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies, taken as a whole, with respect to providing advisory, sub-advisory and administrative services for each Fund are reasonable.
121
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Economies of Scale
In considering the reasonableness of the management fee of each Fund, the Board considered the extent to which economies of scale can be expected to be realized by a Fund's Adviser and its affiliated companies, on the one hand, and by the Fund, on the other hand, as the assets of the Fund increase. The Board noted that the advisory fee schedule for certain Funds includes breakpoints such that, as the assets of the Fund increase, the Fund's management fee will decrease as a percentage of the Fund's total assets. The Board recognized the inherent difficulties in measuring precisely the impact of any economies of scale being realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies with respect to their management of any one or more Funds. In an effort to determine the extent to which economies of scale, if any, will be realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies as the assets of the Funds grow, the Board considered the profitability data d escribed above relating to the Adviser and its affiliated companies in light of changes in the assets of the Funds over various time periods. The Board noted that the total assets under management of many Funds have decreased during the past several years and concluded that the economies of scale realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies from managing the Funds have not increased with respect to such Funds. The Board also reviewed information regarding the expense ratio of each Fund in light of changes in the assets of the Funds over various time periods, noting that, as the assets of a Fund increase, the fixed expenses of the Fund, as a percentage of the total assets of the Fund, can be expected to decrease. The Board considered such expense information in light of projections provided by the Adviser with respect to the future growth of assets of the Funds. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the economies of scale being realized by the Adviser and its affiliated companies do not m andate the implementation of breakpoints or additional breakpoints, as the case may be, with respect to any Fund at this time.
Fund-by-Fund Analysis
In deciding to approve the continuation of each Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period beginning January 1, 2009, the Board took into account the specific data and factors identified below relating to the performance, fees and expenses of each Fund and actions being taken by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser, as the case may be, with respect to these matters. Except as otherwise indicated, the performance data described below for each Portfolio is for periods ended September 30, 2008 and the management fees and expense data described below are as of June 30, 2008.
ING VP Balanced Portfolio
In evaluating the investment performance of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, the Board noted that the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date and one-year periods but underperformed for the three-year and five-year periods. The Board received performance information relating to a benchmark index of fixed income securities (the "FISB") and equity securities (the "ESB") from which the Board could calculate a composite benchmark index (the "Composite Benchmark") comprised of 60% ESB and 40% FISB. The Board noted that the Portfolio underperformed the Composite Benchmark for all periods presented. The Board considered the fact that the Portfolio is ranked in its Morningstar category in the second quintile for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date and one-year periods and in the fourth quintile for the three-year and five-year periods. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser impleme nted a quantitative-based model for selecting stocks based on dynamic factor weightings to manage the equity portion of the Portfolio in 2008. The Board concluded that appropriate actions are being taken to improve performance and that additional time is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these actions.
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio of ING VP Balanced Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
ING BlackRock Global Science and Technology Portfolio
In evaluating the investment performance of ING BlackRock Global Science and Technology Portfolio, the Board noted that: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for all periods presented; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index for the three-year period but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, one-year and five-year periods; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in its Morningstar category in the first quintile for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date, one-year and three-year periods and in the second quintile for the five-year period. The Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.
122
ADVISORY CONTRACT APPROVAL DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio for ING BlackRock Global Science and Technology Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is above the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is above the median and average expense ratios of the portfolios in its Selected Peer Group. Additionally, the Board noted that in April 2008, ING Global Technology Portfolio merged with and into the Portfolio, and, in connection with the merger, the Adviser agreed to implement a lower expense cap for the Portfolio, which resulted in a management fee waiver of .03 of 1% (three basis points) of the Portfolio's average net assets.
ING Opportunistic LargeCap Growth Portfolio
In evaluating the investment performance of ING Opportunistic LargeCap Growth Portfolio, the Board noted that: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for the most recent calendar quarter but underperformed for the year-to-date, one-year, three-year and five-year periods; (2) the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark index for all periods presented; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in its Morningstar category in the third quintile for the most recent calendar quarter, in the fourth quintile for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods and in the fifth quintile for the year-to-date period. The Board further noted that in November 2007 the Portfolio transitioned to a quantitative, opportunistic large-cap growth strategy. The Board concluded that appropriate actions are being taken to improve performance and that additional time is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these actions.
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio for ING Opportunistic LargeCap Growth Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio
In evaluating the investment performance of ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio, the Board noted that: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods, but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter and year-to-date periods; (2) the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index for the one-year and five-year periods but underperformed for the most recent calendar quarter, year-to-date and three-year periods; and (3) the Portfolio is ranked in its Morningstar category in the second quintile for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods, in the third quintile for the year-to-date period and in the fourth quintile for the most recent calendar quarter. The Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio for ING VP Growth and Income Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.

The Board concluded that appropriate actions are being taken to improve the performance

of the Portfolio and that additional time is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these actions.
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio for ING Opportunistic LargeCap Value Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group, and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio

The Board noted that in July 2008 the Sub-adviser implemented a realignment of its fixed income portfolio management and research team in an effort to maximize fixed income research capabilities to better position the Portfolio for investment opportunities. The Board concluded that appropriate actions are being taken to improve the performance of the Portf olio and that additional time is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these actions.
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio for ING VP Intermediate Bond Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group, and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group.
ING VP Money Market Portfolio
In evaluating the investment performance of ING VP Money Market Portfolio, the Board noted that: (1) the Portfolio outperformed its Morningstar category median and its benchmark index for all periods presented; and (2) although the Portfolio is not ranked by Morningstar, the Portfolio is ranked in its Lipper category in the first quintile for the year-to-date, one-year, three-year and five-year periods and in the second quintile for the most recent calendar quarter. The Board concluded that the performance of the Portfolio is satisfactory.
In assessing the reasonableness of the management fee and expense ratio for ING VP Money Market Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee for the Portfolio is below the median and average management fees of the funds in its Selected Peer Group, and that the expense ratio for the Portfolio is below the median and average expense ratios of the funds in its Selected Peer Group. The Board also noted that in 2008 the Adviser and its affiliates provided credit support with respect to certain impaired securities held by the Portfolio, which minimized deviations between the Portfolio's market-based and amortized cost-based net asset value per share during tumultuous market conditions.

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

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 under Paragraph I 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
4
not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Committee may consult 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 quarterly basis, receive from the independent auditors a list of services provided to date by the auditors during 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.

The Nominating Committee operates pursuant to a Charter approved by the Board. The primary purpose of the Nominating Committee is to consider, evaluate and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the nomination and selection of Independent Trustees. In evaluating candidates, the Nominating Committee may consider a variety of factors, but specific qualifications of candidates for Board membership will be based on the needs of the Board at the time of nomination.
The Nominating Committee is willing to consider nominations received from shareholders and shall assess shareholder nominees in the same manner as it reviews nominees it identifies. A shareholder nominee for director should be submitted in writing to the Fund’s Secretary. Any such shareholder nomination should include sufficient background information concerning the candidate and should be received in a timely manner. At a minimum, the following information as to each individual proposed for nomination as director should be included: the individual’s written consent to be named in the proxy statement as a nominee (if nominated) and to serve as a director (if elected), and all information relating to such individual that is required to be disclosed in a solicitation of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case under applicable federal securities laws, rules and regulations.
The Secretary shall submit all nominations received in a timely manner to the Nominating Committee. To be timely, any such submission must be delivered to the Fund’s Secretary not earlier than the 90th day prior to such meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made, by either disclosure in a press release or in a document publicly filed by the Fund with the SEC.
In evaluating a candidate for the position of Independent Trustee, including any candidate recommended by shareholders of the Fund, the Nominating Committee shall consider the following: (i) the candidate’s knowledge in matters relating to the mutual fund industry; (ii) any experience possessed by the candidate as a director or senior officer of other public companies; (iii) the candidate’s educational background, reputation for high ethical standards and professional integrity; (iv) any specific financial, technical or other expertise possessed by the candidate, and the extent to which such expertise would complement the Board’s existing mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications; (v) the candidate’s perceived ability to contribute to the ongoing functions of the Board, including the candidate’s ability and commitment to attend meetings regularly and work collaboratively with other members of the Board; (vi) the candidate’s ability to qualify as an Independent Trustee for purposes of the 1940 Act; and (vii) such other factors as the Committee determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board and any anticipated vacancies. Prior to making a final recommendation to the Board, the Committee shall conduct personal interviews with those candidates it concludes are the most qualified candidates.
